'The score is tied and there are only five seconds left on the clock!' The announcer yelled into his mic as the crowd moved to the edge of their seats in anticipation. Half the people held their breath while the rest were cheering their hearts out for the team they were supporting. Nobody seemed to care about the heavy rain as they waited for the end.
The last few seconds ticked by like hours as the players on the field fought for the ball. Neither wanted the other team to win. One member slipped, and the other team took that split second to steal the ball and dribble down the field.
Lightning flared as the ball was kicked high into the air. All eyes followed it, mesmerized. Both captains jumped for it, but one was faster than the other and smashed their foot against the ball, sending it soaring the rest of the way down the field and into the goal, where the goalie's fingers just barely brushed against it, failing to stop the balls path.
The buzzer sounded, the fans went wild, and the game was over.
/In the locker room with Calico Middle School/
Everyone cheered, having just won the game."We did it!" One member yelled. He had short brown hair and big, sparkling green eyes. "We beat Harushi Middle!"
"Barely," Another said. He had shaggy white hair and dark brown, nearly black eyes. "If bucho hadn't been playing we may have lost." He glanced over at another player who had long black hair tied up in a high pony tail and was leaning forward with a towel draped across his neck.
"Let them celebrate Niki," the person said, looking at the white haired player. He had grey eyes and was smiling, despite the fact that he was panting a little and sweating. "They played hard today."
"Are you alright bucho?" Another player asked. He had black hair, dyed red at the tips and light brown eyes.
"I'll be fine Kali," The grey eyed teen said with a wave of his hand. Everyone on the team knew that he didn't do well with the rain, since it always made him sick if he stayed out in it too long. That's why they were a little worried since he'd played the entire last half of the game in the pouring rain.
"I shouldn't have listened to you when you told me to put you in the game," A man with light brown hair and hazel eyes covered by thin glasses said, coming into the locker room.
"Yet you do every time," The teen said with a smile, leaning back against the lockers.
The man sighed, yet he was smiling before he turned to everyone and said, "You all should change out of your wet uniforms before you're all sick. When you're changed, head out to the bus and we'll go back to school."
"Hai," Everyone called as they started changing. The teen with long, black hair and Niki had already showered and changed right after the game so they were ready. Each was dressed in sweats and a tee-shirt with a jacket thrown over it, much the same as everyone else was getting changed into.
"Akira," Niki said, going over to the grey eyed teen, "Let's go." Akira smiled up at him and nodded, taking the offered hand. He leaned against Niki when everything started spinning after he'd stood up. Niki didn't say anything, but supported his captain and friends out to the bus.
/Authors Note/
Please tell me what you think so far! I want to know so I can make it better! Also, this will later on become a crossover with Prince of tennis, but not for a few more chapters. There will be major OOC (out of characterness) going on in this story. I do not own any characters from Prince of Tennis or from Clamp.
PLEASE! READ AND REVIEW! It will help me know what you think of it and if I should change anything!
