Hey it's AnimeNerd here this is my first attempt at a Haikyuu! fanfic so please enjoy.
It's my first day of high school and all I going to remember is the pain. Since I was 5 all I can remember is the pain with brief respites where I finally got relief from the pain, you see when I was 5 I was in a car accident with my older brother and Dad where a car hit the side of our car where I was sitting. My dad and brother got out mostly unharmed but I had to have my leg amputated because my lower leg was crushed by the force of the door hitting it. I spent a year using crutches before I was able to start learning to walk again and all I really remember from that time is the pain, the only thing that got me through that time was my brother, we have always been close but ever since the accident we have only become closer. My brother is pretty famous in high school sports, you see his a volleyball player and when he was in high school he earned the nickname the 'Little Giant' but to me, his name is Hiiro (pronounced Hero), he inspired me to keep going and now here I am. After years of pain and rehabilitation, learning to walk again, I am finally starting at Karasuno high school and I am determined to join the volleyball team just like Hiiro. I used to watch all of his games (unless of course, I was in rehab).
"Shoyo, please get up or you're going to be late" my mum yelled from the bottom of the stairs. As I was preparing for school I made myself a promise that I would hide the fact I was legless from the team because I knew that if they found out I would not be welcome on the team. As I was finishing up my Delightful breakfast, sometimes having a chef for a mom was awesome, my Mum re-entered the room holding my younger sister Natsu and closely followed by Hiiro. It was obvious to me that mum had not only struggled to get Natsu awake but also dressed as she was still wearing her night clothes. This scenario was a familiar one as Natsu and Hiiro are both heavy sleepers. "Good morning orange top, how's the leg?" Hiiro asks trying to keep a serious look on his face but smiling at his own little joke. You see unlike Natsu and myself Hiiro takes after our mum and has black hair. "You know tiny shadow my leg feels great." this has been our daily routine for years, at first I was really depressed because I thought I would never get to play volleyball again, but now I am excited to help Karasuno regain its fame.
As I ride my bike to Karasuno I imagine what it is going to be like on a real team. I can feel my heart race with excitement and nerves. it takes me a while but I finally arrive at Karasuno, a steady stream of students walking in some with friends others alone. I had no friends that had followed me to this school so I was all alone, but I wasn't lonely because I knew I would soon make friends. 20 minutes later everyone was seated in the auditorium listening to the Principle's speech about fresh starts and new beginnings. The girl next to me kept muttering to herself and so I didn't really understand his speech but it was over after what seemed like an eternity. Despite what many people will tell you from my old school I am actually very smart so it was no surprise that I was in class 1-4 because that class was for those preparing for collage. Most of the people around me think I am only knowledgeable about volleyball but I don't just know volleyball. I should probably introduce myself as I have yet to. My name is Shoyo Hinata and as you have probably noticed this is my first year at high school and I all I want is to make friends and play volleyball. As the day goes on we are introduced to each sensei and do exams to discover where each student is at. These tests always seem to go on, they seem to repeat every year, for me they are boring like a song you have heard a million times, a story you have heard told in a million ways. Sometimes I wish they didn't happen because the teachers can see what we know on our files they never give us anything different. If it seems like I'm going on it's because the pain in my stump has flared up and I can't think, all I can focus on is the pain, I just have to wait until lunch and then I can go find my cousin he should have my medicine, I hope he remembered them. The day has gone so slow but it was finally lunch and so I practically ran to the third years floor so that I could have my medication. "Koshi! Wait up a second!" I yelled when I spotted him leaving his classroom with a friend who turned to give me a confused look. "Oh Shoyo it's good to see you" Koshi said stopping "are you here for your medication?"
"Yeah I'm in a little pain and couldn't concentrate on my tests." I answered knowing that he was worried that I was suffering Koshi has always been like a big brother to me as he spent a lot of time with myself and Hiiro while I was in rehab. He was there with my other cousin Oikawa Tooru but he attends a different high school, he attends Aoba Josai. "Are you okay? do you need to go home? I can call Aunty or Hiiro." Koshi said fretting when I remember that his friend was still there and he looked confused. He was staring at Koshi who had at some point started hugging me "Suga who is this?" he asked confusion lacing his voice. "Oh sorry Daichi this is my cousin Hinata Shoyo, Sho this is the volleyball captain Sawamura Daichi" Koshi replied while going through his bag obviously distracted by his mission to find the pain relief. When he had found the tablets he released a tune of triumph handing me a small tray of panadol. "Hello it's nice to meet you, I look forward to joining the team." I announced letting Daichi know that I was planning on joining the volleyball team. "Want to join us for lunch?" Koshi asked worry dotting his expression telling me that he wanted me to say yes and so I agreed not really eating anything as I waited for the pain to calm down knowing that I would just feel ill if I was to eat anything now. But lunch was over all too soon as I had to return to class for more first day exams glad that they would be finished at the end of the day and hopefully there would be no need for a repeat exam. I was confident that I would not have to repeat because I studied all the time when I was in rehab and hospital with Koshi and Tooru.
Once the final exam was over I walked to the teachers office for a short chat with the school's nurse and guidance Councillor teams to talk about any changes that needed to be made to my class schedule for physio therapy and my continued rehab sessions. As well as the occasional doctors appointments. This meeting went on for about 20 minutes before I was allowed to leave. Before heading to the check out the gym I went to the bathroom to apply numbing gel to my stumps and take my medicine. On my way to the gym I check my phone and see a text from Tooru, 'Good luck for your first day of high school. Hope to verse you in volleyball soon Short Stuff'
Once I was out of the building I ran towards the allocated gym hearing balls bang against the gyms floor. Excitement filled me from head to toe, the door to the gym was wide open but I could not see anyone inside. the sounds told me that there was a person inside. Curious to see who was in the gym I jumped the last meter landing perfectly just inside the door. But when I looked up I was shocked because I saw someone I didn't expect.
