Chapter 1

Two weeks after the away match...

"This is completely unacceptable!" Hiashi screamed as he slammed the door behind him.

"What is 'this' exactly, Hiashi?" asked the big, white-haired man, raising his eyes from his laptop computer. Clearly he was annoyed by the interruption. He was in the middle of a very important mission, which is finishing his latest best-seller novel, Icha-Icha Sudden Death.

Hiashi pointed his finger at his Konoha FC co-owner, Jiraiya. "The boys, Jiraiya!" shouted Hiashi. "They played like crap!"

"Hey, don't talk about me boys like that!" Jiraiya calmly replied.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't badmouth them! This is my team too, damn it! We own this club together. I have every right to curse them as much as you do!" Hiashi's face was red as a lobster.

"The lads are not even close for being called crap," Jiraiya said. "They're good players, every single one of them. They finished second, securing our place in the Champions League." He closed his laptop's monitor and stared directly into Hiashi's eyes.

"Second is still second!" Hiashi raised his fist at Jiraiya. "They don't have silverware for second places. Besides, a winning team should never be satisfied being on second place, no matter what good comes with it. And Konoha used to be a winning team!"

"Who said anything about being satisfied?" Jiraiya spoke as he raised himself from his seat. "I'm just saying that things could be worse than what we have now. And if silverware is the only thing that you care about, we did win the League Cup. I'm sure it's there somewhere in the trophy room…"

"Bollocks!" screamed Hiashi. "League Cup is merely a consolation prize. I want the real deal. The premiership! And I want that Nara prick sacked!" He slammed his right fist on Jiraiya's desk and cracked it.

"Hold it right there!" Jiraiya looked surprised but with one eye on his laptop. "What's this about Shikamaru? Do you realize what you just say? We have, in our grasp, the most brilliant manager ever! The youngest manager in the history who ever won the premiership! And now you want to sack him? Are you sure you didn't hit your head somewhere?" Jiraiya started to raise his voice to Hiashi, even though he was glad that his laptop was not harmed. Football is life, but Icha-Icha Sudden Death is the essence of life.

"He did win the premiership for us in his first season here and the FA cup in his second, I give you that. Then what? After we lost Uchiha to Oto, he gave us nothing."

"Nothing? Let's see… four years in charge… and he gave us… one premiership, one FA cup, one League Cup, and never failed to get us the ticket to the Champion League. Open your history book, mate! Not even the oldest, most mature manager could've achieved that. You should be grateful we got him on our side."

"One more season! If he failed, then he's out! Or… Konoha FC will loose financial support from the Hyuuga Family forever."

After dropping the ultimatum, Hiashi left Jiraiya's office, chin raised highly in the air.

"Old money prick!" yelled Jiraiya to the closed door. He no longer had any mood to write, let alone writing smut. Now all he could think about was the ultimatum that old snob just threw at his face.

The Konoha FC owner replayed the conversation he just had with his partner in his mind and found it very strange. Konoha FC was indeed a winning team - they had sixteen Premiership title, eleven FA Cups, two League Cups, and two European Cups as proof - but that didn't mean they'd always win the Premiership every year. There were moments when they didn't even get anything, not even a place in the Champion League. But Hiashi never tried to fire the manager in charge at those moments, even though - when compared to what Shikamaru had accomplished so far - that person's performance was very bad.

Then Jiraiya remembered the name that Hiashi used to refer to the young manager. 'Nara prick.' He was sure that Hiashi's tone held more venom when he said 'Nara' than when the man said 'prick'. Hmm… How peculiar.

Jiraiya grabbed his cell phone and dialed Shikamaru's number.

"Hello?"

"Shikamaru! Where are you?"

"My office… which is next to yours. What's up?"

"Just come to my office. We need to talk!"

"I figure out that much. I'm already in front of your office."

"Then what are you waiting for? A sodding invitation? Come in!"

The pony tail chap, walked in to Jiraiya's office with his laid back manner. Quietly he took a seat in front of his boss who was at that time looked very impatient.

"What's the problem between you and Hiashi Hyuuga?" asked Jiraiya straight to the point.

Shikamaru raised an eyebrow before returning Jiraiya's question with one of his own, "Problem?"

"Awww, don't act stupid, because you can't, ok? So, why don't you just let it out, son!" mocked the old man.

There were only two possibilities regarding this matter, but if somebody going to make a bet out of it, Shikamaru knew exactly where to put his money on. He wanted to be sure though, hence he asked calmly, "Can I at least know the reason that makes you think I have a problem with Sir Hyuuga?"

"I'll give you three! He called you Nara prick, he wanted me to sack you, and then he gave me an ultimatum. I quote: 'One more season! If he failed then he's out! Or… Konoha FC will loose financial support from the Hyuuga Family forever.'"

Shikamaru was convinced even more, but he was just not ready to give in. Instead of blurting out the truth, he responded, "I think he just disappointed of the result of our campaign last season, just like everyone else in Konoha."

"Right…," retorted Jiraiya cynically before added on, "Now, don't you make me start calling you Nara prick too! This is beyond football… much deeper… It's personal."

Shikamaru snorted. He knew that he can not hide this forever, therefore he decided to tell Jiraiya the truth.

"I'm dating one of his kids."

"It really is personal!" said the white haired guy, suddenly looked very satisfied with himself, knowing that his presumption had proven right. He probed even more, "Which one? Hinata or Hanabi? Hey, I thought Hinata is dating Na…"

"Neji," cut Shikamaru.

The Konoha FC owner shot him disbelief look and looked stupefy for a moment before managed to speak again, "You Nara prick! You just have to date the heir, aren't you? No wonder he so pissed!"

Jiraiya keep pressed on, "How long you two had been dating?"

"Two months."

"The lads know?"

"Yes."

"They're fine with it?"

"Let's just say that after they caught Raidou and Genma in the act at the shower, the boys could handle everything!"

"Hmmm…" Jiraiya held his chin with his right hand and without realizing it let out a smirk. A small one, but indeed very suspicious.

Nothing escaped Shikamaru's eyes though. The young manager stated, "Don't you even think about it! Don't you dare put my boys in one of your books!"

"What are you saying?" Jiraiya said innocently. Well, he tried anyway.

"Awww, don't act innocent, because you can't, ok?" jeered Shikamaru, dark eyes stared deeply into the old man's.

"Fine."

"I mean it, Jiraiya."

"Fine," promised the legendary adult novel writer. "Talk about the boys, how are they anyway?"

"They're fine. I gave them 3 weeks off. They'll return in 2 week and we'll start training right away."

"How about Genma's hamstring?"

"Nothing to worry about. According to Tsunade, his injury is not as bad as we thought."

"And… Naruto?"

"I just talked to him on the phone before you called me. He still wants to drown himself. But I'm sure he'll get over it. We all have our down moment."

Jiraiya nodded his head, clearly satisfied. "Very well then, Shikamaru. Let's be ready for the new campaign!"

Shikamaru just smiled a bit before rising from his chair and walked toward the door.

"I'll choose you, you know."

Shikamaru stopped on his track, turned his body slightly and again raised his eyebrows.

"If Hiashi true to his word and we failed again this season, I'd pick you."

Shikamaru nodded his head and then closed the door behind him.
