Soar Into The Sky [Kageyama Tobio Fanfic - Haikyuu!]

Chapter Two

The night was silent as if no one was alive but him. He shifts uncomfortably in his bed, from his right side to his back. He sighed as he drags his right arm to his forehead. His orbs stare at the ceiling above him. He has been doing this for the past three hours and still he cannot sleep. He turns to his left side where his study table and cabinets are.

His sight falls onto the several photo frames he has on the cabinets. One of them was in his first Inter-High volleyball tournaments a few months ago. Their libero, Nishinoya insisted to get one taken to commemorate their first win after getting the team back to where it once was. The first round of the tournament was nerve wrecking but his adrenalin runs fast and filled with excitement each time he toss and spike the ball to his teammates especially his former partner, Hinata.

In the picture was every one of them in the team, the teacher, the manager, and the coach. Each one of them had a smile on them for achieving their first victory after a long time. Hinata was standing in the front middle with a wide grin with a V- sign shown on his fingers.

Yes…they won the inter-high tournament with many obstacles along the way but they never gave up. Sure, there was a couple misunderstanding, arguments, hundreds of nerve wrecking seconds and what not but their center never stopped bringing them back together. Only Hinata can do that without putting more oil onto the raging flames.

It was 24 – 24. It was the most nerve wrecking seconds in their team life when the opponent libero manage to save the ball and it was the most nerve wrecking seconds for Kageyama when three of their spikers are moving towards him, preparing to jump and spike the ball. His mind runs wild and fast. The match has been going on and on for over an hour, and everyone in the team was at their limit. He knows this will be the last toss to decide the win and lose.

‘To whom should I toss the ball to? Asahi-san? Tanaka-san? Or Hinata? Who?’ from the corner of his eyes he could see the wall of their opponents preparing to block the spike as they did earlier. He could hear their opponents shifting their block to the team ace, Asahi.

“The last toss will always goes to the ace no matter what and that’s the best you can do for the team.” His coach once mentioned. Upon remembering it, swiftly with the perfect form he can do, his arms preparing to toss the ball. Second passed, the moment his hands touched the ball, another second passed when the ball flew into the air, and another second passed the moment the three spikers jumps up into the air.

Another second passed when one of the spiker palm touched the ball, “DO IT HINATA!!!” he shouted. There it was the freak quick spike. Another second passed when the libero and the opponent vanguards ran after the wall. It was too late. They have missed. 

They won by 27-25! 

It took them another second to register what just happened on the court. Everything happened so fast that all were speechless. “YEAH! WE WON! WE WON! WE WON!!” Hinata shouted in excitement the moment the referee blew the final whistle.

The last point went to Karasuno. Tears of joy fell down onto each of them. It was too overwhelming. They struggled so hard to get this far. The third years were speechless. Nothing could describe what their feeling right that moment. Their hard work finally paid off. For three years, they struggled so much that they almost gave up along the way.

Kageyama and Hinata watched their senpai’s cried in joy. They both smiled. Hinata grins wide as he showed his right fist, “We’re going to the nationals together, partner!” his smile always has some affects towards others. Kageyama wonders if it had affected him too. He returns his smile.
