"I've got it!" Oumouna called. She received the ball and sent it to Uko. Uko then set it to Amaterasu, her spiking it and gaining a point for our team.

The current score was 22:23, we were two points away from beating them and winning the last set.

It was my turn to serve again, meaning I was probably going to mess it up, again. I stood with the ball as I bounced it up and down, letting it smack against the floor a few times until I heard the whistle. I threw the ball up and jumped, doing a jump serve and sending the ball hurdling over the net. I smiled to my self for a second, glad it got over.

Then the ball was received and then spiked over and luckily Rori received the ball, sending it to Uko. Uko went to set it, or at least I thought. Right when the other team went to block Amaterasu, Uko did a setter dump, and the ball fell to the ground, earning us a point. Now both my team and Inarizaki were tied.

Rori high-fived Uko and everyone cheered for the point that we got. The ball was thrown back to me and I breathed in, hoping I wouldn't screw it up this time. Serving wasn't my....best technique. We were one point away from winning the set, that's all we needed.

Rori looked over at me and gave me a thumbs up and a toothy grin. I gave her back a small smile and the whistle was then blown. I threw the ball up and jumped, hitting it over.

It was going well, they received it and spiked it over. "I've got it!" Rori called and once again received it. The ball was then sent to Uko and she set it to Nimachyui. Nimachyui jumped up, her arm coming around to spike the ball.

Then a shadow came up, covering Nimachyui, and out of no where Natsuki was floating in mid air. My eyes widened once I seen that she had raised her arm to spike it downwards. Natsuki had this look on her face, a more determined look than last time. Her eyes were set on the ball and it gave me chills.

Nimachyui noticed too and hit the ball diagonally, just as Natsuki swung her arm. The ball skidded off her forearm and right to her side, landing on the ground.

Rori bust out, sliding on her knees. "TAKE THAT YOU BOASTER." She said proudly. I smiled proudly, seeing as I didn't mess up my serves this time. Oumouna danced around and Uko and Rori made faces at Natsuki as she stared us down.

We stood at the line and bowed. "Thank you for the game!" We all said. Both teams then went back to there coaches and waited patiently as the different coaches were supposed to give us feed back.

The other coach walked over to us, their manager behind them. We all bowed. "I am Coach Kaichi and this is Tsuni." He introduced his self and the manager. He was a tall man with flat, black hair with glasses. He gave off a weird vibe honestly, and I didn't like it. Coach Kaichi must have been in his late twenty's or early thirty's, telling by his facial hair, he had a horrible after shave.

Rori elbowed me and leaned over, leaning towards me ear. "The guy kinda looks like he does drugs.." she whispered to me. Both me and Rori looked at him, then back at each other and began to slightly chuckle. Uruoiku must have noticed because she stepped on both of our shoes causing us to stop and hold in our screams.

Coach Kaichi looked at us, giving me and Rori a disapproving look. He cleared his throat. "Ehem..." he started. "...you play well, but it didn't seem that you guys really had a plan." He said. "Your techniques are good and you guys are observant but you must learn how to play well with each other and work together in order to win." He said and pushed up his glasses. "You managed to win just by a little bit of luck today." Kaichi spoke.

Most of what he as saying was true, none of us really had a plan, but what else were we supposed to do? We still haven't gotten a grip on how everyone plays together and so far all I know is, is that Uruoiku and Rori can do some quicks and Nimachyui and Amaterasu can block well. Coach Kaichi nodded, signaling he was done and we all bowed. "Thank you!"

I walked off of the bus and seen Ushi waiting for me. I waved bye to the others and told them I'd see them at practice the next day, making my way to Ushi.

He peered down at me and scooped my bag out of my hands, throwing it over his shoulders. "So how was your practice game?" He asked as we began walking. I walked along side him.

It must have been around 6 maybe 7pm, as the sky was gradually getting darker.

I shrugged. "We won." I spoke as I looked around. Ushi glanced down at me, a smug look on his face. "Who did you go up against today, if you don't mind me asking?" He said.

We rounded the corner and left the parking lot of the school, making our way down the sidewalk and towards our house.

"We went against Inarizaki High." I said slowly.

In all honesty, I was proud of my self for beating Natsuki. After her boasting about her self, saying that she was going to beat us. It felt good to land that last point. However, if we really wanted to see who were to win, we would have done another set. We didn't have much time to do another, so we left it at the last, which we won.

Ushi nodded. "That means you went against Natsuki Reo right?" He spoke as we walked across the seat.

The house came into view and a little bit of relief bloomed in my heart. I was super tired after today's practice game, especially blocking against Natsuki.

I nodded as we walked up the walkway to the front door. Ushi unlocked it. "I went to a training camp a while back and she was there." He said. We both walked in the house and took off our shoes.

I looked up at him. "Why was she there?" I asked curiously, but concerned. Ushi looked down at me, a look of amusement on his face. "It wasn't just her, her entire team was there." He said. He walked away and took his and my bag into the laundry room, emptying the clothes into the washer.

I followed him, wanting to know more. Ushi started the washer and walked back out, his amused look not going away. He seemed to be ignoring me. I followed after him once again and groaned. "Oh come on Ushi, I want to know why she was there." I said irritated. He walked back to the front door and set our bags down.

He turned around to face me and crossed his arms. "It seems to me that you're really interested in knowing about her." He spoke. "May I ask why?" He said. I frowned at him.

"Because she said she was going to beat us this year." I spoke. "Rori told me that it's her last year, so she's a third year, and that means she's going to try her absolute hardest this year to make sure she beats us." I said annoyed.

Ushi smiled, he breathed out, satisfied with my answer. "She was there to get extra practice, there coach had talked to the people running the training camp to see if their team could get special train, from what I heard." He spoke.

I didn't really know what to think. With her going to the boys training camps, that must mean she's pretty strong. So that means she's planning to go to nationals.

Ushi looked at the time, taking his phone out and sighing. "Well kiddo, it looks to me that it's getting late, so I suppose you fix something to eat and go to bed soon." He spoke and started to make his way to the stairs. "I'm off to study, so goodnight y/n." He said and waved me bye.

I gave him a smile, watching him walk up the stairs. "I'll make sure to eat, goodnight Ushi." I said, seeing him give me a thumbs up. He then disappeared into the long, dark hallway, leaving me standing at the front door.
