The female could only distract herself from the current problem at hand, and what could be the perfect distraction than her master's miserable attempts to get Koharu to notice him. Hikaru always noticed how the boy's expressions softens up whenever he talks to her. It was truly a rare sight to see the blonde smiling and goofing around, and she liked it better than his resting bitch face she sees everyday.

From what she heard, it seems that the couple had started dating yesterday and a lot of their classmates urged the third year to tell them all about it. Thus, resulting to her tired out and weary self right now.

Hikaru's gaze snapped off Tsukishima when Yachi called out to her, "I-Izayoi-san, are you busy? I mean hehe I'm not forcing you if you're busy, I can just ask another person—" her rambling stopped when Hikaru interrupted her.

"...tell me what you need me to do Yachi-san... and please call me Hikaru" she said with a small smile on her face, relieving the nervous light haired girl in front of her. Yachi had the first impression of the girl as a snobby and hard to approach person, but it turns out, as always, she got it wrong.

Yachi walked together with Hikaru towards the back of the court, "Um, I'm currently busy with the notes for the whole club Iza—Hikaru-san, I wanted to ask for help. I was wondering hehe, if you could collect the swerving balls. But if you don't want to, it's okay—"

Hikaru couldn't help but chuckle at the girl, getting attacked by her usual anxiousness. "...please leave it to me..." and with that, Yachi left Hikaru to go fetch the balls.

About an hour later, the white haired manager called out Tadashi asking where her boyfriend is. "Oi aaked Yamaguchhi but all of them turned their heads to face her. "What? All of your names are Tadashi now?"she sarcastically asked cracking up everyone before they continued the practice.

The green haired boy on the other hand ran up to her, "You needed me, senpai?"

"Have you seen Yū?" asked the female, attracting the attention of a certain blonde, doing receives.

Yamaguchi scratched the back of his awkwardly, "Eh? Nishinoya-senpai? I'm sorry but I haven't seen him since the start of practice"

It wasn't long before the rest of the team flocked around them, curiosity getting the best of them. Coach Ukai could only shake his head, chuckling at the sight of everyone involving themselves when it comes to Koharu. It's only been 2 months and she's really become a part of the whole team.

On the other side, Hikaru felt incredibly uncomfortable and kept her distance from the rest. In comparison to her soft voice, her hearing is fine and can absolutely understand the conversations between all of them.

"Now that you mentioned, Noya-san wasn't with you when you arrived." Tanaka joined in, placing a hand under his chin. Trying to think of a reason why.

"I thought that couples usually stick together everywhere, why isn't Noya-senpai with you then, Haru-senpai?" the orange haired boy asked, nonchalantly, looking for his senior in all directions.

"I left him at the classroom earlier. Has any of you seen him?" everyone shook their heads except one.

Hikaru. And as far as she can remember she saw him being called out earlier by another student. She nervously walked closer to the bunch, "I-I think I saw him getting called out by a girl earlier, Senpai" she replied,unsure where he is right now.

The younger female flinched slightly when she felt a hand patting her head, and a warm smile from her senior. "Thank you Hikaru-chan. Sorry for interrupting practice Coach Ukai, Takeda-sensei!" the tall girl apologized and bowed down in front of the team's coach and adviser.

As Koharu started to walk towards the other entrance, when the blonde master of Hikaru held her back by the hand. Hm, he's being more obvious of his feelings. she thought, watching the two from afar. Although it didn't last long. The older female pulled her hand away and continued to search for her missing boyfriend.

Leaving Tsukishima, walking back with quiet an unexplainable expression on his face. For most, it was the usual scowl he wore, but Yamaguchi and Hikaru knew more than to let themselves get fooled.

Subconsciously, Hikaru walked over to her master who's standing in line waiting for a spike from Coach Ukai. "...goshujin..." she calls out.

The blonde clicked his tongue before facing his servant, meeting those pair of deep brown orbs of hers. "What? I'm still practicing so make it fast busu" he growled, sounding pissed off. The other members felt bad for Hikaru since she's always receiving constant insults from the tall guy, but in reality, his words never bothered her.

With a small smile on her face, she surprised her master again, "...that was a bold move goshujin... nice kill..." she muttered softly, using a common word they use when playing volleyball.

In an instant, all the gloomy air around Tsukishima disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with a cocky grin, "Pfft, what's with you, you weirdo?"

Hikaru could only shake her head, hearing another insult come out from his mouth. Well, at the same time she knew he's already doing okay. If he can spout shit then he's probably fine already.

Although, she herself is still not.
