The boys of Fall

A/n: Inspired by Boys of Fall by Kenny Chesney and DevilDog Game at our school.

The halls were decorated with papers of various things, each of them yelling out encouragement to the football team. It was their last game of the season. Most of the team wasn't going to be there the next school year, which caused their hearts to sink a little.

Friday rolled around with the tension in the air, their bodies stiff from the anticipation for that night. At the end of the day, the school held their last pep rally for the football season that year, most of them cheering on the team while some were just hating the school.

"Come on! Let's get the win!" Their captain yelled in the locker room, his pads and uniform on.

Everyone looked up from the yelling to look at their blue haired and skinned senior as he stood in front of them with his helmet tucked under his arm.

"What are we here to do tonight?" Kisame yelled his question as he raised his crimson helmet into the air.

"Win!" Everyone else yelled as they got finished putting on the last items of the crimson cloth with ebony lettering.

"What?" He asked.

"Win!"

As he spoke it, one turned his attention to a younger boy as he sat on a bench with his helmet on his lap, staring at it.

"Sasuke, good luck tonight. I got a feeling that Deidara will get hurt." The man said as a smirk graced his lips quickly.

"I will not un. If the person is going to get hurt, it'll be you, Tobi, or someone else." Deidara hissed as he pushed his hair back, pinning it into the helmet. He wished he didn't grow his hair out but it was his adoptive mother's wishes.

"Sure." Itachi said as he turned back to focus on his younger brother.

"I know captains usually give speeches on a night like this. Since this is our last game in high school, we need to put our hearts into it and make our path into Akatsuki High history. I know some come back next year but we won't. You guys carry on the torch to continue this football team. You guys will always be Akatsuki wolves! We will always be Akatsuki wolves in our hearts." Kisame said as he look at his teammates.

"Let's go win this!" Deidara yelled.

They ran out of the room and onto the field with the supportive side screaming at them.

They weren't like regular football players. They didn't treat others like dirt; they helped with the community. They were perfect citizens. Now they were in their biggest game of the year against their rivals.

Plays flew with some connecting while others failed. The clock continued to dwindle down until it hit halftime. By that time, the score was 14-14.

"Good job, now let's show those eagles what wolves can do to them!" Kisame said with another little speech to keep hopes high.

They walked out, only to do more plays that their couch told them to do.

It was two minutes left on the board, the score still 14-14. The wolves had the last possession of the game. After saying the run, Kisame threw it to Tobi who caught it. Like a bat out of hell, he ran into the in-zone.

He threw the football down with it coming back to hit him in the chin. As he ignored the pain, he ran around on the in-zone.

Itachi smirked as he lined up with the ball to kick the extra point as the clock was in the last seconds. As he ran up to the ball, he brought his foot to it, kicking the ball. It went through the poles, scoring the extra point.

Defense came in, blocking the eagle's offense as they tried to get the time down low enough that it would just continue to go down.

Then a buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the game. The whole team came on the green field, tossing Sasuke up and down for no reason – because he was the lightest.

A/n: We didn't win our DevilDog game. Figures but I got a feeling it's gonna change soon.
