[CHAPTER THREE] - DIFFERENT

"Hey, where's Hinata?" Nishinoya asked the rest of the team. Said team turned to look at the libero. They all blinked and dropped their hands down from the positions they were in.

"I was going to ask, but I thought he might've gone home early or been sick," Sugawara responded.

Just then, the doors to the gym swung open. The other team members looked towards the door, expecting to see Hinata and possibly Kageyama with him, but only Kageyama walked in. He looked a little off. He was smiling, which kinda terrified the others, and he was looking around frantically.

"Where is Hinata?" He asked quickly, his charcoal eyes scanning the court.

"Uhm... Kageyama? Are you alright?" Suga asked the setter.

"Where. Is. Hinata?" Kageyama sneered at the other male. "If you don't tell me now, I'll make you."

Sugawara looked back at the others who all had wide eyes and shocked expressions. "He..he didn't show up. We thought he might've been with you," Nishinoya spoke up.

Clenching his hands into fists, Kageyama smiled eerily. "Well...that's just...great," he started, "if you'll excuse me...I have to go."

"Wait, Kageyama! What's up with you?" Yamaguchi asked as well.

Kageyama glanced over his shoulder, a strange aura surrounding him. "I'm perfectly fine." He said calmly before turning back on his heel and storming back out the doors.

"What….what is wrong with him? Why's he so worried about Hinata?" Nishinoya questioned the team.

The team shook their heads and some shrugged. They all looked a little worried, but they ignored it for the time being. Maybe Kageyama was just mad at Hinata like always.

Hinata ran all the way back to his house. His mom and Natsu weren't there at the time; they were visiting their grandmother and Hinata wasn't able to come.

He swung the door open and ran up to his room. He threw his bag down, kicked his shoes off, and flopped onto his bed. He buried his head into his pillow and sniffled a bit. He wiped some tears away and hugged a plush close to himself. It was the Raven plush Kageyama had given him last Christmas. He stared at it before throwing it across the room at the door. Right when the plush hit the floor, Hinata heard the front door open. He froze and stared at his door. His mom and Natsu weren't supposed to be back until the next night, seeing as it was the weekend. He didn't invite anyone over, and he was sure he had locked the door when he came in. Becoming scared, he slowly and quietly got off his bed and towards his closet. He didn't want to take any chances of staying put. He opened the closet door as quietly as he could and stepped inside and closed the doors. He moved to the far back corner and sat down, pulling his knees to his chest. He heard the sound of someone walking around downstairs and covered his mouth to conceal his gasps. Suddenly, the footsteps started moving towards the stairs. Hinata's small frame started shaking. The footsteps walked up and down the hallway, moving into every other room on the top floor before stopping right outside Hinata's door.

Crap...he didn't lock his door

The person on the other side of the door twisted the doorknob and the door swung open slowly. The stranger walked around the room, looked under the bed and desk, before finally stopping in front of the closet door. Hinata could see the shadow of the person on the other side and he began to shake violently.

The doors opened.

"Oh, Hinata..., my Hinata…I found you~"
