The Last Game

The ball slammed into the ground, nailing the floor with an echoing crack from the immense power that whiplashed it past the net.

It took half a second for the crowd to shout with frenzied excitement, the opposing team's look of futile frustration fuelling their cheers as things were thrown into the air.

"YEEEESSSS!" Sweat flew off his face as his shoes squeaked on the court's polished floor.

"Nice kill Hinata!" Daichi shouted, a grin pulling the corners of his mouth up sheepishly.

A round of, 'Nice kills,' erupted from the team, their confidence bursting to the max.

[ 12 - 0 ]

This was their twelfth point in the match. Their opponents were far from easy, all of them ranging in tall heights that Hinata could only dream of, each player was a challenge- Good at what they did.

But Karasuno was better.

They hadn't let them score even a single point.

"N-" Kageyama's face scrunched up, "Nice kill."

"Eh!?" Hinata whirled on him, excitement bristling the ends of his hair up, "You can at least try to sound happy about it!?" He pouted before the whistle snapped their attention back to the game.

The team's serve was met with an instant receive bouncing back as a chance ball, Daichi sending it flying in the air as Kageyama's eyes seemed to glow as he set it.

"Hinata!"

Hinata grinned as he jumped, a triple block cowering over him as the ball reached his way.

It looked like the perfect setup for his unnatural attack, the air around him crackling with the desire to spike.

Even the crowd was in agreement as they held their breaths with anticipation.

But the ball landed with a thud on the other side as his shoes lightly tapped the ground.

A look of disbelieving anger glared in each of their opponent's gaze as Hinata's smile grew from their frustration.

"A feint!?" Yachi screamed from the stands, a blush rising to her face as she practically sparkled with amazement.

"Don't worry there's more where that came from!" Hinata held out a peace sign to the team, a happy aura radiating from his pose as their eyes seemed to grow red with fury.

"Lame."

"Hey!" Hinata turned on Tsukishima as Yamaguchi snickered besides him.

"Don't worry Shouyou I thought you were super cool!" Nishinoya gave a thumbs up- ignoring the eyebrow raise from Tsukki.

Hinata was hugging Noya like he was a teddy-bear, practically sparkling with how cool their libero looked backing him up like that.

"All right keep it up! Get another one!" Suga shouted from the sidelines as the whistle blew and their bodies relaxed.

"Aww come on a timeout!?"

"It doesn't matter how many timeouts they call, don't let them take the flow," Coach Ukai stated with a matter-of-fact tone that lit all of them up with excitement as they shouted in response.

"But what do you think they're talking about?" Hinata questioned to himself as he took a drink from his water bottle.

"Their defence is good, attack is good, I don't know what strategy they could pull now?" Tanaka shrugged with a grin, a fiery light in his eyes.
