SOULMATES ( A HAIKYUU MULTIPLE X FEM READER )

Chapter 7: JUMP ON IN! THE MURDER OF CROWS EXPANDS!

It's been about a week since our practice match with Seijoh. Things had calmed down. Tobi and Hinata had continued practicing nonstop for the upcoming InterHigh prelims. As I walked into the gym I saw Tobi, water bottles lined up and Hinata on the floor. I deadpanned. I guess this is nothing out of the ordinary. Tobi said he was working on his jumped serve, that is, until Hinata came along messing things up. "Hinata, stand on the side with me. I want to see how Tobi's serve is coming along." As he was walking over Tobi sent his serve. Strong, good height, nice control, I was proud. The ball was about to hit its target before a gust of wind came by. That wind was a boy; a boy who received Tobi's serve perfectly. This must be the libero Daichi was talking about. He was fast, not too tall with spiked brown hair and blonde tuft in the middle. "TOBI, FIX YOUR FACE"' I yelled. I then heard a yell from the boy saying "I'M 5'2, THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YA." Hinata started crying tears of joy over having someone to "look down on". I laughed. Suga, Tanka and Daichi had come in.

T: LONG TIME NO SEE NISHINOYA! Hey (P/N)!

"Hi boys" I waved.

N: OH HEY, WHO ARE YOU?

D: Oh that's right, you haven't met yet. This is (P/N), she's a first year and the new medic for the team. This Yu Nishinoya, he's a second a year.

Tobi, Hinata and myself all greeted Nishinoya before his focus shifted to Tobi. I was about to walk away to change when suddenly my wrist was being pulled.

N: I MEAN LOOK AT THESE THINGS!

I blushed "EXCUSE ME!"

N: The female uniforms are the absolute hottest, and the females aren't too bad themselves.

He winked and I blushed. "Um Senpai, Can you please let me go? I'd like to go change before practice starts."

N: SENPAI, ME! I MEAN HOW CUTE IS SHE? DAICHI WHERE'D YOU GET THIS GIRL? ARE YOU SURE WE CAN KEEP HER! I'M SORRY, GO ON AHEAD AND CHANGE. TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED.

When I came back I helped Kiyoko set up. Noya had started helping Hinata practice his receives. The day after, Mr. Takeda had said that at the end of the upcoming Golden Week training camp, we would be playing Nekoma. Nekoma, that was Aiko's school. I wonder how her first year is going. Has she made any friends? Does she like Tokyo? I should call her. Why am I so nervous? It's not like we had ended on a bad note, we just lost track of time. Practice ended and with that I went home and continued to think. What if she doesn't remember who I am? No that's not possible. She was always so sweet. When I woke up, I still hadn't decided. So many questions in my head. I walked into morning practice and met Karasuno's Ace or previous Ace. He was tall, but so timid. A sweet smile and a gentle soul. How could this guy really be an Ace? I heard his story about the Iron Wall, and the crushing defeat, but that was no reason to quit. He should get back out there. Wait, aren't I doing the same thing though? Hiding behind the fear of what if. What if she isn't happy to hear from me? What if there's a reason we grew apart? I couldn't call her. As I walked into afternoon practice I was introduced to our new coach. "Hey Tobi, is this the Ukai you were talking about? He looks a lot younger than I pictured."

U: The Ukai you're talking about is my grandpa, but this is only temporary. It's just until the Nekoma game. Now, let's not waste anymore time. I set you up a game for 6:30. So come on, let's see what you've got.

As the boys set up I formally introduced myself to the coach.

U: Medic, huh. If you want a future in sport medicine, you've got to train with these boys too. How do you expect to know what they're feeling if you don't know yourself. HEY DAICHI, FROM NOW ON SHE'S IN CHARGE ON WARM UPS AND COOL DOWNS.
