Chapter 1
"You look tired, Tami-chan," the boy next to her grinned. "Maybe you should sleep on my shoulder."
Tamiko gave her neighbour an annoyed side glance.
"Maybe I should just punch you in the gut for every time you speak to me," she grumbled.
"Don't be like that," he wined. "We have known each other for years. You should be more familiar with me."
She clicked her tongue in annoyance when behind her, someone moved.
"Trashykawa, shut up before I knock you out of the bus," came a grumble from behind followed by a kick against her neighbours seat.
Trashykawa, or Oikawa, pouted and turned around in his seat. His brown curls bounced when he adjusted his weight to face behind him. Brown eyes squinted at the boy behind him who was glaring back at him.
"The same goes for you, Iwa-chan!" he complained.
Iwaizumi who was still glaring at him, readjusting himself to get a better position to sleep a little longer. The drive had started at 11 in the evening and they had been on the road all night. It was still a mystery as to why was awake so early. Excitement must be a strong drug against sleep. The brunet pouted even more.
"Geez, why is everyone so dull right now?"
"Because we have been on the road for hours and we don't want to hear and see you anymore." Tamiko grumbled.
This wasn't on everyone's tongue but most of the others in the bus silently agreed in their minds. Oikawa was a good looking guy, especially with the ladies but even now they all wanted a bit more rest. He sighed as he turned back around and sat down next to her, leaning against her shoulder.
"You love me really." he smirked.
"Whatever."
Tamiko gazed outside and watched the dark trees whizz past them in a blur. The sky was slowly turning blue from the rising sun and she yawned again. She felt the bus turn in a bend and then the forest opened up, revealing a big valley with a lake, bathed in the fiery warm light of the rising sun. Gripped by awe, she reached for that familiar hand.
"Tooru, look." she whispered.
At her touch, he followed her gaze and was also caught in awe. Even Iwaizumi behind them was stunned by the view. City kids like them had never basked in the beauty of untouched nature and seeing it for the first time amazed them. In the distance of the valley they could make out the grey snaky line of the road leading to an area with houses and big buildings. That was it. That was the camp. Next to her face, Oikawa chuckled.
"We are going to have a great time, right?" she heard Oikawa smile into her ear.
"If it turns out that you are an Omega, I will really have a great time laughing at you." Iwaizumi grinned.
"Iwa-chan, you are mean!" he grumbled. "I will be an Alpha and court Tami-chan. Right?"
He nudged her to get her confirmation. She just grimaced.
"Yeah, yeah," she sighed.
It was a promise they had made when they were little and now at the age of 18 they were called to camp with all the other 18 year olds of the country, to find out what they are. Many were still convinced that Tamiko was an Alpha, or at least a Beta, judging from her behaviour. She was just like her brother who was already showing strong Alpha traits at the age of 16. Some traits were obvious for each gender. And the camp revealed them. It was designed to teach to control the instincts that could overpower them, learn what would be expected of the and sometimes even find their mate. That was the main urge for all the growing boys here and it was partially disgusting what they whispered about. They already dreamed of the Alpha signs and pictured their Omega beneath them, naked and begging. Tamiko just ignored it as best as she could. The bus drove on down to the valley and soon passed through a gate. The facility was big, very big. Almost like a city, with shops, parks and homes. After all, this was the place where all 18 year olds of the country were gathered. The parking lot was also big with many busses. There was only one main parking area, and the hall next to it was as big as a stadium. The bus came to a final stop and the engine came to a rest. Then the friendly voice of the busdriver came through the speakers.
"Alright, we are here. Don't forget your belongings. I wish you all a pleasant stay."
"Thank you," everyone cheered and then the movement started.
Tamiko stayed seated until the bus was nearly empty. It was much easier that way to not be pulled into the rush of everyone. Iwaizumi and Oikawa stayed by her side. Since her best friend, Izumi, was on another bus she made them swear an oath to keep an eye on her, much to Tamiko's dismay. She didn't mind Iwaizumi, it as Oikawa who annoyed her. He kept going on about the promise they had made as children.
'I will be your Alpha and you will be my Omega.' Oikawa had declared when they were about 7 years old.
Back then, she had agreed to it. Oikawa had been the cute neighbour and she had been proud to get his attention while all the other girls swooned for him. But as the two of them grew up, Oikawa became so full of himself that it made her sick. He was still a friend to her but she could never see herself submitting to him, or anyone else for that matter. You are probably an Alpha, Iwaizumi had speculated and she slowly started to believe this. But they would all just have to wait and see. When they got off the bus, the clean air was the first thing they noticed. It was refreshing to breath in the scent of trees and grass, of freedom. The trio then mentally prepared to spend the next 6 weeks here. The flow of the crowd moved into the stadium and everyone tried to find a free seat. It was noisy in the big space of this building and Tamiko felt the electricity of excitement under her skin. Even Oikawa stayed quiet until the lights suddenly dimmed and one spotlight pointed at the entrance in the middle. A figure suddenly walked on the stage.
"Welcome, my young potential Alphas, Betas and Omegas." the man spoke into the microphone and by the tone of his voice, Tamiko was sure that he was an old man.
"My name is Ukai Ikkei and I run this camp. Along with other instructors I aim to help you through this phase in life that you have all anticipated for years. Your parents were here, your grandparents were here and they all were as excited as you are now."
He paused again, probably basking in the memories of his long life of seeing so many faces. Tamiko inched forward in her seat, as if she was trying to see more. Just how many generations has this man accompanied? Noisily he cleared his throat and continued.
"Now, there are a number of things that will happen today. First of all, you will all be given a key to your own room, or your den so to speak. Get yourself settled, get to know the camp and meet your neighbours. In about 4 hours you will all come back here where you will be tested to determine your gender. Following this, you will be put into groups or classes that you will attend for the next 6 weeks." he explained and murmurs started again.
"I guess we will be in different classes then." Iwaizumi noted.
"That sucks." Oikawa grumbled.
Tamiko giggled and the old man continued.
"This is the rough information you receive for now. Alright, now get settled and get back here in 4 hours."
The lights turned their brightness up and it got noisy again. Around them everyone chattered in excitement and stood, getting out of the hall. The trio waited again, waited until most of the people around them had gone. After all, they weren't in a rush. When only a few people around them were left they stood.
"Well then let's get going." Oikawa grinned and the two followed.
When they returned to the bus, a woman stood there, short black hair and with a box and a list.
"Is everyone here? Good. I will call out your name and hand you your keys. Don't, I repeat, don't lose them." she told them sternly.
While they waited they got their luggage and then enjoyed the summer sun until their names were called.
"Kageyama Tamiko," she woman called.
Tamiko stood and walked up to the woman who handed her a keyring with three keys.
"A key for the dorm, your room and your safe." she told her before she called the next name.
Tamiko examined the key while she walked back to the others. There was a small plastic plate with something written on it. A.3.14. That must be her room number. While she tried to imagine what her room would look like, Iwaizumi and Oikawa received their keys as well.
"I got A.2.02," Oikawa read.
"And I got A.2.04," Iwaizumi read. "Looks like we are almost neighbours."
"How exciting." Oikawa grinned.
"I'm gonna die," Iwaizumi groaned. "Tamiko, wanna swap?"
"No, thank you."
"Aw, come on, future Alpha. Don't you want to close to your future Omega?" Iwaizumi asked tauntingly.
Tamiko burst into laughter while Oikawa crossed his arms, pouting from the insult.
"You are all in dorm A. The second number is the floor and the last three room number," the woman explained. "Now, follow me."
She walked ahead while a small caravan followed her like ducklings behind their mother. On their way to the dorm the woman turned into a tour guide, pointing at different buildings and their uses. There were gyms, school buildings, a shopping mall and many other areas for free activities. There was even a dojo, which awoke Tamiko's interest. After a while they reached the A dorm, a big building where the entire ground floor served as a giant living room, with a kitchen and sofas, TV, a pool table and table football. It was very cozy the woman repeated about the ban of drinking alcohol, since the Japanese law states that alcohol was only to be consumed at the age of 21. There was no alcohol sold here, only for the teachers, which made it impossible anyway.
"You have 3 hours and 38 minutes of free time. Get settled in and explore a little. Best is that you all get to know everyone in your dorm. Enjoy."
And with that, the woman left. All campers then started searching for their room. Tamiko was the only one from their bus who was on the second floor. It wasn't hard to find her room and when she entered she dumped her luggage on the carpet. There was a bed, a big wardrobe, a futon, a desk with a chair and a bathroom with shower and bath. Her curtains were a pale blue and there was a small basket on the table of the futon with welcoming sweets. Tamiko firstly readied her bed and put all her clothes into the wardrobe before filling the bathroom with her accessories. Then she went downstairs to the living room. Iwaizumi and Oikawa were already waiting for her. They were standing by a wall where the map of the camp was displayed.
"There is a volleyball gym over there. We want to check it out," Iwaizumi told her.
He pointed at a rectangle next to the red building in which they stood. Since volleyball was their passion, it was no surprise that they wanted to go there as well. She followed them, listening to their chatter which was mainly done by Oikawa. The gym was easy to find with a few people already using it. The sound of squeaking trainers, balls hitting flesh and commands being shouted made them feel a little at home. There was one person standing outside, spiking the ball against the wall and doing it again with the following ricochet. Tamiko recognised that broad figure and short haircut straight away.
"Wakatoshi!" she shouted and waved.
