**"Insignificant being be gone!"**

### **Endings and Beginnings**

A young orange-haired teenager male is standing on an empty court, glancing at the net, a black and orange uniform emblazoned with the number # 10 on the back of his jersey.

"There is an enormous wall in front of me blocking my way. I can only wonder what is on the other side. What does it look like? Is it the view from the summit? I`ll never be able to see it on my own but if I have others on my side..." The voice trails over, as several pairs of shoes join the singular pair on the line.

A blow of a whistle and then loud shouts of "thank you!" erupted from the owners of the pairs of shoes, as they ran from the line that they were standing on.

The same orange-haired teenager from before and a girl running beside him appeared, before the boy stopped suddenly in front of an electronic store with the girl skidding to a stop. Toppling over onto the ground, she glared up at him.

"You idiot! Tell me next time when you`re stopping! I don`t want to injure myself before our family gathering next weekend!" She snapped, as she hauled herself over the ground biting angrily into a bento that she had packed herself. He only hummed in reply eyeing the tv in front of him and she got up, looking over his shoulder. As soon as she did so, they witnessed a short black-haired player jump as if he had wings and send the ball shooting straight-down. Their mouths dropped open and the girl balked at the look the boy gave her.

"Oh Karasuno the next town over, they`re not half-bad." One of the men watching the volleyball match replied.

Another teenager boy with sandy-colored hair skidded to a top, and sighed as he watched his two friends eyeing the volleyball match which had just ended.

"Hurry up Hinata and Sakura! We`re going to lose our soccer field!" He shouted at the two, with Sakura nodding her head.

Hinata`s eyes sparkled as he glanced at the tv. "Karasuno..." He said before trailing off in his speech.

Approximately 3 years and 3 months later

Hinata hurries down the stairs, his teammates nowhere to be found as they are struggling to keep up with his rapid speed-walking.

"Hinata slow down!" The same sandy-colored haired boy shouts in desperation, Sakura sighing beside him as she watched her companion shout at their captain. Tapping him on the shoulder, she grabs his hand before slowly dragging him down the stairs.

"Izumi it`s no use, the knucklehead wouldn`t even listen to me and I`m his vice-captain." Sakura said, a dark look appearing on her face. Izumi shivered and tried to calm Sakura down to no avail.

Hinata ran into the stadium, the rest of his team soon appearing behind him, Sakura sent Hinata a dark look. Taking him by the collar, she began to slap him out of reflex as she started muttering underneath her breath at him.

"Listen to me and listen to me well. As your Vice-Captain I`m telling you to stop being too fast! Izumi and the rest of the team can barely keep up with you so slow down!" Sakura said, a dark look appearing on her face.

"I`m sorry!" Hinata said before Sakura released his collar, ending with him falling on the floor.

"Oops..." Sakura said, a blunt tone in her voice, with the rest of the Volleyball Team sweatdropping at her casual tone of voice.

"What if you dropped him and he got a concussion!" Izumi said, panicking a little.

"I would never Izumi...what do you take me for? A murderer? Honestly..I`m not that cruel...Izumi..." Sakura said in a protesting voice.

"...I don`t know about that...you`re pretty hard on Hinata...." Izumi said, scratching his cheek sheepishly.

"Sho-chan! Move out of the way! Another team is coming!" Sakura shouted at her brother, a dark look emerging on her face.

"Somebody please calm down our vice-captain, I think he`s going to murder our captain at this rate! Somebody do something!" Koji shouted at the rest of the team who shook their heads, cowering at Sakura`s enraged expression.

Kitagawa Daiichi appeared behind Hinata, causing Sakura to lose it, grabbing Hinata by the ear, she forced him to bow while she apologized for his rudeness before dragging him off. The rest of their team shivered at the dark expression of their vice-captain and their eyes darted to look at the floor.

"Hinata!!! What were you thinking?! As the captain could you please show some respect for your station?! I can`t always be looking after you! You understand right? Good!" Sakura said before stalking over with Izumi tugging on her jacket and begging her to calm down.

"Sai-chan please don`t be so hard on Hinata!" Izumi said, a pleading look on his face and Sakura sighed before nodding her head.

"Okay." Sakura replied, before turning around to glare at the rest of her team. Her team hurried over to her, scared looks on their faces.

"We`re on the receiving end so let`s move! I want those receives to look nice and poised!" Sakura shouted and her team nodded moving into the receiving position.

The other team watched Sakura spike the ball, with many of the team`s members failing to receive the ball and she sighed before motioning for Izumi to come over.
