(88 days)

Since [Name] was just staying in Japan for a little bit, she didn't go to school but she waited until Tobio- kun would send her a text saying that practice was starting and she would run and show up everyday to practice and help the guys out the some drills and teaching Hinata how to receive.

"Oka- san, Oto- san! I'm going to Karasuno now!" [Name] yelled as she grabbed her bag and raced out the door.

She couldn't wait as to what practice had in-store for her. Upon arriving, she had already heard of the ball slamming against the floor and whistle blowing. She silently creeped in as she saw Tobio and Hinata tossing and practicing while everyone stretched.

"[Name]- san. Hello!" Kyoko- chan greeted and the girl bowed before smiling at the beautiful manager.

"Did they already have their practice match?" She asked, in which Kyoko nodded. Footsteps were heard as Takeda- sensei opened the door before falling on his face.

"Eh?! T-Takeda- sensei!" [Name] gasped as she looked at the fallen teacher. 

"W-We're going, right?" The teacher asked as he shot up.

"Where?" Hinata asked as Tobio told the teacher that his nose was bleeding.

"Tokyo!" He said, holding up a script of paper. The guys were suddenly excited about the thought. 

"Nekoma?! We're going to play against them?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah! But it won't be just Nekoma." Takeda- sensei continued as he wiped the blood off his nose.

"The Fukurodani Academy group. It's a group of schools from the Kanto region that includes Nekoma! Apparently they hold practice matches all the time! Thanks to Nekomata- sensei, Karasuno will be able to participate in their practice matches!"

The teacher finished and [Name], Tanaka and Nishinoya all gasped in excitement. "Relationships like that is hard to get into easily so we have to thank Nekomata- sensei and Takeda- sensei for begging." Keishin- sensei replied.

All the guys were fired up, taking about making sure to take down the City Boy Alliance, go past their block and so many more.

[Name] couldn't help but look at the guys in amazement. "This'll be our first long trip!

[Name] arrived to the gym just to find out that it was empty. 'They must've went to go out for a run or something. I'll just wait until they come back..' 

Walking to the bin of volleyballs, she went and started to practice many things. Since she was a libero, she couldn't serve the ball. But [Name] always loved to serve. No matter the pressure to make a service ace, no matter the destination of the ball. She admired the serve.

"Chisai. You're here all alone?" [Name] turned around to find Tsukishima drenched in sweat as he smirked at her. She continued to ignore the stupid nickname and his presence until he spoke. 

"Your serving sucks by the way."

He watched for a little while before saying something. The girl couldn't do an overhand serve even if her life depended on it.

"Yeah- well you smell! And Libero's can't serve so I never really practiced!" [Name] replied, walking up to him. Tsukishima smirked at the girl. 

"Do you want me to teach you?" He mocked at the girl.

Before she could say something the team walked in and sat as they waited for Takeda- sensei.
