CHLORINE. (Anyone who feels like it x3)

[Sara]

The Unmei Island Resort. Since Kara arrived there, she had been eyeing the totally humongous crystal blue waters of the semi-Olympic size Pool found at the back of the hotsprings. From her dorm balcony, she watched in astonishment how someone could resist its cleanliness. NO ONE HAD EVER GOT IN THERE. She began to wonder then, if someone actually knows it exists, or it isn't allowed to be penetrated by someone. Snapping out of the thoughts, she decided that she'll go in there, no matter what it takes. Kara wants, Kara gets.

So finally getting out of her bed, she grabbed her bag and threw everything she get a grab on that isn't what she needed. And then finally, her hands grabbed something that felt silky and rubbery-stretchy. She finally found her beloved bathing suit. It had been years since she wore this piece of garment after she quitted Swimming, so she wondered if it still fit her...and after a few minutes of taking off her clothes and stuff, she finally found out that it still does. The joy.

Taking a towel with her, she wrapped it around her waist and stepped out her room. She climbed down the stairs, grabbing her hair to a pony tail and went out the building door. She arrived at the foot of the beautiful beautiful pool and stopped at the smell of the wind flavored with chlorine--the very smell that fills her nose everytime she goes to her training grounds some years ago. Taking the towel off, she positioned herself at the foot of the pool. Still feeling the "chlorine-sensation" inside, she closed her eyed. She could almost imagine her coach's voice, that deep, dark annoyingly large voice that seemed to turn her sprits on whenever it spoke.

Take your mark...

Kara bent down to touch her toes, eyes focused on her goal, and mind concentrated on the stroke she was going to do.

HOP!

A gentle splash rose from the water as the girl dove down. Once Kara reached the pool's tiled floor, she pulled herself up, her legs kicking together at the same time the most powerful kick of all, the Fly kick. Once she reached the surface, her arms pulled at the same time as her body rose up of the water. After she got a good breath, she threw her arms back together again, head first diving into the water. With that, she executed a really beautiful Butterfly stroke, the hardest stroke a person could learn.

The half german, half japanese boy sat on his bunny-print tube as he floated across the cool water that was avaliable to this out of place pool. He'd only recently discovered it and thought 'Swim!'. Thus his reason to be in the water. He couldn't swim very well therefore, he had a tube to sit on. It was really, very enjoyable, especially on a warm day like this. He splashed the water at his hands , moving closer to the middle of the swimming pool. It was hard not to enjoy a pool, even if you could only barely swim.

The bathing shorts he wore seemed one or two sizes too large for the tiny boy but it didn't really matter. He was alone here after all. But if he was alone, why was the water becomming more wavy than it should be? Even if he was splashing around, there shouldn't be these many waves. To his horror, he saw something advancing towards him. The blonde boy squeezed his chocolate brown eyes shut and waited for the impact.

[Insert choice of collision sound here.]

Nao fell off the pink tube and plunged down into the deep water the pool had to offer. Well, this wasn't good. At only twelve years of age, he was going to die. Cause of death? Because he couldn't swim.

Another kick, another pull, another dive. This repeated for several times. Kara was halfway the pool when she felt something was blocking her way. Could it be that someone had finally discovered her means of being alone and secluded to practice the thing she loves doing most besides singing and drawing? As she got under the water, she she saw bubbles, and huge ones, as if something fell. Having no goggles at all, she didn't see everything clearly. And then...a strong weight got on her back as if something very heavy fell. It was fast, and it was certainly slippery. She was pulled down with it, making her stop and stand, but then, she realized that she couldn't. Her feet didn't reach the floor, and she knows the reason well.

Normally, an Olympic pool would be built with a floor that would have the "V" shape to it. From the depth she saw when she dove, she recon it was four feet at the begginning, and then it would go deeper six to seven feet at the middle, and this...is the middle.

Suddenly, the voice of her coach entered her mind. Once you close your eyes and stop concentrating, you'll be eating bubbles. Even in water, brains should be used, not just muscles

Concentrate. That's what she needs to do in this situation. When she opened her eyes, she saw a boy, sinking towards the floor, and he looked like he was helpless. Rolling her eyes mentally, Kara pulled herself to the surface, tumbled and pulled herself down towards the boy. She threw her arms around him and then pulled upwards to bring him up as hard as she could, kicking the water with her heels to get to the surface. Once they did, she lay down with her back on the water, placing the boy in front of her so he could catch air. He was heavy, and she couldn't stop from sinking into the waves but she managed to propell herself with flutter kicks westwards so both of them could get out of the pool.

Kara never thought she would be using the life-saving technique in the Academy THIS soon. This is just so great. One minute she's all comfy inside her room with the bliss feeling of being indulged in books, and then here she is, preventing some guy from drowning.

What. A. Day. She thought. And she was being sarcastic.
