Chapter one:
Ripples played across the water, a shadow swiftly made its way through the ripples.
Swift and effortless strokes delivered by powerful limbs, propelled it further and faster across the surface.
Nothing but ripples and timed splashes broke the silence, sunlight slowly filtered through, breaking and seeping into the shadows, slowly exposing the silent swimmer. As the rays crept further into the shadows, ripples shimmering amongst the rays of gold. A splash sent crystal droplets into the air, causing the light to reflect off them.
A second splash exposed a long limb to the sun. The rays latched on tp the golden skin, warming it as it arched over the water, only to plunge back into the icy depths of the dark water. Just as the limb disappeared, not a second later, another broke the surface; propelling the exposed figure further onwards.
As the sun made its way into the world, the rays crept further across the water. No longer shrouded in shadows, the figure basked in the sunlight. Rays danced off the golden limbs as they made their journey through the water. Light reflected off the black goggles, only to shimmer through the bronzed orange hair, which was swallowed up yet again by the water.
As the body made its way to the edge, a hand shot out and grasped the ledge. With ease the body slipped out of the waters grasp and launched itself into the air. A cascade of droplets followed as powerful legs landed on the cold tiles.
Grasping his goggles he slowly blinked away the water dripping from his hair. Leaning down he grasped a towel and walked over to the benches. Early mornings were always the best time to get in some laps. Perfect start to the day.
A blast of Metallica's Fade to Black broke the serene silence of the morning. Putting the towel aside, he grasped the offending device, and effectively put an end to the noise with a flick of his thumb, "What?!" anger not quite evident but shimmering under the irritated tone in his voice.
"Do you have any idea what time it is? What the hell are you doing at the pool 5 o'clock in the morning, on a Saturday?!"A shrill voice screeched across the line.
Sighing and grumbling to himself, he replied in a bored manor, " Yuzu, why are you even awake? Plus you should know by now I go swimming every morning. Helps to kick start my day."
"But nii-chan! It's Saturday, oh and you forgot to close the door. Dad got all hyped about you putting us at risk and what not." Yuzu explained, "Anyway Ichigo. Sorry for interrupting you. See you later nii-chan! Love you!"
Ichigo smiled at the greeting, placing his phone back into his bag. His dad could be such a drama queen sometimes. Still smiling to himself, Ichigo got back to towelling himself dry. The sunrise almost complete in all its glory, had him in a happy daze where his thoughts were nowhere in particular.
The sound of footsteps put an end to his peaceful moment. Turning around on the bench, Ichigo saw his team mate and twin make his way through the gym to the pool. His twin was an exact copy of himself. Where he was tanned and had bronze orange hair coupled with honey brown eyes, his twin was pale, a smooth porcelain white that worked for him. His hair was so fair that it was occasionally mistaken for white hair. His eyes were the real attraction. Due to a slight eye mutation, his eyes were more golden yellow, and where a normal human would have white sclera; his were black.
"Shiro! You're late!" A disgruntled Ichigo stated. A watery voice chuckled slyly to himself, "Sorry Ichi... But damn not everyone wakes up in the dead of night to swim"
Shiro walked to where his younger twin was sitting, moved his gym bag aside and straddled the bench; facing Ichigo's profile.
"I know try-outs are soon for the Olympic team, but working yourself dead will not guarantee your spot" Shiro teased him, "Plus, we will definitely make the team. Our times are the best." With that said he flicked Ichigo across the ear and ran for the pool. Before Ichigo could do or say anything, Shiro grinned and shouted back to him, "Race ya!"
With a gleam in his eye, Ichigo grinned and dropped his towel, following his twin he shouted back, "You're on Shirosaki!"
