(While Tenma was with Shuu, this was happening at Raimon)
Aki was away from home for a couple of days. Tsurugi promised her to take care of Sasuke. He got a key from the door to get food from inside. When he was done, he couldn't help but feel attracted to Tenma's room, like something was calling him.
And so, he opened the door and saw the cleanness of the room. It looked and smelled good. On the middle of his desk, he saw a small book. It was dark blue. 'The dark side of football' was written on it.
He shrugged and opened the book, reading the first page.
'Yesterday it all happened. My adventure to help Ishido, but still in my eyes seen as Gouenji, my savior. I admire him. I would do anything for him. That's why I yesterday joined Fifth Sector to become a SEED. He asked me to. I accepted, of course.
My family doesn't care about me at all since they find me trash. I don't have any friends, so those weren't there to stop me. Not that I'd listen anyway... Anyway, because of this, I could immediately go to God Eden. I did since I don't even have a house.
They kicked me out yesterday... So. I hope I'll become a strong player, so they will acknowledge me. If they finally do, I return the favor. I vow to take revenge. I'll take everything from them. Because they took everything from me. I am currently 9 years old.
Throwing a 9-year-old on the street... How dare they?! Hmph. Oh well, I won't trust anyone anymore. People are all the same after all. Gouenji excluded.
In this notebook, I'll keep track and... Write my adventures so I won't forget them. It's for me only, since I don't know anyone who is worth sharing it with. I'll write again tomorrow, it's bedtime.'
Tsurugi was a bit shocked when he read this. He turned the page and continued reading.
'It was a nice day today. Gouenji introduced me to someone who was also kicked on the street, even lost his sister! I felt slightly better. His name is Shuu. He doesn't have a last name, since he doesn't want to be the child of his parents.
Maybe I should do that too. Just be called Tenma... I'll reconsider it later. Anyway, I really liked him. He told me to meet up, and so I did. He felt like a person I could trust. Then he trusted me with his secret. Because of that, I trusted him too and told my story as well.
He didn't show pity, much to my relief. He said it was okay, since that's how humanity is. He wanted to become strong. Just like me. I hope we can be good friends... I'll even be happy if he wants to be just friends...
My first friend... Oh well. Keep on dreaming, Tenma.'
He was more shocked then first. He skipped a lot pages. Then he stumbled across the text that looked a lot better than the first pages. He knew this was written when he was older.
'Today's my 13th birthday! I celebrated it with Shuu and Hakuryuu. They are my friends. No. Cross that. Shuu is my brother and Hakuryuu is my best friend! I both love them so much. If someone was to hurt them, I'll make them pay.
Shuu bought me a football and Hakuryuu promised me to help me with a new Hissatsu. I'm so happy now that I live with Shuu! But when it got noon, my 'peaceful' life changed.
Gouenji told me I'd get my first mission as a SEED since I am old enough. I was very upset at first, but then I came over it. I was able to take my revenge on humanity. I agreed to it.
I still remember the day I made my vow. Now that I get to see the world again, I can begin to take revenge. Although, I'm scared Shuu and Hakuryuu will forget about me. Shuu reassured me that's not the case, and never will be.
Hakuryuu said we'll always be together no matter what. Always on the same side. Never be enemies. Gouenji said someone from my family doesn't hate me.
It is told that she was mad at my family. They didn't tell her they got me, since at birth they hated me. She got to see a picture of me and she said I was cute. Then I returned to the world.
I'm saying that, because God Eden is isolated from the world. When she first saw me, she ran to me and hugged me like it was the last minute on earth. Now I'm in my room, writing this. Tomorrow I'll get more information about my mission.'
Tsurugi nodded to himself and closed the book. He put it in his pocket and got to school, since it was almost time to train. Nobody knew where Tenma was, (except for Shindou and Tsurugi) which made them worried, but they got an anonymous letter that they shouldn't worry.

''Morning Shindou-san!'' Tsurugi greeted.
''Hello Tsurugi. You're a bit late.'' Shindou stated.
''Yeah... Sorry about that...'' Tsurugi said and shrugged it off.
''So? Where is Tenma?'' Kurama asked once again.
''He's with a friend of him,'' Shindou answered once again.
''You always say that! But where is that friend? He's been away for three days!'' Hayami stated.
''Yeah. Something might've happened to him,'' Amagi said.
''He'll be here. Don't worry about it.'' Tsurugi said reassuringly.
''How do you know that?'' Shinsuke asked while narrowing at him.
Tsurugi glared at the small boy, signaling him to back off. ''I just know it. Now let's practice.'' He said and walked to the pitch.
''Everyone! Our next opponent is revealed!'' Aoi yelled, running towards the players.
''Yeah. It's known for days now. It's Aoba.'' Kirino said in a matter-of-fact tone.
''No! They changed it! We're now facing Teikoku Gakuen!'' She said with a panicking tone.
''Heh. They're scared of us. They are finally taking action.'' Kurumada said proudly.
''Yeah. But Teikoku is tough. I want you all to practice twice as hard. The real challenge is just beginning,'' Endou said.
''Yeah!'' Everyone yelled and got to practice.

Somewhere in the hospital, someone knocked on a certain person's door. ''Come in!'' A friendly voice said.
Someone with light-blue hair entered the room. The disabled boy gasped. ''Y-you're...'' He said.
The person smiled. ''Indeed. I'm Kazemaru Ichirouta. I'm a good friend of your brother's coach, Endou Mamoru. You're Tsurugi Yuuichi, right?'' Kazemaru asked.
''Yes I am... It's an honor to meet you, Kazemaru-san! So why did you visit me?'' The navy-haired asked.
''Well... Your brother, Tsurugi Kyousuke... He's.... A SEED.'' Kazemaru said, going straight to the point.
It was silent. ''What?'' Yuuichi asked, making sure what he heard was true.
''Listen. Tsurugi is a SEED. He wanted to replace the current Raimon. One day, he changed. He said he was going to fight with us against Fifth Sector. Endou didn't trust the sudden change and asked me to find out what he was really planning.'' Kazemaru explained.
Yuuichi nodded his head. ''Go on...'' He said.
Kazemaru nodded. ''I found out he had a reason to follow Fifth Sector. He needed something that he only could get if he joined them. So even if we forced him, he would just leave the team.''
''What is more important than the football we love?! Tell me!'' Yuuichi snapped.
Kazemaru sighed. ''He thinks it's his fault you're in the hospital. The deal was, if he joined Fifth Sector, they would pay for your surgery.''
''But... I did this so he could go on playing the football we loved... How could he betray football...'' Yuuichi said, a few tears escaping his eyes.
''Don't worry. You just have to open his eyes. He'll help the team, Raimon can win, and Fifth Sector does no longer exist.'' Kazemaru said, reassuringly.
''Thank you, Kazemaru-san. I'll make sure he helps Raimon! But... How did you find this out? How do you know me?'' Yuuichi asked.
''...I have my connections. It will all become clear later. Just... Do this for now.'' He said and walked towards the exit.
''Okay. I'll trust you. I'll make sure Kyousuke will help. Again, thank you, Kazemaru-san.'' Yuuichi said.
Kazemaru snorted and smiled. Then he left the room. He grabbed his phone and called someone.
''Hello?'' He asked.
Nobody answered him. Then there was an evil laughter. Kazemaru gritted his teeth. ''You!'' Kazemaru yelled.
''Yes it's me. I found out about your little organization you and the old Inazuma Japan have. I also found out Fubuki had some information about us he wasn't allowed to share...'' The person said.
Kazemaru gritted his teeth. ''What did you do to him?!'' He snapped.
''Nothing... YET. I won't hurt him in any way if you just say what I order you to do.'' He suggested.
''What is it?'' Kazemaru asked.
''Stop investigating Fifth Sector. Stop Raimon, I don't care how. If you won't, Fubuki will... Not be able to open his eyes ever again. I'll give you three days time to think about this.'' With that, the person hung up.
With that, Kazemaru immediately called every one of old Inazuma Japan together in their secret headquarters.
