Breathless -- Kuroo Tetsurou

[SEVEN] Tokyo

Naga's alarm blared. Scaring her wide awake at 4am. She quickly slapped the loud thing and rolled out of bed, rubbing her eyes. She gave herself approximately 45 minutes to get ready. Because there was no way in hell she was waking up earlier than 4am with how exhausting yesterday's practice was.

She made her way to her dresser. Picking out a one-size-too-big black shirt and some blue basketball shorts that she normally just wore to bed. Digging around in the bag Noya and Asahi gave her last night, she grabbed the wrap, a pair of boxers, and the elastic headband.

It took her no more than 20 minutes to get ready. The slightly baggy clothing hid her figure incredibly well. And the wrap that Asahi gave her hid her chest. She loosely pulled back her hair into a saggy bun, then used the elastic to push any loose strands out of her face. If you didn't know her, you wouldn't be able to tell that she wasn't a sibling to Asahi. Her weight lifting and diets paid off, giving her a defined muscular look. She could totally pull this off. Not to mention she kinda liked this look. Yeah she didn't mind showing off her figure and all but having the chance to be in relaxed clothing, not caring if people are staring at her and all, was really nice.

Her mind jumped to the fact that most of her legs were still uncovered so she quickly moved away from her mirror and back to the bag. Slinging out the long knee pads that Noya gave her, she put them on.

The look was perfect. Complete. Everything fell into place the best it possibly could be. And with how moderately feminine and not-very-bulky some volleyball members looked, nobody should bat an eye.

Cheering to herself quickly, she rounded up her remaining two duffel bags full of needed things and headed downstairs.

Naga had been living with her brother and dad for the past few months since she was kicked out of Shiratorizawa. It's not that her mom and step-dad didn't want her at home or anything. Or even dare refused her to stay at their place. It's just that when she was at her old academy, she stayed in the dorms. It was just easier to move herself in with her brother, Kaminari Katzumi and their ever-elusive father, Kaminari Etsuko. Their mom lived all the way in the Aomori prefecture, so commuting here was totally out of the options she had.

So instead of living alone and getting a job; she just moved in with her old man and slightly obnoxious brother.

Katzumi was only a couple years older than her, four to be exact, which made him 22. He really didn't mind having the company of his sister in their home either as he was going to be moving out soon anyway with his fiancé.

Her dad was out most days, coming home at grotesque hours of the night due to his job as a head-chef. She didn't really see her father most days since whenever he got home, she was asleep. And whenever she woke up, he was asleep. It was a never ending cycle.

Throwing on a slightly oversized grey hoodie, baggy red sweatpants to cover her shorts, and some slides, she swiftly grabbed a few granola bars before heading out. She snacked on them while she headed down the sidewalk towards Karasuno. Her heart was skipping beats over the realization that she had to seriously go ahead with this stupid dare. Yes, she could just totally chicken and back out, refusing to do it.

But Naga wasn't what someone would call a quitter. At anything really.

Her fists clenched around her two duffels, growing white. She would complete this dare and make this the funniest training camp in Karasuno history.

Pushing air harshly from her nose, she grinned a wide, genuine smile.

"What're you so happy about?" Tsukishima muttered from her right. She hadn't noticed the boy walk up to her. Naga was too deep in her thoughts of winning.

"Just about the dare."

Naga heard Tsuki scoff, rolling his eyes. "You know, maybe if you put this much determination in your volleyball before, you wouldn't hav-.."

The tall boy was cut off by Naga grabbing a fist-full of his collar, snagging him downwards to her height. "Dare to finish that sentence?" She mocked.

Tsuki looked uncomfortable. He broke their eye contact and hastily shoved her hand away, tsk'ing and turning to leave. "I guess I'll just never understand the appeal." He muttered as he continued to walk.

"And that's fine by me. Less poopers at my parties." Naga snorted and followed after him. It wasn't long until they were climbing Karasuno's steps. She waved in greeting as her other teammates came into view.

"Naga!" Noya cheered, seeming to immediately wake up from his drooling, hunched over tired position on the ground. Dragging Tanaka over with him, he waved in greeting. "I'm sorry, I meant Kiroji." A maniacal laughter left Tanaka's lips at that.

Naga slapped Noya's shoulder playfully. "Don't say that yet! Coach Ukai might hear!"

Tanaka laughed along with them as they played it off, though they were all secretly terrified that coach did hear and would totally question them. Thankfully, Ukai-sensei was off to the side chatting with Kageyama and Hinata who had shown up panting up a storm. They looked like they had been chased by a herd of angry boars. Alas knowing the truth was just that they raced each other here again. Her head was cocked to the side slightly, wondering why the two boys were here so early since they weren't coming along but she just assumed it was to wish them off and practice some before their weekend make-up courses. Her suspicions were correct when she witnessed Ukai-sensei hand Kageyama a pair of keys to the gym. Though not before hastily scolding them for failing their tests again and telling them they should be thankful that he's even allowing them access to the gym.

Naga felt absolutely content. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked across her field of vision, taking in the joy that bubbled in her heart. She hasn't felt this happy in ages. Or at least such an overwhelming feeling of it. Her eyes scanned over Tanaka and Noya who were now chatting quickly to each other about seeing Kuroo-kun and Bokuto-kun again. Suga, Daichi, and Asahi who were just coming into view from around a corner. Kageyama and Hinata talking to coach. Kiyoko and Yachi chatting away quietly together and giggling. She smiled a radiant smile.

These people were her home and she was utterly glad that she could spent her last year in high-school with them all.
