Chapter 5

It was the middle of the night, and Inuyasha was still awake. Miroku had gone to sleep long ago, at first snuggling up next to Sango, who punched him and moved to the other side of Kagome, the closest side to the lake. Miroku pouted at that, but found a spot underneath a nearby tree. Shippo was squished in between Kagome and Sango, and, to Inuyasha, looked like he was having a long time of sheer bliss. Sango was facing the lake, so Inuyasha couldn't tell what her facial expressions were. Glancing over to Miroku, who was waving his hand in the air, smiling like an idiot, and looking like he was stroking something, Inuyasha couldn't help but fell the urge to gag.
"Disgusting pervert..."
Inuyasha glanced over to Kagome, looking at her in an annoyed manner.

*That girl...she's got to be crazy...*
~flashback~
"Are you nuts?!"
Inuyasha stared at Kagome, with utter shock and amusement all at the same time. Kagome looked back at him, looking like she was on the verge of crying.
"Why would I make fun of something like this?!" she screamed back.
"Well, I dunno. Maybe you want attention?" Inuyasha asked, a smirk making it way across his face.
That did it. Kagome started to have tears stream down her face, she began to shake badly, and her cheeks turned a bright red, like she was having a panic attack. Inuyasha started to panic, as did everyone else. Shippo ran to her side, while everyone else moved away from the enraged figure. Kagome looked over to Inuyasha, who crouched behind Sango in fear. Kagome stomped over to him, snarling like a dog, and bearing teeth like one too.
"Wow..."
"This is kinda creepy..."
Inuyasha was still crouching behind Sango, until Kagome came behind her, grabbed his ear, and pulled him out to the middle of the road, kicking and stomping on him as much as possible. It took awhile to get her away from him, with some bruises applied to Sango, Miroku, and Shippo as well, they finally got her exhausted enough for her to fall over, letting Inuyasha get some much needed air.
~end flashback~
"Bitch...she could've killed me..." he said, rolling his shoulder, making his back crack.
"Inuyasha...?"
Inuyasha turned his head to see a dreary, sleepy-eyed Kagome, rubbing her eyes, looking up at him.
"Hmph. What do you want?" he asked, turning away, making it look like he was pissed off.
"I'm so sorry. I let my temper get the..."
"Best of you?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, just don't do it again!"
Kagome looked down to the ground, apparent tears falling to the ground.
"W-why are you crying?"
"I feel so bad!" she screamed, rubbing her eyes, "And I'm not crying!"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not!"
"Yes, you are!"
"Stop it!"
Inuyasha stopped with her abrupt outburst, and let her cry. Long after she stopped, she walked back over to her sleeping spot, not even saying a word to him. Walking like a disoriented man who had a bit too many pints of rum, she kept stumbling and tripping over mounds in the dirt. Too bad she slipped.
Since she had been walking in a not-so-straight line, she slipped a nearby mud hill, which was still wet, making her slip and fall into the deep, murky lake. Inuyasha looked at the lake in amusement, waiting for her to come up. When she didn't, he began to get a little worried. "Kagome?"
He waited for another minute, and all he saw was the little air bubbles coming up to the surface.
"K-Kagome?"
Another minute. This time, there were no air bubbles.
"Shit! Kagome?!"
Inuyasha, now aware of the fact that she couldn't swim, bounded over to the water, and diving into it after her. Swimming to the bottom of the lake, he saw her pale, air-deprived figure lying on the bottom of the lake bed, looking as though she was in a deep sleep.
*Kagome?!*
Inuyasha was swimming to slow, because he was starting to lose air as well. He reached out to her body, but was still too far.
*D-damn it! I can't get close...*
His arm, which was starting to hurt from its elongated position, still tried to reach out to her, but was defeated by an unknown figure darting through the water.
All of a sudden, Kagome disappeared, leaving Inuyasha stranded in the water, angered at this...person who had gotten to her first instead of him. He swam to the surface, and climbed out of the water.
"K-K-Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, shivering.
Inuyasha looked over to see her cold, blue body lying on the grass, shivering. He would've gone over, but the 'savior' was already tending to her. Inuyasha tried to get a clear vision of the person, and gasped in shock when they came over to help him.
"...its y-you..."

Oh! Cliffhanger! Who do you all think it is? Sorry for the short chapter! I'm having severe writer's block tonight! Please r/r! I haven't had one in a while! Ja ne! ~spik15
