The Little Dragon / Haikyuu!!

Rolling Thunder

"Rolling....Thunder!" Nishinoya Yû shouted as he performed a rolling receive the next day, near the end of practice. He said he was just going to teach Hinata how to do receives, but at this rate, it was clear to Reo that all he wanted to do was be back in the team.

"Uh. Well okay then." Suga spoke, underwhelmed, as Tanaka pointed towards the Libero and cackled.

"Come on dude, it's just a rolling receive. No need for the dramatics."

The first years began snickering a little at him too, but tried their best to hide it whilst Reo slowly sarcastically applauded him.

"What did he yell for?" Kageyama whispered to Reo, to which she shrugged.

"You better watch your mouths first year brats or you're gonna regret it. I'll make you do laps- no! Push ups. You know what? Whatever you hate most, I'm gonna make you do!" He shouted in frustration as he balled his fists at his side.

"That was so cool!" Hinata walked towards him, "Teach me the Rolling Thunder too!"

Kageyama and Reo looked at each other and smiled at the commotion, until Takeda Sensei burst into the gymnasium.

"Take five guys! Guess what, great news!" He announced with a grin. Everyone gathered around him waiting for him to elaborate.

"So the golden week training camp- we're all going this year, aren't we?"

'Are we?' Reo thought to herself, 'I've never even heard of that before.'

"Yeah. All of us can surely benefit from the practice." Said Daichi.

"That's excellent. Because in the last day of said training camp...I've arranged us a practice game!" He threw his fist up in the air in delight as everyone began to chatter with excitement.

"Who are we playing?" Reo asked.

"Nekoma High school. They're in Tokyo. People describe them as... cat like."

"So they're pussies?" Noya whispered to Reo, nudging her in the ribs as she scoffed at his joke.

Reo over heard Tanaka explaining to a wide eyed Hinata that their old coach and Nekomas coach used to be friends, so they used to do practice matches with them all the time.

"I'll explain all the details later." Takeda spoke with a hand rested on his hip, "In short, I found out that they were our adversary, and then I just had to stage a rematch."

"Well this is great for me," Reo clapped her hands together, smiling. "More people for me to threaten." She picked up her bag and began heading for the door.

The team were planning on having a longer practice than normal the next day in preparation for the match against Nekoma. She wondered what Nekomas team were like now, and if they were stealthier than them- since they were apparently like 'cats'. In turn, she told herself she needed to get a good amount of sleep that night.

Did she get lots of sleep? No. And that was evident the next morning as she stumbled into the gymnasium with messy hair and bags under her eyes. Noya took one look at her and frowned in disproval.

"Sorry i'm late, my alarm didn't go off." She mumbled, swiping the air as if excusing herself.

"Maybe it's time to get a new alarm clock." Tsukishima recommended bluntly.

"Nah it works fine, I just didn't set it." She threw the closest ball to her at the blonde male.

"She's still not sleeping well?" Noya whispered to himself from across the room.
