3RD PERSON POV
Kaichi quickly attempted to rush past Rin but was soon stopped as her attempt failed. "Something's off about you Itoshi, and I can't tell if I like it or not." She teased, that made Rin frustrated and he toughened his defense around her.
She quickly ran around him and beat him to his own spot as she still had the ball on her foot before turning and punting it off into the air. The ball quickly went into Shidou's possession and he ran off with it. He giggled like a little school girl which made Kaichi cringe at that, never will she want to play with him again.
As the ball came closer to the BLLK11 goal the red haired guy managed to take it back. Everyone came running back as the clock hit 2 minutes, Kaichi was yet again in another 1 on 1 with the younger Itoshi, as both of them went at it she felt something, or someone's foot hit her ankle and heard a quiet 'crack!' like noise.
As Rin finally got speed advantage Kaichi struggled to get up. She was hunched over on the field trying to ignore the burning pain in her ankle, as she saw that the red haired guy had the ball she had to do something.
'No no no no NO! I won't let it end like this, I'll keep my word, I'll win!' She thought to herself before she sprinted off after the ball. Passing players after player she managed to get right behind him. "Chigiri watch your back!" Isagi yelled out. But it was too late, with one final dash and a successful slide tackle to retrieve the ball, she managed to steal it back.
She sprinted over to the other side as the clock hit the 30 second mark. Her ankle was burning and felt like it could fall off at any moment. The crowd was loud as she went over to the other goal. She ran as everyone could barely catch up, right when she was near the penalty area something felt off. Like she wasn't supposed to score it and let U20 win.
"That's because you're not supposed to, Kaichi." that was weird, no one said that yet she heard someone say it. "You're not supposed to be here, you weren't even supposed to score at all." She was getting provoked by the voice and neared the goal. Suddenly in a few seconds something flashed, like the saying of how your life flashes before your eyes.
As she saw what happened in the vision she quickly aimed for the post of the goal and hit it. 15 seconds remained on the clock and Isagi got the ball. As everyone ran back she stood there and breathed heavily as she watched Rin attempt to score but hit the pull causing Isagi to score the game winning goal.
She looked at the scoreboard brightly showing the final score being 4-5. Kaichi breathed out one final breath as she saw the other team cheering about there victory. She could've tried harder, but something was stopping her.
She looked up at the VIP stands where her dad was, she saw her oldest brother and him standing there looking amused about the score. Just looking at them reminds her of how she once wanted to be just like them when she was younger.

Kaichi sat on the shoulders of a former teammate of Saito. Her eyes sparkling like stars seeing her dad play up front. His old teammate who goes by Zero, smiled up at her little reaction to her dad playing up front. "Soccers really cool Chi, you should consider playing." He said to her happily.
Kaichi nodded happily, but then she remembered her mom. "But mommy said that I should play volleyball, and that I'm really good at it!" She said as she smiled down at Zero. He sighed happily and smiled back at her. "Do whatever makes you happy, little Chi."
Kaichi continued to watch her dad play as he was in possession of the ball. Running to the other side he scored a goal making her cheer with joy. "Uncle look, daddy scored! He's so cool!" She said with admiration. Zero chuckled at her antics and watched as Saito looked at him and nodded.
"I've decided, I wanna be like daddy when I grow up!" Kaichi said. "Oh? What about playing volleyball, Chi?" Zero asked before setting her down onto the floor. "I can do both! But I wanna play soccer just like daddy and score really awesome goals like that!" She said happily as she jumped up and down in joy. Zero looked at the score seeing it being 1-0 then back at Kaichi.
"If you want to play soccer you need to gain muscle little Chi. When you grow up you'll be playing against big girls." Zero explained to her. She stopped jumping and made a thinking look on her face before shaking her head. "I don't wanna play against big girls! I wanna play against big guys like how daddy does!" She said. Zero deadpanned before sweat dropping at her.
"Little Chi, you have to be a boy to play against people like them..." he said sheepishly as he pointed out at the field. Kaichi had a shocked expression on her face before she started throwing a fit about how it wasn't fair. They ended up having to leave the stadium due to noise complaints.

She hid her disappointment inside of her and didn't speak up about it, she looked over at Rin seeing his hopes get shattered by Sae, once seeing him walking away she put her cleat on his back. "Wow Itoshi, I never knew you could have feelings like that." She said in a monotone voice.
"Go away Hito." Rin said without looking at her. She looked down at him seeing small tears pricking at the corner of his eyes. She then removed her foot from his back and crouched in front of him and made him look at her. She blinked before having a small smile on her face. "Maybe we're more alike than I thought." She said before getting up and leaving.
The small smile vanishing from her face as Rin watched her walk away from him, she was soon stopped by a cheerful voice from behind. "Kaichi!" Kai called out, she stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Kai. Her red eyes met blue ones once again as they stared at each other. He then put his hand out for her to shake. "Good game?" He said, she stared at the hand before smacking it away.
"I don't do hand shakes, I liked it more when you're not at home." She said before leaving the field. Once she made it into the locker room she was jumped on by Shidou, shocked from the impact the fell on the floor as Shidou rubbed his cheek onto hers. "You did so good! I didn't imagine you to be this good vampy!" Shidou said excitedly to her. She managed to push him off before getting up.
"Same goes for you, antenna freak." She back handily complimented back. All he did was grin at her before getting off and leaving with all of his stuff with him. The only people left in the locker room were her and Sae, he was grabbing his stuff to put back as she opened her locker to put her stuff back as well. The tension in the room was awkward and she didn't like it one bit, she hoped he would try and spark a conversation of some sort so she could get rid of the awkwardness.
"You were alright this game." Sae said barely above a mumble. Kaichi's head whipped over to his direction as she stared at him confused. "Hm? Did you say something Itoshi?" She asked as he was looking away from her. "Nothing." He replied back. He quickly grabbed his stuff and left the locker room in a hurry.
She stared at the door for a couple of seconds before grabbing her stuff and jacket. She laid the jacket out and stared at it, on the right sleeve it her usual jersey number on it which was inside of a circular logo.
The front showed her club name and the back had Hito in big bold Korean letters. She put the jacket on before grabbing her bag and putting it over here shoulder. She quickly walked out of the locker room and tried to find her way out of the stadium. Once she found her way out of it she saw three figured with familiar similarities on their faces.
Her dad and oldest brother Kross were congratulating Kai on his win against the U20 team. When they heard Kaichi's footsteps the conversation stopped as all three of them turned and looked at her.
She gulped and was already expecting the worse to be told to her, after all that's just how the Hito's are.
