Sakura Crossover Headcanons
Ever since I saw @kyoties Haikyuu!! crossover posts I've been getting some High school Au crossover headcanons. So here they are:
Sakura has followed the sport since she was in diapers because her dad use to play a lot of it in his prime, but it was more beach volleyball. In fact, it was thank to the spirt that her parents met.
He was also a fan of indoor volleyball so she's grown up around the sport. He even taught her some of the the basics when he had time.
(Her dad even make volleyball puns when the opportunity arises.)
In middle school, she used the sport to help her de-stress.
One day, the principal, Tsunade, found Sakura on the court after school and saw a lot of potential in her as a player, and having been a volleyball player herself she offered to play with her. This eventually lead to a mentor student relationship.
Even though sakura never played the sport professionally, Tsunade continued to help sakura improve in her techniques. She felt deep in her bones that one day Sakura was going to need it.
When Sakura graduated Konoha Middle School, her mother was offered a job in the Miyagi Prefecture, which allowed her to go to Karasuno.
She also looked up to the little giant since she could see how hard he worked when she saw him play at nationals.
Her being 5'3" and having played with the boys net height with Tsunade, she knew how hard he must have workes to jump over it. She had nothing but respect for him. (Maybe a crush too since he was pretty easy on the eyes, but you didn't hear it from me. 👀)
She and Yachi become neighbors!!!!
This allows them to become friends, infact really good friends.
They get along intellectually and can read eachother like a book. Sakura keeps Yachi from spiraling down her anxious rabbit hole( along with being very proactive of her), and Yachi calms her down when she snaps.
They also study together a lot and if one doesn't understand something, they can rely on the other to explain it to them.
Anyways, sakura was a little bummed that there where no upcoming volleyball games for a while, but when they had their first game she sat in the back of the bleachers unnoticed. She was blown away at the strategies, and their determination to win.
Though, she did note that the still had a lot to learn before they would be able to go to nationals.
She continues to watch their matches afyer that, silently cheering them on, noting their improvements and what needed to ne improved.
She even watch as the first years run to practice from her classroom window.
She loved seeing how excied they got and laughed at some of the loud banter that they yelled.
When it came to their final mach against Seijoh, and lost she was heart broken. She knew those boys deserved to play against shiratorizawa. To play at nationals, and it was then she decided to help these boys make it too the top when the opportunity arrived.
When Kiyoko is in search of a new manager to take her place, she approches both Yachi and Sakura. The two girls where not really paying attention as one was more focused of Kiyoko's beauty and stares of the other students, and the other was thinking this was the perfect opportunity to help the team. By the time Kiyoko was done, they both agreed to becoming manager.
Feeling overjoyed, took both of their hands (causing them to blush) and thanked them telling them she'd meet them up after school.
Feeling Yachi's nerves kicking in, Sakura took hold of her hand and gave her a smile. Takimg a deep breath, Yachi calmed down and returned the smile, remembering that if she did take on the position, at least her bestfriend would be by her side.
Part 2 coming soon!
