It was another day, another day of the long and strenuous death march. Akane rode her bicycle along the side of the road shouting words of encouragement to support the team. She urged the team to do their best as she herself smiled brightly at their progress.

Fifteen minutes later Mamori began worriedly, "Where's Akane?"

"Hmm, don't know…ah! Maybe she's further up than us." Cried Monta.

"Yeah, She was full of energy when we started and that might've made her travel further."

"HEEEEEYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!! THERE'S A CITY UP AHEAD!!!" Akane magically appeared before them, worn out though the grin on her face said otherwise.

Sena, Monta and Yukimistsu had a blush adoring their features, whilst Hiruma had a huge grin plastered upon his face. Confused at their antics Akane drew near them as Hiruma pulled out a gun.

Hiruma shot the ground underneath Yukimitsu, Monta and Sena, scared for their life all three ran away leaving Akane and Hiruma standing at the truck stop alone.

Akane was oblivious to her situation as she blinked and tilted her head to the side cutely questioning "What happened? Why are you all stopping?"

"Get the hell off of your fucking bike damn wife!!!" demanded a furious blonde.

-Akane's POV-

"Get the hell off of your fucking bike damn wife!!!" demanded a furious blonde. You blinked twice, but followed his order as you slowly got off and placed it somewhere. Then you made your way back to Hiruma slowly confused as to his actions and demands, when he grabbed your hand and dragged you over to the back of a truck.

Pulling you closer he whispered rather huskily into your ear, "You want me to attack you here? Damn wife." Hiruma was rather devious, he smirked as a light blush covered your cheeks.

"W-What do you mean?" You were completely perplexed, utterly flabbergasted. 'Just what is he talking about!?!?!' Your mind was in a frazzle as Hiruma leaned in once more.

"Do you want to seduce me…damn wife." grinned a rather cunning devil.

Stuttering and flushing darker you began, "I-I-I d-do-don't understand…." Your voice had indistinctively lowered and you attempted, key word attempted to hide the blush staining your pale cheeks.

"Well, then you should look down." Hiruma demanded. You tilted your head sideways before complying and looked down to see. Your bra…..your BLACK bra totally visible through your soaked white tee. Why you wore a black bra with a white t-shirt is beyond me, but you did and soon you understood the situation.

"AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Your face…if it's even humanly possible had darkened a considerable amount and your arms flew up to cover your chest. Hiruma had screwed his eyes shut and covered his ears way before expecting this from said wife. Honestly though the two of you were married; why were you so shy? He was bound to see you naked one day right? Right.

When you calmed down, or seemed to calm down Hiruma opened his eyes annoyed at your scream, though as soon as he opened his mouth to yell at you Mamori and the whole team appear out of no where. (When I said all, I MEANT ALL! Everyone including Coach Doburoku.)

Mamori was the first to speak as she glared at Hiruma.

"What's wrong? Did Hiruma do something to you?" You shook your head viciously as the team sweat dropped at your actions.

"NO! Nothing happened….I just…" You began, but you stopped due to the fact that it was hard to find the words you wanted to say when you're embarrassed.

"What the fuck are you all doing here? I'm not doing anything to this damn brat, so mind your own fucking business and get back to your fucking training!!!!" Screamed an out raged blonde glaring at everyone. When no one made a move Hiruma pulled out his gun and started shooting at them.

"GET BACK THE FUCK BACK TO PRACTICE!!!!" The team screamed before most scrambled back to practice and giving a shout of "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!!!" hoping for a cease fire of the endless bullets Hiruma seemed to possess.

Mamori however stood her ground until Sena grabbed her hand and dragged her away.

"T-Thanks." You replied, a smidge glad that you were alone with him. Then again…why would you be glad?

Hiruma grinned and turned around mumbling, "Whatever, now get on the fucking truck and change, before I fucking do something."

Squeaking out a yes, you ran back to the truck arms still crossed in front of your chest. When you reached the truck you scampered in and grabbed your extra change of clothes, which happened to be a pair of skinny jeans and a brand new t-shirt.

After changing into this you grabbed your bike and jumped on; pedaling towards the city.

"Alright there's a city MAX!" Cried an overjoyed Monta as you grinned happily. While the others were still training you went off ahead of them in search of a motel for them to stay at and for you to rinse off your pretty dirty body. It had been a while since your last shower.

After hours spent searching for hotels you managed to find one, and you booked three bedrooms in an extremely beautiful hotel.

"Ah~ that was a refreshing bath!" You cried happily, pulling on your short sleeved brown dress with spankies underneath. Hiruma hummed in response, as Sena entered.

Your towel was in your hand and it was currently set to your head in hopes of drying your long black hair. As the rest excluding Kurita entered Hiruma's room.

"Yep! It sure feels good once you've taken a nice long shower to relax!!" cried Monta.

"How did we manage to afford lodging!?!?!" asked Sena, skeptical of the three rooms Hiruma somehow "booked." Mamori was by Sena's side with a towel in her hand as she helped Sena dry his hair.

Hiruma -who sat on the edge of his bed- cackled evilly as he pulled out his black notebook, flipping to a page. He was about to show Sena when said boy spoke up, "Ah…then again, I think it's better if I don't know."

Hiruma shrugged and shoved his little notebook in some secret pocket, as you smiled brightly. Sena sweat dropped at the magical disappearance of said book.

Kurita came in moments later and suggested, "Hiruma, maybe we shouldn't practice our plays now." Everyone turned to Kurita -who had mysteriously appeared out of no where- and frowned. Mostly everyone was either confused or skeptical of Kurita's suggestion.

Hiruma scoffed, "If we train individually, we won't be a fucking team and then we'll look like shit. Do you want that you damn porker!?!?!" Hiruma screeched and abruptly he turned to face Akane.

"Damn brat! Give me the book." You nodded and shifted through your bag, moments later you pulled out a white book. The cover of the book had the Devil Bat's logo and it was extremely thick. Hiruma pulled the book out of your grasp and opened it.

"This play book better be burned into the back of your fucking skulls by the time we get back!!!" Screamed Hiruma as he flipped to a page. Cards fell out of the book moments later and tumbled to the bed.

"Whoa…." Both Sena and Monta were flabbergasted at the amount of cards that fell out of the book.

Yukimitsu picked up a card and examined it before exclaiming "Oh! It seems that every card has a different tactic written on it."

"You mean…all of these…have different plays?" Monta asked curiously munching on a banana. You nodded before replying "Yes, each one has a different play and or tactic written on it."

Toganou picked up a card and studied it. "Hey, look this is the 'Sweep' tactic we used against the NASA Aliens."

"What's up with the illustra-" Sena didn't even get a chance to finish his sentence before Hiruma butted in.

"It's to help you memorize them in time! The image will remind you of the tactic subconsciously!!" cried Hiruma.

"Does….the illustration look bad?" You started timidly.

"No, there's so many cool pictures here! The plays are pretty awesome too!" Monta cried ecstatically.

You smiled before muttering a quiet, "Thanks…."

Monta turned to stare at you confusion etched on his face as he blinked. Realizing he was confused you mumbled, "I drew them myself…"

"Wow, that's amazing Akane….you're so cool." Monta sighed dreamily staring at you. You blinked when Monta skipped off into lala land, unaware of his current surroundings.

"Can you even perform all of those attack patterns?" Doburoku started staring at Hiruma's back. "You don't even have a tight end, do you?"

"What's a tight end?" asked Sena.

"A player who can both block and receive passes, the player must be able to perform whatever tactical role that they need to do." You began, "So in short, a tight end is someone that can do anything."

"Yes, now…get the fuck out." Then just like that everyone began to move out.

Doburoku nodded, "I'm going to go buy sake...all of you need to rest as much as you can."

"Alright, then everyone let go to bed!" cried Mamori clapping her hands together as everyone filed out of Hiruma's room.

When you were sure that everyone had left you got up yourself and began to exit when Hiruma pulled you towards him. You stumbled and soon found yourself in his lap as he turned your head towards him.

"Just…where do you think your fucking going?" Hiruma began a devious smirk beginning to form.

You flushed as he leaned in, "To bed…."

At this Hiruma's smirk widened, "Just where do you plan to sleep?" he asked his grin never faltering.

"W-Well I thought I could just share a room with Mamori." you replied nervously.

"Oh…so you don't want to share a room with your beloved husband?" A pout was etched onto his face as you flinched. His pout was then replace with an abnormally large grin.

You flushed something that seems to come naturally when you're around Hiruma as you answered definitely "No, they'll be curious."

Hiruma's grin didn't falter nor did it disappear. Instead his grin grew insanely large as he began with a mocking tone, "Then prove it~ I want you to kiss me." It was a demand, everything with Hiruma, Yoichi was a demand and you knew this.

"I-I W-Well! Uhm!" You were stuttering and completely vulnerable to Hiruma's little game. Whether or not to kiss him was the only question that lingered in your mind. It was a challenge you knew this much. Everything to this man was a challenge, but before you could even make your decision Hiruma tilted your chin up.

His hand move up to your face as he caressed your pale cheeks that were currently flushed with a brilliant red. His arm wrapped itself around your waist as he leaned in closer.

"I want a kiss, and you're not leaving till I get one." Hiruma stated boldly. You swallowed the lump in your throat, tense of the close proximity between you and Hiruma. The guy always he personal space issues anyways, not that you minded.

"A-Alright…but what if Doburoku comes back?" You replied shakily staring up into his green-gray eyes. Hiruma smirked at the blush staining your cheeks and the excuses you came up with.

He cackled "He won't come back for a while…" Hiruma replied his eyes narrowing dangerously. Though you were his wife he couldn't help but feel upset. The two of you barely spent any time together and it was slowly getting on his nerves.

He even thought about telling the whole world he was married to you. Hell it'd make his day when random bastards he didn't know would stop hitting on you. Even the damn monkey started liking you.

"A-Alright! Alright…you win." You replied as you leaned up and touched his lips with yours. Your eyes flutter shut and after a second or so later you try to pull away when he tightened his grip around your waist and pulled you closer.

Your face flared and you felt incredibly hot, Hiruma pulls away several minutes later and smirks at the red staining your cheeks.

"I-I should go now…see you tomorrow!" You stand up and try to retreat from Hiruma's room and to Mamori's room. Hiruma watched your retreating forum as he smiled knowingly to himself when you disappeared from his sight.

As soon as you're sure that you're far away from Hiruma and his antics. You wandered towards Mamori's room intent on spending the night in her room as everyone suspects. Sadly things don't work the way you want it to, seeing as Mamori was sharing her room with Sena.

You sighed and exited Mamori's room. You began to slowly make your way back to Hiruma's room. Upon entering you noticed that Hiruma was still up and watched when Hiruma beamed brightly patting a spot on his bed. Sulking quietly you made your way over to Hiruma and crawled in. Once you did he wrapped his arms around your waist and you sighed contently; soon after you drifted off to a blissful state of sleep.

-Early on the Next Morning-

You got up early and planned to slip out of Hiruma's room before anyone took notice that you did NOT stay with Mamori. You'd find a way to lie and say that you did anyways. After your shower and what not you slid out of the bathroom. Then you began to exit Hiurma's room when you noticed Hiruma was still asleep.

Sort of funny since normally he would've been up before you practicing. Smiling to yourself, you walked over to Hiruma's side and leaned down placing a kiss on his forehead before pulling the covers up and exited. Once you left, Hiruma sat up and smiled to himself.

-Later-

"COME ON SENA~!" you were riding along side Sena shouting words of encouragement to the small brown haired boy when suddenly the stone was taken away by a motorcycle. You and Sena flail running after the gang of motorcyclists in order to retrieve the stone. Sena notice the gang's hideout and ran to there whilst you followed. Upon arriving both of you realized something.

"We're separated from everyone…" stated Sena. You glance at your surroundings and paled slightly. The place was a messed up junk yard littered with parts of motorcycle engines and parts.

"What is this terrible place!!" Sena cried

You were scared out of your wits as a giant man with this huge beard sauntered over.

-Mamori's POV-

You didn't see Sena or Akane anywhere. You began to worry over it as you stride over to the boys who were pushing the truck.

"Hey, have you guys seen Sena or Akane?" you began worriedly. The guys shrugged signaling that they didn't know. Your frown deepened as you made you way towards the front.

"Hiruma, Monta-kun, Yuki-san, have you seen Sena or Akane?"

Doburoku patted your shoulder and answered, "They went to retrieve something Sena lost." You nodded a bit relived that someone actually knew.

"They'll be back sooner or later fucking manajerk. Now mind your own fucking business and get back to the truck," said Hiruma. Turning around you made your way back to the truck unaware of the scowl set on Hiruma's face at the disappearance of Akane.

-Sena's POV-

Your legs were shaking as you stared up at the gigantic man. Honestly you had never seen anyone so big and tall besides Otawara-san. Though you knew him, and he wasn't as scary as these men seemed. The man began walking towards you as you trembled.

"Hey kid…."
