Stringer 13: I was just watching Eyeshield 21 episode 50-73 and when I saw Riku's relationship with Sena, I thought they would be perfect together. I mean Riku wants to take care of Sena and it is so sweet. I mean when I saw the flashback where Riku was willing to be beat up to protect Sena when they threatened him. I fell in love with this pairing. Also, this takes place right before the game against the Seibu Gunman.

Riku x Sena

Riku loved Sena with all his heart. He knew that the boy was too kind for his own good. When they were little, he refused to fight even though the other boys beat him up. He knew he would be able to fight back and yet, he didn't want anyone to get hurt. He detested fighting. That is how Riku fell in love for him. He was too sweet. He didn't want to move and leave him, but he had no choice. Even after he moved he could never stop thinking about him.

He had just met him again today in high school he met Sena at the Oujo game, he was surprised at find out he was the manager of the Deimon Devil Bats his opponents next team. Also, he was extremely jealous when he fond out about Sena's obsession with Oujo's Shin. Sena should be looking at him, not this guy!

After Oujo's game, he confronted Shin dragging Sena along. Sena didn't seem to want to see Shin for some reason even though he was obsessed with. When Shin saw Sena when they entered the dressing room, he looked at Sena surprised. It was like they were completely ignoring him!

"What do you think of Eyeshield 21?" asked Riku. He had heard great stories about this Eyeshield 21 character and was curious if he was as fast as he was heard to be.

"Don't underestimate him. You can not be misjudging him. Even though he is small, he is fast." Shin explained looking at Sena. Riku saw the glance at Sena and glared yet again. When Sena heard the name Eyeshield 21, he seemed to stiffen. Riku saw this and was wondering what their relationship was.

'So let me think for a second. It seems Sena likes Shin in some way and it seems Sena and Eyeshield know each other on strange terms. It seems I have a lot of rivals for Sena's heart' he thought with a determined look on his face. It was just too bad that he didn't know Eyeshield 21's true identity.

After they met Shin, it was time for Riku's game.

"Sena let me show you how good I am at American football. I bet I'm better then Eyeshield 21 and Shin." said Riku confidently. This was his chance to show Sena what he could do. He didn't know how his words affected Sena though. Sena looked down at the ground sadly. He didn't seem to have much confidence in himself.

'Is Riku that good? Well when we were kids he was the best. I don't want to have to play against him' thought Sena meekly. He saw Riku go on the field in his uniform and looked at him in awe. During the game Sena was amazed at the speed Riku could go at. He wasn't sure if he could do what Riku did. He was just as fast as Riku maybe even faster but he tired out a lot faster then him. Riku's stamina was off the charts. The Seibu Gunmen easily won the game thanks to their Running Back.

Riku looked at Sena and saw how he was impressed. He smiled at Sena and Sena looked away, his cheeks slightly red. Riku saw this yet again and inwardly cheered.

'Woo Hoo! One point Riku, Eyeshield zero.' He inwardly cheered thinking he was winning in the competition in Sena's heart. Too bad he didn't know all the facts of the matter happening. Riku then walked Sena home looking at the pretty sight of the boys smiling face. He truly loved the boy. He just wished he didn't have much of a back bone. He needed everyone to take care of him but maybe that's why he liked him so much. He was so small that he would be bullied by anyone.

"Good Night Sena" he said walking him to his door giving him a friendly hug. Unknown to Sena, it was more to that to Riku.

The next day, Riku went to Deimon high school to go see Sena. He knew Sena was the manager of Deimon was Sena so he probably would be around the football field. Also, he could go check out Eyeshield 21 his supposed rival in Sena's heart. He just didn't look underneath the underneath.

When he got to the football field he met up with Sena's team. He didn't really like number's 51, 52, and 53. They got into a big fight.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Kazuki. "You're not wearing Deimon's school uniform so you're not around here." He exclaimed.

"I'm the Running Back from Seibu" said Riku not really paying attention. He was too busy looking for Sena. Hearing that, the whole team except Hiruma looked surprised.

"Hey don't ignore us!" yelled Togano getting ready to fight by cracking his knuckles. Riku ignored them yet again and was about to walk off but he felt something on his shoulder. He looked behind him and saw the blonde with the scar on his right cheek's hand on his shoulder. Riku glared at him. He truly didn't like this guy. He could tell the feeling was mutual.

Then Sena and Mamori walked onto the field while carrying equipment. They both looked surprised to see Riku so soon when they just saw him yesterday. Sena quickly broke up the fight. Then they went for a walk with Mamori. Riku looked disappointed that Mamori had to still take care of Sena. She shouldn't have to because he could do it for himself. Even if Sena couldn't pull it off, Riku could do it himself thought Riku smiling. He just wanted to hold Sena in his arms and never let go. He wouldn't let Eyeshield get in his way.
