"I can't spike as high as spikers do, I can't set as good as setters, but I am the libero. My job is to keep the ball in the air and don't let it hit our court. I'd guard your backs with my life if I had to."

Ten Years Ago:
"Sakura! Here I go!" Saru said as he positioned the ball on his hand.
"Okay! Nice serve!" I shouted as I bend my knees and put both of my arms together.
Saru served the ball using his arm. The ball spun around the air highly. I adjusted my position so I could receive the ball in my arms.
As the ball went down, it landed on my face instead of my arms. I lost my balance and fell butt first on the ground. The ball got my nose, it hurts so much.
"Ah sorry!" I heard my twin brother shout. I rubbed the spot where it hurted. Tears were forming in my eyes.
"Stupid Saru! Every time I try to receive, your serves will always hit my face!" I yelled at him.
"Uhm, that's because you always position your face where the ball will hit." Saru replied.
I got irritated and tears fell from my eyes. "I don't want to play volleyball with you anymore!" I got up and ran outside of the house.
Stupid Saru. Stupid volleyball. It's not like I play volleyball just because I wanted to. My mother was an ace player in her volleyball team when she was in high school. Saru and I got interested when we saw our mother do an amazing jump serve.
"Mom where are we?" I asked my mother who took us to a place unknown to us. "To a place where I enjoy the most!" They called it a gym. It was so enormous! A net separated the two sides of the court. The ceiling was so high and the floor was so shiny and kinda slippery.
Mom grabbed a ball that was colored blue and yellow. "Sweeties, I like you to introduce you to volleyball!"
"Ooh!" Saru and I were in awe. "What does volleyball-san do?"
"Volleyball-san makes me look cool!" Mom grinned widely as she threw the ball upward. Mom started running then she jumped high and she slapped the ball.
