Because Hitsugaya being mobbed by fifth graders was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
The shinigami were gathered for the championship match of the hip new human game called 'soccer', 10th versus 11th. While one would normally expect the 11th Division to pwn big time, over the course of the season they had shown a severe lack of any kind of strategy other then 'charge the net and get it in'. The kind of which 10th Division had hordes of.
It was going to be an interesting match.
The whistle blew, and Hitsugaya almost immediately got the ball from Ikkaku, who was showing the normal 'die die die' attitude of 11th, except along the lines of 'kick kick score'. He charged down the field, Matsumoto on his right, Yachiru on his left. Yachiru turned in towards him. Hitsugaya pulled back, causing the two women to ram each other, then Yachiru latched on, cheering.
The whistle blew. "Foul!"
There was a slight change in 11th Division line up, of which Hitsugaya was sure wasn't a smart move. A smart move would have been to bench Yachiru, not put her as goalie.
Now Matsumoto was moving down the field, her taichou on her left, Yumichika on her right. Yumichika tripped, in no way Matsumoto's fault. He lay on the ground, sobbing over his ruined hairdo. The referee blew his whistle. "Foul!"
"I had nothing to do with that!"
"Tell it to the judge!"
"Stupid biased 11th Division refs," she muttered under her breath.
"What was that?"
Matusmoto looked up into the face of Zaraki Kenpachi, grinning that creepy grin he grinned when he was about to wipe you off the face of the earth. "Uhh nothing, nothing."
The game progressed, neither side giving an inch. But in the end, Hitsugaya scored the winning goal. It was quite showy and impressive too.
"So taichou, are you playing this because you like it or because you want to impress Kurosaki Ichigo's sister?"
"WHAT! Shut up, Matsumoto!"
Hitsugaya stalked off to practice his footwork. Not like he'd ever admit anything like that to Matsumoto.
Reviews much appreciated!
