The second set was finally beginning and Atsumu was first to serve. Just as he threw the ball in the air, some girls cheered. He hit the ball with a spin, which was able to get Inarizaki a point, but unfortunately went towards Karasuno's bench.
Himari's eyes widened as the ball came towards her fast. Ukai grabbed her and made her duck down. Once they heard the ball land behind them, they got up.
Himari looked at Atsumu who had a terrified look on his face. She got up from the bench and picked the ball up. She tossed it to Inarizaki's side and sat back down.
Ukai looked at her with that of a worried parent's, "Are you alright?"
Himari nodded, "Yeah, thanks. Though I think the ball has something against me."
Himari turned back to where her team was watching her. She gave them a smile and a thumbs up. The referee finally blew the whistle and started the game back up.
This game is going to be so long, Himari thought with a sigh.

It didn't take long for Inarizaki to take the lead by seven points. Atsumu was doing his serving routine again and he had also begun to target
Noya.
Takeda called a timeout and all the players went back to their benches. Atsumu was looking at Himari and making funny faces. She shook her head with a smile and turned to her players.
"Mari, can you tape my fingers up? I really suck at it."
"Yeah, sure."
Noya handed Himari the tape and stood in front of her. She grabbed his hand and began taping his fingers one by one.
Atsumu scowled and turned away. Osamu and Suna smirked and slapped his back.
"You wish that was you, huh?"
"Shut up. If Mari went to Inarizaki then that would be me."
"Yeah, but she goes to Karasuno, not Inarizaki."
Atsumu scowled again and crossed his arms. Once the whistle sounded again, all the players were back on the court.
Atsumu served again and Noya missed again. Himari hummed and tilted her head. She smiled and turned to Kinoshita who was looking at Noya anxiously.
"He'll get the next one," Himari said.
Once Atsumu served, Noya received it, albeit weakly.
Asahi went to spike and hit it towards Atsumu. Osamu then got to the setter position and set to Suna, who got Inarizaki another point.
Himari laughed in amazement and was shaking Ukai who was next to her.
"So cool," Himari mumbled.
Atsumu got the ball to serve. He targeted Noya again, but unfortunately for him, it went out. He yelled in frustration that he wasn't able to properly receive the ball.
Asahi served the ball next and got Karasuno a point, but Aran received it and sent it to Atsumu who set it to Suna.
Himari laughed in amazement as Suna earned his team a point by luring Tsukishima and Kageyama into blocking him, or at least trying to.
Suna looked over at Himari and did a peace sign. Himari smiled and shook her head. Inarizaki was full of surprises.
The game continued and Inarizaki continued to get more points. Himari had since got up from the bench and began pacing.
"Stressed Himari?" Ukai asked.
"Nah, I know we'll win."
"You said that during the match against Seijoh and Shiratorizawa, but you were totally stressed then."
