MEMORY LOSS AU - Gone

Kageyama POV
"Settle down Kageyama" Hinata tells me as we walk to the gym "Whatever you want to show me isn't going anywhere"

I can't help it, I'm so nervous.

What's Hinata going to do?
How is he going to react?
Will be even react at all?

To be honest, I've never really seen a video of the tiny giant either.

I guess since Hinatas told me so much about him I sort of just knew everything.

I guess this'll be my first time seeing him too.

"Yo" I say, walking into the gym and seeing everyone.

Most of them are already there, changed and getting set up.

Hinata goes to talk to someone and I run up to Sugawara.

"Suga" I say "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Is it about Hinata?" he asks, obviously knowing that's all I talk about nowadays.

"I have an idea to get him to start wanting to play again"

Obviously I wouldn't tell him about Hinatas headaches; if I did he would say no in an instant.

"What if we show him that video of that Tiny Giant guy?"

He seems a little surprised.
Maybe at the idea or that I thought of it.

"We don't have a tablet" he says "and I'm not even sure we have the recording"

"But we have to give it a shot!" I say back.

He sighs.

"Two weeks from now is our Nekoma training camp." he says "Can it wait till then?"

I nod.
"Thank you!"

When I looked back over to Hinata he was talking to Tanaka, who was impersonating a spiking motion with his arm.

Hinata tried to copy it, but even a total novice could tell that his technique was far from beginners level.

"Hey Kageyama!" He called to me in a genuinely happy tone.

"Look what Tanaba-senpai just showed me"

Turning around, he put his thumbs behind his back, trying to show off the text at the back of his jumper, just like we were taught when we first got our club jackets.

Except this time he had a hoodie with no writing on it.

"His name is Tanaka" I sigh.

Hinata looked over to him and Tanaka was shrugging his shoulders

Hinata quickly apologised, obviously embarrassed...

Hinata POV
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" I say frantically, bowing real low.

"Hey, it's ok" Tanaka says, practically having to pick me up to let me stand up straight.

Now that I think of it, besides Kageyama, Tanaka the only one on the team who's name I know.

"Sorry again..." I mumble as the captain huddled them all up for practice.

Rather than just aimlessly fiddling with the ball, this time I listened in.

I tried to remember which names they were calling as to not make the same mistake as earlier.

I guess the one with the stripe of blonde hair is 'Noya'

And the tall blonde one is 'Tsukishima.'

My head spun trying to remember everything all at once.

By the time practice ended I was just mumbling all their names to myself.

"Hinata!" Kageyama called. He was putting on his shoes and coming up next to me. "You free in two weeks?"

"In two weeks?" I ask "How would I know"

"Right! Of course..."

He seems really frantic and jumpy, like theres something on his mind.

"You alright...." I ask questionably.

"Of course I am!" he says back, much too loudly and much too quickly.

I wasn't convinced.

We got to the centre park when I told him that I knew my way.

"Are you sure?" he asks "It's just up that road but maybe I should go with you"

"Really, I'm fine!" I say. "I think I know my way now"

To be honest I really didn't, but Kageyama was much too panicky to walk with.

Maybe I should walk with him, after all in the state he's in he'd get lost easier than I would.

He left and I waved to him, and I looked around trying to find where to go.

"W-Was it this road" I mumbled to myself "O-Or this one?"

They both looked identical.

One of them said 'east street' and the other said 'Caple street'

I look at both of them, trying to decide where to go.

I decide to go down Caple Street. It was a surprisingly nice area, lots of greenery and flowers and stuff.

Then again, that's how I knew I was in the wrong area.

I remember walking to school beside brick was and graffiti, with the occasional greenery on an old couples front lawn.

I quickly tuned around.

The contrast from that street to the east one was so obvious it was kind of embarrassing that I hadn't realised it earlier.

This street wasn't all bad though; there were some school kids mad and old man even waved at me.

This place is far away from Karasuno, but it's still nice.

"Shouyo!" I heard a voice from behind me and turned around to see who it was.

"Harada!" I said "What are you doing round here?"

"Well I do live here after all" he said "And Saji just went home. I was just on my way over to your house"

"Yeah, I sort of got lost"

"Lost? But you've lived here your whole-"

He stopped mid sentence, looked at me strangely then started smiling.

"Can I ask you something, Shou?"

"Sure... I don't mind"

"What's my first name?"

I stared at him blankly.
This isn't good.
I have absolutely no idea.

I stutter before he says,

"So Saji was right. You really don't remember anything"

"N-No I do!" I lie loudly "It's uhh... It's..."

I look down, holding my chin and trying to think.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing"

When I looked back up, he was bent down and staring at me.

"Not for me anyways"

He had a strange expression on his face; not the playful one that I'd had seen him wear all day.

Before he looked like he was looking for something.

Now he looks like he'd just found that.

To be honest for the first time, I was honestly a little scared of his expression.

He stands up straight.

"Why don't you come with me. I want to show  you something"
