Hinata's POV

The girl left all of us in the box and it was starting to smell in here. Dumb Kageyama was taking up so much room too.

"Hey! Get out of my space!" I told him and he turned around to glare at me like he always does.

"No, you get out of my space. You dumbass!" He yelled. I was about to argue back when Sugawara hit both of us with his wings.

"You two need to stop this. Do you not remember what the girl told us? Do you not remember how quickly she hid us and how angry her mom sounded when she came home. Think of what would happen if her mom found us!" He told us and I looked at the cardboard below us after I took a step away from Kageyama.

Suga can be very scary sometimes. I wonder what happened to the other boy that was with Kairi. He seemed very familiar, but I can't remember who he was. He was very nice to me, and he didn't seem to like Kageyama, so I immediately liked him.

I ended up looking back up and started to walk over to Nishinoya and Tanaka, who were both quietly arguing about who looked cooler. When I heard them, I turned around and went to go sit with Yachi, who was sitting next to Kiyoko.

"Hey, Yachi." I tried smiling at her, but it wasn't working.

It's hard to smile with a beak.

"Hey, Hinata." She said quietly.

Daichi, Sugawara, and Asahi came over to sit with us and they started talking with Kiyoko.

"How do you think we got this way? I mean what did we do to become crows?" Daichi asked the group.

"I don't know what we did. But we need to find a way to fix to this problem. And in the meantime, lets think about this positively. This could really help us all bond better together." Sugawara said while keeping an eye on Nishinoya and Tanaka, who were still arguing.

They went quiet and pretty soon, we all started getting sleepy. Tsukishima was in the corner and Yamaguchi was leaning against him. Noya and Tanaka we're leaning against each other a little ways away from me. The other 3 second years were already all asleep in another corner. Kageyama was sitting alone in the corner opposite of the second years. In our corner, Kiyoko had her wing around Yachi, who was sleeping. Asahi was leaning against Sugawara, who was leaning against Daichi. I got up to go sit next to a lonely Kageyama. I settled down next to him and closed my eyes, thinking about what happened to all of us.

*Hinata's Dream*

We were on our way to our practice game against Fukurōdani. I was sitting next to Kageyama who was looking out the window and ignoring me. My eyes glanced to find out who was sitting in front of us and saw Tsukishima and Yamaguchi. Tsukishima had his headphones on, and Yamaguchi was looking out the window. I heard Nishinoya's voice and turned around in my seat to see him and Tanaka looking out the windows.

"Hey, what are you guys looking at?" I asked them and they both turned to gawk at me.

"Oh, uh, we are just playing I-Spy and this show off over here is cheating!" Tanaka said as he grabbed Noya's head and started messing up his hair. Noya started pushing himself away from Tanaka and yelled at him.

"Am not! You just suck at this game!"

"Hey guys! Calm down alright?" Daichi told them.

"Yes. Please be quieter." Kiyoko said as she turned around to look at them. They immediately sat back down in their seats, and they calmed themselves. Kiyoko turned back around, and both of my upperclassmen faces turned tomato red.

Up front, Coach Ukai and Takeda Sensei were talking about the upcoming game. I looked back at Kageyama and noticed his eyes were closed. I closed my eyes too to try to relax and save my energy.

A few minutes later, I heard Ukai yell and then we were off the road. I didn't know why we were going off the road, but it was really scary. Our van was plunged into the thick trees and the last thing I saw before we crashed was a crow.

*BANG*

I jolted up and saw everyone else suddenly wake up too. No one said anything. The sound came from downstairs and was soon followed by fast footsteps coming up the stairs. The door to the room we were in opened and then was slammed hard, making all of us jump again. It was silent until we heard a sniffle, then the sound of crying filled our ears. We all got up curiously. I heard the bed squeak as someone laid on it.

"Hey, Hinata, come over here to help us." Daichi told me. He, Sugawara, and Asahi were in the corner and trying to move the towel so they could see outside the box. I made my way over there and everyone came over too.

Eventually, I got ahold of the towel in my beak thanks to Daichi and Asahi lifting me up. I pulled on the towel and moved it to the side, leaving a hole big enough for me to get through. Daichi and Asahi both pushed me back up through the hole I made. I grabbed onto the side of the box and looked at the room we were stuck in. I started walking towards the desk that we were next to.

If I can move this stack of sticky notes into the box, it'll be easier for everyone to get out.

I tried pushing it, but it was heavier than I expected. I looked back at the box and saw Yachi on the edge of the box. She looked scared and she made her way over to the desk. Nishinoya appeared on top of the box too. Then Tanaka came up after him, knocking him off the box. He ended up losing his grip on the box and he fell off. Yachi, Tanaka and I all watched him fall onto the ground. He landed with a thud and the crying from the bed stopped.

"Oops-" Tanaka said while trying to hold his laughter in. I saw Kairi get up off her bed and walk over to us. She picked up Noya and then set him on the desk. She removed the towel covering the rest of my team and picked up all of them and put them on the desk. Sugawara ran to Nishinoya and started asking if he was okay. He then smacked Tanaka for not being patient. I saw his actions bring a small smile to Kairi's face.

"Just like the mom." She whispered and pet Sugawara's head gently. She moved the box off the chair and sat in it. All of us watched her movements and then she said to us, " You guys need to stay quiet no matter what. If you need to go to the bathroom . . . then go in the box. You don't have to stay in there. Please don't break anything either. And if I find bird droppings somewhere besides in the box, all of you are getting put outside." She threatened, taking a breath. "I don't have any food for you guys right now. You'll have to wait until morning." And with that, she got up and grabbed her book bag, throwing it on the bed. She took a pencil from the cup behind Yamaguchi and went to go work on homework on her bed.

"Well that's something I don't miss." Tanaka said while looking around. "Having to do homework was worse than getting yelled at by coach for not showing up on time."

It was 4 hours later when Kairi finally turned off the lights. It was weird because we could see in the dark so much better now. All of us, besides Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, and dumb Kageyama, made our way to the bed and we snuggled up next to Kairi. We all fell asleep peacefully.
