Part 13: Perfectural 2.0 and Kisumi

~time skip~

[Name]'s POV

"Okay everyone gather round!" I call out to my team. Haru, Makoto, Nagisa, and Rei walk over to me while Gou changes the countdown on the sign. "Perfecturals are tomorrow so I need you all to get plenty of rest tonight. We'll meet at the venue tomorrow no later than 8 A.M, if you're late you'll be disqualified," I tell everyone and they nod their heads. "Good, now let's go over the schedule for tomorrow," I giggle before looking at Nagisa. "Nagisa! You're event is the 100-meter breaststroke. Rei! The 100-meter butterfly. Haru! The-" I start but the stoic male cuts me off "100 and 200-meter freestyle," he states and I smirk.

"Makoto! The 100-meter backstroke and the 200-meter freestyle. And finally you guys will participate in the relay the following day," I tell them and Rei stares at me. "What are your events?" he asks and I chuckle. "The 100 and 200-meter backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle, the 400-meter individual medley, and the 1500-meter freestyle which Gou signed me up for without my knowledge," I mutter while the rest deadpan and Gou smiles innocently. "Why are you complaining? We all know you can swim all those races without a problem," Makoto crosses his arms over his chest and stares at me with amusement. "Because that just means I have to put more effort in...I don't like effort," I anime cry while the guys facepalm.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Rei mumbles to himself. "Because it's [N/N]," Nagisa giggles and hooks an arm around my shoulders. "We believe in you [N/N]!" he grins and I look at him. "Thanks Nagisa," I smile at him making him blush. "But now I think it's a good time to practice and get ready for tomorrow so everyone warm-up and get into the pool," I state while sitting down on the ground to stretch out my legs. "Aye captain," Makoto mock salutes making me laugh and the guys sit down next to me and we begin to stretch as a team.

"I haven't been here since last summer," Nagisa smiles while staring at the arena we'll be swimming at. "Meanwhile, I was just here a few weeks ago for a competition," I sweatdrop and Haru looks down at me. "With your competitive swim team right?" he asks and I nod my head. Nagisa starts shaking in his spot and I send him a weird glance until fire fills his eyes "I'm getting all fired up!" he exclaims and I anime fall. "I didn't know Natsu was a swimmer," I mutter making my team sweatdrop.

"Hey you guys!" I hear a familiar voice call out. "Gou," I smile and we hug each other after I cross the street. "Glad to see you're all on time," she smiles at the guys and I. "As always, we'll be cheering hard for you all today," Coach Sasabe says from beside Gou. "It's definitely appreciated," I chuckle when a loud group of people saying good morning to someone catches my attention. I turn around and my eyes widen when I see a familiar red-haired swimmer "Holy fucking shit it's Sei!" I grin before dashing across the street, narrowly missing a moving car.

I'm too quick for anyone to notice me fast enough and I jump onto Seijuro's back. "SEI YOU'RE HERE! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" I cry out while keeping my arms wrapped around his neck so I don't fall. He stumbles forward slightly from my hug-tackle before gasping "[Name]! It's been a while, you've gotten every prettier," he winks over his shoulder at me while the four Samezuka swimmers in front of him cast a dark aura. "[N/N]! What about me?" Momo pouts and I send him a close-eyed smile. "Nice to see you too Momo. You three too, Ai, Rin and Sousuke," I chuckle and they smirk.

"I take it since you're here that you're going to be racing?" Seijuro cocks an eyebrow and I sweatdrop. "Nooooo I just came to stare longingly at the water," my voice drips with sarcasm and the guys deadpan. "What races are you swimming?" Sousuke asks and the others stare at me for my answer. "The 100 and 200-meter backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle, the 400-meter individual medley, and the 1500-meter freestyle courtesy of Gou," I tell them making Momo eyes widen. "Will she even be able to handle all those races?!" Momo freaks out slightly.
