Disclaimer: I don't own Eyeshield 21, as much as I wish I did.

A/N: This is the first Eyeshield 21 fanfic and 2nd fanfic I've ever written. Wish me luck! :D (I'll need it, because I find it difficult to swear...yeah, I know, major problem for Hiruma. I'll try my best though.)


Chapter 1

Training

Sena Kobayakawa was running with Raimon Tarou, or "Monta" to most people, Tetsuo Ishimaru, and Manabu Yukimitsu. These Deimon Devil Bats and their teammates had won the Christmas Bowl against the Teikoku Alexanders, and Sena had lived up to the name of "Eyeshield 21" in that match with Yamato Takeru. Monta had also defeated Honjou Taka, the son of his idol.

At the football field, Kurita Ryoukan, Daikichi Komusubi, and the Huh-huh brothers (Juumonji Kazuki, Kuroki Kouji, and Toganou Shouzou) were practicing their blocks as well. Gen "Musashi" Takekura was working on his kicks right beside them.

While Natsuhiko Taki was there somewhere, being an idiot. (as usual)

But even after they had celebrated this stunning and great victory over Teikoku Gakuen, a certain someone still wouldn't let them slack off in training...

In the Deimon Devil Bats' Clubhouse, Hiruma Youichi, who was known to some as "the spawn of Satan" (or maybe even Satan himself), unwrapped a stick of gum and chewed it thoughtfully while busily typing on his laptop. He was researching all the teams for the spring tournament, and mentally calculated the Devil Bats' chance of winning against the teams in their current state. Then, a devilish idea crossed Hiruma's mind as an equally devilish grin crossed his face. He closed his laptop and walked out the door, bumping into manager Mamori Anezaki on the way out as she was walking in.

"Watch where you're going, damn manager," Hiruma said without turning around. (So painful....)

As usual, Mamori began scolding Hiruma as he walked off, oblivious to the angry words being thrown at him. Suzuna Taki, who was right beside Mamori, grinned and said, "You two fight like a married couple." Her antennae-like hair was going crazy pointing at Mamori.

Which of course, then prompted another flustered and angry Mamori denying any romantic relations between herself and Hiruma.

Yes, it was another typical day for the Devil Bats.

Until Hiruma arrived at the football field right as the team members were taking a break from their blocking, kicking and...idiocy? Sena and company had just arrived from their running too.

"Alright, listen up brats. We're going to start a new training program. It's called 'Training in Dangerous Parts of the World.' Anyone want to guess where we'll be training?" Hiruma finished with his evil cackle.

"Training in Dangerous Parts of the World...are we training in dangerous parts of the world?" Taki volunteered with his signature grin.

Everyone, except maybe Musashi, looked at Hiruma in disbelief. One would think that after going on the Death March and enduring so much under Hiruma, these kind of crazy schemes would seem like second nature. But not this. This was dangerous, hence the clever name of their training plan. What was Hiruma thinking? The world may never know...

***

The next day, everyone was packed and ready for their training...trip around the world. The bus came at what felt like the crack of dawn, 5 A.M., yet Hiruma seemed as awake as ever with his machine gun in one hand and his bag in another. He was randomly shooting people if they were walking to slow or if they started to nod off. "Keke, if we're late then I'm having you all run laps around the top of Mount Fuji - after you climb up there! I told you damn brats to get here earlier so we could get there early! Oh, I forgot to mention Mount Fuji is our first destination."

And then Hiruma proceeded to run around kicking people at will. Which was mainly the really slow/tired people. Mamori, of course, was running around organizing everything so she didn't exactly have the time to yell at Hiruma (not that it would have stopped him anyways) and Suzuna also tagged along because of Taki (God knows what kind of trouble he'll get into).

It only got worse on the bus, as Monta fought with others for the seat next to Mamori. Sena was across the aisle, panicking about what they would have to do. He could already imagine the horror, the pain, and the suffering Hiruma would put them through. With his evil ideas and...well, his machine guns, I guess.

Still, before long, almost everyone fell asleep. Mainly due to their lack of sleep from last night and the early time they were forced out of bed.

Yukimitsu, though, had actually managed to fit the average amount of sleep that a high schooler should receive and as a result, was one of the few people still awake. He worked up the courage to ask, "Um, Hiruma-san, uh, are we really going to, well, uh, do this? I-I mean, you know, it just seems really dangerous and everything, so, um, I was hoping that you were just kidding?"

As soon as he finished his last 8 words, a devilish grin broke out on Hiruma's face.

"Kekeke, I never kid around, baldy! Now don't complain or I'll have you do twice as much as everyone else!" Hiruma cackled evilly.

And Yukimitsu didn't say another word to Hiruma after that, even though Mamori scolded Hiruma about being mean to people.

A few hours later, they arrived at Mount Fuji.

"Well, brats, here we begin! YA-HA!"


A/N: Eheh, sorry about the short chapter. I actually started working on this quite some time ago and recently noticed it. Because I haven't really been online much. But anyways, read & review!...Please? Yay! Thanks :]
