Hinata raised his head as he looked at Masayoshi "And what's that supposed to mean?" He asked.

" If you don't mind can you come with me to my class? Your brother's there too," Masayoshi said. He knew there'd be a tiny possibility that Hinata might agree if Haruki convinced him.

" Okay" Hinata replied

" I know it's inconvenient but.... Wait, what! You agreed?!" Masayoshi said, not believing that Hinata replied him instantly. ' Well maybe he's not as cold on the inside' he thought.

Hinata followed Masayoshi out and they made their way to his class. They found Haruki, Asahi and Takahara waiting for them.

After settling Hinata down, Masayoshi began "So the HHCS is the swim club. Hiryu High Swimming Club. So HHCS for short."

" And?" Hinata replied, showing no interest

" We would like to recruit y...."

" No, not gonna happen," Hinata said, cutting him off.

" C'mon lil bro, it's a very good chance" Haruki chipped in but was replied with a death glare.

Nothing they said seemed to get to Hinata. " I'm not interested in partaking in any competitions, you know that already" he said.

" Well if you join in, you could get in the water anytime you want" a particular voice said after watching the unproductive persuasion.

Hinata looked like he was weighing his options, and after what seemed like hours he made up his decision. " Fine I'll join " he said flatly, and Haruki can't help but grin. It seems coming to Japan was not a waste of time afterall.

Masayoshi 's joy knew no bound. Their school might be a prestigious one, with lots of famous and successful clubs, but the swim club had not entered any tournament since the last five years where they lost drastically. Since then most students refrained from joining, little joined though, but the team was not strong enough to win competitions. They needed a strong anchor. The F4 decided to bring the club from nothing to something.

" So Asahi's the captain, I'm the team manager, and Takahara is the team coordinator. All the data needed will be provided by me" Masayoshi said, and Hinata hummed. He wasn't interested in their ranks as long as he could be in the water, anytime anywhere, and as long as he wished to. The so called captain suggested that in the first place.

" You'll be meeting with the rest of the members when school's over. Asahi, you bring him over." Masayoshi said.

After school, Asahi was already at the door waiting for Hinata.

" Hinata Asahi-senpai is here for you " Aoi said, her eyes beaming with something Hinata couldn't place. He ignored her and made his way to Asahi but he was stopped in his tracks.

" Why do you have to be so cold" Aoi said, her hands on Hinata's arm.

" Let go" he said and she flinched. But being the spoil brat she is, she refused to let go.

Hinata got mad and yanked her hand away with force. " I don't care if you're a girl, fucking touch me again and I'll render your hand useless " he said with a calm voice, and that made everyone present shudder. How can he say such things with a calm look. If he wore an angry express that'd have been understandable.

" Ladies shouldn't be treated like that you know?" Asahi asked as Hinata walked past him.

" What, feeling sorry for her? Why don't you go help her then?" He snapped back. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but hearing Asahi speak up for Aoi made him furious.

" I was just saying. No need to be angry okay? There's no....."

" I don't need any excuse. Quit talking to me like we know eachother" Hinata snapped cutting him off. And with that they went to the club in silence. ' I still have a long way to go uh?' Asahi thought.

Masayoshi waved his hand as he saw them from afar. " You guys are a bit late?"

" Just a little distraction" Asahi said.

" Welcome Hinata, now let me introduce you to these guys" Masayoshi said as he pointed at the eight people in a single file behind him.

" So this is Arata, Fuji, Kōji, Akio, Itsuki, Hanzō, Kaito and Riku. And guys this is our new member, Hinata Mitsuaki. I hope you guys get along and help each other." Masayoshi said. It was the first time Hinata saw a serious look on his face. But he couldn't care less.

" It's nice meeting you" they said in unison. Hinata hummed and made his way to the water. With the speed of lightening, his clothes were off his body leaving the blue swimsuit that hung on his body gracefully. He tied his hair in a ponytail and jumped into the water.

" Aha, so that'll be happening frequently" he said as he scratched his head and grinned like a fool.
