"Oh, is that so well it doesn't matter to us, guess we will play along for now, see you later king" Tsukki said as he glanced from izumi to kageyama
"Oi don't call me that" Kageyama yelled at him
"Guess the rumours were true huh" Tsukki said as he left
"Hey Izumi c-can you come to gymnasium in morning we practice at 5 AM, even if we lose 3v3 i'm not at disadvantage only kageyama is but i wanna beat that arrogant bastard" Hinata said as he was thinking 'That tall bastard said he is also one of the elites even kageyama was surprised back then'

Three Hours Ago
Outside the gymnasium
"So you will be our 3rd player, I wanna play as a spiker, which position do you play" Hinata said as he was walking towards kageyama with izumi
"...I Play as Middle Blocker" Izumi said as they reached kageyama who is setting ball towards a wall
"Hey Kageyama"
"What?" Kageyama said without batting an eye
"Captain told me that he is going to be our third teammate for our 3v3 on saturday, He's Izumi" Kageyama held the ball and stared at him
"My name is Tobio Kageyama, i play setter position which position do you play" Tobio asked as thinking because the individual ahead of him seems familiar
"I play Middle-blocker position" Izumi stated as put his backpack on the ground
"Alright then we ca . . . hey h-have you played a match against kitagawa daichi bafore?, did you go to Yokosuka Middle school?" Kageyama said with surprised expression as he was thinking ' Is it him i didn't get to play against him for long as i was a middle school first-year and Oikawa was more familiar with team but i watched how he played is it really him why would he come to karasuno he disappeared after his first year tournament i didn't heard about him anywhere i thought he went overseas or something'
"yes i did played a match against them as a first-year middle schooler in Yokosuka Middle school"
"You're Izumi Saburo i knew it, I-I mean i went to kitagawa i was benched till 3rd set back then so you might not remember me" Kageyama was surprised to see izumi but calmed himself
"I remember you, your sets were really neat back then" Izumi said as he remebered the match back then
'Hey Izumi you really are some kinda monster man'
'We got your back let's take the win'
'I'm gonna fly as high as i can nothing's gonna stop me' As these thoughts hit him, Hinata and Kageyama noticed that his faced has darkned
Then they went to garden as it has bigger space than outside of the gym

Present
"I will be there" Izumi said as he was leaving
"A-Alright then let's practice tommorow" Hinata said with a bright smile while looking at izumi's back to which izumi just nodded
"Hey Kageyama you said you played against him is he good" Hinata looked at kageyama to know as he was curious
"Yeah"
"That's not enough to explain it, Did you win or lose back then"
"We lost" Kageyama stated with grin as he was looking at izumi walking out of the park
'I'm gonna show him that i'm better than Oikawa' Kageyama swore as they went towards there home
Next Day At 5 AM
Kageyama was walking towards gym as he felt somekind of Intent towards him as he turned around he saw Hinata sprinting towards gym like a maniac though to Kageyama it seems as competition and he started to run as hinata got ahead of him as he catch up to him.
As Hinata and Kageyama were racing towards the Gymnasium, Kageyama slowed down as he saw izumi is there already and doing Push-Ups with his legs on the stairs to get upper ground
"Alright I won this Crappy-Yama Hehe"
"Huh i was just distracted, like i would ever lose to you"
"But you just did" Hinata as in mocking tone as Kageyama was about to get him
"Hey Izumi when did you arrive" Hinata said as he crouched to izumi ignoring Kageyama
"I got here little while ago" izumi said as he stood from ground
"I told you to hurry up tanaka look they are already here" Sugawara said with apologetic look on his face towards other three
"Hey what are you doing here" Tanaka yelled with surprised look towards izumi
"What do you mean ofcourse he will be here, he is gonna be our teammate for the match afterall" said Hinata with bewildered expression
Tanaka went to open the gym and got in there with others
"Um izumi remember not to talk about this practice session with anyone else, especially daichi alright"
"I won't"
As kageyama and Izumi started getting net tied and ready to play
"Um izumi, Why did you stopped playing volleyball?" Kageyama asked as he couldn't understand why someone as talented as him stopped playing
"Personal Reasons" Izumi said like it's nothing serious
"Alright now let's start training" Hinata said as he was excited about today's practice because Yesterday Kageyama set him for the first time and he felt like he achieved something great

Saturday Morning
"Why are you depleting your stamina, we have a match to play" Said izumi while entering gym to Hinata and Kageyama as these two were running to gym and now panting on the ground
"Don't worry I'm gonna win afterall" Said kageyama with smirk as hinata fixed his point being 'we' and not 'I'
As they entered Tsukishima and Yamaguchi were standing on one side of the court with Daichi
"Daichi wasn't i supposed to play from their team" Tanaka said as he couldn't get why he keeps getting replaced
"I know but as this is a test and i decided it to happen so i wanna test them myself" Daichi said to make him understand
"Wasn't it to test their teamwork you can test that better outside of the court" tanaka whispered to himself
"Wh-wh? Yo-You're Captain" Hinata got shocked as he felt that odds are against them
"It's fine, i'm not much of a offensive player that's tanaka and ..... you don't have worry much, even so don't go easy on me because of that Okay~~" Daichi said to calm hinata
Everyone got on their position's and they were ready and focused but outside of the court was one who was shocked as she saw izumi, she is Kiyoko Shimmizu 2nd Year at karasuno high and also manager of karasuno volleyball team
(A/N it's not mistake about her being a second year i changed it as in OG she is 3rd year and i have my reasons to do that)
As she was looking at him and there eyes met she shook her head to left as for izumi he had many emotions going through him some of it were sadness, anger, guilty but he got himself together and started focusing on the match
"Hey Kiyoko are you alright?" suga asked as he noticed her looking at izumi to which she just nodded
Watching him ignoring she felt bad and she was feeling same as him though anger wasn't one of them she tried her best to calm herself and focused of match
'Who is he? Why did she have expression like at him?' thoought as he glanced at him
"Alright let's crush shrimpy first and then takeout the emo looking guy , Oh and i really wanna see how king tosses" Tssuki said as trying to make them lose their composure
"So are you gonna play or you gonna just bark like a street dog huh" said kageyama with irritated face
"Guess we should listen to his highness~ now" said tssuki and went to serve position as they are suppose to start
"Alright you guys get this started" Suga said as we wanted to see their skills as he hope them to better as if they are good with them they could make karasuno's dream of going to nationals true
As kiyoko whistled to start the game tssuki did a normal serve as it went towards izumi he got his hands in front as got ready to reacieve the ball and pass to kageyama.
"Wha ?" Kageyama said as he couldn't beleive it
