Author's Notes: Soccer game! *del-chan struggles on a cheerleading outfit* "Grunts..Miaka! I can't fit into my uniform!" BTW, I don't have a clue as to how soccer really works so forgive me.

Chapter 2: Go Seiryuu!

Yui wished she didn't have to go but Miaka persuaded her to at least, take a look. "Whatever.." she mumbled as she put on a dress. Miaka had told her to wear one of her clothes. A yellow spaghetti-strapped top and a white skirt. The cheerleader was already in the soccer field. Because she was a personal friend, Yui was able to sit with the team, instead of the stuffy bleachers.

"I'm really excited! I hope that Suzaku wins!" Miaka said as she started to warm-up with the rest of the squad. Yui nodded and waited for the game to start. What was so great about soccer anyway? The game started in five minutes and the two teams appeared. "You know what, Miaka? Our team name semmes really...ugh?" Yui remarked as she saw the huge banner that read, soccer gods. Miaka chuckled. "Well, take a look at the opponent's banner then." she responded. Yui looked for the other team's banner and laughed in surprise. "Soccer seishis?"

Suzaku and Seiryuu nodded to each other and eyed their opponents carefully. They really had nothing to worry about except for the two captains, namely Tamahome and Nakago. The two were really an awesome pair and were as strong as Suzaku and Seiryuu. None of them have met anywhere else except on the soccer field. The field was their battle area.

"Good luck to your team Suzaku." Tamahome said, holding out his hand as a sign of friendship. Suzaku nodded and shook his hand. Seiryuu and Nakago didn't deal with the ritual and just stared each other down. Neither one was interested in shaking hands. "Let the game begin!" the crowd shouted as the players went to their respective places.

So far, the game was 0 to 0. No one has scored yet. Miaka was going crazy with her cheerleaders. They were a little too hyper from eating too much chocolate. Yui found herself motivated as well and was now jumping up and down in excitement. On the field, Seiryuu found himself getting a bit tired. Nakago was a tough opponent. He shot a look a Suzaku who was a bit tired as well. This was not good. But then, both Tamahome and Nakago were as tired as they were.

The game was heating up when Nakago had the ball. He ran across the field and was close to the goal when Seiryuu appeared from behind. The latter tried to steal the ball but Nakago's feet were really fast. The blue- haired player assumed that he was about to kick the the ball into goal so he ran forward to counter. However, Nakago kicked the ball to Tamahome and the latter made it to goal.

"Oh no!" Yui cried out as Tamahome succeeded in making goal. Seiryuu gritted his teeth. The game was really an exciting one as the soccer gods made a goal as well. By this time, Miaka was almsot hoarse. But she wasn't about to give up. Besides, the other cheerleading team seemed to be challenging her. She glared at the captain of the soccer seishis' cheerleading squad. Soi.

"Come on people!" Miaka shouted. "Soi is challenging us!" The rest of the team nodded and continued to cheer for their team. On the other side of the field, a pink-haired woman was cheering as well. She was Soi and was a very good gymnast and manipulator. "Miaka Yuki, I am way better than you." she muttered.

Seiryuu didn't know if he was going crazy or something. For some reason, a smile won't leave his face. Suzaku was grinning like a chesire cat as well. "I'm actually having the time of my life!" Seiryuu shouted to his best friend. Tamahome and Nakago were grinning as well. "You're a good opponent." Nakagi remarked as he got near Seiryuu.

The game continued with the soccer ball going out of control. One anonymous guy kicked the ball so stupidly that instead of going to the goal, it flew in the air and was aiming fast at Yui. The blonde couldn't move as her feet became stuck on the grass. If it hit her, she was going to have a really badly bruised face. Thankfully, someone stopped the ball.

"Whoa!" the crowd exclaimed. Yui knelt down beside her rescuer. The game stopped for a moment. Seiryuu looked up to find eyes staring back at his own. He was so dizzy. He touched his head and felt something trickling down. It was blood. "I hit my head on.." The blue-haired hero assumed that the impact on the ground was too much. Medics crowded around him and took him on a stretcher.

Yui came along with him as they rushed to the nearest hospital. Suddenly, a large pink pig was seen floating in the sky. "Hey! I'm not large! I'm just very tall for my age!" Superboink said haughtily.
