#haikyuu "sherlock" au pt. 1

They were hanging out on Kuroo's pad when Oikawa suddenly proposed something.

"Hey! Let's play a game" They were suspicious because when it's Oikawa, he's up to no good.
"What kind of game?" Kenma asked, making some of them turn and raise their eyebrows at him because when it comes to something like this, Kenma won't indulge Oikawa.

"What? I'm just curious" he shrugged and leaned on the couch, waiting for Oikawa.
"Hmm, it's a game of wit and reasoning."

"That's interesting," Kuroo suddenly said.

"Right? So. Are you ready?" Oikawa said, smirking.

"So, what is it called?" Akaashi asked, leaning his elbow on his knee, showing interest.

"It's called House of Sherlock."
- disclaimer: this game is a popular game inside of our group (online friends) we occationally play this so I thought why not make a haikyuu version ^____^

Anyway I made a ko-fi account because I'm broke rn 🥹

"Now, now Tobio-chan, it's easy" Iwaizumi rolled his eyes and hit him on the back of his head.
"Just explain it to us Shittykawa."

"Fine, I downloaded the app. It will be the one to generate each question, and each of it has a point depending on its difficulty." He placed his —
phone on the center table with the app opened so everyone could see it.

"That's it?" Ushijima asked.

"Yup. But let me tell you again that this is a game of wit and reasoning. Even just a slightly different explanation, it is still considered incorrect." Oikawa said proudly.
"You told us there's a difficulty level. Is there a head's up on what are those?" Suga calmly asked while they were arranging their seats.
"Hmm according to the app, it's riddles, decoding, and case analysis"

"Case analysis huh?" Daichi suddenly talked, and some complained —
that it was kind of unfair.

"Then we just need to answer faster than him" Terushima said, smirking while sitting comfortably on the couch beside Kuroo.

"Don't be too arrogant. Maybe you'll just answer the riddles" Terushima glared and rolled his eyes at Iwaizumi's comment.
"Finally! Let's play the game"

"Welcome to House of Sherlock"
Image
Tobio shivered when he heard the sound of the game from the phone. It was a strange and frightening sound, similar to those in horror films. He was glad he sat between Tsukishima and Kyoutani rather than next to Oikawa because he knew the older would tease him for his reaction.
"I think it's better if we connect it to the TV screen" Sugawara suggested before they officially started. Kuroo nudged his best friend, Kenma, when most of them turned to him. Kenma rolled his eyes but still stood up to set up the game.

"See, it's better."
They all stared at the screen, waiting for the game to start officially.

"WAIT. If you know the answer, raise your hand before approaching the phone." Oikawa then pressed the Ready, showing a person sitting in front of the table with many folders with 'Confidential' in them.
"Excellent graphic" All of them shush when Kenma commented.

'Which one?' the character from the game said. When he chose which one, the screen suddenly showed an opened folder with details. The top part of the folder says "RIDDLE" level.
'He woke up in a village, and he saw people. He closed their eyes for a moment, but they didn't see a single person when he opened them. Why?' Image
So, who's your guess who will answer this right?

I have small goal in ko-fi ^^
ko-fi.com/hemie
"He's just dreaming." Ushijima suddenly answered, making Oikawa complain that he's not following their rules. They were taken aback when a piercing sound rang. All of them turned to look at the screen, which showed 'INCORRECT.'
"Is this a speech recognition? I thought we were supposed to type the answer?" Kenma being the one who is knowledgeable in technology, asked Oikawa.

"I didn't know?" Oikawa answered hesitantly.

"Let's just play this game."
They just shrugged what happened and tried to think of an answer.

"Their blind?" Tsukishima turned to look at Tobio, who answered suddenly.
"Wow, you're thinking King." Tobio elbowed Tsukishima for mocking him. Still, his answer was wrong as the piercing sound rang again.
"His eyes are closed." Matsukawa tried to answer but was still wrong.

"They were all taken" Kenma answered casually, and all of them were surprised to hear a ding sound and to see the word 'CORRECT' on the screen.
"What!?" Kuroo was dumbfounded at the correct answer.

"Oh that's right!? Amazing!" Some laughed at Bokuto's words.
"So, we shouldn't think about it deeply, huh?" Akaashi commented. They all watched for the next question. Before the second question was revealed, they talked –
about how Oikawa didn't tell them that it was a speech recognition game.

"I told you I didn't know? It was not stated in the game." Most of them just shrugged it off when the second question was revealed but not Kita and Iwaizumi, who were staring intently at the screen.
'Move me once, and I'll be your man-at-arms, move me five or six times, then I can become your wife. What am I?' Image
Vote for who will answer the riddle right :)

sayout.me/say/hemie
Random thought, should I include MSBY and Adlers' members???
"Ring?" Aran sheepishly answered. The buzzer rang again. All of them tried to think of an answer when Sakusa suddenly answered.

"Pawn" When the ding sound rang, Ushijima turned to look at Sakusa sitting beside him. Sakusa shrugged and leaned his head on Ushijima's shoulder,
but then he and Iwaizumi suddenly looked at each other. Iwaizumi tilts his head towards the screen, and Sakusa nods like they have a silent understanding of what is happening. Kuroo somehow saw their exchange and unconsciously gripped Iwaizumi's hand, making him turn to him.
Iwaizumi hummed and adjusted their clasping hands. All of them flinched when the sound seemed more spine-chilling than before. When another folder opened on the screen, it didn't show another riddle but a case analysis.
'Huh, this seems familiar.' Daichi thought to himself but ignored it because there was no way he knew this game. The screen showed the question. Atsumu groaned when he read the question. It is more complicated than before.
'the case' Image
Which one is going to answer it right?
"That's hard," Asahi whispered to Sugawara.
"Yeah, more complicated than riddles," Suga said, still reading the scenario on the screen.

"What the heck is that question?" Some turned their head to Futakuchi when he suddenly outburst.
"Why, Kenji-chan, don't you have a brain for this?" Oikawa said mockingly. He let out a yelp when Osamu lightly pinched his waist.

"The bartender then they poisoned the victim." Terushima sighed when the buzzer answered him. He felt Kuroo patting his thigh, trying to cheer him.
"The cook then same reason, they poisoned the victim." Bokuto was giddy when Akaashi answered but felt dejected when the buzzer rang. Akaashi slightly chuckled when he saw Bokuto's reaction.
"Cashier. They can't be at the cashier the whole time and did the audit." When they heard the ding sound, they all looked at Kunimi, who casually answered the question.
"What?" Somehow Kindaichi wants to smack his boyfriend's head for being casual in answering a case analysis, but he remembered that Kunimi likes to read crime stories.

Tobio squeezes himself more on the two because he feels weird.
Tsukishima and Kyoutani turned to look at him worryingly.

"Are you okay?" Tsukishima asked and held his hands.
"Do you want to go home?" Kyoutani squeezed his thigh that his been holding since they started playing.
"I'm okay. I just suddenly felt nervous." They held Tobio tighter when the spine-chilling sound played and the next scene showed on the screen. Image
Choose one ^^
"Who is Brutus!?" Hoshiumi exclaimed, making everyone laugh. Tendou looked at Semi when he whispered,

"Why are there X and Y there? I hate math" Goshiki agreed, making Tendou facepalmed.
"I think it's another chess-related?" Konoha doubtfully said.

"X is Knight, Y is Bishop? Who is Brutus?" Iwaizumi answered, and the buzzer rang.

"I think it's right. X is Knight. Y is Bishop, and Brutus is also Bishop."
Aran clapped his hands when Kita was the one who got it right. When another spine-chilling sound played, Hinata complained.

"Where are the easy ones!? I can't play," Hinata huffed. Kenma strokes his waist, trying to calm him down.
"This is the third case," Rin commented.

Somehow all of them knew this, but they didn't make it a big deal as maybe it's just the algorithm of the game.
"That's fucked up." Osamu said when they read the question. ImageImage
"All of the people he killed didn't really die?" Futakuchi winced when the buzzer rang.

"They become zombie" Lev slightly giggled when he answered and the buzzer rang again. Yaku, who is sitting beside him, hit his head.
"No. It's because the mother was the one that disposes of the bodies" All of them turned to Daichi when they heard the ding sound. Daichi looked so serious, staring at the screen. Sakusa and Iwaizumi suddenly looked at each other. Somehow they noticed something is strange.
"I've encountered this case." They stiffened when they heard what Daichi said. Tsukishima tightened his grip on Tobio's hand when he felt him tremble while Kyoutani pulled him closer.
"Maybe the developer just happened to stumble the case on the news?" Kenma said while holding Hinata closer to him. Suna felt Atsumu shiver, so he hugged his waist.

"That can't be," Daichi said. Suga held onto his arms as he felt scared all of a sudden.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped as silence engulfed them, waiting for Daichi.

"This case was kept confidential because of viciousness." Akaashi held Bokuto's hand tighter after Daichi finished what he was saying.
"That's, then how?" Oikawa looked confused and terrified as he was the one who suggested playing this game.

'Calm down,' Osamu whispered while caressing his back.

"I don't know -" a lesser creepy sound played, and when the folder opened, it showed 'RIDDLE' on top of it.
"- what I know is we should try to finish this game" When Daichi said that, all of them turned to stare at the screen, determined to finish the game faster.

"That is harder than we thought," Sachiro whispered after reading the riddle.
"Belt" Tsukishima answered immediately, and the ding sound rang. Tobio sighed when the question was answered faster than the previous ones. Image
"Maybe we're just overthinking this?" Ushijima hesitantly said.

"We will never know. Unless we see the other cases," Kuroo turned to look at Iwaizumi, who looked grim when he suddenly spoke.
And somehow, it looks like the game answered them when another spine-chilling sound play indicating another case will be shown.

"I doubt we are overthinking this" They heard Sakusa, who whispered because of the silence. They are all waiting for the folder to be opened.
"Fuck" that's all they heard from Daichi when the case was shown. ImageImage
We're almost at the end 😉
ko-fi.com/hemie
"Why?" Oikawa stiffly asked.
"This is also a confidential case," Daichi said, almost whispering.

No one talked for a moment. All of them hold the person beside them.
The piercing sound rang again, and they turned to look at the screen, confused. Tobio felt his breath taken away when they saw that the game suddenly had a time limit.

"What? What's happening!?" Tobio asked. Tsukishima and Kyoutani tried to calm him down as he was panicking.
"What? What's happening!?" Tobio asked. Tsukishima and Kyoutani tried to calm him down as he was panicking.

"Fuck. We need to answer the question. We only have 5 mins" Sakusa said, sitting straight while staring intently at the screen.
"Shit. I'll kill whoever created this game." Iwaizumi said.

"Let's just calm down so we can think properly," Kita said.

"Maybe Lovelle because she is ex-girlfriend?" Matsukawa answered. They winced when the buzzer rang louder compared to the previous ones.
"What if it's Shaun? Sometimes it's the one who discovers the body." Oikawa tried to answer but to no avail when the buzzer rang. They all tried different answers but failed. They didn't want to know what would happen if they couldn't pass this round,
especially now that they knew the cases were all true and confidential. They were freaking out now that they only had 2 mins left.

"I have an answer." All of them abruptly turned to Shirabu.
"It's Raven. He used hydrogen cyanide to kill Caliber." All of them held their breath, waiting. And they sighed when the ding sound rang.

"Shit, that was closed," Akaashi whispered while holding Bokuto's hand tighter.

"How did you know?" Daichi asked Shirabu.
"We learned it. And I just happened to remember when I read it over and over again. Hydrogen Cyanide may smell like some bitter almonds."

"So, what's the plan?" Kuroo asked.
"Oikawa, where did you get this game?" Oikawa fidgeted with his hands when the attention was onto him.
"Someone recommended it to me?" Osamu caresses his back, encouraging him to talk.

"Who?" Tsukishima seriously asked. Oikawa thought, and when he remembered, he suddenly gasped.
"It's ....... a volleyball player." They stiffened when they heard Oikawa's answer.
Surprise ig hahshhsa
ko-fi.com/hemie
Choose wisely ^^
"I.. let me think" Oikawa said. They tried to think of who it might be, but they couldn't say it out loud. They're close to all of the volleyball players, and just saying it makes it more painful for them.

"Are you sure it's a volleyball player? Not a fan?" Bokuto asked.
"Yes I'm sure. The game was recommended to me after the game, and his face is familiar" Kuroo turned to look at Oikawa after he said it.

"What if it was just a fan? Like obsessed fan that's why he's familiar?" Kuroo tried to reason out that maybe it's not a player.
"I... think I remember" Oikawa took a quick glance at the teammates of that player. He can't believe he forgot that it was him who recommended the game as he questioned that player about it.

"Who is it?" Daichi asked, but Suga knew he was nervous about the name Oikawa will say.
"It's Adlers' captain" All of them are beyond shocked, while Tobio, Ushijima, and Korai are stunned.
"Are you fucking sure?!" Tobio shouted, making Tsukishima hold him tighter so he won't launch himself toward Oikawa.

"Yeah. Now I remember it clearly." They stayed quiet, waiting for Oikawa to talk again.
It was after MSBY and Adlers match. Oikawa happened to be present, just because. He went to the court to tease them, especially Tobio and Atsumu then he went with them to the locker area. There were many people, so when Oikawa was walking,
he didn't notice that he had bumped into someone.

"Hey!" Oikawa said, and he noticed that the person had fallen, so he picked it up, but he saw the screen. If he didn't see it or ask, he was not the one who would invite everyone, but unfortunately, it just happened.
"Huh what is this?" He didn't think that the person he bumped into would hear him.
"Oh it's a new game" Oikawa turned but quickly went back to staring at the phone.
"Want to play it?" He didn't even hear that there was something weird with Nicollas' voice because of the crowd.
"Of course!" Nicollas smile widened when he heard him. When Oikawa walked away with the game installed on his phone, he quickly turned and walked toward the locker room. He tsked when he thought about how he didn't get the chance to give the game to Tobio.
'But this is not bad' was what Romero thought.

Korai swears his captain, Ushijima, was calmly talking to Sakusa, but it was clear that his hands were trembling while Tobio remained quiet. He didn't know how to react. All of them, not just the Adlers' teammates, are speechless.
The silence was broken when something showed on the screen and a voice suddenly talked.

"Disappointing. You figured it out this late, but I will still give you a chance. Let's play another round. This time the question will be
tw cw // death threats, curses

"Who should I use to polish up how I will get away with murder?"

"You have ten minutes to decide," Nicollas said while laughing. Image
"Fuck you!" Tobio screamed on the screen even though he couldn't see his captain, the former captain.

"Tobio. Tobio. Don't worry, you're an exception. Oh, did you know? I was initially planning to give you the game. But well, this is also a better"
Tsukishima and Kyoutani glared at the screen, and they were quick to make Tobio calmed.

"What should we do?" Issei asked when Romero remained silent even when they cursed him several times.
"Should Kenma just try to hack him?" Atsumu asked.
"I can try. But should I risk it?" Kenma asked them seriously. They can't just do anything risky because they don't know if they are safe. Yes, they are in Kuroo's pad, but the thing is, he turned it into a playhouse several months ago,
and most of the players already have been into it, specifically the Adlers.

It was a minute left when Romero talked again.

"Well, do you have an answer now?" Hinata shivered when he heard his voice.

"You should use yourself. Fuck you"
Sachiro tried to stop him, but Korai angrily shouted again.

"Should I use you first, Hoshiumi?" Korai stopped and suddenly, Sachiro pulled him closer.

"How can you even be sure you can use us?" Daichi suddenly asked, standing in the middle of the room.
Iwaizumi also stood up and stood beside Daichi, while Sakusa just stood behind them.

"Of fucking course I can. I planned this for months now." They winced when Romero laughed maniacally.

"Did you know Romero that Daichi is a police officer?"
Romero remained silent for a few seconds before answering.

"Of course, I knew that! How can I not know?" Sakusa hummed before walking in front of the tv screen. He stopped before crouching in front of it, staring intensely at the camera.
"Hm, then how about Iwaizumi having a strong intuition? Kenma being skillful that he can program using a phone? Or how the police are already in front of your home?" Sakusa talked with an unwavering voice.
Romero, who is currently staying at a nearby hotel, stood up and looked at the peephole and cursed when he saw there were several police officers. He went back to the table where his things were.

"Fuck you. FUCK YOU! I'll kill all of you!" Romero screamed at the laptop.
He turned around when he heard that the door was knocked down. He even tried to escape using the balcony but was caught.

"Daichi, he was already arrested." They jumped when a voice suddenly heard in the room but relaxed when they understood it.
Tobio and Korai cried when they knew it was over. They cried because it was unexpected that their captain could do these things.

They hugged their loved ones but remained seated as per Daichi's order. It was to wait for the officers to check if they were safe to leave the room.
"How?" Akaashi suddenly asked despite the quietness. Daichi recalled what happened.

Iwaizumi and Sakusa knew that they both noticed something stranged on the game, and later on, Kenma also finally saw a camera below the tv screen.
It was Iwaizumi and Sakusa who communicated first when they were given the opportunity to sit beside each other.

"It was weird right?" Iwaizumi subtly whispered so Sakusa can hear.
"Yeah. What should we do?" They both remain to stare at the screen.
"We should observe first." Several minutes later, they saw Kenma staring at them. When Kenma knew Iwaizumi and Sakusa had noticed him, he subtly pointed out the camera below the screen. That's when they asked for Daichi's help.
Before the last two questions, Daichi was already texting his chief about what was happening. Then, with Kenma's help, he tracked the person behind the game using his own phone. The thing is, they still didn't know who it was until Oikawa told them.
Several thank yous can be heard when the police open the door of the playhouse. That's when they breathed out, they were all safe.

It was traumatizing, especially to teammates of Romero but what matters the most is no one was physically hurt.
They were assisted out of the playhouse and interviewed about what happened for evidence. They didn't notice that someone was late to come out, and that's the only time the tv screen turned off. Who and why? No one knows.
THE ENDDDD!!

If you read up until this, I want to thank you and hope you enjoyed reading this. This is actually my first time trying to write this kind of genre, so I'm sorry if there are inconsistencies.
There are no part two (I got the first tweet wrong😔) but idk it fits to actually end it like that HAHAHA so again thank you detectives! 😉

#sakukage

Kageyama has a crisis. The management decided that the volleyball team would live in a dorm during their training. And guess what? He is roommates with Sakusa Kiyoomi. He shouldn't have any problem with it, but he has a secret crush on his outside hitter.
"Are you injured?" Kageyama jumped in his seat when Sakusa appeared in front of him. He was sitting on his bed, facing the other bed, while stretching his shoulder.
"Ah no just sore — Sakusa-san?" Kageyama was confused when Sakusa adjusted him so his back was facing him. Kageyama was dazed when Sakusa kneaded his shoulders.

"Hmm" Sakusa felt happy that Kageyama let out a satisfied hum when he was massaging his sore shoulder.
