[12] Household

Third Person's Point of View

"Are we there yet?!" Tanaka asked for a hundredth time was replied by a grunt from both Daichi and Tsukishima.

"We're almost there senpai!" Shoyo whose enthusiastic of the trip replied watching the familiar scene around him. Today, the school has a check up to see if the fire in building B has caused any sort of damage or upcoming damage to the entire school. The principal along with the advise from the student council made the decision to close the school for a day for the process and with the gym being closed for the day, the boys volleyball team was offerered by both Senri and Akari to practice at their place. But of course, without the other offers coming from Lyrica and Kai.

"Hinata-kun!" Takeda-sensei, their driver called out grabbing the attention of all the boys as Shoyo stumble his way near Takeda-sensei that's looking at his front. "There's a gate."

The boy's volleyball team watched in awe at the sight of the giant wooden gate in front, the size of it make the bus they are riding seemed more like an ant than a bus itself. The entire area beside the gate is covered in a wall enough with the same size as the gate.

"Wait for a sec Sensei." Shoyo requested as he pulled out his old looking cellphone with his eyes glued on the gate, his fellow members were only looking at the male in anticipation of what he'll do next. "I'm outside. Open up."

After Shoyo ended the call, the sound of the gates opening was then heard, and the young first year immediately scurried its way back to its seat which was near Tanaka whose looking at him weirdly which he replied by a smile.

"I was calling the gate keepers." He sheepishly stated, rubbing the back of his neck in the process.

"Your so cool... This is bad." Mumbled his senior but left unheard by Shoyo still laughing sheepishly and the movement of the bus indicating its now heading straight towards the gates stopped Shoyo from his movements and continued to watch the view outside which was all forest and rivers.

"This is an entire mountain!" Exclaimed Nishinoya and Tanaka as they arrived at a traditional Japanese house whose size will probably take days before it  will be completely checked.

"Shoyo-sama!" A man greeted approaching Shoyo whose busy helping Daichi with the items on the trunk. The man is wearing the usual Yukata, with his long brown hair tied into a low ponytail with his long bangs covering one of his brown eyes, series of scars scars all over his handsome face. Upon reaching the said man, his curled one of his knuckles while his other is held open as he kneeled on one foot doing a bow similar to a ninja.

"I'm please to see you return."

"Hello Itsuko-san!" Shoyo greeted back waving both his outstretched arms while both his shoulders carries the gym bag filled with some equipment for their practice. Itsuko, who noticed hastily took the bags from his master taking it inside without passing in front of the dazed members of the team.

"N-ninja..." Stuttered Tanaka and Noya whose eyes followed the retreating form of Itsuko and was replaced by the approaching form of Akari who greeted the male first as the male bowed back to her with utter respect.

"Hello guys."The girl greeted with her usual smile that seemed to have matched with her red orange kimono. "Please do come in." She gestured inside.

"I really appreciate the thought of you guys offering the area for practice." Takeda and Keishin gratified as they went their ways inside with the still dazed members following in suit.

"We're friend after all." The girl replied with a smile. "Grandfather offered that before you guys went on to practice, breakfast should be taken."

She immediately called a maid whose passing by and asked to wake Senri up before they all proceed to the dining room where an old man is seated in front that looks like a throne laughing as Himitsu showered the old man with series of jokes.

"Gramps!" Shoyo shouted with happiness running straight to the seated man and tackling him in a tight hug, which erupted another set of laughter from the old man whom face is quite similar to Shoyo's adorable ones.

"Hey!" Greeted Himitsu and the other members of the music club whose already seated at the traditional table of the house adorned by valuable sets of Utensils.

"Oy..." Tanaka whispered to the closest man beside him which was Sugawara. "Isn't this a bit too ravish?"

Sugawara nodded in response. And was about to reply but was stopped in his tracks when his eyes fell on Shizuku and Yachi who was seated beside Lyrica and is talking normally.

"Please have a seat." Akari offered to which they all followed after saying their thanks, taking a seat in front of the members of the music club and upon arrival of the one of the owners which was Senri, they began to eat with the music club in their usual loud chatters and the volleyball boy's excluding Shoyo and their managers awkward and silent eating listening closely to the conversation of the music club, and gulped hardly when the lord of the house open their mouth and asked a question.

——

"The food was delicious!" Commented Shoyo whose being followed by a depressed looking Tanaka.

"That was horrendous." He added slightly shaking at the events from earlier.

"What was?" Shoyo questioned with confusion written all over his face.

"That your filthy rich and you don't know it!" Tanaka screamed to his face grabbing the first year by the shoulder and giving it a harsh shake.

"Tanaka that's enough!" Daichi stepped in gesturing them to start their warm up with in the given area Akari and Senri gave them just in the garden.

In amidst of the busy practicing boys sparring with each other, Shoyo and Kageyama continues on with practicing the timing of their quick. As Shoyo and Tobio started doing their quick, Shoyo's grandfather who happened to be passing by stopped in his tracks watching his grandson's actions with another man.

"Itsuko, whose that man?" Itsuko, standing behind his master who was given permission to speak replied.

"He is Kageyama Tobio, the king of the court."

The old man looked at the team once again and went walking ahead with a chuckle.

"I think I'm gonna go and see these match more." He stated. "Watching birds flying is truly magnificent." He added as he head straight towards the room opposite of where the people from the music room was just practicing the entire household of the Hinata's filled with laughter from both groups.

————

"Thank you so much." The boys formally thanked with their usual uniformed bow with Senri, Akari and their grandfather in front of them.

"We really enjoyed our stay." Takeda inserted with a thankful smile.

"Feel free to come visit anytime." The lord of the house offered while rubbing his long beard. "I'd enjoy more laughter from you guys.

"You be careful on your way home okay?" He then said turning from the boys to the half of the members of the music club that came at the manor with Himitsu in the lead.

"Don't worry, we'll be safe." Himitsu assured to the old man.

"Weights starts tomorrow okay!" The three younger Hinata's flinch from their current place watching as their grandfather gave them a peace sign. "Starting with 50 kg."

The three didn't say anything else but a sigh of defeat, as they bid each other goodbye with Shoyo walking inside the bus.

"You guys aren't gonna join?" Sugawara whose one of the last student to enter the bus asked as he glance at Himitsu, Kai, Lyrica and Rizumu who shook their head in response.

"We had a ride don't worry." Kai answered, with assurance Sugawara went inside the bus, bidding goodbye to the weird family they left behind.

And yet, not soon before they reached the gates, the sound of two similar engines different from their bus was heard from each side of their ride.

"Himitsu-chan?!" A surprised Sugawara exclaimed watching as the girl on her motorbike, with Lyrica taking a strong grip behind her drove seriously at an accurate speed with Kai on the other side with the same ride and his sister behind him doing the same.

The two waved the team a goodbye before driving in ahead at the opened gate.

'That was cool...' Thought Sugawara whose eyes follow the smoky trail of the girl's bike oblivious of the stare he receives from both Asahi and Daichi.

————

The tiring walk back home made the boys grunt as they passed by their coach's shop with Tobio and Shoyo back to their arguing state about the house from earlier.

In amidst of their argument, a familiar figure rushed through them stopping behind Tsukishima to hide.

"Makino you bitch!" A voice suddenly shouts all slurry and inaudible as a man in his forty's with the similar appearance to one of the Music club's member came into view, holding a broken bottle of booze with blood dripping from it.

The boy's instantly went to defensive mode in attempt to protect the girl behind her lover whose eyes are already darkening in anger at the sight of his girlfriend.

"Your so useless!" Screamed the man oblivious of the people around him because of the alcohol's effect.

"You want to run away?! Fine! Get lost!"

"Yeah she should get lost alright." Tsukishima whose patience went downhill went to the man and grabbing him by the collar, turning deaf ears to his lover's protests.

"Your a useless excuse for a father!" He screamed to the man's face. The man was about to punch him but was stopped by Keishin who went for a straight blow on the man's face Knocking him out.

"Makino." Tsukishima turned to look at his girlfriend, scars all over her body and blood dripping from her forehead. "Let's take you home first."

Upon stating it, the girl's consciousness slipped out of her body, with her lover as the last sight.
