PREVIOUSLY: SLEEPOVER PART 1
“Also you!” comments back his team. Technically, it’s true. Before he really is so stubborn, he refused to take a rest and keeps on training. How many times he falls down, he will always stands back and continue. That’s what inspires his team, to be stronger like their captain. After all, they really owe him a lot. They swear to protect him at all cost.
Tenma really do love and appreciate his team so much. They will do anything just to get stronger together and no is aloud to let a person left behind.
“Uhh Ju!!!” Tenma stops at his thoughts and face the person who is calling him. “Yes Minoru-san?”
“Why don’t you tell us about you in Raimon.” Request his senpai, making Tenma not so sure if it is great idea to tell them but it’s his team they won’t let it past that easily. After all, he was back because he wants to heal himself with the help of them.
“Okay, I’ll tell you all about what I’ve been through. After cleaning we clean this all up” He calmly says it to them and they just nod as a respond. They already finished eating their dinner and was too caught up at their story telling. For them, it is truly a wonderful dinner night but this is not yet the half way of their sleepover. Until then, they still have time to have fun and so much to talk about.

BEACH HOUSE
The Shizen eleven are finished tidying up the dinner table and now they gather at the third floor. It’s pretty big room, the two sides of the room is all cover with clear window glass and you can really see a beautiful view of the moon shining across the sea. There are two white sofa in the center, one is long facing the view of the sea and the other one is at the right side facing the medium size center glass table with a large sky blue mat There is a fire place at the right side of the room and a white grand piano at the corner. The decoration of the room is full of white and kinds of blue, it gets the ocean vibe to it. It really feels warm and comfortable.
Some of team settle downs theirselves in the sofa, while the others just sat in the mat comfortably playing with the pillows. As for Tenma, he went to the grand piano, pressing random keys. It’s really been a long time he played a piano, then he remembers his loving mother making him smile in pain. Everytime when he sees a piano or violin, it only reminded him of her.
Tenma didn’t notice that his being stare the piano a long time and the team just watching at him silently worried, already know what he was thinking.
Ryuu lays his hand at his captain’s shoulder, able to get out his attention. He gives him a comforting smile which the brunet returns it back with a reassuring smile. Then suddenly he yelps at the sudden hug from behind by the winter boy.
“Why not you play some for us?!” request Hiro smiling brightly at him, hoping it will somehow cheer him up.
Tenma just nod with now bright smile on his face, feeling much better. He sat on the stool feeling the keys running through his finger, after a minute he starts to play.
“Sugoi Ju!” comments Hiro hugging him while all of them giving a huge applause. It is such a long while they see him playing the piano. Every time, they watch their captain playing a piano or violin, he always put all his emotion and his whole soul into the music.
“Ju!” The brunet averts his gaze to his senpai. “Shall we continue, on what we have left?” asked the vivacious member of the team, Minoru.
“Hai!” he calmly answers him and sits beside Osamu and then making himself comfortable first. ‘It’s now or never.’ He thought, look closely at his team, ready to listen to him. Then he starts telling his story, the whole
Then he starts telling his story. “When I first at Raimon town …”
Hours have passed Tenma finished his story.
The team is now more worried about their captain’s well being, after hearing the whole story. They didn’t thought that their captain is having a tough time in Raimon. They looked at him, resting his head beside the goalkeeper. They can tell in his face all the suffering and pain he carried this whole time.
Ryuu puts a hand at his captain’s shoulder getting his attention. Tenma looked at him, concern faces written in his face behind those he can sense something that he hasn’t feel it for a long time.
“Tenma!” one by one, the members called him with determination. After hearing the voice of his team, then he faces his senpai beside him, the last who called him by his name.
Osamu nods at him, reassuring him that they will always be there by his side no matter what. Somehow, Tenma feels better, the heavy feeling in his chest becomes light. He looks the whole team again.
His eyes sight becomes blurry, not daring to let it out. He doesn’t want to let the team to see him like this, he should be strong.
But then, someone held his shoulder. “Just let it out. We don’t wish you to be strong always. All we want for you is, not carry those burdens alone. You have us. You can talk to us and we will help you. That’s what makes us the team, no one will be alone to face everything, instead we face it together cause’ we have each other’s back.”
The dam finally breaks, his tears starts flowing down. The goalkeeper hugs him and the others join in. They all started to cry, really hate seeing their captain like this, why a great kid like him needs to suffer a lot. He really did so much for all them.
After a moment, they start to calm their selves and settle down to their seats. Tenma wipe all his tears away, feeling a whole lot better.
Then suddenly the sound of a clap gets their attentions. “Minna! It’s time to go back to our quarters. It’s already late. We all need to sleep.” Says the older manager, Rin, stretch out while yawning.
The team agrees, some of them yawn after they heard the word sleep. They are too absorb at their story telling and forgot about their tiredness.
They slowly stand up and go to their respective rooms, saying good night to each other.
The boys slum right in to their beds, pulling the cover in. Tenma silently giggles at sight of their tired members, and then he was caught the eyes of the goalkeeper, smiling at him. He also smiles back and whisper to him “Thank you”
Osamu nods, please to help him. Then, he turns off the light and go to sleep. Tenma makes himself cozy and close his eyes letting the darkness swallow him. Now the whole team is in deep sleep, going in to their own dreamland.
🌸
TENMA’S POV
I was walking alone in the dark somewhat like an endless void. I continue walking at nowhere to go, but then a yellow door appears in front of me. I widely push open it, a bright light shone blinding my sight.
Later on the light seems to dies down, I open my eyes and saw the very familiar field. It was the inside soccer field of Raimon. There are players in the field, but…
All the soccer players specifically the first team, are down, beaten up unable to move except one…
I’m speechless… Shock at what I’ve seen.
Standing alone, satisfied on seeing the first team suffer. He was about to kick the ball towards the small defender moving trying to stand back up.
I have to stop him.
“Stop it! Tsurugi!” thankfully, he heard it. I went towards him, confuse in my face. “You need to stop! Why are you doing these!?” I asked. Stand in front of the team.
Tsurugi looked at me, giving me a death glare. “Matsukaze Tenma! Your face ticks me off! Soccer is a waste of time!”
“What!” now I’m completely confuse. Without a warning, he kicks the ball towards me, sending me back.
I look up, seeing Tsurugi getting irritated and the team is already up.
But…
They looked angry…
At me.
I look through their eyes, I can see exasperation in them.
My chest sudden to ache, it’s slowly suffocating me. It’s crushing me inside.
Then the whole place goes pitch black, can’t see anything or everyone.
…
…
…
“You’re pathetic!”
…
…
I looked around searching the voice came from.
…
…
“You’re soccer is useless!”
…
…
…
“You’re worthless!”
…
…
…
“Greedy!”
…
…
…
“Selfish”
…
…
…
“Weak!”
…
…
…
“You’re destroying our soccer!”
…
…
…
“We don’t need you!”
…
…
…
“Get Lost!
…
…
…
“Go Die!”
…
…
…
Then the Raimon first team appears, surrounding me. They repeat and repeat all those words.
I can’t handle it anymore.
My chest and my brain are getting worst.
“Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!” I shout covering my ears. Tears start to flow down to my cheeks rapidly.
‘Stop it please!’ I thought, really want it to be over with.
Then it suddenly went silent. I looked up and a soccer ball went towards me, knocking me back. They started
passing the ball at each other, attacking me in the process.
Every minutes have passed, still continuing to attack at me. I don’t have any energy left and my body feels numb. My eyes started to get heavy. ‘Please, Stop it already!’
They stopped attacking me, I took a once last look at them. The soccer ball is under the foot of Tsurugi. His face has disgust and angry look towards me.
“Die!” he said as he kicks the ball with so much force at me.
And everything goes black.
🌸
I immediately sit up, panting heavily.
“Again, we that nightmare.” I quietly said it, careful not to wake up others.
Then my chest starts to ache and the migraine is back again.
I clench my hand in my chest while the other hand holding my head. I shut my mouth tightly not dare to make a noise.
Minutes later, it slowly starts to disappear. I take a deep breath to ease this pain away.
When I fully calm down, I looked at the time in the bed table. It was currently 3:00 am.
I went back down in my bed, trying to go back to sleep hoping there won’t be any nightmares.
I shut my eyes off, but whatever I did, I can’t sleep.
I went out in my bed and quietly sneaking out in the room. Thankfully, I can clearly see the pathway because of the light from the moon shinning through the window.
When I successfully sneak out, I let out a chuckle. By the time I sneak out, everyone is sleeping peacefully. You can only hear their calm breathing.
Suddenly the peaceful silent cuts off by one of the member, specifically the winter striker Hiro, started sleep talking.
And guess what he talks about, FOOD!
No surprising there. He will never change, always thinks about food.
As I go down the stairs, going to the kitchen to get something to drink.
I got a glass of water and drank it. Somehow, it freshened up my mind.
Then I caught a glance at the view of the ocean, shinning below in the night sky, through the glass door.
Might as well, gets a fresh air in this beautiful night.
I reach out the door, slowly closing it behind me.
I can feel the warm air brushing through my skin and the smell of the fresh sea.
I make my way towards the sea, feeling the grass underneath my feet until it reaches the sand.
‘What a wonderful night!’ stopping in the huge rock. I take a sit, and taking my time mesmerizing the beautiful ocean.
“I hope to get this all over with, here.” I sigh, letting all out my problems away.
“But… it will be much easier if you were here.”
************************************
Hi minna! I’m back with another finished chapter. I was having hard time inserting this to my schedule. Also, I really want to give my brain a rest for awhile from thinking. So instead of continuing the chapter, I watched Inazuma Eleven Ares and Orion.
It was so amazing and there are so many handsome soccer players in the series, especially Nosaka Yuuma and Inamori Asuto.
😍😍😍
I was thinking why not including these in to this story. There tactics and plays are so awesome and it got me inspired, giving me lot of ideas.
If you hadn’t watch Inazuma Eleven Ares and Orion. I advise you to watch it and you’ll gonna love it. The series is more like in other parallel world of Inazuma Eleven. You’ll be able to understand the background story of the other Inazuma Eleven characters.
Warning there are some characters that doesn’t really appear in the series.
By the way, I didn’t narrate the story of Tenma when he was at Raimon because I was planning to separate it in this story. I’ll be making another story taht is all about Tenma when he was young until he was at Raimon. In this way you can see his full background story.
That’s all for today minna. Hope you like the chapter. See you soon for another chapter. 😊😊😊
