Stray shots

Previously on Behind the crows

"Oh but be careful of stray shots, you too Kago-san" She warned them.

"Right!" Yachi exclaimed.

'Stray shots?'
She thought.

'Could it be someone's trying to kill me?' She thought​.

She started to be aware of her surroundings.

Miharu scooted away being weirded out of her.

"I'll just watch their practice" Miharu mumbled and silently watched them.

"Hey, you okay?" Coach Ukai asked her.

She flinched and looked at her back. She suddenly shrieked because of what she saw.

'T-the scary person from yesterday!' She thought.

'He's gonna kill me!'

Coach Ukai read her mind and cut her thoughts off.

"Um.. I'm actually the coach" Coach Ukai said while scratching his head.

'Oh! My goodness! I judged someone by their appearance again!' she thought.

Remembering about Hinata judging him by his height.

"I'm so sorry!" Hitoka apologized and kneel down that makes Coach Ukai flustered telling her it's okay.

"Left!" Tanaka shouted and spiked it between sugawara and yamaguchi breaking their block.

'Their block is so weak' Miharu mumbled. She secretly pulled out her mini notebook and her pen and started to scribble.

"Alright!" Tanaka shouted.

"Nice Tanaka!"

"Don't open up the block space!" Coach Ukai shouted while holding a ball.

"Hai!" They shouted.

"Next!" Coach Ukai called and served the ball.

It zoomed towards to Daichi and he received it properly.

"Left!"

"I need to hear you guys!"

'I had a bad feeling about this' Miharu thought and watched their practice carefully.

Kageyama tossed it to Asahi. Asahi run and spiked it hard but it was blocked. Suddenly the ball zoomed towards to Hitoka. Before it contacted on her face Miharu pulled her away while Hinata received it with his left arm.

"Nice Hinata!"

"Sorry!"

They didn't noticed Miharu's quick reflexes except the coach of karasuno volleyball boys team.

'Interesting' Coach Ukai thought while watching her. He knitted his brows in confusion.

'What is she writing?' He thought staring at Miharu who's busy scribbling on her mini notebook.

'Maybe she's writing her homework' He thought and shrugged it off.

"This is my first time seeing volleyball outside of PE class so close" Hitoka said to Kiyoko.

"It's pretty amazing" She added.

"Well all you do is draw and study" Miharu said to her bluntly.

Hitoka feel like an arrow peirced her heart.

"And scared to play sports" Miharu added.

Another arrow again peirced her heart

"Mi-chaaaaan!~" Hitoka whined. Kiyoko just giggled.

"I think our team's offense is among the best in the prefecture" She said while stopping a stray ball.

****

"Kiyoko-san's talking" Nishinoya said to Tanaka.

"She's smiling!" Tanaka added.

"Her lips are moving!" Tanaka said dreamingly.

"So that's what girl talk looks like" Nishinoya said while staring at them.

"Eh? There's another girl?" Tanaka mumbled staring Miharu's back that faces from them.

"I didn't noticed her with Yachi-san" Nishinoya said while Tanaka nodded.

Miharu feels like someone's staring at her. She turned around and saw two boys staring at her.

When they take a glimpse at her their jaw drops.

"A-a-a.. B-be-beauty!" They both stuttered. Suddenly they both shakes their heads.

"No! A Goddess!" They both said simultaneously.

Suddenly Coach Ukai appeared beside of them spreading a dark aura.

"Stop goofing off, damn it!" He shouted at them. They both shrieked and run.

Remembering Kiyoko's opinion Miharu spot some of their weaknesses and she thinked that they need more practice.

"But they need to strengthen their defense" Miharu blurted it out.

'Ops I said it out loud' Miharu thought.

"I agree but karasuno was actually strong enough to go to nationals before" Kiyoko said to them.

"Nationals?" Yachi questioned.

"But in the last few years, we've been called 'the fallen giant' and 'the flightless bird" Kiyoko added. Watching their practice silently.

Takeda Sensei opened the door and entered the gym and stood beside Coach Ukai.

Tsukishima spiked but it was blocked. Fortunately, Nishinoya saved the ball. Kageyama set it to Asahi but their opponents received it.

"This time, we're going to stand on the national stage" Kiyoko said to them wearing a determined expression.

"Sugoi.." Yachi said in awed.

I hope they can go to the Nationals
