Sakura Haruno, the number one female volleyball player of her generation. Countless trophies, countless titles, countless wins. She was known as the number one and as great as it was, it was also tiring. So when she was offered an opportunity to escape the eyes of the sports world and into a small training camp to help out other players, she was thrilled. For two whole weeks, she wouldn't be followed by the press! And she was going to finally make some friends with other volleyball players! Being number one was a lonely place after all.

"Sakura-san! Please hurry packing, we're leaving in an hour! I told you to pack yesterday!"

Sakura rolled her eyes at her worrying manager, "Stop yelling, would you. Jeez, I just need to make sure I have everything with me. Besides I'm just about finished, let me just make sure I have my essentials packed."

Her manager looked ready to cry, she was always giving him a hard time! "Please, Sakura-san! The bus will leave us if we aren't on time!"

"Then I'll drive there myself! Stop worrying, Yamato!"

...

Like her manager had predicted, they ended being late and left by the bus. By the time they had got there, there was a text sent to them with the directions and a half-assed apology.

"Oh don't worry, Yamato. It seems like we just get to spend even more time together!" Sakura laughed out and patted her poor manager on the back.

Yamato looked back at his young client with a dreading expression, "How great."

By the time they had arrived to the campsite, the sun was slowly falling asleep with the moon rising high above them.

"See you in two months, Yamato. Don't be too upset about me leaving, okay!" Sakura waved her manager goodbye as she grabbed the last of her suitcase. Her manager gave one last weak wave before making his way out of the camp.

Sakura watched him leave before she released a loud sigh, she looked over to where she would be helping the other high school volleyball players for the next two weeks, "It's now or never, Sakura."

She grabbed her suitcase, her bag and made her way to check in with who ever was in charge with the whole training camp.

…

It hadn't taken her long to find a male with glasses and short black hair who helped her with her bags and caught her up on what had happened before she had arrived.

"We're very happy to have you here, Miss Haruno! We were really surprised when you agreed to come and help us on such a short notice."

Sakura placed her bag down on the desk before she turned around a smile over to the older male, "Oh, it's no problem at all! If anything I should be thanking you, I get to help others with their passion and I get to get away from the press? I gladly take that anyday."

The male known at Ittetsu Takeda released a chuckle at the young female's response, "If you say so, Miss Haruno. Now if you would follow me, I can show you where some of the boys are practicing at right now. It's a little late out right now, but you can still get to know some of them before we start tomorrow."

"No problem at all, Mr. Ittetsu! I'd love to see where some of these boys are at skill-wise. Besides, I wouldn't mind getting a few games in before dinner."

Mr. Ittetsu nodded at her before leading the way to the gym where some of the boys would be playing.

Entering the gym, the sound of the volleyball smacking the the floor and walls greeted Sakura's ears causing her to smile. She peered at the people inside, a total of 12 people were on the court with a few others sitting on the bleachers watching them play.

Her entrance caused everyone to stop what they were doing and look at her, one had even been hit in the face by the ball because of her. Sakura's eyes widen as she made her way over to him, "Oh my gosh, are you okay?!"

The boy looked at the girl with a giant blush on his face with a bump forming on his head, "..I'm..fine.."

Sakura was taken back by his wild black and white hair along with his forming bump, "Are you sure, here let me see."

Sakura led the boy over to the bleachers, her hand holding his, making him blush even more. She sat him down and took a look at the bump, "We should get some ice on that-"

"No way, Bokuto gets to be held by the pretty lady! That's so unfair!"

Sakura turned her head to look at a short boy whining to a bald headed with tears in his eyes, "...pretty lady…?"

"Ugh! Life is so unfair to us, Yuu!"

"I know, Tanaka!"

The short one, Yuu, cried along with the baldy, Tanaka.

"Stop being so dramatic, you idiots. It's obvious that she's only worried about Bokuto cause he got hit by the ball. Besides if anything I'll be the one to end up holding her tonight." The male finished off his speech with a wink towards Sakura. Causing her to give a deadpanned look back at the bedhead haired male.

"Good luck with that, Pain-In-the-Ass Kuroo-san. Like Sakura Haruno would ever want to be in the same bed as someone like you." Another male came from behind him and snorted. He had messy black and the most straight and bored looking face ever.

"Why you-!"

Kuroo was about to after the younger boy but was stopped when he heard a laughter from behind him, "You guys are quite the bunch. You may already know me, but I'm Sakura Haruno and I'll be helping you guys out for the next two weeks, so be ready for me to put you all through hell!"

The next morning had arrived pretty quickly. The events from last night had caused Sakura to smile, "At least they're all pretty cute." She giggled to herself before she began to get ready for the day. Leaving the room to get her ready for the day she brought her bag that held her clothes to change into, she had bumped into a really tall form.

"Sorry about that!"

Sakura looked at to meet the eyes of her childhood friend, "Ushi-chan!"

The tall male looked down at the much shorter female with a raised brow, why was his childhood friend standing in the hallway with only a sports bra and shorts on? "Sakura? What are you doing here? And why are you out in the hallway in only a bra and shorts?"

Sakura looked down at her 'outfit' before she looked back up at Ushijima with a grin on her face, "Why? Are you jealous someone else will get to see me like this?"

Ushijima sighed out before he placed his jacket on her near naked form, "I just don't want you catching a cold or something. But what are you doing here?"

Sakura couldn't help her grin as Ushijima placed the jacket over her bare shoulders, "I'm going to be helping you boys out for the next two weeks on your skills and such. I met some of them last night and I can't help but think that you should ask me out before I go and snatch one of the other volleyball boys for myself."

Ushijima stared intently into her emerald orbs, "I wish you happiness with them, Sakura."

Sakura sighed in defeat as Ushijima made his way around her and kept on walking. She turned to him as he walked away, but before he could leave, Sakura gave one last shout, "You're so lame, Ushi-chan! You're gonna regret this day when you had the opportunity to get someone like me!"

Sakura pouted as he gave one last wave of his hand to single that he really didn't care. Huffing out, Sakura slid the door to the bathroom open and slammed it back closed, "That stupid, Ushijima! Ugh, why'd I'd ever-!"

"AHHH!"

Sakura looked up to see a male with his shirt off and a towel around his waist. He had black hair and the prettiest dark blue eyes Sakura had ever seen, "Oh, sorry about that."

The male's eyes remain wide as the female didn't leave the bathroom, even with him standing there nearly naked, "This is the male's bathroom, so if you could leave-"

Sakura tilted her head, "I know this is the male's bathroom."

"Then why are you in here." He glared at her.

"Well, I can't find the girl's bathroom and I didn't think anyone else would be in here at this time. Besides we can always have some fun if you like." Sakura smirked as she snaked her way over the poor boy. Of course she was joking, but she didn't think that the younger boy would blow up in pink.

Her eyes widen as he began to stutter out incoherent words, "I'm just kidding! Don't over think it kid!"

The black haired male didn't respond as he began to mutter even more. It made Sakura a bit scared, "Look, how about I just leave. It was a joke okay?"

Sakura gave the poor boy one last look before she left. It looked like she wasn't going to get to take a shower this morning.

Sighing out, Sakura made her way back into her room. Quickly changing into a pair of black spandex shorts, a black sports bra and a loose red shirt, Sakura placed her white trainers over her socks and made her way over the the table mirror. She placed her long hair into a high ponytail and made her way out with Ushijima's jacket over her body.

She was thankful, and a bit sad, that on her way over to the gym she had not meet anymore of the boys. She already had quite the morning with the incident in the bathroom and her quick meeting with Ushijima.

Entering the gym, Sakura's eyes lit up when she saw one of the most beautiful serves she had ever seen. It was powerful and perfectly timed, and the person to hit it wasn't so bad looking either.

"End game! We have a special announcement for you guys!" An older man called out from the bleachers, he stood up and walk the stand infront of all the volley players. The one's on the court quickly made their way over to the bleachers to listen to the old man.

The next to speak was a male in a red track suit with blonde hair, "We thought that since we're having a training camp that we get someone to help you guys out. Now some of you may have met her last night but for those of you who didn't please welcome the number one female volleyball player of your generation. Now you may be thinking why would we have the number one female player, well it's because-"

"I could probably still kick your ass," Sakura grinned as the males turned their heads to her, "I may be the number one female player but I'm pretty sure that if I was a guy I'd still place at number one. So for the next two weeks I'll be helping you guys on whatever I see that needs to be fixed. So please take care of me." Sakura sent a wink up at the boys causing a few of them to blush.

This was going to be the most interesting two weeks of her life.
