~Cute girls~

Kageyama was a good person. Sure, he had flaws, but who was perfect? Yet, in this moment, Kageyama's mind was filled with thoughts that made him question himself, but, then again, anyone in this situation would probably fall victim to this, because this wasn't fair. Hinata's little sister, Natsu, was too cute for this world! Kageyama was seriously considering stuffing her into his bag and just making a run for it. Natsu was currently sitting on Kageyama's lap, while playing with his hair and Kageyama just let her, because how could he not? She had big, sparkling eyes, chubby cheeks and, just like her brother, brightly orange coloured hair with a life of its own.

"Kageyama-onii-chan, your hair is so soft!" She exclaimed and patted his head like he was a dog. "Also~" Natsu stood up besides him and lifted her hand above her head, comparing their heights, "You're almost taller than me, even though you're not standing! You're so cool, onii-chan! One day I wanna be as tall as you!"

"Really?" Kageyama said softly, "But then Hinata-chan-"

"Natsu!" She corrected him.

"Yes, sorry, Natsu-chan, you would be taller than your brother."

"Of course!" She shouted, while she jumped up into the air and stroke a pose as she landed, "Nii-chan is short, so I'll outgrow him!"

"There is no way I'll let you grow taller than me!" Hinata said while entering with a tray of tea and snacks, "Besides, Kageyama is here to study with me, so we can't play with you."

"Ehh? But I wanna play Kageyama-onii-chan!" She said as she flung herself around Kageyama, gripping him tightly, clearly not intending to let go.

"You can't! Besides, Kageyama isn't the playing type, he's like really serious, like this:" Hinata held his hair down to imitate Kageyama's hairstyle, squinted his eyes and made his voice really deep, "I am the best Volleyball player in Japan, no one can beat and my perfect tosses, I am just the best!"

"When did I ever say that!" Kageyama retorted and threw the nearest pillow at his face, Natsu still clinging on to him.

"You probably think it all the time, so what's the difference?" Hinata said, throwing the pillow back at him.

"I don't!"

"Well, either way, Natsu, get out of my room."

"Noooo! I wanna stay!" She cried and buried her head in Kageyama's shirt.

"Natsu!" Hinata hissed and grabbed her, trying to make her let go of Kageyama, but to no vain. "Alright then, if you don't want to let go, you leave me no choice, but to use my secret weapon!"

What?

"Ultimate tickle attack!"

The battle was brutal, devastating and ended in Hinata's overwhelming victory. Kageyama wasn't sure how to react to any of this.

"Sorry about that... Now let's study so we can go to Tokyo!"

All in all, Kageyama was surprised at how well he and Hinata had done that day considering that they were both pretty bad at school, but it also became pretty evident that if they were to actually pass all of their subjects, they would need a tutor. They had already (much against Kageyama's good will) asked Tsukishima for help, but getting about half an hour's help from a person who didn't like them, probably wasn't the most efficient way to improve their impressively low grades. And more importantly, all this studying was making Kageyama itch for playing Volley. The team still practised once a week, but morning practice had been cancelled to let players stay up a little longer to study, especially since four of their regulars were on the verge of failing at least half their subjects. Kageyama sighed. He just really wanted to play.

Kageyama reached his front door, after having spend the majority of the day with Hinata, but before he got to open it, it flew open and he was tackled to ground. Kageyama couldn't quite make out what had, literally, hit him, but he did notice the dark brown hair covering his face and hindering his eyesight.

"What the-?" Kageyama gasped, trying to blow the hair out of his, unable to use his hands as his arms were being strapped to his sides by this person, who seemed to be either hugging him to tightly or not using enough force to actually break his bones, either way it hurt.

"It hurts..." Kageyama tried, since he couldn't seem to muster enough strength to get this person of off him.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I just got so excited since I haven't seen you in forever!" The person said and immediately let go of him.

Kageyama looked at the girl currently sitting in front of him and he was slightly confused. The girl had come running from inside of his house and had said that she hadn't seen him in forever, clearly hinting that they had met before, but Kageyama couldn't for the life of him remember who this girl was. She had big brown eyes and long, curly hair. It was in fact so curly that if she had had short hair, it would probably have looked like a mane. She had darker skin than him, but it wasn't as dark as her hair, though it almost looked that way in the dark. She was wearing a short, sleeveless green dress, white skinny jeans and no shoes. Kageyama did not have to look twice to acknowledge that she was very pretty, but...

"Um... Who are you?" He asked, confused.

Needlessly to say, he got slapped pretty hard and he had a red hand print on his face the rest of the day.

"How rude! I came all this way to see you and you don't even remember me? I'm offended." She huffed, crossed her arms and turned her head like a pouting child.

There was a few seconds of awkward silence until she spoke again.

"Yamamoto Houjou," she said, turning her head back, "You better remember me now."

Yamamoto... Houjou. Of course he remembered her, but, boy, had she changed since they last saw each other, but then again, that was almost eight years back, so no wonder she looked differently.

"I didn't know you were coming here, you could have told me!" Kageyama said, annoyed, lightly hitting her sholder. He and Houjou were what you'd probably call mail-buddies. They were childhood friends, but after Houjou had moved to another town, they hadn't seen each other, but kept in contact via mail. However, since they never exchanged pictures, he had no idea how much she had changed.

"Kinda spontaneous and I wanted to surprise you," she smiled and helped him to his feet. She dragged him inside, "After dinner, you better give me all the gos, I want to know everything about your life, Tobio."

Kageyama wondered what his life had become and silently followed her inside.

Introducing Yamamoto Houjou, I hope you like her, but please feel free to say if you don't.
