A Neko among Crows

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

'Everyone is surely doing their best, I can't help but feel hyped up' Keiko thought looking at the guys' training. Her eyes then caught some water bottles and a ball and immediately come up with an idea, 'this would be fun, though it might be a bit hard for them at their first try' she thought gathering all things she needed and went outside. The boys were too busy in practicing that they didn't notice Keiko's exit.

Ren wasn't feeling well so he reluctantly has to stay at home, he even tried to call Keiko's cellphone but it's futile since she won't pick up and he feels like falling over. 'When was the last time I'm sick, again?' was his last thought before passing out.

"Hey has anyone of you have seen Keiko-chan?"Asahi asks after practice, seeing that Keiko isn't anywhere to be found.

"I saw her practicing outside" Kiyoko said making Ukai surprised.

"Practicing!" He exclaimed walking to the door, everyone followed him curious.

"*Slam!!" The noise immediately the guys' attention, making them all turn to where it's coming from.

"Would you look at that..." Ukai said his expression between a mix of shock and surprise with a lot of awe. "WOAH" the guys said in awe. It's been a while since they saw Keiko play anyway.

"*Slam!!" Keiko slammed the ball, hitting a bottle effortlessly as if it's too easy. She then looked around, seeing the team she just grinned and gathered all the things she used then head back to the gym, with the guys following her.

"Okay! You guys saw what I just did right? So now I guess I'll teach you since you need some tricks to get through Nekoma's defense" Keiko said setting the bottles up.

"What made you so interested?" Daichi asks suspicious. Keiko paused and think about it smirking.

"I want to make a bet with their coach and captain, so you guys have to win at least one set" Keiko said smirking. The guys just look confuse except for Hinata who's already excited.

"Yosh! Let's start, teach me Keiko-chan!!" he says fire up running on the court. Keiko smiled at his antics then look at the others.

"Let's get this started then, *prrt~* Everyone except for Nishinoya-senpai, Asahi-senpai, Daichi-senpai, Sugawara-senpai, Hinata and Tsuki-chan; please head to the opposite side of the court, the one without bottles. Then those who I've exempt please follow me" Keiko said heading to the court where she set the bottles. "Avoid moving the bottles nor touching it" She added. Once everyone are at their positions Keiko signals Ukai and the others to start.

"We're just going to play a game of volleyball with a little twist, your goal is to hit the bottles on this side while we protect it, we're technically practicing your agility, flexibility, and accuracy. Everyone do your best" Keiko lectured. Everyone sweat dropped not really sure where this is heading.

"We'll inform you when to start" Ukai said understanding Keiko's plan. Both groups then discussed their game plans.

"Everyone you have to block, receive, and make sure none of their attacks hit the bottles, please be very flexible or else..." Keiko said with a strange glint in her eyes.

"Or else what?" Tsukishima asks with a bored expression. Keiko just smiled sweetly.

"But how can we do that?" Hinata asks curious. Making Keiko chuckle the guys looked worried.

"Hahaha, we have a two giants, a great libero, and senpais who can receive; all you have to do is leave the back to me and spike, dominating over them." Keio said with an evil smile, competitive.
