Title: Mamori and the Rumours [The Musical] Part 5
Rating: K+ (Mostly for Hiruma's swearing)
Warnings: The format for this is very different from the usual sort of writing, so do read the notes below.
Summary: Mamori's been acting strange lately, causing rumours to fly everywhere in Deimon High. It doesn't help that Hiruma's been hanging around her more often now. What is the mystery behind it? And what's with all the singing?! [HiruMamo]
Disclaimers: I do not own the characters and the lyrics used here (despite the modifications). They belong to their respective owners!
Notes: Well, didn't this part take forever to appear? Haha! Finally, it's up. The worst part? The next chapter is the last one. *gets shot from people who liked and waited for this fic to finish 3 years ago* Yeah, you guys waited 3 years for a conclusion that would only take two chapters. I had a few issues with this story but I'll work on it and ask what you guys think after you've read the last part which will be up tomorrow... *looks at her schedule tomorrow and cringes a little* hopefully. I just hope this part doesn't disappoint.
Song used here is "A Girl Worth Fighting For" from the Disney movie Mulan. Feel free to click here for a refresher. Enjoy!

As Sena and Suzuna walk back towards the field after class, they could not get rid of the guilt they felt after what they had heard.
"Whatever it is, we can’t tell anyone!" warns Suzuna.
"Not like anyone would believe us," says Sena. "Even I don’t believe it!"
"Don’t believe what?" they hear a voice say from behind.
"EEEEK!" Sena and Suzuna cry. They turn around to find Musashi looking at them curiously. "I-it’s nothing!" Sena and Suzuna say together.
"Oh, are we at the field already?" Sena says with a nervous laugh.
"Looks like it! You better get ready for practice before Yoi-nii gets here!" replies Suzuna, laughing nervously as well.
Sena dashes off as Suzuna runs away to get into her cheerleading suit as well. Musashi looks at them gravely and lets out a sigh.
The team is not in high spirits today though, as Hiruma is not around to force them to practice and no Mamori to look out for them. So Musashi makes them run laps in hopes to warm them up before Hiruma gets there, but they still lack energy.
Suzuna notices this and bites her lip. Musashi looks at her and says, "I’m not sure what’s bothering you, but as a cheerleader, I need you to keep the spirits of this team alive."
Suzuna nods at Musashi and rushes towards the Devil Bats team. "Come on, guys! Let’s keep moving! Let’s go, let’s go, DEVIL BATS!" she cries while raising her pom poms.
"Argh! How annoying!" cries Kuroki as he sped up just a bit.
"That’s it guys! Just keep moving ahead! YAAAAH~!" cheers Suzuna as the team looks at her sullenly.
[Devil Bats Team]
For a long time we've been training off to battle
[Togano]
In our thundering herd we feel a lot like cattle
[Devil Bats Team]
Like the pounding beat our aching feet aren't easy to ignore
[Suzuna] (gets an idea and sings excitedly)
Hey! Think of instead a girl worth fighting for~!
"Huh?" cries Juumonji.
"HUH??" cries Togano.
"HAAAAH??" cries Kuroki.
[Suzuna]
That's what I said:
A girl worth fighting for!
[Yukimitsu] (grins)
I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars
[Juumonji]
My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars
[Kurita]
I couldn't care less what she'll wear or what she looks like
It all depends on what she cooks like: Beef, pork, chicken ...
Mmm!
[Monta] (does his signature pose)
Bet the local girls think I am quite a charmer
[Taki]
And I'll bet the ladies love a man in armor
"You’re not wearing an armor," says Monta, giving Taki an ‘Are you stupid?’ look.
"Aha, but our equipment looks like so, no?" says Taki with a thumbs up.
[Devil Bats Team]
You can guess what we have missed the most
Since we began to play...
[Suzuna] (blows a whistle)
What do we want?
[Devil Bats Team] (excitedly and jogging faster)
A girl worth fighting for!
[Kuroki]
My girl will think I have no faults
That I'm a major find!
[Sena] (decides to join in)
How 'bout a girl who's got a brain
Who always speaks her mind?
[Kuroki & Togano] (looks at Sena and grimly shakes head)
Nah!
[Taki] (poses with one leg in the air)
My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her~!
[Monta] (grumbles)
He thinks he's such a lady-killer
[Taki]
I've a girl back home who's unlike any other
[Suzuna] (giggles whiles whispering to Sena)
Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother!
Taki hears what Suzuna says and cries, "IMPOSSIBLE~!"
[Devil Bats Team]
But when we come home in victory they'll line up at the door!
[Suzuna] (cheers)
What do we want?
[Devil Bats Team]
A girl worth fighting for!
[Ishimaru]
Wish that I had...
[Devil Bats Team]
A girl worth fighting for!
[Team] (whistles)
A girl worth fighting-
Suzuna gasps and cries, "MAMO-NEE!!"
The shock in Suzuna’s voice causes everyone to stop and look at Mamori, who stood at the corner of a field, tears streaming down her face.
"Mamori-nee-chan!
"Mamori-san!"
"Anezaki-san!"
Mamori hears them and sees them running towards her. She quickly rubs her eyes and puts on a smile. "Oh, I didn’t notice I was here already! I’m sorry for worrying you all! I’m fine, really!"
"No, you’re not," says Musashi as he approaches Mamori. "I think I speak on behalf of everyone that we have been worried about you lately and we would like to know if something is wrong. If you tell us, we might be able to help you."
"YEAH!!" the Devil Bats team cries. "Don’t be sad, we’re here for you!"
"Tell us what’s wrong!"
"You’re a part of the Devil Bats, we’re here for you too!"
Mamori is awed by their kindness as tears obviously fill her eyes again. "Thank you, everyone," she says. She looks behind her and sees Hiruma walking towards her as well. "Yes, I owe you guys an explanation.
"During the summer, I received a letter from the Student Committee announcing a plan to transfer me to another school."
"TRANSFER?!" cries the Devil Bats Team.
"But why?" asks Suzuna.
Mamori pauses for a moment and then explains. "They... believed that this football team is a bad influence on me and has the potential to stop me from moving up to higher things in life, as they find it too violent and too vicious for a girl like me. They also believed if people knew I was a part of the Devil Bats, Universities and Colleges would surely close their doors on my face and would not consider me, so they thought it best to transfer me."
"That’s not fair!" cries Suzuna.
"That’s not true at all!" cries Sena,
"ANGRY MAX!!" cries Monta as the rest of the team joins him in his protest.
Mamori smiles weakly. "I knew that it couldn't be true, but they were oddly adamant. I tried to convince them that American Football is not as violent or as vicious as they claimed, so I began to do more research in it. I think my love for the game grew too much that the Student Committee felt as though I was more possessed than I was truly just proclaiming that I love this game. Whatever I said to them, they twisted it as though I had gone crazy and should leave before I get worst."
Suzuna runs towards Mamori, crying into her arms. "Oh, Mamo-nee! I didn’t know! How could they do that? It’s so not fair!"
Mamori pats Suzuna and says, "It’s all right, don’t cry, Suzuna-chan."
"But you're part of the Disciplinary Committee," says Yukimitsu. "Didn't they consider that?"
Mamori shakes her head. "They said that as someone from the Disciplinary Committee, I should not be involved with people like the Devil Bats even more."
Juumonji, Togano and Kuroki growls in anger upon hearing that.
"So what happened?" asks Musashi. "You just met the Student Committee right?"
Mamori looks at Hiruma for a moment, then nods. "I heard that they would present the letters of transfer to the Principal, but they promised to reconsider for a few days. Then I saw that particular Student Council member walking by my class, obviously holding the letters of transfer. Hiruma-kun helped me from then on. It was tricky at first as it is Hiruma-kun, and I warned him not to use that book of his cause it would turn into more excuses as to why I should leave. But somehow we... managed to convince them just a few minutes ago... that I really do love American Football and that my future is brighter still by being with the Devil Bats."
"So... you’re staying?" asks Kurita.
This time, Mamori smiles at everyone genuinely. "Yes! I have no intention of leaving you all!"
The team cheers and crowds around Mamori, patting her back and telling her how glad they are that she’s staying. Mamori gladly replies and tells them that they need to get back to practice as now that she’s staying, they must win the Christmas Bowl to prove the Student Committee that the Devil Bats are not as bad as they claim. The team cheers and runs back to practice, eagerly and with more energy than before.
Musashi stays back with Hiruma as they watch Mamori getting on the bench and prepares notes, while Suzuna cheers the team on, obviously happy and more excited. "Having to control people without using that Devil's Handbook, huh? That must have been tough," says Musashi.
"Keh, she gave me a hard time with her constant what-nots," says Hiruma, finally speaking up.
"I see..." says Musashi. He looks at Hiruma, then back to Mamori. "I’m guessing it was all worth it?"
Hiruma walks away from Musashi and mutters quietly to himself, "She’s fucking worth it."

Extra Notes: Just in case you haven't noticed, Mamori was only telling half the truth and there's just a bit more to it than what she says. All of it gets solved in the last part. If there's anything that needs clarification, or is too confusing, do let me know and I'll work right on it. Thanks for reading!
