Ren's P.O.V:

"Greet your opponents!" Daichi-san yelled as we all bowed down, choiring "let's have a good game!" I continued to walk inside with Yamaguchi-san and Tsukishima-kun, until Hinata-san started making a big fuss and started running towards the doors. Deciding to follow him to see what was up, I quickly ran towards him to catch up. "Kenma!"

A familiar blonde kid turned around and looked at the ginger first year. After a while of looking at him, I thumped a fist into an open palm. "Oh, Kenma!" I shouted to myself, as I caught up to my fellow first year.

"Y-y-you're from Nekoma?! Why didn't you tell me?" Hinata-san sulked as I sighed tiredly. "You really need to slow down, Hinata-san." Kenma looked up at me, since we we're almost the same height, and then averted his gaze downwards. "You didn't ask."

"B-but you said 'until the next time we meet' "

"Karasuno was written on both of your shirts."

Hinata-san then gave a blank look at Kenma, before turning to me. I lifted a hand and smiled warmly as a welcome. "I'm afraid we haven't met... I'm Yoshida Ren."

Kenma quickly looked at the ginger then shook my hand gently. "Kozume...Kenma..."

"Ah, Kozume-san! I hope we can become friends." I grinned like an idiot, nerve racking the Nekoma member. I mean, they don't know I'm a girl right now, which makes it less awkward than it would be.

"You can call me Kenma-"

"Oi, oi. What business do you have with our setter?" A scary voice said, creeping out from behind the blonde, most probably from Nekoma. "Hold on...-" Kenma started, before getting interrupted by Hinata-san, who seemed to be scared out of his wits, "s-sorry!"

Right then, Tanaka-senpai came to our rescue... Or so he thought. "Right back at you. What business might you have with our first years?"

I backed up with Hinata-san, and hit into Asahi-san. "You wanna rumble, city boy?"

"What the hell was that?"

Sugawara-san then hopped in and stopped Tanaka-senpai. Another one from Nekoma stopped the other look-alike as well. "Sorry, he is pretty embarrassing."

"I'm sorry too." Sugawara-san smiled hesitantly, as the other Tanaka started to freak out and run off. It was something about bread, but I was too busy trying to incorporate how much that dude looked like Tanaka-senpai.

"How do you guys know that guy from Nekoma?" Kageyama asked us, and got an answer from Hinata-san almost immediately. "I met him by accident while I was running,"

"I met him while looking for Hinata-san."

Kageyama nodded in disappointment. "H-He said he was their setter."

"Setter?!"

--

"I'm looking forward to the match," Daichi-san shook a familiar persons hand. "I'm looking forward to the match as well."

What was his name again...? Kura, karu, karo, kuro-

I gasped in realization, making everyone look at me weirdly, "Kuroo!"

"What a weird kid..." The Tanaka look-alike said, angering me the slightest. "Oh? If you're out for revenge, I suggest going over to our manager and flirting with her." A certain blonde suggested, making me raise an eyebrow in confusion. "Sorry?"

"I mean, the Tanaka creep seems to like our manager, and the only one she'll talk to is you."

"Oh... I get it now!" I grinned, as everyone got up and in place.

Mental note: Thank Tsukishima-kun if this goes well.

"Let's go!" Daichi-san called, having us get into a circle. We we're discussing our team line up, until I got distracted by the other team's speech. "We are the body's blood, flow smoothly, and circulate oxygen, so the brain functions normally. Let's do this!"

"Osu!"

Eh, how cool.

"Kuroo, can you stop with that? It's kind of embarrassing-"

"Let's do this!" Our captain called, making me snap back into our own play. "Osu!" We all yelled, as they got into lineup, and we, non-regulars, went to the back. I took this chance to talk to the coach, and it didn't seem like he was busy with anything at all. "Coach Ukai-kun?"

He turned to me, "why was I included in the speech thingy? I mean, I'm not part of the team." The coach then sighed and looked at the formations that took place. "I asked Sensei Nekomata if a female like you could play a pinch server or something." He gave a dark laughter, "he said yes... That team is underestimating us. They think that it wouldn't make a difference."

I then scooched over to the side awkwardly, only to sit next to Yamaguchi-san. Yeah, I wasn't really upset that I could play; it was almost the exact opposite. "Coach Ukai said you can play?!" Yamaguchi-san said, as his eyes lit up. "Yeah, but only as a pinch server."

The freckled boy shook his head, "no, no, Yoshida-san! Your float serves are amazing!" He complimented, making my face heat up. "N-not really...-"

"You need to teach me how later, okay, Yoshida-san?" I gave a nervous smile, before nodding. "S-sure... I mean, I don't really know how I did it. It was like gwaah and then pow."

The match started off with Karasuno taking the first two points. We had a total of three points ahead, until the other team called everyone in.

"Coach Ukai-kun... Is everything alright?" I questioned, after noticing his worried look. "Something feels off..."

"And what could that be?" Takeda-sensei asked, as coach Ukai-kun resends his chin in the palm of his hand. "I don't know." The match then started up once again, this time, with the other teams number 7 one touching Hinata-san's spike.

"Did he just..?" Yamaguchi-san nodded to my comment, "I think they're following Hinata." Sugawara-san then came from behind us, rubbing the back of his head. "Ah, this is bad..."

I sighed, smirking, which caused Yamaguchi-san and Sugawara-san to look at me weirdly. "Kenma-san's not called 'the brains' for nothing."

"Kenma-san?"

"Their setter," the platinum blonde answered to Yamaguchi-san's question. "Kenma-san's cool!" I said loudly to Ukai-kun, who nodded and sighed. I guess the entire court heard me, and it fired both teams up. "Kenma is cool!" Hinata-san excitedly grinned, as the blonde setter awkwardly shifted.

"But Kageyama's cooler." I stated confidently, exciting Tanaka-senpai and Noya-senpai. "Yeah, yeah, Kageyama's the coolest!" Our bald number 5 exclaimed as the other dude who looked like Tanaka frowned. "What was that you bastard?? Kenma's the coolest!" I leaned back and flinched.

Bastard???

"Oho, he is so going down." I laughed softly to myself, as Yamaguchi-san tried to calm me down. Soon, it became Nekoma's set point, and to be honest, it made me the most nervous... I think...

Kageyama then sets the ball to Hinata-san. Their freak like quick. But the other team's number 7 blocked it, and won the set. Tsukishima-kun eventually got to the bench, and we watched the match closely, as little by little, our ultimate decoy was losing his spirit.

"Nice work, Tsukishima-kun." I gave a thumbs up, as he rolled his eyes. "Nice, Tsukki! You did great." And with that, the blonde megane nodded slightly, and he looked towards the coach. "You're probably wondering why I'm not switching out Hinata."

The middle blocker sighed slightly, "not really..." I placed my head down on my hands, and sighed as Hinata-san was blocked another time. "Hinata-san will be okay right? He seems... more down than usual."

Suddenly, the ginger first year raised his head and smiled, shocking the entire court.

"He..."

"...smiled?" Yamaguchi-san added onto Sugawara-san's sentence. "It's different somehow... Up until now, I feared being blocked. But it's different. Every time I see him in front of me, I get thrilled," Hinata-san spoke, as he looked at Kageyama. "Because I know we will find away to get around them. So, toss to me again."

Kageyama nodded, as he also replied back, "of course." Our raven haired setter then sets it to our decoy, but he missed it, putting everyone on our side into chaos.

"Hinata looked at the toss!"

"Isn't that a normal thing?" Yamaguchi-san asked Sugawara-san as he panicked. "Up until now, Hinata just swings and believes the ball will come. He's believed in Kageyama."

"Uh- um... T-t-time out!!" The coach stuttered, as they stopped. "K-Kageyama! I-indirect delivery! Give Hinata a toss that almost floats." Kageyama nodded to the coach, and continued the match.

--

A few tosses later, it seemed as if Hinata-san was getting the hang of it. "A-amazing!" I gasped under my breath, after Hinata-san curved the ball around the blockers arms. Sadly, it was out, and it started to annoy me quite a bit.

24-23

"The next ones a deuce..." Sugawara-san started, before having sensei finish off what it meant. The other team's libero hit it over side to our net, so it was a chance ball. "Asahi, use a direct!" Ukai-kun screams, as our ace hits it down to a member once again.

"We're doomed." I groaned, as I was immediately wronged when it came around again. Hinata-san spiked it this time, around the blocker. A member received it, and then the Tanaka dude did, but it went backwards.

It's a deuce.

I grinned, before my eyes widened to Kenma who had received it. Noya-senpai missed it by a second, resulting in Nekoma, winning the match. I messed up my hair, "agh, They were so close!" Yamaguchi-san sighed tiredly, "they were."

"It was a complete defeat." Takeda-sensei sulked, as the coach took a view of Nekoma, who had been celebrating. "We used the strongest of our team, and our 'weapon' worked perfectly. But we still couldn't beat them."

"O-One more game!"

--

The second game resulted in a loss as well, both sets lost in a deuce. We played another game, and this time, in the second set, the coach decided to call me in as a pinch server.

"Hit a nice serve, Yoshida-san!" I smirked as I looked at my team, clenching the ball tightly. "Go Yoshida-kun!" Hinata-san smiled, as Tanaka-senpai turned to the other team. "You guys just wait!" He pointed, as he was supposedly trying to show me off like a piece of artwork. But instead of artwork, it was trash.

Ah, you just wait, you Tanaka look alike.

I threw it up in the air, and hit it in a spike like way, floating over the net. "Is that... a float serve?!" A dude, I think was from the neighborhood association gazed in shock, as the ball floated towards my target.

"Go, Yamamoto!" The captain yelled, as Yamamoto grinned idiotically. "I got it-!" His word we're disrupted by the ball jerking back in air, and hitting the floor.

"Aha! Take that you Tanaka-senpai wannabe; you turd!" I laughed, as I spoke words that I thought, and immediately regretted them afterwards. The entire court bursted into laughter, and so did the coaches. "Take that!" Tanaka-senpai almost died of laughter, and Tsukishima-kun started to snicker out of nowhere.

The other team's captain, Kuroo, patted the wing spiked on the back. Since he was a bit too embarrassed. Kenma-san lightly chuckled as well, but he hid it, like a nice teammate.

I served it again, this time to Kuroo, who surprisingly hit it, but it ended up out of bounds. "Sorry!" He smiled to Kenma-san, who had given him a disappointed look. The next one I hit went to Yamamoto again, but I think I hit it too hard, and it hit him in the face, returning it to their libero. They scored a point, which soon became the entire game, leaving everyone exhausted, and leaving Karasuno with no sets won.
