Slight AU. I'm not sure if I got the perfect character traits, so attempt not to kill me. Prepare yourself for my story! Character death.
Warning: Yaoi, angst, a little ooc, Hiruma, Agon, allSena.
Disclaimer: Don't own Eyeshield 21 or songs/books used.
A/N: I am sick. And tired of getting PMs and some reviews (not all) that are trying to tell me what to do. So, I decided to take down the story. And re-submit it.
Maybe, more people would like this one better.

(No POV)
Sena swore that he didn't want to go intentional. Sure he was happy that he would be able to play in the core of American Football, (in America) it would give him much more experiences and strength, and he would be able to improve! It would be amazing!
But…
Was he willing to leave his team, the Deimon Devilbats? He, the newly appointed captain, was supposed to lead them into another victory at the Christmas bowl, and he wasn't too willing to leave a team that he help build.
The thought was too painful, and then he would be even farther away than what he was. They had much more work to do since this was their last year to win the Christmas Bowl.
Sena sat in the clubhouse, racking his brain to figure out what to do.
To put it simply, his parents (more like his mom…) gave him a choice…
-Flashback-
"Hai? You called for me?" Sena calmly walked in with curiosity lighting up his eyes, he was in the dining room with his parents.
"Sena, do you… Want to go to America?" Shuuma asked quietly and Sena blinked.
How often was it that his father wasn't cowering behind something?
"Why no-…" Sena caught himself and looked warily, "Why?" he asked, suspicious.
"It's your choice, you could live by yourself here, or… In America," Mihae said and pursed her lips.
"Wha...What do you mean?" Sena said, looking as though he was ready to run away from something bad… Something worse than Shin's trident tackle.
"Do you want to live in America or Japan?" She said bluntly.
"I…" Sena felt as though his life (Football) was flashing through his eyes, "I… Don't know…" he admitted, his eyes flashed to his father's, who inhaled
sharply before looking away.
"Well, when you decide, tell us, okay?" She said and Sena nodded, and took this time before sprinting off to his room.
What was going on?
-Flashback End-
By the time the new team had gathered in the clubhouse, all of them in uniform except Sena, they looked at him strange.
"Ne, Sena," Monta asked, concern in his voice, "What's going on, shouldn't we be practicing?" he asked.
"I just want to confirm something," Sena said, his voice sharper than usual. The team looked at him funny. Well, it wasn't everyday that they saw their captain like this,"What… Whatever happens… will you still hate me?" Sena asked, looking away and at the floor.
"Sena?" Monta looked taken back.
Sena clenched his fists and shook, hard. "Please," he said, voice cracking, before he coughed it away."Will you?"
"Well, as long as you stay as you are, with or without the title, you'll still be my Sena, and that's all I need," to Sena's surprise it was the rough voice of Juumonji. Eyes bore at a slightly blushing Juumonji, the one that was trying to hide it by coughing in his fist. Sena loosened up and smiled warmly at the new center, whose blush turned darker. "But…" his eyes turned softer, "The only Sena I know and want to know..." he said, "Will never change drastically enough for me to hate."
"His coolness can't be forgiven," Toganou and Kuroki whispered as Juumonji yelled at them.
"I agree. MAX!" Monta chimed in brightly.
"AH-HA-HA~ Sena don't you worry!" Taki said, "I'll never hate you, 2100%!" he yelled and Sena's smile grew. "Even if you were to disappear, the glorious me will find you!" The blond male automatically began turning in circles.
"Baka onii-chan!" Suzuna yelled, but her features relaxed, "But this one time, I'll agree with him," she sighed.
"If it's Sena-sempai, I don't care!" Chuubou yelled, nearly breaking everyone's eardrums.
"Even though what Kazu said was cheesy, I have to agree with him," Toganou said.
"It's not like our Sena could change drastically," Kuroki snorted.
Sena smiled and nodded, and before anyone else could talk, he said, "All right then, we'll start training like this…" he carefully gave out the group's training schedule. The mood continuing like usual, like a peaceful, happy, healthy, Deimon Devilbats, afterall, Sena and them were helping out for preparations for the Chirstmas Bowl.
Because that's where he belonged.
※—※
The following day, no one saw Sena. No one could find him, not even Hiruma. Worried, they sent e-mails and called all other teams, desperately trying to find the small, yet famous in the American Football world.
-Seibu
"Sena's missing?" Riku screamed when he received news. The rest of the team jumped as the second year was screaming his guts out. Immediately, he turned to coach, "I'm sorry, but I gotta help find him!" he said with only panic as he thought of all of the things that could possibly happen to him. With that, he ran off the field, still wearing his uniform.
The coach screamed something vulgar before setting his guns off, and then, Kid and Tetsuma, the graduated seniors, walked onto the feild.
"What's going on?" Kid asked, his old childhood friend just behind him.
"Something about this Sena-kid disappearing," the coach huffed, "And that gives Riku a reason to ditch practice..."
"Sena? From Deimon?" a very dark looked past his face as his cell phone ringed with a text message.
Flipping it open, and skimming the message, the cowboy sighed. Pulling his hat further down his head, he looked over behind him.
"Tetsuma," Kid called out to the emotionless male, and walked over to the coach, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to help out as well," he said, worry barely striking his voice, "There's a certain devil that's forcing me to do so..." I thought something was up when I got that 'Free all-you-can-eat' card.
The male twitched and then began screaming, "There's no point in training if none of our aces are here!" and pulling out his two hand guns and blasting them at the heavens, "Hurry up and find that Sena-kid so we can go back to practicing! We have a Christmas Bowl to win!"
-Posiedon
"What's going on, Kakei-sama?" Ohira and Onishi asked in alarm when they saw Kakei's reaction when he got off the phone.
"Sena…" he whispered, and then ran out the door, "Sena's missing!" he announced, fear and panic reflecting off his eyes. Kakei Shun, the Kyoshin Poseidon's new captain had lost his cool, "I have to find him, please excuse me from practice!" Kakei yelled and ran off the school grounds.
Long tanned legs stretched over the bench as his crazy wile hair flashed from the clubroom, "Nya! Nothing is fun when Kakei's dead serious, and there's no point on winning the Christmas bowl when the people I want to defeat aren't there," he exclaimed as he chuckled softly, baby blue eyes sparking with worry as Mizumatchi left the school.
"I shall help you Kakei-sama!" Ohira yelled before running out.
"As, Kakei-sama's number one disciple..." Onishi snarled, "I have to find Sena-kun!" he roared.
"Che, like to see you try," Ohira grunted in a response, "For, I am Kakei-sama's number one disciple..."
"What was that?"
"If you are going to help, come now!" Kakei's impatient voice sliced through their arguement as they rushed over.
"Yes sir!"
-Bando
"Juli?" Akaba called their manager, who looked quite nervous, Kotarou narrowed his eyes and joined in the conversation, "Your usual tempo has suddenly changed to a staccato, is there something wrong?" he asked and Juli looked away.
"It's not smart to hide something from the team," Kotarou said, while brushing his hair.
"It's about Sena…" Juli said and immediately got full Kotarou's and Akaba's attention, "He's... Missing" she said and that was it. Akaba shoved his guitar in the case, and left, without locking it!
Kotarou runs off the school grounds, "That's so not smart! I'll be leaving practice, but will be coming back once I find him!" he called over his shoulder and ran, Akaba already off and sprinted off to find the young Eyeshield 21.
Juli sighed, she knew that the males would sprint off like that, but...
Why couldn't they run like that in games?
-Hakashuu
"Marco-san, is there something wrong?" Kisaragi asked the captain.
"I can't practice today, I have to find Sena, I'd say," he said and ran.
Gaou appeared in front of him, Marco bit his lips and walked right past him, Gaou grabbed his arm and spun him around. "Gaou, I don't have the—"
"I'm coming with you," Gaou said, cutting Marco off, "Let's go," he said and the two ran off.
"Strength is beautiful and absolute," Kisaragi said softly before his eyes hardened with resolve, "Sena-kun can give Gaou and Marco the courage to make them even more beautiful..." bright blue eyes sparked with resolve as he rushed after the group, still in his uniform, "And this world can always have more beauty," fluttering his hair softly in the breeze.
He rushed after his captain and admirer.
-Shinryuuji
"Unsui-san?" Ikkyuu was surprised to see that the more responsible and new captain of the Amefuto team at Shinryuuji, leaving practice so early, "Where are you going? Practice is going to start," he started; this got everyone's attention, including Agon.
"Sena's..." Unsui said, "I'm going to go to him," the usually calm man said as he gulped nervously and ran out, ignoring his brother next to him.
"Stupid trashes," he muttered, "What, are all of you gay or something?" He growled out, and turned, expecting Unsui's disappointed stare, but all he got was some air.
"A-Agon-san..." Ikkyuu meeped as the dread-locked male turned to him.
"What's so big about the brownie anyways?"
That was one of the first times Ikkyuu has ever heard Agon say someone's name, or something close to it.
Maybe he learned some respect over the last year.
"Sena..." the receiver gulped as the text message flashed through his mind as though it was truly in front of him, "And that means that Monta's game will be screwed up..." he said, before his eyes flashed with some sort of anger, "And that's going to lead to a oni-pointless game."
"What?" the dread-locked male looked over, some form of confusion and anger emitting off of him.
"Agon-san... Please take care of the team!" he called before he ran out.
"O-Oi!" the reaction time wasn't fast enough, nor strong as the receiver ran out of the school, leaving the male in the dust.
A large freshman walked up to him, "A-Agon-san-?"
"Shut up," the male replied harshly as he glared at him, before walking off, "Everyone's to do basic stamina building, and anyone that doesn't," a sharp glare with a sadistic grin formed on the male's face, "Answers to me."
"H-hai!" the male cried out in despair.
"Good," Agon Kongo chuckled darkly before getting to the task at hand.
He'll find the chibi, and when he does...
They'll train together or something.
-Zokugaku
"Rui!" Megu called the captain, who just turned to her, "Have you heard?" she asked.
"How could I not?" Habashira responded and got on his motorbike, "I'm going, the damn devil told me, he actually sounded desperate," he said as he chucked darkly before roaring his motorbike to life, "Tell the other I'm going to look for the damn shrimp, he seems to be the only link to keep 'him' humane," with that, he was off.
"You're not by yourself," Megu said and instructed the rest of the team to practice or help her and Habashira look for the Deimon's running ace.
Kobayakawa Sena.
After all, he was the whole reason why everything else changed.
-Teikoku
"Sena? He's…missing?" Yamato's smile left his face. But, there was slight mix of emotions on his face, the only things you will never let the Emperor slip from, slipped.
How often do you see a completely desperate Yamato Takeru?
Even Taka was caught off-guard as he stood up, throwing a glance at Yamato, he tried to steady his voice, "I'm… going to find him…" he said and while he was walking out the door, he turned to Yamato, "Are you coming?"
"I am," Karin announced shyly as she walked to Taka, surprising the members resent, "Sena…He's really important… and… it feels as though it won't matter unless it's Deimon we steal the title from," she stammered and Yamato's smile came loosely back on.
"Yeah, after all, it's them that stole the title 'number one', we won't be number one unless we take it from them," Yamato announced and began running out the door, his best friend coming with him.
"It's not like there's something I can get from practice," he said, "All my perspectives are only to Raimon Taro. But he won't be at his top unless his friend is with him," the tall receiver softly chuckled, "Besides, Sena is a rare player."
"Yeah," Yamato said breathlessly.
"He still has manners."
-Oujou
"What? What do you mean, Sena's missing?" Takami's usual calm posture broke into a surprised and worry.
"Exactly what I said, fucking four-eyes," the person he was talking to was in the clubroom with him, "Fucking chibi is missing… Have you…Have you seen him?" Hiruma Youichi, ex-captain of the Deimon Devilbats, was asking something from Takami.
"No, but I'll look for him," he said and the two stood up and left, "…Where was he last?" he asked.
"I… I don't know," Hiruma said hesitantly.
A dry chuckle escaped the upperclassmen's lips, "I never imagined the day you would say that."
The blond male scowled darkly as he left the school grounds.
Takami called Sakuraba over and told him to keep him quiet.
"Sena is missing?" Sakuraba asked, alarmed, and Takami nodded.
"Yeah, no one knows where he is, so if you find him…" Sakuraba left, without saying anything to the stunned Takami. When he was about to stop him, Shin was already there.
"Sakuraba, where are you going, we need to practice," he said, in a very commanding voice.
"Sorry Shin, but if your rival isn't there, or if he's off, there is no need to practice," Sakuraba said and ran out.
"Sakuraba?" Shin said, stunned and turned to Takami, who looked away and then walked away. "Takami-sempai," Takami turned over to Shin.
"Sena's missing," that's all he said before Shin ran out of the room. Sena… Just where are you?
-Deimon
Before…
"Where's the fucking chibi!" Hiruma yelled, picking up his guns, "He's late!"
"Sena-sempai will be here!" Chuubou yelled, "He's just late!"
"Yeah, Mamori-san is on the phone, calling him and his home," Monta said.
Mamori walked in the room, refusing to meet anyone's eyes.
"Mamori?" Suzuna asked and Mamori was on the brink of tears.
"No one… No one was answering," Mamori said and pursed her lips.
"What happened, fucking manager?" Hiruma demanded and Mamori let a tear slip out of her eye.
"Sena… He… He's missing," she said and the three huh-huh brothers paid attention, "Someone picked up at home, and… they said that that wasn't the Kobayakawa residence," Suzuna held Mamori as she broke down completely.
Hiruma didn't bat an eyelash before giving out the next pair of orders, "I'm going to contact the other fucking teams to find my fucking chibi," he said, completely serious, his eyes showing some other emotion they never saw. "Go fucking find him!" he yelled and the others sprinted out.
It wasn't like Sena was going to disappear forever, right?
