THE FALLEN ANGEL AT KARASUNO || HAIKYUU! FANFIC|| [HAITUS]

CHAPTER 38: QUALIFIER MATCHES

||3RD POV||

She thanked him as he dropped her off at the tournament, he smiled as he watched how she closed the door before walking to the building. He sighed as he leaned his forehead against the steering wheel, his hands clench around it as he releases a shaky breath, "Goddamnit... I'm too careless..." He lifts his head and bloodshot eyes were seen as he looked at the rearview mirror, he scowled as he recalled all those events that happened in the past week that she was absent. He drove off as he went back to work in a bitter mood and there was only one person who could make it better without trying but she wasn't next to him, which made it more bitter than ever.

Meanwhile, she saw Karasuno and yelled as she sprinted towards them, "Morning!" They look at her with sparkling auras when they realized that she's back but Tskushima and Kageyama had a dark aura as they narrowed their eyes at her. Once she was close, they placed their hands on her shoulder as they spoke in sync, "You're in so much trouble..." She trembled as a crooked smile appeared on her lips as she said, "Abot that... I have a reason why I went missing for a week." They roll their eyes at her as they released her and ignored her, she pouts as she walked with the group but Hinata pointed something out, "Huh? Aya-san, did you dye your hair again?" 

With a hum, she picks up a strand as she answered him, "Yes but no. The previous dye was a semi-permanent so I'm back to my REAL hair color which is a very very dark brown that resembles chocolate." She raised a brow when Hinata froze and she looks at where the source of his movement, she narrowed her eyes when she recognizes the blonde who flirted with her about a month or two ago. Like a cat, she hisses as she stood next to Kiyoko who reassuringly pats her shoulder. The male pushes Hinata's head to the side as he waved while exclaiming at the female managers, "Angel-chan! Glasses-chan! Be sure to give me your numbers today!"

She hisses louder and imaginary angry cat features appeared on her figure, causing the male to snicker silently and he notices something different about her. "Huh?" He said to himself and narrowed his eyes at the female who was cautious of him, "She looks cuter than ever. I just want to her hug to death." Apparently, Tanaka and Nishinoya didn't like that at all and they weren't alone. Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Kageyama, and others scowled while Tanaka and Nishinoya had flames around them as they leap at the blonde who had piercings.

She joins them as they jumped at the male but the two second years froze in mid-air when a female voice yelled something while she hisses as she was about to attack him but he caught her with a wide smile which made her pause for a second. He hugged her closely while their female manager was apologizing at the two who were in midair. Her voice was muffled as she was getting suffocated in his jacket while he was intoxicated with the scent that radiated off of her. A mixture of coffee, caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon was the scent that made him lose his sense until his female manager, Hana Misaki, pulled him away from the female who was pale from the lack of oxygen that she was getting.

He pouts as he watches how the brunette hid behind Kageyama like a cat that was on high alert, he could literally see a tail whipping around as she stared him down. He shrugs while turning around as he stated, "Well, see you in the first match." She clicked her tongue in distaste as she realized that he was from Johzenji High, the first team that they're going to play. Kageyama muttered as he watches where they went, "So they're... The team that was at the Inter-High semifinals." They except the brunette looked at the doors, Hinata stated, "This goes without saying, but..." 

Kageyama looks at him with a raised brow and she did the same as she stood on the other side of the orange-haired male, who ended with, "They're all here. Right here." Her eyes flashed a dark look when she knew who he was talking about and licked her lips as the two gulped while straightening their postures. She froze when the two sprinted into the building while roaring, We're gonna beat them all!" She walked after with a bounce in her step and the rest sighed at the scene that just happened in front of them.

She lost Hinat on the way but ran into Aone who bowed his head at her and she smiled brightly as she held out her arms to which he almost smiled too. He wrapped his arms around her and she giggled as she greeted the male, "Aone-kun! Good to see you again! I really enjoyed the game from before and I want to play against you guys again." She pats his head as he nods in agreement and he lets go of her as she continued, "You haven't seen our number 10 anywhere did you? I kinds lost him." He shakes his head and she sighs with a disappointed smile, she nods as she continued searching, she bowed her head as she said her farewells, "Well, it was good to see you again, Aone-kun!"

In a manner, she ran into Ushijima on the way and she yelped with fright when she bumped into his chest. He held her by her biceps as he asked with a raised brow while looking down at her, "Are you okay, Fallen Angel?" She lets out a strained laugh as she pushed herself off of him but he didn't let go of her, "I'm fine, Ushijima-kun but could you please release me?" She leaned back when he leaned closer to her and stared into her confused yet curious irises which seemed to shine and glaze over under the lights. Slowly, he lets go of her and walked away in silence, leaving her confused form alone. 

She shrugs as she continued to look for the orange-haired male, as she turned a corner, she was crushed into a hug and an annoying voice yelled, "Angel-chan! You're here unlike last time!" Her arms were captured in Oikawa's arms while Iwaizumi glared at the male who had a flowery aura around him, he punched the male brunette against the head which caused him to lean closer to the female who yelped from the movement. It was eerie quiet when all three realized what happened, her eyes widen as her cheeks turned flush red while the tip of his ears was pink as they stared at each other. What happened you ask? Well, when Iwaizumi punched Oikawa's head, he accidentally kissed the female who yelped.

Slowly, he pulled away, and her lips that had her see-through lip balm on slightly stuck to his until he was far enough. She escaped his hold with a flustered look while exclaiming as she ran away, abandoning the fact she was supposed to look for Hinata, "I'm sorry!" The two were silent until Oikawa stated in a blunt tone, "Iwa-chan." He looks at the male who was dead quiet with a pale yet regretful face as he stared where she disappeared to, he continued and his childhood friend looked at him, "I don't know if I should thank you for the inconvenience or whine." At that statement, a fight between the two became about the cutely flustered female.

Meanwhile, she was with the rest of the team as Seijoh was on court B for their first match and Shiratorizawa was on court A. She got out of her tracksuit and her new uniform caught the audience's attention from a mile away. She knew that the attention would be on her if she would be wearing her old uniform that was still similar to Karasuno's uniform but just in different colors. She stuffed her tracksuit into her duffle bag and got up, she breathed in and held it for a few seconds as she clenches her taped fingers. Slowly, she releases it and her eyes were like a predator that was waiting for the prey to do its move, waiting to strike and she went to line up with the rest. Her hair was pulled in a high yet tight ponytail, her eyes met with the blonde from across the net and she mouthed as she licked her lips,

"Be prepared, 

pretty boy..."
