A Haikyuu! & Inuyasha Short Fanfic
Family of Crows:
"Finally, They Meet"
Written by k-tiraam © 2016
Kagome browsed through the training camp's schedules and menus. It fell to manager's responsibility to cook, to look after the players and make sure training clothes were clean. Ah, sounds like your average days at home, only she's in her mom's role. Well, at least she wasn't alone.
The Nekoma's manager hummed, thoughtfully, accepting the plans for the training camp.
"Everything looks fine for you, Higurashi-san?" Nekomata asked.
"Don't see anything wrong with, so, I'm okay with this." Kagome smiled.
The old man smiled. "That's good. As you remember, you will be working with the other managers, so you won't be alone in this."
Kagome nodded. "Who are the other teams that will join this training camp?"
The Nekoma's second coach, Manabu Naoi, looked through his notes. "Let's see… Fukuroudani Academy, Shinzen High, Ubugawa, of course us and…" He paused for a second to make clear of the last one.
Kagome wrote down the schools' names. 'Ah, Bokuto-kun and Akaashi-kun will be coming. I haven't seen them for a while. Same goes with Yukie-chan. I heard she got herself an assistant. Hmm, I should consider finding one too.'
"Ah, Karasuno High will also join the training camp." Naoi finally said the last school. "Coach Nekomata invited them." The older man nodded to confirm it.
Suddenly, both men heard a pencil snap; they looked at Nekoma's manager, noticing the pencil in her hand was broken. Not only that, but her face was sweating and was turning pale as well. Naoi jolted in panic, worrying about her. "Ah! Higurashi-san! Are you alright?!"
Kagome's heart was beating hard against her chest! It took few deep breathes to have it settling down before answering to two worrying coaches. "I-I'm alright. It was just… something else came up to my mind for a moment… But, nothing to worry about it!" She laughed nervously, scratching her neck.
"Hmm, it wouldn't be your cousin now, would it?" Nekomata smirked teasingly at her – to which Kagome's whole body twitched. Damn the old man for his sharp mind! "Doesn't he still know you go to Nekoma's High? I admit, I was surprise when learned you're Ukai's other grandchild. Tch, that old geezer seems to spread out his genes everywhere…."
Kagome coughed, reminding the older man that she was at presence – and not to mention he was talking about her grandfather!
"Ah, anyway, Karasuno will be joining the training camp too. I think you should go and greet them once they arrive to the camp." Nekomata grinned. Again, damn the old man and for his sneaky ways.
Kagome sighed in her defeat, while coach Naoi tried to say some encouragements. All the encouragements were needed, because she needed to stop her cousin, Keishin from killing her boyfriend!
As the training camp began, Kagome noticed everyone were busy and very focused with their practise games and training. If a team lost a game, they had penalty runs or dives - Karasuno's team received most of the penalty turns. Not only the players were busy, but also coaches and managers were with their part of the camp. What this meant for her? For now, Kagome could breathe easily, knowing that Keishin would NOT have any chances to threaten Kuroo. However, whenever she was around Karasuno and Nekoma's games, Kagome did notice Keishin glaring at Kuroo. Hmph. Two could play this game and she began to glare back at him in return.
This kept on going for days, and the other teams began to notice it. You would think that the coaches would be like this, but not a manager and a coach! Nekoma's team – and two players from Fukuroudani – knew the reason why this was happening.
But those who were clueless kept themselves away from it. They did not want to get involved. The heavy tension between the cousins was unbearable. The only one, who didn't seem to be bothered about this, was the one whose life was being threatened. Kuroo couldn't help but to smirk at the two of them. Oh yeah, they were cousins alright. Also, Kagome looked too adorable when she was angry and was so protective of him.
Kuroo whistled quietly, about to walk away from the gym. 'Lev needs more training with the blocking. Still leaves his arms too wide…'
"Oi, you! Nekoma's captain! I need to talk with you." Keishin stomped his way to Kuroo, who stopped after hearing Karasuno's coach call out for him. Rest of the Nekoma team were puzzled of such development, what did Kuroo do to the Karasuno's coach? The coach looked really mad.
'Ah man. Kagome did warn me about this.' Kuroo wiped some of sweat off of him. "About what?"
"I heard you're dating Kagome-chan." Keishin crossed his arms, glaring at the captain. "You've known her for how long?"
"Hmm," Kuroo pondered for a moment, "since we started the high school? We are in a same class. Didn't Kagome-chan tell you about this?"
"She did mention it." Keishin's glare deepened. 'Dammit, I should've paid more attention when she said that!' Keishin coughed. "Yeah, she also told me, you began to date since the beginning of third year."
"True." Kuroo smirked. He actually took a risk to smirk at Keishin! The Karasuno's coach frowned at the smirking cat. He got lot of guts.
"Well, since you're dating my baby cousin." Keishin took a hold of Kuroo's shirt, surprising the captain. "I got some ground rules for you to follow!"
At that same moment, Kagome noticed them, which caused her to panic! 'No! Keishin-kun is talking to Tetsurou-kun!'
"One, treat her nicely! She's a young woman, who needs to be respected!"
Kuroo nodded; he was no fool and he knew how to treat a girl like Kagome. Although, sometimes, he liked to tease her, it was just so entertaining to see her flustered.
"Two, no wandering hands!" Keishin said that a bit too loud, because Kagome's face was turning red. Heck, even Kuroo felt his face getting a bit hotter. Too late for rule number two. Kuroo really tried to not to look suspicious. They were teenagers! Of course there were moments when they have "touched" each other. Other Nekoma's players were trying to hide their laughter. Only Kenma remained quiet, staring at his teammates in disapproval.
"And three… do not try to get my cousin pregnant! Leave that after getting married!" Keishin hissed quietly the last rule, to spare Kagome from further humiliation.
Kuroo gulped. Oh no. They were too young for parenthood – and even to consider a marriage. Besides, they haven't reached that far with their relationship, meaning, getting more physical. The volleyball took most of their time… ahem. Yeah. But a young man like him could always fantasize about it.
Keishin didn't mean for everyone to hear the last one, some of the Nekoma's players did managed to hear it. They just couldn't hold their laughter anymore. Kenma was annoyed about his team's behaviour. Even their coaches had the decency to walk away and ignore all this. (Fact was that they were chuckling further away from the gym.)
Kagome was trying to hide her red face with her hands, hoping for the ground shallow her up! 'Grandfather Ukai was right. Keishin-kun is an idiot!'
It only took a moment for her to snap out of the embarrassment. Kagome growled in anger, took a volleyball and threw it at Keishin's head. Luckily, Kuroo noticed her intention in time and managed to slip away from the blonde coach's grip. Bull's-eye! Keishin yelped from the sudden impact behind his head!
"Keishin-kun, you jerk!" Kagome shouted at him!
"What did I do?!" Keishin rubbed the back of his head. 'Man, her aim is perfect as always.'
"Seriously?" Kagome glared at him, her eyebrow twitching twice. She felt the pulse beating hard over her temple. She was about to take another volleyball, only to be stopped by Kuroo's hold on her wrist. "Tetsurou-kun?!"
"Relax, Kagome-chan. I think coach Ukai here was just worry about you. After all, we haven't actually introduced ourselves properly." Kuroo smiled at her, trying to break off the up-coming battle between cousins. "Right, coach Ukai?"
Keishin grumbled, still feeling the pain on his head. "Right…"
"You don't need to worry about Kagome-chan." Kuroo bowed down respectfully at Keishin, one of his smiles appearing over his face. "I'll take good care of her and respect her. She really special to me, and I won't have her harmed in any way."
Keishin's eyebrow twitched. 'Something about his "smile" makes me feel uneasy…'
"Keishin-kun," Kagome sighed, "you don't need to protect me. Tetsurou-kun has been a gentleman with me. Oh sure, sometimes he can be a jerk too."
"Oi!" Kuroo frowned at her.
"Nevertheless," Kagome looked at her boyfriend fondly, "most of the time, he can be sweet – in his unique own way."
"Hee~ Thanks, Kagome-chan!" Kuroo hugged her.
"Ugh! Now you're being a jerk! Tetsurou-kun, go wash yourself! You're sweaty!" Kagome shrieked in disgust, trying to escape from Kuroo's grip.
Keishin looked on, as the young couple argued and teased each other in front of him. Seconds flew by, before he sighed in defeat – accepting the fact that his baby cousin was a grown woman. She had the every right to date whomever she wanted to.
Still, he would keep a close eye on her boyfriend during the training camp. That smile left him feel uneasy.
"Aah! I've never felt so embarrassed!" Kagome groaned; her voice was muffled into her pillow as she lied down on her futon, trying to hide herself from the world. She and the other managers had gone to their room for the night, but none of them were ready to go to sleep. There were still few things to be done before that.
"I think it's kinda sweet of your cousin to protect your… virtue." Yukie teased her, causing Kagome to groan even more.
"I was surprised to know that coach Ukai is your cousin, Kagome-chan." Shimizu said as she folded her towel. "Then again, the coach never really speaks about himself."
"Keishin-kun is an idiot…" Kagome grumbled in frustration. "I do love him and all, but when he gets like this… he just doesn't know when to stop!"
The female managers tried to cheer Kagome up, consoling her when they heard a knocking from the door. One of them, Kaori from Fukuroudani Academy, went to answer it and was face to face with Kuroo – who had just stopped training Lev. In other words, he whipped the poor first-year until he was about to fall down from exhaustion.
"Ah, Kuroo-senpai. You came to see Kagome-senpai?" Kaori asked, smiling slyly. (She had learned few tricks from her senpai.)
"Yeah, is she there?" Kuroo smiled, with an equally sly look over his face. "I just want to talk with her for a while."
"Just a sec. Kagome-senpai! Kuroo-senpai is here to see you!" Kaori shouted over her shoulder.
Like a spring, Kagome quickly rose up from her futon and went to the door. Other girls giggled at her quick recovery from grumpy Kagome into love-sick Kagome. Yachi couldn't help but to stare after Kagome as she disappeared behind the closed door. Was it really okay for the Nekoma's captain to be here, at the girls' room? Not exactly inside the room, but to be anywhere near it? Yachi could feel her head was about to explode, when Shimizu patted on her shoulder – telling her that everything was alright. With that, Yachi stopped worrying and went to sit down with the other girls.
When Kagome closed the door, she could hear the girls' giggles, making her blush. Kuroo chuckled at her reaction. "Man, we've been dating for long time and you still blush whenever we see each other. I'm touched." He teased.
"Tetsurou-kun," Kagome pouted. "Quit teasing. What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here."
"Hoo~?" He stepped closer to her, making Kagome to back away against the wall. "Am I forbidden from coming to see and talk with my girl?" He placed both his hands on the wall, trapping her between his arms.
"Er, no, talking is okay. But other than that…" Kuroo pushed her chin upwards with his finger, making her look into his eyes.
"You worry too much, Ka-go-me~"
Kagome blushed. "W-well… with Keishin-kun here… you can never know when he…"
"Hmm~?" Kuroo's face came closer to hers, his eyes staring into her eyes seductively. "He's not around here now, is he? Coach Ukai is with the other coaches and won't be back for a while." With that, his lips touched hers softly. Little by little, he deepened the kiss, wrapping his arms around her tiny body. Kagome responded by wrapping her arms around his neck, tip-toeing a bit. (He was almost a head taller than her!) Time seemed to stop when they kissed like this.
Before things got too heated, a cough interrupted them. Both of them could feel a killing aura close to them, which caused Kuroo to shiver and sweat in fright! Every cell in his body screamed at him to 'run and fast'!
"You… are so dead…" Keishin cracked his knuckles, his eyes shining with indescribable anger. He was ready to teach the captain not to touch his precious baby cousin in such way!
"Ah…" Kuroo looked at livid-looking Keishin, feeling his doom approaching. "Well, I better get going. Goodnight, Kagome!" He gave a quick peck on her cheek and made a run for it – with Keishin chasing him.
"Get back here, you alley cat!"
Kagome stared after them, stunned of what just happened. Not because of the kiss, no. As always, Kuroo's kisses left her breathless and speechless. This time, it wasn't the kiss that stunned her. Keishin's appearance had stunned her.
Seconds ticked away, until Kagome finally entered into girls' room, went straight to her futon and under her blanket. Other girls were puzzled; first they heard them talking, then it was silence and then they heard Karasuno coach's voice. Now, Kagome looked like she didn't want to show her face anymore.
"Umm, Kagome-chan?" Yukie called out gently.
"Wake me up once the training camp is over."
Rest of the girls blinked, and then sighed deeply. They had one thought in their minds: 'Ah, having a boyfriend and a cousin in a same training camp, has finally taken a toll on Kagome-chan. Poor girl.'
End of story.
First draft: February the 4th, 2016
Author note's: There you have it, long waited sequel for the previous Haikyuu!-fics. Man, it's a wonder that I managed to write two fics now, since I got a substitute job for this week. Today I got early from work, so I could finally write this down. :D

Anyway, this is not the end of Haikyuu-crossover fics, oh no. There will be more, which might not be connected with the ones written before. First, sequel for Naruto-fic waits.
