*After the Bus Ride*

"Is that, could it be," Tanaka and Nishinoya asked loudly, "sky tree?!"

"Nope that's just a transmission tower," Nobuyuki said.

Kuroo just stood there laughing like a hyena. Everyone else got off the bus right after and the managers began to unpack the luggage.

"The scenery looks a lot more different than Miyagi." Asahi mentioned.

"Well we are in the suburbs now." Sugawara added.

In the background, Yamaguchi and Noishinoya were trying to make Tsukkishima walk faster. The captains were chatting about the training camp, until Kuroo said, " Come to think of it, aren't there missing people."

"Oh you mean Hinata san and Kageyama san," Daichi answered, "they have supplementary exams to do, they'll arrive later."

"Okay good, I was hoping for an exciting training camp, they really bring in the power from you team." Kuroo compliemented, "Excuse me for a bit."

Kuroo saw Y/N in the distance carrying three crates of supplies out of the bus, so he went over to help her out. On the way, he was think of ways to approach her and wondering if she heard his laugh, the one that he really hated.

"Hey Y/N chan, do you need any help." Kuroo asked the shorter girl.

"No it's alright, I'm strong enough to handle this much." Y/N said smiling as she started to walk away with the 3 crates.

Kuroo picked up two of the crates from her arms and said, "It's one thing to carry heavy things, and it's another thing to see. There are some stairs over there so I could help you until there if you'd like."

"Sure that's fine I guess, but don't you have captain stuff to do." Y/N asked.

"No, Nobuyuki san is taking care of that," Kuroo said, "we're just getting settled in right now, training won't start till later."

"Oh okay then, well um," Y/N started, "was that laugh from earlier your's."

"Well do you want the embarrassing truth or the beautiful lie Y/N chan." Kuroo said.

"I would like the embarrassing truth please." Y/N said smiling as she hiked up the stairs.

"Yes, that was my laugh," Kuroo said as he walked up the stairs as well, "it's a really bad laugh isn't it."

"Well no it wasn't, I found that laugh pretty cute." Y/N said blushing.

"Oh wait really?" Kuroo asked, "no one likes my laugh."

"Well I do think it's nice seeing someone so perfect have some flaws, even if it's an adorable side." Y/N said giggling a bit.

"Oh thanks Y/N chan," Kuroo blushed.

"How come you don't call me Chibi Chan anymore?" Y/N asked as she headed over to the kitchen.

"Well you left me last time I called you Chibi Chan," Kuroo said answering Y/N's question, "so I thought you hated it."

"No I didn't hate it, I just got a bit flustered that's all," Y/N said as heat slowly rose to her face, "you didn't do anything wrong, in fact I like that nick name as well."

"Oh okay that's good, I liked the nick name too Chibi Chan," Kuroo said blushing as well, "say do you have someone you like."

"Um well, oh look we finally arrived at the cafeteria," Y/N said looking really flustered, "bye bye see you later."

"Wait um Chibi Chan," Kuroo said as he dropped off the 2 other crates, "can I.."

"Sorry but no," Y/N said as her face turned pink. She tried to slowly push Kuroo out but since he was a lot taller it didn't work.

"Hey are you okay?" Kuroo asked kneeling down to her height, "you look sort of red."

"She's so adorable when she blushes, I want to see more." Kuroo thought as he touched her face.

"Yeah I'm okay, um you can leave now." Y/N said quickly wanting him to leave. Mainly because she didn't want him to see anymore of this embarrassing moment.

"Okay then I'll leave, but can we maybe talk sometime." Kuroo asked blushing heavily.

"Um yeah sure, but you should get to practice now," Y/N exclaimed, "you're gonna be late."

"I'll get to practice now then, bye for now." Kuroo said hugging Y/N tightly.

Kuroo walked away right after that action and thought, "Yes! I did what I set out to do."

He ran off to the gym and Y/N's face turned completely red. She turned around and saw two managers from Fukurodani. They watched the entire situation and listened to the conversation.

"Oh my gosh I am so sorry," Y/N said bowing down multiple time, "I'm sorry you had to see that."

"No that's alright, it was really nice to watch," Kaori said smiling, "are you guys in a relationship."

"No we aren't," Y/N said, with a smile on her face, "um do you guys need any help?"

"Yeah we do," Yukie said, "we were wondering where the other managers were until you came in."

"Okay then, what should I help with," Y/N said as she took off her jacket.

"Can you chop up the vegetables," Yukie said, "thanks, normally people wouldn't ask to help others out."

"Well it's my pleasure and my job too," Y/N commented, "so when did you guys get here."

"We got here earlier because our captain wanted to, around an hour earlier than you," Kaori answered happily, "are you the only manager from your school?"

"Nope, I have 2 other managers settling in right now," Y/N said smiling, "they'll come over to help in a bit."

The door opened and Kiyoko and Yachi walked in.

"Oh there they are," Y/N said, "meet Kiyoko san and Yachi chan."

"Hey Kiyoko san, Yachi chan." Yukie and Kaori said as the bowed down.

"Guys meet um, sorry I forgot to ask for your names." Y/N said.

"No that's alright, we forgot to introduce ourselves," Yukie said, "my name is Yukie san and her name is Kaori san."

"Hey Yukie san, Kaori san," Kiyoko and Yachi said bowing down.

"So what do you guys need help with?" Kiyoko asked.

"Can one on you guys cut the potatoes, and can another person cut the meat," Kaori said replying to Kiyoko's question.

"I can cut the meat Kiyoko san," Yachi volunteered quietly, "Kiyoko san, can you cut the potatoes."

"Oh yeah sure," Kiyoko said looking surprised.

"Nice job Yachi chan, you're finally taking initiative," Y/N congratulated.

"Oh um thanks Y/N chan," Yachi said as she pulled out a knife and a cutting board.

"Are both of you first years?" Yukie asked Y/N and Yachi.

"Oh no, Yachi chan is a first year," Y/N started, "but I'm actually a third year like Kiyoko san."

"Oh I'm sorry you guys looked like first years." Yukie apologized.

"Well it's not really a bad thing to look younger, but it's okay everyone says that." Y/N said as she smiled brightly, "are there going to be more managers arriving."

Kaori replied saying, "Yeah there's is, Mako san and Eri chan are coming later. Their schools are arriving pretty late."

"That's good, we can all make new friends." Yukie added, "are your managers quiet Y/N chan."

"Yeah they sort of are, but they open up after a while or when an interesting conversation opens up." Y/N commented, "but they are extremely nice if you get to know them well."

"Stop complimenting us Y/N chan." Kiyoko said as she does her job.

"Technically it's not complimenting if it's the truth," Y/N said back.

The five managers worked while talking about their jobs on the volleyball team. They all agreed that the teams would fall apart without them there. After they made lunch, they all headed to the gym to watch the teams play. Once again, Kuroo was staring at Y/N and Y/N was staring at him back. The gym doors opened and everyone saw Kageyama, Hinata, and Saeko.

"Saeko san!" Y/N yelled running to her, "you're here."

"Y/N chan, you're here too!" Saeko yelled running to Y/N as well. They hugged each other as Hinata scream, "Yes we're finally here!"

"Boke be quiet," Kageyama said hitting the back of the shorter male's head.

"Saeko san you're staying over right." Y/N asked.

"Yep, now let's go," Saeko started as she handed Y/N a can of milkis, "I'd like to meet your new coach, and here I got you somehing too."

"Yeah sure, I'll take you to him right now." Y/N said smiling, "and thanks for this."

"Here is our new coach, I'll leave you two to talk." Y/N said happily, "I'll see you later Saeko san."

"Bye, see you later Y/N chan." Saeko said.

The managers were either watching the games or filling up the water bottles. Ubugawa High and Shinzen High finally came and the all the managers were there. They all decided to sit down and talk to get to know each other for a bit during lunch. After a while, the games ended so everyone could go eat lunch and get a break to settle in and calm down.

The managers were sitting in the kitchen to eat after the served the food to the hungry volleyball players. The girls were introducing each other right now.

"Hello everyone, my name is Eri Miyanoshita, but you can call me Eri chan," Eri said, "I am a first year from Ubugawa."

"Hey everyone my name is Mako Otaki and I'm a third year at Shinzen." Mako said.

"Wow we really don't have any second years," Y/N said.

"Now that I think about it, we really don't," Kaori realized.

Kiyoko then added, "Everyone is either a first year or a third year."

"Do you guys all want to trade numbers?" Eri suggested.

"Yeah sure, let's do that." Everyone said. They all traded their phone around the table.

"You guys are lucky that you have good looking guys at your school, or your club anyways." Mako said.

"Well I mean they do look nice, but it's depending on their personality," Eri said.

"You aren't wrong Eri chan, but you could just admire from far away." Yachi added.

"Man I wish Bokuto san was at my school, that way I can admire him more," Mako said.

"No you do not want Bokuto san," Kaori exclaimed.

"You really don't, his mood swings are horrible," Yukie added, "it's like one moment his happy and a second later he's upset."

Everyone started to laugh really hard because of the brutally honest comment.

"Welp I have changed my mind," Mako said.

"Well I mean not all of them are like that, most of the guys from Karasuno are okay and the guys from Nekoma as well." Y/N commented, "I haven't talked to the guys at your school yet or from Eri chan's school, but they look sort of nice."

"You don't want to meet the guys a my school," Mako said, "they are so loud and aggressive."

"Same with my school, it's scary enough being in the gym." Eri added

"Well what about Nekoma, are there any nice guys like Y/N said," Kaori asked.

"Well their manager isn't here but they seem nice," Yachi said, "Y/N chan has talked to one of them before actually."

"Well how were they like Y/N chan," Kiyoko asked.

"Well I've talked to Kuroo san once, he was really nice." Y/N answered.

"Hmm I've always thought that he was a player of some sort," Mako said.

"It's probably just his appearance that gives it off," Kaori said.

"What's your relationship with Kuroo san Y/N san," Eri asked.

Y/N decided to answer with, "We're just friends, nothing else."

"Well friends that hug each other and could make each other blush really hard." Yukie added.

"Come to think of it, they do look really great together." Kaori added as well.

"Wait they hugged?!" Yachi said looking really excited.

"Wow they did, congrats Y/N chan," Mako said.

"Um yes," Y/N said blushing.

"Oh guys we should start on our jobs now and get started on dinner, it's already 2:00 pm." Kiyoko said.

"Oh yeah let's clean up guys." Kaori said agreeing with Kiyoko.

Everyone either washed the dishes or started with dinner. Eri and Yachi were working together on the dishes, and everyone else had different jobs when it came to dinner. Kaori and Kiyoko were preparing and cutting up the meat and vegetables. Mako, Yukie, and Y/N were cleaning up the tables and floor of the cafeteria.

"I don't understand how they could eat so messily, it's not that hard." Yukie muttered.

"Yeah I agree, but then again the are still our team mates," Y/N said.

"That's true, but they could at least clean up a bit," Mako added, "just to make our work easier."

"Do you guys know which room we're staying in." Y/N said

"Oh yeah, were staying in room 47, it's on floor 4." Yukie said, "why did you ask Y/N chan."

"I rushed over to the kitchen with the cooking supplies and the ingredients this morning, while my friends were putting my luggage in the room," Y/N explained, "I just don't know where the room is."

"Oh that makes sense," Yukie said, "hey Mako san, did you put your luggage in the manager room yet."

"Yeah I did, our room is pretty big," Mako said.

Everyone finished their jobs and went out to take a shower for dinner started. All the managers went into the place to take a shower together in the hot tub.

"Does anyone have shampoo, I forgot mine at home." Yachi asked.

"Yeah, you can share with me," Y/N said as she went in the tub with Kiyoko.

"Ah this feels nice especially after a long day." Kaori said.

"Yeah, but remember that we have 7 more days of this." Yukie added.

"That's even better since we could soak in here for an entire week." Eri said.

"You're right Eri chan." Yachi said smiling.

The girls were talking as they calmed down and showered. Y/N was wearing shorts with an over-sized pink Sailor Moon hoodie. Yachi was wearing sweats and Kiyoko was wearing shorts, both were wearing a t-shirt as well. Everyone wore their casual pajamas and headed out. After the shower, they called everyone in to eat dinner. They ate their food in the kitchen again and were talking about the guys and their jobs.

"Oh guys, are you up to a small party in our room later." Y/N asked, "I'll buy the snacks."

"Well as long we aren't too loud and we clean up, I'm okay with it." Kiyoko said.

"Yeah same with me, I don't want a mess," Kaori added, "but I'm down for some fun."

Yukie said, "I was looking forward to partying this week."

"Me too, I'd like to have some fun." Yachi agreed.

"Well it's official, we're partying tonight." Eri exclaimed.

"Kay then, I'll leave now since I'm done with my food." Y/N said as she got up and put her dishes in the sink, "I'll see you guys later in the room."

"Bye Y/N chan," all the third years said.

"Bye Y/N san." Yachi and Eri said.

Y/N walked out the cafeteria and soon she walked out the school. She put her earbuds in to listen to music as she headed into the city and used her phone as a GPS. Y/N decided to go to Mitsuwa, since it's her favorite place to shop for snacks. When she found out that there was one in Tokyo, she wanted to check it out and now she had the chance. Y/N went on a train for a short ride and walked the rest of the way to Mitsuwa. She headed in grabbed a shopping cart and took a look around.

"I wonder why he hugged me," Y/N thought as she bent down to get some chips, "there must be a reason or I'm just over reacting."

"Do I like him, or not," Y/N said in her head as went off to get some candy, "I mean he is my type and he is nice."

Y/N's face immediately turned pink as she bought some chocolate. She realized that she was falling for him slowly.

"I guess I'm done shopping now," Y/N whispered to herself as she walked over to the cashier area.

"Have a nice day, honey." the older woman said as she received money from Y/N.

"Thank you A san." Y/N said smiling at the older lady.

Y/N walked out the store putting on her ear buds and opened a pack of pocky. She took out a pocky stick and ate it slowly as it was sticking out of her mouth. Y/N walked back to the train and walked the rest of the way back to school. She arrived at school after a little while and headed in. She passed the gym and a volleyball came flying into her face. She fell down and saw someone asking if she was okay.

"Hey Chibi Chan are you okay," Kuroo asked looking worried, "sorry , I was practicing my blocks and the ball went out the door."

Y/N started to blush because he was so close to her face. "Oh yeah I'm okay Kuroo san, don't worry." Y/N said standing up quickly.

"Are you sure Chibi Chan, your forehead is bleeding." Kuroo said holding on to Y/N's wrist.

"Yeah I'm sure Kuroo san, can you maybe let go," Y/N said blushing a bit as she touched her slightly bloody forehead.

"Oh sorry, but are you sure I could take you to the infirmary." Kuroo said as he touched her cheeks with both of his hands.

Y/N's face got redder and she said, "Um no I'm okay, I'll be leaving now ... bye."

As Y/N ran away Bokuto exclaimed as he laughed, "Did you see that Akaashi san, Kuroo san got dumped hard."

"Grr no I didn't Bokuto san." Kuroo said looking pretty annoyed.

"What do you mean, she ran off when you touched her." Bokuto said holding the ball, "she just might not like you."

"Wait she doesn't," Kuroo said sadly, "I thought she did."

"Well you should check it out before making assumptions," Akaashi said quietly, "a girl like her could get taken away by another guy easily."

"For someone so smart, you really are bad at relationships." Bokuto commented.

"I agree with Bokuto san for once, you really do need help." Akaashi added, "you should talk to her tomorrow."

"What do you mean for once Akaashi san?" Bokuto said sadly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kuroo laughed loudly.

"Shut up you have a bad laugh Kuroo san!" Bokuto pointed out, "let's get back to practice."

Y/N finally arrived at her room and opened the door. "Hey everyone." Y/N exclaimed, "I got the snacks."

"Yay you're here!" Yachi said happily.

"Hey Y/N chan, come sit next to me," Kiyoko said as she patted the space next to her. Y/N sat down and pushed the snacks in the middle of the circle.

"So, what are we going to do," Y/N asked.

"We are going to play games and have some fun." Mako said happily.
