Before I face the wrath of all the other giant volleyball players, I put my hair up. I braid two parts of my hair, one on each side of my face which shows my white dyed hair, and tie it all back into a pony-tail.
I walk toward the gym, no longer wanting to kill my brother. All the players were taking a break and Karasuno was running up the hill in scorching weather.
"So, you played volleyball, huh?" Kuroo asks
"Shut it Kuroo….. Don't look at me like that, I might as well be known as a third year, I was moved up to a third year class with Kou, even if I am only supposed to be a second year."
"Oya? Why did ya quit?" He asks.
"Injury." I left it blunt since there was no need to tell him more.
"Arisu!" I turned around to see my big bro racing toward me and swinging his arm around my shoulder. I didn't flinch or gag at him or his sweat, I was used to it by now.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Wanna play a game later on?" He asked
"Kou, you know I don't want to."
"You play recreationally but not with your brother?" He asks, depressed, glancing his puppy dog eyes down at me. It is true that I am short compared to him, but I was still 5"6.
"What are you looking at me for? You stated a fact, I don't play with you anymore."
"Please~" He asks again, pleadingly.
"You already got me to stay, and now you want me to play, too?" Koutarou nodded vigorously at these words.
"Then, what would I get out of it?"
"Ooooh, are we finally playing a game with you Arisu?"
"I really~ want to see you play!"
"You owe me lunch." I pointed a finger at Koutarou as I finally gave in.
"Three sets, that's it." I put it as blunt as possible
We were scheduled to play the match that some had pleaded me to play after lunch, and lunch had just arrived. I grabbed food and Koutarou had pulled me to sit with him, although I was heading to sit with Noya. All in all, the main people at this camp who knew anything about me were Koutarou, Akaashi, Kuroo, and Noya.
"So you're playing a practice match with us huh?" Kuroo poked.
"Akaashi, any help?" I asked.
"Don't worry, Arisu, your big brother is here to save you!" Koutarou joked as he swung his arm around my shoulder, this made me laugh a little, causing the people around us to look at me.
"What? Just because I want to kill Kou when he does this kind of stuff with me doesn't mean I can't laugh."
The rest of lunch went by in a rush and the practice match had arrived. I was my usual position when it came to volleyball, wing spiker, and like Kou had promised, we were on the same team. The teams were the following:
Team A
(WS) Bokuto Arisu
(WS) Bokuto Koutarou
(MB) Kuroo Tetsurou
(MB) Eikichi Chigaya
(S) Kenma Kozume
(L) Nishinoya Yuu
Team B
(WS) Tanaka Ryunosuke
(WS) Daiki Ogano
(MB) Lev Haiba
(MB) Hinata Shoyo
(S) Kageyama Tobio
(L) Yuki Shibayama
We all stepped onto the court, I was the one to serve first. Koutarou gave the other team a cheeky smile and a thumbs up before I started my serve.
I threw the ball up into the air and began running towards it
"A jump serve?!" The other team cried out in shock. I jumped up and my hand met the ball.
"Okay, start off with a harder serve so they know you mean trouble, but not so hard that I lose too much stamina right at the start. I'll aim for the corner of the court and paint the line." I thought to myself. It was as if I was seeing everything in slow motion. I could feel the ball smack from my palm and could hear the thud of it painting the line on the opposite court. Everyone stared at me in shock, except of course Koutarou, he knew how I played.
"What? You didn't think Koutarou was the only one in the family who could play, did you?" I asked.
"Service ace!" Kou yelled, and everyone on the side of the net I was on yelled the same thing. I let out a smug half smile, but only for a fraction of a section.
"BRING IT ON!" The buzzcut guy yelled with the other team in unison. I went back and did a similar serve to before, only this time aiming for Hinata, the reason I aimed for him was because he was apparently bad at receiving. He received the ball but it bounced off his arm and deflected to the couches.
Now, for my last serve, I did a soft hit because I actually wanted to play a bit now. Yuki dug it up and sent us a chance ball.
"I got it!" Nota yelled as he received it, giving it to Kenma.
"Kenny, over here." I said, I jumped up and he passed me the ball. Lev and Hinayana jumped up and I hit it right past them.
"Hey, hey, hey. That's my sister!" Kou yelled
"Both of them are really good. It's overkill just how good they both are."
