I wake up cursing this hell training,'Why do they have to make you get up so early.' I grumbled. I walk to the bathroom and freshen up with the rest of the guys. I spot Iwaizumi and strike some conversation with him. He tells me Oikawa wouldn't wake up and is probably gonna have to do extra laps. I told him that Noya might end up joining him because he's famous for not waking up on time.
First on today's list is conditioning, so basically we are running until we puke. As we walk to exit the building, I can hear Oikawa screaming for people to get out of his way while he rushes to the bathroom. 'Oh, he might just make it on time.' I chuckle to myself. Then I think of Noya and sprout a devilish smile, 'Looks like Noya wants me to start waking him up for practice again.'
'!!!,' Nishinoya wakes up with cold sweat running down his back.
When me and Noya were little, he used to be a bit scared of me because I would make us get up at 6 every weekday and run. Of course, Noya was quite resistant to his new change but every morning If he wasn't up in time I'd get his mom to let me in before filling a bucket of ice water and throwing it on him while he slept. After that he'd have to run extra laps to top it off. Even to this day if He sees me with a bucket it sends shivers down his spine. I had to promise him that we'd start doing our own training before we started getting closer to me again.
As we got to the entrance of the facility, everyone was lined up. The trainer told us that we were gonna run around the city and he'd follow us in his car. Some audible groans were heard but it wasn't too long until two figures burst out of the gym doors. Everyone looked at them and I just shook my head. Of course, this was Nishinoya and Oikawa. The trainer had a vein bulge on his forehead as he walked towards them. He chewed them out for 15 minutes and settled on making them run an extra 30 minutes of our 1 hour break after our run.
As we were running along, Noya approached me with a pouting expression. "Why didn't you wake me up this morning." I looked surprised for a second before having a demonic flint flash through my eyes," Oy, Oy, do I look like you keeper, also I thought you made me promise you I wouldn't wake you up again. I will gladly resume my post if that's what your asking." I smiled a not-so-kind smile.
Sweat dripped down his forehead before he mumbled in a barely audible voice," No, that's okay sorry for bothering you, Lord Kai." He said as he made a bowing motion that made me laugh at how awkward it looked while running.
We make our way through the town and finally finish with everyone gasping for breath. As I watched the idiot pair still running, I kept an eye out for Karasuno, and low and behold, there they were, Karasuno High. When they stepped off the bus me, Ushijima, Tendou, Taigen, and Oikawa(who was still running) all glanced over. I saw a one of the most respected men in Haikyu, Ikkei Ukai. He looked like he did in the anime, and he had a big grin on his face. As they were getting off he wiped off his grin and yelled, "Hurry up we're playing in 3 hours."
"Hai!" They all yelled as the pace of unloading visibly sped up.
"Nice to meet the famous coach Ukai." All the coaches gathered and greeted.
"Nice to meet you too, I just hope these delinquents will be able to perform well." Coach Ukai replied.
"Oy gramps, who you calling delinquent." A young teen yelled. As I heard that I froze. I turned and saw a young Keishin Ukai yelling at his coach. How is this possible, shouldn't he be graduated by now. I glanced over at the rest of the team and my eyes bulged once more as I see an all to familiar #10 jersey. A young Tenma Udai, appeared taking his bags off the bus. I immediately feel myself falling into fanboy mode, as I watch the Little Giant make his way to the gym. Somehow he picked up on my gaze and turned quickly to meet my eyes. We lock eyes and we both narrow them. He was raidiating an intense aura.
'Tough' we both thought at the same time.
He smiled soon after and waved in my direction, I reciprocated and he continued on his way. Noticing our interaction Iwaizumi glanced at the Little Giant.
"Yo Kai, you know that middle schooler, and why is he wearing a Karasuno jersey is he someone's little brother?" He asked.
I shook my head, "Iwaizumi you would best be on your guard against him. That guy is a monster." I said before following the rest of the middle schoolers in to the gym.
Iwaizumi looked surprised at my answer because I hardly give another player so much credit. 'Must be a really good Libero.' He thought as he walked in.
We got set up in the gym and changed into our practice jerseys. Karasuno was watching from the stands.
"You guys better watch what's happening down there during these practice matches. If you lose, I'll show you why people think I'm a demon in practice." Coach Ukai grinned with evil intentions.
All of Karasuno shivered at the thought and immediately focused on the teams.
Udai sat down beside the coach and while looking at me asked, "Coach who is that guy on Chidoriyama?"
"That guy is interesting, he's one of the best setters in middle school right now, Scarlet-Eyed Kai, does he interest you shrimpy?" Coach Ukai asked.
"I don't know, I guess we'll find out." Udai replied.
(A/N: I know that keishin Ukai had graduated earlier, but I needed to have a second player on Karasuno to be able to write a better story IMO. Just think of it as an AU, both keishin and The little giant are 3rd years in this timeline.)
