Different love (Inazuma Eleven Go)

Chapter 3

Katsumi's Pov

After a while, I took care of the wounds on Alex's faces.

"Does your stomach hurt?" I asked Alex.

"Iie. (No.)" She said.

"And chest?" I asked.

"It's fine." Alex replied.

I felt Alex lied about her stomach.

"Alex, you lied about your stomach." I said. "Those girls beat you pretty hard."

She paled and looked away. 

"I won't judge you. Take painkillers 3 times a day for about 5 or 7 days." I said.

"I'm not allowed..." She said.

I sighed. I don't understand Alex.

"So at least during training and matches try to be careful." I said.

"I get abused at home." she said quietly.

I was shocked.

"By who?" I asked.

Alex didn't reply.

"Does anyone know about this?" I asked.

"Nii-san..." She said.

"Does your father beat you and your brother up?" I asked.

Alex paled even more.

"Alex, you can't allow it." I said.

"I can't stop him..." She said.

"Why?" I asked.

"He just won't." Alex said.

"But he is your father and he can't do that." I said.

"He can and he will..." She said.

Alex... I closed the first aid kit. When I wanted to put it down on my bed I knocked down one of the photos from my nightstand. Alex looked at it. Shuuya-nii and me were in the photo. Why didn't I throw this picture? I saw Alex smile.

"It must be nice to be related to him. I know what happened between the both of you but he is still your family." She said.

"Hai... (Yes...) Family..." I said.

"I'm related to one of the Inazuma Eleven as well." Alex said.

"Grant Alex. You are very similar to her." I said.

"I am?" Alex tilted her head to the side.

"Hai. (Yes.)" I said with a little smile.

Alex smiled back. Maybe there is a chance that I will find true friends in Raimon.

Gouenji's Pov

"Onii-chan, aunt and uncle again are working late." Yuuka said to me.

I closed my eyes. Don't they understand that Katsumi feels sad and lonely? How can I help Katsumi if she doesn't want to see me?

*Time Skip*

Katsumi's Pov

I was eating breakfast with my parents.

"I joined the soccer club yesterday. Tomorrow I have my first match. Will you come?" I said.

"We are busy." My Otō-san (dad) said.

As always...

"I understand." I said. "Sorry, but I have to go to school."

I stood up from the table and walked to my room for my bag. I sighed sadly. I took my bag and went downstairs. Then I left the house.
