Mouse Turned Dog

Chapter 1

     Today was the day, Toru-Nii was gonna get his revenge...well he hoped he would but he's taking too long, he'll be lucky if he even gets to play. I get that he needs his knee looked at, but if we haven't stopped to talk to every girl that so much as looked at us, we could've been on the court by now.

"To-nii!!!" I yelled out in the hallway, knowing full well that he could hear me.

"I'm coming, my little flower!!" his muffled yell sounded from the other side of the door.

     I could feel the tick mark appear on my forehead, he knows I don't like that nickname out of all of the ones he calls me. Quietly waiting outside the nurse's room, I leaned against the doorframe...waiting, the tick mark slowly growing in size...two minutes turned into five really quick... five to eight.

"That's it!!!" I yelled turning and all but kicking down the door, a shocked Toru-Nii was on the other side. "Get your ass moving Shitty-awa, we have a game to win!"

     Quickly grabbing him by his ear, I started to drag him to the gym. We got a couple of weird looks but a quick look from an Iwaizumi makes people quickly look away. Though I understand, a 5'4" girl was dragging a 6' giant must be hilarious, especially when said giant was whining like a little girl who needed a nap, throwing a tantrum as her mom takes her to the doctor...yeah that sounds about right.

     Making it to the gym was pretty easy but it was noisier than normal. There was a pretty big crowd for just a practice match, glancing around the court I say a face I was. We all seemed to be on a timeout, so I could actually go and say hi.

"Yo Tobio-Kun!!" I hollered letting go of Toru's ear, only to have him wrap his arm around my waist pulling me back away from the younger male.

"No! Bad Ume-kun!! Don't talk to the enemy!!" he started dragging me away from the group, making our way over to our team.

     Once within striking distance, Haji-Nii delivered a kick to the setter's back, "Let go of my baby sister!"

"She's practically my sister too!!" A teary-eyed Toru whined, hugging closer for protection knowing that Aniki won't risk hurting me.

    Elbowing Oikawa in the stomach and I simply walked over to my brother (the biological one) giving him a small hug before walking over to the Karasuno team.

"Sup," I hummed to the team, locking eyes with my little kouhai. "Hello, Tobio-kun~~" I purred making a bright red blush cover his face.

"H-h-hello Iwaizumi-senpai" Tobio mumbled looking down and shuffling his feet

"Noooo, Umeji-Kun don't talk to him," Oikawa-Nii yelled as he started to warm up, only to have the coach yell at him.

    Waving my hand back at him, but not taking my eyes from my kouhai...his color darkening the more I looked at him. So cute.

"You've grown Tobi-kun," taking a step closer to him, "I remember telling you that you're not allowed to be taller than me." Smirking to the now taller male.

     He made an adorable squeak before bowing a full 90 degrees, laughing at him being formal, I reached out and pinched his little cheeks. I'm pretty sure he was steaming from his ears.

"So cute. Well, I hope you keep giving my brothers a hard time, heaven knows they need." I turned on my heel and made it back to the bench were both coaches just chuckled and shook their heads at me.

"Wha?" faking an innocent look,

"You look like your brother but act like Oikawa, truly you are a force to be reckoned with," Irihata-sensei smirked watching me.

     Looking back at my flushed kouhai, a dark grin found its way to my face.

"Perhaps he shouldn't be such a natural player that it makes my brothers hurt themselves trying to keep up with him."

     Watching the game continue as Karasuno kept their lead on us, they were up by a couple points before Toru-Nii finally stepped into the game. His serves are his strongest weapon, with his ability to pull the best out of every player as a close second. Subbing out with Nimi-Kun, Toru-nii went to the serving line. Palming the ball he quickly pointed to one of the 1st years over in the back corner.

     Leaning over to the coaches, I whispered: "I give them 3 serves before they get used to his serves."

"Now, be nice Iwaizumi-chan. If Oikawa-san hears that he'll never let you live it down."

"It's not him, that 3rd-year captain is a master receiver. He'll pull his head out of his ass-"

"Langauge." Mizoguchi-sensei snapped

"My point is that the captain is smarter than we are giving him credit for." I sighed leaning forward, resting my elbows on my knees and continued watching the match.

     And sure enough, I was right... the captain started to dig up Toru's serves, a feat that was an accomplishment itself. But what really got us, in the end, was the little ball of sunshine that somehow got an incredibly fast past To-nii.

'Hmmm, so much potential....' my dark grin carved itself back onto my face, 'too bad next time we'll crush them into the dirt.' Shifting my gaze onto my brother, his face was full of shock, but it was understandable...but never again. They've shown one of their most powerful weapons to a very observant team, or more so to Oikawa Toru. My eyes moved to said man, an annoyed tick appeared onto his forehead, and understandable, but now he will know it's coming. He'll tear it down then rebuild it to make it into his advantage.

     Standing up I made my way over to the two men that have always been in my life, popping Toru in the back of the head as I went to hug Hajime. Even sweaty, I've always hugged him; though he enjoys holding me longer than necessary just to make me cringe at his smell and stickiness. Laying my head on his shoulder, he kept me in his hug while telling the others to line up. Slowly unraveling myself from my brother I made my way over to my other one, so that he may receive the same treatment. Toru always needs hugs after a loss, even a practice one, but he always feels like he's not good enough for everyone, a trait that we share. But that's why the three of us work so well, we support each other no matter problem; we may complain about it, but we never mean it. Sturdy as a rock and unyielding as the river, a saying I once told the two of them when they first got into a big fight, now it's our motto.

     To-Nii's arm encircled me and held me tightly to his chest, a small shudder ran through his body causing me to tighten my hold on him. 'I've got you,' my arms said, 'Never let them see,' spoke my head nuzzled in his chest, 'Move past this,' whispered my feet shuffling closer.

'Thank you,' replied the hand petting my back. Stepping back, I looked up to my brother, like any good sister does, and smiled.

'Anytime Big Brother.'
