"Everyone, I have something important to tell you." Kagome took a deep breath and mentally cursed Hiruma. "I'm really a girl. Surprise!" And she braced herself.
"HA?!
"HAA?!?!"
"HAAAAAA?!?!?!?!"
"MUKYAAA?!?!"
"AHAHA?"
"YA!"
Kagome raised an eyebrow at Suzuna's yell which didn't seem to be surprised. It actually sounded triumphant. Suzuna grinned sheepishly and looked up at the taller girl. "Weeeelll I kinda had a suspicion that you were girl. I mean, no guy is that pretty!"
Kagome shrugged, 'That's true…'
"Whoa whoa there! What do you mean you're a girl?!?" Monta waved his hands to get her attention.
"I mean I'm a girl. You know, no Y chromosome, boobs?" Kagome pointed to her chest. Suzuna leaned forward for closer inspection and found that Kagome was right indeed for once she looked past the Deimon male uniform, she could see the jacket was raised where her chest would be.
"But why…" Suzuna began.
Kagome sighed. "Blame the sports bra and the athletic tape." She raised a clenched fist and the others saw that comical tears were running down her face. "Jerk didn't even give me pre-wrap the first day!"
The football team members winced sympathetically. Tape without prewrap? That was just cruel.
"Are you still complaining about that fucking princess?" A familiar drawl came from the doorway of the clubhouse. Everyone turned to see Hiruma with his confident grin leaning against the doorframe. He walked over and Kagome could see a paper bag in his hand. He shoved the bag into her arms and Kagome opened it curiously.
"Nooooo!!!!" The high pitched scream rang in the clubhouse.
Hiruma let out a wild cackle in response. "KEKEKE! Did you think I wasn't fucking serious?!?"
"NO!!" Kagome screeched, pulling out the red Deimon Devil Bat cheerleading uniform and shoving it in his smug face. "I thought you were joking! I don't want to be a cheerleader! Anything but that!"
The peanut gallery stood to side and watched as Hiruma and Kagome toss angry screams and confident comebacks at each other. Juumonji, Kuroki, and Toganou all shook their heads in disbelief.
"Man, I can't believe Kagome is really a girl," Juumonji muttered, looking at the former football player's lithe frame. "I thought she was just like Sena, small and weak, but I never thought she was a girl."
Kuroki nodded his head in agreement. "I kinda wonder what she looks like with her hair down though."
Kagome's ponytail gave a little flip as she looked about ready to jump Hiruma. Ever since the first day of school, she'd always have it in a ponytail, fearing that it would've made her look to girly if she had it down. Hiruma pulled out red pom poms from behind his back and waved them mockingly, making Kagome turn a brighter red.
"You know what's funny?" Juumonji suddenly asked.
"Eh?" Kuroki and Toganou asked in unison.
"I've never seen Hiruma act this way with anyone." The other two looked at the squabbling pair. They'd never say it out loud for fear of their lives but they looked like a married couple the way they argued. "He doesn't even argue with Mamori like this."
"Hnn, maybe Hiruma likes her?" Toganou hesitantly offered.
The three faux brothers exchanged alarmed glances.
'Naaaaahh.'
-
It was odd, Suzuna noted, that there weren't many guys flocking to Kagome who was on the bench beside the field like a sitting duck. In fact, it seemed like they were too scared to approach her. Suzuna had seen one boy walk confidently up to Kagome, catch sight of her back and then nearly piss himself running away. It was an odd thing indeed.
You would've thought that Kagome'd be surrounded by blushing, stammering teenage guys right? Well that's what Suzuna thought too. But there Kagome sat, alone, looking pretty damn good in that cheer outfit is Suzuna had something to say.
It was just so strange but if she was willing to guess, it probably had something to do with Hiruma. Earlier, Hiruma had requested a cheerleading outfit to give to Kagome but then he had also asked for a black permanent marker. At that time, Suzuna had merely shrugged and gave him one, not knowing what he'd do with it. Well now, she had a sneaking suspicion that black marker + cheerleading outfit = poor poor Kagome.
Suzuna hurriedly thrust a pom pom in the air and screamed as their team made another touchdown. "YAAA!! Goo Deimon!!" She watched fondly as Sena was slapped on the back by his teammates and waved at him when he looked over at her. She watched as he turned a light shade of red and giggled when he had to be dragged towards the huddle by Monta.
In the huddle was Hiruma, barking out a play that couldn't be heard from where she was standing. It didn't seem like Hiruma was affected by Kagome's presence on the sidelines but Suzuna knew better. Every once in a while, Suzuna would see him glance over to Kagome's general area and if she was lucky, she'd see how Hiruma would quickly turn away like nothing happened even though the tips of his ears would turn red.
Oh yeah, he definitely had something for her.
But still, the mystery of the lack of suitors! Suzuna racked her brain for ever answer imaginable but nothing came up. Everything was too outrageous, even for Hiruma!
That was, until Kagome stood up and spun around to show Suzuna what was on her back.
Suzuna's pretty little jaw dropped and her eyes went wide. Oh ho ho! She knew Hiruma was daring but she was pretty sure this crossed some line somewhere in the world!
She let out a suspicious giggle, earning wary glances from the cheerleaders around her. Her eyes fixated themselves on Hiruma's form and Suzuna cackled to herself.
'Oh they so like each other!'
-
Oh she so did not like this.
Kagome sat next to Doburoku on the bench with her arms and legs crossed. She blew her bangs away from her face and huffed. And she thought being a football player sucked? Being a cheerleader wasn't any better. She still had to go to all their games but instead of playing in them, she had to sit on the sidelines and cheer. Even if she wanted to play football, she couldn't! Something about the principal not allowing girls to play and Hiruma being okay with it.
Kagome threw her head back and kicked her feet straight out, placing both hands on the bench to steady herself. "Gaaaaaah this sucks!"
A deep chuckle came from beside her and Kagome glared at the old man sipping his sake. "From a football player to a cheerleader. Funny eh?"
She glared at Doburoku, tempted to snatch away his gourd and chuck it towards the end zone. "Ahh shut up old man. I don't even want to be here!"
He merely laughed and waved her ire off. "Hiruma must care a great deal to put you as cheerleader!"
A scandalized look crossed Kagome's face before she burst into laughter. "Ahahahaha! Him? Care for me?" She slapped scowling Doburoku on the shoulder jovially. "That's the funniest thing I've heard today!"
She jumped up from the bench and stretched, cracking her back. She spun around with a happy glint in her eyes. "Well jeez, you just made my day!"
Doburoku scoffed at her oblivious and sought to correct her. He took a swig of his sake before wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. "Looky here, from what I can tell, Hiruma cares about you. Think about it, he was willing to lose a very valuable player just because a couple of flirty girls and a gay guy hit on you. Doesn't that say something?"
Kagome shoot her head in denial, black hair flying all over the place. "That can't be it! If he did that to keep hormonally driven people away, why'd he stick me in a cheerleading uniform right after?" She tugged at the scandalously short skirt. "Look at this! It's lucky we have bloomers underneath! Who knows how many guys have been giving me looks?!?"
Doburoku merely shrugged, she did have a good point.
Kagome rolled her eyes at his lack of a reply. Sure it was an interesting thought but really? Hiruma being caring? Hiruma having feelings? Kagome shook her head, even if it was true, it didn't make any sense at all because she was stuck in a tiny little cheer outfit complete with moving bat wings and a twitching devil tail. Although she found it was odd that no boys had found the guts to approach her.
Kagome sighed and spun around to join her fellow cheerleaders. Doburoku looked up midgulp to see where she was going and spewed out all of the alcohol in his mouth.
'I think I know why Hiruma put her in a cheerleading outfit now. Or more specifically, that cheerleading outfit.'
Right smack dab on her red clad backside were the words 'Property of Hiruma Youichi' printed in bold black print. Doburoku stared unblinkingly, unable to tear his eyes away from Kagome's backside (because of the writing, he swore, the writing!). Nose slightly red, whether from the copious amounts of alcohol he guzzled or another reason, Doburoku chuckled heartily and lightly dabbed his forehead with his towel.
Doburoku shook his head at Hiruma's sheer genius. It was all starting to make sense, why Hiruma was willing to lose such a good runner like Kagome.
His aim all along was to ward off potential boyfriends but his first plan failed when fangirls actually got some balls to approach Kagome. And now, this was his backup plan. To literally mark Kagome as his. If he would've employed this method while she was still a 'guy', then everyone would've thought Hiruma was gay, and if Doburoku knew Hiruma (which he did), then there would've no way that he would've tolerated that.
Doburoku felt a shudder run down his back.
'That kid's so smart it's scary sometimes…'
-
"HIRUMAAAAA!!"
Hiruma chewed his gum lazily and stared at the classroom, expecting Kagome to burst through any minute, probably yelling obscenities at him if the way she was stomping down the hallway was any clue.
The door was flung open violently and a bright eyed, flushed Kagome stood in the doorway with a brown bag in her hand, her now noticeable chest heaving.
'Ah, right on cue.'
Her blue eyes scanned the room before they landed on his relaxed form and narrowed dangerously. She stomped over, her black skirt swishing with her every slight movement. Due to Hiruma's influence, she had gotten the female uniform the day that she revealed to the team that she was a girl. She had walked home to find it neatly folded and stuffed into another brown paper bag. Also, on it was a note that clearly read, 'You're a girl now so look like a fucking girl.' Yeah, that was him all right.
Kagome came to a halt in front of Hiruma and crossed her arms, her green jacket cuffs folded up to her elbows. The innocent bag dangled from her hand. "You."
Hiruma cocked an eyebrow in questioning.
She dropped the bag on his desk, next to his propped up feet, and stuck her hands inside, pulling out a familiar red outfit.
The Deimon cheerleading outfit.
"Look!" Kagome grabbed the skirt and spun it around so that the back was facing him. "What the fuck is this?!?"
Hiruma grinned and admired his handiwork. One of his greatest accomplishments, he's have to say. The black ink hadn't faded any, in fact it seemed to stand out more.
"I like it. What is it, a new style?" Hiruma gleefully watched as Kagome turned an even darker shade of red, the blush slowly traveling downwards.
"Hiruma! I know it was you! How dare you write this on my uniform?!" She waved the tiny skirt in his face and he grabbed a pleated end and tugged.
"Of course it was me, was it that fucking hard to figure out?"
Kagome suddenly had this overwhelming urge to rip out her hair. Of his earrings. Either one was fine. "Y-you, no, augh! Just gimme a new uniform!" She shoved the skirt in his face. "A new skirt at least! I just don't want this on my ass!"
Hiruma cackled, "Nope! Deal with it!"
By now, the blush had spread down far enough to disappear behind her white uniform top. Hiruma discreetly followed the trail with hungry eyes. Kagome didn't take notice of it and instead fumed at his easy refusal. Finally giving up, she turned on her heel with toss of her hair and stormed away, kicking the door open and slamming it shut as she left.
Hiruma laughed to himself.
It was just too damn fun.
-
'This is too much damn fun,' Kagome thought to herself as she waved her pom pom flirtatiously at the crowd, specifically towards a large gathering of boys. She cocked a hip and smiled cutely, throwing them a wink before running back to join the group of cheerleaders.
Suzuna looked at Kagome suspiciously. "You're oddly perky today."
Kagome merely shrugged off her comment and plastered a pretty smile on her face. "What can I say? I think I like cheerleading!"
Suzuna did not believe her answer for one minute but nodded anyways and left Kagome to her own devices. Once clear, Kagome let a devious grin cross her face.
It was payback time.
If there was one thing Kagome knew for sure, then it was the fact that Hiruma had some serious jealousy issues. Although she had no idea why, she was going to use that to her full advantage. It was so perfectly crafted, after all, Hiruma had indeed given her the perfect weapon.
The cheer uniform.
And it was about damn time that she utilized it to its fullest capabilities. Kagome had managed to snag a new uniform that wasn't ruined by Hiruma with the help of a sympathetic Suzuna and had planned to wear it today. The cheer girls jumped up and down excitedly and Kagome made sure that her skirt flew up slightly, showing the black bloomers with mini devil wings stitched on the bottom left buttock. She smirked as she gave a mighty leap, causing one of members of the rival team to stare at her. The poor boy was slapped upside the head by a nearby teammate who tried giving Kagome a mighty glare, instead turning absolutely red and stomping away with, leaving his pride behind with her.
Kagome giggled and rolled her eyes. This was just too easy.
With a determined nod, she decided to go for her trump card. All the cheerleaders ended their cheer with a pose and she gladly went along with it. She pulled her knee up and grabbed the tip of her shoe, stretching her leg until it lay flat up against her chest, completely vertical with her body. Her standing split drew wide eyed gazes along with dropped jaws all over the field and bleachers. Kagome threw in a flirtatious wink before letting her leg down.
If that didn't get a rise out of Hiruma, Kagome'd start questioning his sexuality.
It was after the match and the standard niceties that Hiruma came stomping over with an M4A1 Carbine in one hand and an AK-47 in the other. He was already yelling at her even before he got to her. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!" He finally got to her and shoved his face in hers, teeth clenching painfully and green eyes boring into hers. "The hell do you think you're doing?!"
Kagome stared back calmly, trying as best as she could to suppress a smirk. "What do you mean? I was being a cheerleader, just like you asked me too."
The tips of Hiruma's ears turned red and Kagome mentally cackled. 'Bwahahahaha!'
"A cheerleader? A fucking cheerleader?" he yelled, "A cheerleader does not flirt and blow kisses at the crowd or our fucking enemies! A cheerleader doesn't lift her leg up, flashing her underwear to everyone in the fucking stadium! More importantly, a cheerleader does not distract her own fucking team!!!"
Kagome scrunched her nose up at him. "You're the one that told me to do this!!"
"Yeah, I said cheerleader but from where I was standing, all I saw was a whole lotta flirting and no cheering!"
"Well then you must be blind because I was clearly doing what I was supposed to! Cheering for your fucking team!"
"You call that cheering?! I call that sabotage! The fucking monkey can't even catch a damn pass ' cause he's too fucking busy looking at you and the fucking Ha-Ha brothers can't even block anymore 'cause you're flipping your damn skirt every chance you got!"
"Oh fuck you Hiruma! You're the one who forced me to do this!"
"Fucking princess!"
Sena and the rest of the team sweatdropped at the arguing couple. They were looking more and more like a couple currently involved in a lover's spat. Sena shook his head wearily from beside Monta who had long abandoned his guilty feeling of 'cheating' on Mamori and was currently staring unabashedly at the pretty little cheerleader yelling obscenities at their team captain.
It was hilarious really, how fast this week had gone by. They had only found out that Kagome was a girl just three days ago and now, they were acting like they knew it for months. It was scary how fast the Deimon football team adapted. Maybe it was due to their willingness to adapt. After all, the three Ha-Ha brothers certainly weren't averse to accepting Kagome's gender. In fact, they seemed all too eager to. Kagome, with her new found popularity, became known as the Deimon Devilbats' princess. Needless to say, Kagome wasn't too pleased with it.
The arguing had escalated into a mass of indecipherable yelling and screaming. Hiruma and Kagome were both shouting at the same time and like a car crash, Sena couldn't look away. From any other view, it looked like a regular lover's spat, but with more cussing and more imaginative insults. But if they argued like this normally, Sena shuddered to wonder what it would be like if Hiruma and Kagome really were in a relationship.
"Oh no…" came a mutter from beside him. Sena glanced down to see Suzuna standing next to him with a troubled look on her face. The arena had grown suspiciously quiet, devoid of any previous yelling. Sena followed Suzuna's eye line to see Hiruma with a mildly worried look on his face and Kagome with her head tilted down, bangs covering her eyes. Sena watched her tilt her head up and saw her bright blue eyes brimming with hurt tears.
"W-what happened?!?" he frantically asked Suzuna but she shook her head and pointed. Sena looked back at the pair to witness to something he'd never thought he'd see.
"You asshole!" Kagome screamed. She reared her hand back and let it fly, letting it land soundly on Hiruma's cheek. Sena and the rest of the team gaped as Hiruma's head snapped to the side and he stumbled backwards. Kagome stomped away in a flurry of tears, grabbing her things and fleeing from the stadium, never once looking back at the astonished team.
Suzuna shook her head and let out a heavy sigh. "This isn't good."
Sena nodded his head in agreement.
This wasn't good at all.
-
It was understandable that the ones who knew Hiruma the most were the ones in the American Football Club. Afterall, they were a team. They sweated together, shed blood together, cried together. They were like family, they supported each other in times of need and understood each other when no one else could.
And so, they were the first to realize that something was wrong.
They first saw it during practice. Monta was the first to notice that Hiruma's passes weren't as crisp or accurate. They had a tendency to veer to the right and didn't have the tight spiral they normally had. This, Monta immediately picked up on being the main wide receiver.
Sena had also caught on. It seemed that the longer practice went on, the less Hiruma shot at people with his guns, something that never happened. His guns lay untouched on the bench beside the water bottles with Mamori staring warily at them, along with Doburoku who remained silent and unchanged. In fact, the guns had barely been touched the whole entire day.
But there was something that the entire team noticed, something that definitely alerted them to the fact that something was wrong with Hiruma.
He wasn't yelling.
There were no loud death threats, plays yelled out, nothing. Practice, for the first time in about ever, was quiet.
The Deimon Devilbats were very, very perturbed.
Even Musashi, oh great one with the iron senses, was disturbed by Hiruma's behavior, or lack thereof. He and the rest of the team made sure to stay far, far away from Hiruma every chance that they got.
And to make that practice even stranger, Kagome wasn't there. The girl's presence had become somewhat of a constant. She was always there with Suzuna, either conversing with Doburoku about plays and strategies or cheering them on as they practiced. Either way, she always got sucked into a yelling match with Hiruma, one that involved a lot of incoherent obscenities and clever comebacks. But today, they were devoid of her presence.
Dare they say it but perhaps the fight from yesterday had more of an influence on Hiruma and Kagome than they had originally thought?
Sena approached Suzuna after practice to find out what exactly had happened yesterday. "Hey Suzuna!" Sena shouted. The petite girl jumped before spinning around on her inline skates to face him. A pretty smile graced her face and she waved as Sena jogged to catch up.
"Hiiii Sena!" Sena smiled at her cheery greeting.
"Hey," he said breathlessly. "Thanks for waiting."
Suzuna shrugged cutely and giggled, "No problem! Should we wait for Monta before we go?"
Sena nodded and they settled into relaxed positions by the gate to wait for Monta.
"Ummm…" Sena started. Suzuna looked at him curiously and he flushed a bit. "Well, I want to know, what exactly happened yesterday?"
Suzuna looked confused for a minute. "Yesterday…? Oh! Yesterday! You mean the fight between Hiruma and Kagome?"
"Yeah! I mean, I know they were fighting but I got distracted and didn't see what really happened at the end. What did Hiruma say to make Kagome slap him?"
Suzuna shifted uncomfortably and grimaced slightly. "Er, let's just say that Hiruma said some unsavory things to Kagome." She looked up at Sena. "He called her a slut."
"Oh…" Sena knew Hiruma could be harsh sometimes but to call her that?
"Yeah…" Suzuna had a frown on her face and her eyebrows were furrowed. "I know Hiruma can say some mean things but Kagome didn't deserve that. He forced her to be a cheerleader and Kagome was just trying to make him jealous. It was working too, a little too well I guess."
Sena did a dramatic double take. "W-wait what? Kagome was trying to make Hiruma jealous? Why?"
She blinked at him cutely and Sena blushed. "Wait, you don't know?" He shook his head negative. A smile slowly graced her face and she lightly covered her mouth with her hand. "Ohoho! Kagome likes Hiruma!"
Sena took a step back in shock. "Wh-what?!? Since when?!"
"Since about forever you dummy! It was obvious!" Suzuna put her hands on her hips waved a finger at him. "Haven't you seen how they act with each other?"
Well yeah, he had but it all consisted of yelling and screaming. He thought that was normal whenever Kagome and Hiruma were involved.
Suzuna continued, "They like each other, they're just too stubborn to admit it. And they're in denial." She scrunched her nose. "I mean, look at how Hiruma got jealous when Kagome was going around in her cheer outfit. I've never seen him that mad before!"
Sena thought back and realized that yeah, Hiruma had been pretty mad when he marched over to Kagome yesterday.
"And don't you see how Kagome likes it when Hiruma tells her good job? She puts more effort when he does." Suzuna crossed her arms, having finished defending her point. Sena rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah, maybe they do like each other…"
"Maybe? Oh they like each other, that's for sure." Suzuna tapped her chin in thought. "But the problem is, we need to find a way to get them to accept the fact that they like one another and then get them to do something about it. But how…"
"We could talk to them?" Sena offered hesitantly. "I bet that if we talked some sense into them, they'd realize what's already so obvious."
Suzuna brightened, "Yeah! That's a great idea! How about we split up? I go to Kagome, you go to Hiruma!" Suzuna cheered and jumped, clapping her hands excitedly. "Ooooh what a great idea! We're the best matchmakers ever!"
Sena grinned, amused by Suzuna's little display of cheerfulness. He heard his name called from behind him and he turned around curiously. Suzuna peeked around his back. They saw Monta jogging towards them, waving a hand while the other was carrying bananas.
"Heeeey! Don't leave without meeee!"
Suzuna then saw Taki whizzing out of the clubhouse door, racing past her in a flurry of stretched limbs.
"Ahaha! Hurry Suzuna! I have a scheduled autograph signing to go to! Hurry! Ahaha!"
Suzuna squeaked and patted Sena on the arm hurriedly as she saw Taki disappear around the corner. "Sorry! I guess I can't walk home with you guys!" She took off on her skates, turning around one last time to shout back to Sena, "Remember! Talk to Hiruma!"
Sena nodded to himself, determined to make Suzuna proud by talking to Hiruma.
Wait a minute.
Talk to…who?
Sena rapidly turned pale, his back bone disappearing into thin air as he came to an earth shattering realization.
"HIIIIII! I HAVE TO TALK TO WHO?!?!"
-
'This is the worst idea ever…' Sena thought to himself as he crept along the hallway. His back slid against the wall as he slowly made his way down as inconspicuously as possible. Why? He had no clue because the hallway was empty.
Sena came to a stop beside the classroom door, checking the room number to make sure it was the right one. 'Class 2-1. I think this is the right one." Sena slowly slid the door open and peeked around the room. Sure enough, there was Hiruma, sitting by the window, typing away on his laptop while chewing a piece of bubblegum. By the looks of it, Hiruma was the only one there. It was probably too early for anyone to be here or the others students just wanted keep contact with the devil as minimal as possible. It was probably the latter.
Smart people.
'Oh man, I can't believe I'm gonna do this…' Sena slowly slid through the small opening he had made by sliding the door, fervently trying to prevent his knees from trembling. He broke a sweat just from that alone.
"What do you want fucking shrimp?" Sena jumped at the sound of Hiruma's voice. He hurriedly straightened and clasped his hands behind his back in worry. Hiruma continued typing away at his computer, not even looking away for one moment.
Sena felt sweat drip down the side of his face. "Err…well you see, I was wondering about Kagome?" He nervously fiddled with his hands. "Umm, is she gonna be cheering for us on Saturday?"
"Keh, how the hell would I know?" Hiruma snapped at Sena and he flinched.
'Gaaaah this isn't gonna work.' "Oh er, I dunno…." Sena mumbled. "I just thought that 'cause you guys..er…" Sena drifted off into silence.
"Is that all you fucking wanted because I have stuff to do fucking shrimp," Hiruma muttered, eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the laptop screen. Sena sighed and shook his head, rubbing the back of his neck in exasperation.
Sena slipped his hands in his pockets and turned to leave before the sound of paper crumpling caught his attention. He dug into his pocket curiously and pulled out a small folded piece of paper. Sena looked down at it curiously until he realized what it was. 'Oh yeah, this is from Suzuna.'
He opened it carefully, trying not to alert Hiruma.
It read:
Sena! Knowing you, you probably can't get a word out to Hiruma so that's why I wrote this! Tell him exactly what is below okay? Don't you dare chicken out! Love you!
Sena stared at the writing below that small paragraph. 'She expects me to say this to him?!' Sena swallowed loudly and looked up nervously at Hiruma. 'Oh god I'm gonna die for this.'
He cleared his throat loudly and Hiruma looked up at him with a thin eyebrow raised. Sena opened his mouth and began, "You are being an idiot. You and Kagome obviously like each other and you two are being too stubborn and dense to do anything about it. Just admit you like her and then do something. Yaaaah."
"What the fuck did you say?!?" Hiruma yelled as he stood up from his chair and aimed a gun at him.
"Ahhhh! It's not me I swear! I'm reading it! I'm reading it! Look!" Sena took the little piece of paper and held it out in front of him like a shield. Hiruma stalked over to Sena and plucked the piece of paper from his trembling hands.
'You're being an idiot, blah blah blah, do something. Yaahh.' Hiruma read until he got to the next part that Sena didn't read.
'But honestly Hiruma, Kagome does like you and I know you like her too even though you may think you're just doing it for fun. You two make a good match and things would turn out well. There's a 100% chance of that you know? I see the way you act around her and I see how she acts too. You deserve this Hiruma. You deserve the best and believe me, she's it.'
Sena stayed quiet as he watched Hiruma's eyes skim the piece of paper. The quarterback was eerily quiet and it was a bit disturbing. He jumped as the piece of paper was shoved back into his hands. He looked up to see Hiruma already halfway through the door.
"Hi-Hiruma?"
The blonde ignored him and kept walking sliding the door closed as he left, leaving Sena alone in the classroom. Sena blinked in surprise and quickly reopened the note to scan over its contents. Sena reached the bottom of the page and let a smile cross his face. He let out a sigh of relief and slumped against the door.
'That Suzuna. Who knew she was so good at this?'
-
"Kagomeeeee!" Suzuna called cheerily as she threw open the door to the clubhouse.
The girl mentioned raised her head and smiled prettily as Suzuna bounced over. "Hey Suzuna!" Kagome said.
"Hurryyyy! I wanna get to practice early!" Suzuna chirped as she raced around the room to find their cheer uniforms. "Ah! Here they are!" Suzuna found the cardboard box that held their uniforms and threw Kagome hers. Kagome caught it with an amused grin on her face.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" she asked. Suzuna giggled and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the door.
"No tiimee! Let's goo!" The two raced off to the lockers to change. They ran into the locker room and Suzuna was pleasantly surprised to find that it was empty.
'Good, I thought I'd have to kick some girls out.'
The two girls started changing into their uniforms and Suzuna couldn't help but glance at Kagome. She was so pretty it was no wonder that she caught Hiruma's eye, or anyone else's for that matter. Suzuna smiled to herself and pulled her skirt on. She straightened and patted her hair down.
"Hey Kagome? Will you continue cheering with us after the next game?" Suzuna asked innocently.
Kagome paused in pulling her shirt off and looked at Suzuna. "Well of course! Why wouldn't I-? Oh…" Kagome went quiet and she bit her lip. Suzuna inwardly smiled.
'Time to pounce!'
"Is it about what Hiruma said?" Suzuna asked knowingly. Kagome's eyes went wide and she hesitantly nodded. Suzuna shook her head and smiled reassuringly at the older girl. "Oh don't worry so much about it. He didn't mean it really."
Kagome scoffed and rolled her eyes. "As if. Knowing him, he was probably dying to insult me all day long." She huffed and pulled her shirt off with a little more force than necessary.
Suzuna hid a knowing smile. "I doubt that!" Kagome scowled and continued dressing, not saying another word. Suzuna took that as a sign to continue. "Trust me Kagome! I certainly don't forgive him for what he said but I understand that he was angry and got carried away. He didn't mean any harm, especially to you."
Kagome looked at Suzuna suspiciously. "What do you mean by that?"
"Look, you were trying to make him jealous yes?" Kagome nodded silently. "Well you did a great job but I think you misunderstand why he got so angry and jealous."
"Well isn't it because I'm his slave or something?"
Suzuna furiously waved her hands back and forth. "No no no!" She placed her hands on her hips. "It was because he likes you!"
Kagome stopped halfway through pulling down her skirt and glanced up at Suzuna with a skeptical look. "Riiight," she muttered, wiggling her hips as she pulled the skirt down. "That's funny Suzuna, seriously."
"Gaaaaah you're so stubborn," Suzuna groaned, putting a hand to her face. "Kagome, if there's one thing I know about Hiruma, it's that he's very subtle about personal things like feelings and thoughts."
"Then why are you so sure about his?" Kagome asked, crossing her arms and giving Suzuna her full attention.
Suzuna smiled. "After being with this team for so long, I'm able to pick up on these things. And personality wise, I've always been more like Hiruma than anyone else." She reached out and patted the taller girl's shoulder. "He likes you, Kagome, more than either if you realize."
Kagome stayed quiet but Suzuna could see the wheels turning in her mind. 'Now to plant the seed.'
"I guess now what's left to figure out is if you like him or not." With that statement, Suzuna spun on her skates and skated away. She stopped herself at the door and called back at Kagome over her shoulder. "I'm gonna go to practice first! I'll meet you there, Kagome." Suzuna left, leaving Kagome to her thoughts.
Kagome was staring down at the red skirt that she had yet to put on. She thought back to how Hiruma had brazenly written on her uniform and then how jealous he had gotten at the game. She remembered how he would subtly praise her about what she was doing and how he seemed to talk to her the most out of everybody on the team during school hours. She thought back and thought back…
Kagome sighed and fisted her hand around the red fabric.
'All that's left to figure out is if I like him or not…"
-
Hiruma slung his helmet over his shoulder and walked over to the team clubhouse to change. He was about to pop a piece of gum into his mouth before he caught sight of Kagome standing in front of the wire fence around the team room. He pocketed his gum for later, having a feeling that he'd be yelling soon. Hiruma set his face into a demonic grin and approached her.
"What the fuck are you doing here fucking princess? Decided to distract us some more while we're practicing? Well you're a little too late, we're already done!"He forced a fanged grin on his face as he waited expectantly for her heated retort, something to show that their relationship was back to normal. She would yell at him and turn bright red, stamping her feet and clenching her fists. But this time, nothing came.
Kagome stared down at her feet, wringing her hands nervously as if she didn't hear a word of what Hiruma said. Hiruma frowned and clenched his teeth in worry.
"Hey, fucking princess!" Hiruma shouted, trying to get a rise out of her. Even though he couldn't see her eyes because her bangs were covering them, he could see her bite her lip. "Hey, what's wrong? Got no witty comeback?"
Finally her head shot up and Hiruma grinned triumphantly. He stepped forward and baited her eagerly, "Kekeke fucking princess we-" but he faltered when he saw the look on Kagome's face. Her head was tilted up towards his and her bright blue eyes shone curiously. Her eyebrows knitted together and her lips were pursed. "What the fuck…?"
Kagome took a hesitant step forward. "Hiruma, I-I'm sorry for what I'm about to do." Another step forward. "I-I…I just need to know something!" With those last words, she threw herself at him and he barely raised his hands fast enough to catch her. Soft lips crashed into his and his eyes flew wide open shocked by her daring actions. Slender arms locked around his neck and his hands instinctively tightened around her waist. The pressure on his lips eased a bit as she slid in his grasp, sliding so her toes could be placed on the ground.
They separated slowly, eyes gradually opening to stare, Hiruma's in shock and Kagome's in contemplation. Kagome pressed one last kiss against his lips before pulling away from his grasp. She backed away slowly, hands sliding down until they were lightly placed on the back of his arms. Her eyes were wide, as if she had realized something very important.
A pretty blush slowly spread over her cheeks as her fingers came up to rest on her curved lips. "I think I like you…" Kagome breathed out in awe, amazed by her sudden realization. "I think I really like you."
Hiruma remained silent at her confession, lips slightly parted to reveal sharp teeth. A sigh passed through his lips as he closed the distance between Kagome and him. Kagome's eyebrows furrowed in anxiousness at his lack of response until a warm hand cupped the back of her neck. With a sharp tug, Kagome was pulled into a firm chest. She looked up curiously to see Hiruma's face nearing hers. Her eyelashes fluttered closed as his breath ghosted over her lips. "Tsk," he murmured, "Took you fucking long enough."
-
"See! What did I tell you!" Toganou hissed towards his companions and gave them a whack on the shoulder. "I told you Hiruma liked her!"
His two friends waved their hands in an effort to quiet their voices. "Shhhh! You don't want him to hear!" Juumonji shot a nervous glance behind him. He could already imagine Hiruma yelling 'Hey fucking Ha-Ha brothers! What the fuck are you standing there for!' while blasting a missile at them or something.
Toganou and Kuroki shut their mouths and glanced in Hiruma's direction wildly. They didn't want to die just yet. Hiruma was standing off to the side of the field with Kagome by his side, looking over various play formations and tactics with Doburoku and the trio let out a sigh of relief. They were in the clear.
Even though it looked like their relationship hadn't changed at all, Juumonji and the two knew better. Being alpha males themselves, they could easily recognize and discern any protective male actions. They could see how Hiruma was standing closer to Kagome than he usually did, how he had fewer weapons on when he was near her, or how he had more weapons on was Taki was near her. It was so obvious it was hard not to miss it.
Hiruma liked Kagome.
But they weren't the only ones that knew this. Oh no, they knew for sure that Suzuna was probably the first to realize this. Hell, she probably helped get them together!
The trio felt involuntary shudders run down their backs as Hiruma's gaze swept over them. They stiffened and tired to act normal. Tried.
"S-so yeah, nice blocking!"
"Yeah, we really made a hole for Sena to penetrate!"
"Yeah! It was so big it was like a hot dog down a hallway!"
"What?!"
Well it was a good try and Hiruma had finally taken his eyes off of them so they were okay. They saw Hiruma shoulder his M4A1 Carbine and lean over Kagome's shoulder to take a closer look at what Doburoku was drawing on the whiteboard. Juumonji watched as Kagome unconsciously shifted closer to Hiruma, the side of her head nearly grazing his chin. Kuroki witnessed Hiruma blink and glance down at the crown of her head before nudging her head with his nose. And finally, Toganou saw Kagome tilt her head upwards and place a chaste kiss on Hiruma's jaw line, unseen to everyone except them.
Oh it was so obvious.
The Ha-Ha brothers snickered quietly, finding it all too hilarious that Hiruma, the great demonic control tower, was tamed by a little slip of a girl. The three could stand it no longer and fell into raucous laughter. Poor brothers, that's probably what gave them away.
"HEY FUCKING HA-HA BROTHERS! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU STANDING THERE FOR? PRACTICE!"
Juumonji, Kuroki, and Toganou barely had a chance to react before an array of bullets and a missile was fired from what looked like a FIM-92 Stinger.
That day, the Ha-Ha brothers tested how accurate Hiruma's aim was and also learned to never pry in business that wasn't theirs unless they planned to do some good.
-
Kagome watched with a slight wince as the three blockers scrambled away, dodging bullets and missiles as they went. The poor boys ran screaming wildly, weaving and turning all around the football field. With that speed and dodging ability, they could've been Deimon's new running backs.
Hiruma blew a bubble from beside Kagome and popped it, chewing on it viciously. "Tsk, fucking brothers know more than they should."
Kagome smiled and sidled up beside him, hooking her hand on his bent elbow. "Well we aren't exactly subtle about it you know."
"Keh, the fucking brothers still need to stop shoving their noses in other people's business," he scoffed, spitting his piece of gum out and reaching for another. Kagome intercepted his hand and he looked down at her with a raised eyebrow.
"How can they help it when we do things like this in public?" With a sly grin, Kagome slid her hand in his hair and fisted it, tugging his head down to hers. His nose brushed against hers and their eyes lidded. "I know I wouldn't be able to look away," she muttered quickly before Hiruma leaned in to capture her lips in a sweet kiss.
Hiruma pulled away one last time. "You're lucky you make a better kisser than you do a fullback," he said against her flushed mouth.
"Mmm, you bet I'm lucky," she moaned against his mouth.
And so, the girl who had masqueraded as a boy and the demonic quarterback with questionable methods of persuasion lived happily ever after.
Plus copious amounts of profanity, fits of jealousy, violent silent treatments, and angry sex.
The end.

•○OMAKE•
Kagome sat in her seat glancing at the door every once in a while with nervous eyes. He'd burst through the door any minute now, shouting to the entire classroom that yes, Kagome Higurashi was a girl. She slumped in her chair wearily,. 'Just shoot me, Someone, just shoot me."
Bam! Hiruma burst through the door with a cocky grin and a M4A1 carbine, his handy dandy weapon of choice.
Kagome mentally moaned in anguish. 'No I take that back! I wanted someone just not him!'
"Kekeke! Fucking princess! Fancy seeing you here!" Hiruma's loud voice filtered through the air and Kagome thumped her head on the desk miserably.
'We have the same class you ass. Hey, I just rhymed!'
A meek voice came from the back of the classroom. "Um, wh-why you do you call Kagome fu-fuc-er..princess?" it chirped, unabled to say the foul word that Hiruma said casually like a fucking prefix.
"Eeh? Why do I call the fucking princess fucking princess?" He asked with a brow raised. His face slipped into an evil grin that caused shudders to run down the backs of the students in the classroom, including Kagome was just about ready to fling herself out the window. "Kekeke! Funny you should ask!"
'No…' Kagome slid back further in her seat.
"I think that everyone should know…"
'Oh god no…' Kagome covered her face with her hands.
"Kagome Higurashi is a girl! Kekekeke!"
'Noooooooo!!!'
"YESSSSS!" The sudden howl caught Kagome unawares and she almost tumbled off her seat. She straightened and looked around the classroom in surprise. The room was alive with cheers and passion as a good majority of the boys lept of their seats and started screaming in joy while a majority of the girls were down, weeping their eyes out.
"Whoo hooo! Didja hear that? Higurashi's a girl!"
"I knew it! There's now way a guy could be that pretty!"
"I'm not gay after all!
Kagome sweatdropped at the enthusiastic cries of the refreshened male population and looked on in pity at her fellow women who were sobbing in a conveniently darkened corner of the classroom.
"Whyy! Whyyyy! WHHYYY!?!?"
"Noo! I'll never love again!"
And one disturbing: "YES! I've always wanted to come out of the closet!"
Kagome's eye twitched as she stared at the raucous students. Hiruma stepped beside her and hoisted his gun over his shoulder. She turned to him with a weary look on her face. "You just had to huh?"
"Fuck yeah."
The next day, Kagome came in wearing the girl's uniform.
The reactions were:
"WHOOOHOOOOO!"
"YEAAAH! GOO HIRUMAA!"
"OH BABY!"
Cue gushing nosebleeds and starstruck eyes.
Kagome sighed and and beads of sweat formed.
'This school is so messed up.'

YOU ARE SO FREAKING LUCKY. 31 EFFIN PAGES. You get an omake too? Dayyuumm.....
Oh! Oh! Raise your hand if you saw sexual innuendoes run rampant in this fic! I know i did! XD Blame the "Todd", seriously, too much Scrubs.
Okay, for those of you who didn't get the tape, prewrap thing, i'll explain.
Prewrap is this gauzy stuff you put on your skin beforeyou put the tape on so that taking the tape off won't hurt like a biotch cuz its athletic cloth tape and it stick realllly well.
I did that once for Anime Expo. I taped my chest down with athletic tape but i missed a spot with the prewrap.
I almost cried in the bathroom where i took the tape off cuz it hurt so bad.
Okaaaay, i'll be returning to my lemons now. But don't be surprised if you see some random ficlets!
Peace out!
