CHAPTER NINE

Nishinoya's PoV

"OH! SHOYOOOO!" I screamed as I saw Hinata arrive with Kageyama. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi might arrive soon. They were panting, probably because of their running.

"NOYA-SANNN!" He greeted back.

After a few more minutes, the two other first years arrived.

The party is in full swing. Everybody's having a fun time. Even Kiyoko-san showed up!

Kageyama and Hinata are smacking each other with empty soda bottles in the head as a game. I wanted to join in but Daichi-san suddenly called for me.

He was by the window, looking out.

"You called for me?" I asked. He looked at me and said, "Can you bring Akira an umbrella? It's starting to rain."

This puzzled me a little bit. He's the boyfriend, why couldn't he do it?

"I can't go to her, someone has to look over these dorks. They might burn the house down." He said and laughed. Yeah... I guess that made sense. I nodded at him and went to the door, where there's an umbrella rack.

I took two long umbrellas and headed out.

It's very chilly outside. The droplets are gradually getting stronger and stronger. I had to hurry, or she might get wet from the rain. I ran at full speed, going through the path where the nearest convenience store is.

"Hey! Get away from her!"

I saw Akira-san getting dragged by three men. He was about to put him in his back and probably take her away but I had other plans. The men looked at me with smirk in their faces.

They probably think I'm just a kid because of my height.

I hate people who thinks low of me because I'm short!

I took the big umbrella and smacked the man who carried Akira-san in the head and he immediately let go of her. He winced at the pain, as he rubs the part of his head that I hit.

Akira-san fell on the ground... she's unconscious.

The fact that she's not waking up enraged me. What the hell did these guys do to her?!

While the guy is still rubbing his head, I went over and punched him in the face. He fell down on the ground with a thud and I punched him a couple more times. His friends looked at me with alarmed eyes, and after I'm done breaking his nose, I glared at them.

They backed away slowly, probably scared because of what I did to their friend. My knuckles bled with blood but I don't care. I would break my hand if it'll teach these guys a lesson.

No one messes with our Akira.

I ran to the other guys and jumped. My foot landed in one of the guy's face and fell down on the ground too. I'm a volleyball player, I jump high. No matter what their heights are, I can reach it.

I probably broke that guy's nose too. That only leaves one more guy...

I looked at him and he's not scared of me. He dashed to me, trying to land a punch but because of my height, dodging is easy. I side stepped to the right and smacked his back with my long umbrella.

Now all of them are down. But the two isn't that injured like the first guy. I'm not good at fights, we should probably get out of here.

While they're immobilized, I took Akira and the plastic bag lying on the ground.

I put her on my back and ran at full speed back at the house, even with the rain soaking us.

It was a little bit hard. She's not supposed to be this heavy but she's unconscious, which adds to her weight. After a few minutes more of running at full speed, we reached the house.

"Daichi-san!" I shout as I approach the front door. When I reached the door, it opened with an alarmed face of Daichi-san and Ryu.

"Akira! What happened?!" He shouts as he opened the door and went to my side. He took Akira-san from my back and carried her in his arms.

He quickly ran to the living room and lay there in the couch.

"What the hell happened, Nishinoya?!" Daichi shouted at me, alarmed. Who wouldn't be scared when you see your girl friend being carried in the back and unconscious?

"There's-" Before I could speak, Ryu suddenly butt in.

"Noya-san... your hand..." He said and pointed at my knuckles. I looked down and it's bleeding more blood than it did earlier. I let go of the plastic bag on my other hand and sat on the free sofa seat.

"There are three men trying to kidnap her."

The whole team gasped, waiting for me to continue.

"She was already unconscious when I arrived. One guy was already taking her away so I beat him up. I broke his nose." I said with a sad smile and looked at my hand. Well... breaking my hand is worth it.

"What about the others?" Ennoshita said.

"I kicked the guy in the face. The last one was trouble, I know I couldn't beat that guy. So I smacked his back with the umbrella and when the three of them are in the ground, I dashed and took Akira-san with me."

The room was quiet. We didn't know what to do. We can't go to a hospital yet, those men might be waiting for us.

Daichi-san sighed.

"We can't take her to see a doctor yet. We'll let her rest here. If anything goes wrong, then we'll go to the doctor."

We nodded.

"So... I guess that means the party is over?" Hinata asked softly. Kageyama glared at him and smacked him in the head. "Stop being insensitive, boke!"

"I'm not! I'm just asking!"

"Yes, Hinata. The party is over. You guys can head home now." Daichi-san replied, with a sad smile in his lips.

"Well, those kids can go home. I won't. I'm going to look after Akira too." Suga-san said as he crossed his arms. "Suga you don't need to-"

"Shh, I don't need your opinion. I'll look after her too, and that's final."

"It won't be fun when there's only two of you, wouldn't it? I'm in." Ryu said as he gave us a thumbs up.

"Me too."

"Me three."

"Me four!"

That went on until the whole team present has said their number. Daichi-san was tearing up, seeing all of us step up to help his girl friend.

"You guys..."

He did cry. But this is no time for jokes. We all wrapped him in a hug and comforted him until he calms down.

That day, we lived as if we live in the same house. We've got different tasks and stuff.

Ennoshita cleaned my wounds and checked if my hand was anything serious and thankfully, it isn't. He bandaged me up and went back to our tasks.

Daichi-san took Akira-san up in her room so she would be more comfortable. She still haven't woken up yet.

There's a spare room upstairs that can fit the whole room. We set up a bunch of pillows and mattresses in the floor so we could all sleep comfortably.

It's already night time, and the rest of the boys are sleeping already.

But I'm wide awake.

I looked at my bandaged hand and thought about Akira-san.

What was that all about? Did that happened coincidentally or someone intended to kidnap her? My hand hurts so bad but she might be hurting more. I don't know what they did to her but I'm worried.

Very worried.

I hope she gets better soon.
