A Haikyuu! & Inuyasha Short Fanfic

Family of Crows:

"It's All Clear Now"

Written by k-tiraam © 2016

It was a fine day. Sun was shining and sky was almost clear of the clouds. There were few clouds from here and there. All in all, it was a nice day.

Keishin was at his family store, working. It was the weekend, so no school for the Karasuno volleyball team. He told the team to take a day off, to gather their strength back from their week-long practice session. Otherwise they won't be able to move a muscle.

The young coach was humming a song while filling up the store's shelves with various items. He didn't notice a shadow from the store window. Only when the door bells jingled as a signal for costumer's arrival, did he notice the owner of that shadow.

"Welcome," he began and then blinked his eyes, "Ah, Kagome-chan! Ossu! You came back?"

"Konnichiwa, Keishin-kun!" Kagome smiled. This time, she wore a skinny, black jeans and a pale blue blouse that had a string around her waist, to keep it in place. "Yeah. Last time we saw each other was at grandfather's place. We didn't get much to talk, after you shouted out and drove off elsewhere."

"Heh, sorry about that. I had an idea how to help out one of players and had to find him to tell him so." Keishin felt embarrassed about the way he took off, leaving his cousin behind. When he did return to pick up Hinata, Kagome had already gone back to Tokyo.

"Well, if it's about volleyball, then I forgive you. You guys are all about volleyball, as much as Souta is all about soccer." Kagome sighed dramatically, joking around.

"How is the shorty?" Keishin leaned against the store's counter, curious about how the things were going for his younger cousin.

"Souta is not so short anymore. He's almost as tall as me. Soon he will be past my height."

"Woah! Talk about a growth spurt! I remember him no taller than my waist!" Keishin exclaimed.

"It has been a long time since you saw him." Kagome pointed out, giggling at Keishin's dumbstruck face.

"That's true," Keishin chuckled.

"Heh. So, how have you been, Keishin? Other than being a coach for high school volleyball team." Kagome stood next to him, also leaning against the counter. "Any dates, perhaps?" She elbowed him in the ribs, smiling teasingly.

Keishin blushed for a sec. "Nah, too busy with two volleyball teams and with this store." Keishin yawned, to point out how tiring his days were nowadays.

"Two? I thought you were working at the high school team?"

"Yeah, well, I also part of my own volleyball team. We gather once and a while, play against other teams – for fun, mostly."

"I see." Kagome titled her head, understanding him.

"What about you? Got a boyfriend in Tokyo?" 'If she does, I will have few words with him, giving him some ground rules.' Keishin's eyebrows almost were knitted together at the thought of Kagome having a boyfriend.

Kagome bit her lips. "Well, I did have one boyfriend, but it didn't work out." 'Of course it couldn't, because he lives about 500 years in the past and I'm stuck here!'

"Oh?" Keishin stared, making her feel uncomfortable. "So, you're not dating anymore?"

"Umm…" Her body twitched slightly.

By pure luck, Kagome's phone rang from her bag. Both Keishin and Kagome jumped from the sound of it as it interrupted their talk. "Ah! Sorry, Keishin-kun. I better see, who is calling," Kagome dug out her phone, checking who was calling. Kagome's lips became a thin line and her eyes widened slightly. "Sorry again, but I need to answer this. I'll be right back!"

Before he could say a word, Kagome quickly left from the store to answer the call. "I wonder, what was that about?"

Keishin observed how Kagome reacted after seeing her phone's screen. As if she was nervous of something. Was it her ex? Naah, she just told him their relationship didn't work out. (If only he knew, what was the real reason for that.) He kept observing her. Now she was pouting. But once and a while, she kept glancing at him through the window, looking nervous. Again, why? How suspicious.

Once Kagome stepped out of the store, she answered the phone and spoke with a quiet voice.

"Hello? I thought I told you that I'll call you back once I'm in Tokyo." Kagome frowned, knowing too well that the person on the other line couldn't see it.

"Sorry Kagome-chan. But we kinda need for our manager in this situation."

"What situation?" Kagome groaned in defeat. She had just managed to take some time off from her busy schedule. So that she could see her cousin again. And now this?! What more was there to be taken care of?

"Well, firstly, taking care of the training schedules along with the coach. Then, gather enough stuff for our practices… or have you forgotten that we are going to a training camp? There will be other teams as well?"

Kagome groaned again, feeling tired all the sudden. "Aah, too much! Why can't you take care of it? It's also your responsibility!"

"Heh. You knew what was coming, when you signed up as our manager." The voice from the other side of line chuckled. "There's also another reason, why you're needed here."

"Oh? What is this other reason then?" Kagome pouted, her feet tapping against the ground impatiently. She took a peek at the store. Hopefully Keishin didn't become too suspicious about the way she left him. Hopefully not. Knowing him, you couldn't be sure about it. Keishin might not be educationally smart, but he was street-wise smart. Or something like that.

After a long pause of silence, the person on a phone finally answered to her. "I miss you."

Kagome blinked twice, her face feeling a bit warm – and it was not from the sun. "Oh." She smiled.

The person coughed. "So, when will you be back?"

Kagome closed her eyes, smiling again. "I will be back tomorrow. I plan to stay at my cousin's place for the night and then travel back to Tokyo." Kagome leaned against the vending machine, looking upwards.

"Eh~? Why not sooner?"

"Because, I want to spend some time with my cousin. My last visit here was too short for my liking." Kagome tiredly explained.

"Okay, I get it. I will come to the station tomorrow and greet you there."

"You don't have to." Kagome told him.

"What kind of a boyfriend am I, if I'm not there to greet my girlfriend?" She could almost see his face before her, smirking.

"Okay, okay. I will see you tomorrow then. I will send a message when the train arrives to Tokyo."

"You better."

"I will, Tetsurou-kun!" Kagome huffed at the phone.

"Hoo~? Tetsurou-kun, is it?" Keishin's voice was heard next to her. Kagome jumped in shock and turned to look at her cousin. He was scowling at her, now knowing who the person on the phone was.

"Kagome-chan?"

"Er, I need to go now. I will send you a message tomorrow. Bye~!" Kagome's startled look didn't vanish from her face even after she ended the call. Kuroo didn't get a chance to say anything back. Soon enough her phone buzzed, signalling for arrival of a message. But she would check it out later. Right now, she had a pissed-off cousin to calm down. How couldn't she hear the door bells' chime? She must have been so focused with the phone to completely ignoring the sounds of the bells.

"Hmm~? Kagome-chan? I just remembered it; you went to the Nekoma's high school, right?" Keishin wasn't happy at all.

Kagome gulped. "Y-yes?"

Keishin kept scowling at her, making her more nervous. "Thought so. You did mention this before, right?"

"Well, yeah. Well, maybe in haste," Kagome scratched her head. "Perhaps you didn't pay much attention when I said that, if you just began to remember it."

"Touché." Keishin agreed. She might have mentioned it, but he might have ignored it. "Anyway, you're Nekoma's manager? Volleyball team's manager?"

Again, she could feel the pressure her cousin was giving. "Y-Yes?"

"Why haven't I seen you during the Karasuno and Nekoma's practice games?" Keishin frowned at her. Seriously? Why hadn't he seen her there?!

Kagome felt her throat dry up. "Most of the time, I was elsewhere during the practices, taking care of the things for the team." 'And hiding from Keishin-kun, but he doesn't need to know that!'

"Okay, I understand." Keishin crossed his arms. A nerve-breaking silence fell between them; only the crows' croaks were heard above them. Suddenly, as if a string of yarn snapped between them; "You're dating with the captain of the Nekoma volleyball team?!" He was feeling pissed about the fact that she was seeing that smug-looking son-of-gun for a captain!

"Aah! This is why I didn't mention about him! I knew you would become like this because of it!" Kagome exclaimed!

"Of all the boys from that team, why him?!" Keishin stuck his face closely to hers.

"Oh, shut up! I don't need to explain the reason!" Kagome talked back at him, equally annoyed.

"Yes you do! He looks suspicious! I bet he's a player!"

"Of course, he is the captain of the team!"

"Oh, ha HAH! I didn't mean like that and you know it!" Keishin face was turning reddish from the shouting. "Doesn't gramps know about this?"

"Hmph! Yeah, he does! He knows what high school I go to and he's okay with it! As for dating, yeah, he knows that too!" Kagome glared at him.

"Aah? I'm the last one to know about this?"

"Er, no. Your parents and grandpa Higurashi doesn't know either," Kagome uneasily looked elsewhere. "Only mom, Souta, grandfather Ukai and now you know." 'Grandpa would try to stick some of his talismans on Tetsurou-kun…'

"Ah." Keishin began to calm down. So, his baby cousin was dating? When did the time fly by so fast? It felt like a yesterday, she was a little girl, trying to play volleyball at gramps' place – and failed miserably. "Still, this doesn't mean that I won't talk with that smug-looking bastard. Giving him some rules about what's okay and what's not okay! I don't want my baby cousin get pregnant before marriage!"

"Keishin-kun!" Kagome blushed heavily; she could feel her ears turn hot! This was the reason, why she didn't want to say a word about dating a guy! Especially with Tetsurou-kun, the captain of Nekoma's volleyball team!

Relatives like Keishin are so embarrassing!

End of story.

First draft: January the 23rd, 2016

Author's note: Woaaah…. another short fic, in a short time, nonetheless. I do have a list for other short fics, where I have written the key words/short descriptions for the next ones. It seems to help me a lot. :) I might update once or twice a week, it really depends on the mood. (No promising, though.)

Anyway, I'm glad that you have enjoyed reading these fics so far. Some of you have placed the collection on alerts, favourites and also got reviews. Thank you! ^_^ See yah later! Perhaps with other characters than just from Haikyuu! Keep your eyes on those notifications!
