I stood next to Rin at his fathers grave.

"You didn't have to come you know." He said to me.

"I know, I just want to pay my respects." I said to him, looking him in the eye. He have me a whole hearted smile.

"Let's go." Rin said.

"Aye sir!" I said jumping up in the air.

-----------

When we got there I got ready for my freestyle. Rin said he had to meet someone. I was guessing it was Haruka.

I didn't follow him because I had to get ready for my race. I was sitting on the bleachers with my swimsuit ready to go, so I could run down as soon as Rin had won his race.

I had faith that Rin would win his trace against Haruka. Them maybe he wouldn't be as grumpy all of the time. I watched Rin and Haruka step up into the blocks.

"Ready." The announcer said.

"Set."

"Go!"

Then everyone went flying off the blocks and diving into the water. Haruka was having a slight lead on Rin but I knew Rin could close the gap. Now he is pulling ahead of Haruka. Now they were entering the turn.

"Go Rin Go! Beat him!" I yelled. Rin made it off the wall before Haruka did and was in the lead. But Haruka was catching up. I could hear familiar voices shout for Haruka to win.

I looked over and saw the Iwatobi swim club. I couldn't worry about them now. I had to see Rin win.

"Go Rin!" I shouted

"Go Sempai!" Nitori yelled besides me. They then got to the wall. Rin won!

"Rin! You did it!" I yelled.

"Way to go Sempai!" Nitori yelled. Rin looked over to us and gave us a big smile. I waved at him in return. I looks over and saw Rin also advanced!

"Yes!" Rin shouted.

"Way to go, Matsuoka!" The whole team shouted including me. Rin then was standing infront of Haruka. I couldn't tell what he was saying. But Haruka looks shocked.

I then got off of the bleachers and went down for my event. I was in the last heat of all of my events and in the end lanes.

That put me at a slight disadvantage because of the waves, but that didn't bother me at all. Because I knew I was fast, that's all the confidence I needed.

I waited for my heat to come up. People had pretty fast times, But all of them were below my best.

My heat was up then. I hopped on the block and put my goggles over my eyes.

"Ready." The announcer said.

I positioned my feet.

"Set."

I got into my position for my dive.

"Go!"

I then dived into the friged water. I used my dolphin kick to get as far as I could under the water.

I then felt water get off my back as I broke the surface.

"Swim Hibiki!" I could hear my teammates cheer for me. I went faster.

"Go Hibiki!" I heard a familiar voice say. It was Rin. I went even faster.

"Go, go go go go go Hibiki!" I heard familiar voices cheer.

But, why were they cheering? I wasn't even on their team anymore. But, for some reason. It made me want to go faster.

I flipped off of the wall and made my way down the pool again, going as fast as I can.

The wall was getting closer and closer. I couldn't see anyone infront of me. I then touched the wall an popped up, taking a breath.

I looked up at the board and saw I had gotten first.

"Yes!" I said jumping in the water as everyone else finished Then it shows that I had the fastest time out of everybody.

How was that even possible?

I couldn't have been that fast. Couldn't I?
