Day 1

Haru rolled over in bed and sighed. He couldn't sleep, tomorrow -or rather in a few hours- he would go to school and then have a joint swim meet with the Samezuka swim team.

Haruka stood up from his bed and padded over to the small dresser that sat next to his closet where he hung his swimsuits. He pulled out a hoodie and some sweats, then quickly changed. Haru was soon downstairs and pulling on his tennis shoes.

When he stepped outside Haruka shivered slightly and pulled up the zipper to his neck on the hoodie and went off to jog in the usual path he took by the ocean. Every once and a while Haru would get a shiver, the kind you got when someone was staring at you. A few times he even looked around to make sure that no one was there.

Once Haruka reached his two mile marker he stopped to catch his breath. A bench sat not to far away with a view of the ocean. He walked over and plopped down as he panted heavily. Haru's breathing slowly evened as the waves crashed down on the sand in a lazy rhythm.

He hadn't realized so much time had passed until the sun peeked out on the horizon, shining off of the water beautifully. Haru sighed as he took into account another sleepless night. The swimmer stood up to begin his run back when he heard someone clear his throat.

"Hey, Nanase," Haruka turned around right as a metal baseball bat connected with his temple.


Rin was in the middle of his stretches when he saw the Iwatobi swim team walk in. He smiled and raised his hand to wave when he noticed their down faces and a certain raven-haired swimmer missing. The red-head jogged up and asked the million-dollar question.

"Oi, where's Haru?" Makoto looked at him with worried green eyes.

"I'm not sure, Rin-chan. When I went to pick-up Haru-chan this morning I didn't find him in the bath or anywhere in the house. I thought 'Maybe he headed out without me?' and began my way to school. When I got there I couldn't find Haru-chan in the class either and nobody has seen him since yesterday." Rin felt worry for the free-style swimmer grip at his heart.

"I hope he is okay," Rin jumped slightly as Sosuke appeared behind him with a slightly worried face. Nagisa was the only one to notice that the worry didn't reach his eyes. The blond narrowed his eyes as Sosuke spoke again. "He is a good swimmer and it would be upsetting if I didn't have someone strong to compete against anymore," Rin, Rei, and Makoto nodded in understanding but Nagisa watched the other cautiously. Something was off.

"Haaaaa~! The triceps!" the boys were broken out of their silent staring contest as Gou stared at Mikoshiba. Rin rolled his eyes and they soon got to practice. What they were oblivious to was Haruka, knocked-out and tied to a chair in the basement of an old cabin in the woods. When they would find out whom had done it, Haruka would be dead.


Okay I am leaving Seijuro Mikoshiba as the captain of the Samezuka swim team because I don't ike it that in Eternal Summer Rin is the captain because he doesn't get as much time then to spend with Haru-chan.

Please review and tell me how I did!
