🏐 TWENTY FOUR 🏐

"That was a gorgeous set Keiji!"

"No it wasn't."

"But it was so nice!"

"Yeah I agree! Your sets are always awesome 'Kaashi!"

"Thank you Bokuto-san."

"YOU AGREE WITH HIM BUT NOT ME?!"

"I never said I agreed, Udai."

"Can we get on with the game please?" Kanai asked, so many angry ticks on his head as he tried to control himself.

"Yes please. And please stop commenting on everything I do, Udai, it's getting repulsive."

"THEN SMILE MORE!"

"...You're impossible."

"Wooow, dad's crushing~" Jiga's face was contorted in pain the next second as Yusei punched him. "Ow."

"Go serve boke." Yusei growled, and from the look he was given, Jiga wasted no time in scampering to do as told while Yusei rotated to the front. "Hey, Keiji."

"What?"

"If you smile once I won't bug you for the rest of the day. But it has to be a real smile."

"Deal." Akaashi let his face light up and he gave her a smile. The next point went Fukurodani because of how starstruck Yusei was.

"DAMMIT YUSEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Kanai yelled, the rage all over his face as he was probably trying not to strangle her.

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT OKAY!!" She yelled back, "DON'T INTERFERE IN MY GAME!"

"YOU-" Kanai paused, realizing what she had just said. Then with a sigh, he sat back down.

"Dang, he even shuts the coach up.." Sorey mumbled quietly to Mikleo, who nodded in agreement. The next point showed that Yusei was still very much in control.

Nishioka glanced around at all of his hitters, but Yusei caught his eye. She was flaring with energy and what looked to be rage, so deciding not to be the one she chewed out next, he sent the toss to her.

Doing her approach and jumping, Yusei spiked the ball right through the block, making the two blocking wince at the force. Landing, her lips curled upwards in a sneer. "Was that even a block? I'm disappointed."

"Daamn, that's rude." Ozaki snickered, standing next to her. Fukurodani lost that match at 21-25, which meant they had to do the flying receives around the court.

"I'm still pissed Nekoma beat us." Jiga growled, and Yusei punched him.

"Stop it."

"WHY AREN'T YOU MORE UPSET ABOUT THIS HUH?!"

"I SAID STOP IT!"

"OW!" the force of the last punch made him face plant as Yusei walked away. Mikleo looked at Sorey.

"I didn't see anything."

"Me neither."

Jiga slept on Yusei's shoulder as she messed around on her phone. They were on the bus home which would take at least 5 and a half hours if it was nonstop.

Before they had left, Bokuto had a serious conversation with her about how he had dibs on Akaashi and he didn't want her interfering. After that encounter, she made out with Akaashi in an abandoned hallway. On their way back to the group, she had said no homo.

Akaashi was pissed.

At the moment he was texting her, more like raging at her over text, about that exact thing.

Keiji
What the hell is your problem?!

Yusei
You're hot, you expect me not to get a taste?

Keiji
That's not what I'm talking about! You said no homo, which means it was all just a game to you! My feelings were all just a game!

Yusei
Whoa whoa hold up, your feelings?

Keiji
You think I'd go along with that sort of thing just for fun?

Yusei
I would, but I suppose you probably wouldn't
Oh, now it makes sense

Keiji
Yeah. I'm really disappointed Udai.

Yusei
I haven't heard that in a hot minute, but don't worry I'm always disappointed in myself

Keiji
Please don't play with my feelings, or anyone else's, again.

Yusei
...I guesssssss, since you asked so nicely, and I do feel kinda bad...

Keiji
That's good, maybe you aren't as much of a demon as you let on 😊
So, see you at the next training camp?

Yusei
Oh you know it 👌🏻

Sighing, Yusei tucked her phone away and glanced down at Jiga, who was breathing softly. With a slight smile on her face, she leaned her head on his and let her eyes close.

They arrived back at Anaguma High at around 9pm, so they were all allowed to go home without having a meeting. Her cult walked Yusei home because it was so late even after she insisted it wasn't necessary.

However, when she got home, that's when everything went downhill.

Her parents were waiting for her in the living room. Tea was on the coffee table, steaming hot. "Yusei sweetie, come sit down."

"I'm sensing an ominous aura here so I'mma have to decline-"

"Yusei." Her father's stern voice broke in, making her sigh. I was hoping to get away while I still could, looks like that's no longer an option. Slowly turning back to them, Yusei joined them and sat down.

"We need to discuss something, and I'm sure you aren't going to like it." Her mother told her, so Yusei braced herself. "Your father and I have both gotten better job offers from back in Miyagi-"

"So we're moving?" Yusei finished off, and from their reaction, it seemed her assessment had been correct. Pinching the bridge of her nose and sighing, the female dropped her hands. "When?"

"You're going to be able to finish the trimester, don't worry. And since it's so sudden, we're going to allow you to choose which school you'd like to attend." Kana told her daughter with a sad smile, "We still think Karasuno is a good option but you probably don't-"

"You're right, I don't." Yusei agreed, standing up. "Thanks for the heads up, though. I'll get started calling the schools I want." She took a second to bow before jogging to her room.

Closing her door, she slid down the wood and buried her head in her legs, her arms wrapping around them. After so many years, she was losing it all again. The first time had been hard on her, but this would be even harder.

She wasn't a little kid anymore, and there was no way to stay in constant contact with her new volleyball people--she still refused to call them friends--so she'd have to say goodbye to everybody.

And she wouldn't be able to attend the training camp like she'd told Akaashi. The thought made her squeeze her eyes shut as they began to fill with water.

Yusei decided to worry about calling the school she wanted tomorrow because that night, all she wanted to do was break down where no one would see her.
