Chapter 11: Nee-san!

I just want to warn you that i'll be using more curse words from now on, but they're translated in japanese. Please tell me if you are uncomfortable with swear words. I hope it won't bother you too much (●'◡'●) Now, on to the story!

Finally, we can play against Karasuno again. We played against them yesterday but Shoyo and Kageyama wasn't able to participate since they were late.

"Be sure to keep an eye on their number 10, but make sure that you don't put all your attention on him. Lev, I especially need you to keep a closer eye on him since you're the one who can keep up with him the most."

"Sure thing Nekomata-sensei! I did tell Hinata that I would be the first to stop their freak quick!"

"You better do that as soon as possible. No pressure though, just do your best out there!" I beamed, raising my fist in the air.

"Of course (F/n)-san!"

"Now go out there and win this!"

"Yes ma'am!" I smiled as I watch their retreating figures. The whistle blew, indicating the start of the match. Fukunaga-kun began the match with a serve, which was received by Sawamura-senpai. The game continued on in Karasuno's favor for a little while, as another quick attack made its way.

"Don't mind! You almost had it Lev!" I shout towards him. He's certainly keeping his word about stopping Shoyo. The score was 2-1 with Karasuno in the lead. Shoyo flew again in the air with his eyes closed, blindly spiking the ball into Lev's palms.

"Alriiiiight!"

"Yus!" I silently say to myself. I was surprised when Lev suddenly jumped towards Shoyo with high-speed, and successfully blocked his spike. 'He really took it seriously when I said to do it as soon as possible..' I looked back at the court to see Lev doing this weird gesture towards Shoyo.

"Lev, they're probably going to do more normal attacks from now, so please switch to read blocking."

"What's that again?" I sweatdrop at the question. We only discussed this a few hours earlier and he already forgot.

"Its where you jump after where the ball is being tossed." Lev nods and heads back to the front. Another normal serve went to Karasuno's side of the court and was received nicely by Tanaka-san, passing it to Kageyama.

"Kuso, one touch!" Lev shouted. Lev was doing a great job catching up with Karasuno's movements, as well as listening to what the others say. I guess he's really pumped since he's facing Shoyo.

We counterattacked after Yaku-san received the ball, causing Karasuno to call for a time out. I picked up the jugs and distributed them. I looked towards Lev, who was eyeing Karasuno sternly again.

I pat his back reassuringly. "You're doing a great job, don't worry about it." He looks down at me before giving me back his jug. "Just continue what you're doing and stay focused, okay?" He nods, a pink hue dusting his cheeks. The whistle blew once again, signaling for the match to resume.

The ball bounced back and forth, as each team managed to keep the ball in play. Kageyama managed to dig out the ball before it hit the ground, sending it to Sawamura-senpai who bump set the ball.

"Asahi! Spike it down!"

"..Shoyo?" I blurt out as the said boy jumped towards the same ball, smiling. Azumane-senpai and Shoyo collided with each other, letting the ball fall to the ground.

"W-W-wa--"

"I'm sorry! I was only focusing on the ball, i'm so sorry! I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!" I sigh in relief, letting my shoulders relax. It was a good thing that he didn't get hurt, collisions like that can seriously cause a lot of damage.
