FOOTBALL. The factors that control the battle are POWER! STRATEGY! and...

SPEED!

As Sena walked down the stairs, she raked her fingers through her unruly brown hair pulling it into a low ponytail. Checking her watch as she stepped out her front door, Sena saw that if she ran she'd make it on time. Turning in the right direction she took off, a dust trail in her wake.

Stopping with a screech, Sena stood before the entrance to Deimon High. Looking back the way she came then around, she spotted Mamori over by the bulliten wall.

"Sena, over here!" Mamori shouted, waving her arm, causing her scarf to sway at her sides. Walking over, Sena told Mamori she was postive she made it as they searched for her name on the wall.

"There it is! Theres Sena Kobayakawa!" Mamori pointed at the name, jumping for joy as Sena stood speechless with a smile speading across her face.

"Well, well Sena's going to be my underclassmen. I'm so glad for you. Oh wait right here, I'll go get your Information Packet" Rushing off before Sena could speak a word.

Suddenly a dark aura appeared behind Sena, before she could think she was tossed into the air. There was a shout of Congratulations

'wow this is so cool' she thought as the people who had lifted her set her down.

Looking up she saw a gorgeous blonde with green eyes smile kindly at her.

"Hey! Call your parents to tell them you got in!" the blonde said as he held out a cellphone to her.

"Are you sure it's ok for me to use this?" Sena asked as she shifted the phone in her hands.

"Sure."

'cool, this place has nice upperclassmen' Sena thought not noticing the evil smirk the blonde was wearing. "Uh, Aunt Mihae? I pass-" the phone was yanked from her hands, the blonde and his friend running off. 'that was weird?'

+several hours later+

Sena waved goodbye to Mamori. Passing through the gate, she noticed that the mailbox was full. Nearly 50 flyers for the football team.

Carring them inside, she heard the phone ring. Picking it up while still holding the flyers, she heard a lond voice. "YA-HA! JOIN THE FOOTBALL TEAM! POWER, SPEED, AND STRATEGY! THE TRIPLE FOUNDATION OF THE ULTIMATE BATTLE SPORT! GO OUT FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM! JOIN US, DARN IT!"

Hanging up the phone, Sena rushed up the stairs to her room so as not to answer the phone should they call again. Which they did, as well as stuff more flyers into the mailbox.

"There's more." Sena's aunt said as she handed the other flyers over.

"What's going on!?" Sena cried as she was almost buried underneath it all.

+the next day+

Sena stood before the bathroom mirror, looking at herself in her new Deimon High uniform. The baggy coat reached passed her waist, the sleeves touched the tops of her hands.

'"I'm sure you'll grow into it, so I got you the bigger size" Mamori had said. what was she thinking?'

"oh! I almost forgot my cell. After all, it is a present for making it into this school." she held it up with a smile, "I feel so mature." Playing with her new cell, Sena looked at the two names in the contact list. Mamori and Mei. 'i need some friends' she sighed.

It was still a little early when she left, so Sena met Mamori on the way. Mamori was on the disciplinary commitee, so she would be staying after school.

"Sena, this time you've gotta make some friends." Mamori glanced over to the shorter girl, "and not let people use you as a gopher again." Looking ahead toward the entrance, she spotted older students handing out flyers for activities. "Hey! Why don't you join a club? You can't be so passive." her cheery tone making Sena uneasy, "If you join one, you'll even get to talk to upperclassmen."

"I'm not a little kid, you know." she mumbled to herself after sighing. Sena wondered when Mamori would stop trying to get her a boyfriend to protect her 'the only reason a boy would date me, is so he could boss me around without getting in trouble.'

"Oh, but there is this one guy!" She said stopping their progress to school, "You shouldn't get mixed with him for sure!"

"His name is Hiruma," an ominous feeling came over Sena, "Really, he's such a demonic guy that once he sets his sights on you he'll suck you dry to the bone before he's through."

'I better remember that name' "What was his name? Hiruma?" Sena spoke loudly causing the students around them to panic.

thump

"NOOOOO!" someone shreiked. "P-please, you gotta help me. He's coming." a boy muttered as he tried to latch on to Sena. She manuvered out of his reach and ran to class, wishing she hadn't had that conversation with Mamori.

+after the last class+

Even though Sena was a girl, most bullies would always treat her like their own slave boy. Free to punish as they see fit. Like now, three boys from her class had her go buy them sweet rolls. Using her speed, Sena ran there and back, informing them that the school store was sold out.

They didn't believe her, so they dragged Sena out to a run down shed behind the building. 'why does this always happen?' she thought as the door was thrown open. There inside was a helmet and jersey. 'this must be the football team's clubhouse' Sena was tossed to the floor, while one of them put on the players uniform.

rattle

The door opened, there was a huge guy standing in the doorway.

The guy got a startled look on his face and asked, "Are you here for the football team tryouts!?"

"huh?"

"Huh!?"

"HUH!?"

The boy in the football jersey tried to tackle the big guy, but he didn't even flinch. So the other two tried with him, while the big guy just smiled. He flung all three out the door causing them to skid into the wall. Worried, he rushed over to see if they were ok, but they ran off.

Walking back inside, he spotted Sena. She was still there, though now she was leaning against the desk instead of on the floor. Crying happily, he offered Sena a seat and tea. "Um, I'm not here to try out," seeing the look upon her savior's face she added, "I don't think girls are even aloud to play football." Sena wished she hadn't just said something so sexist.

'what stupidity, there's nothing that says a girl can't play on a team with boys unless theres a girls team as well.'

The boy looked up in surprise, "You're a girl?" causing her eye to twitch, "Oh, I meant no offence. Just that you are wearing the boys uniform, I just thought.."

"It's ok. I feel more comfortable in this than a skirt." smiling as she waved off his apology.

They sat there having tea and sweets while watching a game from last year. One of the players had got hurt and had to be carried off. The boy, introduced as Kurita, said he had only fainted and that their team lost in the end. Kurita then explained about the Christmas Bowl, and when asked he told Sena what a team manager does as well.

"Maybe I could be team manager?" She asked, only to be answered with a loud, "Of course!" Kurita swung Sena around laughing joyously.

Walking home later,Sena looked at her cell, to now see three names in it. She was glad she had a nice new friend.

slap

Sena's head was forced to the right, turning her head back she saw the three from before.

To be continued. It was brought to my attention there some inconsistances with the plot, meaning it would sound great now but in later chapters would just make a huge mess, so here is me trying to make sense of the minefield that is this story's plot. please just bear with me and FUBAR that is my mind at the moment.
