(Disclaimer: Silver does not own Eyeshield 21 or the characters of Kuroshitsuji, if she does, she'll agree to those fangirls and pair up Hiruma and Sena together… But that'll will only be a dream. She only own her OC, folks.)
A week before the storm (Part 2)
Earlier that day…
Hiruma did the usual routine every morning before the whole team arrives, or in Kurita's and Komusubi's case, they are outside training way too early. He would brush his teeth, eat, check some info and items in the clubhouse and then clean and polish his guns. But this day, he was doing it rather slowly, taking only coffee for breakfast and skipping checking of the stuff in the club.
Right now, his mind is wandering about his sister…
'What happened to her?'
'Why did she disappear?'
'Why did she come back only now?'
'And why…?'
He immediately dismisses all those thoughts since it wouldn't help the incoming Autumn tournament. He continues to polish his AK-74 and blew a bubble gum to get himself concentrated for training. When he shifts his legs for a better position, the small threat book falls out from his pocket and spews a lot of small notes and pictures on the floor.
"Damn it…" he curses and places the rifle and rag on the roulette table. He kneels down and begins to pick them up, putting them back till he comes across on one picture he never thought he would see again.
A family picture…
'I found her… now that job is done, is there a point on letting her stay?' he thought as he glares at it and slaps the picture back in the black book. He then notices the time and gears up for the morning practice.
…
At the present time…
Suzume, Sena and Monta are putting the fainted players down on the bench and on the ground, then fan them for air. Suzuna and Mamori who manage to recover from their shock also helps them, while Hiruma just stood there as he watches the five trying to revive the team and is quite pissed.
"Nii-san, don't stand there." Suzume says, as she and Suzuna helps each other on putting Taki down. It proved to be difficult and annoying at the same time, when the tight end kept striking up his leg and doing dramatic poses while asleep. "Is he always like this?" she asks her new friend.
"Yeah, it's making me wish that I have You-nii as my nii-san." Suzuna says, as she avoids her brother's arm, as if he is dreaming of opening his jacket.
Suzume smiles at her comment and a thought cross her. "Why don't we drop him?" she suggests as she dodge his high kicks, "Chances if we hit the head hard, he might wake up."
Suzuna looks at her brother, then at her new friend and evades another swing of the arm. "Let's do it." Suzuna said.
With that, they drop Taki on the floor with little force and head first. He did react by shouting "Arienai!" and made a strange pose, but he is still asleep.
"… I suggest dumping water on him." Suzuna says.
"I call for that, I'll get the water." Suzume says and runs off to get a bucket of water. But it wasn't long… she soon comes running back with a lot of suitors and admirers on her tail. "KYA! Why does this always happen to me?!" she shrieks.
Hiruma saw this and his eyes widen, he then grabs his shotgun and assault rifle behind his back and lets loose. Many of them yelped in fear and runs away, some attempted to save her but one warning and a discovery cause them to back away from her. Suzume, who hid behind Mamori, sighs in relief and then "eeped" in fright when her brother approaches her with a maniacal grin, a mischievous laugh and a look that says you'll-hate-me-but-you'll-love-this.
'I don't like this.' she thinks.
…
"I really don't like this!!!" she shouts… while in full American football gear in the clubhouse. Hiruma is still laughing while searching for a helmet to fit her, while the rest are outside trying to wake the team. Apparently, he dragged his sister to the clubhouse and forced her to wear the uniform. "You know, I could agree joining in this team… but not as a player!" she then "eeped" again when her brother points a ridiculous-looking gun at her.
By ridiculous, as in every part of some simple handguns was combine into a multi-barrel handgun.
"No worries, you'll do the same thing as the fucking shrimp." Hiruma says, as he tosses something over his shoulder.
"Shrimp?" Suzume asks, she then remembers Eyeshield 21. "You mean Eyeshield-kun?!"
The only respond is the loud "Ke ke ke" as he rummages on a few boxes, she sighs in annoyance. He then finds the suitable helmet and it has a dark yellow visor attached, he grins as he thinks of a codename for his sister.
"Ke ke ke… for now on, you'll be Dash 28!" he declared as he shoves the helmet on her head.
"EH?!" she shrieks and was loud enough to snap the whole team awake. They quickly got up and rush to the clubhouse to witness Suzume, in full gear, shoving the helmet back her brother and he would shove it back to her. " I told you! I'd rather be a secretary or a cheerleader than a player!" she shouts.
"You're going to play" He declares, shoving the helmet back to her.
"No, I will not!" she snaps back, and tosses back the helmet. 'Besides I've got more important things to do than this.' she thinks
"What is going on here?!" Mamori asks out loud, and the sibling looks at her.
"Mamori-sempai, he's forcing me to play!" the blonde girl says in a tearful tone, as if she was being harassed. Hearing this, Mamori launches into a protective mode and argues with the blonde demon on forcing his sister to play.
"Are you okay?" Togano asks, as they watch the verbal battle between the two.
"Kinda…" Suzume says, as she sweat-drops when her brother pulled out his assault rifle and began shooting the ceiling. 'Besides… I really can't do this…' she thinks.
"Che, fine… she can't play." Hiruma says, setting the rifle down on the table and the whole team sighs in relief. "But she'll no longer set foot in the field nor watch us play in the tournament."
"W-what?!" Suzume asks in shock. 'Is he crazy?!' she thinks.
"Hey, don't worry you'll see him during break and lunch time." Mamori says, hoping that would encourage the girl.
"You also won't see me at those time." he says as he blows a gum and takes a rag to polish his gun.
"How can you say that?" Kurita asks.
"I have some guard dogs." Hiruma says.
"Y-you m-mean Ceroberus?" Sena nervously asks, his encounters with that dog are none too pleasant.
"That and her fans." Hiruma says with a wide grin.
'Oh shit.' Suzume freezes on the spot. 'I won't be able to get near him with that, plus using any actions beyond normal will make me suspicious.' And she imagines using one of her skills might put a doubt on her brother and the people around him. 'I can't let him know.'
"Well…?" Hiruma asks, looking at his sister by the corner of his eyes.
"Suzume-chan, you don't have-" but Mamori got cut off when Suzume raise her hand.
"It's okay." she said with a gentle smile and Mamori looks at her with concern. She then looks at her brother, then at the helmet on the floor and she picks it up.
'If this is the only way…'
"I'll join the club as a player." she says, looking at her brother directly at his eyes.
'Then I'll take it.'
…
Suzume sighs as she walks into the field, she then notices the linemen are having some practice with some sumo wrestlers and a few from the judo club. 'They are getting so ripped…' She thinks and then a bullet whiz passes her. Of course, she suppresses her instinct and she jumps in fright instead.
"Oi, fucking baby sis, get your damn ass over here!" Hiruma shouts and once again she sighs. She heads to where her brother is and the quarterback picks up a clipboard. "You're way too weak to be with the linemen, plus a bit small for the receiver position…"
'As if I'll be pushing them!' She thinks and stares at the linemen, who successfully pushed the challengers down to the ground. 'Although… you'll flip if you could see what I can do.'
"I'll have to see if you are any good on catching, running and throwing." Hiruma says, tossing the clipboard over his shoulder without a care. "But first, let's see your speed and bench press. Go over that side, fucking baby sis."
"Will you stop swearing?" Suzume says and stomps off to the starting line, while he stares at her.
'Something's different…' Hiruma thinks, but he throws it off and grabs the stop watch and a AT4 rocket launcher. "Are you ready?" he shouts.
"Hold off! That's-" But she jumps when he launches the rocket, which happens to be a firework, and shouts a loud "GO!". Without much of a choice and is suppressing the urge to hit her brother, she runs as fast as she can and skidded to a stop once she cross the finish line.
"Not bad… 4.5 seconds, Ke ke ke." He said, as he record the time.
'Seriously? It's working but not what I hope for.' Suzume thinks, and Hiruma orders her to head to Kurita and Mamori for the bench press. They soon learn that she can only lift the same weight as Sena does, due to a fact that she nearly got choke on the normal 20 kg start. 'Okay… it did work, gack…' she coughs a bit. 'But on my strength?'
After that, they test her on running which she manages to avoid every guard till Sena tackled her. After he profusely apologizes to her, they begin the catching test. The result ends up Suzume squealing every time she is hit by the ball on the head… well, she did catch a few but most would hit her instead. The last test, throwing, she is able to throw a stable one and Monta is able to catch it. Although she can't throw a long pass due to her strength and height.
And the total result… she's now the substitute running back of the team.
…
Suzume sighs as she heads home, sore from the test her brother gave. As she turns to a corner, she tenses but continues to act normal. She continues on her way as the shadow follows her, as her left eye glows red…
…
In a dark alley, Suzume picks up her bag after killing her stalker. She glares at it before heading home. Then…
"Give me back… my rabbit."
"Huh?" She said and looks around, only to find nothing yet she remains alert as she walks.
…
The fifth day, Suzume came early with her brain half asleep, but it wakes up upon the loud bangs from her brother's… favorite toys. She sighs and heads to the club for practice, experiences having strangers in the class for the third time and ends the final school day sore and tired.
"Ugh…" She winced, as she enters the clubhouse and changes back into her uniform in her special locker, which was built in a rush. After fixing her tie, she sees Mamori and Sena talking on how diligent he is on the club. Embarrassed, he tried to hide the cards from her.
"Even so, this is the first time I've seen you get so involved in something." Mamori says, and Sena could only stare at her by surprise. "Even if we can't play in the games, we're still members of the team."
But Sena looks away with guilt written on his face. "Yeah." he answers back
Then Kurita and the team comes in, celebrating another successful training. Suzume chose this time to come out of the locker from, as Mamori cross a day from the calendar. As she packs up her stuffs, the team continues to discuss about the tournament coming this Sunday. Heck, Kurita is all hyped up for it. That is until…
"Once the tournament starts, one loss mean it's the end." Juumonji says, and this made Kurita's heart skip a beat. Suzume begins to sense his fears as they begin to talk about the tournament, till he left early with fear despite the cheery face he puts up.
Then a creature snickers and follows the huge lineman, not knowing that the blonde girl has her eyes on it.
…
Kurita rushes home to the temple and went to the omikuji, there he deposit a 5 yen and shakes the canister. A stick came out; he then opens the box with the corresponding number on the stick and takes a piece of paper out. Swallowing his fears, he opens it but only to yelp in horror.
It's a Great Misfortune.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the shadows…
"Hee hee hee, GACK!" the creature yelps in pain, as something hits on its head. "Who dares-" but the creature pales upon seeing who it is.
"What the heck are you doing?" Thorn Rose asks, although the creature couldn't see through her mask, it feels afraid of it.
"I-I was j-just-" but the creature yelps when a blade is set on its neck.
"Please do not disturb him nor any members of the football team… you know what happens when you disobey." she asks, tapping the sharp point on its throat.
The creature squeals in fright and disappears from sight. Rose sighs at this, she then looks down on Kurita who's attempting to encourage himself. She looks away and disappears from sight.
"You know, I don't really believe in luck…" the wind carries her whisper but it was never heard.
…
On the sixth day, the final practice, she became a little late due to nearly forgetting about it if she wasn't reminded by Sebastian. After gearing up, she runs to the field when she notices her brother is talking to a construction worker. She observes them from afar, before her brother notices her and began shooting at her feet.
"Get to the fucking practice, fucking baby sis!" he shouts, as she dances to the bullets and ran to the field.
"Stop using the f-word, nii-san!" she shouts, as she puts her helmet on and joins Sena and Monta on the ladder drill.
The construction worker looks amusingly at her and his friend, and couldn't help but to chuckle. Hiruma's vein pops and glares at the old man, as he waves his hand in apology. "Sorry, sorry, but seriously how the heck are you two related?" he asks.
"Che, it doesn't matter, fucking old man." Hiruma spat, and looks at his sister who's practicing with the shrimp and the monkey. "Still, it won't be easy to keep winning with just a temporary kicker. You know that."
"This has nothing to do with me." he replied.
"My plans never went wrong once." Hiruma said and then his friend left but a grin form on his face.
…
As soon as practice is over… everyone panics…
Kurita has gone missing.
Because of this everyone rushes out to find him, Sena and Monta went to find him on some classroom at the east, the Huh-huh brothers at the west, Mamori at the field, Yukimitsu and Komusubi at the front gate and entrance, and Suzume went to see to roof… and encounters something.
After that, she runs down to the second floor. Then Sena and Monta found her and they told her their idea, she then agreed to it and went off to find the others.
Meanwhile…
In the Gymnasium, Kurita shakes in fear in his hiding place in the gym's storage room. And then Hiruma came with a battle rifle, knowing where the huge lineman is hiding.
"I figured you'd be here, fucking fatty." Hiruma said, staring at the vaulting horse. "Whenever you're scared to death you always hide there."
"Hiruma." Kurita spoke up, his voice is a bit shaky because of fear. "Is there such thing as reincarnation?" he asks.
"Huh?!" Hiruma exclaimed angrily, as his temper began to rise.
Kurita wonders if he could do high school all over again, not wanting to accept the fact that this is the last chance for him and his friends. He then remembers how he loved the game and how he met him and Musashi, he dreads that it will end tomorrow and feels sad for Musashi for not making it. He then looks at Hiruma sorrowfully. "Hey, Hiruma, do you think it's 100% certain we'll win the game?" He asks.
"Of course not." Hiruma answers directly. "There is no such thing as 100% certainty."
"Then what if we lose?" Kurita asks.
"It's over." Hiruma answers. "Everything."
"NO!" Kurita wails with tears, he complains that they managed to form a great team and declares that he won't be playing the game tomorrow. Then snapping, Hiruma calmly sets his rifle and shoots at the vaulting horse. Shouting the fact that no one will help him once he's on the field, Kurita runs in fear and Hiruma click his tongue in annoyance.
He then chases after him, unknowing someone is watching them from the shadows.
"Really…he's way too blunt with his answers" and it reveals to be Suzume, who sighs at her brother's behavior but made a smile. "Then again… sugar-coated words are nothing at all."
She then looks at the door where both Kurita and Hiruma went. "Reincarnation… huh?" she whispers, before going after them.
Kurita runs as much as he can and then stops when he spots the TV in their old first year class. He remembers the time when he, Hiruma and Musashi wrote their names on it as a vow that they'll win and play in the Christmas Bowl. He enters the room with Hiruma just behind.
"This is your stop, fatty." Hiruma said, as he stops by the door
"Hiruma, do you remember?" Kurita said, looking at him. "Look, it's the TV."
He went near the TV to see the vow they made, but then he became speechless.
Even Hiruma is surprised.
On the side of the TV, where they wrote their names and dream… are the names of all their teammates. As if saying that they will help them achieve their goal this fall tournament. With renewed determination, Kurita breaks out from his hiding place and Sena and the team happily found him.
Later that night, Hiruma brought his team to the Tokyo Stadium and everyone stares in awe on how huge it is. Suzume, on the other hand, just stared at it blankly like a normal place. For her, there's nothing special about it since she's been visiting the place. But one look on her brother, she realized that this is a place of dream for him.
Because of that… she made a silent promise on that dream.
'Nii-san…no matter what happens, I'll protect that dream for you.'
Silver: This is also long… TO THE MAX! Wait… why am I mimicking the monkey?
Monta: MUKKYA!!! I'm not a monkey!!!
Silver: … yeah right… Anyway, time for fun facts! And today's fun fact is…
Fun Facts!
When and how I first created my OCs.
Okay… well it started in an old PS1 game called Rhapsody: A musical adventure. I was so inspired by it (probably the music) and it first created Tsubame and Suzume, based on Cornet's and Etoile's rivalry. I then added Yuri, my friend's OC and this started my way into fanfiction. Soon, I added Hibari and Hikari into the list. And then Ann and Summer, the Star twins, came into the scene along with Marika and Chiharu tailing behind. So all in all, I have 9 OCs, which I eventually fix all of them for being… well, way too perfect.
Silver: Wait a sec, wouldn't that make Sebastian a Gary Stu? I mean, he's a way too perfect jack-of-all-trades guy.
Sebastian: That's because I am one hell of a butler, Silver-sama.
Silver: … Never mind then… Review minna-san.
