FASH: I don't have to much to say today, just thanks for the reviews! I think there's a fair amount of OOC-ness in this chapter, but meh, what can you do?

Sena felt almost lighter than air as he made his way out of the stadium, sure he was exhausted, but they'd won, they had actually won! The whole team was in high spirits as they made their way towards their bus, but Sena was feeling exceptionally energetic and before he boarded the bus he informed Hiruma that he felt up to running back to Deimon. The quarterback had given him a slightly concerned look before asking. "Are you sure? You know what happens when you over exert yourself." Sena had chuckled a bit and had waved off his concern, he felt far to sensational to be cooped up on a bus.

"Alright." Hiruma had said. "But if we arrive at Deimon and you're not there within fifteen minutes I'm forcing everyone to search for your prone body."

So Sena had taken off back towards the stadium at full speed, running through crowds of people with practiced ease until he was finally on the other side of the giant building. Sena just couldn't stop smiling and was practically lost in his own world, which is perhaps why he didn't notice his own fatigue slowly building up.

"Oi! Sena!" The brunette snapped out of his self induced stupor and saw Mizumachi waving at him, Kakei standing silently beside the blonde. Sena began slowing his pace as he approached them, feeling oddly numb, he became vaguely aware that this was sometimes how he felt if he ran too much. And then everything faded to black.

"Uwah!" Mizumachi flailed forward to grab onto the falling boy, quickly casting a nervous look at Kakei when Sena had been secured in his arms. "Kakei, is he okay?" The blue eyed boy gave Sena a quick once over before nodding. "He's probably just passed out from exhaustion." "Eh?! Is that normal?" Kakie shrugged and began walking, much to Mizumachi's dislike. "Oi! Where are you going? We've got to find his teammates!" "His teammates are probably on a bus right now, he probably thought he'd be able to make it all the way back to Deimon without a hitch. But now that this has happened, I guess you'll just have to carry him back to Deimon."

Mizumachi stared at Kakei and slowly looked down at the boy in his arms a slight flush coming to rest upon his cheeks. "Carry him?" Kakei held back a sigh. "Yes, carry him."

Hiruma growled and glanced down at his watch for the fifth time in the last minute. He cursed under his breath. "The fucking shrimp has five minutes, he better not have passed out in front of a car or something." "Hiruma-kun! Don't say things like that, Sena has a lot more stamina than he used to, he'll be fine." Mamori replied lowly as cheers and shouts of celebration went on in the clubhouse, but that didn't make Hiruma feel any more at ease.

Sena stirred, eyes slowly fluttering open only to squint at the vast amount of light shining into them. 'Where am I?'

"Ah, are you awake?" Sena flinched, turning his head and staring up at the concerned face of Mizumachi Kengo in shock. "Mizumachi-san?!" Sena sputtered, flailing around in Mizumachi's arms as he tried to grasp the situation.

"You shouldn't move around too much." "Um, sorry, it's just I'm a bit confused as to what's going on..." "You passed out." "Eh? Really?" Sena bit his lip and blushing. "I guess I don't know my own limits." He chuckled a bit before nervously looking up at Mizumachi. "You can put me down now, I can walk the rest of the way." "Are you sure?" "Yeah."

Mizumachi set Sena on the ground carefully and the brunette was quick to survey the area around them, slightly shocked to see that they were already fairly close to his school.

"Wow, you carried me all the way here?" Sena looked up at the blonde in awe. "You're really strong." The tall boy let out a laugh and ruffled the brunette's hair. "Yeah, but you don't weigh too much so it wasn't that hard." Sena smiled up at him. "Thank you for bringing me this far." He bowed lowly and turned to walk away.

"Wait! I'll walk you the rest of the way there, just incase you pass out again or something like that." Sena was very doubtful that would happen again, but nevertheless he allowed Mizumachi to walk him back to school, thanking him for his kindness.

Hiruma glanced at his watch one last time before stomping to the school gates to take a look at the street before he rounded up the entire team to go Sena Hunting, he glanced to the left, then the right, his eyes widened minutely and a devilish grin broke out on his face.

"Hiruma-san, is everything okay?" Sena called out, slightly worried about the look on his captain's face.

"Oh yeah, just peachy." The demonic blonde chuckled and locked eyes with Mizumachi. "Everything's just fine."

Mizumachi wasn't sure if he should be confused or terrified about the expression on Hiruma's face, but he decided not to dwell on it as Sena bowed to him with a flush on his cheeks, thanking him once more for escorting him back to Deimon.

"No problem! Just don't overdo it anymore!" Mizumachi replied as he turned to make his way back to Kyoshin, holding back a shudder when he felt Hiruma's eyes follow his movements.

"Welcome back fuckin' shrimp, just in time to. Wonder why you let that lineman walk you all the way here, you could have been late." Sena blushed and rubbed the back of his head, chuckling nervously as he followed Hiruma back to the clubhouse. 'Why is Hiruma-san smiling like that?'
