What happens when someone dies? Sam was about to find out as he stood in front of the man holding a gun at him. Shit. He'd gone and really screwed up now, hadn't he? This was not how he expected his Sunday afternoon to go down. He'd gone ahead and done something stupid… and now he was going to die, laying in his own pool of blood. The attacker was long gone and he heard a woman frantically calling 911 while someone kneeled in front of him.

Noise. That was all he heard. He had long stopped being able to differentiate sound and noise, and now they were all jumbled up with each other. The wound on his chest stopped hurting a while ago and Sam felt like he was getting light headed. He tried playing hero, and now he's lying on the ground, waiting for death to take a hold of him. He knows the ambulance won't make it in time, he's lost too much blood. The wound's too deep, the blood won't stop pouring out of his paling body and painting the pavement in crimson red. He just decided to let go, to let the cruelty that is life take its course of action.

'You're going to die here, buddy… but at least you did something…' He thought to himself. The attacker fled without getting what he wanted. After attracting such a crowd, the guy had dropped his hold on the purse and fled the scene before he could be caught. Sam smiled to himself, his face and brain no longer cooperating with him to actually smile but he thought to smile. He was able to help the woman out. 'I'm glad.' Sam felt his eyes droop. Someone was shouting at him. Probably telling him not to give up and that he was too young to die. Sam wanted to laugh. Most of all he wanted to live. But life never went as planned. He finally allowed his eyes to close and embraced the darkness with hesitation. The noise had died down, fading away until Sam heard nothing.

What now? Sam was surrounded in a darkness that engulfed him so that he couldn't even see his own body. What happens when you die? Sam shut his eyes tightly as a light appeared on the other side, temporarily stunning him. Well, he was about to find out.

The noise started up again. It started out muffled, undistinguishable to his ears. A faint beeping could be heard from the direction of the light, and it left Sam confused. But not as confused as he will be in a moment.

He felt hands wrap around his body and pull him forward. 'What's happening?' he thought to himself as the hands shoved him closer to the light until it engulfed him entirely. The noise turned into sound. He could heard things more properly now. Footsteps. Voices. The beeping getting louder, and suddenly he found himself staring up at a man in white, with a mask over his mouth and gloves on his hands. 'A-A doctor?' Sam thought and suddenly he became aware that he was small enough to fit in the man cloaked in white's hands.

No way. Sam's brain started working out what was happening. It seems the doctor smiled behind his mask.

"It was a safe delivery, miss. Congratulations on your twins. This one seems very quiet." He said with mirth. Sam couldn't understand a word coming out of his mouth. Wait… A labored breathing could be heard. Wait…

"C-Can I see my baby?" A woman's voice this time, still in the same language he couldn't understand. As stunned and troubled as he felt, Sam found himself even more stunned as he was moved around the table -'operating table' Sam supplied himself- and was face to face with a woman with blonde hair, with a tired expression on her face. The woman smiled at Sam. Did I…

"Welcome to the world with your older brother… Kai…"

He didn't believe in reincarnation, but he sure as hell couldn't deny that he was just reincarnated. But another problem surfaced. This isn't English. '…I have to learn a completely new native language…'

-Author's Note—

Ahhh, after reading so many rebirth fanfictions going around, I wanted to tackle it myself. I just got into Haikyuu!, and I thought it might be fun to try a rebirth fanfiction in this new fandom of mine. This is a prologue so, how did it go for you? Do you already know who's going to be his brother? Some hints have been dropped.

Warning once again, this is an Original Male Character story. Meaning there will probably be undertones of gay and yaoi. I haven't planned out who he would most likely be paired with, so I guess once I get the basic story started and some characters introduced, I'll put up a poll vote, or you can start commenting?

Sam is not big on anime so… the only thing about Haikyuu! That he knows is that his friends tried to introduce it to him. He's not a volleyball enthusiast but he certainly liked playing it as a pastime. From now on, he'll be called Kai, his new given name.

See you in the next chapter. Warning: the first few chapters, is going to be baby/child arc. And before you start reading, there are spoilers in this fanfiction.
