Kageyama POV

A few weeks passed by in a flash and Hiroto has been on everyone's minds. He has quite a fast rebound time. Even though he's short he's fast and strong.

" Over here I'm open!"

" On your left!"

" Cover me!"

" Rebound!"

I quickly jumped and spiked the ball only for Hiroto to rebound it and send it right back. I growled and tried again but every time I spiked the ball, he'd rebound and earn a point.

" Wow! You're so cool Hiroto!" Nishinoya said while smacking him on the back. He gave him a smile and sent another serve.

Three months later and we're in our first preliminary round. Not to mention just our luck we were paired with Aoba Johsai High school.

" Kageyama a word?" I saw Oikawa signaling me to go to him. I sighed and walked over to him.

" It seems you got a new teammate?" I nodded. " Ya, hard to believe?" I said and he shrugged his shoulders. " Not really but what's surprising is that they gave him number 10." I felt my eyes widen and quickly looked over seeing him in Hinata's jersey...except the name had been changed. " Why the hell is he wearing his number?!" I started trembling and felt tears fill my eyes again. " Hey it's alright..." Oikawa said and wrapped his arms around me. " It might just be a misunderstanding." I hesitantly hugged him back before pulling away and walking over to Sawamaru and glared at him before yanking him to the side.

" Before you even say it...I know...It's the only other number for right now. Please it hurts me just as much as it does you." I growled and felt the tears finally fall down my cheeks. " YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL!! I WAS THE CLOSET ONE OUT OF ALL OF US TO HIM!! AND YET HERE YOU ARE! QUICK TO REPLACE HIM!!!" He looked at me and tried to pull me into a hug. " I can't do this! I can't play knowing someone else is wearing his number! It hurts too much!! I only stayed on the team for him to keep his dream alive...but I can't do it!! I can't do this!!" I broke down and slid down the wall my hands covering my eyes.

" Kageyama...it's going to be okay...I promise!" I growled and screamed at him. " STOP SAYING EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY!! BECAUSE ITS NOT!! THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS DEAD AND HIS JERSEY IS BEING WORN BY SOMEONE UNWORTHY OF IT!!" He looked down. " I'm sorry..."

The referee blew his whistle and I quickly wiped my eyes before running out to join my team on the court.
