Song Playing: 1985

Theme 85: Hate

Hiruma had made quite a few enemies in his relatively short life span. It really wasn't all that surprising. Really it's hard not to make enemies when you threatened people with their innermost private secrets and prized possessions. To go along with the sea of enemies there was a lot of hate, which was pretty much just stating the obvious.

He had acquired them through many different means. Some were envious of his abilities- both physical and mental. That had been the case with the leader of the Zokugaku team. He was hated for the fact that is team had the will to win, the determination not to give up, and the mere fact that they gave it their all and followed him without question. It was envy, pure and simple that made the chameleon like teen hate him.

There was allow a lot of people who didn't hate him exactly, it was more a mix of fear and resentment. As for his enemies... well it would probably be a shorter list if he simply counted up his allies, which was pretty much those on the team. His enemies reached out to everyone else varying in degrees.

The school was a big enemy. The people in it were vast and numerous. He knew that the people he blackmailed there were no friends and if it wasn't for the fact that he was so powerful; they would turn on him in an instant.

Every other school with a football team and anyone associated with them were defiantly on the list. On his high list of enemies and hated list: standing proudly at number two was the Shinryuji Naga's ultimate player, Agon Kongo. He was violent, short tempered, and cruel. He had insulted him and was far too friendly with his damn manager. But even after all that he still wasn't the demonic quarterback's number one hated enemy and concern.

No, his number one was something that had haunted him and his football career since the start of middle school. It was something that was coming all too fast. It was something that had started to overwhelm him since his second year and was sure to have overpowered him if that damn girl hadn't come along and gotten recruited as a manager. It was something that he couldn't fight. No matter what he did it wasn't about to slow down but between him and his manager he was able to control it and use it to their advantage.

Time was now the enemy.
