Chapter 3: Meet Rin and swim contest

Sakura woke up and saw that she was about to be late for school. She got up and ran to her brother's room. Sakura walked inside and smirked at her brother laying down in the bed face up. Sakura tip toed to her brother and right when she was about to scare him he jumped up and scared her making her grab her heart and breathing heavily.

''I can't believe you scared me.'' Said Sakura calming down.

''I know you not talking.'' Said Saramo ''You tried to scare me first''

''Let's not play the blame game.'' Said Sakura. Saramo smiled and went to stand in front of Sakura and poked her forehead like how Itachi would poke her's and Sasuke's. Sakura rubbed her forehead and smiled weakly remembering the first time Itachi did that to her.

''Hey come on don't start feeling sad come let's get ready for school.'' Said Saramo as he leaded Sakura to her room and left her to get dress. Saramo waited downstairs after he got dress and had a cereal bar in his hand. Sakura walked downstairs in her school uniform and Saramo threw her the cereal bar. Sakura spinned around and caught it then Saramo took another one off the counter and walked out the door with Sakura following him.

''You have everything for school today.'' Said Saramo. Sakura nodded her head and waited for her brother to lock the door. Then they walked to school instead of taking the motocycle.

At School

Sakura and Saramo went to thier homeroom where Saramo saw one of his teammates in basketball.

''Hi Saramo'' Said Juke (made up the person and the name.)

''Hi Juke'' Said Saramo. Juke stood in front of Saramo.

''I didn't know you were in this homeroom.'' Said Juke. Saramo smiled.

''Well i just got put in here.'' Said Saramo. Saramo then looked at Sakura out the corner of his eye. ''I want you to meet someone.'' Said Saramo then he pulled Sakura next to him. Juke looked at her with a shock in his eyes. Sakura just stared at him. Then Saramo came in front of them.

''Sakura this is Juke, Juke this is my sister Sakura.'' Juke held out his hand and Sakura shaked it.

''Nice to meet you.'' Said Juke

''A pleasure'' Said Sakura

''So wait are you guys twins?'' Sakura and Saramo nodded thier heads and Juke seemed to get even happier if possible.

''Wow i wish i had a twin sister that's as beauitful as her.'' Sakura looked down and blushed as Saramo tried to hide the anger on his face.

''Wow i umm i don't know what to say.'' Said Sakura

''No need'' Said Juke then he grabbed a rose from the indoor garden. ''These pale in conparison to your beauty.'' Sakura took the rose and smiled.

''Thank you'' Said Sakura. Saramo looked like he was about to kill Juke if looks can kill.

''Ouch'' Said Juke as Saramo had pinched him on his arm. ''What was that for.''

''Oh nothing'' Said Saramo with a smirk on his face. Sakura laughed at her brother then the teacher came in.

''Good morning class since we have new students Mrs. Mai said that we have the week off of learning but you will still need to come to school. Sakura, Saramo i hope you are liking your stay so far.'' Said the teacher Sakura and Saramo nodded the teacher smiled. Then they contuined thier conversation with Juke. after 3 hours Sakura and Saramo went to the lunch room to eat. Sakura saw the swim club eatting together Nagisa then saw Sakura and waved for her to come and eat with him. Sakura and Saramo walked over and sat down.

''Hi everyone'' Said Sakura

''Hi Saki how are you?'' Said Nagisa

''Good'' Said Sakura ''I would like you all to meet my brother Saramo, Saramo these are my friends and the swim club.'' Saramo smiled and shook everyone's hand.

''Man you two really do look alike.'' Said Makoto

''I know right it's so cool.'' Said Nagisa. Sakura and Saramo smiled.

''So which one of you is older?'' Asked Haruka

''I am'' Said Saramo ''Who are you anyway?''

''I'm Haruka Nanasa''

''So you were the one who came to get Sakura last night.'' Said Saramo. Haruka nodded then Rei shot up.

''I just remembered. Sakura we are having that contest today at 5 maybe your brother can swim too.'' Said Rei

''I might Sakura is the the one that swims in our family.'' Said Saramo.

Out of no where a boy with pink hair came in named Kisumi Shigino.

''Hi Haruka long time no see.'' Said Kisumi

''Hello Kisumi'' Said Haruka. Kisumi looked around the table and caught eye of Sakura and Saramo.

''Hello are you new students?'' Asked Kisumi Sakura and Saramo nodded.

''Cool what are your names?''

''My name is Sakura and this is my brother Saramo.'' Said Sakura while Saramo smiled at him.

''Good to know i haven't seen another person with pink hair before and i must say it looks real.'' Said Kisumi

''That's because it is.'' Said Saramo. Sakura can tell from Saramo's tone that he didn't like Kisumi from the looks of it. Kisumi smirked at Saramo and grabbed Sakura and pulled her close to him. Saramo glared at Kisumi. Kisumi saw this and pulled her closer Sakura looked annoyed.

''Listen Pink boy i'm not one of your hoes that you can get to strip for you any time you want.'' Said Sakura getting out of his grip. Kisumi Tightned his grip and pulled her so close that Sakura couldn't even move her hands. Sakura struggled to get out and he just got tighter and tighter then Sakura winced when he got to tight and stopped moving. Saramo got up slammed his hands on the table and walked over to Kisumi.

''Get your hands off my sister.'' Said Saramo as he lunged at Kisumi. Haruka, Makoto, Rei, and Nagisa had grabbed him. Sakura looked at her brother with worried eyes and looked back at Kisumi with a pissed off look. Kisumi saw this and smirked at her. Saramo was trying to get free from the swim team's grip.

''Let me go he has my sister you think i'm going to let that slide i'll rip his head off.'' Said Saramo

''Don't fight him Saramo maybe if we talk to him we can work it out.'' Said Rei

''I doubt it.'' Said Kisumi. Sakura stepped on his foot and got out of grip then ran away from Kisumi. Kisumi ran after her then the swim team letted Saramo go and he ran after Kisumi. Sakura stepped a side and ran behind Saramo while Kisumi stopped in his tracks when he saw a death glare looking at him from Saramo. Kisumi stepped back.

''I'm not scared of you'' Said Kisumi

''Then that mean you won't run away when i punch you in the face.'' Said Saramo. Kisumi had fear in his face as Sakura smirked at her brother. Sakura's phone rang and she picked it up.

''Hello'' Said Sakura

''Hi Saki it's me Itachi i wanted to see how you are doing.'' Said Itachi on the phone. Sakura started walking away and Kisumi ran after her again Sakura started running.

''Not good a boy is running after me.'' Said Sakura

''What where is Saramo?'' Said Itachi starting to sound worried.

''He's running after him.''

''Ok i wish i was there i would make sure he couldn't walk again.'' Said Itachi. Sakura smiled

''Thanks Itachi but i'm trying to run away sadly i can't fight him back.'' Said Sakura

''Why not?''

''I don't want to get exspelled on the second day i been going to this school.'' Said Sakura then she was tackled by Kisumi and dropped her phone. Itachi was screaming her name on the phone and Kisumi picked it up.

''Who is this?'' Said Kisumi

''This is Itachi what did you do with Sakura'' At this point Sasuke heard Itachi in his room and came in to hear the conversation.

''Oh nothing bad she's fine for now.'' Said Kisumi When out of no where a flying purse hit him. Itachi and Sasuke put the phone on speaker so they both can hear it.

''I'm tired of running away from you Kisumi'' Said Sakura ''I'll rip you to shreds'' Sakura jumped on Kisumi and was about to land a punch when Saramo grabbed her arm.

''What took you so long?'' Asked Sakura seeing Saramo out of breath and the swim club finally getting caught up.

''I went to get your friends.'' Said Saramo. Sakura held Kisumi by the shirt and grabbed her phone.

''I'll call you later'' Said Sakura then she hanged up the phone. Sakura then got up and her and Saramo looked down at Kisumi. When Mrs. Mai came in the hallway.

''What is going on class is over is 10 minutes.'' Said Mrs. Mai

''Kisumi tried to rape Sakura'' Said Saramo. Mrs. Mai looked at Kisumi and then back at the siblings.

''All of you come to my office.'' Said Mrs. Mai then all the students walked with her to her office. Soon everyone but Kisumi was let out and they walked outside the school.

''I'm sorry for that Sakura.'' Said Makoto

''I'm guessing you want to leave the school and go home huh.'' Said Nagisa.

''No'' Said Sakura causeing all the boys and her brother to look at her.

''It wasn't your guys fault so don't worry about it now i will see you guys later i have to get ready for the contest.'' Said Sakura then her and Saramo walked home. When they got home Sakura can see that Saramo wasn't feeling right.

''What's wrong?'' Asked Sakura

''I'm sorry'' Said Saramo. Sakura looked at Saramo with wide eyes.

''Sorry, for what?'' Asked Sakura

''Because i couldn't protect you.'' Said Saramo feeling tears in his eyes. ''I wanted to so bad but i couldn't you were getting man handled and i wanted to kill Kisumi for that. YOUR THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT AND I WANT TO PROTECT YOU WITH MY LIFE I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IF YOU ARE SAFE. Said/yelled Saramo tears fell from his eyes while Sakura stared shocked at her brother.

''I want to protect you'' Sakura looked at her brother with worry in her eyes then she walked towards her brother and hugged him.

''Saramo it's ok-''

''No it's not, Itachi can protect you Sasuke can protect you why can't i'' Said Saramo still crying Sakura moved Saramo's face to see it clearly.

''Listen it's ok we didn't know that was going to happen plus you did protected me. Kisumi had fear in his eyes when he saw how Serious you were.'' Said Sakura. Saramo wiped his eyes and smiled at his sister.

''Thanks Sakura'' Said Saramo

''No problem'' Said Sakura then she walked into her room to get ready for the contest. Saramo stared at Sakura then started to walk to his room.

''Hi Sakura i'm going to do it to but you will do the last event.'' Said Saramo as he found his swim shorts and started getting his bag together.

''Ok'' Said Sakura still getting her stuff ready for the contest. Once they were ready they went to the pool to see Haruka and the gang.

''Hi'' Said Sakura

''Hi'' Said the boys

''Are you ready?'' Asked Haruka

''Yeah i just have to use the bathroom i'll be back soon.'' Said Sakura then she setted her bag on the bench.

''I'm going to go take a seat with the rest of the people'' Said Saramo

''Can you take my siblings with you?'' Asked Makoto. Saramo nodded and went with the kids to find a seat. 5 minutes later the team they were going against came.

''Hi guys'' Said a red headed boy

''Hi Rin how you doing?'' Said Nagisa

''Pretty good, Do you guys remember Sousuke.'' Said Rin motioning Sousuke to step forward. Sousuke and Haruka stared at each other for a while untill Momo screamed.

''RIN'' Yelled Momo. Everyone looked at him and a gray haired boy next to him.

''You said there would be cute girls here.'' Said Momo

''Will you wait awhile geez.'' Said Rin putting his hand on his forehead. ''So which one of you guys are doing the twisted leg stroke Sousuke is doing 2.''

''Actually we have-''

''Sorry i'm late'' Said Sakura running up to the swim club cutting off Rei.

''What happened?'' Asked Makoto

''I lost my way to the girls bathroom.'' Said Sakura laughing at herself. Sakura then noticed more people.

''You came just in time Saki we were just about to tell Rin who is doing the twisted leg stroke.'' Said Nagisa

''Oh'' Said Sakura then she looked up and saw 4 different boys.

''This is Sakura Haruno she is a new student that came yesterday and she know the twisted leg stroke and she's really good at it.'' Said Nagisa dragging Sakura infront of Rin and his club.

''Well nice to meet you my name is Rin and this is-''

''Hi I'm Momo at least you can call me that.'' Said Momo smiing.

''Ok i'll call you Momo then'' Said Sakura giving him her signature smile.

''I like you so what's your favorite color what's your favorite food i want to know more about you tell me everything i can wait.'' Said Momo. Sakura's sweat dropped and Rin saw how uncomfortable she looked and put Momo in a headlock.

''Oww why do you abuse me.'' Said Momo. Sakura laughed.

''Go get ready guys i will finish up here.'' Said Rin the only one that stayed was Sousuke.

''I'm sorry about that.'' Said Rin

''It's ok'' Said Sakura

''Let me start over I'm Rin and this is my best friend Sousuke.'' Said Rin. Sakura looked at Sousuke and looked down tears were forming in her eyes. The boys looked worried.

''Are you alright?'' Asked Sousuke

''Was it something i said?'' Asked Rin

''No i'm fine honest'' Said Sakura looking up flashing a fake smile. The boys still looked worried for thier friend then they heard something about the first event.

''We better get going'' Said Sakura trying to change the subject Rin wanted to know what was up with her but he would save it for a different time. Sakura and the boys went to the bleachers to watch the kids and other people swim. Sakura kept looking down with sad eyes at her knees Rin looked at her and kept wondering if he should ask what's wrong. Soon before they knew it it was thier turn for the final race. Sakura was waiting for her turn in the water as she saw Haruka swim against Sousuke she had tears forming in her eyes. Rin was about to walk over to her when Haruka came back and Sakura jumped in the pool to swim against Sousuke. Rin looked as she went as fast as light speed doing the twisted leg stroke not slowing down for nothing. When Sakura came back after her win the boys cheered for her and she smiled but Rin could tell it was fake. Sakura then changed her clothes and walked home without Saramo. Rin and Sousuke walked up to Haruka and the gang to talk to them.

''Hi where did that girl go?'' Asked Sousuke

''We don't know she just walked off.'' Said Rei

''Hopefully she will be ok'' Said Makoto

''I want to talk to her do you know where she can be?'' Asked Rin talking to the Iwatobi high school swim club.

''You can talk to her brother Saramo.'' Said Nagisa

''Funny i thought she was related to Kisumi anyway where is Saramo?'' Asked Rin

''I'm right here'' Said Saramo as he walked up to the swim club with Makoto's little siblings. ''Where's Sakura?"

''She left she was feeling sad i don't know why'' Said Sousuke. Saramo nodded his head

''I'm going to look for her'' Said Saramo

''I'm coming too" Said Rin. Saramo nodded again and they went to find Sakura. After 2 hours Saramo finally remembered he had a phone and called Sakura. The phone buzzed 3 times before he heard it stop he put it on speaker so he and Rin can hear. They didn't hear a thing then they heard a crying and a winpering hello.

''Sakura are you ok, Where are you?'' Asked Saramo

''Yeah i'm fine i'm just laying down'' Said Sakura

''Alright i'll be home soon.'' Said Saramo then he hung up the phone. ''We better get to my house'' Rin nodded his head and they ran to the house.

At the house Saramo quickly unlocked the door and yelled for Sakura to come downstairs. Sakura walked downstairs in shorts and a half shirt with her slippers on.

''Yes'' Said Sakura

''Are you alright?'' Asked Saramo

''I'm fine i just need to rest.'' Said Sakura

''Are you sure?'' Sakura looked to the side next to Saramo and saw Rin.

''Yeah'' Sakura walked towards the boys. ''Why?''

''No reason'' Said Saramo ''I'm going to go and get dinner from a place and tell the boys your alright. Rin can you stay here with Sakura i don't want her to feel lonely.'' Rin nodded and Saramo then walked out the door and hopped on his motocycle to go get the food and talk to the swim club. Leaving Sakura and Rin alone.

''Make yourself at home'' Said Sakura then she walked to her room. Rin stared at her as she walked away then followed her. When Rin walked to her door Sakura was sitting on her bed she then noticed Rin and looked up.

''Is there something you need?'' Asked Sakura

''Yeah, I saw you crying before you went in the pool during the race.'' Said Rin. Sakura looked shocked then she felt blurryness in her eyes and couldn't see. She than tried to blink a couple of times to get rid of them but it was hopeless more was coming . Rin saw this and walked towards her and sat next to her on the bed.

''Tell me what is wrong'' Said Rin. Sakura wiped away her tears and started talking.

''When i was little it was me, Saramo,and my two best friends. Thier names was Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha the reason i started crying and feeling down was because your friend Sousuke's name sounded alot like Sasuke's and i couldn't help but feel bad. I'm sorry i didn't tell you before but i just had to cry i mean i knew him since birth and it hurt me to hear his name and think of how much i miss him. My parents died when i was 4 Sasuke and Itachi was always there for me when i needed it so going to the new school was tough. I don't really talk about my parents but i have a feeling that i can trust you. When it's time i will tell the boys if Saramo doesn't tell them first. You can tell Sousuke but that's it please don't tell no one else but him.'' Said Sakura letting her tears fall. Rin looked at Sakura with wide eyes that soon turned into soft eyes.

''I'm sorry i didn't know and I'm sorry that you had to leave your friend Sasuke and lost your parents but we are your family now and you had us all worried including Sousuke. So please if you need to talk to someone then come to me i will try and help you the best i can.'' Said Rin. Sakura looked at him and hugged him.

''Thank you'' Said Sakura as she let go

''Your welcome'' Said Rin ''By the way you were amazing at the twisted leg stroke what other strokes do you know.''

''Well i know them all but i can only do the twisted leg stroke.'' Said Sakura

''Well then maybe i can help you'' Said Rin

''How is that?'' Asked Sakura turning to face Rin.

''I can train you and help you with the other strokes after school and on the weekends.'' Said Rin

''Really'' Said Sakura. Rin smiled and nodded his head.

''Cool that really means alot to me.'' Said Sakura. ''Let's go downstairs and wait for Saramo to come back.'' Sakura then grabbed Rin's hand and ran downstairs with him.

''Man your fast.'' Said Rin. Sakura smiled then right on time Saramo came back in with food.

''Hi guys i'm back let's eat'' Said Saramo then Sakura and Rin went to the kitchen to help Saramo with the food. During dinner they laughed, told jokes, and Talked about thier sport.

Sakura walked upstairs after dinner but not before hugging Saramo and Rin. Once Sakura was in her room Saramo turned to face Rin.

''I don't know what you did to get her happy again but i thank you for it'' Said Saramo

''It was no problem'' Said Rin then he got his phone out and gave Saramo his number and Saramo gave him his and Sakura's number.

''I will remember to put your number in her phone.'' Said Saramo. Rin nodded and walked to the door.

''Again thanks and if you want to come hang out or visit then our house is your house.'' Said Saramo

''I'll remember that i will see you soon tell Sakura i will text her tomorrow.'' Said Rin. Saramo nodded

''I'll remember that'' Said Saramo then he locked the door and walked upstairs to see Sakura. He went inside her room.

''Hey sis'' Said Saramo

''Hi'' Said Sakura

''I just have to put Rin's phone number in your phone.'' Said Saramo

''Ok'' Said Sakura then she grabbed her phone and gave it to Saramo then he put the number in. He then kissed his sister's forehead and went out the room.

''Good night sis'' Said Saramo

''Good night'' Said Sakura. Then her door closed Sakura turned to her side and faced her window looking out of it.

''I thought i would hate going to this school but i love it. Rin, Haruka, Nagisa, Makoto, Rei...I promise to protect you. Saramo i promise that i will protect you as well i won't let my emotions keep my friends worrying about me anymore.'' Said Sakura to herself then she placed a hand on her heart.

''I love you guys''
