First Impressions (Haikyuu Fanfic)

Chapter Eleven - Don't test me

I don't understand this at all. Kai promised that he was going to watch Naoi. He was supposed to watch after his little brother! "Naoi!"' Kuroo yelled, keeping in pace with me. "Naoi - Chan!" I hollered, Daichi slightly ahead of us calling out his name too. We've been looking for the boy for a good hour now. . . And still nothing. Naoi hadn't given us the best description of his location and we are looking around based on instinct. He can't be too far. . . He can't be. . . "Naoooo!" Hinata's loud voice called from the street beside ours. Everyone had come to help, all with the exception of Tsukishima, who we haven't seen since the house. I hope he is okay as well. I'm starting to get really anxious about everything that is going on. I don't know how much more I can take. "Hina - Kun." I stopped running, turning to the voice who had called my name. I nearly started to cry and started running towards our ace, who had bent down for a moment. I nearly stumbled but caught myself before scooping Naoi off the ground and into my arms. "Onee - Chan!" The little boy cried, burying his head in the crook of my neck. "Naoi." I squeaked, hugging him tightly. Kuroo was practically right on my heels and hugged us both, his worried face turning into that of relief. "Thank you, thank you so much." Kuroo said to Asahi, pulling back and looking over his brother, making sure that he wasn't hurt. "It is no problem. I'm glad we found him." Asahi replied, scratching the back of his head. "Where was he?" Daichi asked, calling Sugawara over. "He was in a phone booth a few streets over. He was pretty shaken up. I didn't see any signs of your other brother though." Asahi informed us. "I'm just glad he's okay." I sighed, pulling back a little to get a look at Naoi's face. He has clear tracks down his cheeks, but I see no signs of any serious injuries or even minor for that fact. "Oi!" Kageyama called, running over with the rest of the group. "You found him!" Hinata exclaimed, smiling and waving to Naoi, who sheepishly hid his face in my shoulder. "Yeah, Asahi - Senpai found him. Thank goodness." I replied, looking to Tanaka and Nishinoya who are wearing very concerned faces. "What is it?" Daichi asked, sensing as well that something is wrong. "We know where Kai - San is." Tanaka replied, crossing his arms. "We'd shown his picture around like you guys asked and someone saw him go into Haie Loei." Nishinoya added, a frown showing on his face. My eyes widened at this information. Haie Loei is a hotel if I am correct. It is a few streets over and is quite popular with young people, according to Ukai anyways. He has told me some really weird stories about that place. . . "We're going to get that idiot and take him home. Then I am going to kill him." Kuroo said to me, pacing around like a lunatic. "We'll come with you." Daichi said. "There's no need for that." Kuroo said, stopping to look at our Captain. "Yeah you do. We're not only going for you, but to protect our teammate too." "Me?" I asked, shifting Naoi over to my hip. "Yeah, if a fight breaks out then who is going to protect you?" Kageyama said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "And someone has to watch over Naoi - San while you and Kuroo - San deal with his other brother." Sugawara added, smiling kindly at the young boy in my arms. "Minna. . . Arigatou." I thanked, bowing to them. "We'd do anything for you Hina - Kun." Hinata said, using my girl name for the first time. "You're an important teammate. We're like family." Yamaguchi agreed shyly. Kuroo let out a sigh then nodded, motioning them to come along. "Thanks." He said simply, his mind full of Kai right now. I really hope we don't come across anything bad. Please. For Kuroo's sake. . .

"I am his brother. You have to give me his room number." Kuroo said to the man at the desk, his patience reaching its limit. "I am sorry sir, I was asked specifically to let no one enter." The man replied, trying to also keep his calm. "This isn't some doctor's office where there is confidentiallity. Let us in." Daichi demanded, our coach also losing his temper. I am sitting in the lobby seating area with most of the team. Daichi, Kuroo and Tanaka are all at the desk. "This seems troublesome. We are going to have to try another approach." Nishinoya said, watching the argument. "Kai - Kun probably slipped the guy a few bills." I sighed, shaking my head. "I'll go try." Sugawara said, getting up. "You can do it Suga - Senpai!" Hinata cheered. "He'll be able to get us in." Asahi said, taking a sip of tea. An employee brought some over for us, she was a pretty nice lady, but I think she only did it because she thought we were staying here. "He is the persuasive one." Nishinoya agreed. "Onee - Chan, do you think Kai - Nii is in trouble?" Naoi asked me, tilting his head back to look at me. "I don't know. Kuroo - Kun doesn't seem to be very happy with him." I replied honestly. "He seems like a troubled kid if he'd leave his little brother in the middle of town." Kageyama said, brushing back his bangs. I went to reply but was stopped as Sugawara came over, a piece of paper in his hands. "I got it. Room 202, on the third floor." "Ah, thank you." I said, getting up and handing Naoi off to Asahi. "Have they already gone up?" "Yes. Kuroo - Kun said that he'd like you to make your way up there too." Sugawara replied, handing me the paper. "We'll go too." Kageyama said, Hinata standing with him. "We'll watch after Naoi - Chan." Nishinoya said, motioning to himself, Yamaguch, Asahi and Sugawara. "Thank you. I'll send Tanaka - Senpai down if he causes trouble." I said, making my way towards the elevator, Kageyama and Hinata right on my heels. "This is probably going to be a mess. . . Sorry for getting you two involved." I said, all of us stepping into the elevator. Kageyama clicked on the circle with the six on it and the doors closed, lifting us up. "It's okay. You've helped us out in sticky situations. We've got your back." Hinata told me, patting my shoulder. "Yeah. We're your friends." Kageyama agreed, looking up as the door opened. The immediate voices of Kuroo and Kai rang down the empty hallway, Daichi's also being heard trying to calm the two of them down. I bolted out of the elevator and towads the only open door, quickly dashing inside. I let out a little 'eep' sound and hid my eyes with my hands. Kai is standing there stark naked and his little friend over on the bed also seems to be that way too. "Shit." Kageyama cursed as he probably turned away at the sight too. I heard Daichi sigh and his footsteps coming towards me. "It's alright." He said in my ear. A pair of hands covered mine and Kageyama's familiar breathing came from behind me. "What the hell are you doing here?" Kuroo asked, probbly for the second time. "Like I said, sexually frustrated." Kai replied, levelheaded. I could hear some shuffling around and I really hope he is putting at least some boxers on. "Get out." I heard Kuroo say, probably speaking to the girl. "What's going on?" I asked, hearing some more shuffling and stumbling about the room. "The girl is leaving. She seems pretty scared." Daichi replied quietly to me. "No fuss is being made on her part. Smart idea." Kageyama agreed, just as the door behind us shut. I think she said something to Kai before leaving, but I can't hear very well. "You can look now. He's decent." Kuroo told me, Kageyama's hands dissapearing from mine. I lowered my own hands and snuck a look, making sure it was all clear before completly taking my hands away. Kai is now wearing pants thank god, I already died from embarassment seeing him naked. "You know that excuse of yours is bull right? I don't believe it for one second. I don't care what reason you have for this, but how could you leave Naoi all by himself in the streets?" Kurro asked angrily, the boy standing close to his brother. "I told him to stay home. How did I know he was going to follow me?" The teenager said blatently, his fists clenched tightly. "He's seven, what do you think he would have done?" Kuroo said through his teeth. "Calm down you two. I don't want to have to break up another fist fight." Daichi said sternly. "You punk. You shouldn't be such a dick to your older brother." Tanaka said, making that ugly face of his. "You wouldn't understand. None of you would." Kai growled. "How can we not understand if you don't explain it to us?" Kageyama asked, moving to stand by my side. "Do you know what it's like? To be constantally compared to with him?" Kai asked, pointing to Kuroo. "Tetsurou has gotten onto the volleyball team, why can't you do something like that? Tetsurou is cute, cuter than you are Kai. Tetsurou has the cutest girlfriend, you should try and find one like her. Tetsurou, Tetsurou, Tetsurou. That's all I ever damn well hear about." That last comment must have been from his mother. If Kai has really been dating bad grils then I can see why she would say this. . . "Kuroo - Kun isn't perfect, trust me." I said, leaning agaisnt Kageyama. The boy grumbled but allowed me to use him as a pillar. "Not now Niko. I'm not in the mood for teasing." Kuroo said to me, obviously not liking what I said. I shook my head, taking a step forwards and wrapping an arm around the boys arm. "I'm not teasing. I'm being honest." I turned back to Kai and gave him a slight smile. "He cheated on me you know. It wasn't his fault really, but it stil hurt none the less when I saw it. . . Your brother is probably one of the stupidest people I have ever met to be honest. He's mean, he has the worst mouth on him and he acts soley on impulse. But, he's a really sweet kid and gets embarrased at the little things." I smiled to myself then continued. "There's a lot of things that make him a good person and that's why I love him so much. That's why, I am not going to stand here and let you do this to yourself Kai, becasue you; you are a good person too. You're funny, witty and most of all a very kind person. You just have to be confident enough in yourself to realize that you are a person worth being proud to be. That's why you cried when I broke down the other day, a mean person wouldn't do that. . . So use what you have and make the most of your skill sets." It was quiet for a moment before my face started to burn. I sunk to the ground and covered my face with my hands. "Niko!" Hinata exclaimed. "Are you okay?" Kuroo asked, bending down to get a good look at me. "Ahh, that was really embarassing to say." I admitted, shaking my head. Sighs of releif came from the others. "Don't do things like that, you had me scared." Daichi said. "I thought my heart was going to expode." Tanaka agreed. "Wahh, Niko - Chan you made my heart flutter!" Hinata exclaimed, tackling me to the ground. I landed with a thud and nearly slammed my head on the floor from impact. "Oi, be careful." I laughed, ruffling the gingers hair. "Get off her." Kageyama growled, pulling the boy off me with one heavy tug. "You shouldn't say things like that if you are just going to get embarassed." Tanaka said to me as Kuroo helped me up into a sitting position. I pretty much got tackled again, but this time, by a dark haired boy. I brought my arms up and ran my fingers through Kai's thick hair, him burying his face into my neck. "There's something else isn't there? Being jealous of your brother cannot be the only reason why you are this upset." I asked him quietly, whispering so low that only he would be able to hear me. "She told me that she hated me. That Tetsurou was better than me, that maybe she should go after him instead of me. . . Why am I always chosen last?" The boy replied, hugging me tightly in his arms. "She?" "Sai Daichi. I really did like her. . ." I looked to Daichi who gave me a sideways look, wondering why I am looking at him so intently. I wonder if he is talking about the girl on the swing from earlier? "Doing something like this is only going to cause more pain for the both of you. Maybe we should all have a sit down, talk things over?" I said, looking back to the boy who is holding me as if I were to drift away if he were to let go. "I prefer trying to forget, maybe you can help with that." Kai said to me, suddenly biting the side of my neck. I got pulled out of his grasp immediately, Kuroo standing in front of me now, Kageyama and Tanaka giving the most fearsome glares. "I don't care what girl rejected you. Keep your hands off her." Kuroo growled at his brother. "Isn't that cute? Considering you play around with just as many girls as I do. What's the point in keeping one when you can have them all?" Kuroo pounced at his brother, going in to hit him. Tanaka moved then, trying to stop the two from killing eachother. "Daichi - Senpai. Kai mentioned your little sister. Do you think she could bring him back to his senses? I think she really hurt him!" I explained in a rush, holding onto Daichi's sleeve."Sai? I'll give her a call. If she is involved in this, I might have to give her a grave talking to." Our captain replied, excusing himself from the room to call his sister. I really hope she can help. . . . The brothers seem so far gone. . .
