Chapter 2: The wager
"Mamori! Mamori will you wait a damn minute and tell me what's going on with you and You-nii?"
Mamori stopped what she was doing as she closed the door of the clubhouse behind her and looked towards Suzuna scaring her a little bit with the competitive gleam in her eye swirling around her pupil like fire.
"Suzuna, this is it! This is our big chance, the chance we've been waiting for!" Mamori laughed picking up her coat and shrugging it on, Suzuna sweat dropped slightly and watched as she picked her bag up and place the broom and apron neatly in their places.
"Mamori-chan...What on earth are you talking about?" Mamori ran past her to the left to pick up a clipboard.
"Who's this we?" She followed Mamori with her eyes as she ran to her right to pick up her scarf and umbrella.
WHAT CHANCE!" The small cheerleader yelled as Mamori ran past her for a third time stilling the older brunette's movement.
Mamori stopped and sweatdropped at her sudden burst of out of characterness and sat down on one of the clubhouse chairs urging Suzuna to sit down also.
"Gomen Suzuna, this probably would make a lot more sense if I explained this to you..." Mamori sighed the smile still on her face.
Suzuna pouted and sat down opposite the teams manager. "Yes it WOULD"
"Y'see Suzuna..."

"Tch what a pile of crap,"
Mamori looked up from her cleaning to frown at one Youichi Hiruma as he began scanning an internet page on his laptop, she shrugged and resumed cleaning leaving him to continue with what he was doing.
"Woman's league? Give me a damn break,"
Mamori stopped and walked behind Hiuma to see what he was reading now that he had grabbed her intrest, she leaned against the broom and looked down at the blonde haired quarterback.
"Oh I see you've seen this too! It's great isn't it?" Mamori smiled as she regarded the web page, she had seen it earlier when her friend Yumiko showed her, it was basically a sports flash about the rise and rise of professional woman american football teams and how some had even began breaking records their fellow male players had set.
"Great? Tch, if that's what you want to call it sure," Hiruma sighed deleting the mail alert and sighing as he popped another bubble before spitting it straight into the bin.
Mamori cocked an eyebrow. "Oh? And what exactly do you mean by that Hiruma?"
Hiruma gave her a bored look and simply stated "Everyone knows that when faced against eachother, a Male will obviously overcome a female."
Mamori's temple twitched and she placed a hand on her hip, the other still holding the neck of the broom.
"In strength maybe, but you of all people should now that against speed stregth is virtually useless,"
"And your point is?" Hiruma asked observing Mamori upside down as he bent his head back, he stared at her as she resumed cleaning, his eyes narrowed.
"Well, it's a well known fact that girls ARE faster than boys!" she smiled sickeningly sweet at him.
Hiruma turned around in his chair and raised an eyebrow at her, Mamori sensing his gaze upon her stopped also and turned to look at him both hands still on the broom.
"Bullshit" he said slowly placing another piece of gum in his mouth.
"It's true we learned it last year in bioligy class," Mamori said primly her eyes challenging that of the demon's in front of her.
"Are you trying to tell me there's girls out there that are faster than that Fucking pipsqueak or even that damn oujou guy?" Hiruma questioned in the way that a challenge was starting to form.
Mamori's eyes narrowed at the profanity but she simply nodded.
"I don't know any myself but Im sure of it," she smiled "And I'm ALSO sure that if Sena were a girl then he would be faster." she added before Hiruma could cut in.
Hiruma in reply barked out a short mocking laugh as he turned off his laptop. He stood up, one hand on the chair the other on his hip, he stilll wore his football jersey over his black school slacks and took a long hard look at Mamori.
"Alright then damn manager, we got speed, strength what about skill?" He placed his laptop in his protective case and Mamori registered how is long hands gently carried it almost like the way she saw him do when he idly held a football.
"How many broads do you know have a mind skilled enough to formulate a plan in mere seconds?"he continued as he tugged off his jersey causing her to blush slightly at the sight of naked flesh.
"All while being chased by three men and STILL have the time to have your brain tell your legs to fucking run?" as he finished buttoning his school shirt he walked up to her, picking up his school bag and (no doubt) another bag filled with illegal firearms.
"Well?" he egged.
Mamori smiled at him and placed three fingers in front of his face.
"Three, I know three perfectly capable WOMEN able to do exactly the same quality of job you,Takami and Kid do," she went on to count them off her fingers,
"Me,Megu Tsuyumine and Katsuki Konjo" she said keeping eye contact with him.
Hiruma's mouth twitched in a humour filled smirk and he shook his head,
"You? And those other damn side liners? keh keh keh, don't be stupid fucking manger faced against us boys it's quite obvious you would lose, in fact I'm insulted you think you would win against me," he smirked as he made his way to the door.
"Oh? How do you know Hiruma? Ever played against a girl before?"
"Ever heard the fucking put down 'you play like a fucking girl' damn manager? That means you played SHIT? Understand? S-H-I.."
"I'm aware of it's spelling Hiruma!" Mamori fumed and Hiruma's eyes danced with glee at her frustration and he made his delight known by his little bout of laughter.
"Aww, Don't get mad fuckng manager it'll give you wrinkles" he jabbed watching as her face went slack and she turned to resume cleaning.
"Hmph, it's quite obvious you're just too scared to face against us girls," Mamori stared at him form the corner of her eye.
Hiruma returned the stare and the brew of a challenge seemed to reach boiling point as the two began their stare out, Hiruma raised an eyebriw.
"Ohhh? What exactly are you planning fucking manager?" he asked.
"Three challenges based on Strength, Speed and Skill," she answered quickly, the challenge now steaming.
"I take it there'll be two teams? One completely filled with guys the other broads?" Hiruma enquired the challenge bubbling dnagerously.
"One goal," Mamori smiled as he began to take the bait.
"To see which gender wear's the football uniform better?"Hiruma asked his voice laced with slight ridicule.
The challenge ready to be served piping hot was suddenly extinguished when Hiruma kicked down the door and let a cold breeze into the clubhouse and blow around stray paers around the room.
"Please, I have more fucking important things to do than beat down little girls fucking manager!" He cackled into the nights sky.
"H-Hiruma-kun! I just cleaned this place!" Mamori screamed thoguht's of the challenge pushed to the back of her mind as she stared at the wind raked room.
"And you better have it cleaned and be fucking gone by the time I get back fucking manager!" his voice teased her
"HIRUMAAA!" Mamori screamed in aggravation walking towards the door and slamming it shut but not until the sound of a victorious 'Ya-ha' met her ears
"And that's the whole of it," Hiruma cackled as he told the same story to the Deimon's kicker beside him, Musashi sighed from the area of grass he was lying on and fixed Hiruma with a tired gaze.
"Damnit Hiruma, I was looking foreward to just kicking back over the next two weeks off, why'd you have to go and put a challenge of all things in my plan especially one concerning football?"
"Keh keh keh, don't be such a fucking old man you can rest when you're dead, and you can NEVER get too much football!" Hiruma cackled as Kurita fixed Hiruma with a worried stare.
"Hiruma, are you saying we're going to be going up against Mamori and Suzuna?"
Hiruma grinned.
"Listen up fucking fat ass..."
"Mamori-chan...just who do you plan on having on OUR side? Hiruma has the whole Deimon Devilbats in his corner!" Suzuna asked worriedly, although the challenge sparked her interest greatly.
Mamori smiled and stood up taking her phone out of her pocket and giving Suzuna a victory sign.
"Yes but we'll have some of the greatest and most well informed females on OUR side Suzuna!"
"We're not gonna just have our team for this little challenge, hell we're gonna broadcast this fucking thing to all the schools with any men proud enough to call themselves footballers!"
"We're hiring in professional female athletes!" Suzuna gasped lowering herself back down to her seat (which she had stood up from in excitement) when Mamori shook her head.
"No Suzuna, who knows everything to know about a WHOLE american football team AND the game itself that we've met?"
It took Suzuna a few seconds before her eeyes lit up and she began to giggle.
"Kurita, tell the fucking shrimps to deliver a message to the following schools...
"Suzuna contact the managers of Zokugaku,Oujou,Bando and Yuuhi High, I've got a phone call to make!" Mamori smiled watching as Suzuna began to laugh as she saluted and sped out the door, Mamori looked out the window of the Clubhouse and smiled.
At that exact same moment Hiruma closed his eyes and mouthed the same words that came out of Mamori's back in the clubhouse:
"Game"
"Fucking"
"ON"
(I think it's obvious what I was trying to do with the bold /italic right?)
BoldHiruma
ItalicMamori
Both at the same timeBoth said it.
Alright now that the bet has become clear and the player round up has been set LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!!!!
Thankyou to all who reviewed seriously I loved it and to all who have me on author alert thankyou as well! cries with happiness
This chapter was very long... I hope it's okay (Is it okay? please tell me) Anyhow I'm stuck at whetehr you would like to have just one big long chapter with mamori and Hiruma telling the other highschools what their doing or should I do a chapter each just dedicated to them talking to them one on one?
(i.e one chapter would be Hiruma and Mamori asking Rui and Megume to take part, Then Oujou etc)
Please state which would be more suited to your taste! Should I just feature them having a meeting?(Seperate of course).
Anyway love for all!
