Other Ways to Fly~ Haikyuu x OC

Seijoh Once Again

After the team changed out of their uniform, they decided to watch Seijoh's match. They flinched when Oikawa served and got the fourth service ace in a row.

"The worst part is, we know nothing about him as a setter." Suga said.

Himari tilted her head side to side and nodded. It's true that she knew Oikawa pretty well, but he was always practicing and improving, so it was hard to really say good how he was.

"The thing about Tooru is that no matter what team he plays on, he can always bring out the best in players." Himari said as she focused on the game.

Ukai looked at her and nodded before looking back at the game, "He is able to bring out a hundred percent of their potential, it's insane."

"I want to play against him!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Me too, I hope he aims one of those serves at me!" Noya also said.

The game ended with Seijoh winning. The Karasuno team got up and left. They headed out to the bus and once all the players were settled into their seats, they fell asleep.

"That was tiring." Himari said as she leaned against Kiyoko who smiled and fixed the clips in her hair.

"We won in straight sets though, so that's good." Ukai replied.

Once they reached the school, they got out of the bus and were about to head in to discuss the plan for day two when a faculty member rushed out.

"You kids have got to see this! Get in here, the volleyball club is on television!"

That immediately woke everyone up and they stared at the man with wide eyes.

"What? show us!" Noya, Hinata, and Tanaka yelled.

Once they got in, everyone gathered around the TV and watched with anticipation.

When they showed where the block A teams were playing, they only showed Oikawa causing Noya and Tanaka to get angry.

"While Tooru Oikawa is the player to watch for this year, someone else made a surprise appearance at the games today. Himari Nakamura, the daughter of Daisuke Nakamura, has joined Karasuno in their fight to nationals."

The news showed footage of Himari with Oikawa and Iwaizumi, before showing her turning to look at the camera when they asked for an interview.

Everyone looked at Himari as she just smiled at them awkwardly.

"Our very own Mari is famous!" Tanaka exclaimed.

"We've known that Tanaka."

"We asked her how she felt about Karasuno going up against Seijoh and if she thought they would win. Here's what she had to say."

"Oh, all I ask is that they try their best, and if I see them slacking then I'll make sure their training is much, much harder." Himari said as she smiled at the camera.

Everyone shivered and looked at the girl who was giving them the same smile. They scooted away from her while she just shrugged and looked back at the TV.

After a while, they headed into the gym afterwards to discuss the games and their plans for the next day. Himari was being dragged by Suga as she tried to stay awake while the meeting went on.

"Mari, you've got to sleep earlier from now on." He scolded her.

"I did sleep early, I'm just tired from today." She mumbled.

Suga sighed and patted her head before making her sit down on the bench. Everyone was running through the new formations that Ukai and Himari came up with during the Seijoh game before cleaning up to go home.

"Get rest for tomorrow, it's going to be another long day!" Ukai shouted.

"Yes sir!"

At Aoba Johsai, Oikawa was putting things in his locker in the club room, while Iwaizumi was waiting for him to finish so he could lock up.

"You better get sleep tomorrow, it's a big day." Iwaizumi told Oikawa.

"Really now? Are you my mother or something?"

Iwaizumi glared at his friend who immediately began apologizing. He was about to hurl insults at him when he felt his phone buzz. It was a text message from Himari.

'Tell Tooru he better sleep or I'll take his volleyball shoes and fill them with peanut butter again.'

He smirked when he read it and handed his phone to Oikawa.

"Hm, what is it?" The brunette asked and took the phone. He read the text message and paled before pulling out his own phone and sending a quick message.

At her house, Himari saw a text notification from Oikawa.

'Yes ma'am.'

Himari smiled and switched to the video call app and smiled at the person who had also answered the call with a smile.

"Hi Kenma."

"Hi Mari."

The next day, the team was tense as they walked into the gym to play against Seijoh. They went through their drills before the game started.

Himari got out a container that had honeyed lemon slices in them and walked over to Seijoh. The previous night, Oikawa had spammed her with texts asking her to bring something for them.

"Mari, did you bring these just for us?" Oikawa asked, as if he wasn't the one asking for them.

"Yeah, after you spammed my phone last night." She said and handed it to him.

The Seijoh players looked at the snack with sparkling eyes before turning to the girl with smiles on their faces.

"Thank you!"

"No problem." She replied before walking back to her own team, only to be dragged to the side by Tanaka.

"Why'd you bring them snacks?!"

"Tooru was being annoying. Besides, I brought way more stuff for you guys."

Tanaka nodded with approval before letting her go. Soon enough, both teams went onto the court and got in their positions.

When the game started, Karasuno served the ball which was received. When Oikawa moved, Himari leaned back with a raised eyebrow.

"Seriously? Right off the bat?"

Ukai turned to her, "What?"

"Tooru's going to do a setter dump." Himari answered just as Oikawa spiked the ball down.

She sighed and watched as Oikawa turned around and winked at her. She just shook her head and gave him a thumbs down to which he gasped at, causing her to smile.

The next play, Oikawa made it seem like he was going to do another setter dump, but changed positions mid air.

"Huh, I forgot how good he is." Himari mumbled.

The game continued and Asahi was getting ready to do a pipe attack, but Kageyama did a setter dump.

"Oh, Tooru looks mad. This is going to be a long game." Himari said.
