Fourth Halftime Show

Team: Seibu Wild Gunmen

Player: The Kid

Position: Quarterback

Due To The Raven...


Due to the raven that follows him wherever he goes...Kid is convinced that something different is about to happen.

For better or for worse... that depends how many times he sees the raven*.


1

Kid braced himself as something...err... someone ran into him. Looking down, all he could see was wild raven hair.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

The raven haired person took off running. "...no problem?" 'Well that was a strange occurence.' Kid tilted his hat lower and began walking, remembering why he was here.

'Now, Tetsuma, where are you?'


2

"TOUCHDOWN!"

The scoreboard read 'Wild Gunmen-97 Scorpians-3', which then changed to 99 after the try-for-point.

Kid removed his helmet, replacing it with his cowboy hat, and took a casual glance at the audience.

'Deimon, Spiders, White Knights, raven hair, Posei-..?' Kid took a double take. He was positive it was the same person. Unruly raven hair with a hint of blue. Of course he didn't look too much into this. After all, it could be just a coincedence.

...

Right?

"Yeeehhhaaawww! Welcome back Wild Gunmen to the manly state of Texas! You're gonna train twice as hard as last year! We're going to the Christmas Bowl this time! Chhiiiiyyyyaaaa!" BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Kid shook his head at the coach's antics. Leaning back in his chair, he watched the scenery go by.

As the bus came to a stop at a red light, Kid nearly pressed his face against the glass as he saw raven hair yet again.

This time she was at a restaurant. Her back was turned to him, so he still couldn't see her face.

'You got to be kidding.'

"Riku."

"Yeah?"

"Tell me... can you see the raven haired girl over there? By the restaurant."

"...Yes...why?"

"No reason."

"...Ok..."

Kid removed his seatbelt before he stood from his seat on the plane, it was good to be back in Japan.

Giving Tetsuma quick orders to gather his bags, he made a move to reach for his carry-on in the compartment above his seat.

That is until an arm snaked out and reached for the bag on the other side of Kid.

Reaching out towards said bag, he saved the person the trouble by retrieving the bag for him or her.

"Oh, thank you."

His eyes widened.

It was a her.

And he knew that 'her'. Well, knew her hair and voice.

...But it couldn't be! The odds...

...are obviously in favor of having him run into her constantly. But what if it's not her?

Only one way to find out.

Turning his head toward the girl, he was met with nothing but air as he realized he took too long thinking. Kid sighed, oh well. He looked towards the exit of the plane where Tetsuma was waiting. Just behind him, a person obscured from his view, he could barely see the tips of blue tinted hair leave the plane...

ONE MONTH LATER

"Please do not run down the stairs. It is very dangerous."

Sena nearly dived to make it to the train before the doors sealed shut.

"Sena-kun, what's your rush?" Kid moved over from where he was standing to give Sena some breathing room. It was always so crowded on the train this time of day.

"If I'm late for practice again, Hiruma-kun will-" Sena gulped. He didn't want to think of the ways Hiruma could 1-up the punishment for being late.

"YOU PERVERT!" *Cue painful slapping sound*

Everyone's attention was drawn to a man with short black hair in a dragon tail at the base of his neck, currently nursing a red hand print on his cheek.

Kid, however, was looking towards the train's exit. Where a raven haired girl nearly stormed out, causing him to believe she was the victim of the injured man.

Kid watched as she headed towards the stairs. He was almost tempted to follow her. But before he took one step, the doors shut.

He sighed. He was nearly 100% positive that this wasn't the last time he'd see her.

It's been awhile since Kid attended a shrine fesitval. Not that he didn't like such events, he just didn't see the need to go to one.

So why was he here?

Ah, yes. He heard Riku mention meeting some of the Devil Bats at the Higurashi Shrine Festival. And although he saw Sena a little over a week ago, he has yet to see the rest of the Devil Bats except as a spectator during their games.

Kid noticed an area surrounded by people. Something about an archery contest. Gently pushing his way toward the front of the crown, he saw the raven haired girl directing the archery contest. He was somewhat frustrated that the girl's back was to him, keeping Kid from seeing her face.

Once the tournament was over, her made a move to finally approach the girl. Not wanting to be rude, he waited until after she was done talking to an older woman he assumed was her mother. However, before he could say anything, the raven haired girl quickly darted into the house.

He sighed. It was getting late. A majority of the crowd went home already. Walking down the many stairs of the shrine, he atleast knew where she lived.

And in one of the many rare times, Kid had a goal and was determined to find out and officially meet this raven.

FIN...for now...


A/N: I'm sorry for leaving you with only half of this story but I wanted to give you something and ending this part here kinda worked.

*I embellished the symbol of the raven a little. Usually omens are told by how many ravens you see in a flock, not how many times you see it. But it works in the story so whatever! There's also a little ryhme that goes with it.

One for bad news,

Two for mirth.

Three is a wedding,

Four is a birth.

Five is for riches,

Six is a thief.

Seven, a journey,

Eight is for grief.

Nine is a secret,

Ten is for sorrow.

Eleven is for love,

Twelve - joy for tomorrow.

Please review! :D
