Both Ukai and Takeda were there in less than ten minutes. Sawamura had run to get them from the school building, and when he said that there was an emergency involving Hinata, they had stopped what they were doing and raced over. Nishinoya had gone and gotten Shimizu and Yachi, so now the whole team was in the gym. Hinata was hidden inside of the equipment room with Tanaka because Sawamura had thought it best if they prepared the four that weren't there when it happened.

"So, where is Hinata? I thought there was an emergency." Ukai said, looking at the group of his students. He had rushed there; worried that Hinata may have gotten hurt. He was sure that Takeda felt the same, if the teachers' fidgeting had anything to say about it.

"Er, well, you see…. We don't really know what happened, but you all have to promise not to tell anyone about this." Sugawara said nervously, rubbing the back of his head. "It would be very bad if you did."

That just made Ukai more worried, his brows furrowed. "We would never do something if it wasn't the best for Hinata. Where is he?" Ukai asked.

Giving a sigh, Sawamura ran over to the equipment door and knocked on it. "Tanaka, Hinata, you guys can come out now!"

The door slowly opened, Tanaka peaking outside before disappearing again. They could hear some softly spoken words –which was rare when coming from Tanaka- before he walked out. He held someone in his hands, and the thing that was noticed first was the familiar bright orange hair that lay in fluffy locks.

"I thought Hinata only had a little sister, not a little brother." Takeda sensei more asked than stated, asking the question that popped into the other threes' heads.

"Yeah, he only has a sister." Tanaka said, drawing out the inevitable.

"So, is that his cousin or something?"

"Or something." Nishinoya said after popping out from behind Tanaka.

"Oh for the love of-, then who is this?" Ukai growled out. He was getting irritated from being toyed with.

Hinata got bored of sitting there, so he finally just yelled out the answer. "I am Hinata!"

There was a long, drawn out silence. Ukai gave a blank stare before he began to laugh. "That was a good one! Hinata must have family over, and they decided to do a prank! Right?" Ukai asked, his shoulders still shaking with laughter. When he saw that no one else was laughing, his own started to die away. "What… you can't be serious…is this actually Hinata?" His face paled as he leaned in to get a closer look. "What the hell happened to him?!"

"That's something that we are trying to find out, Ukai-sensei!" Nishinoya stated, stealing Hinata from Tanaka, getting a mumbled 'hey' from the older one. "That's why we need to talk to you and Takeda-sensei! We were wondering if you could possibly make a sudden training camp so that we could all stay with Hinata while we try to figure out what has happened!"

"That's a very smart idea, Nishinoya! I will go and send out emails that you will be stopping home to get some things for a sudden training camp! I will tell them that it is to form better bonds as a team." Takeda said, talking to himself as he walked out of the gym. He was still a little dazed from what was happening, so it never occurred to him that he should be more confused and maybe a little doubtful of the situation.

Hinata started to fidget nervously in Nishinoya's arms. He really had no clue why any of this was happening and he felt bad for making so much trouble for everyone. But he was very touched that his friends were doing so much to help him. It made his chest flutter with happiness, and he couldn't help but smile at the floor. He didn't know what he would have done without his teammates; his friends.

He looked up when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. Hinata was met with Shimizu giving him a small, gentle smile. "What is your favorite color, Hinata?" She asked in her quiet voice.

"Huh?" Hinata didn't understand why she was asking him that at a time like this. Did his favorite color really matter when everyone was wondering how to fix him?

"You can't continue to walk in clothes that are so large on you. I am going to go and grab something more fitting." She answered.

"Oh! I don't want you wasting money on me, Shimizu-chan!" Hinata said hastily, shaking his head back and forth. "I am fine; I can just wear my shirts like pajamas!"

"Do not worry about it; I won't spend too much if that makes you feel better." Shimizu reassured, smiling again at the fact that he was worried about being inconvenient. "I also received coupons for a store that I do not shop at, so I can use those."

"Well, if you really want to, then I guess that's okay. Just don't get too much! I really only need a pair of pants or something." Hinata said shyly, clenching one of his hands into Nishinoya's shirt. When Nishinoya noticed it, his chest puffed out with pride.

"I want to come with you! I think it would be fun to pick out clothes for him!" Yachi said excitedly. When she received a nod from Shimizu, she giggled and followed the older girl out of the gym. After the door closed behind them, and awkward silence grew. It stretched on for a few minutes before Hinata got annoyed with it.

"Why is everyone standing around like scarecrows?" He blurted out with crossed arms and pouting lips.

"Well this isn't exactly an everyday problem, dumbass." Kageyama growled. He had been silent since Sugawara had yelled at him. Not only did he not know what to say, he was just too shocked and confused. Normally he would be practicing and yelling, but Hinata had suddenly gone through a mysterious change. There were no clues as to why, and it was all so…weird. He had never heard of this happening before. There was no such thing as magic; he had never believed in fairytales as a child, so his logical brain just couldn't figure out what was going on. Why did Hinata turn into a child?

"Yeah, I know that, stupid!" Hinata yelled. He glared at Kageyama and stuck out his tongue afterwards, blowing a raspberry.

"Do you two really need to fight during something this serious?" Ukai said while pinching the bridge of his nose. "I really don't know what to think of all this. I guess we will just have to ride it out. I just don't know what to tell his parents when they receive calls telling them Hinata wasn't in class."

For some reason, Ukai mentioning school helped the reality of the situation sink in. Hinata was now in the body of a child. This meant that he couldn't talk to anyone he knew without risking the chance of that person spreading the word. They would have to be careful not to let people see him. Hinata started to look sad when he realized all of this. He wouldn't be able to see his family or go out during the weekend to do something fun. He was now going to have to hide somewhere, and not leave until they figured out how to reverse whatever happened to him. His shoulders slouched as he hid his face in Nishinoya's shoulder.

Nishinoya didn't know what to say, so he started to sway on his feet to help calm is teammate. Everyone started feeling the weight of the situation. Sugawara walked over to where Nishinoya was and started rubbing Hinata's back.

"Don't worry; we won't rest until we figure out how to fix this!" Sugawara looked around at everyone in the room. "Right, guys?" He gave a smile that made shivers go down spines. Everyone gave sounds of agreement, which seemed to calm the mother hen vibes for a bit. "Now, all of you go home and grab the things you will need. We will figure out where to go later."

The only ones left in the gym were Sawamura, Ukai and Hinata. They were stuck in another awkward silence, before a small sniffle broke it.

"Hinata," Ukai said while kneeling down to Hinata, he was standing on his own and rubbing his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I am really sorry for making so much trouble. I really don't know how this happened! I don't like it, I can't play volleyball with you guys anymore, and I can't see my friends in class!" His sniffles turned into small hiccup sounds, and he kept wiping away tears that he didn't want to let fall. "I don't want to be a bother to you guys…"

Sawamura kneeled down as well, placing his hand on Hinata's head. "Don't worry, we don't mind helping you. We all know that you would do the same for us, so just rely on your team. Okay?" He smiled at Hinata, now petting Hinata's hair. Hinata hesitated before smiling back, giving a small nod. "Good, now we should figure out where we are going to sleep."
