Second Best (Haikyuu Fanfiction)

Entering Karasuno

"Alright class I know the year has just started but we have a transfer student. You may come in now." The teacher for class 4 announced. (second year class 4)

A male with black hair with white ends enter the room. He was wearing a red hoodie over the standard boys black uniform. He had to piercings in one of his ears and his eyes were different shades of blue that were slit like a cats. He looked upon the class with a lazy demeanor and bored expression.

"My name is Kuga Ren. I'm transferring here from Nekoma in Tokyo. Please take care of me." He spoke in a monotone voice.

"Kuga-san you may take your seat next to Ennoshita-san." The teacher informed while Ennoshita raised his hand to indicate where the teacher meant.

"Arigatou Sensei" Kuga responded before going to his seat next to Ennoshita.

After that class started with the majority of students taking notes. Kuga though seemed to be staring at the board with a distant expression. Since the teacher only saw him looking at the board though it was ignored. Class seemed to last forever it seemed till the bell rang signaling that it was time for lunch. Swiftly Kuga had his bag over his shoulder and was out the door before anyone else. Surprising Ennoshita the only one to notice his quick disappearance.

Kuga walked outside with his phone in his hand, texting an old friend. His expression remained neutral as he easily dodged other students who passed by. Not once did he look up from his quick typing text messages. Though soon he arrived to a gym where he peeked up seeing four tall males and one just barely taller than him.  Unseen Kuga approached behind the three all standing beside eachother.

"Ano...is this the volleyball club?" He asked after getting the attention of the silver haired teen.

After he spoke up to the silver haired male the others seemed to notice him as well, "Hai, is there something we can help you with?" the male asked kindly.

Kuga gave a single nod and pulled out a filled out application form, "I was hoping to join" he responded steadily looking at the two teens he assumed to be older.

The male beside the one Kuga was talking to took the paper and looked at it. Kuga took it that he was the captain of the team. So he just watched the male read over the paper. All the while looking at the bald male out the corner of his eye. The bald male was trying to make 'intimidating' faces towards Kuga. Though it didn't appear to bother the male at all.

"You were in Nekoma last year?" The captain questioned.

"Hai, I was helping their libero while improving all the rest of my skills so I may be helpful in any and all positions." Kuga responded while looking the captain directly in the eye.

"Why did you transfer to Karasuno?" The silver haired male asked.

Kuga set his gaze to meet the warm eyes of the silver haired male, "My family moved and it would be difficult to travel back and forth to Tokyo let alone expensive." he responded easily.

That's when Kuga noticed the ginger haired male staring at him. For some reason he seemed agitated by this males stare. So he looked into the males eyes with an annoyed expression.

"Is there something wrong?" Kuga asked the male his tone still monotone.

"How tall are you?" the ginger asked.

"I'm 161.3 cm" He replied.

"Uwah even shorter than me! I'm Hinata Shouyo first year class 1" He said excitedly.

Kuga sighed, "Kuga Ren second year class 4" he stated shocking the ginger and the other guy he assumed to be a first year.

Kuga just watched what happened next. Hinata challenged the other kid, whose name was apparently Kageyama. The Dean came in to see that they refused to listen to the captain. Then Hinata poorly received a ball that knocked off his tope causing a ruckus. Everyone luckily got off easily but the captain kicked the two first years out of the gym. Through all this Kuga stood off to the side unnoticed.

"Am I able to join?" Kuga asked after everything seemed to settle starting the three in there.

The captain looked at Kuga who has been quietly standing there, patiently waiting, "Hai get changed for practice though. Also I'm now your captain, Sawamura Daichi year 3 class 4" he responded and introduced himself.

"I'm Sugawara Koushi year 3 also in class 4" Sugawara said with a kind smile.

"Tanaka Ryunosuke year 2 class 1" Tanaka said while trying to intimidate Kuga.

"You aren't very intimidating Tanaka-san. Someone who acts without the faces is more intimidating." Kuga told his fellow second year.

After everyone changed and a few more introductions practice started. Going smoothly for the most part. Kuga excelled in receiving but was only moderate with setting, spiking, and serving. Which was all a surprise anyways since he was originally a Libero. Though Karasuno already had its own Libero. He was just currently not there, refusing to come back till the ace also came back.

Tanaka asked to close up that night surprising the captain and a few others. Kuga focused on why and decided to join what he heard was some 'secret practice' for the two first years. Looking at Sugawara Kuga deduced that he too would probably join in. So after stretching Kuga changed back into his sweats and brought out his phone.

Immediately calling somebody, "Change the plan" is the only thing he said before hanging up and texting his friend again. The text messages back and forth were quick. The rest of the volleyball team noticed Kuga's fast typing as he pulled a skateboard out of the bushes near the school entrance. Then before Kuga left he waved a goodbye to the rest of the team. Quickly riding away on his skateboard while typing upon his phone.
