I'm working in the pool today. I get to roam around the place all day in my swimming trunks. I prefer walking around than sitting on that seat up there only to get buttsores. Perhaps, walking around and checking on everybody at the pool gets me up-close to all those hot girls in bathing suits. The pool is crowded today because it's a weekend. I walked around easily and peacefully, seeing to it that everyone is having fun. I saw a boy on his father's shoulders with his mother walking beside them; I smiled with a tint of bitterness. I have a vague memory of me being in that boy's place in this very same pool along with my parents, but it was so vague that I'm likely to lose it within a minute because, just like Papa, I have a very short-term memory.

"You'd learn how to swim with this immediately." I heard a familiar voice say.

I turned to the direction of the voice and saw Arashi together with Sora and another girl who was laughing as Arashi explained some scientific laws about buoyancy to them.

"Oy, Amaya, this is not something to laugh at!" Arashi told the other girl.

"Haha. Sorry. You see, we're in the pool, wouldn't she learn more quickly if she just practices?" the girl named Amaya said.

Sora spotted me and ran over to me. "A-ahno," she said, "I forgot to thank you yesterday."

"It's nothing." I replied.

"Hahi! Aren't you the boy from yesterday? Are you following us?" Arashi asked when he saw me.

"It's normal for me to be here, I work as a lifeguard n this pool." I said.

"Wow! You're a lifeguard?" the girl called Amaya said upon hearing me, "Maybe you can teach Sora how to swim. She would not learn from me and she's not likely to learn from Arashi's scientific laws."

"She'll learn with my method, you'll see!" Arashi told Amaya.

"You don't know how to swim?" I asked Sora.

Sora shook her head.

"All right, I'll teach you." I waded into the pool. "Just do what I do, okay?" I held the wall of the pool and let my torso and legs float on the water.

Sora waded into the pool too and held the wall but it seemed that she cannot assume the same position I am in right now.

"Stretch your arms." I said gently and she did so. "Now, relax your body and let your stomach float on the water."

Sora did as how I told her.

"Good. Now, paddle your feet so that you'd keep on floating, not too strong but not too weak, just relax." I instructed her and paddled my feet too.

Sora was an obedient student but I noticed that she was holding her breath.

"No, don't hold your breath, just relax and breathe calmly."

She breathed normally.

"Keep on doing that." I said and let go of my grip on the pool's wall then stood on the pool's floor with the water touching my chin.

I could see Arashi and Amaya were watching us as I taught their friend.

I stretched my arm below Sora's belly. "Now, let go of the wall. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Sora pulled herself away from the wall of the pool.

"Good. Now, you know what to do with your hands, don't you?"

Sora dug her hands in and out of the water.

"That's great. Keep on paddling your feet while doing it, okay?"

"O-okay." She replied. Sora moved forward. "I-I'm swimming! I can't believe it!" She said excitedly.

"Yes, that's it. But remember, always relax and don't force your legs and arms to do it fast. You're in water and water makes you tire easily, and if you get tired in the middle of it, you'll drown." I said as I followed her with my arms still beneath her stomach if ever she drowns.

"Okay."

I withdrew my arms and said, "Now, swim."

Sora kept on swimming forward on the water while bearing in mind the things I told her.

"That's one nice teaching out there." Amaya told me as I went out of the water.

"I must admit that Sora indeed learned fast with you." Arashi said.

"Thanks." Was all I could say.

This time, Sora has returned to us after swimming on her own.

"That was great, thank you." She told me.

"Oh, don't mention it, that's part of my job to ensure that nobody drowns here." I said. "Anyway, can you guys spare a moment; I've got to tell you something extremely important."

Sora, Arashi and Amaya followed me to an area in the pool where I am sure that nobody else can hear us.

"Now," I said, turning to them, "Are you the next generation members of the Vongola family?"

All three looked surprised.

"Yes, we are, and some other kids out there." Arashi replied.

I nodded. "Another family seeks you all and when they find you, they would kill you." I explained briskly.

"What did you say?" Amaya said.

"An opposing family is currently looking for the next generation members of the Vongola Family in order to kill them. Now that I know you're next generation Vongola, I must warn you to always be on your guard."

"What? How could we even trust you when you are a complete stranger to us?" Arashi yelled at me.

"Can't you just appreciate the fact that I'm doing something good for your sake?" I yelled back, offended that my goodwill was doubted.

A tension has broken between Arashi and me.

Then suddenly, Sora stepped in between.

"Hold on a sec, Arashi." She told the boy. "Could you…" she turned to me, "Could you be my cousin, Sasagawa Yuu?"

Author's note:

Amaya means night rain, just so you know.

Oh yeah, that new word again, 'buttsores'. You know what I mean right? You don't? Well, what a bummer, I'm not good at explaining such obvious things. Buttsore means the aching of your buttocks due to sitting for a long time, that's why I never ever sit for more than two hours. You could even catch me standing in front of my computer while typing. lol

Mmkei, our Yuu taught swimming in this chapter! So, you guys who don't know how to swim yet, better follow his instructions, okay. I don't know if this will work for you but that was how I taught my cousin how to swim. Yeah, I got to teach my cousin too in real life.

Ne, I really enjoyed that episode where everybody tried to teach Tsuna how to swim. I could remember the younger me in Ryohei, I would move and move my body underwater for hours and find out that I'm still in the same spot. XD

Are you enjoying it? REVIEW!
