His secret.. (continued on ao3)

Chapter 13

Shoyo stood up and started walking. He didn't know were he was going, he just wanted to go.

After some time he was able to leave the field and started walking on a grey pathway.

"grey grey grey.." he kept repeating. Step by step he kept his focus only on his feet, not disturbed by anything.

There was nobody nearby, so it was quiet. The only sounds you could hear were the chirps of birds, and the wind blowing.

He was completely aware that he needed food, and treatment, but he just couldn't run. He ran for hours on end... so of course he can't run!

But his urge to pass out was so strong. So he knew he had to hurry up.

He bent down on the pathway, and took a deep breath. "I can do this, if I don't do this.. I will die." Shoyo whispered. Shoyo stood up and started walking while his train of thoughts took over him.

He knew very damn well that he'd have a very limited time apologizing to his friends, seeing Natsu and burying his mother. I mean, if someone sees him he'll go straight to jail. Or even a mental institution..

And he knew it was going to be hard finding food and treatment, and a new pair of clothes.

But aside of all the downfalls, he wanted to do this. All he wants to do is make things better.

But he needs to get better first.

Kageyama pov:

It had been 2 days since Shoyo killed those officers right in front of our eyes.

It had been 2 days since he ran off.

It had only been 2 two days.

I was broken from my thoughts when my mom opened my door.

"Hey tobio... it's time to go." She said softly.

My mom forced me to go into counselling after what I saw. I mean your mindset can't be right after witnessing murder, especially if it's your friend who did it.

I also know that it's a group therapy, with everyone close with Shoyo. (Who saw it happen).

Me, the team, Yume, the coaches and even some other classmates were there.

We mostly talked about our emotions and what we felt when we saw it. Of course Yume never got to see it, since she almost got killed.

Yume was traumatized, she hated that her best friend tried to kill her, and it crushed her even more when they told her what happened after that.

Then we talked about Shoyo.

"If you ever saw Shoyo again, what would you say to him?" The counsellor asked.

The room went silent, some people hesitated, nishinoya just stared down.

"I'd ask him what happened." Someone said.

We all turned to the voice who spoke and it was none other than Yume.

She had a serious face on, one who was genuinely concerned.

"I've watch many documentary's of murderers, and they've either went through trauma, or even just psycho... sometimes both. But one things for sure, Shoyo is not a psycho."

The room fell silent once more. But our expressions changed.

"I never fought of that.." I spoke, "I mean... these past few months he's been so different, yet the same. I mean we know about his mom, and his past, and that he.. he um got.." I hesitated, "he got um y'know.. but is that really what made him do it?"

We sighed.

"Man I just wanna hug him!" nishinoya spat out in tears.

"Yeah despite what he did, there is probably a reason.. and I wanna help him!" Suga spoke out.

"He's definitely a good guy!!" A classmate said.

"I've known him since last year, he would never do it and mean it after!" A black haired girl shouted.

And just like that, the room filled with smiles and tears of sadness, or even joy. Ideas of what happened, and how to help Shoyo. Speeches of forgiveness and a calm tension around them.

"Damn these kids really defending a murderer.." Ukai said.

"SHUT UP!" yume spat out.... On Ukai.

Oikawa pov:

We were just in the gym practicing for one of our upcoming games against karasuno when coach Nobuteru bursted through the doors.

"GUYS, have you seen the news yet?" He yelled out with obvious stress.

"Dude, who even watches the news anymore?" Iwaizumi spat out.

"No, we haven't.. what's going on?" I politely asked.

"You, you know karasuno's number 10?" Coach added.

"Hinata-kun? Yeah what about him?"

"He, he's a murderer.. 7 or more kills..? I don't know.." coach suddenly spoke.

The room fell quiet.

"He's wanted now, obviously, but someone said they saw him near our area... so keep your eyes peeled." Coach said.

"WHAT THE HELL??" Hanamaki yelled out. "He, he what??" Hanamaki said with distress in his voice.

"No, no fucking way that was Hinata... Just what..?" Kindaichi finally blurted out.

"Look we won't be playing against karasuno next week, for very obvious reasons, but please note that the investigation is still on... and anything you find is valuable."

We stood there once again shocked.

Hinata, our rival... Hinata our friend...

Kenma pov:

We were all in the gym hanging out before our practice started when something popped up on my feed.

-𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒓 𝑩𝒂𝒅? 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒑𝒔𝒚𝒄𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒚𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒂, 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅-

I stopped right there and dropped my phone, almost the same time Kuroo gasped.

"Kenma, kuroo, everything alright? You guys look mortified.." lev asked.

"I-I was just on my feed when.. I saw Shoyo.." I barely managed to say anything when kuroo interrupted.

"Hinata is a psychopath.. H-Hinata is a psychopath.." kuroo said.

"Huh? What the hell do you mean?" Yaku interrupted.

"It said he killed 7 people.." I said as I picked up my phone.

"Bro what!? The hell is this chain mail..? Stop freaking me out.." Fukunaga said.

"It's not a joke, it's real and all over the news." coach said as he walked through the doors.

"W-what..?" Lev gasped out.

"Surprised you don't know yet, he's like wanted everywhere. Kid's a maniac." Coach added.

The room fell silent.

This can't be true..
