I own nothing of Haikyuu expect my ocs

Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Jail, a man by the name of Jiro Katsu lies in his bed staring at the ceiling. He's been living in the same cell for a little over a month now, and honestly it was starting to bore him. When he found out about the court date, he felt excitement to see if he could get out of this hellhole.

However, as Jiro already knew, the odds of that happening was against him. He groans in frustration as he sat up and threw his pillow roughly on the ground. Immediately he heard a voice from the bottom bunk.

"Can you please keep your temper tantrums to a minimum? I'm trying to sleep!"

Jiro leaned over his bunk to attempt to see his cellmate.

"I'll stop when you stop with your tapping on the walls at night!"

"I don't do that!"

"You were doing it last night!"

Jiro groans in frustration as he jumps off the top bunk so he can sit face to face with his cellmate. This obviously annoyed his cellmate as he sat up and looked at him.

"Listen, I'm in no mood to talk!"

"Tough shit, Nagai!"

Nagai then gives him a dirty look.

"If it'll make you shut your mouth and go to sleep, then go nuts!"

"It's just...ugh! My trial is in 2 weeks and I still yet to meet that stupid lawyer! What good is he going to do in getting me the hell out of here?!"

"Hey! Just be happy that you get a trial so soon! I've been here since August and I just found out last week that I have my trial in midFebruary! February, Jiro! So I don't want to hear your pointless complaining about when your court date is!"

"Tsk...I feel like the only reason why my court date is so soon is so because that stupid libero and his pathetic little team wouldn't miss their precious Nationals torunament."

"Honestly, you're such a baby."

Jiro glared at him. "What?!"

"You attacked a highschool student over a volleyball tournament and then later tried to kill his friend over the same thing. It's pretty childish really."

"How would you feel if your former team best the same team you lost against in your last year of high school?!"

"I would feel upset, obviously, but not to the point where I would try to kill someone who had nothing to do with that game. I've done sports in high school too you know."

Jiro rolls his eyes. "Whatever. You're one to tell me this."

Nagai glared at him. "What?!"

"You killed someone too! A woman no less! All because she killed someone close to you! Now that is petty revenge!"

Suddenly, Nagai was on his feet and slammed Jiro harshly against the wall.

"Don't you even dare bring that up! Do you really think I wanted to kill her?! I didn't have much of a choice!"

Jiro smirked. "Oh? Did I strike a nerve, pal?"

"Shut up!"

"If you scream any louder, you're gonna wake up the whole complex and the cops will come over."

Nagai grunts as he roughly lets go of Jiro's shirt and turned away. After a few moments, Nagai spoke up again.

"There is one thing we have in common. We're both screwed in our cases. You have evidence piled up against you in terms of hurting that high school kid. I didn't have any witnesses to claim I killed that woman out of self defense. Everyone believes I killed them both."

Jiro stared at his cellmate before sighing.

"Isn't there DNA testing though?"

Nagai turned back to Jiro. "I was the last one who touched the weapon. I'm not sure if they can detect anything else. If they did, they can easily said she was trying to fight back before I ended up killing her."

Jiro couldn't help but frown. "Honestly, I never would think you would mean to kill her. I remember going to my older brother's soccer games and I saw you always being there for everyone...especially women. So for you to kill a woman...it doesn't sound like you."

"Yea...maybe. But you know, I would never think you would try to kill someone either," Nagai's glare returns. "Intentionally nonetheless! After I graduated, I would see you play those volleyball games and you treated your opponents with the utmost respect! And now here you are! Trying to kill Karasuno's current libero who had absolutely nothing to do with what happened during your high school years!"

Jiro's glare returned as well. "It isn't what happened with me! It's what happened with this year's match! I figured those guys would go to where I couldn't go in my third year!"

"They've been to Nationals before you absolute moron! How was this any different?!

"They've always faced Aobajihsai! When I found out about them facing Karasuno, maybe just maybe they could finish off what I couldn't but no! It was a repeat of my third year!"

"That still doesn't give you an excuse to try and kill a current high schooler!"

Jiro rolled his eyes. "Whatever! You know nothing!"

"You can keep throwing temper tantrums if you like! Just do them quietly!"

Nagai angrily went back to his bed and faced the wall, hoping to get some sleep. Meanwhile, Jiro stared at the wall, trying to think of a plan of how he could win the case against Nishinoya.

Jiro was roughly woken up by nearly getting slammed against the wall on his top bunk.

"Ow!" Jiro groaned. "The hell man?"

"Oh just shut up and get up already. The cops will be here to exort us to the cafeteria any minute now."

"Since when do you care?"

"I don't, but I'm hungry. I doubt the cops want to wait too long for us to get ready."

Jiro groans as he sits up and looks to Nagai. Nagai actually just looked done with today already.

"Alright fine. Whatever."

Jiro jumps from his bunk and faced Nagai.

"You could've just left without me you know."

"After what happened last time? Not happening! You skipped breakfast and then complained that you were starving until lunch."

Jiro rolled his eyes as he grabbed a shirt to change into.

"That was one time!"

Nagai rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say man."

Jiro threw the shirt over his head and then faced Nagai again.

"So, about last night-."

"I don't want to hear it! I know you're not gonna apologize and yell at me more."

"Well you're right. My point still stands about that libero, but that wasn't what I was going to say."

"What?"

"You told me you killed that woman out of self defense, but you never fully explained what happened that night. I want to know."

Nagai blinks in surprise before sighing.

"Basically, my friend and I were going to meet somewhere to eat. He wanted to make plans to confess to his crush. I was walking down the street to the restaurant we were meeting at, and I just so happen to look down an alleyway to see a woman attacking my friend. He was trying to calm her down and even tried grabbing the knife, but she got him in the chest. I ran in and pushed her away, telling her to stop, but when I looked down...he was already dead," Nagai had to stop to recompose himself. "I started yelling at her demanding who she is and why would she do this...and then she started attacking me! I tried holding her off and blocking her attacks, but she wouldn't stop. I eventually grabbed the knife, but she still tried to attack me. I...panicked and I stupidly threw the knife at her...I threw it at her head and she died instantly. There were no witnesses before I threw the knife at the woman and only my DNA showed up at the knife. So without any witnesses to testify before I killed the woman, I'm pretty much screwed."

Jiro stared in shock at Nagai, who was basically shaking at this point. It's been 4 months since the incident, and Nagai is still shaken up about it. That's why he blew up at Jiro yesterday. After hearing it, Jiro feels bad about bringing it up to him.

"You never found out that woman's intentions?"

Nagai shakes his head. "No...I killed her before I found out. It happened too fast you know."

Jiro sighs and shakes his head.

"Sorry about your friend, man. That must've been rough."

Nagai nods, not wanting to mention that this must be how Nishinoya felt when he was attacked. He was in no mood to start another argument.

"Hey, if we both win our cases and get out of this dump, we should go out for lunch sometime."

Nagai smiled slightly. "That be cool...but I doubt you'll win your case."

Nagai instantly regretted saying that.

"Hey! You don't know that! I could-!"

Suddenly, an idea formed in Jiro's head and he smirked.

"Oh that's it! I know exactly what to do to help me win my case!"

Nagai didn't like where this was going.

"What are you gonna do?"

"You'll see."

At this time, a police officer came up to their cell.

"Alright you two. Let's get moving to the cafeteria."

Jiro and Nagai walked out before Jiro looked at the officer.

"I would like to make a phone call before we go."

The officer raises an eyebrow.

"Please."

The officer sighs. "Alright fine. You've got five minutes.

The officer leads Nagai to the cafeteria before leading Jiro to a phone. The officer then stood several feet away from him. If this idea was going to work, Jiro had to be careful with his words. He pushed in the phone number and the phone rang for a few moments before there was an answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey Nestori, it's Katsu."

"Ah Katsu...been a while. How's life in jail?"

Jiro rolls his eyes. "Oh hush!" he then lowers his voice so the officer couldn't hear him very well. "Hey listen, you still can make any type of document real or fake, right?"

"Uh...yes I can."

"Then I need you to do me a favor."

A/N: annnnd that's it! I'm sorry this chaoter is shorter than the others, but I feel it was a chapter I should add. This chapter was basically me trying to explore Jiro's character a bit more and to give you guts to decide if you still hate him or have a neutral feeling about him..or a good feeling but you probably don't. Also I wanted add Nagai to show not all potential criminals are bad people...and to basically point out how stupid Jiro is lol (I actually enjoyed writing Nagai's character. Anway guys, please leave any comments and any constructive critism you may have and I'll see you guys in the next chapter! Buh bye!

Btw, merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa if you celebrate it (I don't celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanzaa so RIP)
