The sun blinded her; she moaned and flapped her tail weakly. It felt as if her skin was slowly being boiled off, and it was. The young woman arched her back in an effort to give her lower back a rest from being severely burned against the black rock she was chained to.
"Please… Inuyasha help me"… Her voice was rough with dehydration.
Inuyasha's head shot up from the paper he was doodling on. Before he had realized it a cartoon version of Kagome had appeared in the center. But now he felt as if she was in severe danger, and Inuyasha had learned over the years that his instincts were always right. He snatched up his cell phone and hurriedly dialed Miroku.
"Yeah Miroku, call Sango and meet me at the docks, where my Father's boat is. It's an emergency"!
"Alright, we'll be there soon. I can tell you aren't kidding around"…
"Yeah, and one more thing, this means it's a big time emergency for sure"…
"What is it"?
"Bring the Flea bag".
Now as the Tanaka's boat speed along the white capped waves Sango and Miroku sat in confusion over what events were partaking. Koga and Inuyasha didn't seem as cut throat, they had a mutual agreement on being extremely worried.
A young guard of Kikyo's court watched her from the rock she was chained to. She resembled a wilted flower; her dark hair fell limp over her pale face as she tried to keep her mermaid form hydrated.
"Ms. Kagome"! He hissed, emerging from his hiding place. Her head lolled to the side, her lips pale and chapped, and her eyes dull she watched him.
"Please…. Please kill me"… The young palace guard swam over to her; his blue eyes were wide in a concern for the woman who hung as innocently as she did.
"My name is Jinenji, and I am here to free you". His hand trembled as he touched the metal holding her wrists.
"May I touch you"? He asked her, he did not want to offend this aristocratic woman. She nodded weakly, and Jinenji slid the key into its place, and turned. Instantly her left arm was free of shackles and part of her body dropped further into the water. Her back scraped against the gruff of the rock as she slid. Jinenji winced at her pain, and hurriedly released her other arm. Kagome sank to the bottom of the water and catacombs like a bag of bricks. She lay on the ocean floor, her dark hair drifted to the surface of the water, and her eyes closed. Jinenji quickly dove to join her at the bottom, he worriedly watched her.
"Thank you… Jinenji"… Her voice was heavy sounding beneath the water, as she struggled to regain her strength and stamina.
"It was no problem, even a pleasure. I'll get to tell my mother I assisted in saving the life of the second royal Mermaid priestess, the long lost Kagome. She'll be so proud! I can't wait to live under the kindness of your rule, Ms. Future Queen Kagome"… If only she'd heard him, but her body was hurrying to fix the damaged cells and repair her. The sun had hurt her in a way she'd never thought possible…
