Punk (Haikyuu!! Fan Fiction)

Never Go Back Here

Okay I'll be sleeping after this so--ouo Last chapter for tonight (: I'd be offline afterwards (though I don't log-out my account. That's why I look like I'm online xD)

Four familiar figures walked through the streets of a dark narrow neighborhood where Tanaka said, a good ramen shop was located. It was getting dark, and the sunset was already visible, creating 4 unequal shadows mirroring the players’ bodies on the ground. Tanaka was leading the group and turned to an unfamiliar corner where he came across a gang having a blast in drinking sake in a small store.

“Hold on, is this the place you were talking about Ryu?” Nishinoya asked the bald player who was examining the shop they arrived at and didn’t recognize it at all.

“Ah, sorry about that Noya-san. It seems we went to the wrong shop” Tanaka apologized to his teammates while scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

“You’ve got to be kidding me” Kageyama scowled, showing an annoyed expression and exhaled. His type of attitude caught some of the gang members’ attention and gave the four high school students glances.

Tanaka repeatedly apologized to his teammates and suggested that maybe they took the wrong route and go back. Hinata, who was standing right in front of the shop door, was asked by his senpai to move back since they were leaving the place. Clumsily, the ginger obeyed his senpai and went to exit the shop only to bump onto some big muscular grown up man that had just entered the shop. “Whoa, easy there!” Nishinoya and Tanaka assisted Hinata when he stumbled on the ground after bumping onto the man who just entered.

“Ah? Who the hell do you think you are?” the man who was in 40’s roared; clearly angered at the miniscule impact he had with Hinata. Apparently, he was a muscular guy; with big biceps bulging on his arms and a broad chest that Hinata just collided with. A big dragon tattoo painted his left arm and several detailed ones around the other parts of his skin. Several cuts were evident around his face, and you can tell by the burn mark he had on his upper-right eye, that isn’t someone you should mess with. His intimidating glare that didn’t actually quite match his bald hairstyle scared and froze the ginger standing in front of him.

The poor freshman gripped onto his senpai’s polo, afraid of the hot-tempered man they’ve encountered and hid behind Tanaka’s figure.

“Whoa, what’s happening here boss?” one of the man’s apprentice came, interrupting the tension between the two and scanned Tanak from top to bottom.

“Eh? What’s your problem with our boss, you punk?!” growled the apprentice with a roaring voice. It left Kageyama and Hinata trembling and Nishinoya pissed off.

“No-Nothing sir! We were just passing by! We don’t intend to open up a fight with your boss!” Tanaka tried to calm things down but due to Nishinoya’s enraged face, the apprentice didn’t seem to be convinced at all.

“Is that so? Then what’s up with this midget’s glare?” the gangster, grabbed Nishinoya by the collar and lifted him up in the air just to rub it in that Nishinoya is short.

“What did you say you ganguro?! Do you want to fight huh?!” Nishinoya challenged swinging his fist in the air that the man easily dodged.

The gangster lifting up Nishinoya laughed evilly and threw the poor guy on the ground. “You’ve got some big guts eh, midget?” he started stepping on the poor boy’s back continuously.

“Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!” Tanaka tried to help his friend but he was punched by the other members of the gang.

The gang drinking sake in the shop watched the scene and didn’t even bother to help until a certain swordswoman entered the shop carelessly, ignoring the presence of the gang who arrived before her.
