The Eclipse

Chapter 33

No one pov

"You guys should start preparing your stuff now for camp, and i hope you already told your parents okay? Especially you Tanaka."

"Wha- sensei why me??"

Everyone was brimming with excitement at the thought of having a training camp. After loosing to Aoba Josai they swore to get their revenge, and they can't lose face after declaring war to Ushijima right?

After the initial warnings about how those who doesn't have a passing grade  couldn't go and who they'll be up against during training, they couldn't help but notice the tangerine being worried.

"Kohai if your score was that bad you can just retake it and come after us!"

" Yeahh shoyo! Don't mind don't mind!!"
Nishinoya and Tanaka reassured him, while sugawara watched.

He was quite worried what would happen if some of them are left behind after learning about miyagi's 'predicament'. He shook his head and got rid of unwanted thoughts. If it was that easy tho.

" Hehehe im not worried about my grades.." he scratched his head nervously while the french fry looked at him suspiciously, not believing him.

"Idiot! You're saying your grades got better than mi--ouch?!" Suga hit his head, annoyed at the interruption.

"Its just that i dont know if shin- my d-dad will allow it.."

Hinata was worried not because Shindo might get mad—heck he's mad all the time—but because Natsu would be all alone for the whole week, and he does not  want to imagine what the devil might do to her.

"We can talk to your dad if you want hinata-kun. We might be able to convince him." Takeda-sensei chimed while signing permission slips for camp.

"NO!!!"

The team was shocked at his sudden outburst. Worry and confusion directed towards the orange head.

"I-i meant, no it's fine i'll talk to him. It would be embarrassing if you guys did that for me!"

"What was that for?" Hinata flinched at kageyama's question.

Hinata POV

"What was that for?" Kageyama suddenly asked. Damnit i really need to keep my composure. I cant let them find out about Shindo. I. Just. Cant. I can't drag them into this hellhole. If only there's a way i could keep Natsu from him the whole time im in Tokyo...

'Should I ask??

But what if they don't agree??

Do i have any other choice??

"Shut up bakayama! Worry about your grades first!"

"What was that boke?!"

"When will these two ever shut up?" Daichi just facepalmed at us as i saw Coach ukai deep in thought.

Perhaps worried?

No way i must be imagining things.

"Hinata." Shit.

I was not imagining things.

"Yes coach? Is there any problem..?" God please.

"Is everything okay at home? You can tell us anything you know.."

If only i could.

If only i could just tell them everything i've been put through.

If only i could just breakdown right here right now and tell them im tired.

That im not strong enough.

That i couldn't save Natsu.

That there's a monster living under our roof

That there's someone violating every part of my body.

That i have already killed people.

That im already a monster as well

I doubt they would accept me anymore..

Right??

I smiled warmly at the question.

"Thank you for worrying about me coach!! But Im fine we just needed to adjust for a bit after what happened, but we're okay!!" " Oh! There's the bell! Im going home now see you tomorrow everyone!!"

I laughed as i ran away from them.

Its all good.

This is better than dragging them with me.

Coach Ukai POV

I just know that something is up. But i can't just force the kid to confess that'll traumatize him. I just wish he trusts us enough to confide in his pain. There's something about hinata right now that is familiar in a disturbing way.

Where have i seen those broken eyes before??

Dull brown and lifeless.

I can tell he's just distracting himself with volleyball. As if anytime soon he won't be able to play anymore.

Dull..

Brown..

Mask..?

No. Fuck no. There's no way that kid who tried to kill me was him.

We really need to get a good look with that Shindo guy.
