~THE GAME~

Usagi, Hitomi, Rei, and Shampoo walked through the stadium football field ten minutes before the game was to start. "They there are!" Shampoo cried out after spying Duo, Van, Merle, Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru decked out in gold and red in the first row.

Hotaru jumped up on the seat and waved. "Usagi! Rei! Hitomi! Shampoo!" She yelled. The four girls filed in between Hotaru and Van.

Haruka eyed Usagi and Hitomi's track clothes, red tear away pants with gold and black stripes and a white tank top with a little cartoon warrior holding up a sword, or a ken. Usagi was sporting braided pigtails. "No time to change?" She asked.

Usagi grinned. "We thought we'd show our support with our clothes on!"

"And she's still hot and sweaty!" Duo winked. Haruka shot him an evil look.

"So what did Akane say?" Usagi asked eagerly. An impish smile found it's way to her lips.

Duo grinned just as silly. "She said yes!" He spilled out.

"That's all he's been able to talk about!" Quatre grumbled behind them.

"Quatre! Ami! Heero! Trowa! Makoto? I didn't notice you guys!" Rei exclaimed.

"Thanks Rei." Makoto rolled her eyes.

"Shampoo thought Makoto was busy tonight" Shampoo asked Makoto.

"Well… I didn't tell you guys that I was going with Trowa because Minako would have made a big deal out if it." Makoto blushed. Trowa smiled from beside her.

Usagi nodded agreeably. She definitely knew the horrors Minako was capable of. She looked up through the stands and saw all the Ken High fans. A mop of red hair caught her eye. Usagi bounced up to stand on her seat. "GENE! JIM!" She motioned for them.

Gene and Jim, followed by a girl with wild dark hair and dark eyes sat next to Heero. Heero grunted out a greeting.

"Hey guys, this is Melfina. Mel, this is everyone." Gene introduced the girl.

"Hello." She bowed.

"Welcome to the chaos." Hitomi greeted.

"Hey! There's Akane and Minako. Doesn't Akane look hott in that skirt?" Duo drooled. He was greeted with odd looks.

"Who's that down there talking to Minako?" Van asked peering down at the boy among the cheerleaders.

"Oh my, isn't that—" Ami was the first to begin.

"That sure looks like—" Hitomi chimed in.

"It appears to be—" Van began.

"Dude! No way! It's—" Duo laughed.

"RYOGA?" Shampoo yelled the loudest in her Chinese accent.

The whole group, all eighteen of them, stood in utter, and complete, shock.

Ryoga gave Minako a kiss on the cheek and ran up the stairs to the seats. "Hey guys!" He greeted enthusiastically.

He was greeted with eighteen stares.

"Okay, now you're all creeping me out." Ryoga shuddered before sitting next to Duo.

"DUDE! Are you and Minako… an… item?"

"Shampoo not know you like girls besides Akane."

"Quite unpredictable."

"It's about time! Minako's been drooling over you for weeks!"

Rei turned on her fellow Senshi and princess. "YOU KNEW?" Rei shrieked.

"I knew Minako liked him, but she asked me not to tell—"

"HAS THAT EVER STOPPED HER?" Rei yelled again.

"Calm down Rei." Makoto rubbed her ear.

"Yes, Shampoo feel she go deaf soon."

"GUYS! The game is starting!" Heero muttered and took their attention off Ryoga and to other matters to the field.

The toss was off, and Ken High had the ball first.

Trunks breathed evenly under his helmet as he took his position behind Wufei. He could feel the animosity of the other team beating down at him and that big guy, Kento, looked like he could pack a mean punch.

As Trunks said those magical words that sent the ball from Wufei's crouched position into his waiting arms he hoped that Ranma could withstand one of the Assassin's tackles. Then he smiled at the thought of his defense, it was quite pitiful but Gohan wouldn't let a fully functioning Cell by him, no less a football player.

Trunks firmly grasped the ball and took a few quick steps backward watching Ranma haul ass towards the end zone. Out of the corner of his eye he watched that Tamahome barrel down on him. Trunks threw the ball with just enough strength to send it Ranma, he was careful to not put to much strength in it, he was sure America didn't want a football dropping out of the middle of nowhere from the direction of the Pacific Ocean.

Seconds after the ball left Trunks' hands Tamahome hit him like a sack full of huge Irish potatoes. Trunks crumpled to the ground under him in surprise. 'How the hell is a human that strong?' Trunks questioned himself.

Tamahome stood up expecting the quarter back to have something broken. Trunks leaped to his feet in bewilderment. "Bloody hell! You sure pack one hell of a tackle there." He commented.

Tamahome gaped at his in surprise. Seifer wasn't going to like this, he had specifically ordered the quarter back taken out, and by the looks of it, and this was going to be harder than he thought. Trunks should have a broken wrist, and he looked far from pain.

Down the field Ranma sure was glad for all that running Pop made him do. He had caught the ball easily, of course, and charged off towards the end zone. But that big guy, most certainly not fat, and fast too, was gaining on him. 'Must be that Kento guy, if I remember correctly' Ranma thought as he put on an extra burst of speed.

BAM!

Ranma, for a moment, wondered how the hell he got to the ground, but the weight of Kento was good evidence that he had indeed been tackled. And that just wasn't right. "How the hell did that happen?" Ranma asked out loud as he made sure of his firm grip around the ball.

"You were to slow, girly." Kento laughed as he jumped off his prey.

"GIRLY?" Ranma roared flying to his feet. "GIRLY? WHO YOU CALLING GIRL, PIG BOY?" Ranma shrieked.

"Why you--"

"Kento, enough!" Rowen ordered. Kento obeyed and drew back smirking.

Not long after, Ranma scored a touch down, he proceeded to sing "Twilight Zone" by 2 Limited and shake his hip like he was an exotic dancer.

Up in the stands Shampoo sighed dreamily. "Ranma so handsome when dances."

Gene laughed before turning to Usagi, "at least we know he can dance! No wallflower-ing for Usagi!" He teased.

The group laughed.

Somewhere else in the stands…

"GRRR! HOW LONG IS THIS BLASTED GAME?"

"Vegeta! You should be happy to watch your son playing football, that would make any OTHER father BURSTING with PRIDE. GOT IT?"

"Fine Woman." He grumbled.

"Humph."

"WOOOHOOOO! GO GOHAN! YEAH!" Goku cheered.

"Honey, he isn't even on the field." Chichi sighed.

"But he WILL be."

"Yeah! My big brother is the BEST!"

"Not as good as MY future self!"

"I dunno Trunks, my brother did defeat Cell, while you almost died."

"That wasn't me! That was my future self! He's stronger now."

"Whatever you say Trunks." Goten scratched his head.

Back on the field that ball sailed through the goal posts like a bird out of water adding their points 7-0, in favor of the Ken Senshi.

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Gohan jumped up from the sidelines and pulled flip in the air.

"Save that energy Son!" Aisha barked.

But on the other side of the field, things were not going as well.

"What the hell was that?" Seifer howled.

"I believe it was a touchdown." Anubis replied sarcastically.

"But, HOW?" He cried again. "Squall's plan was flawless! FLAWLESS!"

"Apparently, we underestimated." Ryo commented.

"SQUALL!"

"…What?"

"HOW DID WE UNDER ESTIMATE THE KEN HIGH LOSER SENSHI?"

Squall gave Seifer a sour look. "We didn't, we under estimated a few players. The same kids we ran into a while back. Something isn't right about them. Watch that Gohan like a Quezacotl, understood?"

The offensive line nodded and saluted to their captain.

"Squall is right, the rest of the team seem to be depending heavily upon those guys." Sage commented.

And so the game went on. The Ken Senshi's defensive line ran out onto the field, same as the Katana Assassins offensive line. Both sides of Cheerleaders, the blue and silver Assassins and the red and gold Senshi, screamed and cheered loudly.

Gohan watched the rivals as they moved in almost slow motion, but that was his Saiya-jinn senses kicking in. He dimly heard his father in the crowd cheering him on. But his eyes were kept on Squall, he watched him twist and throw, almost majestically, to Tasuki. Gohan had his target.

Gohan was careful not to run too fast and give away his heritage, but he chased him down like his father would a plate of ribs. Gohan tackled Tasuki good, he never saw him coming, and Zell's pitiful attempt to block him earned him a spot on the ground as well. Gohan felt a dog pile forming as Assassins leaped upon him.

But the whistle rung true, Tasuki hadn't made it to the line; he was off by thirty yards.

And so the game continued on, The Assassin's had managed to sneak by Gohan with one touch down, but he never let them by after that. Kento, Cye, Anubis, and Rowen made it their mission to not let Ranma or anyone past them. And, unfortunately, they succeeded. Not even a field kick made it through, no one saw Squall's quick aero spells or Trunk's faster than the eye-can-see-jumps.

When Halftime rolled around the score was 7-7.

"All right troops, here's the plan," Aisha pointed on the chalkboard. "Gohan is our main defense man, but we can't count on him forever." Coach Weizer nodded in agreement. "Trunks will go here, Wufei will get here, and Ranma will find his way here. Trunks will fake a throw to Ranma but Wufei will miraculously have found his way here and catch the ball and score a touchdown. Any questions?"

A sea of blank faces greeted her.

"Uh… Are we the X's or the O's?" Gohan asked.

Aisha turned a deadly shade of purple. "WE ARE THE X'S!"

"What? I've been following the O's! Damn!" Ranma swore.

Aisha sighed. "Forget it, go out there and follow what ever Wufei says in the huddle." She sighed.

"YEAH!" The team bellowed before racing back on field.

Back in the stands…

"Okay, hot dogs for all! Courtesy of Quatre's never ending wallet." Usagi bounced back into her seat with two hot dogs and a large mountain dew.

Rei look horrified. "Usagi! Do you know what they DO to those hot dogs?" She asked in mortification.

Usagi look puzzled. "Cook them?"

"NO! They drop them on the ground! They are stored with the rats! They cover them in relish so you can't tell the relish from the fungus growing on it!" She shrieked.

Usagi stopped chewing and looked down at her hot dog.

Duo did the same. "Still tastes pretty damn good." Duo shrugged before finishing off his hotdog.

Usagi shrugged and followed suit.

Rei moaned in defeat.

They turned their attention back to the field as the players ran back out.

The second half was very similar to the first half. No one got through.

"I don't think those guys are human!" Wufei wheezed in their last huddle.

"No kidding, no matter how much I tackle Tasuki, or even Squall, they bounce back up. Squall has a blue energy field around him, it's weird." Gohan added.

Not too many yards away…

"I agree with y'all, that Gohan is somethin' else, think he'll trade to our team?" Irvine joked. "Y'all need to work a bit harder this season." He lectured.

"Well, IRVINE, not ONE of your kicks have gone through those shiny metal poles over there, what's YOUR problem?" Zell asked, his tattoo seemed to burn with frustration under his helmet.

"Now that has NEVE R happened before, last Saturday ALL my kicks went in. Then again that team was full of pussies." Irvine mused.

"I don't care WHAT it takes, we WILL win, with only one minute left on the board!" Seifer roared.

"YEAH!" The team cheered on.

"We cannot fail." Squall agreed.

The huddles broke and the teams assembled on the line.

The hot and dynamic red and gold drove into the cold and unyielding blue and silver, the fury of both could be turned into poetry, but, alas, this author is quite un-poetic.

Trunks didn't throw that ball to anyone; he barged straight into the line of men towards the end zone. Kento fell under his Saiya-jinn strength stunned.

Squall and Seifer watched in horror as Trunks neared the end zone, the whole defensive line hanging off of him.

"Squall! Do something!" Seifer urged.

"Break!" Squall muttered the spell as he cast it on Trunks. It had not effect, Trunks ran into the end zone and threw the ball down so hard, that instead of bouncing, and it stuck in the ground.

Squall and Seifer looked on in disbelief. This had never happened. Never had the Assassins lot a game. But they lost, to the Ken Defeat-able Senshi no less.

"…How…" Squall asked.

"Man, this is gonna look horrible in the next issue of Tokyo Girl Magazine, huh?" Zell cracked.

Squall shot a glare so murderous, it could have stopped Bahamut in the middle of a Mega Flare. "…Whatever."

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ranma leaped with joy into a back flip and danced his 'touchdown' dance.

Gohan hugged Trunks laughing in glee. "That was awesome!" He laughed.

"You weren't so shabby yourself, Gohan the Brick!" Trunks tackled his friend.

"Whose Manly NOW?" Wufei roared sweeping off into the group glomping session.

"We WON!" Usagi leaped into the air and hugged Rei. "WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON!" She cried over and over again.

"…Ack…Usagi, I know, I was standing right here…GET OFF OF ME!" Rei cried but only encouraged Usagi to hug tighter.

Akane and Minako were a whirl of pom-poms and high kicks as they screamed in joy. "WE DID IT!"

The stands started to pour out onto the field to congratulate the team. Duo swept Akane into a bone crushing bear hug. Akane, instead of reacting with her normal "PERVERT!" kissed him on the lips. Duo looked surprised, then happy, then collapsed onto the field bringing Akane with him in a kiss.

Ryoga was lost to the crowd and wandered aimlessly. Usagi and Minako were now hugging and laughing, Aisha even kissed Mr. Weizer in the excitement, turning him into a pile of pudding.

"This… did not happen." Tamahome uttered.

"Fuck!" Zell swatted the air with bridled anger.

"Bastards." Sage muttered quietly.

"They will pay for this!" Seifer growled.

"What do you have in mind?" Cye asked raising an eyebrow.

Seifer smirked one of his evil little smirks. "Well…"
