I hope you guys didn't expect me so soon, if you did, boy, you have high expectations! But yes, here's a new fic. Just trying something new, i'm still experimenting with how to write. I saw this saved in my files and when i opened it, three pages had already been written but i said, "Might as well." Therefore, you get this two-shot. :D

P.S. I REAAAALLLYYY would like people to start writing Eyeshield 21 fics again and if my writing encourages people to do so, by the gods, i will write like hell.

Disclaimer: I don't own Eyeshield 21 and Inuyasha and anything else i happened to use in this fic that has a copyright lol.

"Gaaaahhh!" Monta screamed towards the sky. "Why does everyone have girlfriends now?"

Sena sweatdropped as his friend shook a large fist at the sky. "U-um I don't think you should say it that loud. People might hear…"

"THIS IS FRUSTRATING MAX!"

Sena visibly slumped. "Monta, I really don't think-"

"MUKYAAAA! Even Yukimitsu-senpai has a girlfriend!" he cried in despair, grabbing Sena's collar and shaking him, nearly making the running back lose his grip on the boxes he held.

Sena cried silent tears while being shaken by Monta. It was true after all, Yukimitsu had gotten a girlfriend. Along with Taki, Mizumachi, Kakei, and even Takami! Needless to say, it had been frustrating some members of Deimon's football team. Namely, Monta, Toganou, and Kuroki. Sena, Juumonji, and the three had been sent to pick up new equipment by a certain demonic quarterback ("GET YOUR FUCKING ASSES THERE BEFORE I SHOOT YOU DOWN!") before the five had run into a rather attractive girl at the sports shop. Much to their dismay, she revealed herself as Yukimitsu's girlfriend, leading to great wails of despair and disbelief.

Due to this revelation, Sena had to endure a walk back filled with the three enthusiastic players shouting their woes to the world. The only person to remain sane along with him was Juumonji.

"GIRLS!"

"I WANT A GIRLFRIEND!"

"MUKYAA! MAMORIIIIIIIIIII-NEESAAANN!"

'I don't know them I don't know them I don't know them…'

But all this talk about relationships suddenly had him curious. He thought back to the players on the team and wondered about their love lives. There was Yukimitsu and Taki, all with girlfriends, though how the former managed to get one eluded him. There was also Ishimaru who was pining after a girl who didn't even know he existed. As for the others, Sena knew that they were all too focused on football to worry about girls.

But he stopped walking abruptly. A thought had occurred to him. Everyone on the team had always thought of Hiruma as someone who would never have a girlfriend. After all, the blond devil lived and breathed football, how would he even have time for one? But this was Hiruma they were talking about. If he could hide an entire island from the Japanese government, one that he bought with his own money, then he could've definitely hid a girlfriend from a couple of nosey teammates. And it wasn't like it was totally out of the question for him to have a girlfriend either, there had been rumors flying around about Hiruma and Mamori having a secret romance in the closets of the club room until Mamori had admitted to having a small crush on a third year at Deimon.

Hm.

Now the real question was, did Hiruma have a girlfriend?

"Sena? What's wrong, why'd you stop?" Juumonji asked, looking over his shoulder, having noticed that Sena had fallen back.

"Ano…do you guys know if Hiruma-san has a girlfriend?"

Dumbstruck faces greeted him.

"Er…guys?"

Monta snapped out of his stupefaction the fastest and immediately struck a thoughtful pose. 'You don't have to do that just to let everyone know you're thinking,' Sena thought in his head.

"Ahh! I see where you're going with this! Because the beautiful Mamori-neesan has denied the rumor of being his girlfriend, Hiruma-san must realize that our love is true and that we belong together and so he has gone and tricked us into thinking he might have a girlfriend so that we would believe that me and Mamori -neesan belong together and support us all the way! I UNDERSTAND!"

The group collectively stared at the now sparkling Monta.

'That made no sense...'

"Ah, you know what? We really don't know anything about Hiruma-san do we?" The others, minus Monta who was still daydreaming wildly, looked at Juumonji curiously, urging him to continue. "I mean, so much of his life is kept secret, maybe he does have a girlfriend we don't know about." Sena, the others, and even Monta gained thoughtful looks, glancing at each other to see what they thought.

"Juumonji, say Hiruma-san really does have a secret girlfriend that we don't know about. If so, why would he keep her a secret?" Sena asked him with the other three listening attentively.

"Well think about it, we all know that Hiruma-san is the devil. A demonic, gun-toting, corrupt, sadistic, blackmailing, trash talking, foul mouthed, unmerciful, manipulative, magnificent bastard, right?" The group listening sweatdropped at all the adjectives.

Sena sobbed mentally, 'Well they're all true...'

"Because he is all of those things, don't you think having a girlfriend would ruin his reputation?"

Sena thought about that question and realized that having a girlfriend would indeed dampen the demonic quarterback's reputation. Being romantic and all cuddly kinda ruined the image of blonde haired gun-toting devil extraordinaire. Kinda. But still…

"That still doesn't answer the question on whether Hiruma-san has a girlfriend or not."

Monta suddenly came alive from his silence and shouted, "Then let's find out!"

•••

Sena and Monta waited anxiously until the school bell rang so they could rush to football practice. Sena nervously looked down at his books while Monta looked at the clock, willing the little black hands to move faster. Today would be the day that they'd start trying to get answers on their unanswered question: Does Hiruma have a girlfriend?

The bell finally rung and the two boys immediately made a grab for their stuff, cramming it into their bags, shooting out the door in a rush with Sena speeding out, making superhuman cuts around the desks and Monta jumping over them. They ran quickly to the clubhouse, hoping to catch Mamori-neesan before she got there. Knowing , he was already at the clubhouse and it wouldn't do them any good if he heard what they wanted to ask her. They bypassed students along the hallways, making papers scatter and skirts fly up much to the delight of the male students who weren't already knocked over. Sena saw a glimpse of the clubhouse through the window and he could see Mamori–neesannot too far away from it.

"Monta! Hurry!" He ran like a hellhound was biting at his feet, shooting pass Monta with ease and widening the gap between them.

"Mukyaaa! Not fair!"

Mamori walked towards the clubhouse, hoping to get some cleaning done before the others got there. She just knew that it'd be a mess seeing how it was a team of guys. Manly, super macho ones, at least. She neared the clubhouse and Cerberus snoozing peacefully with four chains attached to a deathly collar holding it down. She looked at it warily. It was scary how well and Cerberus were made for each other.

Just as she reached the door to the clubhouse, a faint rumble was heard behind her. Mamori turned to look and saw a cloud of dust rapidly approaching.

'S-Sena?'

"MAMORI-NEEESAAANNN! WAIIIIITTT!"

What happened next could only be described as this: SCREEECH! BANG! CLASH!

Mamori stood wide-eyed but unhurt as Monta and Sena lay in a tangled heap before her.

"Sena-kun! Monta-kun! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"N-no no, w-we're fine!" Sena mumbled from his position sprawled on top of a swirly eyed Monta.

"Y-yeah! We're maxi-fine!" Monta managed to wheeze out because Sena's entire body was crushing his upper respiratory system.

"Oh, okay," Mamori said skeptically. "Was there something that you wanted?"

The two boys quickly got off of each other lest any roaming hormonal fangirls saw them and began getting ideas. It was bad enough that football just happened to be a contact sport, one that girls took the wrong way (and happily did so too). Sena had to admit, some of the referee's calls were questionable.

Once the two boys situated their feet firmly on the ground, standing at least a foot apart, Sena turned his attention to Mamori.

"Mamori-neesan? Can we ask you a question?"

"Of course Sena, what is it?"

Sena looked nervously around the area just in case a pointy eared devil was nearby and listening. He didn't even want to know what would happen if happened to hear their conversation. Sena shuddered. God knows what equipment he had on him.

Monta spoke up while Sena was silent due to intense fear and overactive imagination. "Do you know if Hiruma-san has a girlfriend?"

Mamori looked surprised and Monta and Sena leaned in closer. They held their breaths in anticipation as Mamori's eyebrows shot up under her bangs. Sweat slowly trailed down their foreheads as they watched Mamori's mouth open.

"A girlfriend? Didn't you know Kago-"

"HEY FUCKING PIPSQUEAKS! YOU'RE LAATEEE!"

'We were so close!' Sena wailed as Monta and he ran screaming from a bloodthirsty Cerberus that was unleashed upon them. 'Maybe the other three will have better luck with Kurita,' Sena thought to himself hopefully as he ran frantically, not noticing that he had lost Monta.

"MUKYAA! MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN!"

•••

"FUNNURABA!" The Deimon linemen grunted as they pushed against the blocking sleds. They had been practicing since 6 a.m. and after 3 hour continuous hours, they were still going strong. Juumonji, Kuroki, and Toganou felt fatigue heavy in their bodies but they kept pushing. It was soon though that Kurita stopped practice and the three collapsed gratefully on the ground.

"Good job everyone! We really did well today!" Kurita stood triumphantly with Komusubi next to him in the same pose. "Okay! Let's put all the equipment away!"

The three delinquents slowly got up and got to dragging the blocking sleds to where they kept them for storage. They followed Kurita and Komusubi and watched as Kurita singlehandedly drag the sleds while Komusubi doubled back to grab the other equipment they left behind. Juumonji, Kuroki, and Toganou exchanged knowing glances.

"Alright, we'll just leave them there until tomorrow morning!" Kurita clapped his hands together to remove the dust. Toganou and Kuroki looked at each other before turning towards Juumonji with encouraging looks. They nudged him forward towards Kurita, urging him to ask the question that was on their minds. Juumonji scowled at them for double teaming him but he approached Kurita anyways.

"Hey..Kurita-san? Does…does Hiruma-san have a girlfriend?" All three of the brothers' eyes were wide and pinned upon the large form anxiously.

"Hiruma-kun?" Kurita tapped his chin with a finger and looked up at the sky in wonder.

Juumonji, Kuroki, and Toganou all leaned forward in anticipation.

"Well…he has Mamori-san and Suzuna-chan as friends I'm sure. So yes! He does have a girlfriend! Wasn't it obvious?" Kurita smiled happily at his answer, hands clapping together in joy.

Everyone around him face-planted.

"NOT LIKE THAAATTT!" the Hah Brothers howled at him.

"Oh?" Kurita blinked innocently. "Like how then? I mean, they are girls and they are his friends?"

Juumonji did everything in his power not to slap his forehead in dismay. 'Can someone be this ignorant?'

"That's not what I meant Kurita-san," said Juumonji, rubbing the back of his neck. "I meant like, does he have a specific…er…companion? You know, like an actual relationship where they…" he cringed, "kiss and..stuff."

Kurita's mouth formed an 'o' in realization. "Ohhh! You mean like Higu-"

"LET'S FUCKING PRACTIICCEEEE KEKEKEKEKE!" came a diabolical yell from around the corner, sending shivers up the foursome's backs.

Kurita sweatdropped nervously, "Er, let's go greet Hiruma-san! Hahaha!" and with that, he took off towards Hiruma who was dragging Sena and Monta through the gate, leaving the three delinquents behind with gaping mouths.

'HE WASN'T FINISHED SAYING THE NAME!'

•••

"Higu and Kago is all we fucking have?" Juumonji grumbled.

Sena and Monta nodded pathetically.

"Arrgghh, we don't even know what those mean! Are they two separate names? Nicknames? Which one is the first name? Which one's last?" Juumonji dropped his head into his hands and muttered to himself. Sena let out a deep breath and slumped in his seat.

"So what do we do?" Kuroki asked, shrugging on his school jacket as Toganou closed his locker.

"I guess we keep an eye out for anyone with names close to that?"

"Waaahh there's tons of people with names starting with Kago and Higu at Deimon!" Monta complained. "There's Kagoshima in class 1 and then there's Higuchi in second year!"

"Yeah, there's too many people with those syllables in their names," Sena whimpered.

Juumonji sighed and propped his head up with his hand. "We just gotta look around then and hope for the best."

The five sighed heavily and trudged out of the locker rooms.

This was one hard mission.

•••

The next day, Sena walked to the clubhouse alone. Monta had to stay back and talk to the teacher about a poor grade on his math test. Sena sighed to himself, neither Monta nor he got anywhere solving the mystery of Hiruma's love life. They had talked to their three accomplices who had managed to get the first syllable of a name that may or may not belong to Hiruma's girlfriend. But it still wasn't much to go on, there were plenty of students at Deimon whose names started with 'Kago' and 'Higu'. Sena shook his head as he walked. 'We aren't gonna get anywhere at this rate,' he sobbed.

All of a sudden, he bumped into a slender, feminine body.

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

"E-excuse me! I'm terribly sorry!" Sena hurriedly apologized and fell into multiple bows, his early habits kicking in. "I didn't see you there and it's all my fault I wasn't watching!"

"Oh no please! Don't say that!" At the nice sounding voice, Sena looked up and saw an attractive girl with bright blue eyes and long, wavy black hair. "It's my fault too, I was a bit preoccupied too." The girl blushed embarrassedly and smiled nervously at Sena. He ducked shyly, feeling the tips of his ears turn red.

"O-oh no," he coughed, "its fine…" he trailed off.

The girl's face brightened considerably and she smiled beautifully at him.

Sena's eyes widened in awe. Her smile is like a weapon, it's so pretty….

He raised a hand and coughed into it, averting his eyes. A small gasp drew his attention before he realized that his hand was grabbed away from his face. The girl was staring at the watch on his arm with panic.

"Is that really the time?" she dropped his arm and bowed quickly at him as he stood there numbly. "I'm so sorry but I have to run! I'm going to be late for my bus home!" With that, she sprinted off and Sena could only nod in shock.

He shook himself out of his stupor when he heard gunshots in the distance. He didn't want to find out what his punishment would be if he came late to practice. Sena looked up and saw the clubhouse straight ahead and something clicked in his head.

Why was that girl coming from the clubhouse's direction?

•••

"So? Did you two get anything new?" Juumonji nodded at the two seated in front of him. Sena and Monta shook their heads negative and sunk into their chairs.

"Mukyaaa we've been looking for clue from everyone but every time we bring it up again to Mamori-neesan, she just avoids the subject!" Monta crossed his arms and glared at his French fries.

Beside him Sena nodded, "We can't ask Kurita-san either. Ever since you three asked him, he's been dodging the question. He keeps saying 'Oh I don't know what you're talking about!' and then runs away."

Juumonji sighed and rubbed his forehead. Sena and Monta, including his group of three had settled at a burger place nearby to discuss their data and future plans. So far, they were getting nowhere.

"Well, how about this. From Mamori-san and Kurita-san's reactions and suspicious behavior, we can conclude that Hiruma-san has talked to them and convinced them not to say to anything." Juumonji put air quotes around the word 'talked' because everyone knows that when Hiruma needs to convince someone to do something, talking wasn't exactly the thing he did. And he continued, since apparently, he was the intelligent one of the group. "From that, we can probably assume that both of them have something to hide."

"Something to hide…?" Kuroki piped up, pausing his eating to contribute to the conversation at hand.

Juumonji picked at a French fry. "You know? Something to hide…like maybe Hiruma-san has a girlfriend that both Mamori-san and Kurita-san know about and they just can't tell us?"

Silence greeted him.

Juumonji looked up from his food and saw identical faces of glee around him. 'Could they really not figure that out themselves…?'

Sena shakily raised his hand. "Um, guys? What if Hiruma-san actually doesn't have a girlfriend and there's some dark, horrible reason as to why he doesn't?"

They all exchanged glances and slowly thought about various reasons as to why Hiruma would need that information hidden.

Chills ran down their spines.

Sena quietly grabbed a fry and munched away as the door behind him dinged cheerfully. A girl swept by their table, black skirt fluttering behind her before she froze and backpedaled.

"Uh, excuse me?"

The table's occupants looked up curiously and Sena almost choked on his fry.

'It's that girl I saw yesterday!'

She smiled prettily down at them and Sena felt the familiar burning of his neck, able to control it and not get too flustered. The other four were not so lucky seeing as Toganou had all but melted into seat, nearly hiding behind his Shonen Jump and Kuroki looked torn between gawking at the girl or staring down his burger and fries to avoid further embarrassment. Juumonji was fairing a little better than his two friends, managing to look somewhat civil, if not a bit red. Monta was a lost cause.

"You're Sena-kun and Raimon-kun aren't you?" she asked, nodding towards Sena's side of the table, "And you're Juumonji-kun, Kuroki-kun and Toganou-kun!" she added, looking at the other side.

They all blinked in surprise.

"Uh, yeah?" Juumonji raised a blonde eyebrow. "How do you know all of our names?"

"Well you guys are on the football team," she said like it was obvious.

"Y-you watch f-football?" Monta sputtered, rising out of his seat. Sena prepared to hold him down in case he jumped out of his seat in excitement.

The girl nodded her black head enthusiastically. "Mhm! I come to almost all of your games! You guys are wonderful on field!" Her blue eyes sparkled at them and she nodded genuinely.

Monta fainted into his seat and if Sena looked close enough, he could see hearts in his eyes. The three Hah brothers on the other side had been reduced down to mumbling puddles of gratefulness.

"Call in order number 1 is ready! For a…Hig-"

"Oh that's me!" She fell into a short bow and waved, "It was nice talking to you guys!"

The boys just nodded (Monta drooled a little) and watched as she grabbed her order and walked out the door. The bell dinged as she exited, waking them from their stupor.

"Guys…what just happened."

The tablemates exchanged helpless looks. Monta mumbled some gibberish that sounded like 'soul mate' and 'beautiful'.

Sure they could face huge, bulking, monsters for athletes but when faced with one single attractive girl, they completely lost their ability to make casual conversation.

We're pathetic,' Sena thought, a huge sweatdrop on his head.
