"And while she's getting closer with your club, we'll slowly work it into her head that maybe she could get a boyfriend, and that she could join the volleyball club. And now that you know, you can help us, you see, another part of that was your team is full of strong capable boys, and they can offer her protection when she needs it. She's probably going to need it now more than ever, and it's only a matter of time…" Aima says, her words falling off though Kozu sets his phone down. "Does her friend know that she's in the competition?" Kozu asks, looking over at Aima with a serious face. "No, I don't think so." Aima says, and Kozu sighs softly. "I figured so, and while I see why you did this and how it's to help Kimi-chan, but… her friend could be the fatal flaw. If he finds out the wrong way, he'll tear through everyone involved." Kozu says, slowly twining his fingers together as he stared at Kimiko. "What do you mean?" Aima asks, and Kozu gestures to Kimiko. "She has a guard dog. I'll assume you haven't met, but he's the one she plays volleyball with. If he doesn't know, it's best that Kimiko slowly eases him into it, and then you explain." Kozu says, though Aima stares at him confused.
"Because if he finds out the wrong way, he will not take it easy, he will hunt down everyone involved and… it won't be pretty. He is her guardian in a sense, but he doesn't go to Karasuno, he goes to…" Kozu says, though Aima cuts him off. "Aoba Johsai?" She asks, and he just nods. "He needs to know, and we have to walk on eggshells and ice to get him to go along with it." Kozu says, sighing softly as he picks his phone back up. "I'll bring it up to Kimiko, you be ready to tell him everything about your plan. He will more than likely want to harm you until you find a way to get through to him." Kozu says, beginning to tap away on his phone again, feeling exhausted from talking so much. Kimiko suddenly whimpers, tossing side to side, everyone tensing as Aima and Misaki jump into action. "Kimiko! Hey, it's okay, you're safe! It's just a dream." Aima says, taking my hand and gently squeezing it, bringing me out of my nightmare. "We're here, Kimiko, it's me, Aima, Kozu-kun, Kuroo-kun and Daichi-kun. We won't let anything happen to you." Misaki says as I gasp for air, blinking my eyes open desperately as I still feel trapped in the embrace of my terrible nightmare.
I whimper softly as I squeeze my eyes shut, my nightmare replaying in my mind. I quickly opened them, looking around and seeing I was back in the Kurasuno club training camp room. "Hey, just breath, it's okay." Aima says, lifting me up as I take deep breaths. "Sorry, I had a nightmare." I mumble, shaking my head to clear the memories, my hand finding its way to my stomach. "And I passed out while we were in the middle of something, ah I'm so off today! What were we talking about?" I ask, running a hand through my hair and giving them a shy awkward smile. "We were discussing how that guy got the video, we think we figured it out, but if you want to wait we were going to ask you another thing, right, Kozu-kun?" Aima says, sparing Kozu a glance as he slowly nods. "I'd appreciate it if we talked about the other thing first." I whisper, Aima squeezing my hand gently. "You need to tell your guard dog about the competition." Kozu says simply, making me flinch as I slowly raise my eyes to look at him. "D-do I really have to? He's gonna be so mad!" I say, Kozu gives me a serious look. "You have to tell him, Kimi-chan." Kozu says simply as I deflate.
