A/N: hey guys! Here I am with anither chapter! I'm sorry you guys had to wait a little while for the second chapter. There's the end of the semester going on and I got myself caught in some drama online...luckily it's died down, but I don't think it'll be over for a few more weeks, but I'll be ok. Anyway, I wanted to say this in chapter 1, but I'm not in anyway a criminal justice expert or know too much of how court works. Idk how the Japenese court system goes (I tried looking it up), so I'll be going off on what I've seen in American court cases. If anyone knows anything about court and trial, please leave me some pointers. Anyway, I'm gknna go ahead and get to those lovely reviewers!
CarlaBLa22: I'm not really a fan of HSM soooo RIP...also yaaassss our bois are back! There will be a trial, but of course, I can't immediately jump into the court scene, but I do have several ideas that I can't wait to put in. I can't tell you my plans about Jiro, but I do have ideas. You'll just have to wait and see hehehe!
Myherogal22: I can't wait for you to see more of it! I'm hoping this sequel will get as much love as the first one. I hope to see more of you as the story goes on!
Anyway guys, I hope you enjoy the chapter! I must admit, I did recieve a little bit of writer's block, but I'm not gonna let it take me so early in the story. Buuuttt I'm gonna go ahead and let you guys read it!:)
I own nothing of Haikyuu!
After practice, Daichi decided to treat the team to some meat buns...which of course everyone was excited for.
"Alright guys! Eat up so we can go home!" Daichi announces.
To no one's surprise, Hinata and Kageyama were basically horking it down without chewing...or at least it looked that way.
"If you keep eating like that, you'll end up choking to death," Tsukishima smirked.
"Fffurudkckcjf," Hinata said with his mouth full.
Tsukishimia rolled his eyes. "Yea, I didn't hear a word you just said."
Yamaguchi gave a small smile. Meanwhile, Nishinoya and Tanaka were up to their own shenanigans again.
"Ok so listen, listen my dude!" Nishinoya said. "At National's, boys are going to want to ask out our lovely Kiyoko! We cannot let that happen! There shall be no dudes to go after her!"
"But of course!" Tanaka says back. "But how shall we protect her? Shall we use our torture method?"
"I...don't think that's necessary," Suga couldn't help but overhear and said. "I'm sure Kiyoko will be fine at National's."
Daichi sighed. "Suga, you're not going to be able to convince them," he then glares at them. "But if I see any of you take out the competition-."
"Eep! Ok, ok, we get it!" Tanaka says quickly while Nishinoya hid behind him.
Suga sighs as Daichi shook his head before going back to talking to Suga. Tanaka turned around to see Nishinoya was still clutching his shirt.
"Uh...Noya, you can let go now."
"Oh...right," Nishinoya chuckled nervously. "Anyway-."
He was suddenly cut off by his phone ringing. Tanaka raised an eyebrow at this as Nishinoya pulled out his phone and saw who was calling. His mother. Oh boy.
"Gotta take this," Noya told Tanaka before walking away from the group and answering his phone.
"Hey mo-."
"Where are you?!" his mom suddenly cut him off.
This caught Noya off guard.
"Uh...the team and I stopped to get some food."
There was a slight sigh of relief coming from his mother before she spoke up again.
"Yuu, how many times do I have to tell you to let me know that you're gonna be late coming home?!"
"Never? Mom, I stay late all the time. Why is this time any different?"
"Honey...you have to know about the whole lawyer meeting...right?"
"I do. Takeda told us during practice. What I don't get is why you're so worried. I mean, the guy's in jail right now. Nothing bad's going to happen to me."
"You say that...but-."
"Those were just two bad timing incidents. I'm fine, mom. Now I gotta go. I'll be home soon."
His mother sighed. "Alright, but we'll talk more when you get home."
"Alright. Bye mom," Nishinoya hung up before sighing.
"What was that about?" Nishinoya was startled as he jumped and turned to see Tanaka standing several feet away from him.
"Wha...Tanaka! What the hell man?! Were you listening?!"
"Not really. I just heard bits and pieces."
Noya sighed. "Just my mom suddenly being overprotective. Makes no sense, I know."
Tanaka frowned. "Has she always done that?"
"No...then again, I have been coming straight home after practice since that call about the case. Doesn't make sense why she's so worried since the dude's in jail."
Tanaka just shrugs. "Probably just a mother being overprotective about her son."
Noya laughed. "Yea. She'll probably be like this for a few days and then it'll all blow over. Anyway, let's get back with the team. They'll probably wonder why we're all the way over here."
"Yea...besides, I think Hinata and Kageyama are trying to have an eating contest with the rest of their meat buns."
Noya's eyes sparkled. "That sounds awesome! 20 bucks that Hinata will throw up first!"
"Oh you are so on!"
Nishinoya and Tanaka then sped walked back to the rest of the team.
Mrs. Nishinoya hung up the phone after her son hung up. She let out a sigh as she put the phone away. Yuu's alright...that's a relief.
"Who was that on the phone, Hayami?" the sound of her husband came from the stairs behind her.
"Oh...well that was Yuu."
"Yuu called for once?" Mr. Nishinoya laughed. "That seems-."
He looked up to see his wife frowning, and immediately knew the situation.
"You called him, didn't you?"
"Katashi, I had to! He hasn't come home yet and I-."
"He does this all the time! So why's this time any different?"
"Because...Jiro-."
"Is in jail. He can't hurt him, Hayami. He won't be able to hurt him in court either. I promise, Yuu is ok. Besides, he's with his team, right?"
"Y-yea...he is."
"Then there's nothing to worry about."
Mrs. Nishinoya looks down and takes a shaky breath.
"Honey...do you remember that night we got that call from his coach about...what happened?"
Mr. Nishinoya frowned. "How could I forget?"
…
*about 2 months earlier*
Mr. and Mrs. Nishinoya were finishing up with dinner. It was getting close to the time Yuu got off practice and would be on his way home...unless of course he forgets to tell his parents if he's staying late or hanging with the team. Honestly at this point, his parents weren't surprised if Yuu just came home at 9 or even 10. As the couple finished eating, they began to clean up.
"Don't forget to leave a plate out for Yuu. He'll be starving when he gets home," Mrs. Nishinoya told her husband.
Mr. Nishinoya laughs. "You say this to me all the time, dear. I already know."
"Alright."
The two of them finished up with cleaning dinner up and then went to do their own thing. Mrs. Nishinoya went to read her book while Mr. Nishinoya watched the evening news. They did this for about an hour when the phone suddenly began to ring. Conveniently, Mrs. Nishinoya just finished a chapter of her book. She closed her book and got to her feet.
"I'll get it!"
"Alright!" Mr. Nishinoya shouted from the living room.
Mrs. Nishinoya went and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is this Nishinoya's mother?"
Mrs. Nishinoya somewhat recognized the voice.
"Yes...is this Ukai? Yuu's coach?"
"Yes it is."
Oh boy...if Yuu's coach was calling…
"Did he get into trouble again? I swear if this is something like he did with the vice principal-."
"No, no it isn't that!"
Mrs. Nishinoya kept forgetting Ukai wasn't the coach yet when Yuu assaulted the vice principal.
"Then what is it?"
Ukai took a deep breath and after a few moments, he spoke again.
"I need you to listen carefully. Your son...he's in the hospital."
And that's when Mrs. Nishinoya froze, nearly dropping the phone in the process.
"W-what?!" Mrs. Nishinoya shouted, her voice cracking.
At this point, Mr. Nishinoya heard his wife's terrified voice, got up from the couch, and walked over to listen to what was happening.
"Please tell me it's because he broke his leg or something!"
Ukai sighed. "I wish that was the case. I really hate to tell you this but...he was stabbed."
Mrs. Nishinoya's breath got caught in her throat.
"H-he...he was what?! B-but how is that possible?!"
"I can only assume he was attacked. Some of his teammates found him stumbling into the gym bleeding pretty badly. One of them called me to tell me, and I got caught behind an ambulance on the way there. I'm going to be honest with you...he didn't look too good when I saw him. And that was with towels pushed against his wound. His teammates and I are at the hospital right now."
Mrs. Nishinoya gulped and took a deep breath, trying not to let the tears flow.
"O-ok...I'll be there soon!"
"I'll be waiting out front."
And then Mrs. Nishinoya hung up, taking a shaky breath. She tried to process what news was just spilled to her. This was every parent's worst nightmare! Mrs. Nishinoya heard an ambulance pass by not too long ago, but never in a million years would she have ever thought it would be her only son.
"Hayami, what's wrong?" Mrs. Nishinoya looked over to see her husband standing several feet away from her...looking very concerned. "Who was that on the phone?"
"I-it was Yuu's coach!"
Mr. Nishinoya sighed. "What did he do this time? Did he give the vice principal trouble again?"
"I wish!"
Mr. Nishinoya blinked in shock and confusion.
"O-ok that sounded bad! But Katashi, Yuu's in the hospital because he was stabbed!"
Mr. Nishinoya's stomach dropped as he felt frozen and numb.
"What?!"
"He said his teammates saw him coming in the gym and now…"
Mr. Nishinoya clenched his fists...fighting the urge to turn around and punch the wall.
"If he was stabbed, then that means...someone attacked him! Hayami, grab your coat! We're going to the police station!"
Mrs. Nishinoya frowned. "But...I was going to head to the hospital to check on Yuu's condition!"
Mr. Nishinoya looked back to his wife and sighed.
"Alright. I'll drop you off at the hospital first. I'll head to the police station afterwards, but you have to promise me you'll let me know what his condition is as soon as you find out!"
"Deal!"
Mrs. Nishinoya hopes she will be telling her husband good news.
"Ok, let's get moving!"
Yuu's parents frantically grabbed their coats and put on their shoes before basically sprinting out the door. They got in the car, and Mr. Nishinoya started speeding away towards the hospital.
…
*present*
"I'm just...I don't want that to happen again," Mrs. Nishinoya sighed. "And then we got that call from Tanaka saying he and Yuu were attacked by the same guy. Not to mention Ennoshita saved Tanaka from death."
"But as I said, he's in jail. He's not going to hurt by him anymore," Mr. Nishinoya hugged his wife.
"Yea I know...but you can't blame me for worrying."
"I know."
Nishinoya and Tanaka laughed as they started walking home.
"Oh man, that was great!" Nishinoya laughed.
"Yea! The look on Daichi's face after Suga had to use the Heimlich Maneuver on Kageyama! I mean obviously it wasn't great when Kageyama was choking, but just Daichi going off on Kageyama afterwards! I mean, Tsukishimia did warn them."
"Kageyama! You shouldn't be eating too fast! Quit trying to have eating competitions with Hinata! Same goes for you, Hinata!" Nishinoya did his best Daichi voice.
Tanaka laughed. "Man, that's perfect!"
Daichi sneezes and Suga looks over at him.
"Hey now, don't get sick," Suga smirked.
"I'm not getting sick!" Daichi says defensively.
Suga laughs. "I'm just messing with you."
Nishinoya and Tanaka continued walking home.
"So...what are the chances your parents are going to talk to you when you get home."
"Most likely. My guess is either because of meeting with the lawyer or of how I didn't tell them I was hanging out with you guys."
"Eh, I'm sure you won't get too much crap."
Nishinoya just shrugs as they reach the road where they split up.
"Welp, see ya tomorrow, Noya!" Tanaka waves.
"You too," Noya waves back before they went their separate ways.
Nishinoya just walked silently home the rest of the way, thinking of what he was going to say to their lawyer tomorrow. As he was thinking, he didn't realize he reached his house until he went face first into the door. He wasn't expecting this, so he let out a startled yell and stumbled back slightly, hand over his nose. A few moments later, the door swung open so fast, Nishinoya was surprised that the hinges didn't snap off. There revealed his mother.
"Wha...Yuu, are you ok?"
Nishinoya grunts. "Yea I'm fine. Just...didn't see the door."
Mrs. Nishinoya let out a relieved sigh as she walked up to her son to move his hand away from his nose. She inspected his hand before looking at his nose.
"Well, it isn't bleeding at least," she sighs. "Honestly Yuu, one of these days you're going to break your nose on the door."
Nishinoya let out a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Now come on. Let's go inside."
Nishinoya nods as he followed his mother inside before closing the door behind him. Mr. Nishinoya looked up from the kitchen and gave a small smile.
"Hey Yuu. How was practice?"
"Great as always. One of the only bad things was Hinata and Kageyama basically tackled me in front of the club room."
"Uh...what were they doing?" Mr. Nishinoya asked.
"Racing obviously."
"What else is new?"
Nishinoya laughed. "Yea really."
"Yuu?" Mrs. Nishinoya caught the libero's attention.
"Yea what's up?"
"I think...we need to discuss about tomorrow."
Noya frowns. "What's there to talk about? I just have to tell him what happened that night."
"But Yuu...are you sure you-?"
"Mom, you need to calm down. I'll be fine. You're more nervous than I am! Come on now!"
"Yuu!" Mrs. Nishinoya says sternly. "You can't just pretend that everything will work out. What would happen if-?"
"I'll be fine," Nishinoya smiled. "Besides, there's a lot of evidence against him. I mean, what are the chances he'll be found innocent? Pretty low, right? Anyway. I'm gonna go take a shower."
Before his mother could respond, Noya turned around and walked away. She sighs as she turned back to her husband.
"Honey, I'm worried about him. He's acting like everything is alright."
"Maybe that's how he really feels," Mr. Nishinoya suggested.
Mrs. Nishinoya turned back in the direction her son walked away.
"Maybe...but I have a bad feeling…"
