(Chapter Five - The Football Game)

It was a new day, the day when Maya was going to attend Sena's big football game. It was almost 7:00 and Maya was getting ready to go to the stadium. She was sitting down on a small chair, looking at herself through her make-up mirror as she combed through her long, chestnut brown hair. While she was fixing up her hair, she was thinking about what she did yesterday.

"He probably doesn't want to see me anymore because of that," she whined to herself, her voice sounding so pitiful. She honestly didn't know why she even did that. Her body seemed to have moved on its own, it was as if her very own heart commanded her to kiss him.

She felt like she rushed things far too quickly. He never said he liked her or anything, they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, and they only knew each other for two days, so why did she feel this way towards him? She found it hard to believe that she was actually in love with him, but for those past two days she has spent with him, he was all she was thinking about.

"Why? Why can't I get him out of my mind? We're only friends and I practically just met him." Millions and millions of thoughts were getting jumbled up inside of her mind all at once, her head began to hurt she was thinking so much.

"I love him," she suddenly whispered, a gasp of wide-ranging shock following soon after. She didn't want to say that, she had absolutely no intent desire to speak such words, but she did. Saying this made her feel so funny, so weird. The befuddled, young girl stared at herself through the mirror, trying to come to terms with her true feelings.

Nobody she has ever met made her feel so happy before, that is until she met him. Something about him felt so connecting to her, a feeling of a strong bond. "I… love him?" she spoke, her fingers tenderly touching her lips as she thought about the event that took place at her doorstep the other day.

"It is love, it has to be love! There's no other reason why I would think about him all of time and feel like this. I never felt like this before, well maybe a little towards some boys I met in the past, but never like this." After talking to herself for a while, she got all dressed up and left from her house, now on her way to the football game.

It was only a matter of time before the game began, and Sena was just about ready to head out. He was thinking about Maya all day long today. Ever since he met her he thought about her, he even realized that he was in love with her, but after she kissed him on the cheek, he now sincerely knew that he was deeply in love with her.

He loved her personality; it was pretty much the most attractive thing about her to him. She is so innocent and pure; he never met such a wholesome girl before. Her beautiful looks also stole his heart; he couldn't stare at her for too long, because if he did he'd start blushing. Just thinking about her put a tepid, soothing feeling inside of his body, he wanted to see her again so much. "Kitajima," he sighed in delight, images of the girl flooding inside of his mind.

"Alright, let's kill these guys! Ya-ha!" Hearing this made the boy snap out of his trance and into the game. He stood up, put on his helmet, and then started to run with his fellow teammates. When Sena ran out into the vast football field, he quickly realized how hard it would be to spot Maya in this extremely large crowd. Heck, she probably didn't even come here.

The team did notice that the crowd was larger than it ordinarily is; this was actually the biggest audience they have ever seen. The loud cheers of the fans sounded nearly deafening.

"There sure are a lot of people here," Monta said nervously.

"So many people," Kurita wailed.

Hiruma noticed Sena looking around; he could tell he was trying to spot somebody. "Looking for somebody?" asked the sadistic blonde.

He turned and looked at him as he said back, "Uh, n-no?" He was so obvious, but Hiruma didn't really pay him much heed. The game started soon, and the more the game went on the more Sena tried to look for Maya, but he didn't see her anywhere. The fact that she didn't seem to be there made him upset, and to top it all off he wasn't doing so good during this game, but he was doing good enough to keep the game tied, same for the other team members.

Seijuro Shin was indeed better than before. Poor Sena couldn't keep this up. Time flew by, it was now the fourth quarter, the score tied at 34 to 34, time was almost out, and if the D-Bats didn't make this play, the game would switch into overtime. Hiruma handed Sena the ball and he made a run for it, the time was almost out, and Shin was running straight towards Sena.

"It's over, it's all over! I can't do this! I'm too scared!" the fast running boy began to say this inside of his head, he was doubting himself and he really didn't believe he could do this, that was until he heard the voice of the angel he's been dying to see all day.

"You can do it, Kobayakawa! You can win this game!" cheered the cute, brunette girl in the crowd. Time seemed to have slowed down as he turned his head and looked at her. His eyes came in contact with her beautiful face, the girl encouraging him to keep going; he told her about him being Eye-shield 21. Words couldn't describe how happy he was to see her here.

Where was she before? Was she always here? Seeing her again, and what she was saying, stuck something inside of him, something that struck his soul with confidence that could never be broken. He then unleashed Speed of Light Pace, shouting a loud, "WHOO!" as he busted out with extreme speed; this made them win the game.

Yeah… that's it for now ^_^.
