Chapter 3**

"You're a cocky bastard, aren't you?" Oikawa said with a smirk.

"Oh, please. Says the guy who loves to boast about himself."

"And didn't you just do the same thing?"

"Are you deaf? I was talking about my team, not me."

"So, you think your team is better than everyone else here?"

"As much as I should say no out of modesty and respect..." Y/N started to say before his eyes narrowed on Oikawa, "As their captain, yeah. I do think my team is better. Is that so unusual?"

"Then prove it."

"Hmm?"

Oikawa's smirk widened. "In the practice match against my team. Prove it to me. That your team is better."

Aobajosai's captain put his hand out in front of Y/N. "If you win, I admit that your team is the best. But...if my team wins, you'll admit that you're nothing but a cocky bastard in front of everyone."

"I'll pass."

"Huh?"

"And before you assume anything, no, it's not because I'm scared."

Oikawa grew even more annoyed. "Then why?"

"A bet like that is no fun," Y/N replied, a smirk tugging at his lips, "If you want my attention, make it more interesting."

"Tch... Fine. If my team wins, you'll stand in the middle of the gym, with a microphone, and admit defeat in front of every single person here."

"Oh? Is that so? Going for a little bit of public humiliation, huh? Alright then. It's my turn."

Oikawa awaited to hear what Matsubara's captain would say next.

"If Matsubara wins...you and your entire team will dress up as cheerleaders and do a cheer routine about how weak Aobajosai is."

"Wha-- Hold on! How is that fair?!"

"You named your condition."

"I--"

"What? Wanna change it? I don't care, so go ahead."

"If my team wins...your whole team will..."

Y/N waited for his answer, seeing a hint of hesitance in the setter's behavior. "Well?"

"Your whole team will be my team's personal errand boys for a week."

"Done."

Oikawa was shocked at how easily Y/N accepted his condition. "Tch..."

This bastard... Is he so confident he'll win that he doesn't bat an eye at such a condition? Or...does he not care what happens to his teammates?

Oikawa looked hesitant at the conditions as a sadistic smile made its way onto M/n's face. "Well, if you're too much of a pussy", he said as he started to walk away. "Then we can call the deal off--"

"Wait!"

Y/N stopped in his tracks, his smile still on his face as he turned around.

"I accept your conditions", Oikawa said, determination in his voice as he extended his hand out to the (h/c)-ette again.

His smirk widened. "Then it's a deal."

Y/N let go of his hand and started to leave once more. "See you on the court...Oikawa Tooru."

Iwaizumi turned the corner just as he saw the (h/c)-haired male leave. He walked up behind Oikawa. "Oi! Trashykawa!"

Said male jumped in surprise. "You scared me! Don't do that!"

"What were you and the Matsubara captain talking about just now?"

"Huh?"

--

"You're an idiot, Shittykawa!", Iwaizumi yelled, smacking Oikawa across the head.

"Oww! What was that for, Iwa-chan~!!" he whined.

"How could you make a bet like that with him?!"

"What do you mean?", Oikawa questioned as he rubbed his head. "It's not like we're gonna lose to them."

"As usual, you're being your irritating, cocky self! You have no idea what you just got yourself into!"

Oikawa shrugged, a sly smile on his face. "What are you so worked up about?"

"In case you didn't know, Shittykawa, he's the captain of Matsubara!!"

"So?"

"So? We're gonna have a guaranteed loss! You made a deal with the devil! Matsubara's captain is known as the living Satan! Once you're on the court with him, you can feel his aura. And when anyone tries to block his spikes, they get a red mark on the palms of their hands that burn. It stings and feels like you purposely placed your hands on the surface of a burning stove top. In his presence, you almost feel as if your feet are stuck to the floor. You screwed with Satan himself the second you made the deal with him!"

Oikawa was quiet for a second before laughing. Iwaizumi looked at him as if he were crazy. "Oh, please! A C-rated school like Matsubara doesn't have someone like that! Jeez, Iwa-chan! You scared me there for a second."

Iwaizumi glared at him. "Why are you such an idiot, Trashykawa?! Listen to me for once, you hard-headed piece of shit!!"

"Owww!!!!"

--

Y/N walked toward the bench where the rest were waiting for him. F/N, who was standing beside him, felt a shiver go up his spine. He hugged himself, rubbing his arms. "So cold..."

Y/N turned his attention to him. "What's up with you now?"

"I don't know... I felt cold for a second there."

He rolled his eyes and watched as the coach paced back and forth before stopping in front of them. "Alright, boys. You all know the game plan. We've gone over it twenty times during practice earlier. You're an entire unit working together. Don't forget that."

"Yes, sir!"

"Welcome to the volleyball training camp hosted by Miyagi Prefecture. Today, we'll be having a practice match to kick off the start of the camp. Up first is our guests of honor, Matsubara, versus Aobajosai! Good luck out there, teams, and remember to have fun!"

Hinata stared at Y/N, who he had run into earlier, intently from the stands. Something about his aura reminded him somewhat of Tobio. Y/N made his way to the court along with five of his teammates. On the other side of the net, Oikawa made eye contact with the (h/c)-haired male.

But, his smirk fell when he noticed the dark aura surrounding Y/N as he stood in his spot.

"If we have to cheer like cheerleaders today, Shittykawa, I swear I'll kill you!"

"Relax, Iwa-chan! Everything will be fine! Trust me!"

Iwaizumi sighed. It seemed that there was no way to avoid what was to come. He turned his attention to M/n, who ran his hand through his hair, making some of the female managers squeal. Oikawa pouted.

"He's taking away their attention from me~!!" he whined.

"Shut it, Trashykawa! We have more important things to worry about right now!"

"Oikawa."

"Hmm?"

He looked up to see the smirk on the (h/c)-haired male's face. "A little tip for ya before we start."

"Tip...?"

"If you're not careful...you might just get lost in the pits of hell."
