~! Drowning ~!

Squalo Superbi, a shining knight in armor, who once saved a damsel in distress, Chrome Dokuro, from drowning in a deep dark whirlpool of death, backyard pool. What you don't think it's true? Well it did happen….just that no one was there to witness this heroic event!

"Stupid Vongola and their stupid pool party," Murmured a long silver haired man who was currently walking out of his room to get out of the Vongola mansion, which held his annoying teammates and rude boss. "Shitty boss not letting me relax…..stupid teammates annoying me all day long!"

You may be wondering why the Varia were inside the Vongola Mansion, well it's a long story, but to make it short it's simply because Tsuna had invited them for a pool party.

And Squalo was clearly still annoyed and angered by what had happened earlier that day. All he wanted to do was relax in the pool and even maybe swim for a bit….but no! There were too many distractions and way too many morons for him to handle. Like Dino and that Takeshi brat.

Now that everyone has fallen asleep he was sneaking outside to take a nice quite dip in the pool by himself. He didn't care that it was night time and that the water was probable freezing cold. He wanted to relax! Damn it!

"Voi! Now to swim in peace." He said as he took of his white shirt, only leaving him in his swimming trunks. (They had shark patterns ^-^)

He was about to inch closer to the empty pool but he stopped when he heard a noise to his left and begin the trained and elite assassin that he is, he hid.

He watched closely as a door opened and glared at the person who came out.

It was non-other then the female mist brat. Chrome Dokuro.

And she looked rather nervous.

'What is she doing this late at night?' He thought and then he suddenly remembered something about her earlier today.

! Earlier That Day!

"Come on Chrome-Chan," Called out the annoying girls.

"Ushishi, if you come in I'll lend you my floaty!" Bel said.

"I am not a floating device sempai..." Fran said as his frog hat being used by both Mammon and Bel.

"Chrome~Chan~ please come in, we all want to see you in your sexy swimsuit~" Lussuria bubbled.

"I….I….don't have a swimsuit…and I…..I burly ate…and….I have to finish something first, I'll come back later…"

"Awww…" They all said as she walked away.

~!~!~!~!~!~!

While everyone tried to get her inside the pool, she would politely and quietly refuse. And she never came back…..till now.

She walked over to the pool and looked at her surroundings. She gave out a sigh and began to take off her shirt and shorts. While this happened Squalo went red in his face and turned around quickly. 'W-What the hell! Why is she stripping!D-Don't tell me she is planning on skinny dipping!'

He then heard a splash of water. He took a deep breath and looked back. His face went red once more as he saw her in her swim attire, which consisted of a pineapple pattern. 'K-Kawaii….I…I mean…it looks good on her…..I mean….at le-least she's not n-naked….I mean….what the hell is she doing!'

He looked at her once more and noticed how she wasn't even fully in the pool. She was in the shallow end of the pool, slightly shivering. Her bottom half was in the water while her arms, chest and head were all dry.

"I…I c-can do this…" She spoke to herself, unknowing that Squalo had heard her. "I…j-just have to kick my legs and move my arms…and hold my breath…I c-can do this…"

She inhaled than exhaled, "One, two, t-three…." She jumped in the deep end of the pool.

Squalo waited for her to come back up from the water but as a minute passed he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. 'That girl! Why won't she come back up?'

He walked over to the pool and saw that she was kicking and trying to swim up but she couldn't. "Shit!"

Squalo dove in and swam to her. He grabbed her body and began to swim up. As he reached up he took a breath and looked at Chrome, she was violently coughing up the water that had managed to get in her mouth. She looked scared and as she finished her coughing fit she looked up and saw Squalo.

He looked at her and had a small blush on his face. "Y-You stupid girl….do you relies you almost drowned!"

"I…..I'm sorry…" She squeaked out and buried her face on his exposed and wet chest.

"V-Voi...don't do that…I…." He swam with her in his arm and made it to the edge of the pool. He placed her on the edge while he still was in the pool. "Are you okay?"

"I…I think so…..and t-thank you…for..." He then cut her off.

"If you can't swim why would you jump in the deep side?" he looked at her with an annoyed face.

"Oh…well…." Chrome stuttered out. "I saw the others and it looked….f-fairly easy…so I thought I could do it to..."

"SO why didn't you try and swim while they were all here in the morning."

"I…I thought I would embarrass myself in front of them…"

"And you thought you could try it alone while everyone was sleeping? You know if I wasn't here you would have drowned!" He gave her a stern look and caused Chrome to whimper.

"…..s-sorry…" She now had a pout on her face.

"D-Don't give me that face….Voi! Stop it!"

"I'm…s-sorry…" She started to tear up.

"Stop it girl!" Squalo had a hard time now as she was sniffling and had small tears on her face. "V-Voi! If you stop crying…t-then I'll teach you how to swim!"

"Y-You will?" She suddenly perked up.

"Y-Yes! Now stop it…"

"I…" She whipped her tears away with her now dry arm. "O-Okay." She let out a small smile.

'W-What did I just do? I offered her swimming lessons….VOII! I'm an idiot!"

"Ummm…. Thank you." Chrome bent down and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

Squalo backed away as her lips left his now burning skin. "You!"

"So,…w-when will the lessons start?" Chrome asked innocently, she didn't have a clue that Squalo was embarrassed. "I would…r-really like to learn very s-soon….if that not a bother for y-you.."

"W-We…start…." He was having a hard time on talking. "We start now!"

"O-Okay," She began to get in the pool with him, but she held onto the edge of the pool so she would not drown.

'So much for relaxing…..now I have to teach this girl how to swim….' He looked at her and saw how her ace now had a determined face. 'She really wants to learn that badly eh? Well…i-it's not like I wanted to do this….but what harm can it do…'

So on that day Squalo became a knight and a swimming teacher for Chrome Dokuro.{ And just to let you know….. he is still trying to teach her how to swim.}

Review?

A/N I can't swim either... I need Squalo as a sempai!
