Other Ways to Fly~ Haikyuu x OC

'Mad Dog'

Himari was gone for fifteen minutes getting ice and her hand wrapped. When she got back, she saw that Seijoh was in the lead, and the new player was the reason.

"Mari!"

Himari looked up and waved at Yachi. Takinoue, Shimada, and Saeko also looked down and waved at her.

"Are you alright?" Shimada asked.

Himari nodded and gave him a thumbs up with her bandaged hand. She looked at the game and watched as Kindaichi scored Seijoh a point.

Hmm, both teams seem stressed. Oh well, our victory will just take a little longer than I had thought.

Himari walked back to the bench and sat down. Ukai, Takeda, and Kiyoko looked at her, concern still in their eyes.

"I'm fine, just a sprain. Anyway, what's up with the tennis ball head?"

Ukai looked back up at the game with a grim expression, "They call him 'Mad Dog'. He's been getting Seijoh points, but he's also been giving us points."

"'Mad Dog'? Seriously? I'm assuming Tooru gave him that nickname. What's his actual name?"

Kiyoko looked in the book with all the players from the different teams, "Kyotani Kentaro."

"Well, Kyotani is a double edged sword for Seijoh, which is good for us. That is, until he starts working with his teammates."

Takeda looked at her, "Are you not worried for our team?"

She waved her good hand and smiled, "Nah, our victory will just take a little longer. No need to worry about it."

I might be a little nervous, Himari thought to herself.

She turned back to the game and saw Kyotani getting his team a point, but then giving Karasuno a point by missing a serve.

"So, we might lose this set." Himari said as she watched Hinata get blocked during his back row attack.

Ukai looked at Himari and she nodded her head. She turned to the players waiting and searched for the third year setter.

"Suga, come here!"

The third year setter quickly ran over to the bench and listened as Ukai told him the plan. Afterwards, they all watched as Oikawa served and got Seijoh a point. He messed up his next serve and Tanaka was able to get Karasuno a point.

After that, Suga was subbed in as a pinch server. He served right to Kyotani, so he wouldn't be able to attack. Oikawa set the ball to Kindaichi which was received by Suga. Kageyama then sent it to Hinata who got them a point.

After the same thing happened for a second time, Suga sent it to Kageyama who made a line shot, Oikawa scowled and looked at Himari. She waved her bandaged hand at him with an innocent smile causing his scowl to deepen.

Seijoh called a time out, so everyone returned to their bench. Himari handed out water bottles and gave everyone a pat on the back.

"You guys are doing great! Just remember, you have a lot more weapons in your arsenal, use them when necessary."

"Yeah!"

Suga walked up to the girl and took her bandaged hand, "Does it still hurt?"

"Only a little, it's sprained." She answered.

He nodded and let go of her hand, returning to his teammates to discuss their next move. After some time, they went back on the court and Suga was serving again. It seemed like Seijoh caught onto their strategy, because Makki moved to receive in Kyotani's place.

After Kyotani got Seijoh a point, Suga was subbed out, since he was only in as a pinch server. Karasuno was still behind by two points, and both teams were going back and forth.

"It would be good if we could take this set, but I don't think that's going to happen," Himari commented as Kyotani scored another point.

Takeda called another timeout, using up all their timeouts. Himari rubbed her temples before a smile took over her face. She watched the players get back on the court and then turned to the freckled first year who was staring at her and Ukai with a determined expression. The blond coach looked at him and smiled,

"Calm down, Tadashi. You'll get your revenge, don't worry."
