Nekoma Training Camp

  "Is that...."

  "Could it be...."

  "The Skytree?!" The two idiots said with excited tones as they were looking up at a....transmission tower. Sighing out of my nose, I lazily looked to the guy that was laughing his ass off at them.

  "No, that's just a transmission tower." Another one said, explaining the obvious to the duo. The black-haired male next to him was clutching his stomach, and his laugh was amusing while his hair looked like he had just gotten out of bed.

  "Here we are, Tokyo!" Nishinoya roared as we stood in front of Nekoma Metropolitan High School. Glancing at the managers, I saw that they were lightly chatting to each other as the rest of the team was exiting the bus. Yawning, I scratched the back of my head and walked off to find a quieter place to most likely take a nap in.

  Keishin didn't see me wander off, so I'd have a good head start on catching some rest before he'd catch on to me. Even though he tried to get me to be more active with the team and everything, I still thought he was pretty cool. Though it may not seem like it, the week I had already spent with him so far had actually been nice. Karasuno wasn't that bad, either, but people had taken a long while before catching on that I'd rather be left alone. The male volleyball team, on the other hand, were almost always around, and the goofier ones out of them would literally act like guards as we were walking through the halls between classes or lunch.

  Nishinoya and Tanaka were especially bad at doing that, but Kiyoko always managed to get them off of my back by just walking by and glancing their way. Daichi and Suga were good company to have during lunch, though I'd just silently sit near them and nothing more.

  It was odd to be so close with people after so long, and I found myself actually enjoying their company and imagining what conversations we could possibly have if I had the initiative to talk to them. With Asahi, though, he was very sensitive to my presence and would always freak out when I was around. At first, I had thought it was because he knew about my oddness, but I later found out it was due to the fact that he had no idea what I was thinking, and he actually found me intimidating. That brunette giant had a heart of badly annealed glass.

  When I had found a spot underneath a fairly large tree near what looked like the back of a gymnasium, I plopped down and used my bag as a pillow. It didn't take long for me to pass out since I had been determined to look at the scenery the whole bus ride here, and that had been a trip that lasted for hours.

  Slowly opening my eyes, I sat up while groggily looking around. When my eyes focused, I saw my cousin crouched down in front of me while he was holding his cellphone. His brows were furrowed and he looked ready to give me a good scolding.

  "So....this is where you've been?" He questioned as he closed his cell and the ringtone going off in my pocket shut off. "When did you sneak off, huh?" Lifting his chin, Keishin pointed at me. "Next time, don't wander and make sure I know where you are at all times." I just grunted while letting out a huff of air as I slightly furrowed my brows.

  "Don't give me that look, Takachi, be glad I found you in time for dinner." Perking up at his words, he sweatdropped while catching the change in my mood. "Come on." He rolled his eyes while standing up and grabbing my bag. "Everyone else is lookin' for you, too, so you should text them that you're okay."

  "I only have Nishinoya's number." I said, barely speaking above a whisper while slipping out my phone.

  "Oh? And why's that?" Keishin smirked as I went to my contact list, probably thinking of ways to tease me about what I had just said.
