Certainty

Ch. Summary: Kageyama and Hinata reappear in a not-so-great way. Hinata manages to return to a semi-normal state, while Kageyama struggles with it much more as everything processes for them. In the meantime our Captain and vice-captain are under stress that they take too far. It doesn't help that they've come across a familiar face that brings more fear than relief.

It wouldn't really matter if they were armed or not. The people they were up against had guns. Guns were enough to convince many of them that death was certain. Nothing was ever certain anymore. Hinata wished that for once there was something he could be certain of, even if that thing was the death of him, his friends, or both.

Of course, he didn't want himself or his friends to die, but the point still remained. Right now he was on his knees. Seriously, did they have to do this to him every time this happened? He couldn't see anything, but his hearing was well intact. He kind of wished it wasn't, though.

He could hear the sounds of others desperately trying to scream past the cloth gags that whey couldn't remove due to restrained hands. The male was even unluckier that the blindfold became loose and slipped to his neck.

It was too dark to see much, whether that was because of the time or because of the room he was in was unclear but he could see outlines. The outlines of other people trapped in this place. He wanted to cry. If he cried, then Kageyama would come and call him a moron but still hug him anyway and tell him it was okay.

He couldn't call for him because he couldn't even get words past the cloth in his mouth. Where even was he? The ground was cold and hard, like linoleum or something. Every time they pulled him out of the room he wasn't able to see his surroundings. Why did they have to pull him out of the room so often? He hated it more and more every time and got yelled at when he cried.

Suddenly there was light as a door opened beside him, causing him to blink to adjust to the brightness. He could hardly see past the person who walked in but could just barely make out shelves. This was…coach's store?

They must be In a back room or something. Even though he tried to keep his head down, the guy who had entered noticed him easily. There was a brief moment of silence in which both he, the guy, and everyone else in the room knew he was caught.

Shouyo shuts his eyes and ducks his head as a hand comes down to his face, pulling the gag off his mouth. His breathing is heavy, avoiding eye contact at all costs. No words are even spoken as this guy grabs him by his upper arm and drags him from the room.

"Kageyama!"

Hinata planted his feet against the floor as the raven-haired setter is being dragged in the other direction towards the door. The soldier guys pause to converse over the heads of the teens.

"They're both little pests, aren't they?"

"This one got his blindfold off, so I'm just taking him for proper treatment-" his grip tightens on the small boy's arm, causing him to whimper loudly. He could see the look in his teammate's dark blue eyes.

You'll be okay, dumbass

The words sounded in his head and he might've smiled if he could've managed to.
"I'm going to test the waters with this kid's group. Don't be too long."

The soldiers seem to come to a conclusion on something that he doesn't understand. Once again he's pulled into a room. A small one. It probably used to be the storage just based on the concrete surroundings. Now it was something much different, and being able to see it now wasn't helpful.

With the door shut and locked, his wrist restraints are undone, allowing him use of them, not like he wanted it right now. He hears a rough "you know the drill," when he grips the bottom of his dirty T-shirt. It still felt like he could see in the darkness of his shirt pulled over his eyes.
