Shirabe POV
"Come on, hurry!"
???: "Okay, okay! Chill out for a minute!"
I sighed and then turned around to look at Kirara.
"I know today's going to be your first day but you can't be late."
Kirara: *sigh* "I'm not trying to be late..."
"Are you sure?"
Kirara flinched before looking away.
Kirara: "Y-Yeah..."
*stare*
Kirara: "...Okay! It's not that I'm trying to be late it's just...!"
Kirara paused and I tilted my head.
"Just?"
Kirara: "Just... what if, they don't accept me?"
I was surprised for a moment before I let out a chuckle.
"They will. I know it."
Kirara: ??? "But..."
"Come on, act like a senpai, Kiri-chan."
Kirara: "...Senpai, huh?"
I pulled Kirara's hand and we started to enter Raimon. When we got to the club room I announced us.
"Good Morning!"
Shindou: "Good Morning, Shirabe-san."
Shindou had recently come back and was fully recovered.
Miria: "Good Morning, Shirabe-chan! Oh? Kirara-chan?"
Everyone turned their attention over to us.
Shinsuke: "That's Raimon's uniform...!"
Tenma: "Then...!"
Kirara smiled.
Kirara: "That's right! Starting from today I, Shirogane Kirara will be apart of the Raimon soccer club!"
Everyone: "EH?!"
Tenma: "Really?!"
Shinsuke: "Amazing!!"
Kirara had a smug look on her face as everyone started coming up to her.
And you wouldn't think that she was scared of coming here at first...
Shindou came up to me.
Shindou: "Seems like our club is getting even bigger."
"Mhm. But I'm glad that it is."
The two of us looked at each other and smiled.
Miria POV
"It's been a while since you're visited."
Tsurugi: "Has it?"
"Mhm!"
Tsurugi was coming with me to visit Mari after school.
"But I can't believe Kirara-chan's going to go to our school now... Not to mention being on our team too!"
Tsurugi: "She's still carefree as usual."
Tsurugi sounded a bit annoyed. I let out a nervous laugh.
"Oh yeah, how's Yuuichi-san doing by the way?"
Tsurugi: "Ah right I didn't tell you yet."
Tsurugi smiled at me and tilted my head.
Tsurugi: "Nii-san's getting the surgery to fix his legs."
"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.
