As our heroin watched her friends fly off to safety she was mentally prepping herself for the trial ahead... 'This has gotten too repetitive lately. Why can't I just give her an I'm sorry fruit basket and be over with all this?'
Kagome took a deep breath before leaping into the deep end. Barely teen seconds later she was yet again face to face with th he Mistress of the Deep.
"So you actually came back." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Why wouldn't I? Have you ever known me to break my word?" If it wasn't for having to hold great breath she might have sighed.
"Are you ready for your punishment?"
"As I'll ever be. So what exactly is it you have planned this time?"
The demoness mearly chuckled, already having known this would be the outcome.
"Don't worry young one. This time I believe the punishment will be simple. All I want is to have some of that stretchy sweet stuff the child once dropped in our water. And by some I mean at least a barrel full."
...
...
'what?'
"You mean the taffy? That's what you want?... Weeeeellllllll I don't think my mother has that much... Give me till tomorrow night and I'll have it, ok?"
"Taffy. That stuff is just so sweet! Ever since I tried that first piece I've been craving it like land walkers crave air! Tomorrow night? Yes I can wait until then, but don't you be a second late! If you're not here by the time all light leaves the sky I will not hesitate to lay waste to that precious village of yours!"
Every moment the Deep mistress kept on babbling was another moment Kagome went without her much needed oxygen. With her lungs now on the brink of collapse the miko nodded vigorously, screaming in her head that she understood.
Without another second to think she kicked off of a well placed rock to try to get to dry land. She never thought the ascent would make her so light headed, but she barely managed to help down air while crawling to the grass, passing out but a few seconds later.
