The Broken Crow

Why were you there?

Hinata walked, a sleeping Natsu in his arms, his face red and blotchy,more tears spilling out of his eyes as he walked. Though he was crying and completely unaware of the group of high schoolers following him, he knew exactly where he was going. As he walked down the street, almost to his destination, he heard a crack. Not wanting to wake Natsu, Hinata slowly spun around, completely silent and praying that it wasn't who he thought it was. As he finished his turn, he saw it. It was worse than who he thought it was. When he turned around, Hinata saw all of Kurasuno standing there.

"Where are you going Hinata? I thought your house was in the mountains." Noya said, completely unaware of the damage that his question would cause. Hinata was still looking at the group, not knowing what to do. Should he run and think up his answers for tomorrow? Or should he answer all of their questions right then and there?

"Hey dumbass! Why aren't you at home?" Kageyama asked, not knowing that his yelling could wake Natsu up.

"Shush! I-I'll tell you tomorrow." Hinata hissed, noticing Natsu start to shiver and not wanting her to get sick. Kageyama looked at the smaller boy, and finally noticed Natsu in his arms. He was about to say something, but Hinata spun around on the balls of his feet and spirited away, leaving his team with many questions, and himself with having to out run the rest of his team. This usually wouldn't be a problem, except that now he had Natsu and both of their bags to carry.

Kgeyama stared after the boy, knowing he shouldn't go after him, but really wanting to. The rest of the team was standing there, Daichi and Suga looking thoughtful, the rest of them staring after the short middle blocker. Then Suga spoke up.

"We can ask him about it tomorrow. For now, we should all go home and get some rest." Suga decided, hoping that they would listen to him and not pursue Hinata. And luckily for him, they did. The group walked some ways together, slowly getting smaller as people took the turns to get to their houses.  

 "Hey Shou-Chan, come inside." Oikawa invited, stepping out of the way so Hinata could make his way inside. When Oikawa had closed the door, Hinata set Natsu gellatly down on the couch, draping his jacket over her small frame to keep her warm. When he turned around, he found Oikawa, standing much closer than he expected. Hinata took a few sharp breaths, hoping to stop the steady flow of tears from falling. After he had regained his composure, he looked up at the previously fuming, now worried Oikawa, who hadn't said a word since the group went inside.

"What happened this time Shou-chan?" Oikawa asked gently, hoping he wasn't pushing it. He was about to retract his question when Hinata clung to him.

"H-h-he kicked us out a-again a-and I c-c-an't se-nd her to school be-cause he'll go and g-et her and I d-on't know what to do." Hinata sobbed into the taller boy's chest quietly, not wanting Natsu to wake up and worry about him. Oikawa patted the boys head, knowing it was best to let him cry, because if he didn't cry about it now, he would just keep it inside of him. After a few minutes, Hinata pulled away, wiping the tears off his face and yawning.

"L-let's go t-o sleep." Hinata said groggily, half drowned out by a huge yawn. Oikawa giggled.

"Sure Shou-Chan, lets go. I'll carry Natsu, you get to futon out?" The taller boy said, much more tired than he would have liked to admit. Hinata nodded and started up the stairs, walking quietly as he didn't know if Oikawa's mother was home that night and didn't want to risk waking her. When he had finally made it to the room, he looked in the closet, immediately spotting the futon. Hinata reached up and dragged the futon down, making a little pohf as the airy futon hit the ground. He delicately unfolded the soft fabric, fluffing the pillow for Natsu. As the small boy finished fluffing the pillow, Oikawa walked in, a small, delicate Natsu in his arms, still sound asleep.
