Chapter 3
The Lake Deamons Wrath
"Oi!" I yelled angrily. "Put me down Inuyasha!" I kicked and wriggled. I had no choice, so I bit him.
"HEY!" he yelled dropping me. I scrambled to my feet, and leaped onto Sango's shoulders.
"Inuyasha, why do you tease him?" she asked patting my head.
"Cause I can!" he answered rubbing his hand. "The little weasel bit me!" I stuck my tongue at him and hopped off Sango.
~*~ I yawned, and looked up at Kagome.
"Can we stop to get some sleep now?" I asked rubbing my eyes. She picked me up, talking in a soft voice.
"We'll find a place to sleep in a minute, first we."
"Kagome? Why did we stop?" I asked opening my eyes. We stood near the sandy banks of a huge lake. Inuyasha mumbled to himself.
"We can't stay here, there are too many deamons about."
"Oh Inuyasha, you don't want us to get hurt!" she smiled at him still cradling me in her arms.
"No! I don't, umm, want the shard stolen." he answered turning away. Guess he was hiding a blush. Miroku came up from behind us.
"Guess we'll have to build a raft, to get across and camp over there." He said pointing to the thick trees and then across the lake.
"Humph! I can just jump it!" Inuyasha said.
"Oh Inuyasha! You can't jump that!" argued Sango. To prove he could he got ready to leap. He pushed off the ground and put one knee higher than the other. His sliver hair flew behind him and his red kimono blew in the wind. He was starting to decline, and we looked back at us, sticking his tongue out. SPLASH!! He had not gotten far enough to get to the land, and had fallen face first into the water. He rose to the surface sputtering and coughing. He didn't enjoy it when we laughed at him. So he crawled out and sat on the bank.
"Kagome! He's not gonna help make the raft with us!" I started to sob. I don't usually do this but I need sleep and I didn't want to work. She set me down.
"Go sit over there Shippo. We'll come and get you when we're done." I walked over to a rock, sat down and closed my eyes.
~*~ I awoke next to Sango, yet it was still dark. I nudged her.
"Sango, where are we?" she turned around rubbing her eyes.
"Huh? Oh, we found more deamons and the other side so we're sleeping on the raft. Now go back to sleep." She turned back over closer to Miroku. I yawned and fell asleep too. I awoke again to be tossed around on the raft. It was morning and Inuyasha was still asleep. Kagome came and sat be side me.
"Here have some bread." She handed me a piece.
"Why are we rocking so much?" I asked.
"I don't know." She said giving a confused look out on to the waves. "Lakes don't usually conjure up such force." As she said this, Inuyasha leaped off the main pole. The sail waved about thrashing in the air.
"OK, this lake is messed!" he said. Suddenly the waves began to grow and tiny whirlpools began to form! I dropped my half eaten bread when I saw her; she had risen from a huge wave that stood upright. She had slimy blue skin with two green gills coming from out of the side of her head. Her eyes were white like pearls and her sea weedy hair thrashed around. It was a lake deamon.
"How dare you insult me after I let you sleep in my lake!" she boomed, her eyes flaring and her red lipstick burned. She paused, looking at Sango.
"And this must be Kagome, she has the shards does she not?" she smiled wickedly, and the waves began to grow. "No.she will not have them," she looked at Inuyasha and then Sango. "I WILL!" With that she plunged a wave at the tiny raft! It plummeted underwater, smashing into pieces. The rush of water filled my mouth. I thrashed around trying to find the surface. I was starting to see red and black spots. My lungs were dying for air. I kicked once more, only to lose consciousness. I slowly sank towards the lakes floor. Was I going to die? Inuyasha had resurfaced and cling onto a piece of the broken raft. He looked around for Kagome and the others. Miroku was spotted diving down into the water. Inuyasha grabbed him by the sleeve.
"What are you doing you fool?!?"
"Sango's down there! I have to help her!" Miroku pulled away and dived into the water.
"NOT SO FAST LITTLE MONK!" yelled the water deamon. She waved her webbed arms and a huge whirlpool started to suck him up! Inuyasha grabbed him, but was only to be sucked up as well! They took a big breath and were dragged beneath the water! Kagome though came up coughing hard. The water deamon saw her and waved one finger in a twirling motion. Kagome began to twirl in the water and the deamon slowly twirled her finger downwards. Kagome began to sink, water rushing in her face once more. Her head went under the water and she suddenly stopped. The water became still and Inuyasha and Miroku resurfaced sputtering and breathing in deeply, yet I still lay on the lake floor.. The deamon's mouth was wide open in shock. She slowly sank into the depths of the lake, blood ran through the water. There stood Sango, on a piece of raft holding the pole that held the sail on. It was jagged at smeared with blood. She was soaked and she collapsed, falling into the water once more.
~*~ At a near by town..
"Oh yes, the 'lil lady will be fine. She just took in a bit -o- water." Said an old man holding a bowl of crushed leaves. "But for your other friend.." he looked at me. "I donno he was under there for quite some time, yet he still has a pulse and is breathing. Very strange." He looked at Kagome, Inuyasha and Miroku. He nodded and started to leave the room setting down the bowl. "Oh, and you may stay for the night without having to pay." He said as he closed the sliding door. Miroku gripped Sango's hand. He was not going to let anything else happen to her. He was not willing to lose someone he loved.
