Here's chapter two!

Erisa's P.O.V

The game had ended with Raimon winning 1-0 and Endou getting taken away by Tsunami to learn how to surf. It had something to do with the form of some new hissasu technique he was working on. After the game, I had noticed my friend Gou-kun watching from the hill above the school, so I went to go talk to him. I wonder how long it'll take them until they realize I'm gone.

Aki's P.O.V

After congratulating everyone on their win, I walked over to where Endou was. He, Tsunami, and Kidou were talking about the new hissasu technique and how the stance reminded Tsunami of surfing.

"Tsunami, please teach me how to surf!" Endou exclaimed after learning this.

"I don't know. Surfing isn't something you can get the hang of so easily." Tsunami said hesitantly.

"Please!" Endou begged.

"Alright, alright." Tsunami gave.

I laughed at the exchange while Kidou chuckled lightly.

"Aki, do you know where Erisa-san went? I need to talk to her about something." Kidou asked, catching the attention of the other two.

"Oh yeah, where is she?" Endou asked while looking around.

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "No idea. She disappeared after the match ended, but she sure was amazing."

All three of them looked at me questioningly, telling me to elaborate. I did.

"Well when the game first started, Erisa-san seemed uninterested, but when Tsunami's team started to predict our team's movements her face changed. Her eyes narrowed and she got this contemplative look in her eyes. A lot like how your face looks when you're watching a game, Kidou, but deeper. Then when that shot went over Endou's head, she got up and told you something Kidou. What did she tell you exactly?" I explained and then asked, looking at Kidou.

"She told me to change my timing. As well as pointed out what Otomaru was doing." Kidou answered.

"Wait. So Erisa-san is the one who came up with that strategy?" Endou asked, amazed.

"Ah." Kidou said, motioning for me to continue.

I nodded and continued my explanation. "We she came back to the bench I asked her what she told Kidou, but she just answered that she gave him a hint to their strategy. I asked just to make sure I heard right and she answered that she did and that she also knew what they were going to do once we caught on to the first strategy."

"Eh?! She knew all that just by watching the game for a few minutes?!" Endou shouted, catching the attention of everyone else on the field.

"Who knew what Endou-san?" Otomura-san asked as he and the other players from both sides listened in interest behind him.

"That Erisa-san knew our whole strategy after only watching a few minutes of the game, including what would happen after they figured out the timing." Tsunami answered.

"Th-that's outrageous! A full half I can believe, but not just a few minutes." Otomura-san retorted.

"It's true though. After she said that she knew your strategy, Coach then said something that I couldn't even believe to be true. But then the way Erisa-san reacted to it and kept silent, it was obviously true." I said, continuing on with what she had been explaining.

"What did Coach say?" Kidou asked.

"Erisa-san was once a captain." I answered.

"No way! Someone who hates soccer that much couldn't possibly be a captain!" Megane shouted in disbelief.

"Though it does make sense." Kidou said.

"What do you mean Kidou?" Endou asked.

"For someone to hate soccer, not just physically, but emotionally as well, they have to be knowledgeable of it. Something must have happened to her and she ended up blaming soccer for it." He elaborated.

Turning to me, he then asked, "What happened next?"

"Well, she froze. And then her entire face went completely blank. She refused to look at the coach and just watched the game. Coach then asked what the strategy was and what would happen after. She told us the strategy and then told us that once the timing was compromised, they would target the weak point. Coach asked for a counter and Erisa-san replied almost instantly with exploiting theirs. Coach and she just watched the game after that." I answered, remembering what had happened.

"Sugoi! To know all that you've got to have some kind of training as a captain!" Tachimukai exclaimed while everyone else nodded in agreement.

"I wonder where she went off to." Endou said, as he looked around.

"Oh well, no use worrying about it now. Come on Endou, it's time for your first lesson!" Tsunami said, dragging Endou towards the beach. We all laughed at their antics. Something told me that Tsunami would make a great addition to the team.

Erisa's P.O.V

I walked with Gou-kun as he followed after Tsunami and Endou as the raced towards the beach. He and I watched in comfortable silence as we watched Tsunami train Endou how to surf. I chuckled as he once again face planted into the water. Gou-kun glanced at me questioningly.

"I'm starting to realize what made you so interested in this guy. He's one of a kind." I said, shaking my head in amusement.

Gou-kun just chuckled in agreement. He never really says anything.

As we watched, I suddenly started to feel nostalgic.

"Ne, Gou-kun? Remember the first time we met?" I asked randomly.

He looked over at me in surprise, but nodded his head. "How could I forget?" He said.

Flashback
Warning: Spoilers for Inazuma Eleven Go! Also, a few of the moments in this scene did not happen during the actual anime.

"Come on Ten-kun. We need to get back before your momma starts to worry." I said as I balanced a heavy beach bag on my shoulder.

"Hai, Nee-san!" Ten-kun said as he took one more look at the ocean before following after me.

As we walked be a pile of boards that had been lined up against the fence, Ten-kun suddenly stopped and started to stare at the wood. I stopped when I noticed Ten-kun wasn't following and I turned around. I turned my head just as Ten-kun pulled a puppy from under the wood, disturbing the pile. Dropping the bag, I raced over to him as the pile began to shift downward.

"Tenma!"I shouted out in warning as I ran towards him. Not think of anything else but protecting him, I jumped in front of Ten-kun just as the boards fell apart from each other and down towards him. I braced myself for the impact that never came.

I had closed my eyes, my back facing Ten-kun as he curled himself around the puppy he had saved. There was a loud smack like sound, like a soccer ball hitting wood. There was then a loud crash on the ground.

I opened my eyes to find the wood splayed out in front of me, a soccer ball rolling away. I heard the small whine of the puppy behind me. Turning my head, I shook off my shock and latched on to Ten-kun, holding him close to my chest. I looked up from where I had buried my head in Ten-kun's hair to end up locking eyes with a boy my age covered by a red hoodie. My eyes said what my voice could not, "thank you."

The boy just nodded his head and walked away, leaving the ball. I smiled as Ten-kun wriggled out of my grasp, puppy still in hand. His head turned towards the ball and he clamored to it, the puppy held to his chest. I smiled warmly at him as he sat in front of it, intrigued by what it was.

A few days after that incident I saw the same boy walking through town with Hiji-kun, the boy was staying with him for the time being. It seemed as if there was some kind of organization after him and he had to lay low for a while.

It had been the first time that I was able to connect to someone besides Amy.

Flashback end

"We've come a long way since then haven't we?" I asked, looking towards him.

"Ah. And to think, all this hiding will soon be over." He said, letting out a smile.

"Well it's been a while since I've seen you share a genuine smile like that. Watch out, you might start hugging people next." I replied jokingly, earning a small laugh from my quiet companion.

"What are you going to do once this is all over and I have to leave?" He asked me, suddenly very serious.

I looked over at him in surprise, wondering what had brought on such a question. "No idea. Never really put much thought into the future. Probably what I'm already doing now. Maybe go looking for my mom, I heard she remarried and had a baby. Or hunt down a friend of mine who went missing. Who knows?" I answered, looking up at the sky thoughtfully.

The sudden lack of splashing and yelling caught our attention before we could go further into what might happen next. Moving through the woods so that we were able to see and hear the, Gou-kun and I watched as they started talking about what they would do when they couldn't do something.

I smiled as Endou started talking about his friend and how he had come all the way heard on just a rumor to see if it was true. He really is one of a kind.

I looked over at Gou-kun, but he wasn't there. I looked around, but found that he had vanished. I sighed, used to his little vanishing act. Seeing that there was not use in watching anymore, I left the beach and headed home.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*

The next day I was woken by Hiji-kun calling at eight in the morning. I was not happy to say the least, which is until I heard what he had to say.

"What?! Epsilon is finally here?! I'll be right over." I exclaimed. Hanging up, I got up and opened my closet door, upsetting Hogo who was sleeping on the unoccupied side of my bed. Ignoring the groan from the dog, I searched through my clothes for the right ones to wear to a soccer game as well as an arrest.

I settled on a pair of low ride jeans and white tank-top with a rose design. Throwing on my white sandals, I grabbed my bag and gave Hogo a hug bye. I left a note for Amy saying I had gone to the soccer match and would be back later. Closing the door behind me, I ran down the sidewalk towards Hiji-kun's, unknowing of what this day had in store for me.

How were they? I hope your answer is good. I don't have much to say so I'll just leave it here.

Ja Matta Ne, Minna!
