Stolen Heart (Haikyuu!!) 【UNDER REVISION】

Karasuno High School Volleyball Club

Hotaru watched amusedly as the two first years were kicked out of the gym with Daichi smacking their forms on their foreheads and she heard the older male say, "Until you have recognized each other as teammates, you won't be allowed to participate in any events of the club."

She stood up and leaned back on the wall with her arms crossed as she waited for the club manager to appear. It was quite noisy outside, especially because of the nonstop whining of the two males.

Hotaru just kept eyeing her surroundings quietly as the senior members of the volleyball club continued their discussion about the first-year duo, asking if it was really okay to ban them from joining the team.

After a while, the door opened, revealing the raven-haired girl from this morning. The bald guy called 'Tanaka' immediately materialized in front of the door, greeting the girl.

The latter just ignored him and walked inside nonchalantly and hanging on her shoulder was a cooler, which was probably intended for the boys' water bottles.

The light-haired male who was the one disciplining Tanaka, went to him as he continued his antics while spouting nonsense, saying how much he liked it when 'Kiyoko-san' ignores him.

In the end, the light-haired male (who Hotaru doesn't know the name of) slammed the gym's door shut in front of the younger teens' faces who were outside.

Finally. Hotaru internally sighed as she walked up to Kiyoko who was preparing things which were needed by the club.

"Excuse me," she called out to the bespectacled female who looked up at her, quite surprised at her sudden appearance.

"I filled up the paper this morning. I hope you don't mind me coming when you have your hands full." Hotaru held out the slightly crumpled paper form to Kiyoko with both hands, who was obviously glad at the sight of it.

The senior girl reached out for it with two hands, smiling widely at Hotaru. The younger tucked some of her shoulder-length, dark brown hair with streaks of blonde, behind her ear. Her golden-brown, doe-like eyes roamed while waiting for a response.

"Thank you. Do you want to start right away or tomorrow? Next week will do too if you want." Hotaru pondered over the offer for a moment before deciding.

"I'll start tomorrow then. Club activites are after classes right?" Kiyoko smiled a bit before shaking her head. "There is also practice in the morning at 7am. So, you can come if you want and assess the things happening here."

Hotaru nodded. "Alright. By the way senpai, this is late but I'm sorry for the late introduction. I'm Hoshizawa Hotaru from class 4 year 1." She bowed before standing back up with her head held high.

"I'm Shimizu Kiyoko, a third year. Sorry for not introducing myself to tou earlier." Kiyoko held out a hand which Hotaru shook gently. "You're tall for a first year. What's your height, Hotaru-chan?"

Pursing her lips, Hotaru replied as she placed her hand beside her again, "Probably in 171cm or something. I don't know. I'm self-conscious when it comes to my height."

Kiyoko was about to reply that there was nothing to feel so conscious about herself and it actually fits her built but she was interrupted by Tanaka who was ogling at how there was another prettt girl besides his 'beloved Kiyoko-san'.

"Oh, Shimizu, you found a first year who'll be a manager?" Kiyoko nodded at the question of the light-haired male after he smacked Tanaka's head, after scolding him about how he was scaring Hotaru away. Soon, there was a small crowd forming around Kiyoko and Hotaru.

"I'm Sugawara Kõshi. Karasuno's main setter. What's your name?" The light-haired senior smiled at Hotaru amiably.

"I'm Hoshizawa Hotaru from Class 1-4. It's nice to meet all of you today. I hope you'll take care of me from tomorrow onwards." The first year girl bowed, before flashing a small, shy smile towards the boys.
