Love and Football

Play one: Sox

"Komori, why are we here again?" Hiruma Yoichi said to a girl a little shorter then him. The rest of the team was there, Sena, Monta, the Ha-Ha brothers, Kurita, and Yukimitsu.

"We're here to meet my pen pal, Sox," Komori said ", her plane should be landing any minuet now."

"Before she gets here, why in the name of hell is her name Sox?"

"She hates her Christian name, so she has everyone call her Sox."

"Why is it spelled with an X?"

"Cause, that's the pimp way to spell it. Here's her plane! Hold up the sign, dammit!"

Hiruma held up the sign with a sigh. A large plane landed. "Now unloading Flight 21 from Huston, Texas," was heard over the speaker.

"She's coming!" Komori squealed. "Hold the sign higher!"

A stream of people came out of the gate. None of which looked all that important.

"Do you even know what she looks like?" Hiruma asked.

"Yes. I know what— Sox-chan!" Komori suddenly ran into the stream. A squeal was heard, then laughter, fallowed at last by talking. "You look just like your pictures!"

"Thanks. I'm so happy to be here! You look better then I thought you would!"

Komori came back, leading a girl, not much younger then her, out of the crowd. Her hair was a glossy and soft golden blonde, her eyes a bright brown. She was as tall as Komori. "Everyone, I would like you to meet Sox Smith, my pen pal from America. Sox this is—"

"Don't worry. You're all like you described them." Sox looked up at Hiruma, who towered over her. "Hey Lucifer. When did you get out?"

"About eighteen years ago." Hiruma said with a shrug.

"Anyway, this is Kurita-kun, Monta-san, Togano-san, Jumonji-san, Kuroki-san, collectivly known as the Ha-Ha Brothers, Yukimitsu-san, or Yuki-san, and Sena-kun." Sox said. She smiled at them.

"Yeah…" Komori said. "How did you…"

"The in flight moive was bad, and I had nothing better to do then read our letters."

Later, Komori got Sox to her new home. "And this is my lovely home. It's not a mansion, but it has a quant atmostphere that I for one wouldn't trade for the world."

"The couch looks like it wants to eats me…" Sox said looking at it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day was Sox's first day at Deimon High.

"Wow…this school is so big…" Sox said as she looked at the building.

"Yeah, and we go to school for ten hours a day." Komori said.

"What? In America we go for seven hours."

"That's what makes Japan smart and America not so much." Komori said.

Sox just looked at her. "I still see myself as American." She walked to the playground and climbed up the jungle gym, sitting on the top.

"Yeah, I know." Komori walked off to the gym.

"Monta-san, you've had a dazed look since yesterday, something wrong?" Sena asked.

"No. I'm just thinking about Sox-chan. She is beautiful max…" Monta said with a sigh.

"Hey Sox-chan." Sena said.

Monta looked up and saw Sox sitting on the jungle gym, and blush rushed over his face. "Beauty max…"

"Hey Sena-kun, hey Monta-san," she said. "Hold up." She jumped down into the jungle gym, fixed her skirt and walked out. "How are you guys today?"

"Good. Komori-chan pulled strings and got you in Deimon?" Sena asked.

"Yeah I guess. Didn't ask. I've learn to not ask questions with Komo-chan." Sox said with a shrug.

"Sox," Komori yelled, "come here!"

"Coming!" Sox hugged Sena and Monta gently and ran off.

"Sox-chan…" Monta said almost in a more dazed state.

"Monta-san…you in there?" Sena asked waving his hand in front of Monta's face.

Sox walked into the gym. "Yeah, Komo—." Sox caught a black skirt and a black and red top. "The hell…?"

"You're going to try out for the cheer squad."

"Ok…aren't you the only cheer leader?"

"Yeah. And?"

Sox got dressed and walked out. "Sox-chan! You look to cute!"

"Is that a good or bad thing?"

Komori shrugged. "Now, show me what you got."

Sox stood stalk still, eyes down cast. Then the red and black pom-poms moved a bit in a one two pattern. She looked up and clapped her hands together in the same one two pattern.

"There was a batty, who live inside a cave/He was cheering the other team, he was so naïve.

"He fell off the ceiling and bumped his little head/When he came around this is what he said."

She stuck her left and right arms in and out respectively. "Go, go, go! Go you mighty Devil Bats," again she stuck her arms, "Fight, fight, fight! Fight you might Devil Bats," and once more, "Win, win, win! Win you mighty Devil Bats! Go, fight, win! Till the very end!" She jumped in the air lifting her legs and touching her toes. "Well, Komo-chan?"

"Sox-chan, that was great! You're on the squad! Hey Sena-kun, hey Monta-san." Komori said.

Sox turned around. "Hey."

Monta's eyes were so glazed they looked like something out of art class. "Sox-chan…beauty max…"

"Well, I'm going to get changed. See you three later!" Sox ran off to the girl locker room.
