The Fate we Choose (Inazuma Eleven GO/CS/Galaxy)

Chapter 59 The Ending of the Start

"Eh?! That's great! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Tsurugi: "Well there was the finals and I was practicing with Tenma to do Fire Tornado Double Drive..."

"But still...!"

I pouted at Tsurugi before smiling.

"But really that's great. You'll get to play soccer again with Yuuichi-san!"

Tsurugi: "Mhm."

Tsurugi looked so happy. I was glad. Then when we got to the hospital I opened the door.

"Mari, I'm back and this time, Tsurugi came too!"

Tsurugi: "Hello."

I sat down next to her bedside and Tsurugi sat next to me.

"Mari... can you believe it? We won Holy Road! Ah, Maybe I'll bring the trophy next time..."

Tsurugi: "I'm not sure they'd let you."

"..." *sweatdrop* "True... bringing a trophy to the hospital..."

Tsurugi: "Not that, I'm not sure Tenma and the others would want you to take the trophy."

"Eh~ why?"

Tsurugi: "Because you're clumsy."

I felt an imaginary arrow shoot threw my chest.

"H-Hey I'm not that clumsy..."

Tsurugi stayed silent.

"Tsurugi!"

I sighed before soon smiling.

"We've been through a lot... haven't we?"

Tsurugi: "...Yeah."

"But it's thanks to Raimon... right?"

Tsurugi: "Yeah..."

The two of us stayed silent for a while.

Tsurugi: "Hey..."

"Hm? What is it?"

Tsurugi: "...Would you be my girlfriend?"

*Silence*

"...WH-WHA...."

I immediately stood up from my seat and felt my whole face burn up. I turn to him messing up my words.

"HA- NA-- WHA--- EH?!"

Then I noticed that Tsurugi's cheeks were red. I slightly calmed down knowing that I wasn't the only one embarrassed.

"...O-Okay."

Tsurugi looked at me in surprise.

"W-Well I liked you for a while now a-and... I was thinking of confessing to you after the finals so..."

Tsurugi: "I see..."

"Then... are we a couple now?"

Tsurugi: "I guess..."

I sat back down and the two were quiet again. My cheeks were still red but I felt happy.

!

I felt a finger touching my left hand and when I looked, Tsurugi was staring at me. He turned a little red and looked away while pulling his hand back but I gently grabbed his hand.

Tsurugi: !

He looked back at me and I smiled, feeling my cheeks were still red. He looked away again but I felt him hold my hand tighter.

We're inexperience when it comes to love but...

I gave his hand a squeeze.

I think we'll be okay.

I don't remember how long the two of us stayed like that but...it felt reassuring.

"..... Onee-chan...?"

I flinched at the voice. I turned and spoke with a shaky voice.

"...M-Mari...?"

Mari: "Onee-chan? Where are you?"

Mari lifted her hand reaching out towards me. 

"Ah... U-ugh..."

I felt tears coming down my cheeks.

"Tsurugi... Mari's... Mari's..."

Tsurugi squeezed my hand tightly before letting go.

Tsurugi: "I'll go get the doctor."

I heard the door close soon enough and with trembling hands I took Mari's hand in mine.

"Mari..." *sob*

Mari: "Onee-chan... I can't see you but that's your hand, right?"

*sob* "Mhm... try not to open your eyes. It'll make it worst..."

Mari: "Onee-chan, I heard..."

"Eh?"

Mari: "I heard your voice.... everyday you came to visit me... it made me happy. It was dark and I couldn't see anything but... hearing you made it a bit better..."

I started breaking down even more.

Mari: "I'm sorry... for making you and Mommy worried..."

*sniff* "No... Mommy and I... would do anything for you Mari. Because we love you."

Mari: "I'm sorry.... I'm sorry..."

Though I was crying a lot... today was probably the best day of my life... the love of my life confessed to me and my only sister was finally awake...

But... this was only the beginning of our history. A history I didn't know would be rewritten. I didn't know that Soccer wasn't completely back yet... but we are definitely going to get it back.
