Eyeshield 21: Amefuto isn't just for Boys.

1st Down: The Man with the Golden Legs and the Devil

~}i{~

What if some of the characters in Eyeshield 21 where girls instead of boys. And on that major note, THIS IS NOT A FEM!SENA STORY. Honestly, I really hate gender bender stories that involve every male character falling for the character that the author changed into a girl. So I decided to make a gender bender story that isn't like that. I'm going to be following the manga storyline mainly, alright. I did make some major things about some of the characters, other than their gender. Anyway, Enjoy.

~}i{~

""Amefuto is won with… Power… Tactics… and also…"" A short male teen with spiky brown hair and wearing a navy blue uniform sped past pedestrians. The teen skidded to a stop in front of a school called Deimon High, nearly out of breath. ""Speed.""

The brunette looked at a card with an address and a number and looked at the school building. "Sena," shouted a female voice, that got caught the brown haired teen's attention, apparently his name was Sena. A young lady (I am aware of her name, but I am trying to follow the manga and I will reveal the characters names as they do in the manga) in her senior year, wearing a green sweater, blue jeans, a long pink scarf, had autumn pink hair and eyes waved at the boy stating "Over here, over here." Both of them headed to a billboard covered in rows of numbers. The young lady asked Sena what his number was, Sena replied timidly "…021," rather nervously. Sena turned to leave and stated "I defiantly failed! I'm going home!" But the other teen grabbed ahold of Sena's collar before he could take another step, dragged him in front of the billboard, and looked for the number 021. Sena was practically sweating.

Number 021 was on the board, right in-between numbers 020 and 023. "It's there! Number 021 is there!" the young lady stated happily jumped and pointing at the board. Sena couldn't believe his eyes, he dropped his card, and tears of joy streaked down his cheeks "I did it!" The auburn haired girl ruffled Sena's hair and said with glee "Good job Sena! You did well!"

"Ah-! I guess I should be happy now that I'm a 10th grader…" Sena said as he fixed his hair. The young lady next to Sena happily elbowed him in the shoulder and stated "You were a total mess in Math and English though… But Mamori-sensei's favorite!" And then she added "Sena, you're already a high school student." Sena smiled and said "Yeah, ever since grade school." Flashbacks of memories filled Sena's mind, particularly of memories of him and the young lady as young, apparently her name is Mamori, children. One of little Sena sitting on the ground with his backpack on the ground with its contents spilled out and a child version of Mamori next to him chasing away three bullies with a wooden sword. The other memory was little Mamori carrying little Sena on her back. Sena snapped out of his memories when the brunette elbowed him a little too hard when she said "Well aren't you lucky! To be walking around with a beautiful girl you've known since childhood in the same school!" Sena rubbed his arm as Mamori said with a tear in her eye "Sena…" Sena looked at the brunette as she continually repeated the word con, three times. The brunette quickly stated "Oh yeah, I have to take care of something in the school's administration office!" As she headed off towards the school, but before Sena could stop her, she was already gone.

Sena did not notice a shadow peering behind a nearby wall corner. A tall thin young man in his finally years of high school with long, spiky blond hair, pointed ears with two piercings on each one, razor sharp teeth that showed when he grinned, sharp beady eyes, and was wearing a red Amefuto jersey with the number one on it in white. Behind the blonde was a person with a bigger build wearing a red Amefuto jersey with the number 77 in white and was wearing a black amefuto helmet with red wings. The blonde cackled "Hehe… Candidate discovery successful." (1)

Sena looked at the ground and thought 'Mamori-neechan… Why was she crying?' The sound of running caught the newly enrolled high school student's attention. When Sena turned to the sound he saw a blond with pointy features in an Amefuto uniform and a really big person in of Amefuto jersey with the number 77 running towards him. The only thing the brunette did was state "AAAHH! WHAT THE!?" Before Sena knew it he was being tossed in the air by the two Amefuto players. Both of them cheering "Congratulations on your success!" The blonde shouted a Ya~Ha. The bigger bodied teen's amefuto helmet fell off the feeling is very round face and black hair. As Sena was being tossed up and down he thought 'Ah~~~~ This is the first time in my life I've been tossed into the air like this~!' It actually wasn't a bad feeling. The two amefuto players put Sena down. The blonde pulled out a cell phone from his pocket, opened it, and handed it to Sena and said with an eerie smile "Here, go tell the news of your success to your parents." Sena took the cell phone, looked at it quizzically and asked "Um, I can use this too?" The blonde smiled and stated "Of course."

Sena sat down on a nearby bench typing in his home phone on the cell phone and thinking 'It's so nice to have a kind sempai at the school,' completely unaware that the blonde now had a menacing smile and that the bigger bodied teen next to him had a face that said I-can't-believe-were-actually-doing-this. When Sena finished typing in his phone number, he put the cell phone to his ear and said "Mom? Answer the ph…" Before Sena could even finish the sentence the blonde snatched the cell phone out of his hands and him and his cohort raced off, leaving Sena in utter confusion.

The blonde and the black haired amefuto players ran back around the corner they came out of. The bigger build boy panted looking around the corner to make sure that the new student didn't follow while the blonde looked at the cell phone with the numbers still on the screen and stated "Get telephone number…" The blonde quickly pulled out a huge number of flyers and four other cell phones. The blonde quickly typed in numbers on all fours cell phones, each one calling a different takeout place. A Sushi, pizza, bento, and a Chinese delivery. All four takeout places asked for the caller's number, in which the blonde replied the number that was on the cell phone he had given the new student to use. The blonde hung up and toss the cells when two of the take-outs stated thank you immediately and stayed on the line when the other two gave the blog what he needed to know. The blonde quickly wrote in a white notebook and stated in a creepy tone "Name and address retrieved." The tubby amefuto player sweatdropped and muttered "Some people just do terrible things…" Once the blonde was done he stated to the brunette "Hurry up and get ready for the next one, Fatass!" As he pointed at another student who pass the entrance exam. The bigger player quickly said okay, and they both went and did the same thing with that new student.

Later in the day, Mamori walked Sena to his house and was now heading towards hers. She said to Sena as they both waved goodbye to each other "Bye! See you at the opening ceremony." When Sena walked up to his house he noticed that the mailbox was overstuffed with flyers to join the Amefuto club. Sena looked at them wondering who would put them in his mailbox. He carried all the flyers into his home, the moment because the door of the house phone started to ring. Sena somehow managed to answer the phone with all the flyers still in his arms. Apparently whatever was on the other side of the line was the recording of someone saying "Yaha! Amefuto! Power, Speed, Tactics! The Three Things Needed to Be the Strongest in This Battle of a Sport! Come and Be a Part of It! Join Now!" Sena started to cry as the recording repeated itself. Sena practically shouted "AH! Why me~~~!? Sena's mom walked in the door with her arms full of the same flyers and said "It's never-ending…" Outside to shadows, one thin and tall the other round in large, ran from door to door placing flyers in the mailboxes.

The next day. When Sena finished tying his tie he looked in the mirror. The sea green and blue uniform was a size too big for him. Sena listened to Mamori's suggestion to get the uniform in bigger size; she said he would grow into it. "Can't do much about it," Sena thought with a sigh. Sena remembered the cell phone that he left on his desk, so he walked over to grab it and stated "Oh yeah, I have to bring this with me! Had to get one after the trouble with the admission ceremony," remembering the weird incident with the tall blonde teenage boy. As Sena held up the cell phone he stated "Uwa, so adult like," with a smile. The smile disappeared when he realized that he only had Mamori's number in his phone book. As Sena's crestfallen eyes looked at the cell phone he thought 'Well… I have to start somewhere… I only have Mamori-neesan in my phone book for now.' He pressed the button on his cell phone to see what time it was. It was time to start his first day of high school.

As Sena walked to school he ran into Mamori, who said "Sena! Good morning." Mamori noticed that Sena's necktie was crooked. She quickly put her hands on the tie to straighten it out as she said "Hey, let me fix this." The startled Sena a little bit. After Mamori was done with Sena's tie she said "Sena, I want you to mix in with the right people this year." Sena replied, though somewhat nervously "I… I already have friends!" Memories of Sena's years through grade and middle school or that of him running errands and hauling backpacks for the other students. Mamori knew what he was talking about and stated plainly "Those guys aren't your friends. They use you as a button man and a pashiri (2)!" When they got to the front gate entrance of the school Mamori noticed that a lot of clubs were gathering and said "Ahh, well there's a lively gathering," with a smile. She patted Sena on the back, a little too hard, and said "It's time for you to make your move. Go ahead and join the club." Sena frowned and stated "You don't have to tell me, I'm not a kid anymore."

Mamori suddenly remembered something VERY important and quickly stated "But, there is one person you must avoid!" Once she made sure that Sena was listening, she explained "His name is Hiruma, and he is the most devilish human being…! They say when you look into his eyes you will be reduced to nothing but bone." This got the image of a giant bulking monster with evil eyes into Sena's head. He gulped and thought 'Can't… Can't forget this! What was his name again…?!' Then Sena said out loud "Hiruma?" The moment that name left his lips, all the students that just happen to be nearby, were frozen with fear. One of the nearby female students dropped her backpack and shrieked, one student frantically looked around and shouted in a panic "WHERE?! WHERE IS HIRUMA?!" While a male student ran away, covering his ears in a panic shouting "WHERE IS HE?! WHERE?! Sena only watched in confusion as if for now slow and into a panic. Suddenly, one of the students grabbed Sena's arms and cried in a panic "My life is in danger! He is COMING!" Then he raced off screaming. Sena thought that it be a great idea to avoid this Hiruma person.

Inside the school after class has ended. Sena wondered out loud which club he should join. At the moment he was looking at a flyer for the Tea Life Club. An image of Sena in traditional garb taking part of a tea ceremony popped into Sena's head and Mamori standing next to him saying "You're taking part in a tea ceremony? How cute!" Sena frowned and thought 'Neechan would definitely say something like that.' His cell phone suddenly started buzzing, stating that it has received a text. The text read 'Hey boy, pay up the Janken bet. Tell us what you're gonna get it to us.' After Sena finished reading the text he thought 'Just like what Mamori- nee-chan said… Really… I'm not a kid anymore…' As he pressed a button on his cell phone.

Sena went behind the school building and there were three upperclassmen. The brunette male was leaning against the wall, the one with short blonde hair was sitting on a trashcan, and the one with spiked blonde hair that was kind of shaped like the letter W and was wearing red sunglasses was sitting on the floor reading a manga, all three of them were smoking cigarettes (3). The one sitting on the trash bin took his cigarette out of his mouth and said "Sena, did you bring us what we told you to get?" Sena looked like he had the crossed expression of nervousness and fear when he stuttered "Um… That…b..bet…" The three bullies stated one after the other. First, the one with the red sunglasses stated "Huh?" Then, the one sitting on the trashcan and stated "Wha?!" And lastly, the one that was leaning against the wall shouted "WHA?!" Sena was completely terrified when the bully reading the manga stated "You have five minutes." Said the bully that was leaning against the wall stated "Don't be late." The freshman raced off in fear.

Running by everyone he passed in the hallway, only leaving though rushing wind as an indicator that he was there as the thought 'Why_?' The students in the hallway looked in the direction the wind was headed for only a few seconds before the wind rushed in the other direction when Sena raced by thinking 'Why does this always happen to me~~~!?' When Sena got back to the alley he stated plainly to the three "They were sold out…". First, the one with reading the manga stated "Huh?" Then, the one sitting on the trashcan and stated "Wha?!" The brunette bully kicked Sena against the wall and stated "You know what happens next, right?! Then you sure penalty, dumbass." The bully with the red sunglasses dropped his manga and said "They have it in the school store." The blonde bully elbow the brunette bully and stated "Hold on, this isn't the place to do this," he pointed to a storage unit nearby and added "That one down small storage room should do." The three drag Sena to the shack as he practically shouted "AhHhH! I'm telling the truth! It was all sold out! I've been your pashiri since kindergarten! I promise I'll be faster!" The brunette slid the door to the shack open without as much as a glance at Sena.

It was a complete mess inside the shack; papers, bags, and amefuto balls were scattered all over the floor, while the tabletops of the desks that were there were covered with more papers, so a tea kettle, and a TV with some VHSs. Sena saw the black and red helmet and thought 'The Amefuto club…' The blonde toss Sena into a pile of papers while red glasses stated "Heh, so this is the Amefuto club." The brunette tried on a chest protector and a helmet and stated "Yo, check me out." Red glasses chuckled "Haha, suit you well." Unbeknownst to the four in the shack, a rounded student, the one that was tossing Sena into the air the other day (5), was humming happily as he made his way towards the shack. He slid open the door revealing the three bullies falling around with the amefuto gear and Sena sitting on the ground in terror. When the tubby student saw the four, he admitted an aura as he said "You guys… Could it be…?" He pointed to the four and stated "That you guys want to join the club!?" The one with the red sunglasses stated "Huh?" Then, the blonde stated "Wha?!" And lastly, the brunette shouted "WHA?!" The blonde wages hand and stated "Hey, just knock him out. Hit him on the right or something." Red glasses added "C'mon! Tackle him! Give it all you got!" The brunette did so expecting the heavier set student to move. The big guy didn't move.

The brunette tried to push the bigger student over to no avail. The big guy looked at the brunette and said "Huh? Oh, you guys want to do their tryouts now?" Frustrated the blonde and red glasses joined the brunette in the tackling, but to no avail. The big guy still did not move. The big guy smiled happily and said "Ah, you guys want to be linemen! Remember, when you're blocking, you push with the palm of your hand. Like this!" Flames lit up in the big guy's eyes and he practically threw the three bullies out of the shack as he did his demonstration and he said "This is how it's done!" The three bullies landed very awkwardly when they hit the ground. Realizing what he had done, the big guy tried to run to the three and shouted "Hya! Oh no! Are you guys are right?!" The three bullies ditched the amefuto gear and hightailed it. The big guy quite as he gathered up the discarded gear and went back to the shack. "Oh… And that was the first time we had new recruits…" He said sadly. The big guy finally noticed that Sena was still in the club room. That was when the big guy's tears of sadness turned to tears of joy.

The big guy sat Sena into a chair, pushed it up against a dirty table and said "Here You Go. Don't mind these, sit here," easily brushed the garbage off the table with one hand. The big guy walked over to another table that had a kettle and asked Sena "Want Some tea? Coffee?" Sena stuttered an "Oh! No, no. That's okay…!" He slouched and added "Um… You see… I'm not here to be a new recruit…" The big guy was in despair when he placed two cups of tea and two slices of cake and said "Ahh… No… It's okay… I don't mind… I don't mind…Uwaaah… Want some tea…?" Sena was starting to regret saying what he said as he thought 'He's taking this a little too seriously.'

A couple of minutes later, the big guy was back to his usual chipper self as he asked Sena how many sugar cubes he wanted as he was practically pouring the entire sugar cube jar into his cup of tea. Sena answered with an "Ahh… One would be fine." As Sena sipped his tea he looked around the club room and thought 'Sports club, eh? Not for me at all. Seems pretty cool but it's impossible for me… I can't even do dodgeball as a sport.' Sena and the big guy took a bite out of each of their respective cake slices. The big I said "Even after all that, was still left with only two members, and the tryouts are coming up too…" Sena asked "You can't play rugby with only two people?" The big guy quickly corrected set up by saying "You can't just have two people, and it's not rugby, it is Amefuto. You need to have at least 11 people to play a game. When the sports meet comes, we need to have enough members to save the club." The big guy took a VHS out of a drawer and said "Here is a clip of last year's game. What did you'll see that Amefuto is fun!" When the big I hit the play button on the TV, images of men wearing amefuto jerseys tackling each other appeared. A voice from the TV was saying that one of the players was in bad shape and they needed a stretcher. The big guy said happily "Two guys were knocked out cold, but it was only our first loss." Sena nervously sipped his tea thinking there was no way he was ever playing the sport.

The big guy was back in his chair with his head on the table saying "At the rate were moving… The Christmas Bowl is just wishful thinking…" Sena looked at the big guy and asked what the Christmas Bowl was. The big guy happily explained that it was the finals and that the game is only played once a year, every Christmas. "The strongest of all teams clash here! It's fantastic! It's played at the Tokyo Stadium with replays being shown on its Aurora Vision!" Sena was very impressed. The big guy continued to talk about the Christmas Bowl being the ultimate battlefield for war. The big guy happily added "Someday, we will also stand on that field! Wouldn't you agree? Even though we lost our first battle... We will make it back into the tournament! All of us, together! We will definitely clash heads with our opponents! Just thinking about it gets me fired up!" Sena was really moved by the big guy speech. If only there were some way that he could help. That was when Sena noticed a poster stating that the Amefuto club was looking for a team manager. "That sign over there… What does a team manager do?" Sena asked the big guy. He looked at the poster and stated "Huh? A team manager is responsible for scouting and analyzing the opponents' plays. He is also the one that sets games up with other schools. Management is also part of the person's task, as well as executive management to the team itself."

Sena could just picture it now. Him in a business suit, somewhat smoother hair, holding a handheld video recorder and typing on a laptop, analyzing the opposing team. Senate turning his head towards the person next to him, pushing a pair of glasses up from the bridge of his nose, and said "Coach, I discovered a weakness in our opponent's plays." The coach turned to Sena in utter amazement and stated "What?! You see through the enemy already?!" The big guy saying happily "As expected of Sena-kun." The coach was practically crying when he said "We're going to the Christmas Bowl thanks to you." Mamori jumping for joy and saying "You're so cool, Sena-kun." When the fantasy ended, Sena remembered what Mamori told him about him having to do things for himself. Sena spoke up with a "Can I… Can I be your team manager?" The big guy quickly stood up and stated with utter excitement "EH!? Of.. Of course you can!" Then the big guy grabbed Sena by the arms and twirled him around and stated happily "All right! Let's aim towards the Christmas Bowl together!" The two happily chatted as they ate cake and drink.

Later, on his way home, Sena looked at the phone book on his cell phone happily. He had a new number and a new friend. It turns out that the big guy's name was Kurita Ryokan. Perhaps it was a good idea to join the Amefuto Club. The next thing Sena knew was that he just got punched in the face and landed on the ground. When Sena looked up he saw the three bullies from earlier. The blonde stated "We've been waiting for you," and then added "You seem to have gone all chummy with the fat kid. Renraku-sama has two teach his pashiri a lesson. Don't even dare try to run away like last time." Sena was scared, so he meekly said "Ye…Yes…" As he lowered his head. The brunette leisurely waved of baseball bat around and stated "But to use a bat… Will be all right? Isn't it a little too much?" The blonde answered "Well, it's not the best way, since we already have a record with the police." Red glasses just said "Police?" The blonde rubbed his cheek and stated "But if we can find a good reason to use it… Let's just say that fat kid attacked us with that bat. That will put an end to that Amefuto Club." Sena couldn't believe his ears as he remembered Kurita and his passion for the sport. The blonde took the cigarette out of his mouth and said to Sena "Ho, will guide teacher lesson. Don't you dare run." Sena fisted his hand and softly said "No… Never…" The three bullies where surprised that the smaller student spoke back to them as he continued saying "I will never do that for you…" And then he shouted "You can beat me up however you want! But I will never cooperate with you!"

The three bullies looked at one another briefly. Red glasses grabbed Sena, the brunette was taking practice swings in the air with the bat, and the blonde cracked his knuckles and said "Oh well, too bad then. Better find a new body." Sena struggled and thought 'Shit, the definitely gonna beat the crap outta me!' Red glasses spotted Sena's cell phone in his hand and took it saying "What's this? A cell phone?" Red glasses drop Sena and uses his foot to keep Sena back as he tried to get his cell phone back. Red glasses look through the phone and said "Ha! You're hiding a girl's numbering in here!" The blonde looked at Sena's phone and stated "That Kurata guy is also in here. Maybe we should leave the girl a message." That was when Sena snapped. He lunged at the blonde, biting his hand, getting his phone back, and ran away. The runner can hear one of the bullies shouting "HE'S GETTING AWAY!" The blonde told red glasses to head to the station to cut off Sena, while he and the brunette chase after the freshman themselves. Sena kept running through an alleyway and into a very crowded street. The only thing you can say was "Oh shi…No way."

Walking out of a nearby store was a tall thin young man in his finally years of high school with long, spiky blond hair, pointed ears with two piercings on each one, razor sharp teeth that showed when he grinned, sharp beady eyes, and was wearing the same uniform as Sena. Yes, this was the same teen that was tossing Sena in the air the other day with Kurita. The blonde teen with a sharp features noticed Sena, while blowing a bubble with the gum he was chewing, and remember that he was one of the students he was trying to recruit. Sena's mind was going a mile a minute trying to figure out whether or not to lose his pursuers in the crowd or try to find another direction to go in order to head to the station. The blonde and the brunette bullies finally caught sight of Sena. The short brunette looked at the names in his phone book. He knew what he had to do, you can let them get his phone. He spread his legs and bet them a bit. He focused his eyes on the crowd in front of him, he could see the path he needed to take right before him. The brunette bully was almost an arm's length away from Sena. The next thing the two bullies knew was a gust of wind where Sena used to be. Sena raced past the tall blonde teen with the sharp features and he zigzagged through the crowd without running into a single person; although, he did leave a lot of people clueless about where the wind came from. The blonde and the brunette bully tried to make the way through the crowd, but they weren't making much headway. The sharp featured blonde saw the whole thing 'That carry…' Sena continued to run towards the train station. Red glasses stood right in front of their gate in order to block Sena from getting through. As Sena ran towards red glasses, he grabbed his bag, tightened his grip on his cell phone, and practically spun out of red glasses' way, leaving him confused. The sharp featured blonde saw the whole thing as he ran after the kid 'Oh! A spin move!' Sena managed to get into the station ahead of the three bullies. He jumped down the stairs shouting "Heee! I won't make it~~!" On top of the nearby building, the blonde with the sharp features was watching Sena as he ran towards the closing doors of the train, "Not yet… Keep those legs moving!" He said aloud. The doors were closing. The blonde with the sharp features shouted "DIVE!" Sena took a chance and dove through the closing doors, much like an amefuto player diving towards a touchdown. Sena tumbled a bit landing upside down and softly said "Ahahah… Excuse me…" As the patrons on the train stared at him. The three bullies finally got past the gate and ran down the stairs, but the brunette twisted his ankle a bit, which caused him to trip, thus running into the other two bullies, all three tumbled down the stairs, and landed very painfully on the train platform. Through the speakers of the station a young woman said "Please do not run. It is very dangerous." The blonde with the sharp features walked over to the three bullies, sat down on the blonde bully's head, and stated "Touchdown! Ya~~Ha~~!"

The very next day at Deimon High. Kurita was happily talking the blonde teen with the sharp features as they walked towards the Amefuto club house. The blonde was carrying something big in a bag. "Yep! We got a new recruit just yesterday!" Kurita said happily. The pointy eared blonde stated that he found someone too, and with a smile he explained "Well, this guy will be our golden-leg it running back. He so full of energy, I had to make sure he joined." Kurita smiled and said "That's great! I can't wait to meet this guy, Hiruma!" The blonde, Hiruma, smiled taking the bag off his AK-47, opened the club door with his foot, and said "Follow me. I've arranged a meeting." Kurita was confused by this, but when Hiruma started firing his AK-47 into the clubhouse, at Sena, who was tied up, gagged, and was dangling in midair. While firing his gun, Hiruma said calmly "Here he is. Prepare a recruitment form." The only thing Kurita did was shout Sena's name.

Inside the school, Mamori was getting ready to leave. She put her shoes on and after taking a few steps she looked into Sena's shoe cubby and seeing that his shoes were still there meant that he was still in the school building. Mamori left the school thinking 'Maybe he joined a club. That's good then. Even if we don't go home together, I still see him in school. That's right … You're not a child anymore, Sena.'

Sena was now wearing a red amefuto jersey with the number 21 in white with protectors underneath, gloves, amefuto trousers, and a black amefuto helmet with red wings painted on it with a green eye shield. Kurita happily stated "Ooh! Number 21! The eye shield looks cool!" Hiruma stated "Having this kind of look in the game, his hidden talents will rise up." "Game?" Sena said and then added "No, I'm going to be the team manager." Hiruma cocked his AK-47, startling Sena, but it looked like Kurita was used to this kind of behavior. Hiruma rested the butt of his AK-47 on the table next to him and stated "Listen here, during the game, you will not be Kobayakawa Sena. Instead, you will be known as…" And pointed at Sena "Eyedshield 21!" Sena was practically crying when he said "But I want to be the team manager." Hiruma said with an eerie smile "Then you can be both."

~}i{~

Meanwhile in the school. There were posters of three naked guys with their private parts and face covered by the Deimon Devilbats' mascot all over the school. The three bullies saw them, knowing full well that it was them on the posters. Also on the posters were the words in big bold letters, "Don't Touch Him Again or the Bats are Coming Off." The one with the red sunglasses stated "Huh?" Then, the blonde stated "Huuh?!" And lastly, the brunette shouted "Huuuh?!" (5)

~}i{~

The very next day. Mamori and Sena were talking to each other as they headed to Deimon High. Mamori was shocked when Sena told her that he'd joined the Amefuto club. Sena tried to explain that Kurita was actually a really nice person, but Hiruma had to be the worst person on earth. Mamori said in a worried tone "This Amefuto tournament… It's not really for you," and then she stated in a more serious tone "Why is Sena playing such a sport when he is very fragile and weak?" Sena said with a sweatdrop "Don't say such things." Mamori turned to Sena and quickly stated "Listen, I'm a member of the honors society. If something bad happens, tell me right away, okay?" Sena gave a nervous chuckle and said "Don't worry, I'll be alright. I'm not a player, but a manager." Mamori was very relieved when Sena explained that he was only going to be in charge of managing the Amefuto club. "But why are you here so early in the morning?" Mamori asked Sena. He straightened his tie and stated with a smile "Because we have a team meeting."

A little while later. Hiruma, who was already in his Amefuto uniform, was dragging a very tied up Sena, who was also in uniform, out of the Amefuto clubhouse with his fangs showing through his smile and saying "So let's begin the morning practice." Sena was protesting the entire time he was being dragged. Kurita was already on the practice field, tackling on a tackle sled. Kurita said good morning to Hiruma and Sena as they came onto the practice field, not at all fazed by the fact that Sena was tied up. Kurita took his helmet off and said "So far we only have three members since the club was formed. I was so glad; I woke up early even though I usually don't. I woke up and I've been at it since 2 o'clock." Sena wasn't really sure what to say, but Hiruma pointed at Kurita and said nonchalantly "This here is an idiot, an idiot." When Hiruma looked at the tackle sled, he noticed that it was broken and that shouted at Kurita "Idiot! You broke that, didn't you?!" Sena watched the scene and thought 'That's incredible power… It's frightening…' Hiruma's dark aura emitted from him as he kicked the broken tackle sled and stated "Shit. Can't do anything about it now. I'll just get our principle to get us a new one." The expression of oh-my-god-I'm-going-to-die appeared on Sena's face as he thought '… This persons or is even worse!'

While Hiruma was scolding Kurita, Sena looked at the equipment that was already set up for their practice. That was when he noticed a rope ladder on the ground. Kurita saw Sena looking at the rope ladder and explain that it was used were ladder drills and was the basic training to learn the movements of Amefuto. After Kurita was done explaining Sena tried doing the, but realized that he almost joined in the practice without even realizing it when Hiruma stated that they were going to practice the rundown on the latter. Hiruma grabbed the back of Sena has caller and started to drag him, much to Sena's protest. Kurita was stretching his neck when he stated "I guess my back is kind of sore. I'm done after I do the 40 yard dash." (Note: 40 yard dash = 36 meters). Hiruma took out a stopwatch from his pocket and stated "A 40 yard dash… It's been a long time. Okay let's clock the runs." Hiruma tossed the stopwatch to Sena and said to Kurita with a cackle "Show me the results of your morning training." Kurita stated that he couldn't make himself run so fast so soon as he was setting up the red cones for the 40 yard dash. Sena looked at the stopwatch and asked Hiruma how many second does it usually take to run 40 yards. Hiruma explained that for the average players, it's about five seconds. Hiruma also added "You can say the five-second barrier is the difference between an average player and a sprinter," as he watched Kurita set up the cones. Hiruma glanced at Sena and stated "If a high school student can do it in 4.8 seconds, you can go anywhere. High school's fastest guy is named Shin, and his is 4.4 seconds." Kurita was done setting up the cones and was currently standing behind them. Hiruma told Sena to be ready with the stopwatch before stating "Ready… Set…" Hiruma covered his left ear as he shot a bazooka into the air, startling Sena and shaking the entire foundation of the school. That was the signal to go. Kurita started running. Sena click the stop on the stopwatch the moment Kurita passed him. Hiruma walked over to Sena asking what Kurita's time was.

Kurita Ryoukan, 40 yards = 6.5 seconds.

Hiruma immediately got pissed. He started kicking Kurita and shouting "YOU FUCKING FATASS! WHAT MORNING TRAINING ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Kurita stated, while enduring Hiruma's abuse, "Can't help it! I'm already beat!" Sena just watched the whole thing not really sure whether to interfere or not. That was when Hiruma stated, already at the cones for the 40-yard dash, "God dammit! I'll show you how it's done." Sena was surprised that Hiruma was a ready there, but got the stopwatch ready. Hiruma ran the 40-yard dash in 5.1 seconds. Hiruma happily stated that he ran his best time, while Sena only looked at the stopwatch in amazement. Hiruma turned to Sena, indicating that the freshman had one as well. Sena nervously said "I can't… I'll have to pass…" Hiruma was almost nose to nose with Sena when he said "Wha? Wanna run that much?"

Sena was now standing at the start of the 40-yard dash. Hiruma turned to Kurita, who was now holding the stopwatch, and stated: "It's possible to overcome the five-second wall with those legs." Kurita wasn't really sure if he should believe it or not and said that it might be asking too much. Hiruma stated casually "Yeah… Maybe a right. We'll soon find out that." When Hiruma shot off his bazooka, shaking the entire school again, Sena ran the 40-yard dash.

Kobayakawa Sena, 40 yards = 5.0 seconds.

Kurita was amazed that Sena got 5 seconds exactly and Sena was surprised that he actually ran five seconds. Hiruma didn't say anything. A few seconds later Hiruma was on his laptop reading Sena's files out loud "Kobayakawa's physical strength test based on his junior high days was… He placed first only in subject repetition hopping." Sena was shocked and wondered how the heck Hiruma was able to get his files. While opening a bag of doggie treats Hiruma explained that Sena built up his speed by running errands but loses speed quickly in the foot race so he never really breaks any records. Hiruma placed a doggie treat in Sena's jersey, much to the confusion of the freshman. The blonde took a deep breath before he shouted "CEREBEROS!" The sky turned black, a horrendous creature of a dog appeared out of nowhere, and started chasing Sena. Hiruma hit the stopwatch the moment Sena passed the cones. "Ya_Ha_ This guy shows his true colors!" Hiruma shouted pulling Kurita to show him the numbers on stopwatch, 4.20. Hiruma continued by shouting "He broke the high school record! It's the top speed in the NFL! No one can stop that! It's the golden legs!"

Kobayakawa Sena 40 yards = 5.0 seconds, 4.2 seconds (only when Cerberos was running after him)

Kurita shook the nearly unconscious speedster as he said happily "Se..Sena-kun! You shouldn't have to hide this talent." Hiruma stated that they would win the tournament the spring. Kurita noted that the tournament was coming up. Hiruma then stated that they needed to gather more people to help them. Sena could just picture him as the manager of the successful Amefuto team. Kurita asked when the tournament starts. Hiruma stated nonchalantly that the tournament was tomorrow. Both Sena and Kurita stated that it was too soon.

~}i{~

They were now back in the Amefuto club room. Hiruma stood in front of Kurita and Sena, who were sitting in chairs and sipping tea, and stated "We need a people to help us out by tomorrow's game! We're going to split up and gather them." Sena piped up and said "I thought you said there were 11 people in Amefuto…" Hiruma pointed to himself as he said the number nine, then pointed to Kurita and said the number 10, and lastly pointed to Sena and said the number 11. The tea Sena was drinking came out of his nose and mouth the moment Hiruma said that. Sena stated that he refused to play and stated that he was just the manager. Kurita said "Actually, I also wish Sena-kun to be a player with those amazing lags, but I don't want to force you. I'll be happy if you decide to participate in the game tomorrow. So let's do our best together nine people." Hiruma hung up a poster with their names on it and shouted "Each Person – Three People. I Don't Care What You Have To Do. Just Pull out Anybody from the Sports Teams!" Both Kurita and Sena stated it fear "Th-three people! Today?" Hiruma stated calmly "Of course," and then with his pointy teeth showing, he pointed at the two and stated "The guy with the least people gathered is going to do a penalty game." Sena can just picture the devilish upperclassman doing all kinds of torture to him if he should fail.

After Sena and Kurita quickly switched into their school uniforms in order to get to class on time. Hiruma on the other hand, didn't even move as his teammates finally got their blazers on. Sena left the clubroom first and Kurita squeezed through the door next and he closed the door behind him, leaving Hiruma alone in the shed. When the two teens were almost at the door of the school, Sena realized that he didn't have his tie on. "I have to go back to the club room," Sena stated as he turned around and started to head back to the shed. Kurita immediately got scared and asked Sena "W-why do you need to go back? Class is going to start soon." Sena stated that he wasn't going to be long; he just needed to grab his tie and added that it wouldn't take more than a few seconds. Before Kurita could even try to stop Sena, the freshman was already at the shed door. As Sena's hand reached for the sliding door, he wondered why his upperclassman seemed terrified when he said he was heading back to the club shed. Sena slid opened the door, and what he saw made him freeze, both mentally and physically. He couldn't believe his eyes.

Hiruma didn't have his Amefuto jersey on, nor the protectors or undershirt that needed to be worn underneath. But that wasn't what made the speedster freeze. Sena could see that Hiruma was in the motion of taking a black article of clothing off, which was currently over his head and his arms were still in the black clothing. Sena wasn't sure is the devil was glaring at him or not, because Sena was staring at Hiruma's bare chest. The blond upperclassman used the black cloth to cover his chest and was a nice shade of red, Sena wasn't sure if it was from anger or embarrassment. The speedster finally found his voice "Um… I w-was j-just g-going to g-get m-my t-tie…" Sena turned to leave and added "I'll c-come back later." Before Sena could take another step, a hand with sharp nails grabbed the speedster by the collar and dragged him into the shed. The door slid shut. Kurita saw the whole horrific thing from a distance. Tears streamed down his cheeks, not only was Sena dead meat, but they now had to find a tenth person now. Kurita liked Sena and would miss him terribly.

~}i{~

Inside the shed, Sena knew he was going to die, he just knew it. Hiruma was going to kill him for sure. Hiruma tossed Sena into a pile of paper and stated in anger "Oi, Chibi, keep your face to the wall and don't move until I tell you. Disobey and you'll live to regret it." Sena did as he was told; he sat on his knees facing the wall. This was not what he thought would happen when he joined the Amefuto club as manager. Sena noticed a mirror poking out from behind the closet he was near where he was sitting and it was angled so he could easily see the angry blond, but the blond couldn't see the mirror. Well…. Technically he was facing the wall and the mirror just happens to be near the wall Sena was facing, so he wasn't actually disobeying the blond's orders per say. Sena made sure to keep his head still, but his eyes in the mirror. He saw Hiruma remove the black cloth from his chest, reveling what Sena saw earlier. Hiruma, the worst person you can ever meet and was practically called the devil himself had boobs. Turns out the black cloth was a work-out bra. Sena watched as Hiruma's reflection placed the black work-out bra in a duffle bag and pulled out a white work-out bra and the school uniform. Without moving, Sena looked closely at the reflection of the female devil. Yup, Hiruma obviously had breasts, Sena wasn't seeing thing. They weren't big as Mamori-neechan's, not that Sena would be looking at his big sister figure's chest in that way on purpose, but you could tell that Hiruma was clearly a she. Sena guessed with the right clothing and the work-out bras, no one would ever notice that Deimon High's Devil was a she. But this did raise a question.

"Alright, Chibi, you can move," Hiruma stated, now in the school's uniform (for boys btw). Sena slowly turned to the blond and timidly said "S-so… Y-you're… Actually…" Hiruma kicked the wall, barley missing Sena's nose and causing the freshmen to nearly wet himself. Sena shakily looked up at Hiruma, whom had the look of a reaper ready to strike. Hiruma leaned down to the shaky freshman and stated in a voice that could end a life "If you so much as call or even mention me as a 'she', 'her', or a 'girl' I will personally make sure you will never sire any children, got it." With tears of fear and a trembling body, Sena managed to nod.

~}i{~

Kurita was overjoyed when he saw that Sena came out of the shed alive, shaken out of his wits, but alive and in one piece too. Kurita quickly hugged Sena and said to Hiruma, who came out of the shed a few seconds after Sena, "You actually spared him, Hiruma! Thank you!" Hiruma plainly stated "We need his legs, so of course I did," and then added with an evil tone, "Remember what I said, Chibi?" Sena quickly stated "Y-yes sir." Hiruma grinned showing his pointy teeth and walked off. Kurita looked at the shaken teen and said calmly "You know about Hiruma, huh?" Sena sweatdropped. He really shouldn't be surprised by that the bigger player knew, but the fact that he said it so calmly is what really surprised Sena. The speedster's going to ask Kurita about Hiruma's secret another time, possibly after their schedule match. This was definitely not what Sena expected when he joined the Amefuto club. The Devil known as Hiruma was a girl, somehow it was frightening enough to kill someone. *Shutter* Sens wonders if he'll even live long enough to see the first game when they get enough players.
