[Third Person]

Some of the groups were now making they're way back to the camp just before lunch.

"Bokuto-san, please stop.." Akaashi said with annoyance in his voice, "But Kaaaashii! I'm starving!" Bokuto exclaimed, slouching as he walked, Bokuto had been complaining about his empty stomach all morning and it was starting to get on everyone's nerves, "Brokuto, you need to shut up... please." Kuroo said as he wrapped his arm around the owls neck.

As the duo we're bickering back and forth with Akaashi about to burst, Oikawa and Iwaizumi just sitting back, watching and Sugawara trying to stop them. Hinata and Kenma were having their own conversation, mostly talking about video games or volleyball, whatever it was, the two we're enjoying each other's company.

But the feeling of someone watching Hinata never left.

The orangette started to feel more uncomfortable by each second, it didn't take long for a Kenma to notice the uncomfortable aura surrounding Hinata.

"Shouyou, are you ok?" Kenma said with a quiet voice, Hinata was quite for a split second before stuttering, "Y-yeah! I'm fine!" A small frown appeared on the puddings face, he knew something was off since day one... but what was it?

[Hinata's POV]

It was only a good twenty minute walk from where we were now to camp.

I could feel a wet, sticky goo ooze down my arm- oh no...no no no no! Please not now, why now!?

My arm stung as the fabric of my clothes kept touching the " " ...my whole body was starting to hurt now- I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream but no... I just kept my smile in place while talking to Kenma. Maybe if Kuroo wasn't tackling me playfully before - then it would hurt so much now.

help...

I think people are catching on to me by now... thank god tomorrow is the last day, maybe I can ask Yachi to look after Natsu for the weekend? No, Yachi has her own things to do... I'll just have to protect her Natsu more and be more on guard when he's around.

"Shouyou?!" Kenma said, I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him, "Are you sure your ok?" He asked, "I'm fine, Kenma!" I said smiling.

Fine?

...

Does that word even mean anything now...?

[Third Person]

Everyone was sitting down at the tables eating lunch, talking away with the people next or across from them, but... there were a few people missing.

Kageyama, Hanamaki and Hinata were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, Where's your freak duo?" Kuroo asked Daichi, "Kageyama will be here soon, he said he had something to do but with Hinata, I don't know." Daichi replied as he took a mouth full of food, as he said that, Karasuno's No.9 walked through the doors on his way to get his own food.

Hanamaki walked in not long after and went straight to his table sitting next to Matsukawa, but there was no sign of the small ginger. "Oi, where's Hinata?" Kageyama asked as he sat down next to Yamaguchi, "I don't know, I haven't seen him since we got back." Yamaguchi said, "I'll go find him." Sugawara sighed as he stood up.

[Sugawara's POV]

I walked out of the dining hall thinking where Hinata could be. After a good few seconds, I decided to head towards to toilets, hoping that he would be there.

I let out a long sigh as I began my journey towards the toilets, how exciting- anyways, it didn't take me long to get there as the two places were just down the hall from each other. On my way, I started humming a song that had been stuck in my head... I can't remember the song but the artist is someone like Cavetown?

I was now in front of the toilets but before I entered, I could hear a faint sob.

I opened the door and walked into the toilets, the sound was more audible and it was definitely someone crying, "Hello?" I said, but silence was what I got in return and so I ventured more into the place now standing in front of the only toilet stall that was closed.

"Hinata?" I said and again... silence, "Hey~ Hinata, you in there?" I said again as I knocked on the stall, it only took a few seconds for me to be startled by the sudden sound of the toilet flushing, the door then opened revealing our No.10

We looked at each other for a few seconds, enough for me to analyse his face... his puffy eyes and slightly red face gave it away.

"Hey Sugawara-san!" He said smiling, his voice was raspy and his sleeves were also wet, "Hinata... have you been crying?" I mentally slapped myself as the words just rolled off my tongue, "Aha! Nope, just poked my eye!" Hinata said popping the 'p', "Right.."

Hinata moved out of the stall and walked past me.

I don't know why I did it but I managed to grab Hinata by his forearm and pulled him back slightly which I immediately regreted as he let out a pained noise, which surprised me...

But then that's when I remembered-
