The familiar whistle owned by the referee was heard. All of the athletes standing on court or sitting on the benches heard it; indicating that the game was over and announced Karasuno's loss and Nekoma's win in the second set of the practice match in their mini training camp. 

All the players shook hands with each other, the managers, the coaches and the referees as Tsuya just stood beside Inouka watching the other team closely for they had just lost to their long time rivals. Watching how the energetic little ginger was shut-down, he did put up a good fight though... Tsuya decided to go and talk to the boy and give him some encouragement to not lose hope. He reminded her of herself in junior high; she knew the feeling of being shut down.

"Hey Chibi-chan!" 

"Huh?" He replied in confusion as to why the manager of the other team was coming up to him. Tsuya placed her dominant hand on his shoulder, looking at him with a bright smile.

"You did great! Never give up okay? With that vertical, you can achieve a lot! " Without a reply, Hinata blew a fuse and started to mumble all the ways he will make everyone here know who he is and he'll become the ace and what not-

"Oi Hinata, you dumb-ass, we have to go do our punishment for losing. Daichi-san's calling- Stop acting like an idiot!" Kageyama  stormed his way to Hinata and Tsuya while yelling; he grabbed on to the collar of Hinata's shirt and pulled him back, stopping for a few seconds to look at Tsuya's face closely. The distress written all over his face made her let out a small laugh.

"Haha- long time no see... Tobio~" The look on Kageyama's face is priceless, Tsuya thought as he almost fell down in realization. 

"T-t-tsuya?" He mumbled as his grip on Hinata's shirt loosened and the look on his face became less troubled.

"It really is you... y-you- I... I knew you'd come back," he smiled genuinely and came closer to hug the manager. Hinata just stood behind in confusion.

"Yeah, I came back," she replied, engulfing him into a hug. "Did you really think I would break my promise?" She asked the worn out male as they let go, small tears forming in both their eyes. 

"But- I- You-!?" Kageyama stopped as he tried to speak, but the shock made him stumble across his words. Tsuya only told him to go because their captain had been calling them from behind the door.

"I'll see you afterwards, alright?" She almost ordered in a quiet voice as she turned on her heels and left, leaving the setter in disbelief.

"Ne- Kageyama... you know her?" Hinata asked trying to figure it all out.

"Yeah- lets just go, you dumb-ass"

        "Oi, Inouka, Kenma! Listen up," Tsuya called the setter and the first year to come to the sideline as a few of the Karasuno players still wanted to practice. This would be their last day before leaving back to Miyagi. 

"Both of you are letting strong balls get past you as you block. Their ace is strong- you cant change that but I'm sure you can endure yourself to block him out. People who have big built bodies can naturally block out strength with the right form of blocking; like Kuroo has dome most of the time, but if you tighten your core's muscles you can feel the strain all the way to your fingertips. Try tightening your core right when you jump, so that your fingers and arms have more stability in the block and you'll have less fatigue on your fingers." She explained as they both nodded and walked off. I'm getting a hang of this job... I like it! Tsuya watched Karasuno's ace closely as she could still feel Ren stare at her as Naoi-kun yelled at everyone; telling them to call the day off. 

Walking off the court to grab a few things, Tsuya still felt the first year's and now, also Kageyama's glare as she walked. Ren suddenly stopped in her tracks and squeaked.

"O-oi,  Tsu-Tsuya-senpai... don't try planning anything against Asahi-san or Kageyama... I-I wont l-let that happen!" She stood there looking determined yet slightly worried. 

"..."

"BUHAHHAHahahahahahah! You seriously think that's what I was saying- hahahaa~" Tsuya couldn't stop laughing as the adviser got all flustered and asked what Tsuya was actually saying and why she seemed so suspicious. "I'm afraid I can't tell you my tips and tricks now that we're rivals, though, you should remember why I told you to not close your eyes when you block right? You might want to remind Chibi-chan that~" Answering the question, the first year went back to the bench as she saw Kuroo, the captain of the other team, and a tall blonde who stood a little farther away, listening to them.

"I've already asked our couch about your request and he gladly allowed me to help Megane-kun with his blocking. The only exception is to see each other in the finals though~" 

"Alright, thank you!" Thanked the short haired captain, Daichi, as he walked off the court, drying himself off with a towel after the little scrimmage the older players had. Now the first years can finally get some action.

"Ah- Tsuya, could you come and help us with training? Kenma left because he said he's to lazy..." Kuroo asked, suddenly becoming serious as Tsuya obliged and followed the scheming captain, the dude named Tsukishima and Ren to the court. Kuroo had asked Ren to spike for them as well, making it a two on two with Kuroo coaching Blondie. Tsuya walked on the court taking off her Nekoma manager jacket. Underneath, she was wearing a black T-shirt with red striped Adidas tights and black volleyball shoes. 

"Looks like we're still the weird dynamic duo- even though we're not close to Tobio and Chibi-chan, right, Ren? Let's see if you still got that arm swing~" 

"Bring it, Tsuya-senpai!" Ren yelled with determination as Tsukishima chuckled from the other side of the net.

"You guys are supposed to work together, right? Or you really taking the whole 'rival thing' a little too seriously?" He asked with a smirk on his face, mainly looking at Ren as she glared back at him.

"Well, were not the ones getting counseling by the stupid bedhead behind you- or are you really just being prideful to admit that you need help?" Tsuya looked back at him with the same smirk.

'Their personalities clash too much... This wont have a good outcome' Kuroo and Ren thought in unison.  

Tsukishima clicked his tongue in annoyance as they started their little practice. The way the four were practicing had been exchanging Kuroo and Ren as spikers and second blockers while Tsukishima did consecutive blocking with Tsuya stuck in the middle as setter.

--

"Is that all you got, Tsukishima?" Tsuya asked, riling Tsukishima up. "You let a girl with a weird spiking form get past you? With more than enough blocking space to cover up? No wonder you need help with your blocking." Tsuya said to Tsukishima as Ren looked at her in disbelief. 

"Tch- bet you can't even block most of the half-assed spikers here... being so short, that is."

"You want me to try, Blondie? Why don't you spike for me? Clearly being half-assed, right?" Tsuya retorted with the same expression as before. They both switch spots as Tsukishima took a volleyball and asked Ren to set to him. Before he starts, he smirks looking at her again; knowing that this practice just went from 0-100 real quick.

"Why don't we make a deal? If you fail to block, I get to ask you to do a dare; completely destroying your immense pride and ego. And If I you succeed, vise-versa, deal?"

"Deal!" 

"Wait, guys, I don't think this is a good ide-" Ren tries to speak up, yet still gets ignored.

"Oi, don't get-" Kuroo tries next, but their showdown had already started. Throwing the ball to Ren, she set the ball, not wanting to get into the conflict, she tossed it to the most likely place. Both Tsukishima and Tsuya jump, however, because the height difference between the two, Tsuya jumped earlier with explosiveness and her hands reaching over the net. Tsukishima swings his arm... only to push the ball upwards above Tsuya's fingertips, doing a feint.

"You little bastard!" Tsuya yelled as she was about to drop kick his little trashy face. Nevertheless was held back by Ren. 

"Looks like I win, Shortie. You sure you want to do the dare now, or do you want to save your pride for later?"

"Say it right now, you ass-hole! You chickened out by doing a feint- And By the way I'm 169.8cm; above average for my age- get it right, you lanky French-Fry!" Tsuya retorted as he just stood there laughing at her statement and coming closer to her as Ren and Kuroo could do nothing but watch.

"Alright, fine. Swallow all your pride now and kiss me now-"

"Ehhhh??!" Ren and Kuroo yelled in sync and shut each other up. "Or successfully fight and pin down one of your coaches. Either the old respectable coach or the assistant, which one are you going to do?" Tsukishima offered, brushing off Ren's grief. Tsuya stood in shock by his request. Dammit- I didn't have any info on him... is he some spy from another agency? I don't even know who the hell he actually is, except that he's a for-sure diagnosed narcissistic. 

"You actually have problems, you know, I can already tell you're a pervert, but you've really got problems..."    

"Are you going to keep stalling or are you going to do one of them, hmm?" Tsukishima looked back at Tsuya with a smirk, clearly aggravating her. Moving from side to side thinking of all the possible outcomes and in Tsuya's mind, only came one clear option.

Glaring at the younger male as she suddenly approaching him in a swift stride, taking the side of his white practice shirt, and pulling him down to her eye level. As Tsuya looked at him with a few inches between their lips, she could clearly see the smug look of Tsukishima consuming the dignity she had left in front of her kohai and her now new neighbor/captain. Just great, isn't it? Thank you, jack-ass~. Leaning in, Tsuya roughly pressed her plush lips against the blonde's thin ones as she shut her eyes tightly. She slightly tilted her head and pulled away in disgust. All Tsukishima did was eye her with the same displeasing face.

"F*** you!" Tsuya yelled in his face as she planned on one thing that will bring her pride back; kneeing him in his crouch. Tsuya saw his troubled face as he slowly shook from the immense pain and fell to the ground emitting a painful groan. With an unpleasant 'ouch-' from Kuroo and Ren. Though, it seem's that Ren looked the most shocked about the kiss than all of them and then again, looking around as if she had nothing to do with it. "I think we're done for today,  right?" Tsuya asked Kuroo, who looked at Tsukishima with fear and whipping his head back at her with a reassuring nod.  "Alright then, let's go Ren. " Taking the freckled girls hand and walking outside, even with her protest to help the now injured first year. 

--

            Walking outside against the gym's outer walls as Tsuya and Ren talked about their teams and the people in them. How their lives had become more 'amusing' since they had came to their current high-schools. Though, Tsuya had to admit one thing; physics is still a pain. The two girls slowly started to walk to their destination until an awkward silence had displaced between them making the oldest speak up.

"I'm sorry, Ren-"

"Eh?"

"Ya' know... for kissing Tsukishima..."

"U-uh why would you say sorry... I mean... it was a dare?" Tsuya chuckled in response and walked forward, leaving the brown haired girl behind.

"I know you like him..."

"..." 

"Don't worry, I wont tell anyone. No one told me either- I figured it out. It was pretty obvious actually."

"Wait- what?!" Realizing what Tsuya just said, she stood in shock. "How did you- when did you- what?" 

"Calm down Ren, theres obvious reasons why- you have to just look closely for them. You had the same expression in seventh grade while you had a crush on that grade nine dude who had been a delinquent and you also had the the same expression looking at Tsukishima, I know you, Ren~"

To be honest- I am a spy...

"H-hey you yourself admit that the guy was cute-"

"He was in my grade, ya' know?" 

"But-"

"But you like Tsukishima and you cant admit it-mfgugwseurtt" Tsuya tried to speak while Ren was covering her mouth looking around for stalkers. She didn't want her secret to be held against her.

"Shhhh! Can you please not tell anyone about this? Yes, I admit I like him so will you shut up?" Ren whisper yelled at her senpai, as she let go her tight grip around Tsuya's mouth. 

"Alright, alright, my lips are sealed... only for blackmail that is-" Tsuya mumbled the last part as she earn a jab to her side.

"Ittai!! Hey, I'm your senpai ya' know!!" 

"Yeah, I know~" Ren hit her again as they walked closer to the building their teams were in.

"IIttaaiii!"
