[name] woke up when she felt that heavy flow once again. She tried to get up but Kuroo had his arms wrapped around her waist tightly, and he was still snoring away. [name] felt uneasy about her period, and she turned to look at the clock which clearly shows that it was only 0423 in the morning. She tried to lift up Kuroo's arms, but hold on her just tightened even more.
"Don't go…" he mumbled out sleepily.
"Emergency…" [name] whispered, and Kuroo immediately let go of her waist. She then scurry to her feet and grabbed her ladies items and ran into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
[name] woke up one more time when her alarm rang, indicating that it was 9am in the morning. She turned and spread out her arms, and realised that the space beside her was empty. With a slight pout she sat up and looked around; no Kuroo in sight.
"We're only supposed to meet up with the others at 12pm…" [name] mumbled as she got off her bed and grabbed her jacket, wrapping it around herself. It was raining outside, and lightning were seen along with the clashes of thunders, causing [name] to tremble slightly.
She then left her room and walked down the stairs towards the living room calling out Kuroo.
"Bed head?"
"Yes? I'm in the kitchen!"
And with that [name] stood at the entrance of the kitchen and watched with amusement shown in her eyes. There right before her, stood her bed head, topless. She then walked up towards him and wrapped her arms around his body as he was facing the stove and cooking something.
"You're up early." [name] mumbled out as she nuzzled her face into the back of Kuroo.
"Well, seeing my girl getting irritated by her period, I believe I should be treating her like a queen until her period ends, no?"
"What… Only when I'm on my period… Geez. And I thought you love me."
"I'll treat you like a queen during your period, other than that you're my princess." And [name] couldn't help but giggle slightly at Kuroo's pick up line.
The doorbell rang all of a sudden, and [name] unwrapped her arms.
"Who could it be…" she wondered out loud and headed towards the door. She opened it and was greeted by the whole Nekoma High volleyball team, holding umbrellas.
"Good morning!" Taketora yelled out as he pulled Kyoko closer to him to avoid the rain, which [name] smirked at Kyoko's blushing face.
"Morning, come on in!"
"Woah, [name]-senpai, your house is beautiful!"
"I smell something delicious."
"Bed head is in the kitchen cooking."
"And, breakfast is ready!" he called out.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING!" the students from Nekoma High cheered as the girls volleyball team got onto the court to prepare for their warm ups, while the boys sat with the bleachers as their tournament was in the late afternoon.
"Today, you're all up against Date Tech." the coach called out, and the girls turned to look at their opponents who was at the other court.
"They have pretty tall players, but don't let that cause you to lose your confidence. Just play on!"
"YEAH!"
"You're all up against Nekoma High. You may not have heard of them before, but trust me, you do not want to look down on them; especially since they have Seijō's ex middle blocker. She's a troublesome one. Try to block her as much as you can."
"Yes!"
"Captains!" the referee called out.
"Alright, on court A we have the iron wall, Date Tech. As well as the recently debuted cats, Nekoma High! It seems that Nekoma High's captain used to be the middle blocker back in Seijō. Will we be able to see this match on fire or what?!"
"All the best." Both [name] and the captain of Date Tech called out as they shook hands.
The referee then tossed the coin, and it showed heads; Date Tech was going first.
[name] then went to inform the coach and ran up towards her teammates and started out their warm up.
"Make me proud girls. I have faith in you. We may not seem like the best, or play like the best. But as long as the ball hasn't drop, we play on!" [name] yelled as she brought the team together in a huddle.
"Nekoma… Fight!"
"BABE, FIGHTING!" Kuroo yelled out as the Nekoma High team stood in their positions on the court. [name] then turned and waved at Kuroo.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!" the chant went louder.
"GO, GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO DATEKO!"
And the ball was served.
"Nice receive, Naomi!"
"Captain!" Aria yelled out and tossed the ball to [name] and she did a quick spike, earning a point within less than a minute.
"NICE ONE!" the boys called out from the bleachers.
"Did you see that quick spike?!"
"No way!"
"Don't mind!" the captain of Date Tech called out.
"Yuki, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Center!"
And [name] immediately jumped up as soon as the opponent jumped up. She put strength into her finger tips in order to not allow herself to be blown off, and sure enough she did a solid block on that solid spike, killing it.
"NICE BLOCK!"
"Tch…" the opponent clicked her tongue as [name] turned her back against her.
"Yuki, one more nice serve!"
"Out!"
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Yuki cried out and [name] patted her on the back.
"Don't mind, don't mind!"
"Nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Left!" Aiyu called out, but Aria tossed to the right allowing Kyoko to slam down when no blockers were blocking her.
"Nice kill!"
"Match point!" the referee called out.
Nekoma High was leading with a score of 24-13, and Date Tech was getting demoralised by the minute.
"[name], nice serve!" and [name] decided to end it all within that one serve. She jumped and did a jump float serve, it went over the net and dropped just before the outline, earning a point.
"Nekoma High wins the first set!"
"Great job girls!" [name] called out as they headed towards the bench for their water bottles and 5 minutes break.
"Great job girls! Conquer the next set and you girls can rest more before your next match in the afternoon." The coach called out as he ruffled each of the girls head.
"Thank you, coach!"
"Number 1, number 1" and the blockers from the opponent team marked [name], leaving Aiyu wide opened to do a solid kill.
"Nice kill!"
And the score was 20-13, with Date Tech losing pretty badly to Nekoma High. The coach from the opponent's team called for a time out, and the girls soon rushed towards their respective benches to hydrate themselves once more.
"Good work girls, keep it up!"
"That captain is a pain in the neck; but just keep playing. We still have a trump card."
And then the coach had changed the formation of the starting set, and placed all the taller players in the front. As soon as the time out was up, they returned to their positions, and [name] could only stare at the players who were taller than her.
"Wow…" [name] mumbled out, and her teammates giggled at her cuteness.
"And they think that by putting the taller players in front, it will stop [name]." their coach mumbled out with a smirk on his face.
"Kyoko, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Left, left!"
And [name] went to block the right wing spiker as she saw the ball was being tossed to the other side. Despite them being taller than her, she jumped higher than before and slowed the ball's momentum.
"Nice one-touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Captain!" Aria yelled out, and [name] nodded. [name] ran fast towards the front, and the blockers quickly positioned themselves there. As she was about to jump, she ran to the right instead where no blockers were in sight and…
.
.
.
*SLAM*
"WOAH!"
"DID YOU SEE THAT?"
"THAT WAS INSANE!"
"NICE ONE!"
"Urgh, she's so annoying!" the blockers yelled out, and Nekoma High could only smirk.
"Match point!" the referee called out.
Nekoma High girls team was leading, with a score of 24-16.
"Let's end this in one shot, girls!" [name] called out.
"Yeah!"
"Aria, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Damn!"
"Don't mind, Aria! Let's play on!" [name] called out.
"Two blockers on the right!"
"Nice one-touch!"
"Come on, let's do this!" Naomi yelled out as she passed the ball to Aria.
"Captain! We're counting on you!"
And [name] spiked the ball that Aria tossed at her with all her might…
.
.
.
"Nekoma High wins!"
And the crowd went wild.
"Nice one babe!" Kuroo yelled out from the bleachers.
"Naomi, good job!" Yaku yelled out, and Naomi could only blush.
"KYOKO-SAN!" Taketora cheered, and [name] smirked at Kyoko's blushing face.
"Karasuno High, wins!" an announcement was made, and the boys team from Karasuno High went wild for the girls team.
"Ah, so we know who we're playing against next." [name] called out, and then she waved at Yui who was waving at her.
"On court A we have The Cats from Nekoma High versus The Iron Wall from Date Tech!"
[name] and the girls sat at the bleachers to watch the match between their school boys team against Date Tech's boys team. [name] then saw two tall players from Date Tech, one wearing the number one and the other wearing a number 7.
"Captains!"
"Let's play a good game." Kuroo shook the hand of Date Tech's captain; Kenji. And the referee tossed the coin, and it was tails; Nekoma High was going first.
"Ehhhhhh…. That big guy is the setter?" Aria called out and pointed to the opponent's court. The girls turned to look, and sure enough they saw number 7 was the setter.
"I heard he just joined recently." Kyoko commented as she leaned against the railing and waved at Taketora.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING!"
"GO, GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO DATEKO!"
"We're like the blood in our veins. We must flow without stopping. Keep the oxygen moving and your mind working." Kuroo spoke out loud enough.
"Nekoma… Fight!"
"BED HEAD! YOU SOUNDED LIKE AN IDIOT, BUT I STILL LOVE YOU. DO YOUR BEST!" [name] yelled out and Kuroo blushed and covered his face.
"Kenma, fighting!" Aiyu yelled out, and Kenma's face blushed.
"OI, DELINQUIT MOHAWK! DO YOUR BEST OR ELSE I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!" Kyoko yelled out.
"Yaku! Fighting!" Naomi cheered, and Yaku gave a thumbs up.
"Yamamoto, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
And the ball was tossed by the setter; number 7…
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" [name] yelled out.
The setter had tossed an extremely high ball, and he himself yelled out.
"Captain, I'm leaving it to you!"
"YOU IDIOT, THE BALL IS TOO HIGH! I DON'T DO WELL WITH HIGH BALLS!" Kenji yelled out as he positioned himself.
"Baka… He's not cut out to be a setter…" Naomi mumbled.
"Nice block, Kuroo!"
"NICE ONE!" the girls cheered as Kuroo blocked the spike.
"KANJI! I TOLD YOU NOT TO SET SO HIGH! I DON'T DO WELL WITH HIGH BALLS, I'M NOT AONE!"
"I-I-I'M SORRY!"
"Date Tech is in a pinch." [name] mumbled out as she sat back down onto her seat.
"Yamamoto, nice serve!"
"KANJI!"
It was a heated match between the boys from Nekoma High as well as the boys from Date Tech. The spikes from Nekoma High was most of the time blocked by the Iron Wall; Aone, and their setter kept messing up, giving free points to Nekoma High.
"Match point." The referee called out, and it was already the second set with Nekoma winning the first; and the current score now was 25-24.
"BED HEAD, END IT IN ONE SHOT!" [name] yelled out, and Kuroo nodded. He looked around and sure he spotted the setter at the back, he then smirked and the whistle blew, indicating that he has to serve.
Kuroo did a jump serve and it went straight to the setter, which he couldn't receive properly…
"Nekoma High wins!"
"NICE ONE!"
"GOOD JOB GUYS!"
"Alright, on court B where the volleyball girls team are competing with each other; we have the cats from Nekoma High, as well as the crows, from Karasuno High! It's the female version of the 'battle at the garbage dump' that we have all been anticipating for!"
"Let's not let our guards down alright!" [name] called out.
"Yes, captain!"
"Captains!"
"Good to see you again, Yui." [name] spoke up as she shook Yui's hand.
"A pleasure to see you again as well, [name]."
"Let's have a good match."
And Nekoma High was serving first.
"Make me proud girls. I have faith in you. We may not seem like the best, or play like the best. But as long as the ball hasn't drop, we play on!" [name] yelled as she brought the team together in a huddle.
"Nekoma… Fight!"
"Kyoko, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Center, center!"
"TWO BLOCKERS!" [name] yelled out, and Aria came to block with [name].
"FEINT!"
And Naomi dived for the ball just in the nick of time, sending it up.
"Alright!" Aria called out and was about to toss the ball when Kyoko, Yuki, [name] and Aiyu moved at the same time.
"Nice kill!" and Aria had tossed the ball to [name].
"Don't mind, don't mind!"
"Kyoko, one more nice serve!"
"AH I'M SORRY!" Kyoko's ball had just hit the net hard, just beside [name]'s head, startling her.
"Match point!" and Nekoma High was leading with a score of 24-18.
"Come on girls, don't give up hope yet!" Yui called out.
"[name], nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Left!"
"Block, block!"
"Nice one-touch!"
"Aiyu-senpai!"
"Nice one-touch!"
"Center!"
"Nice receive!"
"Yuki!"
"Nice one-touch!"
"Center!"
"Nice receive!"
And then Aria jumped up to do a jump toss, but it ended up being a dump…
.
.
.
"Nekoma High wins the first set!"
And the crowd went wild.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!" the chant went louder.
"MY GIRL IS THE BEST!" [name] heard a familiar voice shouting, and she turned to see that Kuroo was waving his hands like a maniac, and she couldn't help but turn to look at the other side and pretend that she doesn't know him.
"NAOMI, NICE PLAY!"
"KYOKO-SAN, YOU STILL SUCK!"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
"I SAID YOU STILL SU-." And Taketora was hit hard in the face by a water bottle.
"Yui, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Alright!" Aria called out and she tossed the ball to Kyoko, tossing a slightly high and a little further away from the net kind of toss, allowing Kyoko to be able to spike with all her might.
"Nice kill!"
"Yuki, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Number one, number one!"
"Nice one-touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Kyoko-senpai!"
"Nice receive!"
"Center!"
"TWO BLOCKERS!" [name] yelled out, and Kyoko ran towards her side and blocked Yui's spike.
"Nice block!"
"Don't mind, captain!"
"You're still not playing your full potential huh, [name]." Yui called out, and [name] could only cock her head one side with a confused look on her face.
"Match point!" and Nekoma High was leading with a score of 25-24.
"[name], nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
And number four was about to spike, and it went through Aria's block; [name] then ran forward from the backline and dived for the ball…
.
.
.
"Nekoma High wins!"
.
.
.
"[name]-senpai…?"
"CAPTAIN?!"
[name] laid on the floor, with her eyes shut tightly. Apparently when she dove for the ball, she didn't notice Aiyu diving for it as well, and they both slammed into each other hard, but Aiyu's shoulder had hit [name] hard in the face.
"Oi, they collided!" Taketora yelled out, and the boys from Nekoma High stared at what had happened.
"[name]!" Kuroo yelled out; but she didn't move.
"[name]-senpai!"
"[name]!"
"Urgh… My head hurts…" [name] mumbled out as she slowly opened her eyes.
"[name]-senpai/[name]/Captain!"
"D-Did we win?" [name] asked.
"We won. But are you alright?"
"I-I'm sorry, [name]-senpai!"
"It's okay Aiyu… I'm fine…" And all of a sudden [name] started to cough pretty badly, and she spat out blood.
"[NAME]!"
"Oh god, I look hideous…" [name] whined out as she looked at herself in the mirror of her own bathroom.
"Nah, you still look like the prettiest girl I've ever seen." Kuroo commented as he leaned against the door of the bathroom.
"Stop lying to me, bed head. Urgh… My head hurts…" and [name] turned to walk out of the door, pushing Kuroo out of the way and headed towards her bed.
"You should sleep now, you'll feel better after you wake up."
"But with this bruise on my forehead, I look like as if I got stamped by an inkpad!"
"Pft, take it as it's a marking of mine then. You belong to me."
"Oh shut up you, you and your stupid pickup lines. Urgh."
"You know you love me."
"And I wonder why too!"
"Maybe because I'm hot."
"Hah, please. Stop making me feel nausea."
"Are you pregnant?! Oh my god, am I going to be a father?!"
"BED HEAD!"
"I love you too~"
And Kuroo jumped into the bed with [name], wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck, falling asleep just like that.
"On court A, we have the girls from Nekoma High; as well as the girls from Fukurōdani Academy; it seems like Nekoma High's captain has recovered from the small accident yesterday, but… What's up with the-."
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!" [name] yelled out, and the announcer immediately shut his mouth.
[name] huffed and crossed her arms as she and her teammates walked towards the court to prepare for their warm ups.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!" the chant went louder, and the boys from Nekoma High volleyball team joined the chant as well.
"Captains!"
"Ah, you're the middle blocker Bokuto kept talking about…" the captain muttered; and [name] instantly doesn't like her attitude one bit.
"A pleasure to meet you then, let's play a good game."
"Yeah."
And Fukurōdani Academy was going to serve first.
"The captain from Nekoma High is a tricky one, don't let yourself get caught by her instinct, got it?"
"Yes!"
"Make me proud girls. I have faith in you. We may not seem like the best, or play like the best. But as long as the ball hasn't drop, we play on!" [name] yelled as she brought the team together in a huddle.
"Nekoma… Fight!"
"Two blockers!" the captain from Fukurōdani Academy yelled, and instantly one of her teammates came up beside her to block [name]'s spike. [name] then spotted a gap in between the captain's arms, but she clearly saw the libero positioned behind her.
"FEINT!"
"Damn it!"
And [name] had scored a point with the feint as the libero couldn't save it in time.
"Pesky." The captain muttered, and then it ended up with a heated glare argument between the two captains.
"Is it me, or is it them?"
"Probably the captain from Fukurōdani Academy is picking a fight with [name]-senpai."
"Ne, Kuroo. [name] is getting pissed off by that captain."
"I can clearly see that."
"Hey, hey, hey! Kuroo!" and Kuroo turned and was surprise to see that Bokuto had came with the rest of his team to watch the match.
"Hey, hey- What's going on?" Bokuto asked all of a sudden when he saw [name] and his friend glaring at each other.
"Your girl captain over there happen to step onto a mine." Kuroo commented as he leaned forward to get a better look.
"Don't think you're the best just because you're previously from Seijō."
"Don't assume that I think of myself that way then." [name] spat out.
"Well, it isn't an assumption; it's a fact. You think you're the best, when you're not."
"Hey, what's your problem with our captain?" Kyoko yelled out and stood beside [name].
"You got a problem with OUR captain?" the other team's libero came up.
"Kyoko, don't bother." [name] mumbled and pulled Kyoko away.
"Match point!" and Nekoma High was leading with a score of 24-23.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!"
"Aiyu, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Left, left!"
"Two blockers!" [name] yelled and Kyoko ran up beside her and blocked the spike.
"Nice block!"
"Nekoma High wins the first set!"
"Tch… You use your teammates like pawns." The captain mumbled, and Kyoko swore that she saw [name]'s blood vessel about to burst.
"What's your deal, lady?!" Kyoko yelled out as she pushed [name] back.
"Oh, hiding behind your pawns now?" the captain sneered.
.
.
.
"[NAME]!" Kyoko yelled out as [name] grabbed hold of the captain by her shirt. Everybody stared in shock at [name]'s sudden outburst, including the boys from Nekoma High.
"Get this straight, Captain." [name] emphasised on the title.
"I'll god damn appreciate if you wake up your damn mind from whatever fantasies you're having. I'm treating my teammates like pawns just because I yell out two blockers? Excuse me. Don't tell me that you don't call people out like that, because we all clearly know that it's a damn lie. You think that I think I'm the best? Sorry. This is volleyball, I'll never think that I'm the best. Volleyball is a damn team sports, and only the strongest TEAM stays. Not the strongest INDIVIDUAL. Got that?!"
"Babe…" Kuroo mumbled out….
"You have no god damn rights to insult my girl like that!" [name] yelled out as she pushed the guy away from Naomi. The guy had called Naomi a slut for she wore a tube that was exposing her bellybutton, and also a mini skirt.
"Get this straight, you no brain idiot. If I ever catch you insulting or advancing towards my girl, I swear to god you will never ever have to masturbate ever again, got it?!"
And Kuroo couldn't help but laugh his ass out at the threat that his girlfriend had sent towards the drunken man before them.
"[name], nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Left!"
"Nice one-touch!"
"Aria!" and Aria tossed the ball to Aiyu; tossing a slightly low and a little near to the net ball.
"Nice kill!"
"Nice toss!" Aiyu called out as she ruffled Aria's hair.
"[name], nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Right!"
"Nice receive!" and Aria had received the ball.
"Naomi!" [name] called out, and Naomi ran up towards the line and jumped; tossing the ball up.
"I gotcha!"
.
.
.
*SLAM*
"Nice kill, Aria!"
"Woo! That was a killer!"
"That's the first time I've ever seen you spike!"
"Nice kill!"
And the girls ruffled Aria's hair.
"Match point!" and Fukurōdani Academy was leading with a score of 25-24.
"Nice serve!"
"Nice receive, Naomi!"
"Aria!" [name] yelled out, and immediately the opponents' blockers came to block her, leaving Kyoko wide open to spike.
"Nice kill!"
"They're on par for the second set." Yaku commented as he watched Naomi doing squats.
"Stop staring at her ass already."
"Yuki, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Center!"
And [name] signalled to Naomi to stay behind her. Sure enough she blocked the correct spiker, but it managed to get through her block as she was pretty exhausted due to the lack of blood and food.
"Nice receive!"
"Captain!" and Aria tossed the insane quick toss which [name] smacked down just before the blockers could get to her.
"Yeah, nice kill!" [name] heard someone yell out, and she turned to look at the bleachers. All of a sudden the whole court was quiet as they looked at the sudden appearance of; Seijō's boys' team.
"[name]-chan!"
"Oh… My… God…" [name] mumbled out. Sure enough she saw Oikawa waving like an idiot beside Kuroo, and Iwaizumi just punched him in the back of the head. She then saw Hanamaki, Matsukawa, Kunimi, Kindaichi, Watari and Yahaba.
"Oi, you said you wanted to see her." Iwaizumi yelled out as he punched a boy with short-cropped blond hair with two stripes running down the sides of his head, just above the ears and his eyes are sharp and appear fierce and hostile, and he has small eyebrows.
"Tch."
"Ah? It's been a long time, mad dog!" [name] yelled out and waved. She then saw her junior having a light blush on his face as he bowed slightly.
"Did she just ignore Oikawa's call?"
"How rude of her!"
"Urgh, why did we even come to support this match."
And then Kyotani glared at the girls who started to bitch about [name], and they immediately shut up.
"Match point!"
"Let's end this in one shot!" [name] yelled out as she got into her position.
"Yes, captain!"
"Yuki, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Right, right!"
"Two blockers!" [name] yelled out and Kyoko ran to her side and blocked the spike.
"Nice one touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Aiyu-senpai!" Aria called out, and sure enough the blockers blocked Aiyu, but Aria had tossed the ball to [name] and allowed her to do a solid kill right then and now.
"Nekoma High wins!"
"Alright, I need to go." [name] mumbled and she immediately ran.
"[name]-senpai?!"
"Period, Aiyu."
"Oh….."
"Mou, but I'm hungry!" [name] whined out as she sat at the cafeteria along with her teammates as well as the boys from Nekoma High. The boys from Seijō had went to watch the match that the girls from Seijō were currently having.
"You can't eat so much!" Mukami Sensei snapped at [name] as she had been eating bananas and mangoes for the past 10 minutes. [name] then pout as she nuzzled into Kuroo's arm, which he just chuckled at her cute behaviour and patted her head.
"There, there."
And the worst thing that could happen now, was that [name] was having extremely bad period cramps.
"It hurts…" [name] mumbled into Kuroo's arm, and he couldn't help but wrap his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Alright, this is the semi-finals! On court A we have Nekoma High versus Shiratorizawa Academy. Will Shiratorizawa Academy girls show that they're as powerful as the boys team?! Or will the cats take hold of this victory and proceed on to the finals?! And on court B we have the girls from Seijō, versus the girls from Oomisaki High School!"
"GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, SEIJO!"
"PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, SEIJO!"
"Do you miss that cheer?" Kyoko asked as the girls' team did their stretches.
"A little, but it doesn't matter. I'm in Nekoma High now." [name] spoke as she stretched her legs.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!"
"Captains!"
"Let us play a good match."
And Nekoma High was serving first.
"Make me proud girls. I have faith in you. We may not seem like the best, or play like the best. But as long as the ball hasn't drop, we play on!" [name] yelled as she brought the team together in a huddle.
"Nekoma… Fight!"
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!"
"[name], nice serve!" and [name] did her jump serve; which the opponents didn't manage to receive.
"Woo, service ace!" Yaku yelled out and gave [name] a thumbs up.
"[name], one more nice serve!"
"Another service ace!" Taketora yelled out.
"[name], nice serve!"
"Woah, service ace again!" Lev stared in awe.
"[name], one more nice serve!"
"What, another service ace?" Inuoka mumbled out.
"[name], one more nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"About time…"
"Left!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Aria!" Yuki yelled out, and Aria jumped up and did a dump instead.
"Nice dump!"
"Match point!" the referee called out, and the score was 24-20, with Nekoma High leading.
"Kyoko, nice serve!"
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Kyoko had served the ball right into the back of [name]'s head.
"Don't mind, don't mind…" [name] mumbled out.
"Eh?" Kyoko stared with a confuse look on her face.
[name] was exhausted, and she was in a whole lot of pain; even Kuroo could tell. Oh, how badly he wanted to just run down and pull her into his arms and soothe her tummy, so that she could finally feel at peace.
"Nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Captain!" and Aria tossed the ball, but [name] had reacted a little too slow; and it ended up missing her right hand. She immediately went for her left hand and slammed it down, hearing a small crack from her wrist which she ignored.
"Nice kill!"
"Mou, I'm in so much pain…" [name] whine out as she grabbed her water bottle, and also rubbed her left hand.
[name] then felt a nudge on her shoulder, and she turned to look at Yuki who was pointing up to the bleachers and she giggled. [name] then turned and looked, and she immediately blushed at what was before her; Kuroo, doing a heart shape with his arms.
"Come on, give one back to him!" Naomi teased, and [name]'s face got even redder.
"Do it!"
"Come on!"
And [name] hesitantly did the heart shape, and Kuroo cheered out loud.
"Left, left!"
"One blocker!"
"Nice one-touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Yuki!" Aria yelled out and tossed the ball to Yuki, and Yuki did a feint instead as she had jumped a little too fast, causing the opponents to slide hard on the floor.
"Nice feint!" and [name] ruffled Yuki's hair.
"Tch, damn it… Those cats are annoying as fuck." The ace of Shiratorizawa muttered.
"Come on, don't pull on that long face. We just have to make the captain tired, no?" the captain called out, and [name] couldn't help but feel like she was being analysed the entire time.
"Captain, they're watching you." Yuki mumbled, and [name] nodded and whispered into Yuki's ears.
"Center, center!"
"Ne, don't you think Shiratorizawa is attacking from the center a little too much?"
"Come to think of it, now that you mentioned it; that's kind of true."
"Those pesky girls are trying to tire [name]-senpai out." Taketora mumbled loud enough for his team to hear. He then looked at Kuroo who just happened to have a smirk on his face;
"Just watch. [name] isn't that easily defeated."
"Nice block!" [name] had blocked the spike, and killed it with all her might. She landed and panted slightly as she was getting tired as each spike goes by. She then placed her hand behind her back and signalled to her teammates, which they saw and immediately understood.
"Don't think just because you're basically playing six versus one with our captain, doesn't mean that she's really alone." Naomi mumbled out.
"Kyoko, nice serve!"
"Idiots probably shouldn't be aiming [name] like that." Kyoko thought to herself as she did a jump serve, and it landed just before the outline.
"Serve ace, woo!"
"Match point!" and the score was 24-23, with Nekoma High leading.
"Come on girls, we've got our captain's faith!" Naomi yelled out as she did a few stretches in her position.
"Glad you know that." [name] yelled out as she placed her hand on her abdomen; fuck period cramps, like seriously.
"BABE! ONE LAST SHOT!" she heard Kuroo's voice, and she turned to see that he was doing the heart shape once more, and honestly that made her feel a little better at least.
"Oi, [name]! If you give up to the pain I'll punch you!" she heard Iwaizumi's voice, and she immediately rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out.
"[name]-chan~ Almost there!" she heard Oikawa's voice, and couldn't help but giggle slightly at how Oikawa was trying his best to look out from behind Iwaizumi.
"Oi, don't you have something to say to your senpai?!" Iwaizumi yelled and punched Kyotani on the head again.
"Tch… [name]-senpai…" he yelled, but soon kept quiet; but [name] knew what he meant, and she waved at him with a wide smile, causing him to blush.
"Mad dog~ You need to be careful~ The rooster head over there will peck your eyes out!"
And yet, Kyotani ignored Oikawa and turned to look at Iwaizumi.
"Don't do anything that will piss off the Nekoma High captain; you will never hear the end from your senpai." Iwaizumi spoke with his usual look and tone;
"Alright."
"WHY DO YOU ONLY REPLY TO IWA-CHAN!"
"[name], nice serve!" and [name] did her jump serve and it hit the net, unexpectedly.
"Shit!" [name] cursed out, but the ball had went over the net still but was received by the opponent.
"Nice receive!"
"Left, left!"
"One blocker!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Aiyu-senpai!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Center!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Chance ball!" Naomi yelled out and passed a high ball to Aria. Then, Aiyu, Kyoko, Yuki as well as [name] started to move at the same time. Aiyu, Kyoko and Yuki had caused the opponents to fake out, and Aria tossed the ball to [name] who spiked it…
*SLAM*
.
.
.
"AND THE WINNER OF THE SEMIFINALS ON COURT A, IS NEKOMA HIGH!"
And the crowd went wild.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!"
"As expected." Ai yelled out with a smile as she faced her opponents.
"What do you expect? She's [name] after all~" Haru teased.
"Ne, we still got one more point to go." Aikiko called out as she did a few squats in her position.
"Let's end this then." Mira called out.
"Ai, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Center!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Mira!" Aikiko yelled out, and Mira tossed the ball to her…
*SLAM*
"AND THE WINNER OF THE SEMIFINALS ON COURT B, IS SEIJO!"
And the crowd definitely went wild as well;
"GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, SEIJO!"
"PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, SEIJO!"
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BE SURE TO WATCH THE FINALS TOMORROW IN THE AFTERNOON! WILL IT BE THE CATS FROM NEKOMA HIGH? OR WILL IT BE LAST YEAR'S WINNDER AGAIN?! STAY TUNE!"
"Ne, [name]!" Ai yelled out.
"Yo!" [name] yelled out as she turned to look at her beloved friend, who soon pulled her into a bone crushing hug.
"We missed you!"
"I missed you guys too."
"Looking forward to tomorrow, babe?" Kuroo asked as [name] stepped out of her bathroom.
"Somehow, kind of?" [name] mumbled as she sat on her bed and Kuroo grabbed the towel from her hands and dried her hair for her.
"Are you alright though?" [name] asked with her eyes shut.
"I am, why do you ask? What makes you think I'm not?"
"Well… That last match that you could actually play." [name] mumbled, and Kuroo smiled softly as he grabbed out the hairdryer from [name]'s drawer.
"It doesn't matter if we win or lose, as long as we had fun. I didn't regret not stepping down then."
"I'm glad you didn't then…"
"Match point!" and the score was 28-27, with Seijo leading. It was already the third set, and this final set will determine who will head on to the finals.
It was a rally alright, everybody was beyond exhausted.
"Kenma, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Maki!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Kenma!"
"Nice one, Watari!"
And that single served ball was played on for a good 10 minutes…
"KENMA!" Kuroo yelled out, and he made a mistake…
"I know you're still blaming yourself, bed head." [name] mumbled out as Kuroo kept the hairdryer in her drawer. She then stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him into a tight hug.
"But… If I hadn't hesitated that jump, maybe we could have won…" Kuroo mumbled.
"Hey, you said it doesn't matter if it's a win or lost right?"
"Y-Yeah…"
"And you still have me."
"Since when did you talk like-." And [name] cut him off by pressing her lips against his.
"MY, WHAT AN AUDIENCE WE HAVE TODAY! WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO THE FINALS! WE HAVE NEKOMA HIGH VERSUS SEIJO. WHO WILL THE WINNER BE? IS IT GOING TO BE THE NEWLY DEBUTED NEKOMA HIGH? OR WILL IT BE LAST YEAR'S WINNERS?! AND COME TO THINK OF IT, THE CAPTAIN FROM NEKOMA HIGH IS GOING AGAINST HER FORMER TEAM, OH WHAT KIND OF MATCH WILL IT BE TODAY?!"
"Sometimes I find the announcer is hella annoying." [name] mumbled out.
"That announcer is annoying as fuck." Haru spat out as she did her stretches with the team.
"You're probably thinking the same way as [name] right now." Ai giggled as she did her stretches.
"Captains!"
"Just because we're friends, doesn't mean we'll go easy on you, [name]." Ai teased as she winked at [name].
"Expected, don't expect me to back down then." [name] stuck her tongue out, and Ai couldn't help but pull [name] into a hug.
"Doesn't matter if we win or lose here…" Ai mumbled out.
"Because it doesn't define our friendship." [name] finished her sentence.
And Seijo was serving first.
"NEKOMA HIGH, FIGHTING! AGILITY LIKE A CAT, THEY WILL SURVIVE!"
"GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, SEIJO!"
"PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, PUSH IT, SEIJO!"
"I believe in you girls!" Ai yelled out as she brought the Seijo team in a huddle.
"Make me proud girls. I have faith in you. We may not seem like the best, or play like the best. But as long as the ball hasn't drop, we play on!" [name] yelled as she brought the team together in a huddle.
"Nekoma… Fight!"
And the girls got into the positions on the court. [name] then realised that Seijo had gotten a new middle blocker which she has never seen before in her three years in Seijo; but the look that the middle blocker gave her, had turned her off. The middle blocker was practically glaring at her.
"Traitor…" the middle blocker muttered out, and [name] had an irked mark on her forehead.
"Oi, don't be rude to her, Hikari!" Ai yelled and smacked the middle blocker hard on her back.
[name] was in a pissed off mode, and she swear if killing wasn't illegal, she would have already killed Hikari right there and now. Everytime whenever [name] scored, she will always try to pick a fight with her, and whenever [name] blocked her, she just had to throw her temper at her own teammates.
"Oi, Ai. Since when did you get such a hot headed middle blocker?" [name] asked.
"Honestly, I don't know why she's here."
"Kyoko, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Ai-senpai!" and Ai spiked, which [name] blocked it, killing it.
"Nice block!"
"Damn, you're still blocking me like it's a piece of cake." Ai called out, and [name] could only laugh.
"Match point!" and Nekoma High was leading with a score of 24-23.
"Kyoko, one more nice serve!" [name] yelled out.
"Nekoma High wins the first set!"
"Match point!" and the score was 25-24, with Seijo leading. It was an extremely heated match between the two schools.
"Haru, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Captain!" and Aria tossed the ball to [name], but it got blocked by Hikari.
"Nice one touch!"
"Chance ball!"
"Center!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Chance ball!"
And Naomi passed the ball to Aria who jumped up, and did a dump instead; but it was saved by Aikiko.
"Nice save!"
"Aikiko-senpai!"
.
.
.
"Seijo wins the second set!"
"Don't mind girls, we'll get the third set!" both [name] and Ai yelled out at the same time.
The score was 25-25, and all the players in both school was exhausted and panting. [name] was on the verge of fainting from exhaustion and blood loss, and Kuroo definitely knew about it.
"BABE, HOLD ON!" he yelled.
"AI, HOLD ON!" Iwaizumi yelled out.
"Woah, Hajime?" [name] stared in shock, and the Seijo teams also stared in shock at him.
"HAHAHAHAH, IWA-CHAN FINALLY YELLED IT OUT! HAHAHAH- OUCH!" and Iwaizumi punched Oikawa in the stomach.
"Hikari, nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Aria!" and Aria saw the signal that [name] had shown and tossed the insane quick toss to [name].
.
.
.
"Match point!"
"THERE IT IS, THERE'S THAT INSANE QUICK SPIKE!"
"Woah, [name]. That was a first." Ai commented as she saw the mark that the ball had left on the floor in her own court. Ai then turned to look at [name], and she noticed her face was extremely pale and her lips were dry.
"[name], nice serve!"
"Nice receive!"
"Haru-senpai!"
"Nice one touch!"
"Aiyu-senpai!" and Aria tossed the ball to Aiyu, who got blocked by her own sister; Ai. [name] immediately stuck her right foot out as she realised that her arm wouldn't be able to reach it in time, but she didn't see that Naomi was diving for it as well.
.
.
.
*CRASH*
But the ball went over the net, and landed in the other side of the court.
.
.
.
"NEKOMA HIGH WINS THE FINALS!"
"[name]?!" Naomi yelled out as she saw [name] was in great pain.
"[NAME]!" the coach yelled out.
"Urgh, this is annoying." [name] mumbled as she placed her head on Kuroo's shoulder as he piggybacked her back to her house.
"Idiot, you pushed yourself too much."
"Mou…"
"I love you still."
"Baka, I love you too."
"But that doesn't mean that I'm going to go easy on you."
"BUT AI SAID YOU SHOULD!"
"THAT'S AI!"
"HAJIME SAID IT TOO!"
"THAT'S IWAIZUMI!"
"TETSURO!"
And Kuroo stopped walking.
"W-What did you just call me?"
"Tetsuro?"
"It's been a while since you called me that…"
"OH SHUT UP AND BRING ME HOME ALREADY!"
