Forever Souls (Kagehina)

Natsu

Natsu Hinata was the spitting image of her older brother Shoyo, who she loved and idolized. He was first person in their family, to have a soul mark at birth. She had been the one to notice that her brothers mark was a volleyball, which made him extremely happy.

Shoyo should be home from school around 8pm, after practice and his 30 minute bike ride home. It was Friday and there was no practice or school tomorrow. Hopefully they would be able to stay up late and watch a movie tonight.

It was already 8:30 and Shoyo still wasn't home yet.

"Mom? Where is Onii-san?" Natsu whined to her mother who was finishing up frying the fish on the stove.

"He should be here any minute, they had to make a stop first," Mrs. Hinata said, turning off the stove and removing the fish from the heat.

"They?" Natsu was confused.

"Natsu?!"

"Oni-chan!" Narsu ran towards the front door when she heard her brothers voice. "What took you so.....long?"

"Hey Natsu," Shoyo smiles, waving at his sister. Behind him is someone she's never seen before.

She looks up at the very tall boy with the grumpy face. "Who are you?"

"You can say hello," Shoyo nudged the taller boy in the ribs.

The tall raven haired boy bowed down and quickly looked at Natsu. "H-hello."

"Bwwaaaaahhhhh..." Shoyo laughed, holding his stomach.

"Shut up Dumbass!" He yelled down at Shoyo, attempting to grab his head, but missed.

"You're so bad with kids Bakayama," Shoyo laughed, walking next to his sister. "Natsu...this is my partner, Tobio Kageyama. Tobio...this is my little sister, Natsu."

Partner? What kind of partner? Is this his soulmate? Do they play games together? Do they take baths together? Do they hold hands? Do they...

"Is this your soulmate?" Natsu points up at Tobio as she looks at her big brother.

Shoyo stares at his sister...

Tobio blushes...

"...n-no, no, no..." Shoyo stutters, waving his hands in defense.

Mrs. Hinata can't stop laughing at the unexpected scene she just walked in on.

"You must be Tobio?" Mrs. Hinata smiles, extending her hand to the tall young man. "Shoyo has told me a lot about you and how much you love volleyball, maybe even more than him."

"Mom!" Shoyo blushes.

"Oh...ah...hello Mrs. Hinata," Tobio manages to say, shaking her hand. "It's nice to meet you. Thank you for letting me stay over."

"You love volleyball?!" Natsu's eyes widen and her face lifts up.

"Yes..." Tobio smiles, just a little.

"What position do you play?" She gleams up, grabbing Tobio's shirt. "Did you bring a ball? We have a net out side!"

"Natsu..." Shoyo blushes.

"It's fine, Shoyo," Tobio laughs, before looking down at the little orange haired girl with pigtails. "I'm a setter. I set the ball up and Shoyo hits it. I did bring a ball with me because we are going to practice our quick attack."

"Awesome...can I play too?!" She grins up at him.

"Of course," he smiles.

"...but I wanna play..." Shoyo whins, lips pouting.

Tobio starts laughing, claiming Shoyo's hair with his hand, ruffling his locks. "Like I can play without you, Dumbass."

Shoyo blushes, he really enjoys Tobio's fingers in his hair when he isn't using his Iron Claw on him. He tries to reach up to mess up Tobio's hair, but he's too tall.

"Damn it...you're too tall Bakayama," he laughs, his hands only reaching his Tobio's neck.

"Not my problem," Tobio laughs, keep his head upright, not allowing Shoyo to reach his hair.

"Stingy..." Shoyo whins, dropping his hands in defeat.

Natsu looks at her brother as he plays with Tobio. She's never seen him so happy before and he didn't even win the game they were playing.

"Onii-san...is Tobio your boyfriend?" She asks once more, leaning her head to the side.

Shoyo turns bright red and Tobio freezes, his laughter dying, but his fingers are still in Shoyo's hair.

"N-no Natsu," Shoyo laughs. "He's my partner on the court. We are definitely not dating, right?" He looks up at his partner.

"Yeah," Tobio smiles. "You'd probably never date someone so grumpy and obsessed with milk, right?"

"Right..." Shoyo laughs, his amber eyes focusing on Tobio's blue eyes. "And I'm sure you rather have a taller boyfriend who doesn't drool in his sleep."

"Preferably," Tobio laughs, finally letting go of Shoyo's hair. "But...I'd be alright with little annoyances like that, as long as they loved volleyball."

"Onii-san loves volleyball!" Natsu says, reminding the two boys that she was still there. "His soul mark is a volleyball..."

"Natsu..."

Tobio's eyes widen, his hands wrap around Shoyo's shoulders. "So is mine..."
