Chapter 6 will be Chapter Hayabusa! Hayabusa tries to enter a pool-hopping contest, and also helps out Hayate with some problems, although Hayabusa might end up being a bit more hands-on than he expected…we also have an OC from my friend Tusara joining alongside Sayuri! A muay lerdrit fighter from South Korea named Jimin! She works for Helena, being a substitute for Bayman when he's off doing revenge Donovan stuff lmao – also check out Tusara 's stuff on twitter and he streams on twitch as 7usara!
Hayabusa's swimsuit is also inspired by art from Kuma-Kun on Twitter. Please check out his stuff.
Sorry for the delay guys but I was literally struggling with homelessness. Got a roof over my head now, and a new lil' laptop for writing, games and college!

Hayabusa was very oddly enjoying every single volleyball tournament he competed in. He was becoming well-liked among many of the roster for being kind and giving many gifts. He mainly teamed up with Hayate and occasionally Ayane or Kasumi in his volleyball games. However, he wanted to step out his comfort zone and do another activity.

He got out of his bed and tried to put on the swimsuit Tamaki gifted him. I-is it supposed to be this tight, Hayabusa thought? After struggling with the zipper, he finally got the swimsuit on. They sort of resembled baseball shorts – if they'd shrunk in the wash multiple times. A small shirt that couldn't even squeeze on was discarded and was replaced with a tank top.

Hayabusa sighed and left his room. He took a deep breath before heading out. As he headed down the stairs, he tried not to make sure Tamaki noticed him, as she was talking downstairs with a woman he'd never seen before.

"Our roster is lacking a sexy older woman like yourself...~" Tamaki caressed the woman's cheek, but it was slapped away.

"You've got that Nyotengu woman, don't you?" her eye twitched in disgust.

"Well…" Tamaki said, "more is welcome, no?~. Plus, you're a bit of a tomboy like Mila…" she studied the side-shaved ponytail, thick eyebrows and gender-ambiguous swimsuit. Crush me instantly, mommy, Tamaki thought.

"Ugh, I hate that word to describe me. Look. I'm only here to see Lady Helena. I couldn't get a hold of her so I had no other choice but to come here."

"What about your little comrades Bayman and Leon, huh?"

"Shut up, it's nothing like that"-

A creak on the floorboard made Tamaki turn around instantly.
"Oh...my...GASM!~" Tamaki noticed Hayabusa was finally wearing the swimsuit she provided him, "that zip has the strongest willpower in the world!~"

Hayabusa flushed slightly, noticing the zip had come down a bit, "I-I thought you had my exact measurements, Miss Tamaki…"

"I mean I did, but I hadn't realised you were so gifted"-

"Tamaki, let the boy change," the woman said.

"I-I'm fine, Miss...uh…"

"Jimin," she said, approaching Hayabusa and shaking his hand, "I work for Miss Helena and sometimes substitute for Bayman."

"I-I see, my name is Ryu Hayabusa," Hayabusa said, "well, don't worry Jimin...I'll be okay."

"I hope so too, Mr Hayabusa," she rolled her eyes, "go do your fanservice stuff or whatever – Tamaki, hey, we were talking!"

Tamaki had followed Hayabusa outside. Hayabusa sighed and just pretended she wasn't there. He noticed Hayate sitting near the outdoor swimming pool, dipping his toes into the water.

Hayabusa slowly approached him, Tamaki not-so-subtly following behind.

"Hayate…" Hayabusa said.

"Oh, Ryu…" Hayate looked at him then looked away, "p-please, sit. I guess you can too, Tamaki."

Hayabusa sat next to Hayate on his left, with Tamaki sitting on the right.

"You...okay?" Tamaki asked, "you don't look too good, handsome.~"

"It's Hitomi...she's mad," Hayate said, "about yesterday...when we were in the changing room and"-

Tamaki fainted from internal fangirling and fell into the water. Everyone ignored that. Lmao.

"...And I was helping you put on your swimsuit," Hayabusa flushed slightly, remembering how hands-on he had to be with helping Hayate out.

"She...got the wrong idea," Hayate said, "and this wasn't our first time where we acted this way…"

"IT WASN'T?" Tamaki's head bopped out the water, "WAIT, THE STAGE, WHEN THE STAGE WAS FINISHED! ARAAAA! ~" an unknown hand pushed Tamaki's face underwater.

"That's enough of that," Bayman's face bobbed out the water, "god, she's annoying."

"How long were you under there?" Hayate showed clear concern.

"Long enough to hear"- Bayman got the fright of his life, "what the"-

"PUNISH ME MOOOOORE!" Tamaki tried to climb onto Bayman.

"Screw that I'm out," Bayman left the pool, Tamaki tugging at his swim trunks, which were now at his ankles. Hayabusa chuckled slightly.

"Well, at least Tamaki's gone," Hayate scratched his head, "it's just...Hitomi isn't speaking to me, is there any way"-

"Give her some time," Hayabusa said, "have you ever tried pool hopping?"

"I-I've seen it from the Venus Festival on TV…" Hayate said, "it seems...fun."

"I've never done it before…"

"Me neither…"

"Want to...do it together? Just for practice?"

"...yes," Hayate stood up, "uh, Hayabusa, your swimsuit"-

"It's... supposed to be like that," Hayabusa sighed, tugging at the zip.

"If you say so…" Hayate said, "I'm sure Tamaki would love to see you in action wearing that…"

"Heh, you're right about that," Hayabusa said, "so all we have to do is try not to fall into the pool, correct?"

"Yes, I'll get the obstacles out and ready," Hayate placed a hand on Hayabusa's shoulder, "there's an instruction manual near the pool teaching you how to play."

Hayabusa headed near a stand and opened the manual, reading the instructions on how to play pool-hopping with an opponent. Seemed simple enough, although he was confused by "button prompts". Assuming that maybe he just imagined it, he shrugged it off and put the manual back.

"Perverted," a voice murmured.

"Huh?" Hayabusa turned around, realising that a noticeable short, thin, blue-haired scientist was right beside him this whole time.

"Unsightly," NiCO slowly walked towards him, "treacherous…"

"Are you referring to my, uh…"

"LITERAL INDECENT EXPOSURE!" she pointed at his crotch.

"Look, I'm just wearing the swimsuit Tamaki lent me, I'll change if it"-

"Good," she said, "I have witnessed the negative hat-man butt-naked all thanks to Tamaki's clumsy hands. I'm a changed – and disturbed – woman." She clenched her fists, "this so called 'vacation' was a mistake…"

"Well, I'll get changed and I can, uh...we can do some pool-hopping. Hayate and I were"-

NiCo scoffed at him, then walked away.

"Oh well," Hayabusa shrugged, hoping that maybe she'd lighten up in the next few days. He went to go get changed in something less...unsightly.

…

Hayate sat at the pool, waiting for Hayabusa.

"Hayateee!~" he turned around after hearing Hitomi's voice.

"Huh...Hitomi? You're not mad?"

"Hehe~, it's okay now. I thought about it more…"

"Hm?"

Hitomi placed her hand onto Hayate's, "I'm okay with it."

"Okay with what…?"

"Don't play dumb, silly. I trust you. Tamaki just likes to put us in weird situations – oh, there he is!"

Hayabusa arrived to the pool, "how's this?"

"Much better," Hayate said, "what matters is that you're comfortable, Ryu."

"That's correct. Have you done pool-hopping before, hitomi?"

"Course I have!" Hitomi beamed, "c'mon, I'll teach you two how to do it!"

Creative juices go byebye. Sorry if this chapter was a little short. As I'm working on my original novel, fanfiction has just become more of a hobby for me. I can't apologise enough for the delay.
