False confidence

Chapter 6

A/N  I wrote another chapter. I don't think it's that good, sorry. And it isn't that eventful either, sorry once again. I hope it isn't too bad though. Please do enjoy.

After having his heart broken, Hinata looked back at his phone and dialled the assigned guard's number.

The guard informed hinata of the important details, such as: the people in which she met with, where she has been over the last two days, how her emotions have changed over time, and the amount of fun she was having. He had a keen eye and was observant, much like Hinata. He was able to pick and exploit a person's feelings easily.

After chatting for about half an hour, Hinata headed back inside the building to see what the others were doing. As he headed to his room, he bumped into a tall figure with platinum white hair.

"oh- sorry sorry!"

Hinata hadn't looked up to realize who he had bumped into yet and just bowed, apologizing for his mistake. Once he looked up a shine could be seen in his eyes.

The tall date tech player bowed, greeting the younger player.

"ah! Aone-san!"

He jumped with a smile on his face as the receiver blushed a barely visible pink.

"Aone is fine"

The giant spoke softly, trying not to seem too eager.

"Hai! Hai!"

Hinata said with a salute.

"hey, Aone. Cant I practise with you? I know it's getting late and all bu-"

Before Hinata could finish his sentence he looked up to see Aone's eyes flaring up. He looked as though he was waiting for the question.

"Yes."

The blocker nodded as he responded to the shorty. Hinata gave him a wide and cheery grin before looking around.

"now all we need is a..."

Hinata left his sentence hanging as he searched more intently. Something finally caught his eye and he finished the sentence.

"SETTER!"

He yelled, pointing at Akaashi. The latter turned around at the sudden yell and saw the orange decoy running up to the ravenette.

"oh, hello Hinata, Aone-san."

Aone simply bowed as he walked towards the player.

"Akaashi-san, can you toss for me? Please? I don't wanna deal with Kageyama's mean comments."

Hinata had puppy eyes on as he pleaded. No one could resist those eyes.

"of course, but no later than 10, okay?"

"hai!"

Hinata texted Daichi, informing the captain that he would be back at 11. He knew himself too well to think that even for a second that they would actually end practise at 10.

The three headed over to the gym, silence being filled by Hinata as the two followers weren't much talkers. When arriving to the gym, Hinata ran to grab the balls while the boys began to stretch. After some stretching, the three began their practise.

The first few tries weren't as successful as Akaashi hoped, but they soon got the gist of it. That didn't mean Aone didn't block them though. After about 25 spikes, only 5 of them had made it past Aone. But, the time used to get those 5 shots through had been much to Hinata's advantage. There were many little things in Aone's block that could be exploited, but Hinata didn't want to risk breaking such a good player. So he only exposed one of the many problems.

In all honesty, Aone was kinda slow. Although he was an excellent blocker, he didn't speed on his side. this wasn't exactly a bad thing, but it was good to have the extra traits. Instead of having speed, Aone was blessed with height and strength. Whereas Hinata had speed and control. This is something that hinata could easily use to his advantage.

Hinata began to run more, jump more. He ran faster and jumped higher. This astonished both the blocker and the setter as they could hardly keep up. Akaashi came to think about how Kageyama could keep up with someone as uncontrollable as Hinata.

'so this is what it's like to work with a member of the freak duo' Akaashi thought. A smirk grew as he began to get into the game.

Whenever hinata was sure that the spike would be blocked, either he did a faint (though it was rarely possible) or the rebound trick that Bokuto taught him. The success rate of this trick was usually 50/50, but Hinata continued to do this trick whenever necessary. Every time he did it, the ball flew in the air with perfect range. He never missed the chance.

'Hinata-kun has gotten stronger again. Cute...' Aone couldn't help but grin a bit at the improvements of the first year.

The trio were so into their game that they hadn't realized how late it had gotten until Bokuto and Koganegawa bursts into the gym. Futakuchi followed behind the loud dimwits.

"hey hey hey! HINATA!"

"HINATA!"

"BOKUTO-SEMPAI! KOGA-SAN!"

The three yelled as they ran and high fived each other in the air. They jumped around and talked their gibberish as the other three admired the view of Hinata. After watching the energy-induced trio, Akaashi went to check the time. It was a quarter till 11. Akaashi sighed at the amount of time they used up compared to his expectations.

"hey kids! It's bedtime!"

Akaashi yelled in a jokish manner. The three energetic substances grumbled at the mention of bed. They weren't tired and wanted to join in on the role play.

"but mommmm! I'm not tired!" Hinata started off. The two childish characters next to him giggled. It was quite hard to believe that these people were in their late teens and closing in on their 20's.

Futakuchi joined in on the fun. "you heard your mother, pal. We don't want to make her made now do we. Nothing good happens when the beast comes out." He whispered the last part, but everyone could here it.

Aone watched the whole ordeal, enjoying the drama going on in front of him.

"noooo! Beast mommy is scary! Especially her eyebrows!" Bokuto complained.

"umm, What's wrong with my eyebrow?!" Akaashi yelled, breaking out of character and becoming the beast that haunts all dreams.

The three children screamed and scrambled around the gym. They picked up balls as they ran away from the angry Akaashi. Futakuchi joined in on the chasing, deciding that it would be best to help his "wife".

Hinata ended up getting back to the room later than expected. It was half past 11 and he had run out of gas. He was happy that it was finally night and he could take his mask off once again. He listened carefully outside his room's door, waiting to see if there were any signals that they were awake. He suddenly heard a loud bang out of nowhere; he quickly put opens the door and walked in.
