don't stare at it too long

Another day of school. Sora hadn't shoved too many belongings into his backpack and was able to make it through the day without anyone being suspicious about it. He was glad no one said anything. He didn't look so good. It was evident in his face that he hadn't gotten much sleep lately. That night at his aunt's wasn't the first time he'd had nightmares like that. Just the first time it was so vivid.

What was wrong then? What had changed? He couldn't understand the voices or the dreams. His fists clenched. It angered him when he didn't understand something. Maybe he should talk to someone? He wouldn't though. Ryouta? All Ryouta would do is say "I don't have any idea what you're talking about but it'll get better!" As nice as his relentless optimism was, it wasn't exactly a cure all. The therapist? Probably would tell him about his Freudian issues. Kira? Ha. Kaede? Haha.

And...that was about the extent of people that could bear his presence. It wasn't exactly a long list of 'friends'. If anything it was just proof of how much of a failure he'd been. He couldn't have regrets now though. But it was still painful.

He wouldn't be going back home. So where did he go? Wasn't there a post on the forum about new living arrangements? He wasn't sure he qualified, but it was worth a shot. Sora made his way out of the school, ready to head out to the area specified on the forum.

His eyes shot to the side. A few kids were in the nearby soccer field playing...no, that wasn't it. He went to get a closer look. A small black haired boy around the age of 6 was in the field, surrounded by a few others who were no undoubtedly from his same grade.

"Look, we don't want to play with you! Let's just leave..."

"P-please don't go. I mean we haven't even...what did I do?"

The small group of kids gave the boy a funny look and started to leave. For one reason or another, there was some collective agreement to ostracize this kid. The himself was pretty despondent. He kicked the ball a few feet across the field, looking at it with a hollow expression. He was all alone.

Sora glanced at the time on his phone. It wasn't very late yet. He had some time.
"Hey," Sora called, walking towards the grade schooler. "You want to play soccer?"

The boy looked up and glanced around a bit, double checking that Sora was addressing him and not someone else.
"Y-yeah I really want to but no one will play with me." The boy didn't speak very loudly.

"Field's free today. I'll play with you if you want. Though I guess it's not much of a game with two people."

"No that's great! Th-thank you Mr.!" The kid's face flooded with excitement. Sora let a small smile creep up on his face.

Yaaaawn. Another day of school. Another day of cooking club. Fun stuff, but not much happened today. A tall girl was laying down on a small set of bleachers, taking a nap. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a group of kids came up and tried to play soccer. Or rather, one kid wanted to play soccer, but got ignored by everyone else. As she got off the bleachers, another older student came down to the field, beating her to the child.

"Hey, kid!~ Mind if I join you and this person at soccer?"
asked Torako, eminiating friendliness.

Flashing back, now?

"You could say that. That, and those kids seem like dicks. Might as well give the kid a self esteem boost after all that."

"R-really?" The boy was ecstatic. Two people wanted to play with him! He didn't care that they were high schoolers. "I wouldn't mind at all!"

"Then let's play soccer." Sora said, giving a smile to the two. Honestly though, Sora had never really played soccer before. He knew you kicked the ball around and tried to get it into a goal, but that was about the extent of his knowledge.

"Um... how should we do this? You're supposed to make teams right? There's only three of us."

And then suddenly Tsukasa was there. "Hey are you playing soccer? Count me in!"
She eyed the three of them. One girl she didn't know, Sora, and some kid. They'd all be perfect masked rangers!

"Hoooo boy."

"Th-that evens us out right?" The boy couldn't really believe what was happening to him. "Um..."

"I'll be on Sora's team and you can be on um...mask...um...green! Mask green's team."

Sora shook his head. "Well, that's decided at least. Let's play then." The boy nodded, running over to Torako with the ball.

"I guess that's how we do it! Come on kid, let's kick their butts!"said Torako, grabbing the ball. "Go long!"

She threw the ball up in the air, and roundhoused it lightly down the field, getting the ball to land at about half field.

Shit. Which goal was theirs? Thankfully Sora didn't need to worry about that as Tsukasa immediately dived on the ball, kicking it as hard as she possibly could toward the other goal in a straight line. Girl had brawn over brains he supposed. Of course, since the ball was just going in a straight line, it was entirely possible the other team would- okay, well the boy didn't block it. He made an attempt to stop the ball but ended up diving too late.

"See? This is the power of a mask ranger!"

"No complaints here."

The boy grinned. These high schoolers were so nice and funny. He didn't care if he wasn't very good at soccer. At least he was having fun.

Torako ran past the diving student, and blocked the ball with the lower part of her torso. She stopped it around her feet.

"Hey kid! Run over to their goal!"

The girl then ran at the ball at a diagonal angle, kicking the ball down the field at the exact opposite angling, past any attempt of interception from the other two.

"So what do we do now?" Sora asked, hoping Tsukasa had some ideas.

"We hit the ball really hard right! The person who hits it the hardest wins the game!"

"...Dude I don't think that's how soccer works."

The kid nodded to Torako, running about as fast as a kid his age could over to Sora and Tsukasa's goal. Tsukasa let out a bestial grow, chasing after the ball with speed of a devil straight out of hell. Sora had a feeling this would end badly.

Torako meanwhile chased down the ball, trying her best to outrun the growling monster who also was doing the same.

"Kick it in!" yelled the girl at the smaller boy.

"Ri-right!" The boy called back, kicking the ball towards the goal. It wasn't the strongest kick, and the ball moved slowly as a result, but it eventually found its way into the opposing team's goal.

"I did it! We got a point!"

"A point!? That was the weakest kick by far!"

"Look Xena," Sora said, slowly approaching the bestial girl, "The goal of the game isn't to kick the ball hard, it's to get the ball into the other team's goal."

"Oh."

"Look I'll go...goalie or whatever, and you try to get the ball in their goal okay?"

"Sounds good!"

A chuckle was elicited from Torako as she heard Sora explaining soccer to Tsukasa.

"At least I'm not the only one who made that mistake." she said, as she ran over to the ball. She picked it up, signalling to the boy again.

"Alright, I'll take the goal. You go on and try to score kid. Let's hope animal girl here doesn't try to murder you." she said.

She swallowed, keeping her eye completely on the ball, as the boy most likely took off for the other net. She breathed in deep. Then out. She focused as much as she could on the ball, then breathed in again. She dropped the ball.

As the ball fell to the ground, Torako decided to try something different. She cast a subtle Tarukaja on herself, kicking the ball straight across the field, right towards the goal line, as the ball rolled slowly towards the net. She punctuated the enhanced kick with a loud-"Yahhh!" pushing the breath out of her lungs.
