A/N: This chapter is going to be in third person limited (focusing on Hinata/Emma ). I mainly started writing this to practice writing dialogue, so I need to do both 1st and 3rd, no 2nd. Sorry if it's a little confusing with the pov change.

A/N: Trigger Warning: Panic Attack (I'll put bold letters before this part and highlighted words when it ends.)
Karasuno watches as the new player enters the room. Each step echoing in the silence. "Oikawa, you're back." a voice from the other team reveals the identity of the mystery person.
"How's the ankle?" The coach asks. Kageyama's eyes were glued to Oikawa.
"It's fine. I can get back to regular practice. It was just a slight sprain." Oikawa states after taking his eyes off of Kageyama.
"For crying out loud! Be careful. You're the one that asked to play against Kageyama. What do we do without our official setter? It's embarrassing." The coach responds to Oikawa, frustration in his voice.
"I'm sorry." Oikawa puts his hand to the back of his head.
"Oikawa-san, take care of yourself!" Girls squeal in the stands, angering Tanaka.
"Kageyama-kun, who's that nice guy? I find him unpleasant." Tanaka faces Kageyam with frustration.
"He's the captain of Seijoh." Daichi answers in place of Kageyama.
"Oikawa-san is a super aggressive setter. His attack power is also probably among the top of his team." Kageyama joins the conversation. If Kageyama acknowledges his abilities then...he must be crazy good. "And he's got a terrible personality."
"You're saying that!" Hinata exclaims.
"Maybe even worse than Tsukishima."
"He must be really bad."
"Do you know him from Kitagawa Daiichi?" Tanaka asks, still staring at Oikawa.
"Yes. He was my senior in junior high." If Oikawa was a senior of the king, then he must be amazingly good making him the Great King! Hinata's eyes sparkle while looking at Oikawa.
"Yoohoo~! Long time no see, Tobio-chan." Oikawa turns to face Kageyama with a friendly wave and smile. "So nice to see you. You still doing the King thing?" He asks casually.
Kageyama turns and faces us again. "I learned serving and blocking by watching him play. His skills are extremely high." If Kageyama learned by watching Oikawa then he is most likely better than Kageyama. "But we have to focus on the match now. We're going to win the final set for sure." Kageyama must've seen the worry in my face.
Karasuno and Aoba Johsai continue playing while Oikawa warms up. Then, it reaches set point. Only one more point before we beat the fourth ranked team in the prefecture. "Don't get cocky!" Kindachi says as he spikes, scoring a point. Afterwards the Great King gets subbed in. Hinata takes a deep breath. He can still beat him.
"No matter how strong your offense is... it means nothing if you can't connect to it." Oikawa does a jump serve. It was clear how strong it is from the speed of the ball. The ball goes directly to Tsukishima. The ball richotes off his arms almost hitting two people in the bleachers. "Just as I thought. I watched part of the match... You, Number 6, and you, Number 5... you're not good receivers, are you? You must be first-years." He was able to deduct that in such little time. His analyizing skills are incredible, considering everything. Being able to find a targets weakness is important, Norman taught me that. Oikawa goes for another serve and aiming for Tsukishima again. Hinata may not like Tsukishima, but he feels kinda bad for him. But why isn't he aiming for me. "Hey, you, Great King! Aim at me! I'll receive it! Aim here! Don't underestimate me! Aim here!" Hinata shouts across the court.
