Second Best (Haikyuu Fanfiction)

Aobajosai

Takeda-sensei came running into the gym only to trip and fall. Almost immediately Kuga was there to help their advisor to stand back up. Which Takeda thanked and apologized for. Though Kuga just shook his head and snuck a small smile in for the sensei before going back to his mask. Luckily before anyone besides Takeda-sensei saw.

"I got us a practice match against Aobajosai!" Takeda-sensei said proudly.

"Eh? Really? Isn't that the school most of your old teammates went to Kageyama-san?" questions were asked.

"Ano there was a condition though..." Takeda-sensei started nervously.

"What is it?" Sugawara asked

"Kageyama-kun has to play setter the entire game." Takeda-sensei answered.

This caused everyone to look at Sugawara who was surprised. Though he quickly tried to get rid of the tension with words like at least we get a practice match with a powerhouse school. Things like that and the such. Kuga watched him carefully after the news though. He could see that even though he wasn't showing it Sugawara was a bit upset that he wouldn't be able to play.

"Ano..." Kuga started gathering every ones attention, "I think I can set up a playing formation and be temporary coach for this match...I'm not the best player but I know a few tricks that we can use when things get rough." Kuga told the team.

Daichi smiled and nodded his approval and so they all prepared for their practice match.

pov Kuga

Arriving to Aobajosai I immediately looked around at all the players and a few of the people above. One person caught my attention causing a frown to set itself upon my face. It was a girl with medium length black hair and blue eyes. A first year who should be going to the same school as me. My very own little sister, whom was only a year younger than me. How she was here though I had the feeling I knew.

I stuck with Takeda-sensei as he went to speak with the opposing teams coach to thank them for the match. Though they looked confused as to why I was there. In fact their whole team was staring at me. Not like it's normal though, for a high schooler to be a coach. Especially for a high school team at that.

"And who is this?" I heard the coach ask Takeda-sensei.

"I'm Kuga Ren, I will be acting as Karasuno's coach for the time being." I answered with what I assume sounded like pride.

"What year are you anyways shrimpy?" I heard one of their members ask.

Keeping my cool I turned to look at the speaker, "I'm a second year and my age has nothing to do with my abilities as a coach. Before you try to argue with that statement think for a moment what do you know about my abilities hm? If nothing is known by my opponents then that means I'm doing part of my job correctly so who is to say I'm not doing the rest of it correctly?" I questioned enjoying watching them get pissed off at the truth, its really entertaining to me.

The kid was about to make a remark when I turned back to his coach, "Shall we prepare for the practice match then before it gets too late?" I questioned him with my monotone voice seeming to shock him.

"Ah yes that will be good" He agreed.

We would be serving first so I had them all practice a bit before actually playing. Hinata seemed off, like he was a nervous wreck. Kiyoko-senpai went to help but only made it worse. Luckily this was a practice match but still. Hopefully he would get over his nerves soon or it could make us look bad. Even so we went ahead and started the match. As it was going we were pretty bad thanks to Hinata not being able to focus.

When Hinata hit a serve into the back of Kageyama's head I couldn't help but laugh a bit. Also I decided it might be best to see if Kageyama could get Hinata out of his funk. Low and behold he did and the game made a change for the better after that. We got a set win make it 1-1. We were getting closer to winning when Oikawa was subbed in making things look bad for us. When we won though I was surprised. That last spike Hinata had his eyes open though he probably wasn't thinking about it, I'll have to do some research.
