Ch.47 Awarding The Lost

Miyuki's POV

We headed back to the lockers, having a quick meeting before having our award ceremony. I walked behind the group as we started to sit down. Coach Ichika sighs as she sits too. I, for one couldn't sit anywhere.

I wanted to hit something. Let my anger out. I decided to stand, next to Aratani who's sitting down.

"Miyuki." Coach Ichika began. "You got something to say?"

The team looks at me with either puffy eyes and confused looks. I gripped my towel and I sighed heavily. I darted my eyes to the 3rd years. Fumiko is covering her head with a towel, Namika didn't look up at me. Mai and the rest of the 3rd years were looking. I couldn't speak. I had so much to say. I am so overwhelm right now.

"Why didn't you set the ball to me??" My voice shake as the girls looks up to me. Seika stands up and faced me.

"What do you mean?" She hisses as the other 1st years started to shake in fear. "Just because you're the ace doesn't make you the boss around here. You didn't even help us find a way to counter Saki-chan's attacks."

"Me." I muttered and smiled a bit, flashing my eyes to her. Even if she's an inch taller, I am so pissed!!! "Me? I just frickin' got here. This is my first Japanese High School Tournament! You and everyone else knows who Saki-chan really is! So the fuck did you all not tell me or find a way to counter!!" I gritted my teeth and growled a bit.

My eyes flashing to every one but not Aratani. She was in fear. I glared at them. "Don't you guys set to your aces when we are being cornered?! I was ready to take the set! I was wide open. Do you all know why they were no blockers on me??"

Seika backs away as Kairi sighs and stands up. "You're right, Miyuki. Sakiko knew all of us. We shouldn't have relied on you for this game."

"Why would we anyway? Sakiko doesn't know you and yet Miyuki can say this us??!!" Seika accuses as Coach Ichika just let us talk it out.

You. Are. Dumb.!

"Sakiko knows all of you! She knew where to cut the ropes and choke all of us out!! I came here, to Itachiyama, to play volleyball. What we did, it felt like we got swept, even if we won the first set. I was in the perfect position for a counter attack, we should go back and watch footage if we have to. But for now, I'm sorry. We have an award ceremony to attend to." I snapped before turning my back on them.

"Let's get this thing over with so we can properly talk."

I heard Coach Ichika standing up and passed me to open the door. "We'll talk afterwards." I lead the way as I didn't notice I was gripping my towel. Aratani, however, ran up to me and took my towel.

"Here." She mutters as I thanked her. "You did great, Miyuki. I wish I was brave as you."

I sighed. "I wish I could've done something more peaceful. I am so overwhelmed. I don't even want to watch, Kiyo-kun right now." I muttered softly. I felt a bit exhausted and forgot that I had pain in my hip. I felt like crying but, fuck that. I did my best.

I let the 3rd years to take the lead, basically, we both went to the back of the group. As we got there, Geba High School was already lining up as the crowd was going wild. Itachiyama was cheering but I know it's not about us as the Boys were here. I gave a quick glance at Kiyo-kun before turning away. He was already staring directly at me but I couldn't face him. I just lost.

Sakusa's POV

Finally, Beautiful Snow came back. The refs allowed us to warm up a bit before performing the award ceremony.
