The hallways were empty as students were either in clubs or left school. Her footsteps echoe through the hallways as she walked towards the gym. Her hair was in a bun which she always kept it in. As she always kept her hair in a bun no one knew how long her hair was nor did anyone know about her red streaks.

Y/N stopped for a moment and watched the shining sun, using her hand as a shield she closed her eyes. It had been five years since then. Five years since she came here. Five years since she left him. She put her hand down kept walking down the path towards the gym.

What am I even hoping for?

She opened the door to the gym and walked over to Kiyoko. The guys hadn't noticed her yet but she didn't interrupt them and kept talking with Kiyoko.

"Hey Dazai-San. I'm glad you came here again." She smiled at the girl.

"Ah it's fine Kiyoko-senpai. I'll be hanging around the volleyball team for awhile so be ready to see me often." She grinned causing Kiyoko to smile.

"Oh and please call me Y/N. I don't care for formalities and stuff."

"Okay then, Y/N. I look forward to see you with us. Everyone likes your prescence." She patted the younger teen on her head.

"Yes!"

"Oya! If it isn't Y/N-chan!" Tanaka grinned as he shouted causing me to frown.

"Don't add 'chan' to it!"

"Don't annoy her Tanaka. I'm happy that you came here again Y/N-san." Suga smiled at the girl who just shrugged and returned his smile.

"Hey Y/N. You said that you played before right?" Daichi said as Y/N nodded slowly.

"Yeah but I'm not really good at it though." She scratched her nape nervously.

"Yeah that's fine. Say do you want to play a match with us?" He grinned.

"What? Me?" She said shocked at his question.

"Yeah! You should play!" The Second Year due shouted excitedly.

"But I...." She hesitated but looking at their excited and smiling faces she was conflicted. The things people told her before rang through her mind for a split second.

You can't even play.

Someone like you should just stop playing.

Why can't you just play properly!?

Dont get in our way. You only have to sit back and watch. You are only liability if it weren't for your serves.

A hand rested on her shoulder causing her eyes to dart to her left. Kiyoko nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry. We are just practicing it's fine. Give it a shot." She smiled.

"Okay." She nodded.

"But can you play in the uniform?" Asahi said softly.

"Uh I have some gym wear. Perhaps I could change somewhere?" Y/N questioned Kiyoko who gestured her to follow the older teen.

"Yeah c'mon with me." With that the two made their way to the club room.

||♤||

"Are you sure you can come back alone?" Shimizu asked worriedly.

"Yeah senpai,  thank you for your concern." I smiled.

"Okay then." I closed the door and the smile fell from my face. Locking it and pulling the curtains of the windows I stand in the slightly dark room. Pulling the top off I put aside and reach for the black T-shirt when my eyes fall to the scars on my wrists. I put on the armbands and cover the marks. I change into a black t-shirt and shorts with thin tights underneath with my knee pads.

"So I'm playing even though I said I wouldn't."

'You never had a choice in the start.'

"But I thou-"

'Dont think so much. Remember. Remember how useless you are.' The image of me taunts from the mirror.

"Yes. But I thought I told you. This time I'm writing my story." I left the room with a blank face. I put on a smile and enter the gym. The court was being set up as Kiyoko waved me over when our eyes met. I fix the armbands once more and head over to them with a deep breathe.

"Hey Y/N. Ready for the match?"

"Yeah. I'll just stretch a bit." I walk over to a corner and start stretching.

||♤||

The boys were stretching on the other side when Nishinoya's face busrsted into a deep shade of red. Sugawara immediately panicked and went over to the male. In question he looked in the direction in which Nishinoya was looking only for his face to blush slightly as well. Daichi frowned at the two and gasped when Tanaka's face also burst in flames.

"O-Oi! What's wrong?" He panicked as Asahi worriedly looked at the trio. Ennoshita, Kinoshita and Narita gave each other confused glance before they realised why the trio were blushing. Narita, Kinoshita had a pink tint while Ennoshita tried to calm down the others with Daichi.

Y/N was practicing splits and currently she was leaning forward more specifically her back was to the boys, and she was unaware of what was happening as she had plugged her headphones on. By the time she finished stretching, the boys somehow calmed themselves down and finished setting up the court as well.

The teams were started to be divided into groups of three. On one side was Daichi, Tanaka and Nishinoya. On another side was Y/N, Sugawara and Asahi. They got into their sides of the court while Ennoshita, Narita and Kinoshita decided to watch from the sidelines and keep score with Kiyoko.

"Okay, then. It's been awhile since we played a three on three so let's have a good match." Daichi told everyone as Tanaka got ready for his serve. Kiyoko blew the whistle and the ball went up. Tanaka hit it with force and Asahi received it before Sugawara tossed to him again and he spiked it. Nishinoya got the ball up and Daichi tossed to Tanaka who spiked at the very corner.

"Take that!" Tanak shouted in excited knowing they would get a point that was until a flash of black appeared and the ball went up again. Everyone was shocked for awhile before Sugawara was about to toss to Asahi. He tossed to Asahi who spiked again and this time in the corner causing Daichi to miss it as he was too far away.

Fweet!

"One point to Suga-San's team." Kiyoko said as Narita and Ennoshita changed the numbers on the scoreboard.

"Wow Y/N-San! You were so fast!" Nishinoya said excitedly as everyone thought the same.

"But how did you get there so fast? Weren't you just beside me then how did you get so far back?" Sugawara wondered and asked. Everyone looked at the girl curiously as she shrugged.

"Reflexes."

"That's a bit...." Daichi, Sugawara and Asahi sweatdropped as Tanaka finished Asahi's sentence.

"......off."

"Okay back to the game."

On the court Y/N tapped Sugawara on the shoulder causing him to look at her.

"Yeah?"

"If you don't mind....." she muttered something after that he couldn't understand.

"What?" Sugawara said confused.

Y/N looked down and touched her nape as she said her words again.

"If you don't mind can you toss to me once? I'm not forcing you, it's okay if you don't–"

"Okay!"

"What?" Her eyes looked up at him.

"I'll toss to you." He smiled with his eyes closed. Y/N gulped in surprise before no one wanted to set to her. So this was a shock to her.

'I will never set to someone as pathetic as you!'

"Thank you Suga-San!" She beamed.

The silver haired male had a tint of pink on his cheeks at her smile. He watched her walk off and got to his position.

"Asahi nice serve!" Sugawar shouted as Asahi served. Nishinoya received it and Daichi tossed to Tanaka who spiked it. Y/N received it and Sugawar tossed it towards Y/N. Everyone's eyes widened seeing how high she jumped  she almost jumped higher then the net. But what caught everyone's attention was how her eyes flashed dangerously when she spiked the ball. Daichi and Tanak tried to block but it hit through their hands and hit the ground before Nishinoya could save it. Nishinoya stared at the place the ball had it. A dark black spot.

Everyone had the same thought in their minds as they looked at green eyed female with the bun. Kiyoko and the others on the sidelines were awestruck at the force of her spike.

'How is this being bad at volleyball?!'

Y/N looked at her hand and everyone noticed the flash of her green eyes for a split second before she shook her head. It seemed as if she was thinking something looking at her palm but no one knew what. The rest of the match was going well. However there were times when Y/N's spikes would earn them points.

Fweeet!

The first set was over with 20–25, Sugawara's team in the lead. Everyone drank water while Y/N walked to the corner and slightly tugged her wristband to see her wrist. It was red. She sighed.

I need to be careful while spiking, Sugawara has sharp eyes.

"Hey what are you doing all alone?" Tanaka shouted causing Y/N to fix her wristbands quickly. She turned with a smiled and walked over to the others. Kiyoko handed her a water bottle which she accepted gladly.

"Your spikes were very powerful Y/N. The way you played didn't seem like you were bad at volleyball then why would you say that?" Kiyoko questioned the girl, making everyone pay attention to their conversation

"Well," she rubbed her nape, a action that Kiyoko, Nishinoya, Sugawara and Daichi noticed that she didn't when she was nervous or hesitant. Her eyes met Kiyoko's as she smiled softly.

"Before coming to Karasuno, I was very passionate about volleyball. I still am. Before I came here, ths schools were I often played, my teammates said that I wasn't good at volleyball. Even my coach didn't have anything good to day about me. I was often benched during the middle of matches even though I was apparently a 'regular'." Her eyes looked outside the window as her team's words echoed through her mind.

"They used to say and I quote, "I will never set to someone as pathetic as you." "You dont even deserve to play." "Your skills are a joke." "You should never be allowed to play matches." Well that was some of them. But I stopped playing on teams during middle school second last year. And that was also when my team was planning to go to Nationals. But I was often harassed by the volleyball members for leaving, I was confused. They said that I was pathetic but weren't they the annoying ones as they kept harassing me even though I quit." The look in her green eyes made them gulp.

"So I played one last time. For the Nationals. Well we made it pretty much into the preliminaries but we lost because of the poor receives from the back and during that second part of the match, I called for a spike."

||♤||

"Ayano san toss to me please." I said to our setter as she nodded with a glare.

"Don't miss."

The ball was up and the libero received the ball. Our liberal, Miyako dove and got the ball up. Ayano tossed the ball up and glanced at me. I got ready and jumped to hit the ball but it never came.

Fweeeet!

My eyes widened. Ichigo, spiked the ball and missed. Ayano glared at me.

"I told you didn't I? I will never set to anyone like you."

We were sitting in the changing room when Ayase, our captain glared at me.

"Why didn't you call for the spike Dazai?!" She glared. I was shocked and glanced at Ayano.

"But I did. Ayano didn't toss to me then what was I supposed to do?"

"Dazai-San it's not good to lie. You never called for the toss." Ayano said with a smirk. My eyes widened.

"Don't lie! Ayano-San you said you would toss to me and then you said that you would never set to anyone as pathetic as me."

"Stop making things up!" The girls gasped.

I held my cheek as the shock of her slapping me left me. I gritted my teeth and narrowed my eyes at her. I threw a punch towards her cheek causing her to stumble back. I grabbed my stuff and zipped up my jacket and hiked my bag on my shoulder before glaring at them.

"Goodluck with the other matches. Because I quit."

||♤||

"I quit the team and never went back since. I quit volleyball because I didn't want to go through something like that again." She looked at the others and smiled.

"Well there you have it. My sad, sappy story. Let's start the second set." With that she went off to the court. The others shared a glance and nodded.

It was almost the end of the second set when it was Daichi's serve. Asahi received it and sent it towards Sugawara who nodded at Asahi before calling out.

"Y/N-San, you said that no one willingly set to you before, right? Well then, here you go." He tossed to the surprised girl who jumped up.

"I will toss to you whenever you like and willingly, so Y/N-San. Go forth and don't give up on your dreams." He said as Y/N spiked the ball. Nishinoya and the others smirked and grinned.

"And you can count on us to have your back so continue playing!"

"You guys...." Her eyes widened as her feet hit the ground. Her eyes faced the others who had smiles or grins or smirks on their faces.

"So Y/N-San. Count on us. Play with us." Daichi reached out his hand as she nodded and smiled.

"I will! I will play alongside you guys!"

And that was how Dazai Y/N joined the volleyball club, but that can't be story can it? Because the real story will start now. The cogs are turning and the first gears have connected. Dazai Y/N let us see how you change the story.

The story of HAIKYUU!
