Not Alone
WHOA! This is my third fanfic. I noticed that my first two stories are a little mess so, for the third time, I will really really try my best to avoid any mistakes. I hope that I will get some reviews okay! By the way, check out my blog (see my profile) there you can see a lot of entries about life, animes, poems and this coming Feb 14 I will post my first ever HruMamo AMV – my special presentation for valentines and for all HiruMamo fans - so I hope that you will give some comments…
Eyeshield 21 is owned by the fans :) I wonder how Hiruma and Mamori knew each other so this is the result of my brainstorming. Warning: this is very long and please have patience, I really need your reviews…
Note: In their first year, Hiruma's reputation is not yet acknowledged in Deimon High School.
The bell rang and it echoed in the ground of Deimon High School. Mamori - as a first year - heard the loud rang and she's still on the road. She ran as fast as she can but her legs are not used in running.
"I can't believe that I'm late" Mamori thought, "I will never watch that soap opera again, but Jeong Ji-Hoon and Song Hye Kyo are so cute together".
She arrived breathless near the school gate but it is already closed. "Oh my! Now my correspondence will have a mark for late and get a one-day community service".
She heard footsteps and she knew that another student is arriving. "At least I'm not alone". But she doesn't need to look closely to recognize who he is.
"Oi! Are you late fucking classmate". With that unusual greeting she is very sure that her day is really bad.
"Would you please refrain from calling me names I am Anezaki Mamori, and besides it's not that I am late – we are late". She irritably spoke, emphasizing the word 'we' and pulled her eyes to see if the gate is going to open.
"Oh… Is that so fucking classmate?" Hiruma obviously didn't listen to her words earlier.
"Hi-Hiruma-kun, will you be at least try to give respect to a girl" She insisted and her eyes caught Hiruma walking away from her. "Hey! Where are you going? Don't tell me you are going to cut the class?"
"Of course I'm not. I have a lot of business to do inside this school". Hiruma – like a lion looking for its prey – is searching something on the walls of Deimon high school gate. He knocked and observed the walls.
"What are you doing?" Mamori asked.
"Isn't it fucking obvious? I'm looking for a better way to enter other than the fucking gate!" Hiruma suddenly stopped in front of the wall that is short unlike the others. "Come 'on!" he called the attention of the girl who trembles in his idea.
"That is not right Hiruma-kun". Mamori told him.
"Who said so? If I were you, I will accept my offer. I heard that the students who arrive late will get penalty more than the fucking community service." Hiruma said plainly.
"And what is it?" Mamori asked as she saw Hiruma climbed perfectly on that wall.
"I fucking don't know. And if I do, I'm not going to tell you". Hiruma mischievously stated while he is preparing to land to the other side of the wall. "See you later, fucking classmate". And Hiruma landed safely on the school grounds. Mamori was left astonished not because that she was afraid about the punishment but because of the fact that she is alone. It's almost fifteen minutes passed and there are no other students arriving. Without a second thought, she rushed to the wall were Hiruma entered.
"Hiruma-kun? Are you still there?" Mamori yelled in a way where only Hiruma can hear. It's not yet even a minute passed after he went inside, she thought. She repeated her call and finally Hiruma answered.
"What is it fucking classmate?" Hiruma growled back.
"Umm… Ano", Mamori it's not time to be irritated I need his help "Can you please help me, I think no one else is coming.
"Kekekeke, then climb." the only response she received from Hiruma. Mamori hesitated because she can't climb it. Unlike Hiruma who is taller than her, she can't reach the top of the wall.
"Hi-Hiruma-kun, I can't reach the top". She exclaimed.
"Nah! I told you earlier to climb before me right?" Hiruma felt irritated but his eyes surveyed the area and found a perfect one. "Hey! Fucking classmate, go here. May be you can manage to climb here". He threw a piece of small bough and Mamori saw the spot he is referring to.
"Okay! But it is filled with vines and tree branches". Mamori observed and concluded that the branches might hurt her.
"Will you fucking stop complaining? Throw me your bag". Hiruma will soon reach his temper but he knows that it might be dangerous to his fucking classmate.
"Okay!" Mamori complied and threw her bag to Hiruma.
"AWWW!" Hiruma exclaimed.
"Ooops sorry!"
"At least try to warn me, that fucking hurts".
"I'm sorry okay!"
"Fine! Fucking climb already". Hiruma is brushing his face with his hand while Mamori managed to climb. The problem is the tree branch that nestled on her way and because of that her landing might not be that good. Hiruma already saw her fighting her grip on the wall but their noise earlier reached the ear of the school officer and went to their place.
"Hey! Hold it right there?" the school officer scolded. The two snapped their heads on the school officer and Mamori felt anxious that she almost loose her grip on the wall. Hiruma suddenly rushed to that wall and maybe because of the adrenalin rush, within matter of seconds he managed to hold Mamori's arm. He pulled her up and held her close to his chest. But that moment didn't last because of Hiruma's weight, the thin branch that supports his feet suddenly broke. Hiruma with Mamori on his chest fell inside the school ground.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" a loud scream was heard across the school. The school officer, who saw it all, rushed to the place where Hiruma and Mamori landed. Behind the bush he saw Hiruma holding Mamori close to his chest – protecting her from any danger – while Mamori is on top of Hiruma. "Hey you two wait here okay, I'll call for a help" the school officer spoke and rushed to the clinic. After the words of the school officer, Mamori moved and opened her eyes. She found herself safe, with slight bruise but safe. Hiruma remained his eyes closed.
"Hiruma-kun, are you okay?"Mamori softly spoke while shaking the arms of Hiruma.
"Hiruma-kun, Hiruma-kun" she repeated but still there were no response. Suddenly, Mamori's eyes got watery and her heart beat faster than the usual. Her sniffs and call made Hiruma finally open his eyes.
"Is he gone?" Hiruma asked.
"Y-yes he is. Are you okay? Do you have any broken bones?" Mamori asked with full of concern.
"Well, I guess I'm fucking fine". Hiruma answered looking intently to the worried face of Mamori. Not that long enough, they noticed their position that seems like indecent to the eyes of the strangers. Abruptly, Mamori stood up and fixing her uniform, clearly she can't hide her tomato face. And Hiruma, on the other hand, stood up from the ground. He dusted his pants and he suddenly yelled.
"Aaww!" Hiruma noticed that his elbow is injured, there is a blood on it and scrapes of skin is visible. This made him catch Mamori's attention.
"Oh! Hiruma-kun, let's go the clinic." Mamori suggested now with a growing worry on her face.
"Nah! It's just a fucking scratch. This thing can't kill me." Hiruma's response and he threw the girl's bag back to its owner.
"Ah!" Mamori caught it but still the sign of worry can be read on her face.
"We're fucking late, fucking classmate". Hiruma jerked, sensing that the girl is really worried about him.
"Hiruma-kun, my name is Anezaki Mamori". Mamori interjected but the boy acted as deaf and started to walk away from her. He tugged his hand inside his pants pocket so thus Mamori can clearly see his injured elbow. An idea suddenly popped inside her head and she ran behind the blonde guy. Hiruma felt something and he is not mistaken.
"What are you doing idiot?" Hiruma's annoyed grunt.
"Well at least try to cover your wound Hiruma-kun. As you see, it's bleeding and it might get infected if you ignored it." Mamori said with motherly care. The two of them stopped under the shade of a big tree and Hiruma – without having a reason why – let his classmate cover his wounded elbow with her light pink handkerchief. While Mamor is fixing the cloth in its place, the wind blew which made her short hair danced on her face. Hiruma shifted his eyes and started to poke some taunts.
"Isn't it done yet? I thought I told you that I'm fine". Hiruma said in a husky voice.
"I know you're not. It is obvious that you are hurt and besides, it's my fault after all. Let's say that this is my way of saying thank you and sorry." With that Mamori smiled – her angelic smile that left Hiruma breathless. But before Hiruma could do anything, the school officer once again appeared and scolded them about the incident earlier.
One week after…
Hiruma and Mamori are working on the community service as their penalty. Mamori diligently watering the plants while the other students do their own task and Hiruma – who is not yet carrying any ammunitions or rifles – is sitting under the shade of tree and busy on his own world, the very same tree where Mamori covered his wound. There were no other students who dare to approach him because of his personality except for one person we all know.
"Hiruma-kun, you should clean the yard. You know that it's your duty". Mamori scolded.
"Huh? Who the fuck are you to order me around? You act like those fucking discipline committee members." Hiruma didn't bother about Mamori's presence; he continued to draw on the pieces of paper.
"Yeah, I like to join in the disciplinary committee but they said that I have to wait for next year". Mamori proudly informed Hiruma.
"Oh really? Well, that should be embarrassing for that fucking committee because a "late comer" like you will join. Added to that is you're here and getting punishment". Hiruma mocked and placed an evil aura surrounding Mamori. Without fail, he was rewarded by Mamori's red face.
"Uh-urgh! You – you are so mean!" Mamori annoyed but kept her finesse. The heat and friction between their argument was cooled by the soft breeze that passed and Mamori smiled.
"Oi!" Hiruma called the attention of the girl and Mamori looked into the sitting statue of Hiruma as he continued "I'm not going to give back that fucking handkerchief of yours. I dumped it already, so don't search for it". Hiruma calmly said.
"Oh, it's okay. Don't mind about it. In fact, you helped me after all. And we ended up here because of my clumsiness. At least, I know that I'm not alone". Mamori spoke without looking at Hiruma who apparently staring at her for the whole time. A noise from the whistle caught their attention.
"Neh, Hiruma-kun, I think it's time for us to go. You're done already right?" Mamori asked.
"Of course!" Hiruma stood up and boasted. Mamori saw their other school mates who were threatened by Hiruma that forced them to complete his task. Mamori felt sorry for those victims.
"Kay! see you later." Mamori bid her simple farewell and headed to the disciplinary committee. Meanwhile, Hiruma watched her go and smirked.
"Never alone huh?" he pulled a pink handkerchief from his pocket. It is clean with no stain of blood. "Yes, you will never be alone". He whispered
