Disclaimer: Not even under the sea, do I own Inuyasha . . . damn . . .
AN: The second story in the series entitled Inu Tales (I'm writing them simultaneously). This is the Little Mer-Kag (lol can you guess which fairy tale?). Of course, I have added my own twist, it is in modern times, and I intend to give it another twist forthcoming the end. So read, review, and enjoy! (Not necessarily in that order)
There has always been division. Man and woman, cold and hot, real and unreal. Perhaps the most obvious of these divisions is that of land and sea. This is something that you are witness to everyday, whether you realize it or not. Long ago the tales of pirates and dashing swordsmen and princes were not tales. Long ago people saw fairies and elves in the everlasting beauty of nature. Long ago, people believed in mermaids, who is to say, however, that just because it was long ago, it doesn't exist today?

A Little Mermaid Story
Prologue
Division
She swam, swiftly and fluidly through the cool water. Her long dark cloud of hair flowing behind her gracefully. She stopped abruptly. Looking around slyly she popped her head over the brink of the division. Looking around she could easily see the industrial city that her ocean lay beside. She could be witness to the smog that fluttered above the city almost tauntingly. She was about to swim closer to shore when she heard the surprised gasp of her best friend, Shippou. Dunking her head back into the water he glared at the young mermaid. Crossing her arms over her chest she asked.
"What was that for?"
Her tone changed however when she caught sight of Shippou's serious expression, the fear in his eyes said it all, her mother was looking for her, and she swam as fast as the swiftest current, towards her home, Atlantica.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* On The Shore *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Young master Inuyasha!"
The white haired teen looked over his shoulder with a wince. His keeper, Myouga, had found him, which wasn't surprising since he always hid in the same spot. Staring out into the crystal clear ocean he had found a sense of peace and serenity overtake him. That is, until he noticed the black speck that seemed so far off from land, he had just been off to investigate it when it had disappeared. Now, the young boy was sitting on the seashore, far away from the industrialist buildings, most of which his father owned.
"Your father wishes to speak with you Master Inuyasha."
"Tell him I'll be there soon Myouga."
"Staring off looking for mermaids again Master Inuyasha?"
"Are you taunting me Myouga?"
"You have to learn, Master Inuyasha, to make the division, between land and sea."
"My mother loved the ocean, why can't I?"
"Your mother drowned, her love of the ocean was her demise, now, let's go home."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* On The Sea *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Strictly forbidden to go anywhere near the shore, why then, after so many times, do you put your people in danger, Kagome?"
" I was just peeking, no one saw me."
"How do you know that no one saw you Kagome? You have to learn to respect the division between land and sea! You can't go off frolicking. You'll end up in a net."
" I want to be there, just one day!"
"Kagome, go to your room, right now!"
"It isn't fair!"
"GO!"
AN: They were both OOC I know, they'll go back to their normal selves in later chapters. But there will not be any later chapters if you don't review . . . so review! (And don't forget to leave your email addy)
