Chapter 1

I grumbled to myself as I followed Uncle Keishin up to the high school. I thought I was going to be able to relax on my vacation, that was the plan anyway. My parents and I had moved to the states for my dad's job when I had finished middle school. I had worked hard in my studies and eventually was able to graduate early in the states, so as a reward my parents agreed to let me fly back to Japan and stay with my grandparents and uncle until I went to college.

"Come on kid, look at it this way, you can dust off your skills before gramps gets a hold of you." Uncle Keishin chuckled.

I scowled at him while shoving my hands into the pocket of my hoodie. I'll admit my skills had gotten pretty rusty since I had gone to the states, but that didn't mean I hadn't played the whole time I was there. The school I had gone to wasn't really sport centered, my parents made sure I went to a highly academic school, but I did find a group of people to play with when I had time.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize my skills needed dusting. You were the one to ask me to help out, remember?" I said and then sighed. "I was really looking forward to just hanging out with Jiji, and Baba all summer."

"You know they would just have you work the store for them, right?" he said trying to crush my dreams.

"No way, they have you to do that." I shot back and he grunted.

"Didn't my ungrateful sister ever teach you how not to disrespect your elders?" he shouted wrapping his arm around my shoulders and ruffling my hair.

"Ow! Quit it!" I tried pushing him away but he was having too much fun with this.

"Uh, Ukai?" someone called out to us, and my uncle quickly let go of me.

"Hey Specs!" he greeted the man, who wore a pair of glasses over his admittedly adorable face. "You coming to practice today?" he asked.

"Sorry I have a teacher's meeting, and I'm never sure how long these things run." he said. Oh so he's a teacher. He smiled at me politely and I quickly bowed remembering my manners.

"Pleasure to meet you, I'm (Y/n)." I said.

"Oh yeah, this is my niece, the one I told you about." Uncle Keishin explained.

"Oh, well it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Takeda Ittetsu. I'm the advisor over the Karasuno Volley ball club, thank you for helping us out."

"I didn't really have much of a choice," I mumbled shocking him.

"She takes some getting used to. Well, we better get going, later Sensei." Uncle Keishin waved grabbing onto my shoulder to make me follow. I waved a goodbye at the teacher who waved back nervously.

"Is he really the advisor?" I asked skeptically.

"Yep, I know he doesn't look like much but he really does a lot for the team." he replied with all seriousness. I glanced up at him taking in the expression over his face. He must think highly of Takeda if he looked like that.

"Here we are." he said pushing the door open to the gym.

I heard the sound of balls ricocheting off the wooden gym floors, and the familiar smacks of coming in contact with the ball. My eyes wondered around taking in the scene. A few guys were stretching off to the side, while others were warming up. There were a couple of them already on the court and going through drills.

I followed my uncle over to the bench while watching a certain dark haired boy serve up a ball. It flew over the net quickly towards a ginger haired kid who got right under it. He was quick, but when I saw him reach out to receive it, his form was off and it was no surprise when the ball bounced off of him and flew outside the court.
