He honestly should have seen this coming. It was bound to happen. But, he was praying it wouldn't. He had had enough during these last three years of high school.
Tsukishima Kei thinks that the gods of this world hate him, and are purposly trying to torture him.
"What are you doing here!?"
"You...!"
Tsukishima, along with the ever present Yamaguchi, had entered the gym a little early, since they didn't have anything better to do, only to find a pair of first years fighting.
The sense of Deja Vu was annoying and Tsukishima scowled while Yamaguchi snickered quietly behind him. They seemed to go unnoticed by the first year pair, as the two continued their little squabble. It was so reminicent of Kageyama and Hinata, it made Tsukishima almost nausious.
Really, where the hell did these energetic people come from?! It's amazing that he didn't have an Aneurysm by now with just Hinata. Even if the shorty toned down a bit since his first year, and especially since he became Captain, he still had a personality that would make one feel (as Yachi had once described as) 'like standing in direct sunlight.' Ugh.
"Oi, oi! If you fight like that and the captain catches you, you're gonna be in trouble~!" Yamaguchi called, finally catching the newbies attention.
"W-When did they get here?!" The smaller one excliamed.
"We've been here for the last five minutes." Tsukishima muttered boredly. The younger pair eeped and appeared sheepish. This made the blond smirk a bit in amusement.
"Or you could continue your little squabble until the captain comes. Either one doesn't really matter to us." Tsukishima stated off handedly. Maybe this will end in a similar manner it had during their first year and those idiots' fight.
"Tsukishima, are you teasing the new first years?" And speak of the devil. All eyes turned to the entrance and, lo and behold, the Captain and Vice-Captain, the banes of Tsukishima's existance. Hinata gave him a look of playful question, while Kageyama stood behind him with calm stoicism, looking over everyone who was currently in the gym. Tsukishima huffed and rolled his eyes.
"Ossu!" Tsukishima and Yamaguchi greeted the two with different degrees of enthusiasm.
"Ossu." The oddball duo returned. "And to you first years over there, welcome." Hinata added. The new first year duo managed to stammer out a greeting back. For some reason, the two new arrivals seemed vaguely familiar to the taller first year.
"Wait, is that the Captain?" the smaller asked the one he had just been argueing with quietly.
"You mean the ginger? There's no way, he's probably the Vice. Captain's gotta be the black haired one, he's got that kind of look and air." The taller replied. "Not liked you'd know anything about that."
"What'd you just say?!"
"Oi! That's enough you two!" Kageyama tried to intervine, unsuccessfully.
"I said you wouldn't be able to tell if someone was stronger than you even if they hit you in the face with a ball, idiot."
"You wanna go, bastard?! I'll take you on right here!"
"Oi! Don't ignore us!" Hinata tried to butt in. Also unsuccessfully.
"How? It's not like either of us have a team to play with."
"Those monster serves of yours! Serve them at me and I'll return them! I'll return all of them this time!"
"Alright then. Bring it!" And before Hinata and Kageyama could rein the two in, they had already got into position to do their challenge. The taller boy took a breathe, tossed the ball high, then ran forward to preform a powerful jump serve. The smaller boy was immediatly in position to recieve. The ball slammed into the smaller's arms, causing him to grunt at the sheer power. Echoing thoughts of 'He's gotten better,' rang in their heads. Somehow, the smaller was able to return the serve and the ball flew a little awkwardly towards the empty setter's spot.
Or, should have been empty.
The first years watched in astonishment as the black haired senpai, whom had moved into position while the two were focused on eachother, calmly, with absolute focus, prepared to set the ball. And the ginger haired senpai.
He was flying.
Two mouths dropped at the incredible height that was Hinata's powerful jump. Kageyama launched the ball as precise and fast as it always is with Hinata as the spiker. The ball rocketed past the stunned taller first year. Hinata landed and the only sound in the gym was the remaining bounce in the ball.
'What... just...?' The taller looked back at the ball, then back to his senpai, only to flinch back.
Slit-like pupils that held you in place and ran ice down your spine. An aura that radiated power and confidence and demanded obedience. A tiny crow cast away its disguise to show the Tengu it really was.
Hinata stared them down. The first year pair felt ready to piss themselves.
What the hell had they just unleashed upon themselves?
The younger pair gulped. The taller nearly yelped when he was suddenly lifted off the ground by the back of his shirt. He looked up to find Kageyama's cool gaze staring him down. He then snapped his gaze back over to his smaller 'teammate' when a yelp did sound, finding the other in the same position with Hinata. The two were then dragged to the side entrance they came in and unceremoniously tossed out. The two stood up quickly, ready to question what was going on, when a pair of papers, their club applications, were shoved in their faced.
The pair looked from their applications back up to their senpai. While Hinata no longer held his kingly Ace Aura, he still held an air of authority.
"Volleyball is not a sport one person can play alone." He stated. "It is played with 6 people on either side of the net. Everyone on your side of the net is an ally." Hinata stepped back behind the threshhold of the door.
"Not only did you two start a fight, you ignored not just your senpai, but your Captain and Vice-Captain when we told you to stop. And as the Captain, I cannot allow you to participate in this club until you two learn to get along." Once Hinata finished, Kageyama slid the gym door closed, leaving the two befuddled first years outside the gym.
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
From inside the gym, there was a pause after Kageyama closed the door. The muffled sound of the panicing just-kicked-out first years was easily heard. Then there was a snort. Then giggling. And finally, Hinata and Kageyama burst into a full-on uproar of laughter.
"Oh man, now I think I understand how Sawamura-senpai felt when we first came here." Hinata managed to say through his laughter. "Were we that bad Tobio-kun?" Kageyama snorted.
"Oh, we were much worse Shou, with the whole, 'Knock the Vice-Principal's wig off with a stray ball,' thing." Hinata fell into another fit of giggles.
"Yeah, good point." Kageyama then glanced over to Hinata with a smirk.
"Nice use of that Aura of yours, they looked scared shitless." He complimented, it having become easier to compliment Hinata, and his teammates in general, after these few years in Karasuno. Hinata smirked back. It was after the Spring Tournament of their first year, after they won Nationals, some time in the beginning of their second year, when Hinata was shown the recording of The Match with Shiratorizawa. Hinata could almost not believe that the person on that court was him in that moment. He had almost scared himself. It wasn't until Kageyama brought up the idea to try and have Hinata consciously go into this intimidation mode and weaponize it that Hinata saw the potential in this aura of his.
It took almost all of their second year to figure it all out, but they got it down, and now it was just another powerful weapon at their disposal.
"It's a good warning to the newbies not to anger their Captain. Keeps them in line." He shrugged. They then noticed that most of the rest of the team had arrived. "Alright, let's get to practicing!"
"Ossu!"
Outside the gym, the first year pair were discussing what all had happened and what to do.
"S-So, that really was the Captain?" the smaller stammered. "What the hell was that?!"
"Oh my god, I remember now. Why those two were so familiar." The taller looked like he just had an epiphany.
"Huh? You mean the Captain and the other guy?"
"That was Hinata Shouyou and Kageyama Tobio. Those two are the strongest setter and spiker pair in the district. They've been getting sponcer offers to the Japanese Olympic volleyball team since they won Nationals in their first year. Hinata-senpai is know for his status as 'The Perfect Decoy' and 'Karasuno's Tengu' with his speed, agility, and increadable jump. And then there is Kageyama-senpai, a prodigy setter who was know as the 'King of the Court' in middle school. He has amazing all-round abilities, his serves are especially nasty to be on the recieving end of. Those two... shit, what have we done?" The taller of the two explained, getting paler the longer he talked.
The smaller gaped and paled as well. He knew his senpai would be strong, Karasuno has won Nationals the last two years in a row, but the Japanese Olympic team strong?! He could feel his stomache hit the ground.
"S-So, how do we get them to let us in!?" He exclaimed. "He said we had to learn to work together, so..." The pair fell silent, unsure of what to do next.
"There is the first year vs. the senpai match."
The first years jumped at the sudden feminine voice behind them. They turned around to find a pretty blond girl, another senpai, smiling at them. The duo looked at her in confusion.
"Every year there is a first year vs. senpai match to determine the abilities of the new first years. If you two can show that you can get along and work as teammates now, you could win, then Hinata-kun will allow you to practice with the rest of the team." She explained.
"So, if we beat the senpai in the match, then we'll get to practice!?" the taller reiterated.
"Yup!"
"Ano... Are you the manager, Senpai?" The smaller then asked. "You were familiar with the Captain, and knew about the match..."
"Uh-huh. My name is Yachi Hitoka. I'm a third year and the manager of the volleyball team." Yachi beamed. The pair nodded and greeted her back.
"I'll see you later, ok? I've got something to help you two practice before the match, so, come find me after practice." She winked at the first years. Then, she turned and entered the gym.
"Ossu!" She called.
"Ossu!"
"Yachi-senpai! You're looking as cute as always!"
"Oi! Get back to practicing!"
"Yes, Kageyama-senpai..."
The door closed, cutting off anymore of the chatter.
The duo looked at eachother.
"Let's promise to never make Captain angry." The taller started.
"Agreed. I thought he was going to kill us." The smaller nodded.
"Hey..."
"Yeah?"
"Do you think... that that's what a real Ace looks like on court?"
"...Huh?"
"The look Captain gave us. All power and confidence and... something. Do you think that's the kind of aura only an Ace can have?"
"Whatever the hell it was, I'm sure as hell glad he's on our side."
And done! Haaaa, this was hard! I hope this is acceptable. Appearently, the best motivation for me to write is cut off the internet and fly me to my sister's graduation party a state over.
