The Smallest Of Crows

Chapter 8 - Going Away Practice Matches

Notes

Y/n - Your Name

---------------------------------

3rd Person P.O.V

It was early in the morning and the crows were at school getting ready to leave their hometown and go to Tokyo to play practice matches with four other teams. Tiredly, they all get into the bus and sleep on the way to Tokyo, leaving two baby crows behind for not passing an exam.

~~~~~

After seven long hours they finally made it to Tokyo. The second years hurried the tired first years out of the bus as the two simple minded second years of Karasuno pointed at a cell tower.

"WOOAAHH IS THAT THE SKY TREE" Noya exclaimed, excited

"No, that's just a cell tower" one of the Nekoma players stated as a certain rooster haired leader snickered. While everyone was getting all their stuff, the Nekoma and Karasuno captains made small talk with one another.

"Hey, aren't you missing a few?" Kuroo questioned

"Ah well...they failed an exam so they're retaking it, they should be coming back sometime soon though"

"Ooh I see. What about your coach?"

"Which one?"

"You know, the girl"

"Why" Daichi gave a suspicious look to Kuroo as Kuroo chuckled putting his hands up in defense.

"I'm just asking since I don't see her as well. Did she fail an exam as well?"

"No she didn't. She actually dropped out so she doesn't have to worry about exams. Look, there she is now" Daichi said as Kuroo turned to look over. Lo and behold there was Y/n as she was in some black leggings and running shoes with a baby pink sweater with a grey ball cap on. She yawned, rubbing her eyes a bit as she looked over at the two as she smiled and waved which made both captains wave back.

"Think you can share?" Kuroo questioned looking at Daichi as he looked back at Kuroo and scoffed.

"In your dreams" he said and started to walk as Kuroo followed snickering a bit.

Y/n's P.O.V

I made my way over to Yachi and Kiyoko til Taketora startled us from the front.

"T-THREE GIRLS NOW!?" he exclaimed as Tanaka came in front of us.

"Can you see the power of Karasuno" Tanaka made a weird face as Kiyoko, Yachi, and I left the two alone.

We soon made it into the gym as most teams were already playing, it was just us who made it last. I looked at all four powerhouses and their moves as I smiled. The boys started playing once they were done stretching, and they weren't doing too well especially since Hinata and Kageyama weren't here yet. I watched as our team continuously lost over and over again.

"Kiyoko-San" I said looking at Kiyoko

"Hm?" she hummed looking at me

"Can I see the clipboard?"

"Sure, but what for?"

"So I can hit myself with it" I say as she then shook her head

"I'm sorry Y/n-San, but I do not want you to injure yourself. I understand how hard it must be to be losing to every team but it's okay" I looked at her as she gave me a soft, angelic smile. "We'll start winning soon" I soon nodded, smiling back. 

As countless of hours and losses went by the door to the gym opened as I looked over to see Tanaka's older sister, and saw Kageyama and Hinata. I smile and sigh in relief, thankful that they were able to make it in time before we had to clean up. Both boys got into their gym clothes and started to play to their hearts content and finally got us to win a few matches before we had to go in and call it a day.

~The Next Day~

I watched as our team was kicking butt for a bit. But after a while, our quick attack started to not work out well anymore for the other teams as they started to become accustomed to it. I sighed as I watched Kageyama and Hinata fight about it as they went outside. I sighed quietly as I continued to watch the games becoming bored. I went over to Coach Nekomata to make some small talk.

"Your team is doing pretty well, but the others are catching up" he said having a smug look on his face as I puffed out my cheeks a bit.

"Oh yeah? Well it looks like your team ain't doing so hot either. One doesn't seem to listen very well and the other looks like he almost doesn't want his arms broken off" I stuck my tongue out at him as he chuckled.

"Yet we still manage to beat you" he says, still having his smug look making me get a bit pissed off as I huffed out of frustration making him snicker a bit.

"I guess I can admit..." I muttered as he looked at me with a questioning look. "That we suck..." I said sulking as he chuckled. "It's really pissing me off though..." I say as I watched the other teams play. 

"Why not show them then?" he questioned

"Coaches don't play" I say as he chuckled. I then stretched a bit. "I better get going, I'm heading off to visit the old man, he got discharged a few days ago so thought I could stop by" I say smiling as he nodded.

"Tell the old man that I said hi to him. Tell him to watch one of the games as well, he'll be amused with the new team members." I nodded smiling as I went to go find my brother, humming a small tune to myself. I soon found my brother as I slapped his back as he hunched forwards a bit as he looked at me and glared as I smiled. "Ready to take me to the old man?" I questioned as he sighed.

"Right, I forgot about that. Let's get going then" he said as I nodded, smiling. Telling Takeda-Sensei that he was going to leave for a bit, we both got in the van with some of my luggage and headed off to the old man's place. I smiled as I looked out the window, watching people, trees, and all sorts of things pass by. It's a long time since I saw the old man, I'm sure he's the same as ever.
