"Sho-Chaaaaan~!" Sakura called. "My baby crow, where art thou~?" She pushed through the crowd of volleyball players, looking for a familiar jersey. She did happen to see one, but it wasn't black and orange, rather purple and white. And then she went sprawling. "Oh fu—" A rather large arm shot out, going around her shoulders and Sakura's nose wrinkled up at the sight of Wakatoshi Ujishima. "Ew." She muttered. After messing up her knee, and after leaving the infirmary, she saw the Ace outside before he simply said.

"This would not have happened if you came to Shiratorizawa." And she retorted by flipping him off.

"You should've come to Nekoma." She blurted, snickering at his dumfounded face before straightening herself up. "My, my, how the turntables, Ujishima~" She sang. His brows knit together.

"What are you doing here? It is obvious you're not here to play." He pointed out.

"Course not!" She seethed. "I, am here, to cheer my girlfriend's team on." He cocked his head to the side some.

"Girlfriend?" She sighed.

"Karasuno's Manager." His mouth tightened a fraction at the name.

"Karasuno—" Long, bandaged fingers curled around his shoulder and a head of red hair poked out from behind the Captain.

"Waka-Chan~The stretches are starting~" His—obvious—teammate remarked before his crimson gaze turned towards her. A grin stretched across his face at the sight. "Oho~? And who's this?" He asked.

"Nekoma's Manager. Sakura Kuroo." Sakura announced. "Pleasure to meet you, fellow chaotic child." The redhead snorted.

"Well met, other demon." She gave him a two fingered salute.

"Right back atcha." She rolled her head around a bit before speaking once more. "However, I have a team to cheer on, and you both are stopping me from that. I would wish you luck, but..." She smirked. "I'm betting on Karasuno~" She turned on her heel, waving halfheartedly over her shoulder. "Better Kuroo Twin, out~!"

Sakura really had bad luck with running into people. Currently, she was glaring up at another prestigious volleyball player, Tooru Oikawa.

"Aight ho." She started. "Help me up before I turn your knee, into mine." He looked unnerved by this before hauling her up. "Thanks." She muttered. "Now, what do I owe the pleasure of running into you?" He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his—very suspicious—trench coat.

"I'm here to watch Karasuno and Shiratorizawa's match." He answered after a moment, glancing around as if waiting for someone to notice him.

"Uh huh." She nodded. "And who're you betting on winning?" He scowled at this.

"If it was my choice, I wouldn't want either of them to win." He answered. "I won't be happy with the outcome either way." She huffed out an amused breath.

"So I suppose Ujishima already hit you with the, "you should've come to Shiratorizawa" schtick already, huh?" He looked surprised by this.

"Actually, yeah. How'd you know?" She held up her hair into a mock ponytail.

"Sakura Kuroo, Nekoma's manager and former Ace." He brightened.

"Ooh! I remember watching some of your matches. Iwa-Chan would never admit it, but he really looked up to you in his own...Iwa-Chan kinda way." He said, smiling. "I'm sorry about your loss back then. You were a pretty big volleyball player." He motioned towards his own knee. "I could end up the same if I mess up stretching." She nodded.

"Yeah, but! I got mine fixed, so in a year or so, I'm back in business, baby~!" He laughed softly, his earlier stormy mood dissipating as they talked. Entering the stadium, he turned towards her.

"This is my stop. I don't want to be seen by either of them." She rolled her eyes before coiling her hand around his elbow.

"Nuh-uh, buddy. I want you to cheer your Kouhai on, no negotiation." He let out a surprised squeal as she dragged him down the stairs towards Karasuno's area of the bleachers. "Ms. Yacchan~!" She called, gaining the blonde's attention. Her face morphed into surprise—especially at the sight of Oikawa—but smiled nonetheless. "Hey, bebes." She greeted, hugging her small girlfriend briefly.

"Hey, Kura." Yachi returned. "I'm really happy you're here, but...Oikawa?" She asked. Sakura snorted at this.

"This pretty bitch was sulking around and I'm making him cheer for Tobio." She said, smiling brightly. The third-year shifted uncomfortably. "And, I, am here to cheer for my favorite crows~" Oikawa grumbled angrily, thumping down into the chair closest to him and pulling his legs up to his chest. She smirked at this. "Oh, hello, fellow Bisexual." He smirked, giving her a two fingered salute.

"That's me~" Sakura threw her arm around Yachi's shoulders, pulling her against her.

"So, how's the team holding up?" She asked, motioning towards the murder stretching.

"Well..." Sakura followed her gaze, and started giggling.

"Oh. That good, huh?" Currently, Karasuno had the trio of nervous messes, Asahi, Hinata and Yamaguchi. Kageyama had a dumb smile on his face, eyes glittering with excitement.

"We're in center court!" He announced as Tanaka and Nishinoya cried over the many, many girls in the bleachers. The other two third years attempted to calm them down, and Tsukishima laughed at the entire ordeal. A sly grin stretched across the Kuroo Twin's face.

"Hey, Tsukki~!" Sakura had never seen two first-years whip around so quick in her life. Yamaguchi glared at the crowd, willing whoever said that to come face to face with him, and Tsukishima glaring directly at her. She waved, smiling. He scowled, but she grinned when she saw his hand wave a little at his sides. "Sho-Chaaaaan!" The nervous tangerine jumped, but his nervous expression morphed into excitement when he saw her.

"Kura!" He waved energetically, smiling. By then, the team had seen her at the bleachers, and seemed to brighten. The third years bowed their heads respectively, Tanaka and Nishinoya had started praying...But Kageyama wasn't looking at her, his eyes had narrowed at Oikawa, who slipped farther into his seat. Sakura smiled, yanking him up. Oikawa yelped, straightening his back. Pushing his pride aside, he pulled off his fake glasses, chocolate eyes narrowing.

"Don't let me down, Tobio."
