Usagi woke up to a soft tickling near her upper stomach. She looked down and saw the cause. It was Kuroo, who was still asleep and each time he breathed out the air would gently brush over her stomach. His face was buried in her cleavage, as it was one of his favorite ways to sleep when she would stay over. "Tetsurou." She called softly, using her free hand to gently brush his hair. He groaned and tightened his grip around her waist, tangling their legs together. "Tetsu." He sighed, nipping at the skin between her breasts. "Hey! I know you're awake!"

"Shh," he shushed, starting to kiss and suck her skin. His leg that was between her legs, came up so that it was up against her ladyparts and he started slowly moving his leg, so she was grinding against it. She jolted and suppressed a moan, making it come out as a whimper, with which he growled at and flipped up so he was above her. A smirk was on his face before he leaned down to kiss her and continue from the night before.

~Chained~

She was glaring at the forever bedhead Nekoma captain as she was elegantly scarfing down the breakfast his mother made for them. He had a lazy smile on his face and was completely relaxed. "You're not even in rut, you jerk." She snarled in between bites. His eyes became serious.

"No, I'm not. If I was, those hickeys on your neck would be a mark instead." Her glare turned sharper. He looked away with slight guilt in his eyes. He knew that Usagi wasn't a omega that would instantly submit to an alpha, as she wasn't raised to be that way, with a family that had strong alphas she was very much used to the pheromones and only potent, concentrated ones could cause her omega instincts to flare up.

Her family wasn't a lawful one, but it wasn't quite unlawful either. It was in the grey-zone, what her family did exactly, he wasn't quite sure. Even Usagi didn't quite know either, as the family business was passed down to alphas, but that didn't mean omegas were looked down upon. No, it was the opposite, the omegas were expected to stand toe to toe with the alphas. Thus, she and her older sister, Ai were masters in many martial-arts. Though Usagi specialized in kicks, it was one of the reasons why she had so much jumping power for volleyball. "Come on, I'll walk you home." Kuroo said, standing up.

She grumbled, as she finished up the breakfast and went to put away the dishes, thanking his mother who was in the living room. His mother just waved her thanks away and smiled. She went to the doorway, where he was waiting and put on her shoes. "I'm keeping this hoodie by the way. As collateral." He chuckled in response.

"How many of them do you have anyways? You never returned my jackets, hoodies or shirts when we agreed to stop being mates." He asked. She paused, shrugging.

"I don't know. Do you want me to return them?" He shook his head.

"Keep them."

"...Now I want to return them." She muttered. He glanced at her in confusion. She shrugged, and they headed out. It didn't take them long to reach her house, which was more like an estate, as it had a gate, an outer and inner garden, then the house, which was a traditional japanese house. As they got closer, they noticed a blond guy looking down at his phone. Usagi squinted her eyes and recognition appeared in her face. " .YA." She yelled, running full speed at the male, who looked up in fear. She grabbed the boy's face and turned him this way and that. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?! YOU DYED IT?! IT'S SHAVED ON ONE SIDE?! IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK!"

"Usagi-nee! What are you doing back home? I thought you were staying with Ai-nee?" Tatsuya asked.

"Kuroo asked me to come watch the practice match they had yesterday but who cares about me, WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOUR HAIR?!" He looked away and muttered an answer. "What was that?"

"I want to be tough like you." He said a bit louder, but not by much. She let go of his face and frowned.

"So you dyed your hair blonde like how I had it in junior high and shaved half of it?" He nodded. She stared into his gold and chocolate-brown orbs with her own gold ones. "You are the baby of our family, you don't have to be anything that you don't want to, Tsu-chan." He glared at her.

"I'm in junior-high now! Stop calling me Tsu-chan! I'm not a baby anymore!" He pouted.

"Yes, you are. I'm in my third year of high school, you just barely started junior high as a first year! If I hear you joined a delinquent group…" She snarled threateningly. Kuroo, who had been standing there watching in amusement, decided to help the poor younger omega from the older one. He walked up to Usagi, leaned down a bit and nibbled her ear. He saw the shudder that went through her and she quickly opened the gate, pulled Tatsuya in along with her and closed the gate in his face.

"Thanks for walking me home, Kuroo! You can go now!" She shouted. He walked home with a smirk on his face. Usagi was able to spend a couple hours with her family, though it was mostly just with her mother and Tatsuya, as her father and older brother, Akihiko were at work. It ended quickly, though as she was ushered back into the car to head back.

Usagi yawned as she opened the door for Oikawa and Hajime. "I'm off, Ai-nee!" She shouted before stepping out. She then glanced at Oikawa and saw him slightly wince when he stepped back to make room for her. "What happened?" She asked, he turned the wince into a smile and replied,

"Hm? What are you talking about Usa-chan?" She frowned, and then lightly pushed him, with which he near fell over if she hadn't grabbed his arm after pushing. She then looked at Hajime with a raised eyebrow.

"He was practicing serves over the weekend, specifically the one you did with intense power and control and his knee near gave out on him." He explained. She turned to the idiot captain with a furious glare.

"If you wanted to practice my serve, you should have asked! Instead of injuring yourself!"

"Awh, are you worrying about me?" Oikawa smiled..

"Stay off of it. Use it as sparingly as possible, sit out of this morning's practice at the very least. I'll get you some ice from the nurse when we get to school." She lectured. He nodded, having no response as he was just happy feeling cared for.

"By the way, Usagi, we have a practice match today after school against Karasuno." Hajime told her.

"What?!" She turned around. "He-", she pointed at Oikawa, "-doesn't get to play unless he gets my go ahead when I inspect his knee after classes." The captain opened his mouth to protest but shut his mouth after the bunny manager gave him a glare that promised death. "You tried to do my serve and that is why you got injured so I get to evaluate."

"There's no problem with me. You'll have to get Coach Irihata's permission though." Hajime replied. They got to Aoba Johsai and walked into the volleyball gym, where Usagi promptly told Oikawa to sit on the bench, firmly and he obeyed, which startled many of the members but they still went back to practicing. She told Coach Irihata about what she wanted to do and he gave her the go ahead, along with Coach Mizoguchi giving her the Aoba Johsai manager jacket.

The rest of the day went somewhat smoothly, as Tooru felt he was being watched like a hawk. Anything that would potentially cause strain to his knee, an intense deathly aura was directed at him. He wasn't irritated or even mad at it, in fact it caused him to be in a good mood. At lunch, Usagi had even placed her lunch box at his desk before running to get him ice for his knee. He wondered why she was suddenly being so nice to him and caring for his injured knee. He thought that she would have sneered at him and told him that's what he deserved.

Usagi came back with the ice, which was wrapped in a paper towel so it wouldn't be too cold. She placed it on his right knee gently. "Nakano." He called out, wanting to be serious and she hadn't given him permission to use her first name. She flinched and a disgusted expression appeared on her face.

"That doesn't sound right coming from your mouth. Just call me Usagi." She said quickly. He gave her a soft smile.

"Okay." She looked up at him with a questioning gaze.

"Did you want to ask me something?" He nodded.

"Why are you suddenly so gentle and caring? I thought you would have sneered at me and told me that's what I deserved for practicing too much." He asked. A conflicted look flashed through her eyes and she looked down towards his knee.

"I injured my knee from practicing too much. It wasn't so bad at first. My knee completely failed me during a spike and I landed hard. It's fine now as long as I don't stress it too much. I can't play in official matches anymore as they would stress my knee too much but practice matches are okay." She explained. "I love volleyball too much to not be close to it everyday so I decided to be a manager in high school." The bell rang for lunch to end and she returned to her seat, taking her half eaten lunch. He had left half for her, which he watched her scarf down so quickly, he was startled. She glared at him to dare him to say anything about it.

The rest of classes passed quickly and she dragged him to the nurse's office, with the hoard of fangirls trying to follow but Usagi's glare and his own alpha pheromones helped them stay back and clear of the way. She had him sit on one of the beds and pulled the pants leg up to show his knee. He opened his mouth to comment but she squeezed down on his knee which caused him to yelp instead. After a couple minutes of inspecting his knee, she pulled a knee brace from her bag. "I always carry one with me in case my knee acts up." She explained before putting it on his knee. "Rest for a bit then we can go back to the gym so you can join in on the practice match against Karasuno."

~Chained~

Screams from fangirls suddenly erupted in the gym. "Oh, Oikawa, you're back." Coach Irihata commented. Usagi placed down hers and Oikawa's bag in the locker room. She walked out and Kiyoko noticed and waved her over. "Shizimu-san!" Usagi greeted with a smile.

"What are you doing at Aoba Johsai, Nakano-san? I thought you were Nekoma's manager?" She asked.

"My parents wanted me to move in with my older sister is why I'm here now." Usagi explained. "I'm gonna go back over to Seijoh's side now though, since I am their manager. I'll talk to you when I have the chance?" Kiyoko nodded. She walked back over to the waving Oikawa.

"Ya-ho~ Long time no see, Tobio-chan." He said with a faux smile. "So nice to see you~ You still doing the King thing?"

"You gross me out." Usagi commented. Oikawa looked at Usagi with surprise.

"Ahh? Me? Why?" He pouted.

"You know why, Shittykawa." Was her only response.

"Don't go copying, Iwa-chan, Usa-chan!"

"Go warm up, Trashykawa!" As he did, the game continued and Usagi watched the game intensely, nothing escaping her gaze. Karasuno had one more point till they won when Oikawa was finally allowed in. "Anything reckless, I'll kill you," was her only comment as he passed by to enter the court.

"Don't worry, Usa-chan~ I know not to do anything without your permission~" He replied. Screams of his name from the omega fangirls erupted as he walked onto court. Usagi noticed that the Karasuno team got more tense, with Tanaka sticking his tongue out, Hinata looking like he was going to faint, and Kageyama's face got even more serious. Oikawa, whose face had been all smiles, became serious as the ball was in his hand and he was facing the court, in the server position. "No matter how strong your offense is...it means nothing if you can't connect to it." He raised his arm that was holding the ball and pointed at Tsukishima before throwing it up in the air and doing his signature serve with the incredible control and power.

Usagi zoned everything out and focused on Oikawa. She knew that her serve had inspired him to try and do the same type of intense power and she had no doubt that he could put out that kind or even greater but the problem was controlling it so that it would be powerful but not go out of the court at the same time. He only got to serve twice before the game ended, which was unfortunate because she wasn't able to get enough data on him to help for her serve. The two teams lined up and bowed to each other.

She wasn't focusing when Oikawa walked towards her and basically draped himself over her lap. "Usa-chaaan~ My knee has started hurting againnn~" He whined and pouted. She looked down at him as he was looking up at her and he fully saw her face turn into one of disgust. He got the hint and got off her. His face turned thoughtful as he walked away.

~Chained~

The next morning when Usagi arrived at the gym for the morning practice, Oikawa was waiting for her at the door and pulled her off to follow him. "What are you doing, Shittykawa!" She demanded. They rounded the corner and he near slammed her into the wall.

"I didn't ask you this yesterday because there was always someone around, but why do you have the scent of another alpha's on you?" He snarled, his face serious, pheromones on full, anger in his eyes. She instinctively started cowering into the wall, wanting to seem smaller and not anger the furious alpha even more. She opened her mouth the answer but the wind decided to blow at that moment and her hair flew with it, showing the bruise on her skin, right where the bonding gland was. Normally, one wouldn't be able to see it even if her hair hadn't been over her shoulder but he was already looking down at her from above.

His snarls silenced, the look on his face had Usagi whimpering softly from fear. "Alpha, I'm-", she was about to apologize but he shushed her with a single look. He leaned down and nuzzled the bonding gland, he brushed his canines over it and bit hard, however not hard enough to break skin but enough to leave a mark that wouldn't go away. She yelped in pain. Iwaizumi, who was about to go look for the two heard the yelp and followed it and saw the two.

"Hey! Trashykawa! What are you doing?!" He yelled. Oikawa stood up straight and glanced at Iwaizumi. He blinked and backed up a step in response to the furious gaze of the Great King. It was the gaze of a possessive alpha that wouldn't tolerate another in close range of his omega. Iwaizumi backed up slowly, making sure to not meet his childhood friend's gaze head-on. He sent a quick apologetic look in Usagi's direction, making sure to do so quickly. Oikawa turned to Usagi.

"Are you going to answer me, omega?" She shuddered in fear, gripping her arms. She knew the stories of angry alphas hurting omegas. In fact, she was trained in martial arts for this exact reason, but she found that she could do nothing but whimper and want to submit to Oikawa. He had dominance over her with his pheromones and she had a suspicion that it had something to do with him being her True Mate, even if she refused to believe so because she hated how flirty he was. "Omega." The warning in his voice startled her back to reality. She looked into his eyes, steeled to do what she could to calm him down.

She reached her arms around his neck and pulled him down to a kiss, which he responded to immediately, demanding entrance to which she gave it to him and she could feel him relax into the kiss, his hands going to caress her face gently. The two parted and he looked at her with a soft gaze, going in for another but with a quick movement, Usagi turned around, grabbed his arm and quickly threw him over her shoulder onto the grass. "I am not your omega! Even if you are my True Mate, I have yet to acknowledge you as one! You have no right to be possessive over me!" She yelled at him, before stalking into the gym in anger.

Tooru just stared after in a daze from the sudden throw. He cursed himself silently as he had been able to take a step forward into wooing her before the practice match but now he just took three steps back. He sighed and stood up, rubbing the back of his head and walked into the gym to practice.
