Day 12, Friday
"Hide-chan!" Kageyama called out as he sets to her close to the net.
Bam.
"Yes!" The boys and Hideko huddled, cheering with each other.
"Hide-chan?" Tanaka patted Kageyama's back as he asked.
Kageyama looked confused for a second before turning to face Hideko.
"I apologize Hideko-chan. I was in a hurry -"
"No need to apologize, Kageyama. That's actually what my team in Sozokujin calls me."
"Really?!" Hinata yelled from the bleachers.
"He just has to insert himself in the conversation." Tsukishima said.
"You can call me that Kageyama. I don't mind." Hideko smiled as she walks back to her position.
Kageyama nodded his head then turned his head away.
She's really amazing. I wonder if we can practice one on one. Kageyama thought, feeling happy all of a sudden.
"Hide-chan!" Hinata yelled.
"What?" Hideko yelled back looking at him.
"I like it! Hide-chan." Hinata grinned raising two thumbs up.

"It's really good to have Hideko-chan, playing with us." Noya said his hands behind his head.
"It's a sure win!"
"No more penalty drills!"
"That's not always true.." Hideko chuckled, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Besides, I thought you didn't want me with you?" Hideko asked walking beside them.
"What?! I never said that!" Noya yelled with wide eyes.
"I'm pretty sure you did."
"No way. I would never." Noya shaked his head, crossing his arms on his chest.
"I think it was yesterday, on lunch." Hideko raised a brow at him.
"What? What did I-" Tanaka elbowed him.
"Stop." Tanaka whispered.
"Right. I think I heard him curse your name." Tsukishima said from behind them.
"Tsukki-" Yamaguchi gave his friend a look.
"More than once." Tsukishima added, chuckling, ignoring the expression of Yamaguchi.
"Uh huh." Hideko crossed her arms, looking at Noya.
"You heard that?!" Noya said loudly, running behind Tanaka.
"He didn't even deny it." Narita said with a grin.
"I don't know if I should be proud or annoyed." Kinoshita said with a laugh.
"Way to man up on your actions, Noya." Tanaka hooked his arm around his neck.
"Oh, come on! I was really tired! That's a lot, coming from me!"
True... The boys thought as they all unconsciously stretch.
"All of us were." Ennoshita sighed.
"My body is sore in places that I never even thought was possible." Kinoshita laughed, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I can't help but feel bad for those boys." Hideko mumbled to herself as she takes the snacks she made for her team.
Ah yes. What good way to help with muscle soreness other than hydration and rest? Eat berries and turmeric. Viola.
