Other Ways to Fly~ Haikyuu x OC

A Battle

The final set started with Asahi serving the ball, which was received and spiked earning Seijoh a point.

Oikawa was next to serve which was received by Asahi, but unfortunately, Kyotani spiked the ball earning Seijoh another point.

"It sucks that Seijoh won the last set, cause now they have so much momentum built up." Himari stated.

"Yeah, but like you said, we will win." Kiyoko said.

"Well, all we have to do is break Seijoh down." Ukai said.

Both teams were going back and forth, not keeping much distance between each other in terms of scores. Himari watched as Kyotani was getting ready to spike again, but Tsukishima switched himself and Tanaka, successfully stopping the spike.

"Tsukishima is finally getting serious." Himari muttered, a smile on her face.

After Tsukishima stopped Kyotani, Karasuno began leading by one point. The Karasuno supporters cheered as the team celebrated the point.

After Karasuno began leading by two points, courtesy of Kyotani spiking into the net, Kyotani began getting frustrated. Eventually, he was subbed out for Kunimi.

For the next five minutes, instead of watching the game, Himari was watching the drama unfold on Seijoh's side between Yahaba and Kyotani.

Woah, Yahaba is so cool, Himari thought after the second year finished talking to the angry second year. That talk however led Kyotani to being subbed back in.

Aww, he's finally ready to play with his team, Himari thought with a smile.

She sighed when Kyotani scored a point and shook her head.

Not good for us though.

"Up until this point, number sixteen looked like an outlier, but during that last point, he seemed like a perfect fit. I don't like it." Ukai commented.

"But in terms of total team power, we're not out of this yet. Keep watching." Takeda replied.

It was true, Karasuno still had so many weapons they hadn't shown. Both teams were still going back and forth, none pulling ahead.

Himari began getting antsy and was shuffling in her seat. She got up from the bench and began pacing while watching the game. Ukai and Takeda looked at her with smiles.

"Are you getting nervous now?" Takeda asked.

"No, it's just dragging on. I can't sit still."

"I feel ya, kid." Ukai replied.

On the court, Hinata was running in for a quick attack, but jumped too close to the net. Kageyama saw and set the ball right on top of the net.

"Slam it down!" Himari yelled.

Hinata did so and tied the game once again. Himari sighed in relief at Kageyama's genius intuition and Hinata's determination and idiocy.

Can this game end already? I'm getting grey hairs, Himari thought when she saw Kyotani spike with his left hand.

She ended up going up to Ukai and tapping his shoulder, "Put Tadashi in."

He nodded and Hinata and Tadashi switched. Unfortunately, he was cut off after one serve. Himari patted his back and gave him a smile.

"Don't worry, just do it again during our match against Shiratorizawa."

"You still think we're going to win?" He asked.

"If I'm being honest, I feel like I'm going to throw up. Also, obviously we're going to win." Himari answered.

After Oikawa served and made it to match point, Ukai called for a timeout. Himari sighed and took off her glasses. She looked around at the black and white scene in front of her. She closed her eyes before feeling a large hand on her head. Putting her glasses back on, she looked up and saw Kageyama.

"Stop stressing. You're the one who said we would win, so don't worry. I'll make more opportunities for them, just like I promised."

Himari smiled and nodded, "I trust you, Kageyama. Go and win with your team."

The first year setter nodded and ruffled her hair before leaving. She sighed and watched all the players get situated in their spots.

Don't let this be it.

The Karasuno boys got ready to receive Oikawa's serve. All the serves they dug up during the training camp were coming back to them and Daichi received it, sending it to Kageyama who sent it to Asahi. Karasuno was finally only one point away, but Seijoh was still at match point.

"Coach, it's time, right?" Himari asked.

Ukai nodded and looked at Takeda. The referee blew the whistle indicating a change in players. Suga switched with Tsukishima as a pinch server.

Once he served, Iwaizumi dug up the ball and sent it to Oikawa, who sent it to Kyotani. Fortunately, Hinata was able to see this and blocked the ball with Kageyama, earning them a point and also getting to match point, creating a deuce.

The next play, Suga served it to Iwaizumi again, but they sent it back. Suga was able to receive it and the team got ready for synchronized attack, only for Kageyama to do a setter dump.

Himari laughed as she stood behind the bench. She knew they were going to win, especially with how focused everyone was. They just needed one more point.

"One more point!" Himari yelled.

"Yeah!"

Seijoh called for a timeout and Himari groaned. She hated that it was being dragged out, but just a little longer.

"Kageyama, you were so cool!" Himari exclaimed as she gave him his water bottle. He nodded as a thanks and gave her the bottle once he was done.

"One more point, Kageyama."

"Yeah, just one more point. We got this."

The timeout ended and the teams got back on the court. Himari stood behind the bench, one foot tapping the floor as she watched Suga serve the ball.

Iwaizumi received it and it was set to Kyotani, who spiked it right into Tanaka's forehead. Himari would have laughed, but she was too stressed.

Suga and Kageyama switched places, so the third year could set while Kageyama joined the attack. Unfortunately, Hanamaki received the ball. Oikawa ran to the side and pointed at Iwaizumi before setting the ball to him, falling into the tables behind him in the process.

Iwaizumi spiked the ball, but Daichi received it, almost making it go out, but Tanaka saved it and sent it to Asahi, who spiked it. It was about to fall after Seijoh's libero botched the receive, but Kyotani saved it, sending it back to Karasuno's side.

Kageyama was going to spike it, but Kindaichi blocked it and it ended up hitting Suga in the forehead. Hinata ran forward and Kageyama set to him. The Seijoh blockers were ready, but Hinata was determined.

He spiked the ball and it hit Oikawa's arm, causing it to land outside of the court.

Karasuno had won.
