This was actually made on a whim, because lately I've been addicted to Haikyuu! The pairings so far are gonna be Tsukiyama and Kagehina. I'll tell you guys if I add more. Hope you like it!

Chapter One: Unneeded and Unwanted

Yamaguchi looked out at the grey sky of which seemed to reflect his current mood perfectly. Yet another game had gone by without any good plays on his part. And Tsukishima had yet again ignored his constant attempts to converse. It was almost as though he wasn't needed by anyone. Then again, when has he ever been needed. He was always average in every aspect, sports, height, looks, grades. He wasn't like Tsukki, who was good at anything he tried for. Tsukki, who could get any girl he wanted. Tsukki, who was amazingly smart. Tsukki, who didn't seem to care if he was there or not.

That afternoon, Yamaguchi couldn't focus at practice one bit. Not that anyone noticed, seeing as he was that unneeded. Nobody cared about how good his serves had gotten, or how hard he tried. All that mattered was the point. All that mattered was that we won. All that they needed was good players. Hinata, Kageyama, Sugawara-san, Daichi-san, Noya, Tanaka, and Tsukishima. Yamaguchi could never be like them. No matter how hard he tried, he'd never be like that. "Oi, Yamaguchi, watch ou-"

The volleyball hit him full force, right in the face. Blurred outlines of people came into his vision. He blinked rapidly, trying to get the back dots to go away. Slowly, they faded. Yamaguchi sat up straight and looked around. Hinata asked if he was okay. "Of course. It didn't hurt that much." Faking a smile was easy. Pretending not to feel was simple.

"Oh, thank goodness."

Practice started up again. Coach Ukai started to throw spikes, having us try and receive them. Doesn't matter, though. It's not as though he was gonna be on the court to catch them. Noya will get them. Yamaguchi half-heartedly went for them, not paying too much attention to his movements. Yells of "Try harder"'s followed this. Noya went after him, effortlessly saving each. He looked over at where Tsukki was practicing blocks, and where Hinata was spiking balls. Sighing, he started to pick up his stuff.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes."

Yamaguchi handed over the club resignation form. "Sir, I'm sorry, but I want to focus of my grades."

"I understand. I hope you rethink about being in the Volleyball Club." Yeah, right. It wasn't as though he contributed once.

"Thank you for advising me so far."

"Hey, where's Yamguchi."

Tsukishima, questioning looks on their faces. "How should I know. I haven't talked to him for a few days."

His statement surprised nearly everyone. Yamaguchi constantly hung out with Tsukishima. You'd rarely ever see one without the other. Yet today one wasn't at practice today. "Uh... I think I need to tell you guys something." Itestu said. Everyone turned to face him. "Yamaguchi...quit the team about a week ago. I asked if he was sure, but he said he wanted to focus on his studies." At this point, Coach Ukai and Kiyoko had come over.

"H-he quit?! He didn't say anything about this." Strangely, Tsukishima was the most upset about his news.

"He quit?! But his serves were getting better and better!"

"Well, I mean, it's not like he was actually on the court a lot. And this way, we first years have a better chance of getting on court, rather than some mediocre player." Heads turned to look at the new first year, Sawada, the one who had said it. And with a deadly air around him, Tsukishima slowly made his way towards the poor first year.

"Just because Yamaguchi isn't a regular, doesn't mean he isn't good. You got me?" He towered over him by a good 20 inches. Sawada start to shake in fear.

"I-I don't have to listen to you!" He said while running away.

[Yamaguchi's POV]

I stared down at the small knife in my hand, the blade reflecting the bathroom light. I was going to do this. It's not like anyone will miss me. My parents would probably be sad, but it's not like anything would change. Eventually, they would go back to normal. And Tsukki, he would be rid of my constant nuisance to him. I'd be doing more good than harm, really. "Sorry, Tsukki." I whisper as the knife cuts deep into my wrist. Blood started to pool, eventually dropping onto the bathroom floor. Pain sting my wrists, but I cut deeper, and then black engulfed me.

I woke to ridiculously bright lights right in my eye. Blinking vigorously, I tried to sit up. Pain stabbed at my wrists, and I immediately collapsed back onto the bed. Staring up at the white light again, I thought to myself 'So I'm still here.' It wasn't a question. It wasn't as though I wasn't expecting to survive, because I did expect to live. It was a half-hearted decision on my part, really it was only a mere attempt of escape. There was obviously going to be more, although…

"Oh! You're awake!" A chipper voice brought me out of my deep inner thoughts, and I looked at the owner.

A man stood in the doorway, having to stoop low in order to fit. He was wearing a blue nurse uniform, and held a clipboard and pen in hand. He smiled sweetly at me, as if to say 'don't worry, I won't hurt you' ."I'll go get the doc."

No more than five minutes had passed before a plain looking woman came bustling through the door, while the male nurse hurried to shut the door. Her face wasn't what one would call beautiful, but she had this air around her that just made you feel so at peace with yourself. Her heart shaped face was framed with brown hair which was held back in a bun. She was skinny, but not stick thin. Her face was soft and caring, like a mother's. "I see you're awake. That's great! I shall inform your family immediately. Y'know, for the first few days, this tall man would rarely leave your side! You must have a really good friend." Her smile was almost as big as Hinata's. That's where it hit me.

"Um, miss, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what's your name?"

"Oh dear, I forgot to say, didn't I! My name's Hinata Nashi, but you can call me doc if you want." She laughed happily. "You might know my son, Hinata Shouyo? He goes to your school."

"Uh, actually, I do. We're on the same volleyball team."

"That's magnificent! Oh my, I've gotten off track! I'll go call your parents right now." Moving out of the room, the male nurse came forward again.

"I'm gonna do some tests on you, ok? I just need to test your blood pressure and heartbeat."
