The water is your friend. You don't have to fight with water, just share the same spirit as the water, and it will help you move.

…….Swimming……..
That's all I cared about
Till I met him
He made it hard to follow the blue road.
It was a swim meet that I first saw him. Suna High against Konoha High, we were tied all the way down to the last event. The 400 relay, I was on the A team and he was on the A team also. He was anchor and was swimming against me, to make things worse, Chicken butt with his sexy smirks and his body that looks like it could be illegal to have, was the lane right next to mine. I tired so hard to not let my self get caught by my team mates not focusing and being distracted. I was next up and saw Temari do her flip turn and swimming back. I hopped up on the block, adjusted my goggles and soon I flew down the blue road.
I knew we were losing by a lap, so that gave me all the motivation I need.
Come on Sakura; swim faster if you want to reach your goal
I was coming out of my last flip turn; I heard my teammates screaming my name, cheering for me. I caught up with chicken butt and we were neck and neck.
Sorry chicken butt, but I can't afford to lose
I kicked my legs a little faster and reach for the wall. I hit and looked at the board
Lane 1. Kiba Inuzuka 56.23 place 5th
Lane 2. Jungo 57.65 place 6th
Lane 3. Rock Lee 54.31 place 4th
Lane 4. Sakura Haruno 50.04 place 1st
Lane 5. Sasuke Uchiha 50.16 place 2nd
Lane 6. Kankuro 52.23 place 3rd
Lane 7. Hinata Hyuga 58.26 place 7th
Lane 8. Sai 59.02 place 8th
I smiled, and looked up. Temari was reaching over the block offered her hand to help me up.
"WOOOOO….. You did it sakura! You totally kicked Uchiha's ass! You even did it in his pool!"
Temari dragged me out of the water and gave me a hug. We slowly walked back to where our team's bench area was.
I laughed. I reached up and took off my cap and goggles. My pink locks slowly fell to my mid back.
"Oh come on Temari, its not that big of a deal. So I won, yippy"
Temari started to say something but was cut off
"Good job Sakura!"
"Hey good swim"
I dismissed these comments with a wave of my hand and went over to my bag. I pulled my warm up pants on and started to put my arms through my jacket when an arm wrapped itself around my neck.
"Hey, nice swim Sak"
I looked over my shoulder to see Kankuro grinning.
"pfft, way to keep up Kuro"
I taunted him. He hates that nickname because apparently it ruins his rep.
Like he had a rep to begin with
" Hey don't get all stingy now, you know I don't try when I'm in the B relay"
He backed up and started waving his hands in front of his face.
"Mhmm, just like the time at counties, when you were doing fly"
I finish getting my jacket on and zipped it up. I can feel the water from my suit seep into the cloth.
"Hey I tired"
I pulled my damp hair back into a loose ponytail, then turned to him with my hands on my hips
"Kuro, coming in last place isn't trying"
Kankuro shrugged then walked away. I scanned the pool area and saw people leaving or chatting. I grabbed my swim bag and put the strap over my shoulder.
"Alright guys, I'll see you guys tomorrow at school. Peace"
After hearing goodbyes and a few good jobs, I started walking towards the door. I pushed the door leading to Konoha's hallways open and left the chlorine smelled area. I walked down the hallway trying to remember how to get out
Ok, when we first came in, I think we made a right here and a left here and then go straight down this hall and turn right and the parking lot should be right there
I spotted the doors and walked out into the parking lot. I scanned the lot for my silver lambo. I spotted it and started walking towards the car. I got my keys out and unlocked the trunk and threw my bag in there. I did a quick scan around the area to make sure no one was around. I unzipped my warm up jacket and threw it next to my bag. I leaned down and unzipped my swim bag to get a tank top out. The best thing about high school swim season is it's in the spring towards summer.
I pulled out my bra and put it over my suit. I lifted the straps to my swimsuit and pulled it down my arm. So now basically, I'm standing in the parking lot next to my car with only a bra on and my warm up pants on. I pulled my suit out from underneath my bra and down to my hips. I reached into my trunk and got my black tank top out. I started putting my arms through the holes and was about to lift it over my head when a voice cut through the air
"hahaha I can't believe Teme got beat by a girl!"
I saw the chicken butt guy and a blond guy walking over this way. I quickly slipped my tank on, shut my trunk and hopped in the driver's seat before they could notice I'm there
"Shut it dobe" The chicken butt hissed, glaring at the blond to say anymore about the topic
The blonde put his hands up in defense and grinned
"Fine, fine, but Teme you gotta admit, you lost to one hot chick"
The chicken butt guy grunted and opened the driver's door to his truck, while the blond guy hopped in the passenger's seat. I watched them go before I started my car and drove away. I took the back roads home, since it didn't matter what way I took since it was the same amount of time. I finally pulled up to my apartment complex's gate. It was nearing nice o clock.
"Can I help- oh Sakura its you"
A man who looked in his thirties leaned out the window. A cigarette hanging from his mouth
"Hey Asuma, just getting back from my swim meet at Konoha High School"
Asuma took a drag
"Huh, well alright… was staring to worry about you"
I smiled
"I'm fine Asuma; you really shouldn't worry about me, especially when Kurenai is having her baby. Speaking of which, if Kurenai sees you smoking again she'll turn all her mood swings on you."
Asuma glared at the pink girl. He sighed
"Well that's if I get caught"
I laughed
"Whatever you say Asuma"
Asuma let me through the gates and I drove in. I pulled into one of the complex parking lots. I turned off my car and went to get my bag out of the trunk. I slowly climbed the staris while fishing out my key from my pocket.
"309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, ah here it is. 316"
I put my key in the lock and open the door. I flicked on the light switch and dropped my swim bag by the door and went into the kitchen. I grabbed a glass from the cupboard and turned on the water. I watched the glass fill up, wondering if I make those kind of bubbles when I dive in the water from the block. I brought it to my lips and took a gulp. I noticed a blinking red light and turned my head towards it. The light came from the answering machine, I crossed the kitchen and pressed play
"You have one new message. Today at 9:05 p.m" I looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall, it wall 9:10...just missed the call"Sakura this is Tsunade, press the ignore button and I'll kill you." Never before in my life have I been so tempted to press a button "Anyways this is about the swimming issue. Since today is Friday, monday you are starting school at Konoha High and swimming for their swim team. We've already discussed this Sakura, I expect you to be at the pool tomorrow at noon. Let me make my self clear again Sakura, if you aren't there tomorrow you will regret it." Well isn't someone moody "End of final message. You have no new messages" thank you for making the clear!
"Ugh, this can't be happening"
I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. I climbed the stairs and went to my room. Even thought it was close to 9:30, I wanted to be asleep before he came home. I burrowed into my blankets, before my eyes closed I thought one thing then the rest is darkness.
Maybe it will be good if I swim for Konoha's swim team instead of the Suna's swim team……
Will help me reach my goal
What I didn't know is that I soon was going to regret saying that
Hope you liked it ^.^
