Other Ways to Fly~ Haikyuu x OC

Down to the Wire

The two teams switched sides again and went to their benches. Himari high-fived Hinata and he began jumping up and down excitedly.

"Did you see me, Mari?! I jumped so high!"

Himari nodded, "Yeah! You practically flew!"

"I'm going to continue jumping higher and higher!"

"Yeah!"

Himari collected the towels and bottles and sat back down. She smiled at the boys who had looks of determination all over their faces.

"Win this set and win the game," Himari said.

"Yeah!"

On the other side of the court, Nekoma cheered which drew Karasuno's attention.

"I want to woo-hoo too! Let's go!" Hinata exclaimed.

All the players got back on the court, ready for the final set of the game. Himari was up and watching from behind the bench.

As soon as the game started, both teams were responding to each other with incredible plays.

"Noya's so cool," Himari said as she watched the libero defend.

She began laughing when she saw Kuroo and Tsukishima practically competing with each other. Once the rally was over, the two were heaving, wanting the other to give up.

Kuroo delivered a powerful jump serve that was received by Daichi. Kageyama set it to Asahi, but Kuroo received it and spiked it when Kenma set to him.

Once Karasuno earned another point, Himari sighed, "This game is kind of stressful."

Kenma had a competitive look on his face as he scored a point for Nekoma. Himari smiled and sighed,

He's having fun. That makes me happy, she thought to herself.

Nekoma brought in their spare setter as a pinch server for the next play. He did an underhand serve which was received by Daichi. Kageyama set it to Asahi who spiked it and hit the blockers hands. Karasuno would've gotten the point, Fukunaga ran after the ball and sent it back.

Kenma jumped up to set the ball. Kuroo also jumped, ready to spike it. Fortunately, Noya received it.

Kageyama set the ball to Hinata, and Kenma ran after it, but the ball dropped and Karasuno got the point.

Kenma fell to the floor with a smile, "This is fun."

Himari's eyes were wide and she smiled, "That's the first time I've heard him say that."

The teams went back to their benches. Himari smiled and ruffled Hinata's hair,

"Kenma's having fun, good job."

Hinata grinned, "I promised him he would say that."

Eventually, the players went back onto the court. The two teams kept scoring one after another, both working hard to keep the ball in the air. The players on both sides were exhausted, but they knew if they let up even the tiniest bit then they would lose.

After the long, nail-biting rallies, Kenma tried to set the ball, but all the sweat that was collected on the ball caused it to slip and fall to the ground. That one move gave Karasuno the point.

It was the winning point.

Karasuno had won the dumpster battle.
