Well it took a while to get the blood off the wall...or rather the door frame. When poor Ishimaru fell over he managed to give himself a rather nasty bump. Somehow Suzuna couldn't help but laugh her ass off at the sight. Bout time someone gave a reaction. Her favorite though was when the last two entered. Jyuumonji and Monta both looked at Sena and Hiruma, then looked awkwardly at eachother, then both snapped their eyes away and started blushing. No one seemed to understand why though. Togano and Kuroki just gave Sena one of those 'You poor bastard' sort of looks, Daikichi didn't seem to notice, Taki seemed confused (Not that anyone was suprised), and Yukimitsu tripped over Ishimaru. All in all Suzuna got quite a few laughs that day.

Atleast the following day went far better...is what Sena would've liked to say. In actuality it just got worse. Hiruma picked him up to go to school and had his arm around Sena the whole way there...Sena's parents seemed fond of Sena having such a caring upperclassman. If only they knew...

"Ah...H-Hiruma..." Sena asked rather nervously. He jumped when Hiruma snapped a rather stern look at him. What had he done?! It was still first thing in the morning! He'd only tried to ask him!

His answer came soon enough however. "We're going out. Call me Youichi," he said simply.

BAM! Just like that Sena went bright red up to his ears. Too much...no one called Hiruma 'Youichi'...but being the obedient little runningback he was he complied. "You...Youichi..." he began, catching the big toothy grin from Hiruma. If anything else it only made him blush more. "I...was just wondering if you heard anything from Monta..." he said slowly.

The grin fell a little, clearly annoyed that Sena's first concern was for his best friend. Well Hiruma would have to fix that sooner or later. "Pff, probably walking with Jyuumonji today," he said in an uncaring tone.

"E...EH?!"

"What, you didn't see their little show yesterday?"

Yep, there it was again. Sena's brain just rebroke...wait...is that a wor--nevermind! Either way Sena gave Hiruma a doubtfounded look. "Y...y'mean with the...the note?" he said slowly, sounding like he wasn't quite that eager to accept that. Monta and Jyuumonji? It wasn't like he'd get mad at Monta or anything...and really, there were far worse choices than Jyuumonji...

"What else would I mean?" he asked, pulling out a picture of Monta looking up at Jyuumonji, mouth open, blushing...it did look rather suspi--waitasecond...

"Ah...w-where did you get that?" he squeaked in a rather curious tone.

Hiruma simply shrugged and put it back his pocket, leaving Sena's curiosity to just continue. "I got it from a camera, it's what's they're usually used for," he said in a sarcastic tone. Pff...with Sena paying more attention to Jyuumonji and Monta...bah! He didn't like it. Not that he couldn't take Sena's attention back...but really, he'd gone through the trouble to get Jyuumonji to walk with Monta to get him away in the first place. Wait...show of hands; who didn't see that one coming? Just Sena? Good.

"Y...yea...but we shouldn't bother them since it's just between them," he said slowly.

Hiruma rolled his eyes but didn't bother to argue. But hell, might as well keep himself entertained on the walk. How you ask? Well his hand just casually slipped from Sena's hip to his rather firm bottom. Most likely so firm from all the running he did.

Sena yelped and leapt in suprise after a moment or two. "H-Hir--" he broke of again when Hiruma gave him a curious look. Nope...nope he still couldn't call him Youichi. "You...your hand," he said after a moment.

"Hm?" Hiruma asked curiously, just giving him another firm squeeze, getting another squeak from him.

He continued blushing but couldn't manage to say anything. Quite frankly he would've thouht that hand would move once they got to the school...but no. Nope, his hand stayed firmly in place. Well maybe by the time they got to the club house...nope again. Actully when Hiruma sat to go over attack plans he once again pulled Sena into his lap, choosing to ignore all those 'you poor bastard' looks Sena got. Even Musashi seemed to give him that sort of look.

Fortunately though Hiruma let him go when he got to class, but he had held onto him as they walked to the class. Poor little Sena, every last person in his class had started giving him those strange looks. Half thought it was funny, half of course thought it was gross. The majority of the girls thought it was adorable in some odd way. Perhaps that kinky little taboo was what they liked about it.

Needless to say Hiruma still didn't mind. He got a few strange looks as he calmly went to his class. Maybe he would have to pull out the threat book. He was certain to do so if any of the idiots heckled his little Sena. Only Hiruma was allowed to do that, if anyone else did it he would be sure to make their life a nightmare.

"So is he blackmailing you into this or something?" Jyuumonji asked quietly, leaning foreward towards Sena.

Sena went bright red and shook his head furiously. "It's really weird, isn't it?" he asked sheepishly.

Jyuumonji raised his eyebrows to give Sena a rather dull look. "Anyone with Hiruma is weird."

Continuing his usual sheepish nature Sena gave a slight giggle. "Y-yea, I suppose..."

Catching that nervous look Jyuumonji leaned back in his seat and folded his arms behind his head. "Good luck with him. I guess Mamori already told you to run to her if he scares you off?"

Again there was an awkward fidget. "P-please don't tell her," he squeaked. "She doesn't know yet..."

Oh yes...because that worked so well with hiding the Eyeshield little factor from her. If he wasn't mistaken she wound up crying. Well hopefully she wouldn't find out in quite such an awkward way this time. "Actually I think that one requires more luck," he sighed.
