A/N: I'm so sorry for the long absence. December was hectic time for me, and the start of January wasn't any better as I moved to other town to study. On top all this, I kind of ended up having trouble to continue this story and had to push my way to write this chapter - a reason why the quality of this chapter might not be as good as in other chapters.
Hopefully all of you will enjoy the chapter. I'm also sorry for all the grammar mistakes this chapter has. (I would be glad if you guys could point them out, so that I can fix them).
Hinata and Kageyama are happily married. But trouble comes, as Hinata has to hide his gender from his husband. So Hinata becomes Kageyama Natsu. Also, his new high school life is full of action. He befriends with Aomine Amaya, who reminds Hinata of his pastself. Also you can add in a troublesome stalker and receiving a present from Kageyama... But wait... What happens when Kageyama finds out the truth? The truth of Hinata being a man.
Cry Of A Fallen Crow
Cry Ten: The Generation Of En Passant
Why hadn't he realized it earlier?
It all made sense to him now.
Everything was clear. Before him, on the court, was standing the blue-eyed and black-haired setter of Teikoku Gakuen, that Kageyama Tobio. Hinata should've recognize him, after all he had met the setter in person and even had had the chance to play against this legend.
His husband's name and surname were the same; Kageyama Tobio – he was even enrolling to the same school; Teikoku. Even his appearance was the same; black hair, blue eyes and the height of 190cm's – adding to that, the person was wearing his trademark glare.
All the pieces fit in.
Then how come he hadn't realized it earlier? How in the world he hadn't connected his husband to the setter of Teikoku? Hinata took a deep breath while closing his eyes. As he opened them while exhaling slowly, the boy got caught off guard at the scene opening before him.
It was all so bright and clear; as if a dark cloth covering his eyes has been removed, and for the first time in weeks Hinata was able to see clearly. The man standing before his eyes was his husband, the legendary setter of Teikoku, Kageyama Tobio.
The reality was harsh and hit him hard.
"Kageyama-chan, Kageyama-chan?" The orange-head snapped out of it, when he heard his name being called. With stiff movements the boy turned his head towards her and forced a smile on his face. His expression was priceless; his eyebrows were risen up and his eyeballs almost popped out from their orbit. On top of that his face was pale as snow and he was wearing a forced smile with his white teeth flashing brightly at the girl.
"You- okay?" Michiyo questioned, furrowing her eyebrows. She had never seen a person looking so freaked out. Was everything alright with this person?
"You look like you've seen a ghost!" Emiko waved her arms before Hinata's eyes to get the boys attention. She was at lost for what to do. For the first 10 minutes of the match, the orange-head had stood still and stared straight ahead without even blinking his eyes. What caught Hinata so off guard?
Hinata forced his smile even wider and nodded rapidly. He tried to reassure him and the two girls that he was alright. There was nothing shocking about finding out that your supposed husband is not only a heir of wealthy family, but the most renowned person of the high school volleyball.
A chuckle was heard.
It was followed by resonating giggles until the person burst into laughter.
"Haha, ehehe haa HAA!" The person was literally laughing their ass off, making everyone around them flash curious yet piqued glances at them. Hinata could hear as slowly the girls around them started to whisper around and nod in agreement. It was the habit of human being and the fact didn't change even in Teikoku. All people were the same.
"Huu-u, Huu-u." The stranger finally calmed down and breathed loudly in and out to catch their breath. They whipped away the tears of joy from the corners of their eyes and then smiled loudly. Michiyo raised her eyebrow, while a wide smile appeared on Emiko's face.
"Hotaru-senpai!" Emiko sounded far too surprised for a person who obvious had recognized the person. Maybe it was her way of acting formal, or she was just playing oblivious. The said person glanced at the black-head and smiled widely.
"It's Captain, not Hotaru-senpai, Emiko-kun." She corrected the first year student with slightly playful tone. Hinata turned towards the person and realized that – in a fact – it was a girl.
The girl had straight dark brown hair and parting on the right side, and her eyes were the same hue as her hair. She was as tall as Hinata, had a slightly tanned skin with athletic body and slightly curvy bust. In many ways he looked pretty much like a standard person, having no make up and very simple hair-cut, but Hinata found this fact beautiful. She somehow reminded him of his mother.
Hinata's heart skipped a beat at the thought of his mother. His parents, how were they? Did they get the money needed; had his father managed to save the company? Were they happy?
Hinata wanted to meet them.
The brown-head moved, making a slightly painful expression when she dumped into one of the audience. Hinata checked her from head to toes and realized that she had her leg on plaster cast and was using crutches to move around. It must be an injury from a match; Hinata thought, having understood from the conversation that the brunette was the captain of the volleyball club.
"You've come to watch the game too?" Emiko questioned from her senior who had been just named as the new captain of the girls volleyball club. Sadly she had been injured in the finals and was unable to join the practice for two months. For that reason, she also couldn't join the team for the Promotion match.
"That guy kept begging me to, so I had no other choice but to agree. Also, I'm still not able to play, so cheering is the best I can do at the moment." Hotaru showed a daring smile, when she remembered the guy coming all the way to her front door and beg her to come and watch the boy's match. Sometimes he went so much overboard. "What about you? How's your leg?"
Emiko glanced at her right leg which she had sprained due to over training and chuckled. "I'm able to join the training next week." Thankfully the sprain was found out soon and she was only forbidden to join the practice for a week time.
Hotaru looked relieved to know that. They were in trouble for having two of their players injured, and this was affecting the groups morale and the effectiveness of practice. "Good. I will join you guys in spring break." She assured, hoping inside that they would have more members joining them in spring break and at the start of new year.
The girls smiled at each other. Then Emiko glanced at Hinata, and all of a sudden jumped as if she had remembered something. "Ah, right. We will have new member joining us." She told to Hotaru and then pushed Hinata over to the girl. "She's Kageyama Natsu, the girl transferred to our class today and it seems that she's been playing volleyball."
Hotaru let out a smile and pulled out her arm, putting all of her weight on her one leg and arm. "I'm Akiyama Hotaru, it's nice to meet you."
"Hi- Kageyama Sho-Natsu." The boy had trouble to remember his fake name and ended up screwing up his introduction. Arg! It was so embarrassing that he wanted to crawl under a rock.
Hotaru let out a light laugh. "Shonatsu. What a weird name."
"No, it's Natsu." Hinata was crying a lake of tears, cursing the very day for being so mean on him. First Kageyama and now this. What more could happen?
"Girls, stop chitchatting! You're missing the best part! Look!" The trio snapped out of it when their heard Michiyo's angry voice. It seemed that she was most likely the only one of them who had paid any attention to the match. Hinata checked the score board only to realize that it was already 15-7 for the third years.
Currently the ball was being spiked by the second-first year team, but Kunimi and Tsukishima managed to block it without much sweat ending up being a fly ball. Shibayama was already running after it, but Kageyama's vigorous yell interrupted him. He stayed in the back line, letting Matsuura get it while Kageyama headed towards the center of the court.
"Oh, isn't that?" Hotaru let out a surprised breath when she saw the ball being passed to Shibayama instead of Kageyama - who as setter usually got the second touch. The libero dashed forward and jumped just behind the attack line, tossing the ball to Kageyama, who then spiked it down on the second-first years count, obtaining a point for his team.
"Castling." Michiyo smirked, looking proud.
"Castling?" Hinata asked, not understanding the point. For him it looked like a regular setter-toss maybe by libero. Why it had to be named so weirdly?
"Yeah, the principal of this school is a chess maniac for him this looks like castling move used in chess." Emiko laughed. She sometimes wondered why people adopted into the weird namings' of the principal. He was just an old guy who started to mistake students for his children.
"You're new here so you don't know it... In volleyball, which the principal also loves, each position is named after chess pieces... Oh and, the third years are called the Generation Of En Passant. A weird name now isn't it." Hotaru chuckled. Hinata could only nod as an agreement. Why would anyone call them that? What did that even mean?
The trio then turned their attention back to the court where the rotation had gone to the point that Shibayama was going out and Haiba came into the court. The serve was currently for the third years and it was Kageyama who was standing behind the backline. He bounced the ball few times to get a touch of it and after the whistle threw it up and took a multistep approach and jumped, hitting it hard with palm of his hand.
Once the game was resumed, Hotaru pointed at the white-head who was wearing the captain band. "The captain of the third year team is that albino wing spiker - though here in Teikoku we tend to call them Bishops." She corrected herself, bringing out the first nickname for the players. "His name is Matsuura Masato. He's kind in person, but strict when it comes to practice and volleyball. Mostly likely the only person who would be able to keep a team like this together."
The boys wearing a pretty simple white uniforms with black text ran after the volleyball, keeping it high in the air while tossing and passing it forward. The ball flew from one side of the court to other until it finally landed on the third years side after a strong strike made by the second year captain.
As the second year player served the ball, Emiko then pointed at a boy with short and straight brown-hair who was looking as if he had just been woken up from a great dream and was super pissed off.
"The other Bishop is that very pissed yet lazy looking guy out there. He's Kunimi Akira, and well... he's little bit of a weirdo. It is said that he's smart and has excelled game sense, but he rarely seems to show whole 100% of it. It such a shame." Emiko sighed. She knew that the third years were all best of their year, but somehow it was disappointing that they didn't show all of what they got. "Yet, he's still very strong. I don't even want to know what kind of monster he would be once he reveals his full power."
Third years made a point and got their serve back. They rotated their positions and Shibayama was moved off court whereas Tsukishima came in. Emiko then pointed at the blonde, who was walking to his position.
"The tall guy with short blonde hair and glasses is Tsukishima Kei. He's middle blocker - or Rook as we tend to call them." The second nickname came out, and Hinata started to wonder why the positions were named in such names. "In many ways he gives same kind of feeling like Kunimi, which makes it impossible to know what he's thinking about. Though, this mysterious personality gets him whole bunch of girls fangirling over him. Tsukishima is a monster, and has strong rivalry against Kageyama. It appears that they have been in the same team since elementary school."
Hotaru laughed at the explanation of her junior and then pointed at the gray-head who was yelling loudly and jumping after the ball with slightly clumsy movements. Yet, he was able to keep up after the ball, earning a point for his team.
"The other Rook is Haiba Lev, the guy second tallest guy with gray hair. He's half Russian. He's kind of hard to control with his passionate yet childish personality. His height and mobility are his most dangerous weapons. Out of the guys in the right side of the court, he has the most less of experience, he started volleyball in high school."
During the next ball the second-first year team managed to get a point back, which made the third years to switch their libero to the court. The girls both showed a soft smile at the small guy, who ran into his position while cheering his teammates.
"Then is the Castle, the libero Shibayama Yuuki. He's the only person who is shorter than 180cm, but still he made his way in into the regular line up. His powers are to be noted though, and his team work is one of the most excellent one. He get's along with everyone on the team, even outside the practice. He even can work well with Kageyama." Emiko explained.
Hotaru was about to talk about the setter, but all of a sudden Michiyo barged her way in and started to speak. "Kageyama Tobio, The King, The Setter. He's been called the King since the spring of his first year, being the longest King active." She showed a smug smirk and continued. "He's a rude hot-head with passion only for volleyball. He's always been aiming for perfection because of what some people have even quit the team, for they weren't able to co-operate with him. He's a hard nut to crack."
Her comment left the other two dumbfounded for a moment, but they made a fast recovery by shaking their heads. After that there was only one person left. Emiko glanced at Hotaru, waiting for words and when the girl just nodded, she spoke.
"And then there's the Queen, Kageyama's most worthy partner, the ace of the team and wing spiker. He's the tallest blond, Isoya Noyuki. Isoya's parents are from America, but they've been working for so long in Japan, they have changed their family name into Japanese one. He's the true monster of the team, during practices he's mostly cheerful and childish, but once he steps into the count during a real match, the devil is out."
"He makes me want to smack him." Hotaru added to this.
Hinata was amazed about the team. Of course he knew about it, they were national champions, but still seeing them before his very eyes made them looked even bigger and stronger. The more he heard about them, he more he wanted to have a chance to play with such awesome people.
He wanted to play!
"Oh, it's already the match point." Michiyo stated, realizing that the score board was showing 24 points for the third years.
The serve was back to third years and it was Matsuura's turn to serve. "This set goes to third years." Hotaru suddenly said, receiving three pair of confused eyes. "Matsuura's trump card is his topspin serve which is one of the strongest and fastest in the region. He will surely use it to score the last point."
Just like Hotaru predicted, Matsuura used topspin serve and served an ace obtaining the last and winning point for the third years. The first set of the game went to third years with the score of 25-15.
Kageyama bounced the ball of the floor few times and prepared himself for the jump serve. The ball went in well direction, but the serve was too weak and was easily received by the first year libero. The second years made an attack, but it was stopped by Kunimi-Tsukishima wall.
The ball fell on the second-first year side of the court.
A whistle was heard.
It was the end of the set and the game.
Third years had won the second set as well.
The match was over.
A silence filled the whole hall, until some claps were heard. This quickly escalated into loud cheering and clapping and the two teams gathered on the black lines and bowed. The second years cried out loud while hugging each other. They were down, of course, they had just lost a match against their seniors; their paragons, who were to graduate.
This was their last time they played against and with their seniors. And now the match was over. It was frustrating, the second years were full of regret; they wanted to spend more time with their seniors; they wanted to learn more from them. They wanted to become like them.
The third years smiled lightly at their juniors crying, each of them feeling more or less nostalgic about it. Just a year ago, they had been in the second years shoes - even if they had won the Graduation match, they still felt the same kind of regret and agony. Isoya, Shibayama and Haiba were crying their eyes out, while Kunimi, Tsukishima and Kageyama looked like complete stone faces without any feelings of compassion.
Matsuura, who stood between the latter two members sobbed loudly and when Kageyama glanced at him, the raven saw the white-head crying a river of tears. "I'm not crying, no! There's no way I'm crying!" He tried to assure him and the others, much to his own ward.
"Get hold of yourself, Captain." Kunimi spoke and placed his arm on Matsuura's shoulder. "The second years are ready."
Matsuura and the rest of third years dried their eyes, preparing themselves for the second years' speech. The new captain, Suzuki Hiroshi took a step ahead and bowed deeply at first. He then stood up and spoke in serious tone while staring at his seniors.
"Everyone, I thank you for sticking with us all the way till the end of spring tournament. You can't even imagine what an honor it has been to all of us to have a chance to play with you. We're in your depth and I'm not sure if we can ever repay it," the captain took a short break to catch his breath. "We might not be as strong team as you are, but we will do our best."
"Thank you!" The captain said and bowed deep.
"Thank you!" Everyone followed his example and bowed deep.
Matsuura was tearing up, his lower lip started to tremble. He was about to speak in cracking voice, but was stopped when Isoya smacked his back.
"Come on captain, get a grip. They're all waiting for your words." The blonde told while smiling widely. Matsuura took a deep breath and swallowed his tears away. After that his expression got serious as he coughed loudly.
"I'm so glad to have had each one of you under my care. During the year I have been harsh on you, but you guys never complained and you lasted through all the rough training. Still, why are you looking down on yourselves? You guys are strong; you have lasted the hellish training. Be proud of yourself." Matsuura spoke, putting shivers down the second years' backs.
His eyes started flaming. "Don't know how to repay us? Go and beat the hell out of the other teams and protect our tittle!" Matsuura pushed his first high up in the air, getting heated up by his own words. The rest of the third years smiled.
The second years cheered loudly, pumping up. The whole team of Teikoku boys volleyball gathered up on a circle and yelled loudly.
Hinata and the rest of the girls watched from the cheering stands as the team was gathering together. As time passed by the hall emptied. The boy realized that most of the girls who had just stood on the cheer stands, had now gathered before the main entrance of the gymnasium. They were pushing each other, wanting to make a way in. The managers were there, trying to keep the situation calm.
"What's going on?" The boy wondered, never have witnessed such scene before. Emiko glanced at the entrance, where the managers had put out boxes with each of them having the name of the member written on it.
"Ah, it's the parting ceremony." Hotaru told, staring at the girl who desperately tried to get past the managers so that they could had over the present to their idol personally. "Every year after the boys graduation match the girls give presents to their beloved seniors who are graduating. It has always been a chaotic and famous scene, but this year there are even more girls than usually – mostly due to Isoya's and Kageyama's influence. You can't even imagine how many fangirls those two have." She explained to the orange-head.
Emiko glanced at the girl. "How about you, captain? Are you going to give a present to Isoya-senpai?"
Hotaru froze at that question. She stared at the smirking Emiko as her face slowly started to redden. Emiko let out a light laugh, which brought Hotaru back to the girl. Her embarrassment faded off, and the girl coughed loudly. Filled with anger, she put her weight on the crutches.
"Let's go. We need to meet rest of the team and cheer up for them." Hotaru ran away from the question by changing the topic. She made her way towards the exit. Emiko pursued her lips for Hotaru acting so boring, but followed her captain. Hinata, not wanting to be left alone, followed the girls.
"By the way, where's Michiyo?" He wondered as he hadn't seen the orange-head since the end of the match. It was as if she had disappeared all of a sudden.
"Oh, she's probably giving out her present." Emiko shrugged, not paying much attention to it.
Hinata fell into deep thoughts. If she was going to give a present to someone, it meant that she had crush on someone on the team. Who exactly, he wondered?
The trio headed down towards the main entrance. When they were down, they saw the entrance flooding with girls, pushing each other while going in and out. Hotaru took a deep breath and gathered herself together. After that she started moving her crutches and headed towards the pack. Emiko and Hinata followed her closely as Hotaru pushed her way through the mass.
They heard loads of complains and shouts towards Hotaru for running past them. Hinata was extremely surprised to hear colorful words being thrown at Hotaru. The brown-head didn't mind swears, just pushed her way past the angry fans.
When she heard someone calling her bitch, though, she suddenly stopped at that very place, making Emiko almost crash on her. Hotaru furrowed her eyebrows and glared at the people around her, trying to find the person who had just called her bitch.
Everyone around her was quiet.
Hotaru then humphed loudly and moved her crutches forward. When they had finally made their way past the flock, Emiko sighed of relief. Kou noticed the trio and walked to them.
"Akiyama-chan, nice to see you. Did you come to root for your team?"
Hotaru smirked. "But of course, a captain would always be there to back up her team," she kept a short pause. "But still someone actually dared to call me a bitch!"
"Don't be so hand on them, they're just childish fangirls." Kou flashed a honest, yet inferior smile, which made the girl around them glare at them.
"Captain!" A voice called for the brown-head. When Hotaru turned towards the caller, she saw a blond girl with freckles running towards her.
"Nobuko." Hotaru smiled and walked towards the girl. "How's the team been?"
The girl, whose brown hair was curly to the point Hinata didn't know where it ends were, smiled widely. "We've been hanging on… but you should really heal your leg and come back to the team."
Hinata was surprised at how tall the girl was. Even after being surrounded by tall boys, she didn't lose to their height or looked out of the place. She was most likely the tallest girl in the whole hall. Her skin tone was so light that she looked almost anemic.
"Same for you, Emiko-kun." Another voice spoke, as another girl walked to them. Her hair was raven colored and reached till her upper-back, but now she was wearing it on a high ponytail. The girl turned back and shouted to the boys who were behind them. "Isoya, your firefly is here."
As an immediate answer a tall boy came running towards them. "Hotaru-chan!" he smiled lovingly, like a small child. Hinata's eyes widened at the sight of the man two times as tall as him. He had always felt himself short compared to his classmates, but the people of this school were abnormally tall. And this person looked even taller when seeing up-close.
"My, my. Isn't it Nobu-kun. Congratulation on your win." Hotaru kept on a straight face even if the faint crimson could be seen covering her cheeks. Isoya laughed loudly at her words.
"But of course we would with when the team has the almighty me." He pointed at himself while laughing out in a proudly manner and boasting off about their win. Hotaru smiled lightly at this reaction; she should've guessed so much.
"So where is my present?"
Isoya's question caught Hotaru completely off guard. She turned towards the man and gulped loudly. Was he really expecting a present from her? "Wha- What present do you mean?" She tried to play it off by pretending to be oblivious to his question.
"A graduation present. Don't say that you don't have one prepared for me?" He looked almost disappointed, his big blue eyes tearing up while his lower lip started tremble. Hotaru almost had a heart attack of the sudden expression and did her best to keep herself together. She shouldn't fall for his tricks. She couldn't be too easy. "I do have it…"
Isoya's expression brightened after the words, to the point he was smiling like a sun. He let out a wide smile. "Well good then…" His words were interrupted by Hotaru.
"But I'm not giving it to you unless I get something in return."
The boy stared at the girl who looked death serious about her words. He titled his head a little, staring right into the girls eyes. "Oh… what do you want?"
Hotaru was going through a mental battle for keeping her composure together while talking to the man. Why the heck he had to be such cunning bastard and why she never act like herself when being around him. "Yo- sec- but-" her words were barely heard.
"What?" Isoya asked, leaning closer towards Hotaru. His breathing was already reaching her face, and the mixed scent of his shampoo and sweat was driving her crazy.
Hotaru took a deep breath to calm her nerves and then opened her eyes to stare right into Isoya's blue eyes. "Your second button. I will hand over the present to you, only if you promise to give in return your second button."
Isoya looked rather surprised of her sudden request, but smiled widely. "Okay."
"Girls! Get ready for your match!" A yell from the coach caught Hotaru's attention and she parted ways with Isoya. She made her way to her team and they gathered around her. Hotaru showed a wide smirk and encouraged each one of the team.
"Let's go." The team yelled in union.
The Promotion match of the female volleyball club started.
"Where is that girl?" Kageyama wandered around the first years building, cursing inside while trying to find a certain orange-head. The matches had finished and it was time for them to head home, but the girl was nowhere to be seen. He didn't even have her phone number so that he could've called Hinata.
Note to myself: Get that girls phone number.
He wanted to find the girl soon and get out of the school. His whole appearance in school made a huge commotion, so he bet that wandering in the first years floor would made him stand out even more.
"Eh, isn't that Kageyama-san?" A quiet question was heard.
Oh, perfect. Here it came.
"He looks so cool!"
Whisper.
"But what's he's doing here in the first years floor?"
Whisper.
Whisper.
Kageyama sighed. He needed to find the girl and fast. It seemed that finding her wouldn't be so easy, so he had no other choice but to ask someone. He walked to the class 1-B of advanced level which he remember to be Hinata's classroom and entered in.
The whole classroom fell silent at the realization of Kageyama's presence. It was as if they were too afraid to even breath with him in the same room. The raven scanned the room trying to find a person he could question.
Talking to a girl was out of option as they would be too excited and enchanted to even speak with him. So Kageyama searched the most decent looking guy and walked to him. "Excuse me, do you know where I would find Kageyama Natsu?" He asked formally and with slight smirk, trying not to scare the guy too much. He needed to be patient if he wanted to get answers.
After a few blink and silence far too long for Kageyama, the boy finally answered. "I haven't seen ever since Kaion-san kidnapped her to watch the volleyball match." The boy gulped loudly after the answer and sighed of relieve when Kageyama thanked him and walked out of the classroom.
When he was out the raven sighed. This was the worst. He wanted to leave the school as fast as possible, but the girl was happily wandering around the school, completely out of his reach. He really needed to get away before someone you approach him and...
"Excuse me, Kageyama-san. May I have a word with you?" A girl suddenly called out for him. Kageayama turned to the girl, forcing a smile (which ended up as a mixed up smirk and glare).
No, not this too.
Not now!
"Then we'll see you at practice tomorrow!" Emiko send off Hinata as the boy said that he was supposed to head towards classroom. It was already late and he needed to get to practice with Saeko and Kiyoko. "Yes."
The boy was humming happily while crossing the school yard between the gymnasium and the advanced students building. He was about to enter the building when he suddenly heard faint voices speaking. Curious, (and pretty much not thinking at all) he went to check what was happening.
He peeked a little and saw a faint figures of a girl and a boy. The boy sighed; this was the all so famous confession scene now wasn't it. The girl's back was facing him so he didn't recognize her from the orange-hair, but the tall boy with raven hair and glare looked somehow familia-...
"Kageyama-san... I- love you!"
A/N: What does Hinata think after witnessing a girl confessing her feelings to Kageyama? What is Kageyama's answer? Stay tuned as this will be all revealed in next chapter.
As for the term explanation for this chapter.
Promotion Match: Promotion in chess is a rule where a pawn that reaches the eight rank is changed into the players choise of queen, knight, rook or bishop. In Teikoku it's the farewell match of third years but also holds the symbolic meaning for having the second and first years (pawns) promoted into their next level inheriting the titles of of queen, king, rook, bishop and castle from the third years.
Castling: A move in chess where the player moves the king two squares towards a rook on the player's first rank and then moves the rook to the square over which the king crossed. The libero-toss behind the attack line was called castling by the principal due to having both king and rook (can also be called castle) switch places giving the setter chance to attack.
En Passant: Is a special pawn capture that can only occur immediately after a pawn moves two ranks forward from its starting postion, avoiding being capture by the enemy pawn having moved only one square ahead. The opponent captures the just-moved pawn "as it passes" the first square. The result is the same as when the pawn had been moved only one squeare and being captured by the enemy pawn.
Ranks: The nicknames or "ranks" are fixed on the positions. Setter who is the control tower of the game is called King, where as the most powerful wing spiker and the ace of the team receives the tittle of Queen - he's also the one who scores the most points. Rest of the wing spikers are named bishops where as the defensive middle blockers are called Rooks. The tittle of Castle (which is alternative way to call Rooks) is given to the regular libero of the team.
And think this was it. Do ask me if you have anymore questions. I see you all next month with new chapter. Till then.
