Strong-Willed (Haikyuu Fanfiction)

Lost in The Jungle

Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium

Miu squinted her eyes hoping to get a grip. She looked around and felt like getting dizzy with all the people gathered around the place. By now, the most horrible thing she could think of is having her name announced in the P.A system. Just a while ago, she was with Washijo and the rest of the team. Since she is not a manager, she isn't allowed to enter the court. She promised to contact the old man as soon as the games are over. She left her bag on the bus and her phone was in there as well. 

Everyone in the place wearing a uniform has an intimidating presence. For a while, Miu forgot that she has a problem. All of them showed determination to win the game. If she can root for all of them, she will do so. She caught a glimpse of a uniform and remembered that she knew someone from another school. The school's name printed on the uniform made her follow the person. 

Why is he walking too fast?

Miu tried to go faster. She can hear herself breathing deeply. Finally, she was able to grab the sleeve of his jacket. She curled trying to catch her breath and looked at the floor. "Hmm? Is this someone else's sister? Are you missing?", she heard a Kansai accent and her hope rose. She raised her head and saw an unfamiliar face. It was a pretty boy with a straight face. It was definitely not Kita. "Who?", she was confused and stepped back. She was still holding on to his sleeve. Atsumu paused for a while and knelt down. "I don't know how old are you now but I don't mind dating you", he offered his hand. He looked exactly like the ash-grey head but they do emit a different kind of aura. She hid behind Osamu and agreed it was the safest thing to do. "Heh, you're a creep. She's even trembling in fear of you now", Osamu looked down on his twin. "She's just shy to see a pretty big brother. Say, there's no one as cool as me around your age, right?", Atsumu stood and brushed his hair with his slender fingers. 

"I don't think we're that far in age. I'm 15", Miu felt like correcting the misunderstanding. Atsumu froze. "Will you marry me?!", his brain wasn't able to function well upon hearing such a soft and gentle voice. Miu tightened her grip on Osamu's sleeve. "Who would marry an idiot like you?", Osamu looked at his brother as if he were a disgusting bug crawling on the ground. Aran saw the two causing commotion and decided to interfere as early as possible. "Why don't we ask her? If you are to choose, is it me or this idiot?", Osamu asked without looking at the girl. "Kita-san", Miu uttered. "Of course. No one beats Kit-", Osamu was startled that she mentioned the name. Miu uttered the name upon seeing Kita with the rest of Inarizaki. Aran decided to call the captain since he is not confident of his own strength in dealing with the twins. 

Miu lets go of Osamu and ran towards Kita. She tripped but landed on Kita's arm. "Kita-nii. I'm so happy to run to you", Miu's eyes turned teary. She explained the situation. "Players stay in the waiting room. If it's Shiratorizawa, they're probably in room #4", Kita explained. Miu bowed and went where Kita instructed her to go. 

"Kita-san", Atsumu bowed very low. "May you allow this lowly man who fell in love at first sight to know her name", Atsumu begged. "With who?", Kita looked at Osamu. "The girl you were talking to a while ago", Osamu shrugged. "Miu?", Kita said her first name. "What is her relationship with you, Kita-san?", Atsumu raised his head. "She's my cousin", Kita said then continued walking. "Miu. Its fate that brought us together", Atsumu lifted his face and looked at the high ceiling. 

A few hours after...

Atsumu went into the hallways and spread his glances. "Dear Miu, I still haven't told you my name", the yellow banana ignored the girl taking a photo of her. She finally spotted her. "Target lock on", he was about to charge but Osamu grabbed his neck. "You're walking into your own grave", Osamu shook his head. "What?! It's not like you're interested in her as well", Atsumu pouted. 

Atsumu heard the girl laughing and it sent jitters all over his body. He looked upfront and saw a brightened expression from the lady just to be crashed into pieces by the sight of another male species. "Why? Why?", Atsumu felt weak on his knees. 

"Omi, you're still the same as ever. When we were younger, you would complain whenever I tried to hug you. How is your mother doing?", Miu asked. "She's still working in the hospital. If you're allowed to be in this crowd, that means you're already feeling better", Sakusa slightly bent to check on the color of her skin. It's been 5 years since she last saw him. He grew so tall and his presence seemed different. She felt conscious and distant a bit. "Make sure to eat your vegetables and sleep a lot", Sakusa advised and started walking away. "Uhm, see you around", Miu gave a nervous smile. 

"Sana, we're going back to the hotel", Ujishima called the lady. " Ushijima-san. You won again", Miu walked with him. "Was that Kiyoomi from Itchiyama?", Ujishima stared at the germaphobe walking away. "He's my childhood friend. His mother is my doctor and we spent a lot of time in the hospital", Miu informed. 

Aran was startled to see foam coming out of Atsumu's mouth. "What happened?!", the half-blood panicked and looked for Kita. "You're competing against two of the top three aces. Good luck getting your ass beaten both in Volleyball and in stealing that girl's attention", Osamu delivered a finishing blow. "He's no longer breathing", Aran checked on his pulse. 

Shiratorizawa had to go home the next day after losing.

Aoba Josai

After Class- Gymnasium

"Hm, so Ushiwaka bit the dust during the quarter-finals", Oikawa laughed sinisterly. "Rephrase that idiot", Iwa kicked his back. "Sorry to ask but is that your new member?", Miu pointed at Kyoutani acting aloof on the side. "He was suspended for a while", Kindaichi answered.

Miu was in charge of dostributing vest and helping the first year prepare drinks. The ball came slamming next to her. "My apologies, little lamb", Oikawa went to get the ball. "Mad dog, learn to control your power. It'll go out", Oikawa said with a playful tone. Miu was stunned with the impact of the powerful spike. It nearly match Ujishima's spikes. "Its a cheap copy of Ushiwaka's spike", Iwa seemed to read Miu's mind. She flinched and looked at the man preparing to receive Kyoutani's serve.

After the training, Oikawa offered to walk Miu home since its already getting dark.

Bus

"We're just few meters away from your house. Iwa-chan and I can just sprint it for 3 minutes", Oikawa assured while sitting next to Miu. "It's a freaking 10 kilometers, Trashykawa", Iwa's eyes twitched. "Sorry that you were dragged along", Miu bowed her head. "Its fine. You're doing us a favor anyways", Iwa looked away. "Heh, Iwa-chan can have a proper conversation with a girl?", Oikawa was intrigued.

Washijo's Residence

Terano opened the door and blinked few times. "Little la- Sana-chan helped us during our practice so we walked her home", Oikawa bowed. Terano looked at the pretty looking man. Iwaizumi stayed behind the wall waiting for his idiotic best friend. "Be careful on your way, Oikawa-san. Iwaizumi-san", Miu waved.

Terano couldn't even say a word. "They're upperclassmen from Aoba Josai", Miu explained. "Your grandpa will explode if he saw those two", Terano chuckled.
