Breathless -- Kuroo Tetsurou

[SIX] Results

Naga sat on the floor of the gym, freshly changed into her practice-clothing. She stretched forwards, doing her warm-ups as to not strain her body during practice today. Any second now the boys would be bursting into the gym and telling her the results from testing.

She, of course, passed with flying colors. Thankfully getting a 64 on her chemistry test somehow. It would've been humiliating if she ended up having to stay back after everything she did to try and make the others successful.

The doors flung open as she was mid-stretch. Her legs pulled into a split while her arms pushed onto the floor in front of her. Grunting, she sat back up and crisscrossed her legs. "Hey!" She waved to the team walking in.

"Hinata and Kageyama didn't make it." Yamaguchi sweat dropped and rubbed the back of his neck as he walked over with the rest of the team slowly trickling in as well.

"Aweeee- really? What happened?" At this, Naga stood up and walked over to stand in front of the group.

"Hinata failed his English... Even though he actually got virtually everything correct. He just wrote it all one answer off. And Kageyama failed his Modern Literature because there was a lot of reading comprehension questions... He only focused on memorization and multiple choice when he studied."

"Ahh." She looked around the taller boy, scouting for two more heads. "Where's Tanaka and Noya? Did they not pass either?!" Her panicked expression made Yamaguchi chuckle.

"Of course they passed! Though barely..." He grimaced. "They're just finishing up getting ready in the club room."

Naga was breathing heavily. Hunched over and gasping for breath before throwing her hands over her head to open her lungs more. She didn't know if it necessarily even worked but she felt better when she stood like that anyway.

Practice was excruciating. She was filling in as Middle-Blocker for Hinata since the two weren't allowed to come to practice due to their failed subjects. Naga heard rumors of them possibly being able to make it to the camp with help from Tanaka's sister. She was rooting for those two. Especially because she didn't know if she'd have any stamina left if Hinata didn't come back soon.

She didn't know how Hinata was able to do it. Yes, being an ex-wing spiker took a lot of jumping and leg strength, but the running around and constantly jumping was a whole new ballgame for her. Naga needed to start going on runs again, her stamina was getting worse and worse the more she procrastinated on it. Hopefully they did daily runs at the training camp. Otherwise she'd need to try and find a running buddy or buddies.

Noya walked over to her from where he had been chugging his water, slapping her back and continued to walk. "You did good today, Kaminaga."

Naga inaudibly nodded and let her arms fall back to her sides.

Coach Ukai's voice sounded from the the sidelines. "Gather-round before you pack up and go. We need to talk about the camp."

The team gathered together, all sitting on the ground. Naga sat besides Daichi and Sugawara. "Listen up. We will be driving out to Fukurodani tomorrow morning at 5am. I want to get there before 9am so don't be late otherwise we will leave without you." Coach Ukai eyed Tanaka and Noya, knowing both of them would probably wake up late.

"Hai!" The team nodded.

"Daichi, and the other captains, will be in charge of you all for the majority of the camp. Us coaches will be out in meetings in other prefectures for most of the month."

"What kind of meetings?" Yachi asked, hand raised.

Takeda-sensei seemed to momentarily sweat-drop at this but pulled himself together. Ahhh, so Ukai-sensei means that they'll be out at the bars with Nekomata-sensei and the other coaches. Sounds about right. "We are discussing the future of Karasuno, Nekoma, and Fukurodani, mostly. Since we do so well training together and many of you are friends, we are wanting to find ways to have more training camps like this one throughout the year."

The blond girl nodded in understanding. Coach Ukai's attention moved over to Naga. "You will be practicing with the boys instead of staying with manager Kiyoko-san and manager Yachi-san. I expect you to keep everyone in line." Naga dipped her head respectfully and grinned over to Daichi on her side who simply scoffed.

"Like you will keep everyone in line. You're the one who gets everyone riled up." He whispered to her and she chuckled quietly in reply. Naga slung her arm around Sugawara's shoulder and leaned towards the boy.

"Don't worry about it Dad-chi. Suga-mama here will keep us out of trouble instead." A grin covered both Naga's and Suga's faces.

"As if! Suga's such an instigator for your actions!" Daichi whisper-sighed and rubbed a hand down his face. "You two are going to kill me, I swear."

Ukai continued on with his speech. Directing them on where they're all going to sleep and what the other managers will be doing with their time there. Soon enough, their mini-meeting was over and everyone got up to go home and pack up anything left that they hadn't yet.

"Hey! Noya! Asahi!" Naga yelled after the two boys who were heading down the street already. She needed to talk to them about tomorrow and what they're going to do for her 'get-up'. They stopped to let her catch up. "We need to talk about what the plan is for tomorrow." She reminded them.

"Oh yeah! Asahi and I were just talking about that. I brought a few clothes in my spare bag that I almost forgot to give you. A shirt of Hinata's is in there too." He slung the duffle off his shoulder and handed it to Naga. "There should be three sets of shorts and two shirts. As well as a few pairs of briefs." Noya winked at her which earned him an arm smack. "Alsooo, theres a set of thigh-high kneepads. Me and Asahi figured it would be best to cover up as much of you as possible that could be... y'know... f-feminine." He sputtered out the last words and went bright red. Asahi smacked the shorter boys head slightly.

"Ah that reminds me..." Asahi kneeled to the ground, fumbling in his own bag. After a short while, he pulled out a piece of fabric and gave it to Naga. "Here. You can use this as a chest wrap, and..." Digging in it once more, he grabbed out a thin headband. "You can use this too... So you can style your hair like mine." He smiled.

"How am I supposed to use this as a wrap?" She asked, looking at the elastic-y piece.

"Normally I use that when I'm deadlifting. It goes around my stomach to keep my back supported. But it'll work good enough around you as well to... y'know." he scratched his cheek and grinned. "Just don't wrap it too tight. You'll hurt yourself if you do."

"Alrighty!" She smiled and pulled them both into a hug. "Thanks guys!" The two hugged her back slightly and pulled away.

"This is going to be the funniest training camp in history." Nishinoya grinned. "Isn't that right, Kiroji Asahi?" The two giggled at that.

Before practice, they had updated the rest of the team and the managers as to what was going to go down. Everyone agreed that it would probably be best for her to pose as Asahi's 'otouto-san' (slightly younger-brother). Nishinoya was the one who came up with the fake name as well. Kiroji. Since Naga was going to formulate her looks so she appeared like Asahi anyway, it was the easiest to go with.

"Absolutely."
