A Haikyuu & Inuyasha Short Fanfic

"Family of Crows"

Written by k-tiraam © 2016

At first, Hinata had no idea where coach Ukai was taking him. As the car drove on, all he could see was countryside and rice fields. Just as he was about to ask more details of the destination, Keishin turned the wheel and the car moved to the front yard of an old house.

"We are here," Keishin said, shutting off the engine.

"Where are we, coach?" Hinata tilted his head a bit, looking at his surroundings.

"Ah, you will see soon enough," Keishin scratched the back of his head and at the same time he felt a bit annoyed. As if he didn't want to be at this place, but he didn't have much of a choice. Keishin sighed. He needed more tips about coaching the Karasuno volleyball team, especially with Hinata and Kageyama. Only the old man could help him on that, if he agreed to help him.

"One more time, kids!" A voice shouted out. Soon after that they heard the multiplied replies of "yes".

They found their way to the backyard, watching kids practicing volleyball with an old man. Then it hit to Hinata; this was Karasuno's legendary coach! Their coach Ukai's grandfather! The more the orange-haired boy thought about it, the more excited he felt! He could barely stay put from the thought! He got to meet the legendary coach!

"Oi, gramps!"

"Huh? Oh, it's you," the older Ukai said, looking equally annoyed. "What do yah want?"

"I got one of Karasuno's volleyball players with me, who needs some tips with the spikes, so…"

Older man frowned even more at his grandson. "Oh? Can't you help him out at all, weakling?"

Keishin glared at him, feeling slightly angry. "Well, I thought that you, being master coach, could have some thoughts for his training…"

Just that moment, front door opened and closed quickly. A young woman's voice was heard from the house. "I'm back from the store, grandfather!" Light footsteps echoed through the house. "Huh? Grandfather, where are you? You better not overwork yourself again!"

None of the Ukai men took a notice of the woman's voice.

"Tch, you coming here only means that," older man took a hold of Keishin, throwing him across the field, "you are a weakling!"

Keishin shouted in fright, while Hinata panicked from the sight! "Coach!"

As Keishin fell down to the ground, a young woman appeared to the backyard's doorway. Her eyes became huge because of the sight of seeing Keishin fallen to the ground. "Ah! Keishin-kun?!"

Despite feeling the pain all over his body, Keishin managed to look up. "K-Kagome-chan? W-what are you doing here?"

"I should ask you that," Kagome turned to look at the older man, feeling annoyed of the situation. "Grandfather! Why do you keep treating Keishin-kun this way?"

"Ah, Kagome. Welcome back. As for your question, it's because he's an idiot, that's why." The senior stated out, as if it was obvious answer.

"D-damn you, old man…" Keishin growled.

Hinata, once again, was clueless of what just happened. First, coach Ukai (meaning the younger one) got thrown away by the senior Ukai. Then, a beautiful young woman made her appearance, calling the senior Ukai as her 'grandfather'. Hinata became starry-eyed from the sight of her. She was beautiful, if not more some than their manager, Shimizu-senpai. She was wearing a light pink dress that had flower prints on it and a black button-up sweater. Her hair was raven black and her eyes were… grayish blue? Hinata had never seen such eye colors before. Suddenly, Hinata had a déjà-vu feeling, as if he had met her before. How could that be? This was his first time seeing her. Right?

"Let me help you up, Keishin-kun."

"No need, Kagome. I can manage. Damn that old man… still plays dirty for his age."

Again, Kagome turned to scold at older man. "This reminds me, grandfather. You really shouldn't overwork yourself! Remember what the doctor told you!"

"I'm fine, no worries," Ukai senior crossed his arms over his chest.

"Umm, excuse me," Hinata tried to gain their attentions.

"Hm? What do you want, shrimpy?"

"Grandfather!"

"My name is Shouyou Hinata! Please, help me with the volleyball!" The poor first-year high schooler panicked as the Ukai senior spoke to him. He was ready to fight, if the older man decided to throw him away like he did with coach Ukai.

"No worries, I only attack weaklings like my good-for-nothing grandson."

"Grandfather!" Kagome scolded at him.

"Piss off, old man!"

Kagome stomped her way to their grandfather. "Stop bullying Keishin-kun! He has done nothing to you and you're also scaring our guest here!"

"Tch."

Kagome turned her attention to shivering Hinata. "I'm so sorry that you had to see this. Grandfather Ukai can be handful whenever Keishin-kun is at present." She heard the said grandfather 'hmph-ed' at her. "My name is Kagome Higurashi. As you might have realized now, I'm also part of this crazy family."

"Ooh, I see. Umm, but, you don't have the same last name as coach Ukai," Hinata pointed out while looking from the younger coach to the young woman.

"Keishin-kun's father and my mother are brother and sister, making us cousins. My mother married a Higurashi," Kagome giggled.

"Which was a mistake, I tell yah," her grandfather growled softly, which only caused being glared by Kagome.

"Well, now that family introduction is over, what about helping out Hinata here with his spike's timings?" Keishin requested as he sat on the ground.

Later on, Hinata managed to make impression on Ukai senior and soon the high school student found himself being trained by the legendary coach. Keishin observed the process, while Kagome brought some cool water for them.

"Keishin-kun," Kagome served glass of water to him, "you want some?"

"Ah, thanks Kagome-chan," Keishin accepted the glass from her. "By the way, what're you doing here? I thought you had a school day at Tokyo?"

"Well, I managed to get some day offs to see grandfather Ukai." Kagome stared at their grandfather from the corners of her eyes. "With mother's permission, of course."

"You're actually skipping the classes, aren't you?"

"Of course not, you jerk!"

"Okay, okay. Just teasing." Keishin laughed. "By the way, which high school you were in? I keep forgetting it."

For some reason Kagome's face turned slightly pale, her eyes widening. "A-ah? Well, I…"

"At least she studies hard, unlike some weaklings I know." Ukai senior said as he took a glass of water from the platter. "That's why she's my favorite grandchild (and Souta too, even though he plays soccer)." Ukai senior hugged his granddaughter closely by her shoulders.

Keishin growled at the older man again, while Kagome sighed. "Grandfather, please, stop it."

"Old man! You like her because she looks like her mother when she was this young!"

"That too."

"Argh!"

"Grandfather, seriously, stop teasing Keishin-kun!"

Hinata stared at the scene before him. The Ukai family sure was a lively bunch. Especially the Ukai men. Hinata felt sorry for Kagome-san as she tried to be the peacemaker between the two men. Now that Hinata thought about it, the more he looked at Kagome, the more he felt like that he had met her somewhere. He just couldn't remember where.

Hinata crossed his arms, pondering and trying to remember. Minutes flew by and Hinata was about to give up until it came to him! He had met her before! At Tokyo, during his practice game with the Nekoma team!

The high school student kept staring at Kagome after his realization, and Kagome noticed this. She made a shushing gesture for him to keep it as secret. For now.

End of this story? Might be continued…

Author's note: Hello! Long time no see. Really long time. I had my ups and downs, and writer's blocks, so I haven't been able to find my muse for my previous, unfinished fictions. However, I thought to try writing really short fics instead. I got inspired by MizukixTsukiyomi's Kagome interactions – a huge collection of short crossover stories at her Tumblr. ^_^ I do recommend reading them.

I got also bitten by various sport-themed animes/mangas, so I just had to write this Haikyuu!/Inuyasha crossover down. (Me, liking sports? What have happened to me?!)

Ah, before I forget, I would like to thank all you readers, who're following and favoriting my old fanfics. Who have also placed me into your favorite authors' lists. Really, thank you! It is awesome to know that there are readers who likes my old written fanfics. ;_;
