"Time for a break, Nishikage-kun!"

Nishikage stops his training the gym as (name) brought some water and towel for him, he enjoyed her company a lot even (name) too. She knew Kidou asked Nishikage to keep an eye on him which will get worse than before, acting is the only thing that Yoshihiro and (name) would do for now.

"Here's your bottle" he takes his bottle as (name) wipes his back using his towel due to his training earlier in the morning "Hey, (lastname)?" "Hm? What is it, Nishikage-kun?" He takes a deep breath to calm down himself "Are you comfortable doing 'that' to me or the other boys in the team?" (name) was kind of confuse about what is he saying "What do you mean?" "I mean that you're okay taking good care us like that, for example on what you're doing to me right now."

The (hair length) (hair color) haired female paused for a moment then stops wiping his sweat on his back "Yeah, I'm quite comfortable being like that. To be honest that's the only thing I could do, some people think I am more like elder sister figure or babysitter just because I take care a lot of children years ago, even Yoshihiro too."

Nishikage was curious to know about (name), even Nosaka too. Both of them think that she's special or a unique girl. What they both see on her that she's more like Nosaka but way too far, they see her as a reliable, amiable, and heroic girl in the team or to her friends. But Nishikage and Nosaka knew (name)'s life is a mystery to them, and they would like to know what her childhood looks like.

"Uh, should I stop on what I am doing? I think I made you uncomfortable when I do that" Nishikage shook his head "No, it's fine. I think I'll get used to it some of these days, you're the first lady friend I could trust now" (name) continue on what she is doing even the conversation with Nishikage "What about Anna-chan? Do you trust her? I'm guessing she's the one who told you about Nosaka-kun's illness" Nishikage recall some of his encounter with Anna "I... I don't think I could trust her much."

(name) had a lot question on her head because she think Nishikage might be a little bit difficult to know more about him "Why? You trust me but why you didn't trust Anna-chan?" "Well, it's too complicate. But Nosaka-san is in love with you, that's why I have to protect what's important to him" she sweat drop and takes some wipes to clean her hands "I think I can handle myself, Nishikage-kun. Also..."

(name) got into some kind of flashback, a place with a beautiful garden that looks like a camp for children had burned down. The grass were on fire including the cottages, every kids were running away to stay alive for longer. The kids want to do something more to experience it until they grow up by just running away from the enemy who is started the fire.

"... I don't want you and the others get harmed someday..."

Nishikage heard what (name) mumbled "What do you mean by that, (lastname)?" She notice that she says it out loud as she turns around her back and slaps herself with a slight echo noise which made Nishikage stood up fast did not expect (name) would do that to herself 'Damn it, I almost spill it out to him! I can't let anyone know my and Yoshihiro's past!'

"Oi, (lastname)! Are you okay?" Nishikage went over her side, he take off her hand on her cheek which had a red mark on it as it made him worry. (name) gave him a reassuring smile "I'm fine, just a cold water will heal this" "Are you sure? I think something is bothering you and the reason why you slapped yourself" she shook her head "It's nothing to worry much, Nishikage-kun" he could tell there is something that (name) couldn't tell him or the others as well.

Nishikage was going to ask her about what (name) said earlier a little force until "(lastname)-san!" Both of them looked at the person, it was Ichihoshi. "I-Ichihoshi-kun? What are you doing here?" The blue haired male went over to them and gave her cold water bottle "I heard some slight echo, and I thought it sounds like a slap until I heard Nishikage-san call out your name."

She was about to thank him suddenly Ichihoshi gently grabs her wrist "Come on, let's get you outside for fresh air" the two of them were going to leave the gym but Nishikage grabs her other wrist "I don't think I would trust you for that, Ichihoshi" two of them face-to-face as (name) could tell the tension between them, Ichihoshi had a mischief look on his face "Oh? Even you too, Nishikage-san? You don't trust me like Haizaki-kun after the incident of Kidou-san?"

Nishikage's grip on (name)'s wrist got a little bit tight, he doesn't want to hurt her and he doesn't want her to be another victim of Ichihoshi. He knew (name) was as important to Nosaka [even to the team] as he swear he'll protect her too just like he protect Nosaka at the times when Haizaki was their enemy.

"Nishikage-kun, I'll be fine" Nishikage looked at her "But (lastname)..." She gave him a look meaning that she can handle it as Nishikage let go and trusting her words. Ichihoshi and (name) went outside then went to the lake; he takes the cold water and pressed it on her cheek where (name) slaps it as this made it sting a bit "O-Ow..." "Jeez, what were you doing? That's so utterly ridiculous for you to do on yourself." The (hair length) (hair color) haired female sighs "I only do that if I say something wrong."

"Hm? Like what?" She pokes gently his forehead "Not going to tell you, Ichihoshi" the blue haired male somewhat blushed but not too visible to see "All right, I understand" both of them look at the lake just gazing there "(lastname), why are trying to save us?" (name) thought for a moment then the flashback earlier she had came on her mind "Because you and the disciples deserved to be free and do what you all like to do, except being one of the victims."

"How can you say?!" Ichihoshi snaps all of a sudden as (name) looks at him "Because I know I can save you all along my other friends who are going to help you" she could tell that he is getting on his nerves "I-I don't need some help! The organization that helped me before and if we the disciples succeeded on our goal we'll get what we want!" "What about you, Ichihoshi? Doing this kind of stuffs for the organization is it right or wrong?" Ichihoshi couldn't think anything else he shoved (name) on the grass as he was on top of her.

It hurt her head bit "Hey! You don't have to-" she cut her own words as she notice Ichihoshi's left eye changed "Ichihoshi-kun, what happen to your left eye?" Ichihoshi somewhat got confused but then realized what she said as he was going to do something to her. Fortunately, (name)'s phone rang as both of them jerked away from each other, she sat up on the grass then took out her phone and look at the ID Caller, it was Tatsuya.

(name): Hello?

Tatsuya: Hey (name)-chan, sorry for bothering you.

(name): N-No, you didn't bother me right now. I'm actually doing nothing for awhile.

Tatsuya: Oh, okay. Can I ask you out today?

(name): E-Eh?! T-This is not a date, right? Tell me this is not a date.

Tatsuya: *chuckles* It's not a date, no need to be tense about this.

(name): Ehehe. Sorry about that, Tatsuya.

Tatsuya: It's alright. So, what's your answer?

(name): Sure, consider this like a repay about my absurd idea to starve myself two days ago.

Tatsuya: Okay, I told the coach about this earlier and he agreed.

(name): That was fast!

Tatsuya: *laughs a bit* Anyway, see you later in front of the campground.

She end the call and looked at Ichihoshi "I have to go" he gave (name) a serious look "You won't tell anyone about 'this', right?" "I won't, and my mouth is always close along with my acting to the team" (name) stands up and was going to leave Ichihoshi but she stops for second "Ichihoshi." The blue haired male look at her but (name) isn't turning her back to face him "If you're going through a rough time, keep going until you reach the end. If you're going through hell, keep going until you find the ones who will drag you to the right path."

Ichihoshi was somewhat surprised at her words, he was going to say something but (name) left him already after she is done saying the words to him. He looks down on the ground in deep thoughts as he clenched the grass "Why are you so extraordinary and... Why I am developing something in my chest to you, (lastname)...?" He lay down on the grass and still deep thoughts just gazing to the skies.

"What is this feeling I'm developing now, Nii-chan?"

(name) got outside and saw Tatsuya who is actually holding a soccer ball while waiting "Tatsuya-kun!" The red haired male looked at her "Hi (name)-chan, you're just in time" "Where are we going? I kinda curious to know" Tatsuya gave her a sweet smile "We're going to Inazuma Town" (name) was confused as some question marks appear above her head "Why are we going back to Inazuma Town?"

"We're going to play soccer at the park; in short we're just like practicing there at that place" the (hair length) (hair color) haired female just smiled at him "All right" Tatsuya held her hand gently as (name) blushed on the sudden action, they both walk together side-by-side towards to the bus stop.

They both arrived at their destination; no one is at the park right now just only them "So, should we start practicing?" The red haired male nods as he kicks the ball towards to her "Yeah, I think we should" both of the start practicing, they even challenged themselves, they knew it was kind of childish but they are still having fun together also had a lot of practice too.

Tatsuya is really having fun as he notice every time he looks at (name) her figure changed into someone else, the girl he mentions to Hiroto. They talked about this earlier as the God Striker trust on Tatsuya to make her remember, they waited for her many years, they can't take it anymore and they will try everything they can.

(name) stops for a moment so does Tatsuya too, he looks at her "What's wrong, (name)-chan?" She didn't reply, she just stand there looking on something, he followed where she was looking at it's only a female around 20 years old who is actually babysitting a 4 years old child.

"Fumika! Time to go now!"

"Okay, Kanoko-nee!"

"Do you need something before we go back?"

"I want an ohagi!"

"Okay, okay, let's buy one for you"

Tatsuya look back to (name) again as he placed his hand on her shoulder "(name)-chan? Are you okay?" This made (name) snap out of her thoughts "Uh sorry, I got into my thoughts for a second" "Does it makes you remember something?" The female nods "Yeah, but I really can't tell you" Tatsuya ruffled her head gently "All right; I won't force you to tell that to me."

(name) just gave him a sweet smile as he did the same, they start practicing again. While (name) is dribbling the ball something came on her head "Oi! (name)-chan, look where you are going!" She snaps out of her thoughts again as she stops her tracks before she could fell on the fountain "Oh my gosh, that was close!" Tatsuya went on her side "Let's take a break for awhile, and fix your messy hair" he said that while snickering at her.

She quickly takes out her phone to use the camera to know her reflection and got embarrassed "Don't laugh at it!"

Tatsuya can't stop snickering at her "Sorry! I really can't stop-" he tries to stop laughing but failed.

After he stops laughing they both went to a bench, Tatsuya combs her hair as (name) feel to relax on it "Hey (name)-chan?" "Hm? What is it, Tatsuya-kun?" He did an inhale and exhale breathing to calm him nerves while combing her (hair color) hair "Did something trigger on your mind earlier than the other one?" (name) reminisces about earlier, a memory that came on her head when she was almost fell on the fountain.

"Yeah, I remember I was playing with boy here in the park and... When I was actually alone at the pond gazing at my own reflection, then this boy actually approached me."

This made Tatsuya stop combing her hair because one of her words were actually the same on the girl they met is actually the same like his and Hiroto, the red haired male couldn't think anything else as he hug her close behind "I'm glad you're remembering little by little..." (name) squeaked with surprised look, she couldn't turn around because her back was close to his chest which that caused her to blush as well "T-Tatsuya-kun...?"

He hugs her closer "Hey, do you remember something else than those?" She shook her head "N-No, w-why did you questioned that to me?" This made him disappointed but Tatsuya is not going to give up yet "How about this quote? Does that ring any bells to you?" (name) somewhat recognized that quote long time ago, she massage her head trying to remember which actually helped her. She remembers clearly, the boys she met were actually Tatsuya and Hiroto.

Hiroto was the one who encourage her playing soccer more, he didn't leave her alone for some reasons and became friends even he thought girls can't play soccer because it's unladylike but (name) was different from them. As for Tatsuya, they meet each other on the same park they are practicing, Tatsuya was only practicing alone until he kicks it accidentally as it landed on her feet and they play soccer for a bit with silly challenges that have a lot of fun. One thing she regrets and forgets is her promise to them.

The (hair color) haired female's eyes started to tears up, she felt so guilty for forgetting them "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Tatsuya hushed her and nuzzled on the crook of her neck "It's alright, (name)-chan. No need to apologize" he whispered many comforting and sweet words to her as (name) couldn't stop crying on her mistake, it happen again just like forgetting Shirou and Atsuya.

Few hours later, Hiroto was waiting outside the campground for Tatsuya and (name) while listening to his playlist songs. As he saw two figures arrive he recognized them quickly "Oi, Tatsuya, (name)!" Two of them heard Hiroto as he approach them and notice her eyes were red as he panicked like he wasn't himself "S-Something wrong, (name)?! Did Tatsuya made you cry?!"

'He's on his softie mode...' [(name) and Tatsuya]

(name) laughs a bit "I'm fine, Hiroto-kun. He didn't make me cry, he actually... made me remember some things" Hiroto paused for a moment hearing the word 'remember' from (name) "Tatsuya, does this mean...?" Tatsuya nods as (name) give him her sweetest smile "Sorry for making you wait, Hiroto-kun. And I'm glad that I was able to reunite with you the first time we meet again."

This made Hiroto have little tears on his pale red eyes and quickly hugged her in a tight embrace "You little silly girl! Don't you dare forget me ever again! I hate it when you can't remember me..." (name) hugs him back and used her other hand to ruffled his hair "That won't happen again, Hiroto-kun. I won't forget you and Tatsuya-kun ever again" Hiroto keep on hugging her he doesn't want to let her go, Tatsuya just stand there smiling at them and he was also happy too.

The next day, everything is still normal. (name) manage her time talking to Shirou, Hiroto, and Tatsuya since they are her childhood friends and they didn't know that yet. "Oi, (name)! Catch!" Hiroto passed her water bottle and (name) caught it in time "Thank you, Hiroto-kun" then Tatsuya wraps her towel around her neck "And here is your towel, (name)-chan" "Why are you two like this now?" She questioned them.

"Why? Because we never see years ago ever since childhood, plus you didn't send us any letter that you're back" (name) was confused what Hiroto said to her "Did I really say that?" Hiroto and Tatsuya sweatdrop on her reply "You really need to remember your childhood a lot, (name)" the (hair color) haired female sweatdrop as well "Y-Yeah, I guess so too" "What just happen to you including your disappearance as well, (name)-chan?"

(name) thought for a moment, as she could only recall an adult around 24 years old who had light blue hair and blue eyes was actually on her side always, and light shining above her at a burning forest and cottage as well, a lot of kids were escaping from the enemy as the adults are helping them. One thing is that she hearing some words on her head.

""

(name) just did a fake smile at them as Hiroto and Tatsuya didn't know she was gripping towel tight like there is something she couldn't tell to anyone which is part of Yoshihiro's past too.

"Maybe... I'm just forgetful today even though it is a old memory."
