HinaYachi One-Shots

Vs. Cheetas

The Karasuno team arrived on Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium for their next match on the national level. The orange head felt nervous again. It's the national after all. They will be fighting against strong schools in Japan. You are lucky enough if you step foot on the court as a player. The team stepped in it along with the overwhelming crowd who want to watch and some players. Hinata and Yachi who were tailing the team almost got separated from them.

"Uwaa-- Look at this crowd. They're so many. They are probably from different places, right, Hinata?" Yachi muttered while looking at the people around, her chin is slightly raised as she looks at the taller people. She didn't get any response yet so she turns her head to look for the short middle blocker. "Hinata? Are you still there?"

"I... just need to... you know, toilet..." Hinata replied in a low voice while slowly turning his head to face Yachi. His face is all blue and is soaked with sweat.

Yachi noticed his trembling hands while gripping the strap of his bag and he is being left behind. "Ah, sure. Go ahead. I'll just tell them. Just catch up, okay?" she said then jogs towards the team to catch up to them.

"Thanks," Hinata said in a weak voice then headed to the restroom. Little they did know that somebody is watching them and waited for this moment.

Fortunately for Hinata, the restroom is not that crowded. The only ones there are most players. He entered the cubicle and sat on the chamber of secrets. He is still trying to relax when he heard something from the outside. No, it's not something fishy or anything.

'Wait, did somebody just locked this door?!'

His nerves tensed up once again and he broke a cold sweat. There are still people outside so they should have noticed it. He thinks he can at least be relieved because they might help him. But he was wrong. The dudes outside were snickering quietly as they make their way out of the restroom so that Hinata won't notice. The restroom became silent after they left. Hinata went speechless. He is been absorbing what is happening right now. He holds his chin and stared at the ground.

"That guy who locked this door accidentally might not have noticed since the other guys are noisy. Oh well. I forgive him since it was not intended," he then nodded at his wrong speculation.

After he is done washing and flushed the toilet, he tried to push the door, hoping it would open. But to no avail, it wouldn't budge. He tried jumping to reach the top of the door and escape there instead. But his hands would slip every time he gets a grip on the top of the door. He already wasted energy on this escape plan but that doesn't really matter since he still has a lot of stamina. He crossed his arms and furrowed his eyebrows as if he is thinking deeply. When he saw the light that was coming from below the door which was raised a few inches from the ground, he got an idea. He lied facing down then crawled under the door to get outside through the hole under the cubicle's door. Thankfully, it is not that narrow so he could fit in. He stood up as he got outside and fix his clothes. He then went to the gym where his teammates are.

Meanwhile, the team was on the court for minutes already. Yachi already told Daichi and Ukai that Hinata just went to the restroom. But he's gone for quite a while now so she can't stop worrying. She's been looking at the court's entrance often to see if he's back already but there's no sign of him. Sugawara noticed it so he went to her to assure her. She just nodded with a faint smile. The gray-haired boy smiled then came back to the court for warm-ups. Yachi checked the time on her watch and saw that it's almost time for the match. As she lifts her head, a stray ball is accelerating towards her face. She closed her eyes shut and tried to cover herself with her hands. She was waiting for the ball to hit her. After all, she doesn't have really good reflexes to dodge a fastball like that.
