A/N: I am happy to present you guys with a new chapter! Yai! I'm also truly sorry about all the grammar mistakes and typos, I'll try to fix them. Actually to say the truth, anyone who would be interested to beta this story can contact me via PM - It's been a while since I've heard anything about my current beta so I'm not sure if they're coming back. You know, life happens! I would love it so much if someone could help me!
I thank you all for the reviews, favorites and follows! You guys are amazing! (!love hearts!)
chibi monsta: I'm trying to think of something to say, but I think I'll just let the chapter speak for me. :D
XxNEGATIVE0xX: I have to admit that indeed, I did see it as date myself! The person is not Natsu, but you're right about the mythical part ;) I will reveal the damsel in distress in the future! And thank you so much!
Kurage3 -Chiisaiuki: The fact that no one has recognized Hinata yet, is because they haven't met him as a boy... or if they have, they haven't paid much attention to him (like in Kageyama's case). If it was Nishinoya or Kenma, those two would immediately recognize their dear friend no matter how good his disguise was.
Antlersmoon18: Believe me, he won't take it easy...
AiMila: (realization) Why didn't I think of that... well, actually... I'm pretty much sure that death is currently so sensitive issue to Hinata that he doesn't even want mention it. Also he still thinks of returning to days of Hinata Shoyo when everything is done. Thank you so much! We'll find out who it is eventually!
FujoshiFic: Please don't let my fic be the reason you're failing! I need to keep on living T_T I thank you so much for leaving a review. I'm glad that I got the characters right, I'm writing while keeping in mind that they're older... also their pasts are different, so their character is also not completely the same as in the series. I hope that you keep on reading and enjoying this fic!^^
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 Twelve: Of School Days And Visitors
Saeko was sitting down in her studio while sipping a high brand fresh tea Kiyoko had prepared for her. The woman crossed her legs and put the tea cup down on the table while letting out a depressed sigh. She leaned her jaw on the palm of her hand looking outside at scene of people running right and left while trying find a shelter from the sudden downpour.
Kiyoko came from the walk-in kitchen with some homemade cookies in a basket and put it on the table. She first glanced at the melancholic Saeko then at the gray scenario outside after her eyes finally returned back to inside and locked on her friend. "Still worried about Shoyo-kun?" She wasn't sure when exactly it had happened, but during the training Kiyoko had started to call the boy by his first name.
Saeko glanced at Kiyoko and with a quick change of position she took hold of the tea cup. She looked down at it, staring right into the greenness. "You could say it." She kept a short pause to taste the tea. It was great. Kiyoko surely knew how to prepare green tea to Saeko's liking. "The boy obviously didn't take the news well. He seemed to be so excited about joining the team and being able to play volleyball." The woman sighed.
Kiyoko sat on the empty seat next to Saeko and poured some tea into a cup. She then took a bite from a cookie and looked outside. "From what I know, Shoyo-kun really loves volleyball. I feel like an evil antagonist for taking it away from him." She agreed with Saeko. Both knew it was for the best to keep Hinata's gender a secret, but at the same time they wished they could do something about it. The time was hard on the boy, so they hoped there could even one thing the boy could enjoy.
"I wish we could do something for him…" Saeko sighed loudly while finishing her tea. Kiyoko nodded lightly, and kept staring at the liquid in the cup. For a short moment the studio was filled with silence. Both of the women were thinking, what they could do to cheer up their pupil. He had become so dear to him, they wished to do something to keep him smiling. He was already going through so much.
Saeko's sigh broke the silence, only to return the atmosphere back to previous one.
Kiyoko finished her tea and took another cookie from the basket. Saeko finally took notice of the sweets and started to stuff them in one after another. By the time Kiyoko managed to finish her second cookie, Saeko had already gobbled the rest of them. The women stared at the now empty cookie basket.
A long and silent minute passed.
"I GOT IT!" All of a sudden, Saeko jumped from her seat and glanced at Kiyoko, her eyes sparkling. The woman looked like she had gotten the idea of her life, and that it was something that would change the world. "I know how we can help the brat!" She pulled Kiyoko closer and started explaining her magnificent plan.
"Yosh!" Hinata smiled proudly at the two bento-boxes before him and took off his apron. He was ready to head to school. Apparently Kageyama hadn't woken up yet, so the ginger placed the bento-box wrapped in dark bluish clothing on the kitchen table to wait for the raven. Along with it, he left a paper with a small message.
The ginger opened the door and headed out. He met Miharu at the front gate; the woman was sprinkling some salt over the gate. It was a ritual Kageyama had ordered her to do, or so the woman had told. Hinata greeted the houseworker and stepped into the car after she had wished him a good day.
In reality the ginger had planned going to school by foot, but Miharu had insisted that he'd take a car. She said that they could never know when people would hear that the heir of Kageyama had gotten married. People could be after his life so they couldn't allow the heirs' wife to wander off to school on her own. And so, Kageyama had hired another driver for Hinata.
When they arrived at the school's gate, Hinata got out of the car and headed towards the classroom. He met Emiko at the shoe lockers and the brunette's expression widened at the sight of him. "Natcchan!" And Hinata wondered when they had gone to the basis of calling each other by nicknames. The boys expression slowly turned into smile.
"Good morning." He greeted the girl and after they had changed their shoes to in-door ones, the duo headed towards their classroom. Michiyo and Kazuko had arrived earlier already, and were on their seats. They chatted happily – with Michiyo doing most of the talk, Kazuko just nodded from times to times – and called for Emiko and Hinata when the latter two entered the classroom.
The four of them shared a short chat, and Hinata took into notice that Michiyo seemed to be little out of it. She apparently spoke more than usually and her figure and aura seemed less confident. The ginger shook his head. What was he thinking about, he had just met the girl for the first time the day earlier. There's no way he could know what she was usually like, and how different she was acting now.
But only thing was sure; her eyes were red. It was clear that she had been crying.
"Class get into your seats!" They were suddenly interrupted, when the teacher walked into the classroom. Everyone in the class rushed to their seats and the class representative told everyone to sand up and bow. After that everyone sat down and the teacher started calling the students names to take the attendance.
"Aomine Amaya…" The teacher spoke in a manner that he wasn't even expecting for a reply. Surely one would, when the mentioned student hadn't come to school for over a week or so. He was already going to put absence mark next to her name, when a quiet voice finally spoke. "He-re…"
Everyone turned their heads towards the girl sitting in the last seat of the window row. Hinata was one of them too. The girl hadn't been in the school the other day, so he hadn't met her yet. He wanted to take a look at his classmate to know what kind person they were.
The girl was of a small and weak built. She was obviously smaller than Hinata, and her thin legs and arms where hidden under a few sizes too big blazer and track trousers. Her hair was unusual blue color – Hinata was sure it had to be dyed. It was reaching till her lower back and very messy, as if she hadn't bothered to comb it. Beneath her pointing bangs, she was wearing big and round glasses that obviously had gotten out of fashion over a decade ago.
Hinata could hear few of the male students snicker, but as the teacher gathered himself together and coughed, the class fell silent. "It's good to see you at school. I would like you to come with me to the teacher's office after class." The man told.
"Yes, sensei." The girl answered with weak voice, as if she was barely able to speak. She stared down at her desk and pulled her sleeves down, squeezing her palms into fist. Hinata found this behavior strange. Well, the whole girl seemed to be a strange one, so maybe he shouldn't mind it so much. The ginger sighed and turned his attention back to the teacher when he heard the name Kageyama Natsu being called.
After the class, Hinata was called to join Emiko and the other girls. He didn't refuse the offer; it somehow felt good that he had been accepted by the whole class and that he had friends within it. He noticed that Amaya left her seat as soon as the bell rang. As the girl walked towards the door, some of the students yelled at her, teasing and naming her, after what they laughed. The bluenette didn't seem to hear it all, and just walked past the students.
Hinata was getting curious.
"Excuse me," he suddenly spoke, and the girl trio he was accompanying turned their heads towards him. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but may I ask who this Aomine girl is? Why is everyone bad mouthing her?" His question came out of the woods for the girls. The trio glanced at each other, blinking their eyes few times and then turned back to Hinata.
"Why you ask?" Michiyo asked, confused of why Hinata asked the question. "First of all, she breaks the status quo, I can't even believe that she was even accept to this school with that bluish hair of her. She doesn't care about her appearance, she's a disgrace! Secondly, she rarely comes to school and when she does the little pest yells at others not to approach or touch her. What an awful child!" The girl stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Just those words were enough to confirm the weird feeling Hinata had had inside him. It was very obvious that the girl was an outcast. She was the same that he had been. The expression on Hinata's face fell. That was a heavy position to be in…
"Let's stop about that girl! I'm more interested in your relationship with Kageyama Tobio. Are you sure that you're not connected in anyway?" Emiko hurried to change the topic. Hinata jolted at her words and gulped down when he felt curious glances being directed at him. Not only the three girls, but almost the whole class was impatiently waiting for his answer.
"Of course not! The fact that we share a surname is pure coincidence. What does make you think we're connected anyway?" He laughed, and most of the girls that had their eyes set on Kageyama sighed of relief. The boy forced a smile on his face. Why the heck that smug bastard was so popular among the girls? What made him look so great in their eyes?
Emiko crossed her arms, still not satisfied. "First of all, Kageyama Tobio came searching for you at the end of school day. Secondly, some people saw you heading home together…" She kept a short pause and continued. "Can you after this still say that you're not connected in any way?"
Damn this girl was sharp! Where on earth did she get all those brains to even bother get things together? More over, where had she gotten all that information? Hinata was pretty sure that during that time, she had been with the girls' volleyball club. The ginger gulped loudly. He needed to think of something and fast. Otherwise he would make things worse for himself and the raven, who would surely end him if he was to hear the news.
"Well you see…" Hinata started. The mood in the classroom got cold. Everyone was waiting for him to continue. "I accidentally dropped my student ID card and he had picked it up. That's why he was searching for me. Also, I'm still new in the town, so I used the chance and asked if he could show me the way to the phone store as I needed to buy a new phone." The boy said, being surprised on how he had managed to come up with such lie. Half of the story he had taken from the one Kageyama had made up when speking with Isoya.
The mood was once again lightened, and most of the students returned back to their own topics. The girls didn't feel threatened; Hinata was just another girl (as they believed him to be) who didn't even seem to have any particular feelings towards Kageyama.
"I see…" Emiko closed her eyes and nodded off, showing that she had approved her explanation. Hinata sighed of relief. He was so glad that all the suspect had been taken off him. The last thing he needed was to have people stalk him after school, to ensure that he did not have any connection with the raven.
He had managed to fool them, and that was for the best. The ginger was glad. Yet, he somehow had the feeling that there could be one person who didn't believe him. After what she had been through the other day, he wasn't sure if she was to believe anything related to Kageyama. Hinata glanced at the orange haired girl.
That someone was Michiyo.
Kageyama sat down and took out the bento-box to enjoy the lunch. Finally, a break from work and he could have something to fill his empty stomach. He was about to take a bite when he heard a far too familiar voice speak. "Oh, it's rare to see you with obento. And this one isn't prepared by Miharu." Kageyama's father entered the dining area and sat on the seat opposite to his son, much to Kageyama's displease.
It was rare for Kageyama to eat in the dining hall, but it was even rarer to see his father - the boss of the company - pay a visit. Everyone around bowed down to greet the head of Kageyama family, and he smiled at them kindly. Kageyama found being the attraction of everyone's attention very annoying. His father was doing something unnecessary.
"It's my supposed wife who made it." The raven finally mumbled and took the first bite. His father's mouth dropped a little at his sons' honesty and then he grinned widely. "I see. Do you get along with Natsu?" He asked, his face full of grin. He was so happy that his son had married a woman. With the way Kageyama acted towards them, he had been afraid the boy would never find a wife.
Kageyama stopped his meal for a moment to answer his father. "To tell the truth, I have never met a girl who makes me so annoyed. She's the worst of the worsts." He kept a short pause, "I hope that you do remember our promise. I don't care what you're going to do with her but I wish not to see her in my house after I enroll to university." With those words Kageyama finished the left overs of his lunch and stood up.
The head of Kageyama family watched as his son left the cafeteria and smirked. "I'm not sure, what you have in mind… but mark my words, my dear son… As long as I live, the woman now named Kageyama Natsu will remain by your side." The man chuckled and then started to laugh like a maniac.
His smug laugh echoed in the cafeteria
(attracting even more attention than before).
It was already evening and Hinata was lying on the couch watching TV, waiting for Miharu to prepare the dinner. He had offered to help her, but the houseworker had insisted him to stay out of it and let her do the work; it was her job after all.
And so Hinata found himself in the living room, staring at the TV with blank expression. It wasn't like he really wanted to watch it; he had nothing better to do. He was tired of being shut in his room all day, and there was no way Miharu would let him go out at such hour, so close to dinner (and he didn't have anywhere particular to go, expect for Saeko's… but he didn't want to see the woman at the moment).
Hinata switched the channel and sighed when another cliche drama started playing. He closed his eyes and turned off the TV, throwing away the remote control. The teen stood up and was planning to head to his room when the doorbell rang all of a sudden. Out of a habit, he yelled "I'll open," and rushed towards the front door.
He opened the door and peeked out. When the person behind the door saw it being opened they smiled happily, but as soon as they saw Hinata their expression froze. They looked around, moving their head troubled and then asked. "Is this the Kageyama residence?" It was as if they weren't sure if they had gotten the right house.
"Yes," Hinata answered, nodding his head. He noticed that the person looked aback and opened the door a little. Only now he realized that the man wasn't alone. He in fact did have a company. The trio stood silent, as if waiting for someone to break the ice. The ginger blinked his eyes few times and was about to speak when
"Natsu-sama! How many times I have told you not to open the door. It's my job; you cannot be what kind people are there! What if they're here to kill or kidnap you?" The woman scolded Hinata in worrisome manner which reminded Hinata of his mother. He smiled kindly and let the woman confirm that he was alright. Otherwise she wouldn't leave him alone.
When Miharu nodded with reassured look, she turned her attention towards the two men standing at their front door. "Yamaguchi-sama, Tsukishima-sama!" she let out a surprised cry and bowed. "Please do come in, I can't believe I let you two wait. Come in and wait in the living room, I call for Tobio-sama." Miharu let the duo in, took their overcoats and led them to the living room. As soon as the men were seated, she excused herself with a bow and headed upstairs to call her master.
Hinata sat down on the armchair opposite the duo and observed their characters carefully. The one called Tsukishima was a blonde guy with glasses; he could recognize the boy from the promotion match. So the guy with black, short and spiky-ish hair must be Yamaguchi. He was staring at the house with mouth open, moving his head from side to side. It was obvious that the boy was in amaze.
Hinata snapped out of it, when he suddenly felt strong stare piercing right through him. He turned to Tsukishima and realized that the blonde had narrowed his eyebrows and was staring at him with a deathly glare. The ginger backed off and gulped loudly. He felt as sweat started to form to his forehead. He laughed desperately, praying for Kageyama to come soon and save him from the situation.
Soon, steps where heard from the staircase. The noise made Tsukishima to fix his glasses and the blonde turned his attention away from Hinata. The ginger sighed of relief for being able to keep his life; he had been so sure that Tsukishima would end him anytime soon if anything hadn't been done.
"Ah, Kageyama." Yamaguchi stood up to greet the raven, when he entered the living room. Miharu was closely behind her master, but soon returned to kitchen to complete the dinner. Kageyama glanced at Tsukishima and the duo shared a silent stare, after what both of them nodded. The raven walked to the armchair next to Hinata and sat down.
"I would like to ask how you found this place, but I feel like mother is involved in it, so I won't even bother." The raven started, remembering the conversation with Isoya. "What I do want to know is why you're here?" He continued.
Yamaguchi was the one to speak. "The truth is that we got into little trouble and would like to ask for your permission to stay at your place for a while." Kageyama's eyes widened and his mouth opened. With astonished look he could simply ask, "Why?"
"Well you see…" The brunette spoke, but shot uneasy glances at Hinata.
Kageyama got his hints and turned his eyes towards the ginger. "She's living her… for now… You don't have to mind her presence, she would find it out anyway, eventually." The ravens' 'for now' didn't pass unnoticed and Hinata shot at him a cold and hurtful glare. Kageyama tossed it off with a shrug and turned his attention back to Yamaguchi.
The brunette sighed, feeling little relieved. "The truth is…" He started once again, but was unable to continue. This time the fault wasn't Hinata's, he just couldn't settle down with his feelings and put them into words. Tsukishima sighed and finally his mouth moved for the first time after he had entered the house.
"We eloped."
A/N: I'm speechless. After working on Kageyama's profile for half a year, I suddenly had to work of three different plots and backstories, because I decided to advance Tsukki's and Yamaguchi's story earlier than orignally had planned. So for the past month I've been working on their profiles T_T
For those dear readers who do read my notes: This story is a Karasuno family fic. Each member is going to appear in this story and each member has an important role and are going to have their own stories and some even arcs. Also! There's one non-Karasuno member who is going to play very very very significant role in this story, but I leave it up to your imagination to guess who it is ;)
I have now spoken! Your thoughts of the chapter?
