Now that I have bored you with all of my big words, here is the story!
~*~*~*~*~*~
Chapter 1
The next day . . .
InuYasha breathed in the sweet scent of the morning. Though it wasn't the morning itself that was sweet, it wasn't the flowers or the fresh air, or even the breakfast cooking in the hut. No; it was the sweet and wonderfully intoxicating scent of the girl he cared about so much, that he would even die for her.
Kagome. He looked down from his perch in a tree to see her approaching him; she wore a worried look on her face.
"InuYasha?" she called.
"What?" he demanded in false annoyance, closing his eyes again.
Kagome shifted her feet, giving him an even more worried look.
"InuYasha, you should come inside and rest. You're injuries haven't fully healed yet and we should check if you need your bandages changed."
"Feh, I don't need 'em. I'm fully healed already!"
Kagome faltered, but decided to trust him.
"All right," she said, a little unconvinced, "Well, breakfast is almost ready, come down soon if you want some."
"Yeah." He stated as she walked away. Once her footsteps became a little softer, he opened his eyes to watch her walk back to the village. The truth was that he his wounds really hadn't healed. Kaede had changed his bandages earlier that morning, and InuYasha didn't want Kagome worrying any more then she had already been.
~*~*~*~*~*~
A few miles away, a young woman was tending to the wounds of some injured soldiers. They thanked her immensely and she replied with a warm smile and kind words. She walked over to a nearby stream and started washing the dirty bandages when she suddenly sensed something.
'InuYasha . . . I thought you were dead . . .'
~*~*~*~*~*~
InuYasha and the gang headed out the next morning (InuYasha's injuries had healed almost completely) in the direction that Kagome had sensed a jewel fragment.
They ended up in a swamp area.
"Are you sure this is the place Kagome?" InuYasha demanded, annoyed.
Kagome nodded and fingered her bow; she had a very bad feeling about all of this.
They decided to split up; Miroku, Sango (Kirara of course), and Shippo; Kagome and InuYasha. After about five minutes, Kagome started to get very nervous.
"InuYasha, this is really starting to creep me out . . ."
"Just keep an eye out for that shard." He replied harshly, though his senses had automatically sharpened at her worried voice.
Unknown to them, the water in the bog beside them bubbled a little more than usual.
Kagome got the shivers again and hurried to catch up to InuYasha. No sooner had she stepped forward, a large, slimy green tentacle shot out of the murky water and grabbed InuYasha's ankle.
"What the-!"
It pulled him into the water, causing him to drop his Tetsusaiga.
"InuYasha!!!" Kagome cried, pulling out an arrow from her quiver and stringing her bow.
InuYasha struggled to get free of the disgusting things around his leg, but the more he moved the further the tentacle moved up his body, tightening as it went along.
Soon he wasn't able to feel his left leg.
'Damn! How do I get out of this one?!' he thought frantically.
He swiped the tentacle with his claws and made a fast break for the surface.
He broke the surface of the water, his white hair tainted with green algae.
Kagome's heart lifted slightly, he was all right.
For now.
InuYasha could feel the creature coming back for another round, and yelled to shore.
"Kagome! Throw me the Tetsusaiga!!!"
Kagome scrambled forward and picked up his sword, which was right by the water's edge. No sooner had she touched the hilt another slimy green tentacle wrapped around her arm and dragged her under. She barely got the chance to gasp a breath before she was pulled into the murky depths.
"KAGOME!!!"
InuYasha swam frantically to where he had last seen her, but was soon pulled under as well. He chanced to open his eyes this time and found that he could actually see. He tried to find the source of the tentacles but it was lost in the abyss of muck.
'I have to help Kagome!' He thought, 'She can't hold her breath as long as I can!'
He slashed at his captor, but no quicker had he done so, another two grab him again, this time around his middle, pinning his arms to his sides.
Kagome had lost her bow and quiver on the shore when the creature had dragged her under, but she still had hold of the Tetsusaiga. She gripped tighter as she struggled against the faceless monster that she was prisoner too.
'I can't hold my breath much longer!'
Then she opened her eyes for a brief second and found that she could see fairly well. She glanced to her left and saw InuYasha, who wasn't much better off as she.
'InuYasha!!!'
The Tetsusaiga, seeming to have heard their thoughts, began to pulse. It glowed a brilliant white light and before she knew what was happening she was freed from the creature's ever tightening grasp. Just in time too because she had just run out of air! She scrambled to the surface, gulped down a couple lungs full of air, and dove back under.
InuYasha heart lightened when he saw that Kagome was safe. But he too was running out of air; his vision became blurry, his mind swam and his will to stay awake lessened greatly. Suddenly he felt someone close to him, he opened his eyes and found Kagome was next to him. She stabbed the tentacle with the Tetsusaiga and it relinquished its grip. Kagome grabbed the half conscious hanyou and struggled to pull him to the life giving oxygen. They broke the surface of the swamp and InuYasha gagged up half of it, which had made its way into his lungs. As they made their way to the shore Kagome made sure InuYasha took hold of the sword, so she could use her other arm. They staggered onto the bank and collapsed, Kagome underneath InuYasha's arm.
"InuYasha! InuYasha! Can you hear me?"
She turned the hanyou over as he lay there panting. Though she hadn't noticed, but so was she.
"InuYasha-!"
"I'm okay Kagome." He replied in a weak voice, his eyes still closed.
Kagome shot a nervous glance over her shoulder, and saw what she thought she had seen before. She turned her attention back to InuYasha,
"InuYasha, that-that thing has a jewel shard." She informed him, shivering slightly. He sat up, having gotten sufficient air, and gripped the Tetsusaiga tighter.
"It does, does it?" he smirked, "well, we'll have to do something about that, won't we?" he stood up shakily and coughed slightly.
"Kagome, I want you stay back, okay?"
She nodded and scooped up her weapons. She moved several yards back and watched as InuYasha faced the murky water of the bog.
He felt his strength quickly return to him.
"Come out and fight me like a real demon, you coward!!!" he yelled in a growl.
The surface of the water bubbled and InuYasha tensed. A giant octopus emerged from the water; it was almost the size of the whole swamp!
Kagome gasped; InuYasha smirked; Tetsusaiga transformed.
"Now that's more like it!"
