Karasuno Vs. Date Tech

Sora POV

"Tweet Tweet" the whistle blows signalling the end of Shiratorizawa's match. Another blow shortly after ending Aoba Johsai's match. Claps could be heard around us along with the cheers from both of their schools, as I too clap my hands and stood up along with Sean.

"Ready?" I ask him and he flashes a thumbs up. "Yep!"

We quickly leave this arena so we could go catch the game of Karasuno Vs. Date Tech. I looked down at my phone to check the time. "The game should start pretty soon, in a couple minutes" I say as we leave walking down the halls heading up and into the other arena where Karasuno is.

"GO GO LET'S GO DATE TECH!! GO GO LET'S GO DATE TECH!!" I hear the chants from the other side of the stands. "Wow, such a catchy chant." Sean mumbled as we took a seat watching over form the Karasuno side.

I snicker and walk over to a seat as I see them get into positions on the court. Sean came and took a seat beside me.

"Tweet!!" the whistle blew starting the serve with Date Tech, Karasuno easily sent the ball to the setter and sent it over to Sho-kun. I watched and observed with my full attention. Seeing in the next moment that Shoyo jumped #7 quickly moved over and jumped up blocking the spike. But the ball managed to slip through the side.

"Read blocking huh" Sean says over next to me and I hum at that.

"Their read blocking isn't so bad. That #7 had pretty good reflexes." Sean goes on and I nod my head. "Though this might be a hard game for Karasuno. But I'm sure they'll make it through." I say and he looks over at me. "You sure have trust in that team."

I hum "Hmm. Well you see #10 right?" I say and he nods. "Chibi dude with the bright orange hair. What about him?"

"That's Hinata Shoyo, my childhood friend that I grew up practicing volleyball with. Though he lacks in some areas but in the first match that we saw, he was able to jump with power and spike. He has potential and I believe that he'll be able to make it pass those blockers and score some points." I say

"What!? He's your childhood friend?! I thought it was #2 or something of the sort maybe the manager even!" he exclaims drawing in some attention. "Shush! Your being to loud." I scold.

"Damn but he kinda sucks in the basics. His spikes are pretty good but the receives...." he goes off and I sigh putting my head in my hands. "Yes....even though I helped him with those, it seems that he forgot some of my training and help."

He laughs a bit as we continue to watch. The player on Karasuno, Asahi calls for a back attack as he goes into the spike it gets blocked and sent down.

The two of us now pay attention to the game and I look at the plays. 'He was able to see that. Sho-kun you'll need to find another way than that.' I think to myself as the ball that Shoyo hit was blocked out, in that second #7, Aone, was able to see where he would hit it.

As they flipped the score board I looked down at the interaction of Shoyo and #9 Kageyama talking with Sho-kun looking all sparkly and excited. I let out a chuckle at the cuteness of Sho-kun.

Sean looked over at me "I'm still surprised that he's are childhood friend. He's sparkly and friendly like you but he gives off that whole innocent vibe when he plays. While you give off that serious almost monster vibe at times when you're on court." he tells me while shivering in his seat.

I huff and cross my arms. "Well hey, it's just that I'm really focused on the game when I'm in the court so, plus the training back in America really changes things up." I say and he nods. I look over at him again. "Well you can't say much about me either. At times you get those vibes too." I say and he sighs.

Date Tech goes in with their serve as Karasuno receives it and sends it over to Kageyama. The setter sets it up as Sho-kun goes in running fast. He quickly jumps up and the ball is already on the other side of the court.

I lean forward in my seat and a huge smile breaks out on my face. "See, Sean!" I say while still awed at seeing that quick in real life. I remembered some parts of the show but only the characters and some game play. But things that I remember is the quick that awed me when I was in the hospital. That quick.

I glanced over at Sean seeing him lean forward in his seat as well and his eyes were wide with surprise. "T-that little shortie was able to jump that fast and hit it....He was..." Sean said not even able to finish his sentence. I chuckled at him finding it amusing.

"That is Hinata Shoyo, my childhood friend." I say proudly.

"That was intense!!" someone shouted up in the stands and I looked around seeing some people stand up and shout in awe. The players of Date Tech were shaken up and confused on what happened.

My eyes narrow slightly seeing that Aoba Johsai uniform across the court. "Hah!" I hear and laughs coming from Sean. "Sora, did you not see that! Your childhood friend just completely messed up his serve!" He said still laughing while some people looked at us.

"Calm down!!" I say shushing him. The Karasuno team and Hinata hear laughs after that serve causing them to look up and pat Hinata on the back, as Shoyo was beet red from embarrassment.

The points from there on were exchanged back and forth with one team getting points and the other catching up. This continued for a good while.

The rotation then chnages where Shoyo was back in the front against #7 Aone. Date Tech sent an attack as the libero of Karasuno dove down and sent it up. Leaving the setter, Kageyama to run back of the court to save it.

"What are they gonna do with th-" A person nearby us got cut off as Kageyama sent his really quick set to Hinata and spiked it. I smirked at the faces of Date Tech. "It was no fluke." I said out and Sean commented. "Definitely not." he said and smirked as well. "Their interesting."

Soon after that Date Tech called for a time out. I watch the players of Date Tech and the coach as they find out a plan to stop Sho-kun. I let out a small laugh and smirk as I tap Sean. "Their faces says it all don't you think?" I ask.

He smirks and leans on his arm. "It says '#10. Beat and stop #10' doesn't it?" he chuckles. I nod my head. "If your too caught up with one, you'll completely miss the others. They'll fall into Karasuno's hands." I say as I watch the teams getting ready.

They get back in play with another quick attack from Sho-kun. 'Their attention is on Sho-kun. Karasuno will probably use Sho-kun a couple more times before they come out with another player that lurks behind Sho-kun.' I thought looking at the layout of the match. 'It'll probably be you.' I say to myself looking at #3, the ace of Karasuno.

"Give it!!" Shoyo yells as he runs up to the net and prepares to jump throwing off Date Tech's block. Shoyo jumps up and spikes the ball. "A normal quick. Tricky." Sean says next to me taking in the plays and observes.

Karasuno does it again this time throwing off the middle blockers of Date Tech but then #7 Aone, moves and jumps a second time blocking the spike. I open my mouth in awe. "He's pretty good." I say admiring the tenacity and ability of Aone.

The game continues and a rally happens where the Libero digs up the blocked spike and sends it back, having three attackers coming to the front. The blockers move and jump blocking Shoyo. I smirk. 'There's no spike, right?' I say seeing the Ace come behind Shoyo and does a back attack.

This point earns them the first set. The two teams switch sides and I look over at the other side of the far court seeing Aoba Johsai warm up. 'They will be the next opponents.'

Getting into their positions, I see that Karasuno moved the line up two players down. "To avoid #7 with your #10, smart move. However, the pressure is on the Ace and the glasses guy. Will he be able to do it?" Sean asks me. I shrug my shoulders. "I have a feeling that it will be okay. But it'll be much harder to score points." I say back.

The game moves on getting points between the two teams, you can definitely see the concentrated block on #3 Asahi. But with Shoyo out on the front they can score more points. Karasuno switches their spikers each spike they get throwing off the middle blockers of Date Tech.

Date Tech calls out for another time out.

"Tweet" the referee calls the players back in to play. Karasuno gets shut down a couple times by the iron wall and the soon the rotation comes with Hinata back in the front. 'Give it to me!" Kageyama covers the ball and sends a quick attack to him landing a point.

'Land as many points as you can Sho-kun!'

1 more till match point I loo back and forth at the ball. The ball landing on the court, saves, receives, spikes.

Hinata and Kageyama do another really quick attack where Aone catches up to Shoyo and the wall does a waterfall.

I watch as Shoyo goes to the back and does his serve. I sigh as I watch it go over to far and out of bounds while Sean ruffles his hair in frustration. Date Tech serves the ball now that Asahi is up at the front and Shoyo goes back to the bench.

Tanaka receives the ball and sets it over back to the other side. Date Tech sets the ball and sends the ball to Aone for an attack. Tanaka goes back to cover it and send sit over to Kageyama. Asahi and Noya the libero start running up to the net ready to make a spike.

Three blockers jump once the ball lands in Asahi's hands. He spikes the ball but the block sends the ball back over to the back of the court, where it's empty. My eyes widen as I see the libero dash over and dig up the ball sending it back. "Cover!"

"Left side one more!" Asahi yells, Kageyama bumps the ball a little to close to the let allowing Aone and Asahi push the ball. Aone having more power in both of hands sent the ball back falling behind Asahi.

I leaned forward in my seat and my eyes widened seeing the skill of the libero. "His foot..." I say shocked. The ball goes back up in the air as the Ace runs back getting his running start. "One more till I get it over!" he yells and Kageyama sets the ball.

"Goo!!!" a group of girls by the banner yells along with two middle aged guys. "GOOO!!" Kararuno teammates go yelling for their Ace. A smile breaks out on my face. 'Things will be just fine.'

Asahi spiked the ball but it flys off of the blockers hands. The ball lands on the top of the net falling down on Date Tech's side. The players were too short of the ball and it fell. The second set finished with 22-25. Date Tech continues to stare at the ball that fell in pure shock.

While Karasuno's Ace yells in victory soon joined in by the rest of their teammates. I smile and Sean speaks up "That was a pretty good match. Who'll they be playing against next?" he asks me and I look down at the paper. "Aoba Johsai." I say and look over at the players that were finishing up another game.

"Thank you for the game!" the players say and line up going in for handshakes. I watch as Aone sticks his hand out to Shoyo for a handshake. I smile at that, 'nice sportsmanship.'

The team made it's way over to the banner where we were close we sitting next to. The two of us got up and clapped as well. The two middle aged men looked back at us and turned their attention back on their players. "Shouldn't you go congratulate your childhood friend?" Sean said as he nudged my arm.

I looked over at him "Should I? I was planning on surprising him when I go to school...But I guess I could do both." The team and the the people by the banner talk for a bit and I turn back to Sean. "Should I do it now or I can go down before their game." I ask him. He rolls his eyes at me and grabs my hand.

"Let's go." he takes me down the stairs to get to their resting point. As we turn around the corner Sean yells "Oi #10!" he calls out as Hinata and the rest of his team mates stop and look at Sean. Hinata blinks at him confused. I pull Sean back, "Oi, Sean. He get's really emotional at times, so it wouldn't be best to make him emotional before they go and face off against Aoba Johsai tomorrow! He'll be all distracted and busy looking else where!" I whisper yell hiding behind the wall.

Sean looks at me before looking back at Hinata and his team, he sighs. "You were really cool out there!" he says covering up his plan, I thought. But then he spoke up "Oh and someone's really proud of you! We'll be watching your next match. Good job Karasuno." he says and gives them a wave.

"Uh Thank you?!" Hinata says with small "Thanks." from the team.

I sigh out as I hear them leave. "Oi, I tell you. If I were to show up at that moment, he might be really happy and excited than the next moment he could cry." I say coming out from behind the wall with my back facing the team. Some members look back to see a girl with brown hair standing in front of the tall male that congratulated them.

I sigh and run a hand through my hair. "Sorry for trying." he says and huffs. I sigh once again. "Thanks, I really appreciate your help and I would really like to meet him like that but maybe after the prelims." I say and give him a side hug.

He sighs and hugs me back. "Fine. Your forgiven.." he says and I let go looking at the pamphlet. I look over at the times and look up.

"Well let's go back up and watch Aoba Joshsai game." I say as we walk down the hall and walk back up the stairs.

_____________________

The all the games for the day finished leaving the rest of the brackets for tomorrow. We walk down the halls and I look up to Sean nudging him. "Before we leave let's stop by the restrooms?" I ask.

He shrugs "I guess I'll go to and wait for you. Let's go and grab another snack when you're done. I'm getting hungry again." he says and I nod my head as we walk towards the nearest bathrooms.

Once I made it to the bathroom there was a relatively long line so I waited a bit and slowly was able to go use the bathroom as I had Sean but so snacks at a nearby vending machine.

I soon finished and wiped my hands on a towel and threw it away as I exited. I looked around to find Sean seeing him leaning against the wall watching something. I walked over to him and tapped him. "Hey-" I was stopped in my sentence when he motioned over to something in front of him.

I looked towards where he was pointing to see Oikawa talking to Ushijima with Iwaizumi. It was quite a sight to see Oikawa frustrated with an irk mark popping out of his head while Iwaizumi blankly stood there.

"Ushiwaka! You better be prepared, I'm going to beat you today!" Oikawa said earning another blunt "Okay." This irked Oikawa even more as you could practically see steam coming off of him. Oikawa huffed, "Bye Moojima!" he said while making a childish face, while Ushijima looked at Oikawa with no change of expression.

"Ok, I'll see you on the courts Oinkawa." Ushijima retorted back with a straight face. As Iwaizumi looked at Ushijima, he held in a laugh but slowly escaping with a "Pffttt."

A/N: (I don't know if you guys have seen the fan comic where this happens, so credits to the owner, I just loved this comic scene. Though sadly I can't find it.)

A snort came out of Sean, as I tried to hold in a laugh, failing miserably. Not being able to hold in my laughter with Sean, we both laughed out loud drawing in their attention. As I continued to laugh I clenched onto Sean's shirt as he held his stomach with tear prickling our eyes.

Calming myself down I wiped my tears that were at the corner of my eyes and hid behind Sean slightly. Once we finally calmed down, we looked back up to see the three of them looking at us. I sweatdropped and heard a "Oh Shit." from Sean. I gulped and I moved beside Sean so they could get a better look at me, giving them a small smile.

"Sorry for laughing like that. Please don't mind us. Good luck on your games you three." I say and bow quickly as I grab Sean's hand and drag him away to the exit.

"Ah that was embarrassing." I say as I stand outside of the venue. "You could say that again."

We both find an empty spot to wait and chill out beside. "Ugh where's Chrissss?" Sean drags out and I look up at the sky. "I know, where's Nakamoto-san????" I say and pull out my phone to see a message from my coach just now.

"Hey Sora, hoped you got a good idea and saw all the types of team that played today. We'll discuss techniques and other stuff later on. You can come back tomorrow to watch the rest of the matches but I won't be there, I have to meet up with some coaches that I've been talking to."

I sigh reading his message and look over at Sean. "Well Sean, I can leave. Nakamoto is talking to some coaches and busy. I'll be back here tomorrow, you still coming?" I ask and he takes out his phone looking at the message he got.

He ruffles his hair. "Yeah, I'll come tomorrow. But Chris, is finishing up his business he says and he won't be out for a while. But I have to wait for him since we share an apartment at them moment and I left the my key back at the place. So I'll see you here tomorrow and I'll meet you right here. Send me the time to come." He says and puts his phone away.

I give him a look of sympathy and nod my head. "Do you wanna spend some time at my place and have Chris pick you up?" I ask but he shakes his head. "Nah. Chris says he'll come out in a few and give me the key, so then I could go but I just got to let him in when he gets back."

I nod my head and give him a short hug "We'll I'll see you tomorrow!" I say and he waves at me as I walk. "Get home safe!" he says this time in English. I chuckle at that. "You too!"

I make my way out of the area and watch as some teams that were left over from the day board their buses or wait out in the parking lot. I make a turn and walk to the bus station.

I wait for a bit and hop on the bus taking the correct route to make it home.

3rd POV

The three boys hear laughter at the side and turn their attention seeing a tale male holding onto him stomach as he laughed with a figure that was somewhat hidden behind him.

Their laughter slowly stopped and looked up at the boys as Iwaizumi, Oikawa, and Ushijima watched them with confused and blank faces. The three of them heard a "Oh shit" from the tall male who was dressed in casual clothes and was unfamiliar to all of them.

The second person behind the taller male, moved off to the side displaying themselves. Showing a pretty girl with mid length brown hair with shinning hazel eyes. She still had a face of amusement but showed calmness. The girl looked very familiar to them.

This girl smiled at them "Sorry for laughing like that. Please don't mind us. Good luck on your games you three." she said quickly and bowed towards them. She then took the tall male's hand and dragged him away down the hall.

"Who was she?" Oikawa questioned out loud at what just happened and the three of them continued to stand there looking where the girl was standing before trying to figure out who she was. "She seems so familiar" Oikawa mumbled as he clenched his chest. "She looks so much like her...." he mumbled out to Iwaizumi.

Iwaizumi nodded slowly and looked back at his captain. "We should go." He said while grabbing his collar and dragging him away to the rest of the team. While Ushijima continued to stare down the hall for a bit longer as his eyes widened remembering looking at a familiar back and smile.

"Akiyama Sora..." he mumbled out as he turned the other eay to get back to his team. "So it seems that your back." Ushijima said under his breath as his eyes glimmered remembering and seeing videos of her back in the U.S. "Interesting" he said as a small amused smile made its way on his face.

Once Iwaizumi dragged Oikawa back to their team, Oikawa grabed Iwaizumi's shoulder. "Wait! Iwa-chan! Were they laughing at me?!!" he asked with a shocked face drawing in the attention of his fellow teammates. Iwaizumi smirked and snickered. "I would think so. Considering that they laughed after that stunt you pulled and how she apologized to us."

Their teammates raised a brow. "Oi Iwaizumi! What happened to Oikawa for him to be so embarrassed like that?" a player with pinkish short hair speaks up, his voice held with mischief as he pointed the their captain. Another third year player with darker drown hair joined in. "Do tell us Iwaizumi!" The whole team looked at Iwaizumi with curious looks and Oikawa held a face of horror.

"Iwa-chan don't you dare tell them!!" Oikawa shouts as he grabs Iwaizumi and shaking him. Iwaizumi grows irk marks hitting Oikawa on the head hard. Causing the teen to fall on the floor.

"So?" the pinkish haired third year pressed on ignoring their setter. Iwaizumi smirked. "We meet up with Ushijima and this idiot here decided to make a full out of himself calling Ushijima names and he retorted back to Oikawa." The team opened their mouths and the third years laughed at the setter's stupidity. While the second years and first years could only sweatdrop at their senior.

"But that not all of it." Iwaizumi says and they stop laughing looking at him to continue. "After they had said that, a tall dude and a girl started laughing at him...So he must've got his ego hurt as he embarrassed himself in front of a girl."

The third years started laughing again and Oikawa cried as he was on the floor. The dark haired third year, Matsun, spoke up "Was this girl cute or something?" he said and the rest of the team looked back at Iwaizumi with anticipation. Oikawa got up slowly from the floor and grabbed a hold of the dark haired third year.

"She was really pretty and her smile was soo cute!! I just embarrassed myself in front of her!!" Oikawa exclaimed with tears coming down his face. While the three other third years started laughing again at his misfortune.

"Dang you blew it with this girl now!" The pink haired boy poked fun. "You guys are soo mean~" Oikawa complained as the coaches took their attention. "Team! That's it for today! Pack up your stuff and we'll head out for the day!"

"Yes!" the boys yelled.
