Word of the day: Tapeworm
Pairings: Ikkyu/Sena
When Unsui requested Sena to wait for him until practice was over, he didn't quite mean her waiting inside his school where hormonal, lonely boys roamed about, openly staring at her with their impure eyes, mentally undressing her. The filthy mongrels.
Ikkyu would be quick to agree on that, especially when the football players were watching her with those hungry, perverted eyes as the young girl was so damn innocent, so damn unaware of the monstrosity she had stepped into. The filthy mongrels indeed. Poor girl…
Wait a damn minute—why does Unsui need Sena to wait on him? It…it couldn't be…It couldn't be that Sena and Unsui were…
"Oni dating!" Ikkyu cried, holding his head and violently rocking back and forth. The other members watched him with concern. "No! No!"
"Unsui," Sena called out to the older Kongo twin, and then her shoulders slumped as she saw the younger Kongo twin. "Ach, and Agon."
Unsui stifled a laugh as Agon frowned and growled out, "What do ya want, trash?"
"Oh, well, I was just wondering if Unsui was done with practice," she said simply.
"I'm afraid it'll take a while, Sena," Unsui said, smiling apologetically.
"No, that's fine. Sometimes when the Devil Bats practice Hiruma-san likes to train us until it's pass evening, and my mom often scolds me for coming home so late," Sena assured, laughing. "Well, in Agon's case, lounging around than do actual practice."
"What did you say?" Agon snapped. "Do you not see this uniform that I'm wearing, chibi trash?"
"I must have overlooked it."
Ikkyu could not believe it. Not one bit. Sena…Sena, the girl who he loves, the girl who he had fallen drop-dead hard for, the girl who he would catch a million stars for, his Sena addressed to the scariest duo on earth without any formality. Nope. None.
No 'Unsui-san'. No 'Agon-san'. Not even adding kun or chan or dono or sama. Just nothing. As if…As if…Oh, dared he says it, as if they were love-love interests! Husbands and wives often address to each other with just by their names…right? So that would mean—that would mean the trio has gone to that point!
"No," Ikkyu wailed. "No…!"
"Jeez, Ikkyu, what is wrong with you?" Yamabushi sighed. "You're acting so weird."
"I-it can't be! It just can't!"
Everyone gave the boy a glance, wondering what had happened to him. Perhaps a tapeworm crawled up inside his brain and infiltrated his sanity. There was no other explanation of the cause of his oddity.
"Is…is Ikkyu-san okay?" Sena asked, wary.
"The maggot's always been a freak," Agon snorted.
"Agon," Unsui admonished.
"Well it's certainly true."
"Maybe I'll go talk to him," Sena decided.
"Don't get too close, Sena-chan, or the tapeworm might hitch a ride on you," Yamabushi said.
"Or his stupidity. It's rather contagious," muttered another teammate.
"Ano, Ikkyu-san, are you okay?" She neared the boy who seemed to have a psychological fit.
He stopped mumbling to himself and blinked at Sena. "H-huh?"
"You…seem to be in distress about something." She pressed her lips together, her eyebrows furrowed. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
'Argh…why does she have to be so oni cute?' Ikkyu cried out inwardly. Of course, it was his own delusions regarding to how he saw Sena as an average girl initiatively, or that he finally opened his eyes to see the real beauty about the Eyeshield. As he continued to stare at her, she suddenly became more and more beautiful and mused that a blush would simply look amazing on her lightly golden skin.
Sena raised an eyebrow when he started drooling. "U-uh…" She poked his forehead. "I-Ikkyu-san?"
He awoke from his stupor. "Huh? W-wha?"
'Did he fall asleep on me?' Sena thought. 'Am I that boring that even within a second they fall asleep on me?'
'Argh…I must've looked oni lame', Ikkyu cried out inwardly. 'Now how is Sena-chan supposed to like me?'
"Okay, that does it. I'm going to call an ambulance," Unsui said, dialing the number.
That day, they took Ikkyu away due to tapeworms.
