A/N: hey guys! Why does nature hate me:')...I swear every time I start feeling better from my cold, it decides to come back...eh whatever. So I meant to post this yesterday, but as I said, my throat decided to hate me and I was also coughing a lot. Well...my main goal was to post yesterday or today so not that bad. I'm not sire if this'll be the last chapter I post before I go back to school on Monday (unfortunately), but I'll try to post one more chapter before Monday...but I make no promises. Anyway, let's get to the reviewers!

Kitty: dododododo welp I can't say annnnyyythhhiinnnng that won't spoil anything in this chapter buuuuttt please don't make the entire country go deaf please lol...and yes I figured this would be a Noya thing to do lol

CarlaBLa22: welp...Noya's thinking of saying some kind words to his attacker *shrugs* what's wrong with that (ok don't answer thatXD) and yes writer's block is the worse and I'm unfortunately still kind of stuck in it...but it isn't that I'm out of ideas...it's finding the motivation to write it so there's that...also thanks, I wasn't really confident with that last chapter.

Anyway guys, I hope you enjoy the chapter!:)

I own nothing of Haikyuu except my OCs

Nishinoya stood in front of the Tokyo jail. It looked bigger than he imagined. If he wasn't here for an important meeting, he would probably be in awe of how big this building actually is. He always thought jail buildings were supposed to be smaller than prisons. Well...it is smaller, but still.

He chuckled slightly as he imagined what would happen if the whole team was here. He and Tanaka would be admiring the building while Daichi would be yelling at them to shut up. Nishinoya then frowned as he remembered the conversation with Tanaka last night. He hoped he doesn't tell the team the truth and just go with the story Nishinoya told him to tell them.

*last night*

As Tanaka received Noya's message, he almost dropped his phone in shock. After coming out of his shock, he had to read Noya's message several times to make sure he read it correctly.

"I'm going to see Jiro at the jail tomorrow"

As soon as Tanaka was sure he didn't read that wrong, he frantically started typing his next message.

"Dude what?! Are you crazy?! You do know this is the same guy who attacked you twice and almost killed me right?!"

Noya sighed, expecting this type of reaction.

"We're gonna have to see him anyway so I'd figure I would see him again before the trial...that way, I could tell him everything I want to tell him"

"And your parents are ok with this?"

"No...they don't think it's a good idea...but they understand why I have to see him"

"Noya, this isn't a good idea"

"I'll be fine, Tanaka...I just want you to cover for me"

"If you're going at least let me go with you...I don't want you to go alone"

"If we both go, it'll be suspicious...besides, wouldn't Saeko not be ok with it and not let you go?"

"She wouldn't care"

Nishinoya sighed...forgetting the fact that Tanaka was just as stubborn as he was.

"I want to do this alone...I want to speak to him alone ok?"

Tanaka frowned at this and hated the fact that he's going to see this psychopath all by himself.

"Are your parents at least going to be with you?"

"My dad will be...my mom has work tomorrow"

"That's good"

"But I need you to do me a favor"

"What would that be?"

"If anyone tomorrow ask where I'm at, tell them my lawyer wanted to talk more with me and the only time on such short notice was tomorrow after school"

Tanaka hated the idea of keeping this type of secret, but he knew the others would freak out if they knew where Noya was at...besides, it looked like Noya didn't want anyone else to know. Not only that, but Tanaka feels he could get yelled at for letting Noya go instead of convincing him not to. Tanaka sighed as he hesitantly texted back.

"Will do"

*present*

Nishinoya knew Tanaka would lose it if he came here. He also didn't want Tanaka to know he was also nervous of doing this and he didn't want anyone else to know about this visit.

"Yuu?"

Noya snapped out of his thoughts to look up at his father.

"You ok there bud?"

"Oh...yea I'm fine," Noya chuckled. "Guess I spaced out, huh?"

Mr. Nishinoya frowned. "Yuu, if you don't want to do this-."

"No, I do! Let's go!"

The two of them walked through the doors of the Tokyo Jail and walked up to the counter. They were then met with a police officer standing at said counter.

"May I help you gentlemen with something?"

Nishinoya was about to say something, when his father beat him to it.

"We're here to visit a prisoner here."

The officer nodded and started to type on his computer.

"And what is the prisoner you will be seeing today?"

"Jiro Katsu," his father answered.

The officer nods as he continued typing on his computer before looking up.

"Alright, I let some other officers know so he'll be out shortly. May I have your names?"

"I am Nishinoya Katashi, and this is my son, Nishinoya Yuu."

"Alright…if you'll have a seat over there, we'll be with you in a few minutes."

The two of them nodded before going to sit on the small chairs. As they sat and waited, Mr. Nishinoya looked at his son.

"Hey, did you want me to go in there with you?"

Nishinoya looked at his father. He knew if his father went with him, he would get pissed and try attacking Jiro before Noya had the chance the chance to speak to him. Besides, Noya would rather speak to him alone.

"I...would rather speak to him by myself."

Mr. Nishinoya frowned, before sitting back and nods.

"I understand. Just don't lose your head, alright?"

Noya laughs. "Dad, I'll be fine!"

"Alright."

A few minutes passed before an officer stepped out.

"Nishinoya?"

Mr. Nishinoya and Yuu looked at each other before Yuu stood up and followed the officer. The officer looked over at Mr. Nishinoya, and he motioned her to take him back. She nods as she lead the young libero towards the visiting center.

Meanwhile, Jiro was sitting in his bed, trying to think of his plan to beat Nishinoya in court and be set free from this hellhole. He smiled to himself as he wrote something down.

"You do know this is gonna get everyone involved on your side in trouble, right?"

Jiro stopped what he was doing, and looked down at Nagai, who was in the middle of tying his shoe.

"What are you talking about?"

"Your little friend you decided to talk to that one day to get that fake document and your lawyer. They can be in real trouble if they find out the truth."

"Wouldn't you be in trouble too?"

"What?"

"You know about it and yet, I don't see you telling the cops about it."

"It isn't my trial and frankly I don't want to be involved. It's bad enough I'm already being put on trial for murder, I don't want to be involved in a trial you're most likely gonna lose anyway."

Jiro glared at Nagai. "You know what-?!"

"Jiro Katsu?" an officer's name came in.

Jiro and Nagai looked at each other before Jiro jumped off his bed and looked at the officer.

"You have a visitor."

Once again, Jiro and Nagai looked at each other, both clearly confused. Jiro hasn't had a visitor in a month...the last person here being his mother.

"Alright. Let's get this over with."

The officer unlocked the cell door and motioned Jiro to step out. Jiro obligated and walked out and was lead away from his cell. All the while, Nagai couldn't help but feel curious of who would visit him.

Meanwhile, the officer leading Nishinoya, opened the door towards the visiting center.

"After you," she says.

Nishinoya walked through the door wordlessly as the two continued. It didn't take long before they reached a room with a row of small desks and chairs with dividers in between each of them. Each desk had phones included and a soundproof glass in the middle of both sides.

Nishinoya looked around to see other people preoccupied with whoever they were talking to. Within a few moments after entering, Nishinoya saw him.

He saw the same man who attacked him twice and nearly killed his best friend. The same man who gave everyone issues. The same man why Nishinoya was here in the first place. Upon seeing him, it just made Nishinoya think back on those incidents and the occasional nightmares he would have.

Nishinoya took a deep breath to force himself not to think about it. He can do this. He wanted to do this. He needed to do this. He followed the officer to one of the desks and she nodded.

"I'll be over here whenever you're ready to leave."

Nishinoya nodded. "Thank you."

Nishinoya sat there while he watched Jiro getting escorted into the room. It took a few seconds for Nishinoya and Jiro to lock eyes with each other. Nishinoya kept a stern face on Jiro while Jiro looked shocked at first before smirking. Jiro's officer lead him to his seat before stepping back. They both stared at each other for a few moments before they both reached for the phones. As they both put the phones to their ears, Jiro was the first to speak.

"Well, well, look who we have here. Never thought someone as pathetic as you would come to see me."

"Says the one who's behind bars right now and have a very low chance of winning," Nishinoya fired back.

"You'd be surprised. I have my ways."

Nishinoya said nothing as he narrowed his eyes at him.

"So why are you even here? I would've figured you would be too scared of me to visit me before we see each other again in court."

"Exactly why I'm here. I figured we could see and talk to each other before trial. And scared of you?" Nishinoya laughed. "Yea right, in your dreams!"

"You looked pretty terrified to me the night I went after you and your little friend. There really is no point trying to act all high and mighty now. The only reason why you decided to talk to me now, is because I'm in jail with no weapons on me whatsoever and there's glass dividing the both of us. Not to mention the millions of cops watching both of us. You're nothing but a coward!" Jiro was smirking though all of this.

To say Nishinoya was trying to keep himself from getting angry was a complete understatement. He was using all of his energy to not shake with anger and to not try smashing the glass to beat the living shit out of him. Nishinoya had to take a few breaths to calm his anger down before speaking up.

"I'm the coward? Says the one who attacked not one, but two high school students over a volleyball tournament! You attacked two people who had absolutely nothing to do with your petty vendetta! You say I act all high and mighty, but you're the arrogant one here! After all, you would probably attack high schoolers because you're actually weak. I mean, remember our first fight? The only reason why you won, was because you stabbed me while my guard was down. We were both evenly matched. Pathetic that you were more evenly matched with a high schooler than someone around your age," it was now Nishinoya's turn to smirk.

Jiro, at this point, was glaring at him.

"So let me ask you this. You have so much evidence piled up against you, and yet, you say you'll win somehow. How exactly are you gonna win, huh?"

"Heh...haha...hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"What's so funny?"

"You think you're sooo slick and how you think you've got this case in the bag. Well guess what you ignorant piece of shit! It won't be that easy!"

Nishinoya narrowed his eyes, his free hand shaking with anger at this point.

"What are you planning?"

That stupid smirk on Jiro's face was really getting on Noya's last nerve.

"That's for me to know now and for you to find out in court!"

Jiro knew it would've been stupid to tell Nishinoya for 2 reasons. One being because Nishinoya could use that against him and even tell his lawyer about it. Two being there were cops around and they could easily be witnesses to his confession.

He also knew giving out too much information was how he ended up here in the first place...no thanks to Nagai. He spent way too much time talking to Nishinoya during their first encounter and stupidly gave Tanaka his own personal life instead of trying to kill him. He wasn't going to make that mistake again.

"No matter what you plan, you'll lose in the end," Nishinoya stated.

"Heh...we'll see about that you little libero. Are we done now? Did you get everything you need out of your system? I know you want to beat me up, but too bad that isn't happening."

"Whatever you say," Nishinoya rolled his eyes before hanging up the phone.

Jiro only smirked thought the glass as he too hung up the phone. Nishinoya got to his feet and turned and walked away. His officer noticed this and walked up to him.

"Finished?"

Nishinoya looked back towards Jiro before back at the officer.

"Yea...let's go," was all Nishinoya said as he started to walk towards the door.

Meanwhile, Jiro's officer took him back to his cell, where he was once again met by Nagai. As soon as the officer walked away, Nagai looked at Jiro, looking curious.

"So, who visit you?"

"Heh...it was that libero from Karasuno."

Nagai stood there, stunned to learn that the person he first attacked would come see him.

"Wait...are you serious?"

"Yup!"

"Sounds like this kid is braver than I am. I wouldn't want to see a person who attacked me."

"But he was scared to death and obviously pissed."

Nagai looked at Jiro, confused. "What do you mean?"

"I think the reason why he came to visit me was because he wanted to throw all his insults out before the trial. Plus he was trying not to shake even though it was obvious he was. He claims he's not scared of me, but I can see it in his eyes."

"You were trying to get into his head, didn't you?!"

"I wouldn't say that. I was simply speaking the truth to him. He's a pathetic, arrogant, and ignorant coward. He's known to be an amazing libero, but I honestly don't see it."

Nagai grunts, fighting the urge to punch Jiro in the face.

"I say you're the arrogant one," Nagai said as he slipped into his bed, hoping to not have another argument.

"Whatever. My point still stands."

Meanwhile, Nishinoya and the police officer once again met with Mr. Nishinoya, who stood up as soon as he saw them. He looked at the officer, before looking at his son.

"Did you tell him everything you wanted to tell him?"

Nishinoya gave out his usual joyful smile. "Yup! Basically told him to have fun at losing the case!"

"Haha! That's my boy!" he looked up at the officer.

"Thanks so much again."

She smiled. "It was no problem at all. Have a nice day."

She waves as she walked away.

"Well Yuu, you ready to head back home?"

"Yup! Let's go!"

The father and son walked out of the police department and started to make their way back home.

Nishinoya laid in his bed later that night, debating on rather or not to answer Tanaka's several messages asking about what happened at the jail. He knew if he didn't text him back, he would hear about it tomorrow. He wasn't sure if the others knew, but just by looking at the text messages from Tanaka, and the lack of the topic in the group chat with the team, he had a feeling Tanaka kept quiet about it. He glanced at the last message sent from Tanaka.

"Come on man...answer me! Just tell me how it went!"-Tanaka, 11:33pm

It's been about 10 minutes since that message was sent. With a sigh, Nishinoya texted back.

"Sorry, my mom wanted me for something and I didn't get to respond back until now...everything went fine at the jail so you don't have to worry about it"

Nishinoya then tossed his phone aside and stared at the ceiling, trying to process everything that happened during that conversation. Everything that was said on both ends were equally as harsh. Noya turned to his side, still thinking of that conversation.

"Perhaps sleep will help," Noya thought.

Noya stayed awake for about a half an hour more before he drifted off to sleep.

A/N: annnnnnd that's it. Ok, I'm gonna be honest. It hurt me to write horrible things about my boi Noya, and I was actually getting angry at Jiro for saying those things about him even though I was the one writing it so hopefully I'm not the only one getting angry at my own character. And yay I found another spot to stick Nagai in the story (currently trying to low key figure out how his story will end). Also I figured Noya's father should have a spot in the story instead of his mother always being in every situation...I want it to seem realistic in terms of Noya's parents. One more thing, I plan to have the first day of the trial within chapter 9 or chapter 10, so please be patient a little while longer while I add and wrap up a few more things within the next few chapters. Annnnnyway, let me know what you guys think of this chapter and sny constructive criticism you might have and I'll see you guys in the next chapter! Buh bye!:)
