I'm so sorry you guys it took me so long to give you this. I had started this Monta story 3 years ago in the hopes of it being a quick one shot, but it is now over 15 pages long and is still being written. (major writers block.) I'm a little stuck on the Agon Sena story, so I'm going to start the 3 page story of Monta. And when I'm finished I may take a different approach with the Agon Sena story. (may not like it).
I can explain why I've been quiet for the past few year. 3 years ago my sister gave birth to my nephew. I've been taking care of him since. Well now he's in school… for half the day. Been that way for a while but a little before he entered school she gave birth to my other nephew… which ended up locking me down in the no life department, cause now I'm taking care of this little one as well. However because my mother happens to favor this grandchild of hers, I have more free time on my hands. Thus I will try to resume this story as best as I can.
Before we resume the story, I want to thank all of you for the reviews. They mean a lot to me. And I hope you can forgive me.
Disclaimer- I own… Absolutely nothing but the ideals from my imagination.
Pairing- Monta x ?
Anime- Eyeshield 21
If Agon Says so…. Then X
This is a side story that Agon has no say in.
IF Sena Say's so then.
Never Say Never.
Or if Hiruma Say's so then
You'll remember.
"Oi! Sena, you haven't been hanging around here as much." Monta walked up to Sena, practice had just ended and he was a little curious as to why the running back was in a hurry to leave. "Where do you go?"
"Well." Sena started he turned towards Monta but avoided eye contact. His index fingers tapped together repeatedly, he began to blush. "After practice I usually go and practice with…Agon."
Monta laughed. "You actually like him?"
"Well… yeah."
"I don't know how you do it." Monta said scratching his head.
"Do what?"
"You know…fall for the enemy." Monta wrapped an arm around his body and stuck his index finger in the air. "Especially one that's as equally evil as Hiruma.
"He's not that bad." Sena laughed nervously, then looked to the side. 'Hiruma's Much worse.' He turned back to Monta. "I don't expect you to understand, but it just happened."
Monta stared at his smiling friend. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that Sena was actually happy with that…Person.
"Hm…Your right. I don't understand." Monta scratched the side of his head and smiled. "But I guess I'm happy for you."
"Really."
"Yeah, We are best friends…But you know"
"Hm?" Sena cocked his head to the side.
"If it were me. I would never fall for the enemy."
"You know Monta." Sena smiled. " You should never say neve…"
"SENA!" Mamori called cutting him off. Sena froze and went completely pale.
"Oi, What's wrong you look sick." Monta took a step forward.
"Monta." Sena tone became more serious. He placed his hand on the monkey's shoulders. Monta couldn't help but notice that his friend looked very desperate. "Could you cover for me with Mamori.
Monta quirked and eyebrow. 'Was that all?'
"If she finds out where I'm going. She'll make me do all kinds of things just to keep me here."
"I'll do it!" Monta exclaimed way more excited then Sena thought he'd be. Not realizing that if it had anything to do with the creampuff loving girl, he would do it no questions asked.
"Sena!" Mamori called again, she was getting closer.
"Monta." Sena placed his other hand on Monta's shoulder and he looked into his eyes, yellow stars in his own. "Thank you." And he dashed out the door with the speed of light.
"Sena!" Mamori called again.
Monta smiled, thinking about what could happen next.
~:'In a dream bubble, Mamori stood in front of Monta blushing, the air around her sparkling with beauty.
"Well I got two movie tickets to a scary movie." Mamori paused blushing even harder. "But since Sena not here maybe you could come with me?"
Monta grinned like a mad perverted man.
"I'd love to." He said turning his head off to the side to utter the words 'Chance Max.'
~At the movies~
"Kyaaaaaa!" Mamori screamed. A horror movie played in the background, her head buried in Monta's chest.
"Don't worry I'll protect you." He said in an extremely fake manly voice. He placed his hand on her head and she looked up at him. They looked into each others eyes. There faces gradually grew closer, and then…Poof!':~
"Sena!"
"Monta pulled from his day dream, yelled 'coming' and he ran out the door towards her voice.
~:~
"How'd I get here?" Monta exhaled, he leaned over and water some dahlias in a tight corner, watering the last of the flowers around the school.
"How'd this happen?" He asked himself, he poured the rest of the water in the green can(1) out on the grass and headed for the roof.
Somehow someway instead of going out to the movies or on a date like he had hoped…dreamed he would, he instead ended up helping Mamori with her school choirs.
"Arghh. Its impossible to say no when she asks me like that." Monta rubbed the underside of his nose. He exhaled again. He imagined Mamori about 15 minutes ago. Her hands clasped together, her pleading eyes staring at him asking him to help her. "Man she's so cute."
Monta reached the schools roof minutes later, He thanked god when he walked over toward the green house and notice that the school had a watering system installed and all he would have to do was monitor it for a few minutes.
"Lucky!" Monta exhaled thankfully. He walked in and set the waterering can(1) to the side and set the system to mist for 5 minutes, before walking back out. Now all he had to do was wait and see if the mister turned off after five minutes and then he could go home.
Monta took a few steps towards the fence at the edge of the roof. Smiling he looked up at the sky.
"I wonder why Mamori was so in a hurry to finish." He watched the clouds slowly float by. He noticed that one looked a lot like a cream puff…'Mamori's favorite treat.' His arm stretched out and his finger automatically pointed towards it.
"And that one a football." Monta laughed to himself and glanced at the next cloud.
"That one… kind of looks." He paused squinting his eyes and stepping up to the fence. "…like Cere-."
Before Monta could finish his sentence, Jumonji ran threw the rooftop door yelling and screaming while Hiruma's dog chased after him. He spun around to look at the older boy running for dear life.
"Oi…Wha-" Monta started but was brought to silence when Jumonji doubled back and with great force pushed him out of the way just to escape the demon dog.
Monta fell back hard against the fence. He winced his back hitting the metal secure poll, the bending fence producing a loud snapping sound. His eyes widened as his body proceeded to fall backwards instead of stopping. Finally he lost his footing completely and his body rolled off and flung itself into the air like a piece of paper caught by the wind.
"Mukyaa~!" Monta squeaked out, feeling gravity take over and began pulling him down. His eyes scanned his surrounding, and he reached out to grabbed the first thing he saw.
"Catch Max!" Even in a life or death situation, he never fails to say it.
Monta winced, his back stinging a bit. He looked down, part of and pieces of the fence hitting the ground with a thud that sounded quite soft from where he hung. He couldn't help but think about how that could have been him, there was no way he could survive a 4 story fall, and if he could his injuries would surely be severe.
"Misfortune Max!" He grunted out dangling by the top rail he had been so lucky to grab. His heart raced, almost as if it was trying to escape his body. He tightened his grip, gritting his teeth, the pressure on his right arm starting to kick in. Yet despite it all his mind stayed calm.
'Ok the roofs edge is about 6 feet away.' He nodded, six feet wasn't that far. All he had to do was grab it right? Monta turned his head to the side and let out a shaky breath. There was no way it could be as easy as it sounded.
Even so Monta began to slowly and if possible softly rock his body back and forth, gaining the momentum needed to get a good swing. He reached his hand out, inches away. He rocked his body back even more, and swung himself towards the ledge.
"Almost there." His outstretched arm strained to touch the rooftop. He held his breath and forced his hand to stretch out farther then ever. His fingers grasped the edge and he smiled releasing his breath.
SNAP!
Something, Monta wasn't sure what it was but something snapped and before he could find out his body was forced away from the roof, the top rail he so desperately held on to separating from the fence.
SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!
Monta jerked at each snap and was forced farther away from the schools roof, by the third snap and jerk Monta's grip gave way, leaving him to fall and plummet to his death.
"Crap." He squeaked out falling to his doom.
~:~The End~:~
A/N: SO how was it?
…
*Dodges flying objects.* … *Laughs nervously* Just Kidding!…
''The End' has been revoked.'
Luckily for Monta, the top rail he had been holding on to forced him away from the school and above a tree. As he fell he disappeared into the red and yellow leaves, his body falling on and breaking branch after branch. He reached his hand up and grasped one.
The pressure on his arms increased tenfold as all of his weight plus the momentum his body gained from falling was concentrated on his wrist and shoulder. The branch snapped but thanks to his quick thinking his drop speed was slower then before. He continued falling, bright red and yellow blurs of color zooming past his eyes,
Monta clamped his eyes shut and tightened his muscles, readying himself for when he hit that cold hard ground.
…
There was a soft thud and he felt himself stop. That was strange. He had stopped but he didn't feel any pain, in fact he felt… pretty comfortable.
"Are- you ok?" There was a voice, deep, masculine and very familiar. Monta turned his head towards the sound and forced an eye open. Monta's heart skipped a beat, his other eye snapping open, instantly coming in contact with brown ones that looked down at him with great concern.
"Uh…" Monta stammered, swallowing hard. "Tetsuma-san?" He looked down at the arms holding him close. 'DOKI! DOKI!'(2)
Tetsuma nodded his head, more vigorous then needed, unconsciously tightening his hold on Monta.
Monta blushed and averted his eyes, he looked up at the schools roof. The top rail bent and slightly rocking back and forth. 'That's a long drop.' He thought. He let out a breath of air. He had been doing that a lot lately but this was the first one today he had let out simply out of relief. He looked back up at Tetsuma and smiled.
"Thanks. You really saved my life.
Tetsuma blushed and looked away, Monta blushing as well didn't notice and looked down.
"Um. You can let me go now." He managed to say despite the embarrassment that started to rub itself in.
"Oh…Sorry." Tetsuma apologized and lightly set Monta down.
Once Monta's feet touched the ground he took a few steps back to create some much needed distance between the two. He looked around, he was really on the ground. He smiled he had a sudden urge to kiss the dirt he stood on but quickly pushed that thought aside, he'd do it later when there wasn't anyone watching. He took another step back this time tripping over a rock.
Tetsuma reacted fast, catching Monta before he could hit the ground.
"heh.' Monta laughed nervously, today was just not his day. He had nothing but bad luck. First it was with the flowers, then he just happened to fall off the roof, it doesn't get any worse then that and now tripping over a rock in front of Tetsuma. Life was being cruel to him.
"Thanks again." Monta lightly and politely pushed Tetsuma's arms away from him. He stood up straight. "Well." He started again, stepping back. "I gotta go, and uh…check the water, something." Monta shook his head he couldn't think straight, he shot an apologetic look towards Tetsuma and ran off.
Tetsuma thought nothing of it, he nodded and began to walk off. He stopped when he heard his name. He turn back and there stood Monta a few yards away from him bowing.
"Really…Thank you!" He said cheerfully raising his head and giving Tetsuma a big smiled.
Tetsuma heart skipped a beat and for the third time that day he blushed, as the younger boy ran off, out of site.
Seconds later Kid walked up right behind him.
"Look at you steaming like a teapot." Kid grinned, he looked up at the schools roof and damaged fence his grin fading. 'How unfortunate.' he thought.
"So. Did you tell him?" Kid asked, softly elbowing his large love struck friend.
Tetsuma said nothing.
Kid lowered his head and place his fingers on the edge of his hat, tilting it a bit forward. "I thought not."
~:~
"What the hell was that?" Monta yelled, kicking the side of the school. He winced when his foot hit the wall, shaking his entire body, wakening the pains his body had a acquired from falling.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch." Monta drop to the floor and curled up, he wrapped his arms around his aching body, clutching his arm and sides. 'crap' he thought enduring the pain as best as he could. His grasp tightened. An image of Tetsuma holding him close floated threw his mind.
Monta eyes snapped open. 'What the hell!' He shook his head ferociously, laying there trying to force Tetsuma out of his mind. Not at all realizing that Hiruma had walked up to him a gun resting on his shoulder as always.
"Oi. Fucking monkey." Hiruma cursed. He kicked Monta on the back in the mist of blowing a huge bubble.
Monta cringed, even though the kick had been light, a jolt of pain shot threw his body. He cried out jumping up and staring at Hiruma with a 'Why'd the hell you do that?' face.
"That was quite a bit of falling you did just now." Hiruma said, giving Monta his signature grin. (3)
Monta's face changed. He scratched his head and looked away embarrassed. "Oh…He he You saw that?" A long second passed before Monta registered what Hiruma said completely. "Wait you saw that and you didn't think to help?"
Hiruma just ignored him. He walked up and grabbed Monta by the chin. He forced the younger boy's mouth open and dropped a small white pill inside. "Swallow it." His said forcing Monta's mouth closed.
Monta confused and a bit scared, did as he was told and gulped it down.
"What was it?" He asked.
Hiruma looked to the side, his face serious as he laughed on the inside. "Pain killer."
"Really. Thanks I guess."
Hiruma shoulders shook, his laughter trying to escape him.
"He he he, Shitty monkey."
Monta answered with a 'huh'. He looked at Hiruma, the yellow haired demon eyes glowed. His tongue moved in a irregular way as he held his hands up, his fingers wiggled as if trying to trap him. Monta stepped back unconsciously. It could have easily been his imagination but sometimes Hiruma looked like that and he wasn't going to chance it.
"There's a meeting at nine. Don't be late." Hiruma shot a few rounds in the air and laughed. "Got that?"
"Yes!" Monta answered.
"Good." Hiruma started to laugh, walking away from Monta. It wasn't long until he was out of site and when he was Monta let out a breath. Somehow someway he felt he had just escaped death. Again!
~:~9:27 that night~:~
"Crap I'm late." Monta squeaked running in haste towards the club house. If he didn't get there quick Hiruma would have his neck. Monta stopped and shivered at the thought. He immediately started running at full speed again, when he realized his actions would cause his thoughts to become reality.
He reached the club house moments later almost a complete 30 minutes late. Just two minutes to spare from the thirty minutes Hiruma would allow him or any other deimon team member to take. Monta spent a few seconds catching his breath, he had to open that door within the next minute or he'd have to face the wrath or Hiruma.
He reached his hand out to turn the knob. And stopped. Something didn't feel right. Every instinctive bone in his body was telling him not to open that door. Monta bit his bottom lip. He could hear chatter, and light laughter… and was that… Sakaraba voice? Monta's eyes widened, he wanted to go in now. If his curiously wasn't enough or even the simple thought of…'The wrath of Hiruma' couldn't make his hand work, his rivalry with the older teen should have done it.
So he took a deep breath and reached out for the knob once more. Without realizing it he stopped again. He growled under his breath, it just didn't feel right to touch that knob or to even be near the door. He took a few steps back, surprised when he felt his elbow hit something. He turned around quickly and came face to face with Tetsuma,
"uh…" Monta blushed and turned his head to the side. What the hell was wrong with him. It was just Tetsuma. All he had to do was say "Hi"… that should be easy enough right. Then why couldn't he do just that?
"Uh…um…you…"
"…" Tetsuma said nothing as always.
"T-t-tetsuma-san. What…What are you doing here?" 'stupid stupid stupid' Monta mentally slapped himself.
Tetsuma lifted a piece of paper up, his face extremely red.
"Uh." Monta wasn't sure what to do. He looked at the paper confused. After a moment he grabbed the paper and began reading it.
"Dear Tetsuma, Joe
I Raimon Taro would like to thank you for your help this afternoon, and to show you my appreciation I would like you to be my d-date for the deimon club meeting.. If you accept, please meet me at the deimon clubhouse at 9:30, don't be late… Forever yours, Monta….Ya-ha-max…" There was a long pause.
"F-f-f-forever yours!" Monta stuttered, crying out as he tore the letter to shreds. And stomping the pieces that fell to the ground. "Date!" That demon quarter back…Damn him. Monta looked over towards Tetsuma, he was just standing there staring.
"Uh…" Monta trailed off. What the hell was he going to tell him 'this letter is a fake I didn't write this, so you can go.' He couldn't say that, not after Tetsuma had came all this way to be his d-date…Although Monta assumed that Tetsuma came because the letter clearly told him not to be late.
"I." Monta paused. He should tell him the truth…Right? "I didn't write this."
Tetsuma's face didn't change, but something told Monta that he was feeling down about what he had just heard. 'Crap' Monta mentally kicked him self again, he had to make a recovery.
"But, I do want to thank you for earlier." Almost immediately Monta felt the air around Tetsuma brighten up, he let out a breath and added. "Just…not here."
Monta turned his head towards the bright red door, the entrance of the devils bat club house. A dark and demonic aura sort of oozed from it.
"This feels like a trap." Monta took a step away from the door and Tetsuma nodded somewhat under standing Monta. "Suspicious max!"
Monta wrapped and arm around his waist and placed his hand on his chin and achieved the thinking pose.
"You know I know this great place about 2 blocks from here, they serve the most delicious drinks." Monta turned around and began to walk away, he stopped when he realized Tetsuma wasn't following him. Monta turned around and smiled at him.
"Come on…Follow me." He instructed and began to walk off again this time with Tetsuma following. Not realizing that the choice he had just made would cause him to lose something very important to him.
A/N: Monta and Tetsuma have to be the hardest pairing I have ever wrote about.
1) That makes sense. Thank you! ca186229
2) I think it's the sound the heart makes when your in L-O-V-E! Yay! I've always wanted to use that in a story.
3) Stole that from hoodwinked.
