This wasn't suppose to happen. He was suppose to train hard during the night and catch up to the others in no time. He checked the weather.
It was not suppose to storm.
Rei struggled to keep afloat. He kept his arms around the kick board given to him by the others during their training session. Waves big and bigger slammed against him and pulled him underwater even with the kick board in his hands. He was completely disorientated, his senses out of control.
His eyes were filled with salt water, his goggles off his eyes pushed off by the raging waves. The only thing he could hear was the ocean around him, the salt water splashing against the nearby rocks. He was tired and thirsty, he was swallowing too much salt water and he knew but he couldn't do anything about it.
Anxiety and panic began building up within him, his body's reaction to danger. The adrenaline was useless, the ocean looked endless and dark, no matter how much Rei kicked he was just brought back and down by the giant waves.
Eventually he ran out. He ran out of energy, ran out of want to survive, Ryugazaki Rei, for once, gave up. He was exhausted, couldn't move a muscle. Reislowly let go of the board, waves moving his relaxed body from side to side, pushing him deeper and deeper into the ocean. His lungs filled up with water, struggling to gain some kind of energy and swim to the surface he kicked with all of his might, but not nearly enough.
His eyes stung as he kept them open trying to reach the surface, his lungs began filling up with salt water. His lungs hurt, his head hurt, his throat stung. When he saw someone on the surface he tried reaching out and screaming for help. Nothing. No sounds came out of his throat.
Everything stung, every inch of his body felt like a giant wound being rubbed against with salt. His body began itching but he was unable to scratch it. His lungs felt like they were being crushed by tons of weight, desperately trying to gain some oxygen he inhaled but only water filled his mouth.
As the waves pushed him even deeper his eyes closed and Rei lost consciousnesses.
