Chapter 10 - Barbecue
Wendy's POV:
Today was the last day and everyone was helping clean the rooms.
"Ohayo Yacchan, Hinata!" I said, sliding down the banister of the stairs.
"Wendy-chan ohayo!" They both replied as I landed.
"Yacchan, you look tired. Did you stay up late?" I asked her, concerned.
I tried practising the magic you taught me and now I can talk like this! I kinda scared Hinata when I woke up though. Yacchan's cheery voice came floating past my ear, surprising me.
"Nah, I'm fine." She said, grinning. I smiled then turned to Hinata.
"You were practising late again Hinata, right?" I asked, taking note of the dark bags under his eyes.
"Yeah, I just woke up though." He told me, stifling a yawn.
"How are things shaping up with the new quick?" Yacchan asked him, excited.
"I'm practising something super awesome right now, so look forward to it!" He said, excited about his new move. Tsukishima then walked past, smirking.
"'Super awesome'..." He taunted.
"What the heck, Tsukishima?!" Hinata yelled, already picking a fight early in the morning.
"Nothing."
"Oi someone wake Yamaguchi up!" Tanaka yelled from down the hall.
Yama-kun wake up. You will be late for practise and you won't get to practise your jump floaters before the matches start. I whispered under my breath, the wind taking the message away to his room. Suddenly, the door to where Yama-kun was sleeping banged open. Yama-kun stumbled out, still looking half-asleep.
"I'm up! I'm up! Am I late?!" He yelled, looking at where I was. I shook my head and grinned.
- timespike - i mean time skip -
The Nekoma and Fukurodani match just finished, with Fukurodani winning 25-22.
We had lost to Ubugawa 23-25. We had to do a lap of diving receives as penalty. I could hear Kuroo-san and Kenma-san talking about us having a strange dignity around us when we do our penalties. Me and Natsu-nii didn't have to do them since the coaches let us off after the torture the team gave them after betting on us. Instead, I dragged a basket full of volleyballs to one of the spare courts while the rest of Karasuno did their penalty. Natsu-nii joined me, but on the other side.
I took one of the volleyballs and spun it around in my hands.
"Ready, Natsu-nii?" I called, him nodding.
Tossing the ball up, I did a jump serve while aiming for the far corner of the court. Natsu-nii didn't bother to get it, because it was barrelling at him with full speed. It hit the corner and the ball exploded with a bang.
"Oops." I said, grabbing another volleyball. I was about to serve again when Bokuto-san started yelling.
"Wendy-san don't break all the volleyballs please! We still need them!" He yelled, coming over to where Natsu-nii was.
"You have 10 other crates! I'm not going to break all of them! Hopefully. Watch out!" I yelled back, serving the ball in another deadly jump serve. Bokuto-san tried to receive it but it bounced off his outstretched arms and onto the wall next to Kenma, who hid behind Kuroo-san in fright.
"Ouch..." I saw Bokuto rub his arms in pain so I ran over.
"I'm sorry Bokuto-san!" I said, touching the inflamed skin to heal it. The skin changed from a red tone to its normal He looked at my hands in wonder, then blushed.
"Eh? Bokuto-san, your face is red." I said, looking up at him.
"O-oh its nothing." He said, turning his face away.
"Okay then." I replied, walking back to my side of the net. "No-one try to receive these unless you are Natsu-nii!" I told the other teams, who were staring at us in wonder.
"Wendy-chan! Can I try receiving your serves?!" Nishinoya yelled from where he was getting a drink.
"When we get back to normal practice!" I yelled back, making him go and sulk in the corner.
"Okay! Let's continue with the matches!" Coach Nekomata yelled. The players nodded and went to their specific courts.
Me and Natsu-nii went back over to where Hinata, Nishinoya, Kageyama and Tanaka were getting a drink. Daichi told them that he overheard the coaches planning a barbecue for the players after the match as an attempt to boost their energy. They then started dancing along with Natsu-nii.
"Meaty meat, meat, meaty meat!" Tanaka said.
"Put 'em together, you get meat and meat!" Hinata continued.
"Meaty meat, meat!" Nishinoya chanted.
"Hooray for meat! Energy times a hundred!" They all cheered. "Yoohoo! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Meat is God! Meat is God!"
I looked over to where Fukurodani was, and by the looks on their faces, they were freaked out at the usual antics of the team.
"Hinata, do your best in the match." Yacchan held out a water bottle to Hinata, who was stretching next to her.
"Thanks!" He took the bottle, but just as he was about to drink it, Tsukishima came in and started teasing him.
"I'll be looking forward to that super awesome thing." He taunted.
"Just watch, you jerk!" Hinata yelled at his retreating back.
Yacchan said she really wanted to see the toss work, so Hinata went over to Kageyama and demanded the falling toss. The rest of the team stopped what they were doing and stared at the duo. Luckily they worked it out, with Kageyama throwing Hinata. The rest of us smiled as we lined up for the last match.
Narrator's POV (im going to do narrators POV for every match cuz ya know, im a lazy potato):
It was Wendy's turn to serve. She had to dial back the power since her serve could take off someone's arm. Tossing the ball up, Wendy spiked it towards the back corner of the court. Fukurodani received it but it was a bit off according to Yachi's yell. Yachi had improved her Data Scan so now she could work out the possible ways other teams can attack. Akaashi passed to Bokuto who spiked it on an angle to the blockers hands, creating a block-out. Asahi spiked it and someone received it but it was off. Fukurodani then did a quick, surprising Takeda-sensei.
Fukurodani served, Nishinoya received it. The ball went to Kageyama who set it to Tsukishima who spiked it. Fukurodani received it and Bokuto did a sharp cut shot past the triple block.
Hinata switched with Nishinoya, running onto the court. Hinata was thinking of using his special attack. Tsukishima served, Fukurodani hit it towards Nishinoya, who sent the ball to Kageyama. Hinata ran to the net and jumped, Kageyama setting the ball to him. Hinata looked like he was going to spike it, but instead he did a feint. The whistle blew, the ref pointing to Karasuno's side.
Tsukishima served and Fukurodani recieved it. Kageyama was going to do a normal quick set to Hinata but Hinata interrupted him.
"You aren't going to do it?"
The ball landed in Kageyama's hands and he set the new quick set, remembering his individual practise. The ball flew to Hinata, stopping in-front of his hand for a split second. He spiked it, making the ball land in the middle of the court. Fukurodani was in shock because of the speed. The whistle blew, signalling a point. Everyone was in shock until Kageyama and Hinata started cheering.
Fukurodani spiked the ball but Hinata managed to deflect it. Kageyama received it just before it went out but he couldn't set it. Nishinoya set it from the back row towards Asahi, who had jumped and spiked it.
Nishinoya had received the ball from Fukurodani once again and as it flew towards Kageyama, three spikers and one middle blocker started running. It was a first tempo synchronised attack. The Fukurodani blockers were confused as the Karasuno attackers all jumped up, looking like they were about to spike the ball. The ball flew towards Tanaka and he spiked it into the centre of the court. The managers and coaches looked on in shock as they all celebrated.
The game continued, Karasuno using new tricks that they learnt from the past week. Getting a break, Tanaka said something along the lines of them getting neck-to-neck with Fukurodani. The whistle blew, signalling the time out was over. Bokuto served but it hit the net. Tanaka then served but Bokuto received it, yelling something along the lines of "you jerk". Akaashi set to Bokuto but it was blocked by Karasuno, the ball flying back over to Fukurodani's side. They received it and Akaashi set it to Bokuto again. He hit it but it hit the tape and fell back onto Fukurodani's side of the court.
Bokuto went into his mopey mode but his team handled it pretty well. They continued scoring but Bokuto just kept to the corner, a gloomy aura around him. Akaashi set the ball in Bokuto's direction, the latter looking up at the ball in delight. He spiked it and the team cheered while Karasuno sighed in defeat.
Wendy's POV:
Coach was giving us a speech about how our new tactics would be useful in the nationals, but I zoned out.
"One lap of diving drills!" Daichi yelled, the team doing their last lap of diving drills for the camp.
Maybe I could call Lucy, Gray, Erza and Gajeel to come and help them practise. I thought, wondering about how long it would take to get to Karasuno High.
I looked over to where the third years were talking and I saw Suga whack Asahi in his side. Asahi groaned in pain and Daichi did an impression of Kageyama. Laughing, I saw Hinata shiver out of the corner of my eye.
- le timeskip :D -
We all were helping out with the barbecue when I head the coaches call us over. They gave a speech and the players were let loose.
I sprinted over to one side of the barbecue and ended up with a huge pile of food. I heard people yell in surprise when I snatched the meat from their plates. Looking over to where Natsu-nii was, I saw him doing the same. Finishing the meat, I looked over to see Kageyama choking on the meat and Akaashi-san handing a cup of water to him. Speed walking over to where he was, I lightly tapped his back, stopping him from choking. He turned around to see me but I was already gone, taking his food in the process.
One of the managers was offering onigiri so I snuck over to her, along with another manager. She offered food to Asahi and Ennoshita, while the other manager grabbed all the onigiri on the other plate. When they turned around to look at her, I stole the other four, stuffing them in my mouth and running. More yells came from where I just was when they discovered that all the onigiri was gone.
Walking over to get more food, I saw the captains forcing food on Tsukishima and Kenma. Laughing quietly, I saw Yacchan acting strange. I went over to her and tapped her shoulder, making her jump in fright.
"O-oh it's you Wendy-chan." She sighed in relief.
"Don't you want to get food?" I asked her, getting a rapid shaking of the head in exchange.
"N-no it's like a jungle. They are all so tall!" She cried, grabbing onto my arm.
"Come with me. I will get you some food, okay Yacchan?" Not waiting for a response, I dragged her over to where the Fukurodani people where and picked some food off the barbecue. Turning around, Yacchan was gone.
"Yacchan? Where did you - oh." I spotted her in the middle of a crowd, surrounded by Asahi and a few other taller people. Storming over to where they were I tapped one of them on the shoulder. He turned around, looking for the person.
"Down here. NOW GET OUT OF THE WAY!" I yelled, kicking them. They all turned to me and Yacchan sent a thank-you look towards me.
"Etto, Wendy-chan. She was -" Asahi tried to say but I didn't let him.
"I DON'T GIVE A CRAP! YOU ARE SCARING HER!" I yelled, whacking him. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Natsu-nii, Suga and Yama-kun coming towards me. Oops. I grabbed Yacchan's hand as we sprinted back to the manager area. Grabbing a ton of food along the way as well.
"Wah... that was scary. Thanks Wendy-chan!" Yacchan said, turning towards me.
"Mrph! It's fine!" I said, swallowing and shoving the plate of food that I grabbed into her hands.
"Thanks for the food!" Yacchan said, starting to eat. I went back to get more food when I heard Hinata.
"Suge! You are in the nation's top 5 aces Bokuto-san?!" Hinata yelled in excitement.
"Demo, Ushiwaka is from Miyagi and he is in the top 3." Kuroo-san interrupted Bokuto-san's laughter.
"Top 3?!" Hinata said, his attention turning to Kuroo.
"Also Wendy-san and Natsu-san said that they were the best and second best aces in Japan!" Hinata yelled. "Ah! Wendy-san!!!"
I looked over to where he was waving at me to go over to where he was. "Yes Hinata?"
"Teach me how to receive!" He asked me.
"Ask Natsu-nii for that. I specialise in attack while Natsu-nii specialises in defence. Didn't I tell you that?" I replied, taking a piece of meat from the barbecue.
"Hey don't say that! It knocks me down to a top 5 ace label!" Bokuto-san yelled at Kuroo-san.
"Top 3 means there is 2 others, right?" Lev-san asked from where he was on Kuroo-san's other side.
"Ushiwaka in Miyagi, Natsu and Wendy in Fiore." Kuroo-san said, ticking them off on his fingers. Hinata yelled in excitement while Tsukishima complained.
"Of course, one of them had to be in Miyagi." Tsukishima said, Natsu-nii overhearing and storming up to him.
"Hey don't forget you have the top 2 aces on your team! We will help you achieve your goal of getting to nationals!" Natsu-nii said, pointing his thumb at himself and me.
"Oi, Tsukki! You have been practicing with my spikes so you're not allowed to freak out about Ushiwaka!" Bokuto-san said, making weird gestures with his hands.
"And us!" Natsu-nii jumped in, lightly punching Tsukishima in the arm.
Kuroo-san then went back to teasing Hinata and Lev-san about them being bad at receiving. I went back to wandering around and getting more food. Soon it became sunset and we had to leave. Everyone crowded around us to say goodbye. Waving, we turned around and headed back to the waiting bus.
Tokyo summer training camp is now over.
