Hiding In The Stars.

Questioning.

Yachi was stood outside of the gym, taking some deep breathes, when Hinata and Kageyama came up behind her, making her jump. "So, Coach wants to talk, eh?" Kageyama started, attempting to make small talk between the three, as it was oddly silent. "I saw some officers before so I can only imagine they're here for us. But I don't know why. I can't think why. Is it about the attack? I know a couple of girls from their volleyball team got taken out of class earlier, and when they came back in they were distant, strange, I mean. Quieter, not answering as many questions. Have you seen Daichi today?" He asked, almost slapping himself to regain focus. 

"Um- No, actually, you'd think he'd be here because of this, unless he didn't know, or unless he was sick. But in all the time I've been here, he's never even been ill- not a cold or anything." Hinata commented, and Yachi remained silent. "Are you ok, Yachi?" He asked, noticing his friends odd silence, when usual she'd join in, making a comment that defines her innocence. "You seem- Not ok. Distant." 

"Oh. Right. I guess I'm just nervous." She said, half-laughing. 

"Nervous, why? Its probably nothing. We were told to wait outside until we were called in by either Mr.Takeda or Coach Ukai...Are we the first here?" The first years looked at each other, and then around. They saw the second years a little further away, just hanging out, each seeming a little to nervous to move. "Yeah, we're the first." Kgeyama finished, as Coach Ukai opened the door to the gym. 

"Ah, hello, you three. Come in. No need to get changed today, so don't worry." He stepped aside so the kids could come in. After momentary confusion, the three came into the hall, and sat on the floor in front of the board in a semi-circle, putting their bags infront of their feet. Kageyama was about to ask what was going on, and then he saw the board wasn't there, and Mr. Takeda was talking to two Officers, a male and a female. Kageyama gently nudged Hinata with his arm, who gasped and looked up to see the same thing that Kageyama was, as Coach Ukai walked back over and the two officers looked up and at the three. "Ah, right, Officers, meet three of the third years. Shoyo Hinata, Tobio Kageyama and Hitoka Yachi." Coach Ukai introduced the three, and the male officer looked Yachi up and down. 

"Why's the girl here? I thought this was the boys team and that all members of the girls team had been told?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of Yachi. 

"I-Um...heh." Yachi started, but couldn't finish it. The officers eyes seemed to stare into her soul, and she found herself cowering. She had to remind herself that she wasn't in danger, and that he was here to help her. "I'm just- Uh." She sighed and put her head in her hands, like she always did. 

"Hey, can you not?" Kageyama started. 

"Kags-" Hinata tried to stop him by putting a hand around his friend and gesturing to her. "Stop it. Come on. She can explain later. Yachi, nobody here's going to hurt you." He moved around so he was facing her, and she very slowly lifted her head. "It's going to be fine." 

"Is she ok?" Annother females voice rang out from the doorway. 

"Did she-"

"No, she didn't." Kageyama said, before the other boy could finish his question. "Someone just- preyed a little bit." 

"Ah, our third years," Coach Ukai started on the officers, drawing attention away from the crowd, as the third years came in and Yachi settled down. "Kiyoko Shimizu, Koshi Sugawara, Asahi Azumane, and our Captain, Daichi Sawamura has taken today off for...personal reasons."

"Doesn't that seem suspicious to you, Coach?" The officer asked. "And why two girls on the boys team?"

"Suspicious? Daichi? No, him and...her...they're practically family. So even though she's fine, he's taking a day off to collect his thoughts, and sort out his emotions." Suga said, from next to Asahi. 

"And how do you know that?" The officer asked him, turning on his heel to face him. "Have you been in contact with him?"

"Have I been...Yeah, He's my..." Suga took in a breath, stoping himself and looking at Kiyo, who nodded. "Partner. Daichi's my...Partner."

"Suga and Daichi are close as anything. Two peas in a pod, been really close since the day they met. Partners in crime, I suppose." Kiyo covered for him. "And if you must know why there are two girls on the boys team, I'm the current manager, and am waiting to pass down the torch to Yachi here once I've graduated, possibly a little before that." 

A little later, the entire team had arrived, and were all sat in a semi-circle. The board still hadn't been pulled out, as it usually would have been, and nobody was in their gym uniforms. Not even Mr. Takeda. The boys all knew something was up, because the officers were stood there and they had been invited into the gym and hadn't just arrived and gone to get changed as they normally would've done. "All right, so the last time I called you all here was because of some good news." Coach Ukai said, addressing everyone. "Unfortunately, this is not the case. Firstly, you may notice, Daichi, your captain, and your friend, arguably the glue of this team, is missing. He has and will be taking some time off the next few days for personal reasons, so there will be no official practice this week, however if anyone wishes, they are still free to use the gym everyday, just let us know earlier in the day. Us being myself and Mr. Takeda, in this situation, Shimizu and Hitoka cannot help you, unfortunately. Now, lets get to the point. Yui Michimiya, the captain of the girls volleyball team, was recently attacked, and I don't just mean online, online we can handle. I mean physically." There was a stunned silence, and then the boys erupted in anger. It took a little bit for them to calm down again, and odd words and mumbles came back to Yachi, but she wasn't really paying attention. Herself and the rest of the third and also Tssukishima and Yamaguchi, which made the officer bear down on them. 

"And why do they not have much of a reaction to this news, sir?" He said, looking at Coach Ukai. 

"Michimiya told us herself that the third years and Yachi helped her that day, and Tssukishima and Yamaguchi...I'm not quite sure about. Tssukishima never has many emotions, and perhaps this is Yamaguchi's way of processing emotions? Honestly, there's a lot we've yet to learn about our boys, so there's no surprise if their reactions do not match what you think they should, officer." Coach Ukai jumped to defend his boys, but Kiyo stood up. "Huh? Shimizu, please sit down." 

"No, I'd like to hear what she has to say." The female officer said, before her co-worker could say anything at all, for a change. "Would you like to go anywhere? Perhaps the office or the storage room?" Kiyoko shook her head and remained standing there. 

"Um...I was supposed to come and see you this morning, sir, but I just couldn't- I had to make sure everyone was safe so I ran out of time and then I panicked at break so I went to get some air and then it was lessons and then it was- and now we're here but-I'm sorry." She repeated, not being able to say much else. Suga reached up to Kiyo's wrist but she shook him off, and took a deep breath. "Tssukishima, Yamaguchi, do you know any accounts called Kiyo360 and FrecklesYachi?" The entire team seemed to be holding their breaths, but Kiyoko knew that they weren't. She looked Tssukishima in the eyes, and she grounded herself. "Of course you do, everyone does. But let me ask you, why did the name of Kiyo360 change? Is it because the account got deleted?"

"I don't know what your talking about." He lied. "Your lying, Kiyoko."

"She isn't." Yachi stood up and behind Kiyo. "Hey, Yamaguchi, you messed up. Your plan wasn't so perfect. The most recent picture on here, the one with me with my arms up. Let me see my contact in your phone."

"Alright fine! We made the accounts but you can't prove we attacked Michimiya can you?" Yamaguchi yelled, his voice slightly raising. 

"Where do I live?" Yachi questioned. 

"What?"

"Where do I live?" She repeated. "Its a simple question, my address, what is it?" 

"It's Apartment 20, Sunrise Block!" Yamaguchi yelled, and Suga pulled Yachi down and stood in front of her. Stunned silence cam over the group again, and then a crackly recording of some bleeps and Michi in the hospital. 

"Whoever did this to me mentioned something about going into the office- And they were tall as well, so they have your data, they have your data and are tall, so please be careful for me, ok?" 

"Oh Crap."
