On the ride there Tsukishima and Yamaguchi sat together. Yamaguchi was holding his phone as he talked with Tsukishima while they waited for the bus to finally arrive there. He was nervous and excited for the text that would come soon, hopefully.

"Yamaguchi."

"Ah! Yes, Tsukki?" Yamaguchi was brought back to reality as Tsukishima called out his name.

Tsukishima sighed, "Were you paying attention at all?"

"Sorry, Tsukki," Yamaguchi apologized, "my head was somewhere else."

Tsukishima raised an eyebrow, it wasn't like Yamaguchi to be such an airhead when they were talking, sure dense sometimes but not around him. Tsukishima then saw the phone in Yamaguchi's hands and frowned, "Are you thinking about him?"

"Nope, not thinking about Tetsurou at all." Yamaguchi became flustered and panicked. He quickly came up with a different reason for his distraction, "Nope, I'm just wondering how Hinata and Kageyama will get to Tokyo."

Tsukishima gritted his teeth when that name was mentioned. For Yamaguchi's sake he hoped that Tetsurou wasn't that annoying captain from Nekoma. He only knew his first name because he overheard someone introduce him. He wasn't sure how it was spelt though, so there was the possibility it wasn't him.

"I'm taking a nap," Tsukishima said. It was still morning and normally he would still be asleep at this time during the break. He put his glasses in their case then turned away from Yamaguchi and fell asleep.

Yamaguchi, with nothing else to do, also slept.

When the bus stopped, the two woke up, they had arrived in Tokyo. Tsukishima got up right away and walked down the bus aisle.

"Wait up, Tsukki!" Yamaguchi followed Tsukishima off the bus.

They met up with Kuroo and Kai, captain and vice-captain of Nekoma, in front of the gym where the training camp would take place.

"OOOH! That's…Could that be… Tokyo Skytree?!" Tanaka yelled when he saw a steel tower.

"No, that's just a normal steel tower," Kai said as Kuroo laughed.

Kuroo then approached the captain of Karasuno, "Hey, by the way, aren't you missing some people?"

As Daichi explained Tsukishima yawned and Yamaguchi rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as they both were pushed from behind by Nishinoya.

Karasuno entered the gym. There were many volleyball players and the air was tense as everyone was warming up.

"Once everyone's warmed up, we'll focus on rotating around so each team plays each other," Kuroo explained to Daichi.

"Got it."

Not soon after they all started playing a practice game. Karasuno lost around 8 games before Kageyama and Hinata arrived with Tanaka's big sister, Saeko.

"Ooh, they're still at it. Looks like we made it in time," Saeko said, "nicely done."

"Good to see you're in one piece…" Tanaka said as he panted from playing so many games.

Saeko smirked and looked behind her, at the two boys: Kageyama and Hinata. She then made room for them at the gym's entrance.

After they got warmed up they also played volleyball with their team, 9 sets and they finally won not having to do a penalty.

At night when they all finished Yamaguchi went to his spot to sleep in in the room where everyone at Karasuno was to sleep. He was going to wait until Tetsurou texted him, but being exhausted from all the penalties that he had to do he fell quickly asleep.

When he woke up he found he had many text messages.

Tetsurou: Hey Tadashi are you in Tokyo now? How about we meet up in a few?

Tetsurou: I'm free now. Let's meet up outside the gym everyone was practicing in if we are at the same place this will tell us.

Tetsurou: Are you here?

Tetsurou: Hello?

Tetsurou: Asleep?

He rubbed his eye with his hand as he typed out his response:

Yamaguchi: Yeah, sorry I had to do so many flying falls I couldn't keep my eyes open once it was lights-out

Yamaguchi waited a few minutes. No response. He believed Tetsurou was already up and practicing or he was sleeping still.

He got up and dressed for practice. They started warming up. Yamaguchi, while warming up, kept reminding himself how stupid he was. How could he fall asleep? He wanted to meet Tetsurou, he wished he didn't fall asleep and miss meeting him.

After a few games their time in Tokyo was done.

Tsukishima and Yamaguchi sat side by side on the bus. Yamaguchi looked at his phone, the second time that day since the first was in the morning.

Nothing.

Maybe Tetsurou didn't want to talk with him. Maybe he hurt him by falling asleep. Yamaguchi covered his face in his free hand, he just hoped his friendship with Tetsurou wasn't over for good.

They arrived in the Miyagi Prefecture.
