A/n: The anticipated match between our favorite Nekoma duo and my cute little OC's. It's going to be split into multiple chapters cause apparently writing out a volleyball match takes a lot of words... Enjoy snowflakes~
Chapter 6
Kenma gave Kuroo a deadpan stare. Knowing he would try to run, Kuroo grabbed the back of his shirt as he tried to walk away. "Yes, we are doing this and you are going to be my partner."
Shiro looked up from her game upon reaching the group. "What partner?"
"We're going to do a two v two volleyball match at the court near the station. You and your sister against me and Kenma."
Shiro gave her sister a glare. "Did you challenge him, Nee-chan? You know you can't just keep challenging people to matches."
"Please, Shy girl here wouldn't have the guts to challenge a kitten." Kuroo scoffed.
Shiro gave him a death glare. "Excuse me, don't you dare talk about my sister that way."
Kuroo met her glare with an arrogant look. Lowering down so he was face to face with her, he grinned, "You're just afraid of getting destroyed by your new friend and his buddy."
Shiro wasn't intimidated. If her sister wasn't going to stand up for herself, she would. "No, I just don't want to be charged with the murder of your ego. They don't sell games in prison, you know?"
Instead of looking angered or offended, Kuroo chuckled, "Don't worry about that Chibi-chan."
Shiro continued to glare at the messy bedhead. "Change of plans, Nee-chan. We're going to knock this bean pole down a few pegs then go home."
Yuki just stood there watching the exchange. When Kuroo had insulted her, she hadn't responded at all. Honestly, she was just trying to figure out why her mind and body refused to cooperate when he was around.
Kenma just continued to play his PSP while Kuroo held the back of his collar, preventing him from running. Not that he would; it was too much work.
Time Skip
"First to 15 wins, deuces included." Kuroo said as soon as they arrived. Tossing the ball he had pulled from his bag to Shiro, he smirked, "Here, ladies first."
Shiro's expression didn't change. Instead, she caught the ball and walked right up to her sister. Taking the volleyball, she brought her arm back and chucked the ball straight into her sister's stomach.
"ITAI!" Yuki shouted in pain and surprise. "What the heck was that Shiro?"
"Snap out of it." She told her simply, expression still neutral. "You serve first."
Glaring at her little sister, Yuki picked up the ball and ignored the snickering coming from the other side of the court. She kind of deserved that. Honestly, Shiro probably did her a huge favor.
Bouncing the ball a couple of times to get the feel of it, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them, her emerald green eyes shone with focus and determination. Throwing the ball in the air, she ran forward with a jump and slammed it with all her might.
Bang!
The ball hit the other side and bounced off. Kuroo and Kenma stood there with looks of shock on their faces. Kuroo's mouth was hanging open while Kenma's eyes widened to the size of saucers.
"Oh so kitty's got claws then?" Kuroo smirked. "Let's clip them."
Kenma just gave his partner a dull stare.
Yuki heard none of it. Instead, she caught the ball that was tossed back to her and bounced it again. Throwing it up in the air again, she jumped and slammed it. This time, however, it was received by Kuroo.
Shiro and Yuki watched the ball as it rose high in the air towards Kenma. The shorter boy watched the ball and lifted his arms to set it. As the ball fell into his hands, Kuroo ran to the left where Shiro was guarding and jumped for the spike.
Slam!
The spike landed on the floor. Shiro stared at him with an assessing look. She was taking note of his movements and filing them for later. Yuki glanced at her sister. Shiro hadn't even bothered to jump despite being right in front of Kuroo's spike.
Kuroo looked arrogantly at the duo on the other side of the net. The spike wasn't even at his full power, yet it easily made it past their defenses. Looking over to his partner, he paused. Kenma's usual lazy demeanor was gone, replaced by his alert, calculating gaze that he only used in official matches.
Catching the ball Yuki tossed back to him, he tore his eyes from his teammate to go to the back and serve. I'm probably overthinking things. Other than that jump serve, they don't seem especially skilled. Kuroo reassured himself.
Throwing the ball up, he whacked the ball to the other side of the court. The ball flew straight at Yuki. Kuroo stepped closer to the net waiting to see where her receive would fly to. His eyes widened as a flash of white flew by him to receive the ball. It hit high into the air, but Kuroo's eyes were on the girl in front of him staring. Peridot eyes glanced briefly at him before she was on the move again.
Heading towards the opposite side of the court, Shiro prepped for her jump. Her arms went behind her to give her the momentum upwards. Once she was close enough to the net, she jumped.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Shiro could see the ball flying towards her position. Now! She thought to herself, slamming her left hand down at the ball.
Bam!
"One touch!" Kuroo cried out. His face was in a grimace. Stunned by the strange receive-set combo, he had been late chasing after the spiker leading to his fingertips just grazing the ball allowing for a second chance. Luckily for him, the left spin on the ball only caused the ball to go higher instead of haywire.
Kuroo could feel the place the ball had hit tingling. For a squirt like her, she sure hits hard. He noted in surprise and a bit of awe. His eyes followed the ball as Kenma ran to the back to receive it. Since Kenma had first hit, they wouldn't be able to get a spike in as Kenma couldn't jump high enough to spike.
"Kuroo!" His childhood friend shouted at him.
Kuroo's eyes widened as he saw Kenma set to him from the back of the court with an underhand pass. A determined look crossed his face as he ran and jumped to spike the ball.
Boom!
