(Directly after they lost the Nekoma match, I forgot about Tsukishima's bet lol)
The whole gym fell silent as we all crowded around Ukai, well the third years and most of the second years seemed to not really care, but Tanaka, Chibinoya, Kageyama, Hinata and I were all practically breathing down the new coaches neck.
"Who...who was the best player?" I ask again, the shop keeper looks down at his notes before sending me a smug grin.
"You want to know huh? I'm sure you'll love who I picked" He says evilly and I gulp nervously. With an evil laugh, the blonde flips the page around so we can see it. Written in big bold letters was.
M I K A
Tsukishima could not stop himself from laughing, neither could any one else in the gym. Even Nekoma's boys were having a giggle at the distraught look on Tanaka and Nishinolifes faces. Kageyama grumbles and looks away from us all.
"I'm glad it wasn't me" He mumbles stubbornly. Tsukishima walks up to the black haired male and sends him a smug grin before grabbing his drink. I, was frozen with shock. My jaw practically hit the floor and there were tears streaming down my face. I hear someone call my name and I quickly snap out of my daze.
"OH YEAH! I'M SO MUCH FUCKIN BETTER THAN YOU-"
Ukai begs the board he was using at me and I collapse on the floor, my last words before death were-
"I'm even better than the street light with glasses and the bald eagle experiment gone wrong, I have lived a good life"
Lets just say, the two boys almost chocked on their drinks when they heard those words.
BACK INTO THE NOW~

~(Just kidding, Mika loves you~)
\\\
It was two days after the training camp. We were back at school, when I say we, I mean me and you guys. What? Ahem anyway, I had been looking for Tsukishima whenever I had a chance but no matter where I went, he was already gone.
He woke up and walked to school early so that he didn't have to deal with me, he sat furthest from me in class, with a person on either side of him. He'll outright ignore me when I try to talk to him, and he hasn't replied to my messages. He clearly isn't ready for an apology but I'm so sick of chasing him. I'm sick of feeling guilty. I need to just stop hanging on to my friendship with the blonde. He'll be a member of the team I'm managing and nothing else. I sigh quietly, my breath causing fog because of the cold air around me.
Should I really just stop being friends with him? Over something as small as that? My immaturity was what ruined everything in the first place. Still, he's being petty. I know that is his personality but I don't think I can handle being friends with someone like that. Someone who won't forgive you, no matter how much pride you swallow just to apologise. And guess who walks past with Tadashi just as that thought crosses my mind? This will be the last attempt. I run up to the two boys, stopping in front of them and holding my hand in front of Tsukki's chest. I look down and squeeze my eyes shut.
"Tsukishima, if you ignore me this time, I will no longer make any attempt to recognise your existence" I try not to look at Tadashi as I say this, knowing that if I saw his pity filled eyed I'd probably cry. Tadashi shouldn't be shoved into this. Tsukishima shouldn't be taking control of my life either. Who I love is who I love. I didn't love him though, whatever it was, it wasn't love. Most likely admiration.
"Mika you're speaking your thoughts" The freckled boy mumbles and my eyes widen, I look up to see that Tadashi was the only one still standing there. He looks at me sadly before nodding and walking away.
Screw it, I'm going to be immature. Fuck Tsukishima Kei.
The training lesson
"MIKA!" My favourite ginger jumps onto my back and spins me around, I laugh before pushing him off.
"Why weren't you hanging out with Tsukishima today? I was looking for you!" He shouts, his endless amount of energy being shown by the way he was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet. I bite my lip, looking away with a nervous look in my eyes. Shouyou stares at me with a pout on his face and I sigh, punching his arm softly.
"I don't want to be friends with that jerk anymore" I mumble, Shouyou's eyes widen and he looks at me with shock.
"But you two-"
"Nope, its just Mika and her MiMi's" I say with a casual smile. The ginger tilts his head with confusion and I roll my eyes, ruffling his hair.
"You'll learn one day boy" I mumble, my attention now on Tanaka who was hiding behind Daichi and staring at me. I bite the inside of my cheek as guilt fills my body. I wave at the baldy and Daichi shoves Tanaka away from him and towards me.
"Tanaka I-"
"Mika don't apologise-"
"Senpai...I fucked up. I'm sorry, can we return to being friends again? You're too good for me anyway" I hold my hand out for a fist bump, only to be pulled into a bone crushing hug.
"You're a dumbass Mika-chan" He teases, pulling away and messing up my hair, earning a shrill whine from me. He laughs and runs off again to hide behind Daichi. Who was now standing in front of me. God, today is so over dramatic. Someone play the happy upbeat music.
"I don't know what happened Mika, but the team needs you to return to normal. Ok?"
Oh yeah...teams...
I look around the court, counting heads before nodding and facing Daichi.
"Can I make an announcement?"
The team was all sitting on the floor facing me, Tsukishima was looking at the roof. I feel a lump grow in my throat but I push it back, instead smiling with fake excitement.
"Guys...I joined the girls volleyball team"
I watch as everyones faces change. Most of the team looked excited, with the exception of one. Tsukishima was staring at me with wide eyes, it was for less than 2 seconds though. So maybe its not staring? I'm not sure. Suddenly theres a loud cheering.
"Mika are you going to be the ace?" Hinata asks, raising his hand like some sort of primary school student.
"THATS THE PLAN!" I shout, everyone starts laughing and I pout.
"Whats so funny? I'd be a boss ass ace" I mumble, crossing my arms and pouting. Suddenly someones arms wrap around me from behind.
"Good luck Mika-chan" Kiyoko says and the whole gym goes dead silent.
"ITS TOO PURE!" Nishinoya falls over and 'faints', Tanaka fainting soon after. Daichi, Suga and Asahi tear up and the first years all blush. I feel my own face heat up, Kiyoko takes her arms off me and messes up my hair, this earns a death glare from me. She snickers and takes off to fill up the water bottles. I turn back to see Nishinoya and Tanaka crying at my knees.
"Thank you Mika, for blessing us with that sigh-"
Lets just say their sentences got cut off by my foot in their faces. Daichi suddenly stands up and whistles loudly.
"Alright, everyone, LETS START TRAINING" He shouts, everyone hops up and starts setting up everything whilst I stay behind with Ukai, Kiyoko and Daichi.
"Is today your last day?" The captain asks and I shake my head, Daichi raises an eyebrow at me, wanting an explanation obviously.
"Well, since the girls volleyball team trains less than the boys, I need to start as soon as possible. Plus, I'm totally going to force the principle to give us more hours. I'll be out of your hair in like...mm 5 minutes? So uh...yeah this is goodbye-"
The gym once again turns silent. Apparently my words were reaching not just Daichi, Kiyoko's and Ukai's ears, but the rest of the gyms. I look around, noticing the bittersweet look some of my old team mates held. Shouyou runs towards me and pulls me into a mega tight hug.
"I'm going to miss playing volleyball with you" He says, I push him away and rub the back of my neck, trying to ignore the tears building in my eyes.
"Tch, idiot, its not like I'm moving schools. Besides, we're best fri-" My voice breaks a bit and I look away, blinking back tears. Man I am being so over dramatic. Maybe its that time of the month again?
I hear ugly sobbing noises and I am once again pulled into bone crushing hugs, not only Shouyou this time. Now it was the ginger, Yamaguchi, Tinynoya, Tanaka, Suga, Asashi and Ennoshita. It was one mega group hug and it practically made me burst into a set of over dramatic anime tears.
"Isn't this a little too much?" Ukai asks Daichi, who laughs and rubs the back of his head.
"We've always been like this with her" He admits, making the blonde scoff slightly.
"Alright Mika, get out of here before you waste someone else's time"
MIKA IS A PART OF THE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM
(I'm going to guess the names of most the team mates, IF YOU KNOW THE NAMES OF ANY OF THEM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CORRECT ME, THANKS)
I am not an anxious person. I throw myself out there and make myself known. So why do I feel like throwing up and peeing my pants at the same time. Maybe its because I'm still dressed up as a boy, and I'm about to join the girls team. Or maybe its because of my past.
I am staring at the door with a terrified expression, I feel like Asahi. A cough from behind me makes me scream and press my back to the door, facing the short girl with a bright red face.
"I-uh-its-i-"
"Mika?" The brown haired girl asks and my eyes widen. I nod timidly and we stare at each other for about a minute straight. I was cowering under her gaze and she was simply staring at me with confusion.
"You're a girl" She finally says, the sounds of more voices makes me back myself even more against the door. Now there were six more people standing behind her, they were all staring at me. There were two tall girls, twins, who have bluish black hair, A really short one with really short dark brown hair, an average height girl with lighter brown short hair, a fairly tall one with brownish blonde hair and a shortish girl with long light brown hair which was held in two clips.
Then there was the original girl, who I knew as the captain. Her name is Yui Michimiya. I swallow my anxiety and step forwards bowing quickly before sending them an anxious smile.
"Nice to meet you all, my name is Mika. I'm a girl, and I am the newest member of your team. Thank you for having me!"
Yui sends me a huge grin, walking towards me and patting me kindly on the shoulder. She walks past and opens the doors to the gym, then she turns around and faces me. The light glows behind her, making her look really freakin' cool.
"Welcome to the team!" She shouts.
Before we started training, I was introduced to everyone. The twins are called Rinko and Moe Sudou. The tallest girl with the long hair is called Watabe Nozomi. The girl with the clips in her hair is called Sasaki Chizuru. The shortest girl is called Aoki Manami and the girl with hair like the captains but lighter is called Aihara Mao.
We started out with fairly simple warm ups, actually, the warm ups were really simple. When we finish I give the captain a confused look.
"Shouldn't we go for longer?" I ask, Yui frowns and shakes her head, the other girls seemed equally confused.
"Why would you think that?" She asks and I feel my face warm up as I look away.
"I...well in the boys team they do a lot harder warm ups" I mumble, I hear a few shocked gasps.
"Is that why you dressed up as a boy?" Rinko, I think, asks. Her and Moe both stand in front of me, they look to be the same height as Suga, which wasn't too bad. They seemed to have a fairly similar personality, though Moe was more sassy and Rinko was more cutesy. Moe pets my hair and gives me a humoured look.
"Did those boys do this to your hair?" She asks and my face lights up as I bite my lip.
"Girls, give Mika some space" Yui scolds and they both back off. No one really asks any more questions so we continue with our training. Yui and the others were amazed by my...well everything. I didn't understand to be honest. Why was it such a big deal? I'm not that good.
Everyone had their own talents, but they definitely weren't as good as the boys team. They didn't have a libero either. It made me angry, probably because I'm competitive as hell and want to be better than the boys. When the training ended I was still filled with energy. So was everyone else, I could tell. Ukai told me, if we can still move normally , we haven't trained hard enough. We still had half an hour left and everyone was packing up.
I finally snapped.
I storm over to Yui, grumbling under my breath as I walk. The equally short girl looks at me with confusion as I grab her arm tightly.
"Yui, I joined the boys team because I was bullied by girls in my old teams. They were savage and horrible bit- people, but they trained their hearts out. I-I want to be like that! So...please...let me help you coach this team! Until I find an actual coach anyway" I mumble the last part under my breath. Yui looks at me with shock, I stare back at her with a stern expression. The other girls hadn't noticed, they only stopped when Yui blew the whistle on her chest.
"Girls...," Yui sends me an uncertain look, I smile back and she nods quickly. ",We aren't done"
Now, this is what I'm used to. Everyone was sitting against the wall, drenched with sweat and panting for breath. I don't think Ukai worked the boys this hard, but oh well. I need to whip these girls into shape. I was sitting between Yui and Watabe, both of which were staring at me with horror.
"The boys...trained this hard...every day?" Watabe asks between breaths, I lean my head against the wall as I let out a long laugh.
"Who cares about the boys? we're going to beat them" I say with a huge smirk on my face, for a few minutes, all I could hear was everyones deep breathing.
"Mika..." Yui mumbles, I look at her to see a determined expression on her face.
"Thank you for joining the team" She says with a fierce smile. I smile back before looking at all the other girls, they all seemed just as determined. I slowly get up, standing in front of them and gesturing for them to do the same. We all stand in a circle and put out hands in. Once I get an approving look from Yui I smile.
"To the girls of Karasuno!" I shout, their own shouts echo mine as we throw our sweaty hands into the air.
(I warned you that things were going to change...eheheh)
The next day
I race to school, at least half an hour before the bell was set to go. I needed to ask Takeda for something, it was my last requests from the boys team. It shouldn't be too big a deal either. I bump into Tsukishima, freaky I know right, on the way. Apparently I was running really fast 'cause the blonde fell on his ass, before he could talk I continue running, not wasting my precious time.
I do eventually find the teacher, I scared the poor man half to death when I suddenly slam my hands on the table.
"Mika-I mean Kimamori-chan?" He asks, I quickly bow before standing straight and sending him a smile.
"Can I ask you for a few things, Sensei?"
"Uhm sure, I don't see any reason why not"
I take a deep breath of air, praying that he'd say yes to my requests.
"I need you to give me the original coach Ukai's number, and I want to do a practise match against the boys in a week" I say with a deadly serious expression. The brunettes eyes widen and he stares at me with shock.
It reminded me of Yui's reaction.
"A WEEK?!" She shouts, making me flinch slightly, she sighs and gives me a confused look.
"I uh...well I have faith in us! Please let me do this" I give her a hopeful look and she sighs, poking my forehead gently, like Itachi but only with one finger.
"If we lose, you're packing up the gym by yourself for a week"
I gulp, I really hope it doesn't come to that.
"I uh sure...I have his number here, and yeah we should be free for a practise match-"
"Can we do practise matches weekly then? Just until the girls team gets a coach?"
Takeda gives me a really surprised look.
"What are you planning Kimamori?"
Classes were boring, as usual. Though my mind was never empty, my plans still filling me with excitement and determination. Tadashi moves his desk closer to mine and taps my shoulder gently.
"Mika-chan, I heard you're getting the girls team to do a practise match again us, this isn't about Tsukki right-"
A loud bubble of laughter escapes my lips and the class turns silent, after I calm myself down, and get given a detention, I turn around. I made sure that Tsukishima could see me as I speak with a smirk on my face.
"I bet he asked you to ask that, hmph, he's a bit cocky. I want to practise against the boys team so that my girls can get better, I guess all tall people do have their head in the clouds" With a smug grin I sit properly in my seat, not giving the blonde the satisfaction of my attention. I have far bigger fish to fry.
My stomach starts grumbling and I whine, laying my head on the desk. I should have packed lunch today.
That night at work
"Konbanwaa~" I call out absentmindedly as I walk into the shop, putting my cap and apron on. Ukai stops what he was doing and sends me a dark glare.
"Why do you have my old mans phone number?" He asks, I laugh sheepishly, holding my hands up in defence.
"Its not what you think, I'm not asking for him to coach the girls. I'm asking him to recommend a coach for the girls team, a really tough and heartless one" I explain and the blonde gives me a weird look.
"Thats actually...really smart" he mumbles with shock, he had the expression of someone who just saw a dog cook a cake. I growl under my breath and storm past him, grabbing my broom and sweeping with a pissed off face.
"Weekly matches huh? You're really serious-"
"Oh my god, is Takeda like your boyfriend or something?" I groan, turning around and giggling when I notice the blush on his face.
"What drugs are they selling in the girls team? 'Cause you're really delusional right now girl" He mutters, storming off into the storage room. I roll my eyes and continue sweeping, practically counting down the minutes until I could go home.
Home~
"Hello? Is this Ukai-san? My name is Mika Ki- no no, I don't want you as my coach...can you give me some of your time? Yes...no it won't take long. Ok, well my first question is, do you know any volleyball coaches who aren't currently with a school? Hm thats not mu- no no I'm very grateful. Ok, my next question is which one is the most strict? Ohh...hm..would you mind giving me her numbe- WHAT?! No phone...well how do I meet her then? A-are you serious? No I believe you. So...she likes feeding birds? No thats not weird at all, oh it is weird? Uh ok. So what time? Yep and do you have any other warnings? Don't let my guard down? No I understand. Thank you for your time. Goodbye,"
I flop onto my bed and let out a loud groan, talking to that man in impossible. Well at least I have a lead. This chick sounds like she'd be hard to crack though. I'm kinda terrified. How should I deal with her? Apparently she doesn't believe that cellphones are a necessity, if someone wants to find her they can put in effort. Also, shes only free from a school because she quit, apparently the kids weren't worth her time. I gulp, I really should have considered the other two.
The house was eerily silent, which was the complete opposite of my mind. I had formed a checklist on what I needed to do to make the girls team powerful.
Maybe even good enough to take out nekoma's boys team.
Please tell me that you guys will like this change in character and story. I wanted to give the girls team the love they deserve, plus I wasn't sure what else to do. I think this new idea will be good, it is great character development for Mika and the members of the girls team.
Oh, and for you shippers out there, Mika is a bisexual ;)
Please give me feedback, tell me if you like this new idea or if you want her to be a manager.
Ok, Jayde out!
