"Why does it have to be us?!" Yuki whined out as she put on a pair of casual shoes, while [name] was putting on a jacket as it was rather chilly outside. Aiyu was still putting on some shorts, whereas Aria, Naomi and Kyoko were already outside waiting.

"Apparently, because someone decided to play a prank on the boys, but ended up pranking the coach instead." [name] spoke as she pulled her hair out from beneath her jacket and flipped it back. Yuki then cringed slightly, as she knew clearly it was her fault. She had decided to replace the shampoos in the bathroom where the boys always used for their showers with purple paint.

"I'm sorry…" Yuki mumbled, and [name] then ruffled her hair hard and smiled.

"It's alright to have fun once in a while, and we sure could use a break. I'm pretty sure my dearest bed head will probably start ranting the moment we come back. After all, the coach did give us an hour and a half time off today, since he said we're improving tremendously." [name] spoke as she stepped out of the room, and all of a sudden she realised that it was extremely quiet. She then turned to look, and she realised her girls were staring at her with their eyes and mouth opened wide.

"Y-Y-Y-Your…" Kyoko stuttered out.

"D-D-Dearest…" Yuki and Aria stuttered out

"Bed head?!" Naomi and Aiyu yelled out, causing [name] to wince at their loud scream. [name] then looked at her girls and gave them a slight nod, and all of a sudden…

"ABOUT TIME ALREADY!" they all called out and hugged [name] tightly.

"When did it happen?!" Aiyu asked, wanting all the details.

"Last night." [name] spoke as they walked towards the entrance of the camp grounds. Then Kyoko had asked her if it was when he had dragged her out during dinnertime, which [name] nodded.

"Did you two kiss?!" Naomi asked, currently fangirling with Aiyu.

"Yes." [name] replied a short answer as they made their way out of the gate.

"Oh my god!" the girls squealed and then Kyoko nudged [name].

"So… Did you two do anything else, besides kissing?" Kyoko asked with a smirk on her face, and [name] knew that face oh to well. Her face then turned beet red, as she stuttered out.

"K-Kyoko!"


"C-Coach!" Kuroo stared in shock, trying his best to stifle his laugh while the other boys from his team as well as the other schools were laughing their ass out as they saw what had happened to Nekomata.

"Don't ask. It's all because of someone's girlfriend." Nekmata sighed as he took a look at his purple coloured hands. Kuroo then stiffened, seeming to think that it was [name] who had pulled a prank on the coach.

"I apologise on behalf of [name]!" Kuroo yelled and bowed down 90 degrees, startling the coach and everybody else. Then silence filled the cafeteria, and when Kuroo stood back up straight, he swore that he saw his coach looking extremely confuse at the moment.

"What are you talking about, idiot! It wasn't [name], it was Yu Yuki!" the coach snapped at Kuroo, causing him to flinch slightly, and also causing his team's Yuki to tensed up.

"Ah… So it wasn't [name]… Thank goodness…" he thought to himself, and all of a sudden he heard snickers behind him, and he turned to look that his team was snickering at him, including Kenma! He then tilted his head slightly, and gave them a confused look.

"About time you got together with her already!" Yaku called out and smacked Kuroo on the back.

"So, when did it happen?" Suga asked out of curiosity.

"Last night." Kuroo mumbled with a blush on his face.

"Eh, so did you guys kiss?" Tanaka asked, teasing him.

"Y-Yeah, we did…" he mumbled, face getting even redder.

"So… Did you guys do anything else?" his coach asked, and smirked. Kuroo knew that smirk oh too well, and his face went extremely redder, and Yaku swore that you can actually cook an egg on him since his face was hot.

"C-Coach!" Kuroo cried out, causing everybody to burst out laughing at the flustered bed head.

"Hey, hey, hey! Good morning!" Bokuto called out as he entered the cafeteria with his teammates. He then stopped in front of the coach and…

"HAHAHAHHAHA, NEKOMA HIGH HAS A PURPLE DINOSAUR. HAHAHAHAHHAHA." He burst out laughing, and he was immediately smacked hard on the back of his head by his beloved setter, Akaashi.

"Bokuto-san, you're just being rude and noisy early in the morning." Akaashi commented.

"I've got a question though." Tsukishima called out after he had taken a look throughout the cafeteria.

"Where is [name]-senpai and the others?"

"Oh, I sent them on a special errand after Yuki did this to me." The coach explained, and all of them just 'oh'-ed in response, trying their best to keep their laughter in, including Kenma and Akaashi.

"And I thought about giving her back her medications today after I forgot about it yesterday. Tch." Kuroo mumbled to himself as he went to get breakfast with his team.


"Ah, under the name of Nekomata Yasufumi, right?" the man at the meat store asked, which [name] nodded at. She didn't really like the smell of raw meat, and it was rather overwhelming, and she definitely felt sick in her stomach right now.

"Alright, give me a moment. But are you sure you girls are able to carry? They're kind of-." And Naomi immediately cut the man off by speaking up all of a sudden.

"Don't look down on us!" and she pouted, [name] laughed softly and ruffled her hair, apologising to the man as well.

"It's alright! Give me a moment and I'll get everything out for ya!" and the man left and turned into the storage room to get out the orders that Nekomata had placed.

"Mou, he was being mean!" Naomi whined and pout, and [name] just ruffled her hair more.

"Come on, don't take it to heart ya." [name] smiled softly, and Naomi just nodded, with the pout still on her face. The man was then seen entering and exiting the storage room a couple of times, and finally after the 6th time, he stopped.

"Alright, everything's out!" and [name] paid him with the money that Nekomata had passed to her, and the girls started to carry all the heavy boxes filled with meat out.

"Be careful alright!" the man called out.


"Yuki, are you alright?" [name] asked as she saw Yuki's hand slightly trembling when she was carrying the box of meat. [name] then didn't wait for an answer, and put her box down with ease, and then grabbing hold onto Yuki's box, taking it from her.

"Mine's lighter." [name] spoke and continued to walk down, not knowing that there is a major consequence coming right for her when she carried the heavier box of meat.

"I'm stronger!"

"No, I'm stronger!"

"Baka! I'm one of the wing spiker!"

"Idiot! I'm the libero!"

[name] then looked up and sighed as she saw the two idiots before her arguing; Kyoko and Naomi. She sighed with a soft smile on her face as they continued to argue.

"Let's ask [name] then! [name], which one of us is stronger?!" they both yelled out at the same time, causing [name] to stare in surprise and also paled slightly.

"Ah come on, all of you are strong alright." [name] called out as she lifted the heavy box higher. Not realising that the girls were staring at her in shock instead because…

.

.

.

She was the one carrying the 15kg box, while they all carried a 5kg.

"She's the strongest…" Kyoko mumbled, and Naomi nodded in agreement.

"Eh? Come on let's go!" [name] called out as she continued to walk, ushering her teammates to move.


"[name]-senpai! Look out!" [name] was busy talking to Aria about the tosses and spikes, and she didn't notice the oncoming bicycle. The bicycle made a quick turn, but it still hit [name] slightly on the right side of her, causing her to shift most of the box's weight onto her left side.

The cyclist just muttered some profanities as he regained his posture and balance, and started to ride off again.

"Hey!" Kyoko yelled out, but the cyclist sped down the pathway.

*Crack*

[name]'s eyes widened as she heard that very same crack she heard a few years ago. The very same crack that traumatised her. The very same crack to why she's going to stop volleyball after her graduation from High School.

"[name], are you alright?!" Naomi asked, and [name] could only nod with tears by the corners of her eyes, threatening to fall. Boy was she in a whole lot of pain, but she chose to keep quiet about it. She then started to walk once again as they were reaching the camp grounds.

They soon turned into the camp grounds, and were greeted by Nekomata and a few of the Nekoma High boys team boys. He then smiled, but did a cute pout at Yuki when he saw her, for he was still in his purple form, and everybody was trying their best to not burst out laughing.

"Welcome back! Come on boys, help them with the heavy stuffs. Put them into the cafeteria."

And the boys started to move. Kuroo quickly walked past the other girls and head straight for [name]. He then grabbed hold of the box, and his eyes widened at its' weight. He then looked down at [name]'s left hand, he noticed it was slightly bruised at the wrist bone, but he couldn't find words to speak out.

[name] then quickly bowed and mumbled a small 'thank you' to Kuroo, and pecked him lightly on the cheeks, before rushing into her sleeping room with the other girls to change into their sports attire, preparing for the training that awaits them.


[name] sighed as she sat cross-legged on the mattress and started to bandage her left hand and wrist tightly. She then stood up and did a few stretches, allowing her bones to pop some air bubbles. She then grabbed hold of her hair and tied it up in a messy bun, allowing a few strands of hair to fall down and cover the side of her face. She then got out her volleyball shoes and proceeded to walk out of the room as she was the only one left there.

Walking down the sheltered walkway, she was surprised to see a certain bed head leaning against a pillar, arms crossed and his eyes closed. She smiled and walked up to him, tiptoed and gave him a chaste kiss on his lips. She then felt strong arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her in. She looked up and saw Kuroo with his eyes opened, and a smirk on his face.

"I missed you." He whispered as he leaned down.

"I was just gone for an hour and a half, idiot." [name] rolled her eyes and pinched his sides hard so that he will let go of her, which he did. She then smirked as she saw he had pout, and turned to walk down the sheltered walkway, towards gymnasium number 3, where she knows the Karasuno team is waiting for both Kuroo and her.

Kuroo shook his head as he smirked and looked at her retreating figure. He then narrowed his eyes slightly as he noticed the bandaged left hand of hers, and he could only shake his head, without words coming out of his mouth. He then proceeded to jog, to catch up to her, and when he did, he placed his arm over her shoulders and continued to walk.


"Tsukki, nice serve!"

"Nice receive!"

"Left, left!"

"Hinata! I said don't act recklessly!" [name] called out and rubbed her temples. She enough Hinata rushed from his actual position to the right side of him almost immediately when the other team called out a left, leaving the center and right left with only one blocker each.

"Nice kill!"

"Ah, I'm so sorry!" Hinata cried out as he run his hands through his hair roughly. Kageyama then came up and kicked him in the butt hard, and the both of them got into a heated argument.

"Hinata you dumbass. Dumbass!"

"You're the only one who can't call me that!"

"Oi, the both of you stop-."

"DUMBASS!"

"BAKAGEYAMA!"

"Oi, don't ignore Daichi-san!"

[name] and Kuroo could only stare with dull looks at what was happening. This wasn't the first time that Hinata and Kageyama had gotten into an extremely childish argument. They then rolled their eyes as they saw the both of them throwing fists at each other, while the others were desperately trying to stop them.

"Oi, don't be an idiot!" Tanaka called out as he held back Kageyama.

"You too Hinata!" Suga cried out as he held back Hinata.

An angry mark was formed on [name]'s head as she continues to hear the both of them acting childishly. She then walked towards the whole group as Kuroo smirked, looking forward to what was going to happen before his eyes.

"Gah!"

"Ouch!"

And then it happened. [name] pulled both Hinata and Kageyama's ears and dragged them straight to the entrance of the gymnasium. The Karasuno team, coach, managers as well as teacher advisor could only watch with shock as they saw [name] pushing the duo right out of the door.

"Until the both of you stop your childish arguments, then you're not allowed to set foot into any trainings! And that means that you will be strip off your regular, and become bench players." [name] spoke in an extremely serious tone and slammed the door shut. She then walked towards the court again and then…

"CRAP!"

"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!"

Was heard from outside the gym, and she could only shake her head. She then stood in front of the rest of the Karasuno team and gave off a rather murderous aura around her. The team then paled, including the coach, teacher advisor and managers.

"We'll continue without them. Bed head over there and I will join Daichi's team." Which then everybody else got back into position, but there was one problem. Both Kuroo and [name] are middle blockers.

.

.

.

"I'll be the setter then." [name] called out and stood at the setter position. Kuroo however looked extremely worried, but he isn't really that good at tossing as well and he got into his middle blocker position.

"Alright, let's start!"

"Ennoshita, nice serve!"

"Nice receive!"

"Alright, alright!" [name] called out and tossed to Asahi, the exact ball that he spikes the best; a high toss that is slightly away from the net.

"Nice kill!"

"That was a nice toss, [name]!" Asahi stared in awe, and [name] could only smile and turned to beckon Tanaka to serve.

"Tanaka, nice serve!"

"Ah crap!" number 7 had accidentally hit it out of the court, and then Yamaguchi ran with all his might and dived to hit the ball back.

"Nice one!"

"Over, over!"

"Chance ball!"

And all of a sudden Tsukki, Asahi, Tanaka and Kuroo started to move at the same time, doing a synchronise attack. She then tossed the ball up and to Kuroo who was at the back.

"Nice one-touch!"

"Suga!" Ennoshita called out and Suga tossed the ball to him. [name] however managed to slow the momentum of the ball, and tossed the ball up.

"Nice one-touch!"

"Chance ball!"

And [name] looked and saw that Tsukki was about to jump. She then tossed the ball directly to Tsukki.

"Nice kill!"

"Break time." [name] called out and the boys rushed to either to grab their bottles and drink up, or to the washroom.

[name] walked towards the gymnasium entrance hall to check on the immature duos. She opened the door and noticed the duo was not in sight. She then turned to the right as she heard slight snoring, and she was kind of surprise to see that Hinata had his head leaning on Kageyama's shoulder, and Kageyama's head was on Hinata's head.

She then turned and beckoned the whole squad to come over, which they did so as quiet as possible, and immediately stared in shock at the sight before them.

"I didn't know they both roll that way." Tsukki commented, and Yamaguchi could only stifle a laugh.

"Oi." Kuroo called out, and [name] covered her mouth from laughing out loud as she was holding her phone out, recording a video of what was happening. The boys stirred, but didn't wake up at all, and Kuroo then spotted a bucket filled with water and he grabbed hold of it.

*SPLASH*

The duo immediately woke up, and everybody burst out laughing at their shock yet sleepy looks on their faces.

"Break time is definitely over for you two, go dry up and come back in 10." [name] called out as she stopped the recording on her phone, and passed it to Suga for the rest of the team to see.

"Y-Yes!" and the duo ran off.


"Hey, hey, hey! [name]! Come help me with blocking eh!" Bokuto called out as [name] tried her best to hide behind Kuroo, but to no avail that she was actually caught before she could hide herself entirely. She sighed as she walked out from behind Kuroo and headed towards his direction with a slight pout.

"Tsukishima!" Bokuto yelled out and Tsukki immediately flinched and stopped what he was doing, which was trying his best to sneakily escape from Bokuto, but Akaashi just had to grab hold of him by the collar. Damn you Akaashi.

"Captain!" and [name] turned to look at the entrance of the gymnasium and was slightly surprised to see that Aiyu was standing there.

"What's up?"

"Coach wants to see you, he says it's urgent."

And with that, [name] didn't help Bokuto with the training, and headed out to meet her coach.


"Come in." Nekomata called out as soon as he heard the knock that he knows too well.

"You wanted to see me?" [name] called out as she shut the door behind her.

"Yes… I have some good news for you."

"What is it about?"

"I'm sorry if I don't have the privilege to know about your fractured hand and ankle, my dear. But apparently ever since you made your debut back in Seijō, there has been many sponsorships that you've rejected, and one of it was going overseas for college. I've spoken to them and I did tell them about your condition, which apparently they're extremely happy to help pay at least 70% of the surgery bills."

"W-What?"

"What I'm saying is, you'll be able to heal! You'll be able to continue your dream sport!"

"B-But… Going overseas… H-H-How many years?"

"5 years, my dear. It will fly past in no time."

"5 years…"

"You're worried about Tetsuro, aren't you?"

And [name] gave a slight nod. She was worried that Kuroo might want to tag along and study with her overseas, or he might not even let her go overseas for college as well. But she knew she loves volleyball, and she will do anything to continue her dreams. But being in a long distance relationship with Kuroo, will definitely break her confidence.

"Go talk to him about it instead of worrying about it." Nekomata patted her on the shoulder.


"Bed head…" [name] called out softly, but loud enough for Kuroo to hear. He then turned and quickly walked out of the gymnasium when Bokuto wasn't looking. He then stood before [name] and he definitely realised that she had a lot going on her mind.

He quickly pulled her into a tight hug and then guided her towards the grassy hills and then they both laid on their backs as they looked up to the night sky before them.

"What's wrong?" Kuroo asked.

"I… I don't know…"

"Sure you do…" Kuroo mumbled with a hint of sarcasm, and [name] could only smile at it.

"It's about… my fractures."

"What about them?"

"The coach knows about it. And he talked to the people who had given Seijō some sponsorships which include going overseas for college… He talked to them and they were happy to help pay 70% of my surgery bills…"

"But… You'll be gone for 5 years…"

"Yeah…"

"Can I go with you?"

"Can you?"

"True… I can't…"

"What are your plans though?"

"I was thinking of heading to work first."

"Oh… I see…"

"It's the best for her I guess. I can only support her decisions. But how I wish that I can be there for her during those 5 years…" Kuroo thought to himself as he wrapped his arms around [name]'s waist and pulled her towards his body. [name] snuggled into his warmth, and clutched onto his shirt tightly.

"Thank you…" [name] mumbled into his chest as Kuroo stroked her head affectionately.

"I'll be waiting, remember to come back to me; alright?" Kuroo spoke and kissed her forehead.

"I will."


[name] laid in bed with a tight feel on her chest. She hated how she was feeling. She decided to keep the overseas study a secret from everybody else, and pretended to act like everything was perfectly fine. Heck, she even told Aiyu that she will definitely come visit them when the year 3s have graduated.

She sat up looking at her teammates face with a sad look in her eyes. She will definitely miss them. She will definitely miss them to the point that it will hurt. She sighed and laid back down in bed and pulled her covers back onto her.

"Let's just… Make the remaining days be meaningful ones…" [name] thought to herself as she drifted off to a not so pleasant slumber.


Kuroo was wide awake in his bed. He couldn't stop thinking about [name] and knowing that she will be going away for five whole years. Five. Damn. Whole. Years. He doesn't want to be separated from her after all that they have gone through. But he knew jolly well that he doesn't have enough money to even buy a new pair of volleyball shoes. He sighed as he stared out at the window…

"Rooster head seems so distracted…

"Hey, hey, hey. He looks like he's about to break down."

"Did [name]-san broke up with him?"

"Maybe he did something wrong again…"

"I CAN CLEARLY HEAR YOU GUYS."


A/N: I'm so sorry for the late update, I've been extremely busy with school this week! And this chapter is kinda like crap. I'm so sorry! Please be patient with me as I'm trying to juggle between my studies and the updates!
