Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Just a question for you... have you ever heard the story of Raimon's therapy sessions yet? No? Well then, prepare yourself, for I will now tell you the tale of how the Raimon team finally came to accept their issues...
Oh, who am I kidding? Just read for yourself to find out!
~'0'~
''What exactly do you have to say for yourself?!''
''Sangoku, look-''
The keeper cuts the other off furiously. ''No I will not look! I don't care that you think it was justified, and I know you all have issues but this went too far!''
As Nishiki blanches and backs down, Kurama huffs indignantly. ''We do not have issues!'' he protests. ''Well, I don't!''
Sangoku's blazing black eyes turn to the striker. ''Kurama Norihito,'' he hisses venomously, ''using your Sidewinder to call forth an army of snakes because your teammates won't listen to you are in this case classified as issues.''
''He has a point,'' mutters Hamano.
Unfortunately for the midfielder, Sangoku hears it and turns his attention on him. ''Don't even get me started on you! You tied your teammates up with fishing hooks and then threw them in the fishing pond!''
Hamano laughs sheepishly and shrinks back under the keeper's rage. Said keeper glares at him for a moment longer and then focuses on all the teenagers in front of him. Said teenagers are sitting like lost puppies in the middle of the clubroom, Sangoku towering over them in his fury. The club members who managed to avoid his wrath are watching from the sidelines, one of them cackling wickedly throughout the whole ideal.
The keeper glares at all the guilty players. ''I cannot believe all of you! First you had a very stupid and childish argument-''
''It was not stupid!'' protests Kurumada.
Black eyes narrow at him and he shrinks back. ''Kurumada, an argument about that card game they made about us is stupid! It's just a card game for heaven's sake!''
The defender glares right back at him. ''Of course it's important! My cards are the best!''
''Funny joke, Kurumada-senpai,'' snorts Kariya. ''Mine are obviously better!''
''No, mine are!'' protests Nishiki. ''Yours are just-''
''EVERYONE SHUT UP!''
All people present freeze at Sangoku's furious shout and the silence is only broken a certain bystander who is still cackling. The keeper's glare has turned from filled with rage to plain deadly. ''It is just. A. Stupid. Card. Game.'' He says with an icy cool voice. ''It is no excuse for everything you guys did. Kurumada!''
Said defender freezes.
''You used your Dash Train to tackle a tree. Nishiki!'' the mentioned midfielder blanches and smiles weakly. ''You used your Keshin to cut said tree in half. And Kariya, from now on you cannot use your Hunter's Net to trap your teammates!''
The tealhead slumps forward. ''Hai...''
Sangoku glares at all of the players in front of him. ''Furthermore, torturing your slightly sane teammates when they're trapped by Kariya's Hunter's Net and Amagi's Wall of China is forbidden as well. Do you have any idea of all the chaos you caused?
''You flooded the cafeteria! You created an army of snakes! You used your sane teammates as fish bait! You used your hissatsu as weapons! You had a live Keshin fight that did not involve soccer at all! You destroyed the abandoned clubhouse next to the soccer building in a mix of hissatsu, fire, bombs and paint! And not to mention, you made it rain chickens!
''And you dare tell me you don't have issues! Because trust me, you do! You destroyed the cafeteria and the abandoned clubhouse, last week you dyed the principal's office and the surrounding halls in the Raimon colors with glitter spray, the month before you abducted the tennis club and they were found covered in post-it notes in the attic – which is locked 24/7 – because they insulted our club! And you still managed to keep anyone from figuring out you were the culprits!
''But not anymore! I am completely done with your behavior!'' Sangoku's eyes are blazing with fury and the bystanders can swear there are flames rising up behind him. ''While I do not want you guys to be expelled, I will certainly not tolerate this any longer!''
The accused club members flinch, hoping for someone to defend them from the keeper's wrath. ''Sangoku-san, please, it's not that bad...''
''Not that bad?'' hisses the High School student. ''Not that bad?! I cannot believe this- I cannot believe you are part of this, Shindou! You were captain for heaven's sake! And now you blew up three trees while laughing maniacally?!''
The game maker blinks. ''How would you know that? You weren't there...'' he comments in honest confusion.
''I have my ways,'' answers the keeper darkly and the ex-captain shrinks back. ''But yes, it is that bad. So, I have decided that we will do something about your issues.'' Sangoku turns to look at the bystanders, telling them this is meant for them too. They all shrink back, except for the one who is still cackling.
''We are going to meditation classes.''
The stunned silence last for a few seconds before a certain individual starts cackling like mad again. He cackles for thirty seconds straight before calming down and wiping the tears from his eyes. ''San-san, I could drop down on my knees and declare my undying love for you right now.''
Sangoku rolls his eyes but can't help the smile tugging at his lips. ''Glad at least one of us seems to enjoy this.'' Then he turns back to the culprits of the raining chickens. ''And for all of you with issues!'' they jump up in shock at his whipping voice. ''You are all going to therapy!''
Silence reigns in the clubroom for a long moment, before Tenma starts cackling wickedly again at his teammates' indignant and stunned looks.
''But Sangoku-!'' Kurumada starts to protest, but is cut off by the keeper himself.
''Shut up, Kurumada! You are going and you are going to work out your issues! Or so help me, for I will show you why they're calling me the Flaming Rock Keeper!''
''Therapy?!'' Kurama jumps to his feet in anger. ''I am not going to some stupid therapist-''
Sangoku's glare makes him freeze in place. ''You are.''
They hold a staring contest for a few moments but then the snake forward slowly sits down again, scowling darkly. ''I am,'' he spits through gritted teeth. Then he whips his head around to face Tenma. ''And you! Stop your goddamn cackling already!''
The captain's cackling is replaced by a sweet smile that sends shivers down the watchers' spines. He walks forwards from where he was leaning against the wall until he's standing next to Sangoku in front of the culprits of the raining chickens incident. ''Alright. I completely agree with Sangoku-san on this topic,'' he tells his team in a sugary tone. ''So to make sure all of you go, we will have a few new rules... anyone who doesn't follow the outside school classes approved of by me and Sangoku-san, will have their training menu tripled.''
Everyone immediately starts to protest. ''Wha- you can't do that!'' Tsurugi's shout is heard the loudest. ''I am not going to meditation classes!''
Tenma turns to his best friend, still with the sugar smile on his lips. The onlookers can swear there are sparkles and flowers behind him. ''Oh, but I can. You see, I am your captain. So you are going to meditation classes, Kyousuke, if you like it or not. And you are also going to the therapy sessions.''
The forward freezes and then glares murder at the brunet. ''I was not even part of this.''
The captain nods. ''You weren't. But you are certainly classified as someone with issues. For example, two weeks ago you set the chairman's cat on fire.'' His smile widens, if that's even possible, and the sparkles increase. ''And while I personally don't have any problems with that, it is only a small example of the chaos you cause. So yes, you are going to therapy, or I promise you I will get Yuuichi-san to help me.''
Tsurugi freezes for a moment and then glowers at his slightly younger captain. ''Very well,'' he hisses angrily. ''I will go to those stupid sessions!''
Tenma nods, still smiling sweetly. ''Good, good. Very good.'' Then he turns to the rest of his friends. ''I propose that we all go to group therapy, and our more troubled members will go to individual sessions as well. Does anyone have any objections to this?''
His sugary tone keeps them from protesting any longer.
~'0'~
''Alright everyone. My name is Osaki Seiji and I am your group therapist.'' The man smiles kindly at the group of teenagers in front of him. ''Seeing as all of you introduced yourselves already individually, I would like a group introduction.''
The Raimon group shares a few looks, most of them scowling, but their captain ignores it and smiles politely at the man. ''Of course, Osaki-sensei. We all used to be in the same club two years ago, but the then second and third-years have already graduated to High School. However, we are still very close and we are planning on going to the same school again so that we can play together again.'' The therapist nods and the brunet suddenly blinks in realization. ''Ah, we're in the soccer club,'' he quickly adds.
Osaki nods with a smile. ''Yes, you are all quite famous. Raimon, champions for two years in a row already...'' he shuffles through a bunch of papers and nods. ''Alright, what would you say your reason is for being here?''
Sangoku is the one who answers this time. ''We are a group of very... eccentric individuals. Because of this, we clash quite often and we have decided it would be a good idea to work out our issues.''
The doctor nods again. ''Very well. Let's see what will happen, shall we?'' he then faces the group and smiles comfortingly. ''Well, ladies and gentlemen, where would you like to start?''
An innocent question, though he didn't expect almost everyone to suddenly point at Tsurugi...
The doctor sweatdrops. ''Um, alright... let's say, Hayami-kun, why are you pointing at Tsurugi-kun?''
The midfielder looks at the table in front of him nervously as he mutters an answer. ''Because he has issues...''
Everyone nods at this.
Osaki blinks and then shifts his gaze to the person sitting next to Hayami. ''Alright. Hamano-kun, I see you nodding at this. What would you say Tsurugi-kun's issues are?''
''He's a pessimist,'' answers the boy immediately. ''He used to be all dark and gloomy and emo and sometimes he goes back to that phase. He also represses his emotions and blames himself for a lot of things even though it wasn't his fault. And while I'm no professional, I think he has Stockholm syndrome.''
''That about sums it up...'' mutters Kariya under his breath.
Osaki almost drops the pen he is holding in disbelief. For a few moments he doesn't move and the nods slowly. ''Alright... Tsurugi-kun, would you mind answering a few questions for me?''
The navy-haired teen scowls but then nods. ''Of course...'' he hisses.
''Very well. Hamano-kun said you 'used' to have a very negative viewpoint of life. What caused this?''
The angry mood dissipates a little as Tsurugi's scowl disappears slightly, replaced by sadness that only his friends can see. ''My brother was in an accident when he was younger,'' says the forward in a softer tone than before. ''He was pretty much paralyzed from the waist down. After that, I... didn't really know how to handle it.''
Seeing how Tsurugi seems uncomfortable with elaborating, the doctor asks his next question. ''I see. What exactly changed this?''
The forward automatically glances at the person sitting next to him and then drops his gaze again, embarrassed at his reaction. ''Well... this idiot here wouldn't stop bugging me,'' he grumbles as he nods towards Tenma. ''He eventually managed to convince me to...'' he shrugs uncomfortably and doesn't finish his sentence.
Osaki nods again. ''Positive influence, so to say?'' as Kyousuke nods again, the doctor continues. ''Very well. What about this 'Stockholm syndrome' part?''
Tsurugi freezes and then glares at Hamano as he laughs. ''I am not in love with Lalaya!'' he protests furiously.
Tenma next to him places a hand on his shoulder. ''Please, Kyousuke, don't be ashamed. We are here to talk about our issues. You don't have to walk away from them anymore.''
Osaki furiously scribbles something down on his notebook. ''Tsurugi-kun, who is this Lalaya person you talk about?''
The forward glares at him but answers anyway, probably remembering Tenma's threat about training. ''Lalaya was a girl who needed my help a few years ago,'' he spats furiously. ''She didn't know how to get me alone so she took me without my consent. Eventually we became friends because I saw that she was just a girl with a problem and she didn't know how to solve it.''
'''Took you without your consent'?'' repeats Shindou incredulously. ''She send someone to knock you out and replace you! That's called kidnapping, you know! And someone does not simply become friends with their kidnapper!''
Kyousuke scowls. ''Well, at least I'm not bipolar!''
''He's not bipolar,'' Kirino defends his friend. Shindou himself gapes at the implication of the navy-haired boy, who is smirking in satisfaction. That is, until he hears Kirino's next words. ''You're the one who's depressed here.''
Tsurugi glares at him and seems to search for words for a moment. Then he says the first thing that comes to mind. ''You have self-esteem issues because you look like a girl!''
Kirino's mouth falls open. ''I do not!'' he screeches as he jumps to his feet, his face turning red in anger.
''Yes you do,'' says Kariya calmly. Even so, he has a smirk on his face as he watches the fight before him.
The pink-haired defender turns his murderous gaze to the tealhead. ''Well, you- you have multiple personality disorder!'' he sputters out after a moment.
Kariya gasps, offended, and jumps to his feet as well while slamming his hands on the table. ''What! That's not true!''
''Guys... please calm down...'' begs Hayami nervously. Unfortunately for him, that causes everyone's attention to shift to him. And what's even more unfortunate is the fact that everyone starts to get fired up by the argument brewing in front of them.
Without really thinking about it, Kariya points at him. ''Hayami-senpai suffers from anxiety!''
Hamano stands up immediately to defend his friend. ''Shut up! At least he's not a maniac who hunts his friends when he's bored!'' he shouts.
The tealhead responds with equal fierceness. ''Well, you're the one who tries to murder his friends by tying them up and pushing them in a fishing pond so they'll drown!''
Somehow, Kurama believes it's a good idea to join the fight and stands up while pointing at Kariya. ''You're a scaredy-cat who puts up a tough front so that people won't see your insecurities!''
''Stop ganging up on me!'' bristles the tealhead. ''You can communicate with venomous lizards and order them to attack us!'' he retorts as he glares at the older teen.
Osaki is scribbling furiously on his notebook, trying to keep up with everything.
''Guys, stop it!'' orders Tenma, but everyone being as fired up as they are, continue the fight, now pulling the captain in it.
''Tenma's a masochist!'' yells Kurama immediately.
The brunet falters slightly at that, surprised to be caught up in the argument, but his friends don't. ''He's not!'' hisses Tsurugi. ''You're a pessimist! And you can't let go of the past!'' the forward defends his best friend. ''Seriously, Minamisawa-senpai switched schools years ago! Get over it already!''
As the fight continues, Sangoku slowly drops his head in his hands. Osaki, who is sitting next to him, gapes at the other teens and then slowly turns his gaze to the keeper. Said keeper smiles weakly at him. ''Told you we have issues...''
Osaki grabs his phone as the more sane members of Raimon manage to calm their friends down. The doctor deals a number and waits for a few moments before the other picks up.
''Osaki-san? What can I do for you?'' comes the voice of his secretary.
''Chinen-san,'' he starts, ''do I have any appointments after this?''
For a moment it's silent before the other answers. ''No, sir. Your next appointment is in two hours.''
The therapist nods even though the secretary can't see him. ''Thank you very much.'' With that he hangs up and looks at the now calmed down Raimon team. He takes a deep breath. ''Very well everyone. I hope you don't have anything to do after this, because this may take a while.''
~'0'~
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the first of many Raimon therapy sessions began.
~'0'~
And that's that. Crazy Raimon. This is a normal thing in the Accidental Reverse universe.
I do not mean to offend anyone with this, so I apologize if I did.
Well then, would you like me to continue the story of Raimon's therapy sessions? I might do individual sessions next, if I feel up to it or if you guys want me to (if so, tell me which character you would like to read about).
That's everything, I guess. Good evening (where I come from) and any other greeting that is appropriate in the time zone you're in!
