Other Ways to Fly~ Haikyuu x OC

Himari Slaps Tanaka. Again.

Kinoshita took his place on the court, his face more determined than before since Ukai had talked to him.

He looked back at Himari and she gave him a thumbs up. He smiled and looked at the ball in his hands. Once the whistle blew he tossed it up and did a jump floater. Inarizaki's libero received it and Osamu got ready to spike it.

"Come on, Hinata. You got this," Himari muttered as she watched him jump to block the spike. Osamu's eyes widened, realizing that he was going to get blocked.

"It was a fluke and nobody expects you to do it again," Kageyama told him.

Hinata turned to Himari, "Mari, did you see that?!"

Himari nodded and smiled, "That block was amazing!"

Hinata smiled and walked back to his position. From the corner of her eye, she could see Atsumu looking at her with a frown. She turned to him and smiled.

"What about me? Am I doing good?" He asked.

Tanaka and Noya scowled at the blond setter and Osamu hit the back of his brother's head,

"She's on the other team, idiot. She won't compliment you."

Himari sighed and looked at Atsumu, "I've already told you that you're an amazing setter at camp, I'm sure you don't need me to say it again."

Atsumu had a giddy smile on his face and got back to his position. The whistle sounded and Kinoshita served again. The ball was received and spiked over, giving Inarizaki a point.

Himari watched as Hinata was having trouble blocking Osamu. She watched as Osamu glared and called Hinata a pushover. She scowled and glared at the grey haired twin.

"Takeda, call a timeout," Himari said.

He nodded and stood up. The whistle sounded and the teams went back to their benches. Himari and Kiyoko passed them their water bottles. Once he was done, Himari pulled Hinata aside.

"Hinata, the next time you go to block Osamu, think of the most annoying block you ever had to go up against. The one you despised the most, and the one that let the other team gain control of the ball."

Himari had an idea of what blocker Hinata hated, so she watched as he thought it over. His eyes widened and he smiled.

"I've got it! I'm going to block him this time!"

Himari smiled and gave him a high five. From the other side of the court, the Inarizaki team watched as Himari talked to Hinata, they watched curiously as Hinata smiled and laughed.

Himari felt multiple eyes on her, so she turned and looked at Inarizaki. She gave them a sly smile and went back to her seat on the bench.

The whistle sounded again and everyone went back to their positions. The whistle sounded again and the ball was in the air. Hinata was still having trouble blocking Osamu. Himari knew he wouldn't get it on the first try, but that was fine.

Inarizaki received Kageyama's serve during the next play. Hinata watched the ball in the air when his eyes lit up. He looked at Himari and she smiled.

Hinata began running and jumped, forcing Osamu to do a line shot. Himari smiled and nodded to herself.

Thanks Matsukawa, Himari thought to herself.

Kageyama got ready to set for a synchronized attack. Once he did, Karasuno got a point and tied the score again. Inarizaki's coach called for a timeout and the teams went back to their benches.
