From The Sea She Walks
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, but as any InuYasha fan I wish I did. :D
Chapter 1: From the Sea
The water was cool and perfect for the summer day; but Kagome wouldn't notice cause' she'd been in the water her hole life. Swimming and swimming; searching the ocean from top to bottom, seeing a blur of the sun and moon on the surface. Kagome wished for more than being able to communicate with fish and swim as fast as a race car; but as she loved this gifts she wished for them to be gone; but what she wished fro more to be gone was the scaly, purple-blue tail that was her legs.
"Get back hear!!" a voice yelled as Kagome wished and pushed to swim faster. The woven seaweed bag widely at her side, glancing back over her shoulder she saw the guard chasing after her. "Not in your life-time pops!!" she called wickedly after her; and swam quickly around a coral rock. "You return those sea-weed raps now!!" he yelled over to her fowling in pursuit; but she was no where to be seen. Not a floating ebony lock; nor her mischievous brown eyes. "Not a scale in sight," the guard grumbled.
TWO DAYS LATER
Kagome was wondering threw the market street; with a hood on when something caught her eye. A reward poster and it read; 'Dear mermaids and merman of Alantica. A thief about the age of 16 has stolen from your stores for two long, if anyone sees her you are to report to the head officer or guard if your area' then if gave a descriptions of Kagome and a very good pitcher of her. "Move!" an angry mid-wife growled shoving Kagome sharply, yanking off her green hood; mer-people around gasped at the young 16-yer-old that was Kagome. "Get the guards!" someone yelled over the mummer. "No lets, GET HER!!" another yelled. Kagome swam, and swam fast at that with a half-angry mob.
HOURES LATER
Kagome poked her head out of the coral cave and looked about; not an angry mer-person in sight, it was safe to get out. Swimming silently Kagome swam out. "Kags!!" a faint voice called, "Kagome!!"
"Tally! Is that you?" Kagome called back into the dark water,
"Yes! Where are you?" Tally asked,
"By the hide-out. Is anyone about?"
"No Kags," Tally answered as she came around the bend. Tally was a small clown fish; but she had a big hart and voice.
'The whole sea is talking about you," she said as she swam up in-front of her friend; Kagome raised a slender eyebrow, "Well maybe not the WHOLE Sea; but definitely this part." Tally said with a fishy giggle.
"Probably, an angry mob cased me all-the-way hear." Kagome said slurring the words a bit. "She has to be around hear," a near voice said,
"Shssss!" Hissed another, "she'll hear us and disappear again!"
"You have to leave," whispered Tally, "You're not safe hear!"
"But—"Kagome started,
"No buts!" bubbled Tally, "They will not leave you alone till they find you!" Kagome sighed and agreed, tomorrow she would leave and go to the land, the dreaded land is where Kagome would be safe.
ABOVE ON THE LAND
Sesshy's POV
"Sesshomaru! Hurry up!" InuYasha my little twit of a half-brother called over his shoulder. "This is not a race," I informed him; I smiled to myself as I saw an annoyed frown cross his annoying face. A twig snapped underneath my foot, 'this is a waste of time,' I growled to myself, 'stupid parents! Making me come on this stupid camping trip!' They had made me come along on my half-brother camping trip when I'd rather stay in my room playing my guitar! "Yo! InuYasha," A familiar voice called threw the manor of bushed trees and rocks, Miroku soon appeared, "Oh Sesshomaru I'd thought you would have stayed home playing' you guitar," he said,
"So did I!" said dryly, Miroku just gave a snorty laugh, "Who are we waiting for now?" I asked irritably,
"Just Sango and Kikio," InuYasha said as he moved to sit down on a bolder, I just gave a hum; in reply.
No soon after that the two girls arrived and we were son on our way looking for a camping spot. "Yo! Sesshy! Inu! You two can drop your sealing spells now!" Sango called from behind me. I just gave a brief nod and lifted my sealing spell. My hair turned from blond to silver, and grew to about half-way down my calves; a blue cresant moon appeared on my for-head, with two magenta stripes on my cheeks. My ears went pointed and my claws and fangs grew; then finally my silver tail unrolled from its confinements.
Taking a brief look over my shoulder, InuYasha had just taken off his rosary that acted as his sealing spell; he had silver hair like myself and two little dog-like ears on top of his head; he also had fangs and claws; and barely half of my power; what do you expect from a half breed.
Soon we had chosen a place. It had a decent size clearing, a river near by and cliff on one side. We had set up a fire and it was blazing with some fish already cooking, and our sleeping bags set up around it; mine a little away from my friends. Yes I called them my friends and indeed they where SOMEWHAT friends.
NORMALL POV
Kagome gave a heavy sigh, "I'll see you round. And remember as long as you are in the water you can reach me!" Tally said comforting.
"Why don't we change you into a mermaid and you can come with me!!" Kagome said hopefully, but was disappointed when Tally said, "No."
"Kagome this is what you have to do," Tally continued, "For your safety!" Kagome nodded with another sigh. "Now go. Go you stubborn fish!" Tally laughed, and so did Kagome; weakly. And Kagome swam off.
Kagome poked her head out threw the water's surface, the sun's rays where beating down on her. Looking over the waves that bobbed up and down she saw a beach with people playing volley ball, little kids playing in the shallows, and people sun-backing. All land people.
Traveling around pass the sand beach, and rocks and a reef she came upon another beach; much like the last one but with less land people on it. But Kagome also found an underground entrance to something; it was big hole-ish looking entrance. Under a hang over of rocks and coral. Kagome swallowed a nervous breath and swam into the unknown.
The tunnel went down at first but then took a rapid ascend. Kagome felt the water go from salt to fresh in a mater of meters. Kagome's dark haired head popped up out of the clear water, a beat and a swish of her tail and the soft sand went up in a small cloud.
'I've swam in land somehow.' Kagome commented to herself, looking at all the foreign plants and a bird in a near-by tree. Swimming upstream a bit, with her head above water she found a small looking beach. Somehow Kagome pulled herself ashore and out and far off from the water; a bit like a beached whale she was now.
Fifteen minuets later Kagome ad dried out and was struggling to stand on her very own two legs. She was using a tree to stable herself, when she looked down and saw she was wearing a simple Wight dress that brushed around her ankles. Kagome took a step and then another; away from the water. She took another step but her grip on the tree slipped and Kagome legs crumbled beneath her; and she screamed.
Everyone looked up from what they where doing as a scream reached their ears. "What was that?" Kikio asked,
"Not a clue!" Miroku said, "We better cheek it out!"
"Why?" InuYasha asked lazily from his sleeping bag,
"Cause' someone might be hurt!" Sango said sharply, InuYasha just Fhed' got up and began to walk toward the scream, seconds after the whole group was following.
Kagome hit the ground hard. The side of her head colliding with something making a painful explosion.
The gang walked onto a small looking beach; to see a girl with her head in the sand. You could see her hand s sake a little as she pushed her body off the ground and up. "Oh no are you ok?!" Sango partly yelled as she ran up and kneeled beside the strange girl. "InuYasha get the first aid kit! Now!" Kikio commanded quickly; and InuYasha was off back to camp; using his demon speed. He was back in about four seconds.
"Why do you need this?" InuYasha asked as he handed the small box to Miroku who handed it to Kikio who handed it to Sango who pulled out a cloth, some disincentive and two butterfly clips.
"What are you doing?" Kagome quickly said once she was aware of her surroundings; making a pathetic attempt to crawl away from the stranger. "Where helping you," the girl with a cloth inn her hand said calmly, "you're bleeding." Kagome rose a shaky hand to her throbbing temple, she barely touched it when she quickly drew her hand back and looked at the small amount of red liquid that stained her fingers."Wha---" Kagome started but then fainted.
Ok this is probably the longest chappy I've wrote so far. I hope you enjoyed it and all.
