stringer13: first eyeshield fic.

Summary: During the first Ojou game, after Sena ran into Sakuraba, if Shin would have won on the showdown on the last play what would have happened to Sena? Shin x Sena.

Sakuraba was just sent to the hospital after Eyeshield 21 ran into him when he came on the field. His fangirls were furious.

"How could you do that to Haruto-kun? You're an evil man." They yelled.

Sena was scared. He didn't need this right now. He was already in emmense pain thanks to Shin's spear tackle. He had hurt his back greatly. He knew if he got hit again, he might not be able to get back up. The final play was about to begin. Hiruma told him with only nine seconds left, there was only one play left. He also told him that no matter what there was no way they could win.

Shin was impressed with this Eyeshield 21. He knew that even though he wasn't much of an athelete, he had great legs. He almost got past him on many occasions. This man could be a gifted foot ball player with practice. He might even be able to top him in speed. Still, he wouldn't let him get by him.

The last play was about to begin.

Hiruma started to yell "Ya-ha! Hut! Hut!" he yelled. The linemen pushed hard against the Ojou White Knights. They had to hold them off for 0.5 seconds at the least, so Eyeshield 21 could get by. Hiruma had set them up so Sena could face Shin. Hiruma handed the ball off to Sena. He was going into the opening between Kurita and Satake. He barely got by because of the size of Otawara. He almost tackled him but Kurita was able to push him back.

Finally he got through and now it was just him and Shin. He was ahead of him by a few yards, but Shin was gaining on him fast. He did a side step when Shin went for a grab of his shirt. Shin then got in front of him, and Sena did a spin move. He just got back Shin but then Shin did something unexpected. He leaped at Sena with both his hands and tackled Sena to the ground.

Sena fell to the ground in intolerable pain. This time Shin's spear tackle got him directly. His football helmet fell off and his eyeshield boke and some of it fell in his eye. The crowd went silent when the boy known as eyeshield 21 coughed up blood. The whole team finally saw who was eyeshield 21. They were all shocked, especially Ishimaru and Mamori. Mamori saw Sena on the ground, coughing up blood and her eyes went teary. She just realized who eyeshield 21 was. She broke into tears. and ran on the field.

"Somebody get a stretcher." someone from the crowd yelled.

"Sena" yelled Mamori ran to him.

"Kobayakawa-kun" yelled the rest of the team worried about their team manager.

Shin looked shocked that his rival, was just a small young boy. He suddenly felt something he had never felt before. He felt guilt.

Two doctors came on the field and put him on a stretcher. They carried him to an ambulance with Mamori following crying. They put him in the ambulance and Mamori came in.

"What are you doing in here" one of the doctors asked annoyed. "We have to get this boy to the hospital immediatly."

"I'm coming also" she yelled stubbornly. "He's like a brother to me" she explained.

"Alright just be quiet. He needs to sleep." one of the doctors replied.

Then the audience and the teams left the fields. His team was stilled shocked of the identity of Eyeshield 21.

The White Knights left. They were all quiet of having two people injured. First Sakuraba Haruto and now that eyeshield kid also.

The only one left was Shin. His team mates tried to get him to leave but he just stood there. He just had to hurt that kid even though it was an accident. He couldn't believe he hurt something so young yet beautiful and innocent. He didn't know if he could ever forgive himself for it.

When they got to the hospital, Sena was carried to a room with Mamori running after him with tears in her eyes.

'If anything happens to Sena, I'll kill that Shin-san' Mamori thought angrily. 'No one hurts my Sena. I love him like he's my own flesh and blood'

He was taking into a room while Mamori was waiting in thew waiting room. Kurita came by also but it took him a while to get there because even though the hospital is a mile away, with his 6.5 running record. It didn't help him that he was exaperated from the game. Otawara may not be as strong as him but he was closer then anyone he's ever faced. He told Mamori that Hiruma said that he had errands to do but the real reason was because Hiruma didn't want to face the wrath of Mamori. Even though he was good at threats, Mamori could over power him with her nagging at how he could let Sena play.

Finally a nurse came out with a grim look on her face. She motioned for them to follow her. They followed her to a room and when they entered, they saw the sight of Sena unconsious. His face looked completly pale. Mamori fell to the ground in tears. Kurita tried to comfort her but he was feeling sad himself. He'd finally found another teamate. No, a friend. His good friend Sena.

"He'll be okay." the nurse said. "He'll just need to stay in the hospital for about one week. I don't know how but his spine has been injured. Will you tell me how?" she asked quizzly.

"Football" Kurita explained.

"I see" she replied.

Mamori couldn't stand the sight of Sena like this. She left the room not wanting to see his face.

Shin didn't know what to do. After spending an hour standing on the field in the rain he decided to see how the boy was. He went inside the hospital and asked the nurse for the room of Kobayakawa Sena. He heard his teamates call him Kobayakawa and the girl that ran on the field called him Sena.

"What kind of relationship do you two have for me to tell you where he is?" the girl receptionist asked quizzly.

"He's my friend" Shin rerplied nonchalantly.

"Good enough. Amy will you show this young man where Kobayakawa Sena's room is?" the receptionist asked a nurse. The nurse nodded and motioned for him to follow her.

Mamori was outside the room crieing when she saw the boy that kept tackling Sena in the game. She ran up to him with fury in her eyes.
