The Soaring Sparrow of Karasuno

Prologue

Hope, the feeling of expectation and desire for something particular to happen.

Like getting your dream job or passing the school exams...

But in my case,

it was to win

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clapping and cheering was heard from all around the stadium

"Go Sparrows go go go! Go Sparrows go go go!"

After a challenging and brutally tiring 5 sets, both teams were tied. With the oposing team having the match point and it was their time to serve.

I feel the sweat and the fatigue cursing trough my skin as I try to control my breathing, my feet glued to the ground like I was stuck in quicksand

I just had to receive it, that's all I had to do...

and yet...

Whack!

I didn't move an inch...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" My so called captain yelled at me

"All you had to do was a fucking receive and you couldn't even do that?!" She throws me agaisnt one of the walls of our locker room

"I-I'm sorry I-"

Slap!

"You are a disgrace! You're weak! You don't deserve to be in this team!"

Tears weall up in my eyes
feeling the pain on my right cheek as she looks at me with a scoff while my other teammates watched

"And you call yourself a Tanigawa"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I lost all of my hope that day, I felt devastated, empty, as if something had been taken away from me. Like there was no light at the end of the tunel, that I would stay in the dark forever...

I thought it was the end of my story

But only if I knew...

That it was just the beginning...
