"Hinata. You go in now." Coach Ukai said. Shoyo simply nodded, he and Yamaguchi switched places and now Yamaguchi is on the line up.

"Hey hey heyy!! I've been waiting for you Hinata!" Bokuto shouted energetically.

Shoyo greeted Bokuto with a nod as he positioned himself.

Daichi spikes the ball to Fukurodani's side. Their libero receieved it perfectly and directed it to Akaahi's side.

Akaashi raised his arm and tossed it towards Konoha.

Konoha spiked tbe ball and it was recieved by Shoyo.

"Kageyama-kun"

"En..!"

Kageyama tossed it to Tanaka and he spiked it nice and hard!

They continued to play as the other teams started to arrive.

Aoba Johsai

Inarizaki

Date Tech

Kamomedai

And Itachiyama

"Welcome people!~ hope you all have a fun stay here!~" Kuroo greeted as the Captain of Nekoma's Volleyball Team.

"Thanks for the welcome Nekoma's Captain" Futakuchi smirked.

He then came across Atsumu and Osamu....He widened his eyes then glared at them...The twins were also surprised and glared back!

Bear V.S. Foxes....

Who will win?!

Well, Futakuchi is slightly older than the twins, and he has more experience because he was the first spirit that Shoyo took under his wing!

And he's proud of that! And because of that, he uses it to provoke the twins and make them jealous..

"Well if it isn't Futakuchi-nii." Atsumu smirked as he mockingly said the "-nii"

"Well well well~ long time no see Atsu-chan." Futakuchi raised his chin up to appear superior.

Atsumu got ticked off by the nickname...

"Master!" Osamu suddenly exclaimed, then he covers his mouth when sudden realization hit him...

Futakuchi and Atsumu tried to find the famillair orangette. And they did! He was playing Volleyball with Fukurodani High.

"WAH!" Atsumu exclaimed.

Atsumu pointed at Shoyo "Wah! Wah! W-Wah!!"

"I know....I'm also surprised too.." Osamu muttered out..

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone including the one's who were playing turned their attention to that someone who is from Aoba Johsai...

Shoyo who was about to spike the ball froze and the ball hit him ontop of his head...

He turned to look at....Kyoutani...

Kyoutani was staring fiercely at Shoyo like he's gonna rip him apart!

Shoyo then looks at his two disciples and his other student, and then at someone that he's familiar with...

'Everyone is gathering up one by one without Lev even trying to contact them..' Shoyo thought...

Kyoutani continues to glare at Shoyo...

Karasuno was looking at them back and forth....Just what is happening?! Who are they??? Do they know Shoyo??? Whats their relationship??? Are they another spirit like him???

"Ma— Sh-Shoyo!" Atsumu smiled brightly as he began to run towards his precious Master. When Atsumu was about to jump towards him, Futakuchi quickly kicks him away.

"ARGH!—"

"Shoyo!~" Futakuchi tightly hugs Shoyo.

Shoyo who was engulfed by a bear hug made a muffled noise. But he hugs Futakuchi back.

"Its nice to see you again."

"Shoyo." Osamu called out.

Shoyo's head pops out from Futakuchi's arms. He looks at Osamu then slightly smiles. He beckons the slightly shy Osamu to come to him.

Osamu did so.

Shoyo patted his head. "Long time no see"

"En.....I missed ye a lot.."

Atsumu got up from the floor while rubbing his back....He silently cursed at Futakuchi for kicking him! He'll get his revenge later!

"Shoyo!!~~~ I missed ya soooo much!~" Atsumu quickly yanks Shoyo away from Futakuchi's arms.

Futakuchi got ticked.

Shoyo slightly chuckled at his childish disciple. "En."

Fukurodani and Karasuno whose game was interrupted looked at them in confusion...

"Tsumu, let go of Shoyo. Its m'turn to hug 'im." Osamu said.

Atsumu just sticked his tongue out. Osamu got ticked and kicked him away.

"OW—!"

Osamu finally got to hug Shoyo. He burried his head on Shoyo's neck while he ruffles Osamu's hair.

Atsumu looked at Osamu with dissatisfaction..!

Osamu stuck his tongue out to him.

"Oh my! If it isn't chibi-chan! Long time no see chibi-chan!~" Oikawa waved his hand while grinning happily.

Shoyo looks at Oikawa, he remembers that his team lost to his team last time. He doesn't have any grudges or anything, Shoyo isn't that type of person. Its just that it makes him sad when he remembers the time his team was depressed.

"Hello again." Shoyo bowed his head as his floofy hair swayed a little.

Shoyo then looks at Kunimi. He was the person he saved from an evil spirit back then. He wonders how he encountered the evil spirit...But Shoyo just couldn't ask for answers.

He then looks at Sakusa weirdly....

Sakusa just sent Shoyo a small and stern glare. He then continues walking away.

"........"

"I know...I'm also surprised that he's here..." Atsumu purposely whispered to his master's ear. Because he knows that he's sensitive there.

Shoyo covers his ear and looked at Atsumu accusingly...Atsumu just grinned!

"Sorry to interrupt but. We still have a game we're playin" Coach Ukai stated with crossed arms.

Shoyo's hair poofed a little, he quickly but calmly pats it down...Right. He forgot that he was still in the middle of a game.

Shoyo excused himself from his student and disciples as he went back to the court.

Why is Shoyo and Atsumu so weirded out when they first saw Sakusa? Well....To explain it.

Sakusa. Is actually a spirit as well. A well known spirit for his hate in humans. Back in their days. Sakusa had a human friend. But that human friend betrayed him.

And then when he made another human friend. That human ALSO betrayed him! Thats why he started hating humans! "They are just selfish and dirty creatures. They don't deserve to live!" Sakusa from back then childishly exclaimed to Shoyo.

Sakusa was THIS close, thumbs and index finger almost touching, to kill all the humans back in their days. But good thing Shoyo was able to reason him like. "There are actually kind humans. You are just unlucky to meet the wrong one."

"I do not believe you. Humans are selfish and dirty. Period. They don't take a bath and they are stinky."

Well thats because it was at the time where the humans don't have any clean bathrooms! They use the rivers or public baths as, baths!

Thats why, Shoyo and Atsumu were very weirded out. Because why the heck is Sakusa even doing in the human realm when he hates humans?!

They will never know..

——————————————————

"Everyone. I gathered you all here today because I have something very important to tell you all." Shoyo stated seriously as he looks at his comrades.

Right now they were inside the now empty gym in the middle of the night where the humans has already fallen asleep.

"What is it sensei?" Futakuchi calmly asks with crossed arms.

"Master sounds so serious.." Atsumu laughed nervously..

"Thats 'cause he will tell us somethin' very important. Didn'tcha listen?" Osamu snorted.

Atsumu huffed! "I did!"

"Yeh right."

"Be quite or else I'm gonna cut you're head and hang it on a pole." Sakusa said in annoyance.

"U-Uwahh...Scary.." Lev sweatdrops...

"Calm down now boss! Don't scare the kids!" Komori said while patting his cousin and boss's back.

"Do not touch me." Sakusa glared.

"Geez..." Komori pouted..

Kyoutani huffed in annoyance. He shouldn't have accepted coming here...

Shoyo let out a cold aura that can make a human freeze to death and a spirit petrified in fear.

"Has everyone settled down?"

Everyone: "................."

"Good. Then. I shall tell you all now..."

Shoyo told them about the crack between the spirit and human realm. And if the crack gets wider and wider. All the spirits will come pouring out in the human realm like spilled water and vice versa!

It will cause chaos and death.

Spirits being captured. And humans being killed. This will go on and on until there is nothing left.

And Shoyo is afraid that this will happen....He has important people in both realms..

He encouraged his comrades to tell their other comrades about this and help him fix the crack and find whats causing it!

The guys nodded in understanding. They will help Shoyo of course! They also don't want it to happen. Not even Sakusa.

Though he hates humans. He doesn't want the world to end. Because if the world ends. His important spirit will be gone as well..

So. They decided that everynight. They will go all parts in japan to purify the evil spirits and lead the lost spirits to where they belong while finding clues and not make the spirits and humans make contact with each other like Kunimi.

And so. Shoyo dismissed them.

When they were going in their seperate ways. Someone called Shoyo.

"Hinata-san."

Shoyo turns around and looks at Sakusa. Shoyo tilted his head.

"Is something the matter Sakusa-kun?"

Sakusa and Shoyo were having a staring contest. They didn't mind the awkward air around them.

"....So, I saw a book about something."

Sakusa started. Back in their days. Sakusa always goes to Shoyo for answers or favors. It was always a habit of him to tell Shoyo everything what has happened to him.

Shoyo raised an eyebrow "Yes? What kind of book was it?"

"Love."

—Silence

—Crickets

"Sakusa-kun. You are too young for that kind of book." Shoyo misunderstood it for a porn book. How did Shoyo know about that?? Its because he accidentally read one a very long time ago..

Sakusa turned red a bit. He frowned and exclaimed! "Its not that type of book! Also. I am already nine hundred years old."

"Then what type of book is it?"

"I already told you its love! L. O. V. E. Ugh.....Nevermind. Goodbye."

Sakusa walks away in annoyance. Shoyo just stood still in confusion...

'Sakusa-kun is doing it again..'

(Author-san: Shoyo you dense cutie....)

(Narrator-kun rolls his eyes)

(Assistant-san was once again eating popcorn)
