KopyKat: Now that I'm jammin' to some music, this should be fun. It also helps to already have it written in a notebook. Tells you just what I like to do when I'm supposed to be paying attention in school, doesn't it? *wink* Actually, I tend to write during my free time in class or during my English class when my teacher is talking. Hey, I'm passing with a high grade & my teacher says that she's proud of me & that I'm bright. *cough**cough* I feel that I'm as bright as the New Moon. *is struck down with Math problems* NOOOOO!!! HELP ME!!!
Shinta: *appears & continues the story* "Ah... just read for now while my creator deals with this dilemma." ^-^*
KopyKat: "DAMMIT SHINTA, HELP ME OR NO OUTFIT UPGRADING FOR YOU!!!"
Shinta: *gasps & runs to her aide* "Coming mother!"
((A/N: Yes, they speak strangely because they are just little children. Ex: "trying" would be "tryin'." Inuyasha -in the English version- speaks that way anyway. Sorry if they sound like a bunch of southerners. I am not insulting southerners either, I am one. Oh, and Mia & Inuyasha are NOT a couple. I'm a firm believer in Kagome/Inuyasha.))
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They made their way over to a small lake, where they were planning on swimming. There was a nice big boulder sitting on the shore along with an old oak tree that had a branch extending over the lake's surface.
Mia runs ahead, leaving Inuyasha & Hiro behind.
Hiro slides his hands into the opposite sleeves of his kimono, "This is our favorite spot."
Inuyasha observes Hiro & imitates him by putting his hands in the opposite sleeves of his kimono. He found it to actually be quite comfortable.
She looks back at the two boys after wading knee-deep into the water, "Are you two just gonna stand there or are you goin' to come swim?"
Inuyasha watches as Hiro undoes his kimono top, drops it, and races off to the water. Hiro chases his sister into the deeper part of the lake & tackles her, both going underwater.
They come back up & Mia grins at Inuyasha, "C'mon Inu! The water's a little cold, but it feels good!"
He smiles & takes off his kimono top, "'Kay!"
He jogs over towards the lake, but makes a detour for the large boulder. It was an oddly shaped boulder that extended over the water like a ramp.
The small hanyou wasted no time in running up the 'boulder ramp' & leaps out into the water. He splashes down a few yards out & laughs when he comes back up, his silver hair sticking to his head.
He grins while dog paddling (hehe!) over to Hiro & Mia, "That was fun!"
He floats next to them, "So, what do we do next?"
Hiro actually smiles slightly, "Well, there are some crystals & other cool stuff down at the bottom of the lake. We can go divin' & try to find some."
Inuyasha is about to nod when he hears some footsteps coming their way, "Hey, I hear somebody comin'. Actually, it sounds like a few people."
Hiro's eyes widen & he shoves Inuyasha towards the boulder, "Go hide behind the rock & whatever happens, do not come out."
Inuyasha nods & quickly swims towards the boulder, scared & confused. He peeks out from behind the boulder slightly as three teenaged boys emerge from the forest & walk towards the lake.
Hiro growls & Mia cowers behind her elder brother, trying to muster up a glare herself & failing.
One of the boys notices them & smirks, "Well well, if it isn't the two runts of the village. Unfortunately for you, I'm in a bad mood."
The two other boys of the 'gang' mirror his smirk, "We're in a bad mood too."
They suddenly lunge at Mia & Hiro & tackle them in the water. Two out of the three boys begin holding Hiro & dunking him. The other boy grabs Mia & forces her head underwater.
Hiro gasps when his head's above the water, "M-Mia!"
Mia struggles, but the boy won't let her back up.
After being dunked again, Hiro glares at the boy, "STOP!!! SHE'S DROWNING!!!"
The boy holding her just continues smirking, that is, until a swift kick to the side of his head causes him to go flying a bit. The other boys stop to see what was going on & see a small boy with what looked like seaweed on top of his head swimming towards the shore with a weakened Mia hanging onto his back.
Inuyasha glances back at Mia while swimming, "You okay Mia?"
Mia doesn't reply, using most of her fading strength just to hang on. He feels his feet touch the sandy bottom & pulls Mia into his arms so he can carry her out.
She wraps her arms loosely around his neck & turns her head to the side, coughing out an unhealthy amount of water.
He pulls her closer to him, looking at her worriedly, "It'll be alright Mia, I'm here now & I won't let those people hurt you. Just keep coughin' out all that water."
He glances back at the two 'livelier' goons coming towards him as fast as they could while treading water. The disguised hanyou growls & runs into the forest with Mia cuddled up in his arms.
As long as Inuyasha stayed in their view, he kept his speed in check. He wanted to go fast enough to lost them, but he didn't want to go too fast in fear of being found out. The seaweed barely hid his canine ears as it is, he didn't need another risk.
He glanced back to find that he had lost them, but he knew that they were still behind him. He was also getting very tired, despite his demon strength.
Inuyasha finds a tree with a hole in the base, a hole large enough to accommodate two small people, though a bit uncomfortably. He sets Mia down before crawling in & turns around. He gently wraps his arms around her & pulls her in with him. He pulls her into his lap & hugs her tightly, listening for footsteps.
He rests his chin on top of Mia's head while holding her in a protective embrace, "Don't worry Mia, everything's gonna be fine. I'll protect you from those stupid bullies."
She snuggles up to him a little more & he heard a weak "thank you" uttered by her. He blushes slightly because of the girl in his lap, but the blush quickly fades when he hears voices outside. He gulps & closes his eyes, wishing for a miracle to happen. As if to answer his prayers, screams are heard along with some snarls. The screams fade away, signaling that the boys had run away.
A familiar scent reaches Inuyasha's nose & he grins, "Mica!"
A snow-white wolf appears in the entrance & wags it's tail at seeing Inuyasha. Inuyasha crawls out of the hole, leaving Mia in there for a few moments.
He hugs his furry friend, receiving licks & happy yips, "I've missed you! Thank you for savin' us!"
Mica looks up at the seaweed & gets up onto her hind legs with her two front paws placed squarely on his shoulders & sniffs it. She bites the foul- smelling vegetation & tugs it off. She drops back down on all fours & spits the weed off to the side.
Inuyasha rubs his ears & twitches them, "I forgot all about that, thanks."
He hears something behind & glances back to see Mia beginning to get up, "Mia! You're alright!"
She slowly crawls out & stands up, getting a bit off balance.
He steadies her, "Whoa, can you walk or do you need me to carry you?"
She looks at him, "I think I can walk..."
Mia takes a step, but begins falling & is caught by Inuyasha.
He smiles slightly & pulls her up onto his back, "You're still a little too wobbly to walk. Just hang on & we'll go find your brother."
She nods & grabs onto his shoulders, "Thanks a bunch."
He nods & grabs her legs just under her knees before running. Mica runs at his side as he makes his way towards the lake. He nearly runs into Hiro, but manages to dodge him.
Inuyasha blinks & looks at Hiro, "Where were you running to?"
"I was going to try & find you & Mia. Are you guys ok?" Hiro asks after catching his breath.
Inuyasha nods towards Mia, "I'm fine, but Mia's still tryin' to get better. She's awake, but she's not strong enough to walk yet."
Hiro lets out a sigh of relief, "Well, maybe we should be gettin' home."
"No... we can still play, I'm feeling a bit better," Mia replies, slowly lifting her head.
Inuyasha closes his eyes & tilts his head upward in an arrogant fashion, "Well, you're staying up on my back 'til you can walk on your own. I'm not gonna have you trippin' all over the place & gettin' yourself hurt."
She smiles after a few moments & hugs him loosely around the shoulders, "Thank you..."
A blush creeps along the bridge of his nose & he looks off to the side, trying to hide it, "Yeah, whatever... you're welcome I guess...."
Hiro notices the large wolf at Inuyasha's side, "Uh... who's that?"
The hanyou grins, "She's my friend, Mica. She was the one that saved us from those bullies."
Hiro looks back at Mica, "So, she's tame...?"
Inuyasha nods, "Yep, but not quite tame enough to be in a house. Last time I had her in the house, she made messes everywhere. Mom wasn't too happy about that, but Mica's cool to play with outside though."
Hiro cautiously pets the wolf, receiving some licks on his hand.
He smiles, wiping his hand on his pants, "Yeah, I'd say that she's tame."
Mia peeks over one of Inuyasha's shoulders & smiles, "Of course she's tame, she helped us!"
Hiro smiles at her, "Looks like you're feelin' better sis."
She nods, "Yeah, I think I'm good enough to walk Inu."
Inuyasha cocks an eyebrow, "You 'think' or you 'know'? If you just think you can, then you're just stayin' back there."
Mia blinks before smiling again, "Ok, I know that I can walk."
He nods & lets her slide down his back & gently onto the ground. She stumbles a bit when her feet touch the ground, but steadies herself with the help of Inuyasha.
Inuyasha eyes her while holding onto her arm, "Are you sure that you're ready to walk?"
She nods, "Uh, yeah, it was just taking the first step. I kinda lost my balance when I was getting off your back, but I'm fine now."
He wraps an arm around hers & holds her hand (not romantically), "I'm still not sure, so I'm gonna make sure you're steady."
She blushes & looks down at the ground, "Thanks."
They walk towards the lake & Inuyasha stays on the shore with Mia while Hiro goes diving. Mica stays on the prowl for any intruders, especially the boys from before.
Mia glances over at Inuyasha, "You don't have to stay by me you know, I'll be fine on my own right here. Besides, I have Mica on the lookout for people, so I'm pretty safe."
He looks over at her, "You sure?"
She nods & he stands up, looking towards the lake, "Well, if you're sure, I'll go swimming for a bit, 'kay?"
She nods again & he sprints towards the water. *~I've got to get her a get well present. Mother sometimes gets me a present whenever I'm feeling bad, maybe Mia needs one too,~* he thinks before diving in.
He opens his eyes while underwater & looks around. There were glittering objects all around, which Inuyasha could only assume were the crystals Hiro was talking about before.
The hanyou smiles, *~I know what I can get her!~*
He goes up, takes a breath, and dives back down again. He swims around & looks for the right crystal. It had to be somewhat large & it also had to be pretty... and SHINY! Wait, why was he getting all excited over the luster of a crystal? He did like shiny things, so... WHAT?
His eyes widen when he sees a large crystal, it was nearly as big as his palm. It was a beautiful color & it reminded him a little of the Amethyst stone that his mother had pointed out to him.
Inuyasha swam over to it & pulled it from the stone. After examining it, he swims back up. As soon as his head was above the surface, Hiro had tackled him underwater. Unfortunately, the shock had caused Inuyasha to accidentally break the crystal.
Mia watches as Inuyasha throws Hiro off of him & makes his way out of the water, obviously in a foul mood.
She blinks, "Inuyasha, what's wrong...?"
He frowns & holds the crystal out, which had been broken into two nearly equal pieces, "Well, I had a crystal for you, but it broke when Hiro tackled me."
"Sorry," Hiro says while walking out of the lake.
Mia stares at the crystal pieces silently for a few short moments before smiling & takes one of the crystals, "It's not that bad, I have an idea. We can maybe find some thread & make necklaces with 'em. Then, if we lose each other one day, we'll still have these to remember one another by."
He sits down next to her, looking at his half of the crystal, "Well, I hope that we stick together-"
The half-demon stops suddenly when he hears something & listens, his canine ears twitching, "I think you guys' mother is calling, it's time for you to go home."
She quickly gets to her feet & Inuyasha follows.
She smiles at him & hugs him tightly, "Thanks for everything, I had a lot of fun! Also, thanks for the crystal, I love it!"
Mia lets go & begins running back towards her home with Hiro following. She glances back at Inuyasha, smiles, and waves, "See you later Inu, maybe we can play tomorrow!"
He waves until his new friends disappear from sight & grins, taking off to his own home.
