Chapter One

Yuna Sakurai's now a second year at Karasuno High. After a tiring day during their first week at school, she packed up her bags and headed towards the dedicated gym for boys' volleyball team. Her upperclassman and fellow team manager Kiyoko texted her earlier during the day to remind her of the after school practice. She was usually never this into your face about attending practices; this was usually her other upperclassmen's job. But this was the first day for some of the first years to join the team, so she couldn't skip.

The volleyball team hardly made an effort to advertise the club as other teams would. Normally after school clubs would bombard fresh blood to join their team during the first couple of weeks of term. This year was no different, the sports teams were literally fighting over first years to the point where some students were even scared to set foot outside their classrooms thanks to the judo and rugby clubs. The volleyball team was down to a small number of students, barely enough to make up a team, so Kiyoko and her tried their best trying to create small pamphlets for the teams to pass out when they could.

Yuna was running thirty minutes late to practice having had to stay behind for classroom duty, so she could already hear the sound of volleyballs hitting the floor as she got closer to the gym. Outside the closed door, she spotted two boys, both in the same ugly red gym uniform the school provided that always reminded her of baby onesies. The raven haired boy, and a lot shorter orange haired boy were both itching to step into the gym, but didn't.

"Is something wrong?" She questioned the boys curiously, bringing the attention they had on the gym door for the past 10 minutes onto her. "The boys' volleyball club is using the gym today. Is there anything I can help you two with?"

"That's okay!" The shorter boy's response came out a lot more high pitched than he intended it to be due to the unexpected interaction. Not only was the third year manager they met earlier super beautiful, but this girl in front of him was pretty too, but in a different way. While Shimizu had a mysterious, sophisticated aura of a veteran actress, Yuna had the aura of an approachable, teen idol. "W-we were told to wait outside."

"You got us kicked out, you idiot!" The taller boy shouted back, putting the full blame on his shorter companion.

"Well if Daichi kicked you two out, I guess you two better stay put here."

"Wait, I thought you were going help us!"

"Nope, too much hassle. Sorry!"

"What?" Ignoring the gobsmacked faces of the boys who initially thought they were grazed by the presence of an angel, she opened the sliding white door and walked in, coldly shutting it behind her.

"Sorry I'm late!" She announced loud enough for the whole gym to hear, before moving to stand beside her fellow manager.

Kiyoko expression lightened up as a small smile crept on her face serene face, "Good afternoon."

"Hey, sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything, we've got two boys standing outside staring at the door."

"Those two are two of the new first years joining us. Daichi told them to stand outside after they started arguing."

"So, they got bad blood? We are only a few days into the school year and they already made enemies."

"They have to settle their differences before they can join again."

"Daichi really is in spartan mode these days, isn't he?"

The sound of volleyballs being passed around stopped, and footsteps drew closer to the pair of girls standing side by side.

"What's this about me being in spartan mode?" There were a few frowns creasing Daichi's tanned forehead as he welcomed another one of the second year troublemakers. Tanaka and Nishinoya, who were stood behind Daichi showed bemused expressions at their fellow second year's misfortune.

"You're in spartan mode. You are the captain after all, so nothing wrong with that." Kiyoko added her unusual two cents to the situation, as Yuna ducked behind her, returning a snicker at the two second year students. Daichi felt as if he was doused in cold water that were Kiyoko's words.

"Kiyoko-saaan~" Ryuunosuke and Yu sighed dreamily at the older manager's reasoning, and not too soon after that Yuna added a sigh of her own. "Kiyoko-senpai~"

"Yuna, please not you too..."

"How come she gets to be on first name basis with Kiyoko-san?"

Daichi cleared his throat, snapping the three out of their own worlds. Sugawara, the vice-captain, stepped forward to take over for the captain.

"Now that both of our pretty managers are here, let me introduce you to them." He started off, ushering the two first years indoors to come forward. The shorter of the two boy had dark green hair and a youthful face of freckles and was above average height for boys his age. The blond, bespectacled boy was much taller, probably the tallest out of the team including the third years.

"You've already met Shimizu, and the manager who just joined us is Sakurai."

"Nice to meet you." Kiyoko was the first to introduce herself and timidly bow her head.

Yuna's response was much more chipper, probably due to the fact that she finally had underclassmen to take care of in her club. "Feel free to call me Yuna-senpai."

"Nice to meet you too, please take care of us senpai's," Yamaguchi's greeting was even more eager than hers. "My name's Tadashi Yamaguchi and I'm in Class 1-4. This is Kei Tsukishima, he's in the same class as me." His much taller friend just nodded in response.

"How cute, I finally have my very own underclassmen!" Yuna thought, when she proceeded to pat his head as if she were rewarding a small pup.

"Sakurai's observation skills are pretty good, so you might find her making notes during practice and approach you to discuss your progress. She's quite easy to approach, so feel free to ask her for guidance."

Daichi ushered the boys back to the court, and the newcomers were just about to follow obediently when they were stopped by Tanaka and Nishinoya who held them back by their shoulders.

"Don't go bothering Kiyoko-san."

"Always stay five meters away from her."

"Don't look her in the eyes when you speak to her."

"Don't speak to her."

"If you want to bother someone, bother Yuna!"

At Nishinoya's teasing words, Yuna raised her clipboard with a menacing look on her face.

"You two better run before I get arrested for assault!"

Ennoshita quitely came and guided the first years away. He heaved a long sigh.

"Those three do in no way represent us second years."

I'm not sure who I'll make the male romantic interest, I'll probably decide as I write more. BUUUUT I'm open to suggestions so I'll see who people would want as the love interest. (doesn't have to be a Karasuno member)
