Haikyuu Next Gen Captains Halloween
Kenjirou Shirabu had always wanted a dog. His dad didn’t seem to care, but for whatever reason, his mom was always firmly against it. She insisted Kenjirou wouldn’t take care of it and entertained the idea no further. Even as a teenager coming up on his last year of high school, he still wanted so desperately to have a furry little friend.
Then, while walking along the beachside road on his way to the convenience store to get more supplies for the evening’s Halloween party, he saw it. A small corgi with light brown hair was ambling across the sand. Its rear end appeared encased in some kind of container that quite amusingly looked exactly like a mermaid tail. The animal was undoubtedly in trouble, and Shirabu immediately resolved to assist the helpless beast.
Sneaking up behind, he nabbed the peculiarly nonchalant animal and began ferrying it home. Strangely the corgi seemed to have no trouble walking prior to its capture, and now Shirabu could see why: its hind feet protruded from the oddly slimy encasement on its exterior. After he wrangled the dog, the animal squirmed and barked violently, but Kenjirou flipped it onto its back in his arms and ran home. He didn’t have a plan as far as how he’d extricate the poor canine from its predicament; he only figured he’d be able to find a tool in the house to pry or saw off the mermaid-like appendage. His parents were out of town, so they’d never know. Part of him hoped that if he saved the animal, it would love him unconditionally, and then his parents would have no choice but to let him keep it.
The animal seemed to calm down once it was able to see Shirabu’s face. Most amusingly (though he’d never mention his impression to anyone), Kenjirou swore the animal’s face reminded him of his friend Shigeru Yahaba.
Once in the front room of his two-story home, Kenjirou set the corgi down. The animal quizzically scanned the space before turning a dry gaze at its abductor, almost as if to say it was unimpressed. Again Shirabu found the dog’s attitude quite like Seijoh’s impending captain, and the similarities now slightly annoyed him. Perhaps ironically, Yahaba had declined to come to Shirabu’s Halloween party tonight because he was busy.
“Um, just wait here, and I’ll find something to get you out of that thing,” Kenjirou nervously told the dog. The animal stared back like it was confused by Shirabu’s statement.
Once Shirabu was in the garage, Shigeru Yahaba took stock of his situation. He’d woken up that morning in a condition straight out of a light novel: he was suddenly a corgi boasting a mermaid’s end. Before he could even process what was happening, severe dehydration and instinct drove him to the ocean. Several hours later, he’d surfaced hoping to find something to eat and was quickly manhandled by none other than his friend Kenjirou.
This was the first time he’d been inside the Shirabu household—even though he couldn’t break the feeling that he had somehow been in this neighborhood before. Not in the mood for hanging out, he’d lied and said he had schoolwork in order to get out of the Halloween shindig for the next generation of volleyball captains.
Initially he believed there was no worse person to capture him, but after a while, he concluded staying here might not be a bad plan after all: he’d be cared for, have a roof over his head, and wouldn’t be in the presence of a total stranger. Kenjirou was also levelheaded—not as much as, say, Akaashi or Ennoshita, but levelheaded enough.
His estimation of Shirabu’s sanity changed when the boy reappeared holding a hacksaw. …
