Part 1

You are at one of your practice games and it is against none other than Itachiyama institute. These girls are rather good but the real reason this school is known is for their ace: Sakusa Kiyoomi. Still, the girls deserve more recognition for making you break a sweat. The game is in the final set with 23-21 as the score for your team. The ace of the other team runs in for a spike, but you noticed that the setter's form is a bit flawed, so you know she is going for a setter dump. You, being the natural libero that you are with your amazing reflexes, dive in to retrieve the ball and send it with perfect accuracy to your setter. There is not a ball in the world you can't retrieve and that is the reason behind your nickname "Inazuma neko"(which stand for lightning cat because of your fast reflexe and 80% rate for your receive).She (the setter) then sets the ball for the ace (on your team) and she spikes it down with one of those "BAM" sounds. You and your team think: "sweet! only one-point left, and we win the set". But then a graceful "swoosh" takes you out of your thinking phase and you see Itachiyama's libero retrieving the ball while giving you a smirk, and you know for a fact that she's thinking: "two can play at that game". You look at her and say:

-Bring it on, smirking back at her.

You look at your setter and she is already looking at you because she knows what you have in mind. She slightly nods her head and turn it to look at the back row and they all give you thumbs up, thus all of you are on the same page. In the meantime, the other team spike the ball once again but this time the ball is set for the opposite hitter. The back row gets ready to receive and you start your run because this time you are the spiker (I know this is impossible according to volleyball rules but in this story line it is!! OK). You spike it down with such power and determination that you know Atsumu would've been proud, on top of that you score another point for your team. As you fall back down from your spike your right foot slide on the gym's floor due to your sweating earlier. Both your feet fly off and you are now in a parallel position to the floor. We can read the fear in your face as you wiggle in the air trying to catch your balance. You end up falling on you back, although that was not the worst, since you were wiggling in the air you right knee bended inward and you ended up falling on it. As all of this is happening you hear a tearing sound coming from your knee, you then proceed to roll over and start screaming as if your life depended on it and balling your eyes out while holding your knee . Interrupted by your screaming, your team stop cheering about the point you made earlier and they all start running your way. You can see in their face that they are worried but the only thing that mattered in the moment is the horrible sensation of burning and the amount of pain in your knee. Your coach comes in running and says:

«I know you guys are worried about her but for the love of god, move you are probably stressing her out even more».

-But coach Kataoka..., whines Osana (your team's setter)

-Osana-chan you want to be helpful, then call the ambulance the address is: 675-0163 Hyogo, Kako District, Harima, Komiya, 4-chome−3−1, shouts the coach.

She then proceeds to do so while both teams are just standing there worried. Osana comes back and tell the coach that they will be there in 15 minutes. Coach Kataoka is panicking a bit because you are one, if not THE most valuable player on the team and the tournament is in two months. He pushes that thought in the corner of his mind and asks:

-Y/N-chan whats going on, he whispers quietly.

-My knee fucking hurt that's what's happening coach and its burning from the inside, you yell.

-You know what I am going to go get some ice, stay here, he says while moving towards the door.

-Where the fuck to you want me to go, you yell once again with tears running down your face.

-MIYA!! I get that you're hurt but language, he shouts back at you.

He leaves for a few minutes and comes back with two small bags of ice. The coach bends over to you and try to apply the ice, you move your body and reach out your hand and give him a sign to hand you the ice so you can do it yourself. Both teams are simply chatting in the background and then you hear it, the sound of the ambulance you sigh in relief. You turn around and look at your team and you plead Osana:

-Aki-chan could you please call my brothers and let them know what happened.

-Sure thing Y/N-chan, she answers,

-Thanks a lot, you say while the paramedics are entering the gym.

They come to you and carry on asking you what happened, you then tell the story of your fall. Afterwards, they start to examine your knee which is now twice his natural size with a strange blue colour. At the sight of your knee you suddenly feel light-headed, continuing their job the paramedics don't notice your sudden weakness and start to move you on the stretcher. Then you feel a heartfelt pinch in your knee, as if someone was drilling it from the inside and you loose consciousness.
