If Only...
Did you ever think about my
side of the story?
I pushed my way through the
crowd of excited girls clustering to get an autograph. Sheesh. They're
pathetic. Just like those Digifools I spent practically all last night
fighting. Hmph!
I treaded slowly down the
metal stands, relieved that those stupid girls had given up. I strode smoothly
over to Coach Bryson saying, "Sorry I couldn't be here earlier, Coach.
I had another interview." "That's fine Ken, we've been doing fine so far."
he replied. "Now get out there and keep me proud of the Green Tamachis!"
I ran out onto the field
and saw a familiar looking maroon haired kid doing the same. Huh? Could
that be? No, it couldn't be. I did a quick double take just to make sure.
It was that Davis! I'll beat him for the Digital World, I'll
beat him in soccer. Hah! That'll show that clown.
I glanced at the stands again.
Sure enough, there were his stupid friends. Tai, Kari, TK, Cody, and Yolei.
Hmm? Yolei seemed to be staring at me and saying something to the rest
of them. I turned away swiftly before she could catch me staring
at her. "Did you see that! He looked right at us!" she cried. Too
late. Oh well, I'll get 'em in the Digital World tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tweeet! blew the
ref's whistle. The signal to start playing, as well as the crowd's signal
to start yabbering away. It was Davis' team's kick off, but I managed to
dodge several of them and get the ball. "Wow, did you catch that move?!?"
I heard someone yell. Sounded like Tai, but I didn't take the risk to see
who it was. "He's fantastic!" cried another person. "Back off, I saw him
first!" shouted a voice that I instantly recognized as Yolei. I pounded
up the field with the ball, not bothering to pass to another team mate.
I could do this, no problem. I laughed quietly, then forced the ball into
the goal, punctuating it with a grunt. The ball hit the net. Tweet!
"Goal scored by the Rocket!" the ref yelled. "Houston, we have a problem."
Davis said from behind me. Bet he doesn't even know where Houston is. From
the stands, I could hear "He's totally amazing, am I dreaming?", "Would
you like me to pinch you again?", "Yolei Ichijouji! Ken and Yolei
Ichijouji!" and "Now that Ken's tied up the game, I wonder how it's going
to affect Davis' confidence." God, does she really think she has a chance
with me? I deserve better than that runt. And after hearing that
last comment, that was enough for me to gather that in the first half Davis'
ego was bigger than Tai's hair.
Next play, I scored another
goal, much to Davis' amazement. "Whoa! How'd he do that?" was his response.
"Davis isn't looking too good out there." was Tai's.
The play after that, Davis'
team was going heavy on the offence, trying to steal the ball off me, especially
Davis. However, with too much offence, there was no defence, and I ran
around them with ease. "Wow, Ken's running circles around them, it's like
Davis isn't even there!" I heard. With practically no defence except for
the goalie, I put the ball in the goal easily.
Then next play, I heard Tai
speaking again. The first part was slightly blurred in my ears, but the
second part I heard loud and clear. "Ken has more than just skill, he leads
his team like a general leads an army!" I smiled and kept running. "This
guy isn't just good, he's great!" came a voice behind me. I kicked the
ball to another teammate, who ran ahead. "Stick to the play I wrote everybody,
we've got 'em on the run! Al, go back to the midfielders! MOVE UP!" I yelled
across the field.
Another member of the team
kicked it back to me for the goal. I went ahead to take it when something
stopped me. I didn't realize what it was until I was on the ground and
Davis was in front of me with the ball. "Have a nice trip Ken, see
ya next fall!" Tai yelled from the sideline. Time was up, I heard
the ref's whistle. "Time's run out! And the Green Tamachi led by Ken the
Rocket Ichijouji wins the game, 9 to 1!" he yelled, amid cheers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I said a little something
to Davis and shook hands with him, now walking home sulkily I can't remember
what I said. From the other side of the street and going in the other direction
were those pathetic little Digidestined. "You know what, Ken called me
his worthy adversary!" Davis was bragging. Oh. So that's what I said to
him. I glanced at the purple bruise Davis had left on my leg and scowled
angrily. Davis is going to get it!

Now that I think about it,
there's not that much fic in it. Oh well, though I'd share it with
you anyway.
