Hi! So I've just finished reading Eyeshield 21... my first reaction was that I wanted more, so I decided to write this. Starting from where Eyeshield left off I'll try to make at least an okay continuation of the story, if you guys don't like it, i'm sorry. I'm mostly doing this to satisfy myself.... I can't believe it's over....
this story is going to push me to new levels in my writing, because I do want to focus on some football games. I've never written anything about sports before. so this will be my first time. I'm sorry if i'll be slower with getting new chapters out for this than my other fics, because i know that this story will be a challenge for me....
anyway, in the words of Yankumi from Gokusen, "Fighto-oh!" (yes. that was lame, but i've always wanted to do it!)
Disclaimer: I'm only doing this once, I OWN NOTHING! This first chapter starts with the last chapter (333) of the series with my own little twist.
"The Rice Bowl is the champion of the league against the champion of the semi-pro league! It's a battle with the place of the real number one of Japan at stake. Even more important than the Christmas Bowl! It's the hardest and biggest event in American Football!"
Chapter 1
Suzuna waited excitedly by the Enma University gates. She had been the first one there and the first to know that everyone had gotten in, even Sena. She smiled, it had been half a year since she'd seen him. I finally get to go to school with him. It was then that she spotted Riku speeding toward her, Monta was behind him desperately trying to catch up with him. She jumped and waved them over, "Everyone got accepted to Enma University! They didn't have enough students so all the students passed!"
"What?! Then what did I study desperately to the max for then?!" Monta exclaimed.
The three of them suddenly felt a chill go up their backs, like someone was watching them. They noticed a large dark figure peaking around the corner.
"Why does it feel like You-nii is here?" Suzuna asked the others.
"Found a successful candidate..." The figure hissed evilly before charging at the three of them. Another figure joined the first. So now there were two people running at them.
Monta screamed. Riku calmly stared trying to figure out who was running at them, "Isn't that- AHHHHHHHHH!" Riku was suddenly tossed into the air.
"You passed! Congrad-uraba!" The figures were suddenly recognized as Kurita and Unsui.
"Kurita-san, is this really a good way to invite new members?" Unsui asked.
"I learned it from Hiruma, when we were at Deimon." Kurita had forgotten about the small boy he had just tossed into the air, to explain to Unsui how Hiruma did it. "So now we... uh... oh right! We say 'Feel free to use this phone to call your parents and-"
The kid landed right next to him on his feet. "Your trick is three years old, Kurita-san." Riku smiled.
"RIKU-KUN!" Kurita exclaimed just now realizing who the three people in front of him were, "MONTA-KUN! SUZUNA-CHAN TOO!" Kurita grabbed both Monta and Riku into a suffocating hug of joy.
"This is great! With both of you on our team then winning against Saikyoudai isn't a dream anymore!" Unsui exclaimed.
"But if Kurita doesn't let go, those two will die before joining." Suzuna said relieved that she had managed to escape Kurita's death hug.
Kurita let the boys go, they immediately started planning for their new football season. Suzuna laughed, they were all the same. "TOUCH-DOWN!" Suzuna jumped, her phone had just gotten a text message. Since Sena hadn't been around she changed her text tone to Sena's old one, because she missed it. "Suzuna, I'm going to be late. I left something important on the plane, so I have to run back to get it. I'll met you guys as soon as I can."
"And Sena is joining Enma too!" Monta exclaimed.
"EHHH?! Sena-kun too!? He's back from America?"
"He's going to be late. He left something on the plane." She laughed, typical Sena.
They all smiled at each other. Sena was finally coming back from America after spending the last half of his third year playing football for Notre Dame. Hiruma's lie had become truth, Sena was now the strongest runner from Notre Dame.
"We can't lose!" Monta declaired.
"Yeah. Now that we've joined Enma, I'm looking forward to our first match." Riku stated.
"Yeah! I'll cheerlead! When is the first match?"
"Right now." Kurita said, putting on his helmet.
"WHAT!?" Even Unsui was surprised.
"Yeah, it's against Koigahama University. Let's hurry to the field."
The team was dressed and ready to go. Koutarou and Mizumachi were there too, dressed in their Enma University uniforms. Well, Koutarou was anyway, Mizumachi was only wearing the shirt and his underwear, but no pants.
"Hey, what's with you guys? You aren't ready yet? Not smart!" Koutarou accusingly pointed his comb at the new comers and Mizumachi.
"Koutarou? Was it you!? Who planned a match without permission? Our senpai didn't hear anything about it!" Unsui exclaimed.
"No, was it you Kurita?" Koutarou asked. Kurita shook his head. "Then who?"
"Huh, someone hacked our homepage and added the match. The only smart one of us is Unsui, who didn't know about the match until just now." One of the older teammates said.
"That just seems way too well planned." Another teammate responded.
"Planing another team's game.... without permission.. just for scouting them..." Kurita started putting it together.
"Such an absurd thing, there's only one person in the world who could do that!" Monta declared.
A loud "YA-HA!" pierced their thoughts. Everyone looked behind them to see the blonde haired devil they were just thinking of, crazily driving a jeep with a giant scaffolding attached to the back.
"KEKEKE! Make room! The custom made tower car by Takekura engineering, designed for scouting coming through!" Hiruma laughed while making a sharp turn to get to the football field. On top of the scaffolding a frightened Mamori clung to the railing as if her life depended on it, because it did!
"Hiruma-kun! Drive carefully! Don't forget I'm up here!" She shouted angrily at him.
He laughed even more. "Forget you're up there?! Why do you think I'm driving like this?! KEKEKE!" He slammed on the breaks causing her to jerk forward. One of these days you're going to really piss me off to the point where I steal one of your guns.... She thought irritably.
"Hey did our club have money to pay for that?" Banba asked, he was sitting in the bleachers with Jumonji, Ikkyuu, Agon, Akaba, Yamato, Taka and several other Saiyoudai football players.
"I think he blackmailed the principal..." Ikkyuu explained.
I guess he's already controlling Saikyoudai from the shadows. Jumonji was surprised, even though he knew he should have know better.
"Ehh?! The Saiyoudai team came to watch our game?" Mizumachi exclaimed. "Hey look! There's the Oujou University team! Takami and Yukimitsu are here too from Shuuei Medical College! And Habashira Rui from Zokuto University! I heard he's improved! There's the Takekura Construction Babels; Musashi, Kid, Gaou, Onihei, Tetsuma, Togano and Kuroki!" Mizumachi was getting too excited, he already had his jersey off and was stating to take off his pads.
"Mizumachi! All of our friends are here, so lets use all of our power. We can't show a pitiful match with them watching. Especially Saikyoudai." Riku said, handing him his helmet and jersey.
"Alright!" The others shouted, they huddled up with arms around each other's shoulders, "TO THE RICE BOWL!!! YEAH!"
Two girls entered the Enma gates, they were headed toward the football field. One carried art supplies and wore a long blonde braid.
"Karin... why are we at an American Football match? What does this have to do with becoming a mangaka?" The other girl asked.
"Well... my editor found out that I used to play football... and he told me that I should draw a manga about American Football, with 'Eyeshield 21'-kun as the main character... he said-"
A huge gust of wind blew between them making them lose their balance. Something had blurred by just before.
"Eh? Just now... could it have been... 'Eyeshield 21'-kun?"
"GO ENMA!" Suzuna cheered, she had already found the other cheerleaders and a cheerleader outfit. We're almost all together.
"SENA!" Monta cried, running over and kicking him. "You're late!"
"I'm sorry, I forgot something important in the plane. I had to go back for it." He pulled something out of his bag and looked fondly at it. "The eyeshield I always wore during my three years at Deimon."
Sena, you're face is more like that of an adult. Suzuna noticed, but he was still the same Sena. Their texts and emails from over the past few months had made that clear to her.
"KEKEKE! Is it alright if you don't run to protect Sena from bullies? Mamori-nee-chan." Hiruma teased.
She gave Sena one last protective sisterly glance then turned to Hiruma, her face excited and different. "Of course! He's the opponent now. We have to win, even against Sena!"
"He's not a half-baked opponent. I'll come at him with all my trick plays and CRUSH him!" Hiruma slipped a stick of gum into his mouth and grinned, he knew that this was going to be a fun year.
"Hurry and put your uniform on Sena! The game is going to start!" Unsui shoved everything into Sena's hands.
"Eh? But I just ran all the way here!"
"Go!" The team pushed him towards the locker rooms to change.
Well if I'm going to catch up to Panther-kun... Sena ran to and back from the locker room in record time. Just as the game was starting. One day, I'll definitely fight in the world of pros, just like you are, Panther-kun. Sena confidently stepped onto the field. And the match began.
So there's the first chapter. I really want to focus on the sports part of this story, but I feel like there were a few hints of possible pairings in the manga, other than Monta's obvious nose bleeds for Mamori. I haven't decided if I'm going to do anything with the two pairings yet, or to just keep everyone the way they are, but if I do I don't want it to take over the story. If you feel like it does then let me know in a review and I'll fix it. (the pairings i'm thinking of are SenaxSuzuna and HirumaxMamori)
anyway first chapter. This one was basically a summary of the last chapter and a few off my own words added to it. The next chapter will be all my own and I want to get it up as soon as possible so I don't have this as my only chapter.
oh one more thing, if you guys can come up with names I can use for team mates that would be helpful, I really lack creativity when it comes to names.... which is why my chapters never have names... so if you have a few names that you'll let me use that would be really great!
