Warning! This is part two of two, so I'd recommend reading part one first!

Note: I don't know which comes first in Hinata's timeline, Brazil or Black Jackals, so just roll with it...


 Three whole years had passed since I last physically saw Shoyo Hinata. One year had passed without him even messaging me, I always had to be the one to initiate. In high school he promised me we would stay best friends forever, but it seemed as though that was not the case. All I wanted was for him to start a conversation, ask how I was doing and actually seem interested in meeting up with me but all those promises about never being apart from each other he'd made all those years ago and clearly slipped through his fingertips.

What hurt even more was that it was a third party who told me he was moving to Brazil. Not only that but I didn't even get to see him before he left, despite asking if he fancied meeting up. He'd agree, we'd organise something and then the day before he'd cancel and that was the way it went until his departure.

Shoyo having actually left Japan made it somewhat easier to forget about him. I wasn't going to get hung up over someone who wasn't bothered about messaging me to catch up, let alone seeing me physically. My high school crush for him had long gone as well, and I decided instead to focus on my own volleyball career.

I had been scouted by many clubs, my worth climbing higher and higher until I became recognised by teams in Division One. I was twenty three now, and becoming one of the most recognised players in women's volleyball. I was in the process of moving teams, and my agent and I finally settled on the team that was offering the most: MSBY Black Jackals. I had played against them in the past and felt blessed to be recognised by them, as they were one of the best teams on the circuit. They also had a mens team that were in Division One of their league, but I only focussed on the girls.

I was now stood outside their dedicated stadium, ready to meet the manager and coach. I was a little nervous, keen to impress. Two women dressed in expensive looking suits came out of the stadiums main entrance and approached me with welcoming smiles. "Miss (l/n), welcome to MSBY Black Jackals," the coach who I knew was called Toka Yada held out her hand.

"(y/n), please," I smiled and shook her outstretched hand.

"I'm very glad to have you join our team. This is our manager, Meg Kataoka," she introduced me to the lady next to her, who's hand I also shook. "Shall we?"

"Yes of course, I'm very grateful to be here," I said and the two of us made small talk as we entered the building.

"I'll show you around the stadium before we head to the practice grounds. You've met most of the girls already I assume, through the circuit?" Yada asked and I nodded.

"That's right, I've played against most of them and even with some of them in the lower divisions. It'll be nice to see them again," I said.

"These here are our pride and glory," Yada gestured to a large cabinet along one of the corridors, it being filled with trophies, medals and certificates. "The girls team was founded in 1990, so we've done very well to collect this many medals."

"It is one of the best teams in the circuit," I said and Yada nodded.

"This is the mens cabinet here. They have a few more achievements than we do, but they've been going longer than us. We hope to catch up with them soon," Yada smiled, clenching her fist. I looked in the cabinet briefly but had to do a double take when I saw a very recognisable face. "(y/n)? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah... Shoyo Hinata, he plays for the mens team?" I asked and she nodded.

"He was a recent recruit I believe, just back from Brazil," she said and fury swept through me. 'He's back from Brazil and he didn't even contact me?' "Why, do you know him?"
