Chapter 2
Young Inuyasha wandered outside among the lines of clothing, hung up to dry in the hot sun. The many bed sheets and towels made him feel like he was in a white maze, and their clean, fresh sent was tingling his nose.
Inuyasha finally grew bored with the laundry and pushed his way threw until he found an exit.
When he came out of the waving sheets he noticed that he was standing on a high dune that led down to large, blue lake and the royal beach.
Inuyasha's little legs carried him down the rocky dune and he happened upon the sandy beach of the lake. When Inuyasha looked out over the water he could see the natural harbor that the lake made. The beach curved in a half moon shape, until it was split by a ten foot segment of water, which led out to the Great Ocean.
Little Inuyasha enjoyed the simplicity of the lake, as it curved out and into the violent ocean. The water was smooth and flat today, and Inuyasha could see the reflection of his palace in the water.
Inuyasha walked slowly along the beach, picking up small, flat stones that stuck out of the sand. Soon the picking up of stones became a game to him; and he searched for the flattest and prettiest of them all.
Soon his pockets were full of stones, and Inuyasha felt weighed down. One by one, he took the stones out of his pockets and began to skip them along the surface of the lake. Each stone flew farther than the next, and Inuyasha was fascinated by this fun game.
He ran along the beach throwing stone after stone into the water. Then, he came upon the royal dock that stretched a two hundred feet off the coast. Inuyasha had a great idea to throw the stones off of the dock and filled his pockets again with even more stones. A few spilled out of his pockets as he ran along the wooden planks of the dock.
When he reached the end of the dock he sat to rest and looked down into the water below him. A familiar image of himself stared back up at him in the green-blue water. He made funny faces at his refection, and the refection made the same funny faces back at him. Inuyasha laughed at himself. Then he remembered the stones that filled his pockets. He dumped them all out on the dock and separated them by color, size, and shape. He chose the ugliest stone to throw first, saving the prettiest for last.
"Ok, you first..." he said out loud, as he threw the stone over the surface of the water.
"Darn only three skips..." Inuyasha said, as he reached down for another stone.
Each stone sailed along the water, before disappearing among the surface.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome swam and swam until her very muscles ached, yet she still didn't feel like she was totally far enough away from her world. She hated being the center of attention to the royal family, and nothing but a rich, little girl to the outside world.
Rays of sunlight struck the surface of the water and created beams of yellowish white light under the water. Kagome realized that she was swimming very close to the surface.
The water depth grew shallower and shallower until Kagome had to turn into deeper water, or she would have beached herself.
Suddenly she saw an inlet between the beaches that was deep, and wide enough to swim through. The space led into a natural, deep harbor. Kagome smiled to herself, 'This is new! Oh what an adventure...' She swam through the inlet and into the harbor.
The water was a bluer and clearer then the deep waters of the palace. She liked this place and wondered if anyone else knew about it.
As she swam around the edge, keeping the beach parallel she saw a huge long shadow in the water. The shadow had many long legs that stretched from the surface of the water to the sandy bottom. She was scared at first, but only at first; as she swam closer to the shadow its true form began to take shape.
"Oh," Kagome said out loud, "it's a dock... and a very big dock."
Then suddenly she stopped. 'Wait,' she thought, 'a dock means...Land Creatures!'
Kagome could here her father's voice in the back of her head, telling her about the bad creatures that lived upon the land. Kagome feared the land, almost as much as she feared the sun.
The sun meant death to any mercreature, its hot rays could dry out your scales in no time, and you would wither away into nothing but a pile of dust. And being on land meant, no water; and then you would be at the mercy of the sun.
Kagome shook the thoughts out of her head. 'As long as I stay underwater, I'll be fine.' She convinced herself. So she began swimming again towards the dock.
The shadow of the dock soon captured her, and she now was underneath it.
Kagome ran her fingers over the wooden posts that held the dock up. They were so thick that if she hugged one, her fingers would not touch each other.
Kagome followed the post until she was about two feet away from the surface of the water. The post continued higher than the waters surface. This meant that there was an area to hide under the dock, and not be underwater.
Kagome stuck her head up through the water and almost bumped her head on the top of the dock. Between the wooden boards she could see cracks of sunlight. She pulled herself up and tried to look through the small crack, but she saw nothing.
Suddenly, Kagome heard a thumping noise, and the dock shook slightly. The noise grew louder and louder before Kagome realized what it was.
'A land creature!' Kagome was too slow to pull her head back down under the water before the thumping was right above her head, then as quickly as it had come it disappeared and continued on down the dock.
Kagome felt silly, the creature couldn't have seen her anyway; why did she get scared?
Her curiosity was killing her; she had never been this close to a land creature. She wondered what it looked like.
Images of a creature with long, dripping fangs and sharp claws appeared in her mind. She shook them away. And quietly swam, with her mouth and nose submerged under the water, toward the end of the dock.
When she reached the dock's end she could hear the land creature on the dock above her. The creature didn't say anything, only giggled a bit.
Then Kagome heard a noise that sounded like a bunch of rocks had just hit the wooden boards. The pebbles scraped along the boards and she could barley hear a voice mumbling something to them.
Kagome wondered what the creature was doing. She had never heard anything so strange before.
Suddenly she heard a voice... a male voice... say, "Ok, you first."
Kagome was puzzled, 'What first?' she thought.
Then she heard one of the stones smack three times against the surface of the water, and then on the forth, it fell kerplunk under the water.
Kagome heard the voice above her speak again, "Darn, only three skips."
Kagome blushed. What is this creature doing? Then, again she heard the creature select a stone and then throw it at the water.
Kagome pulled her head underwater and watched as the stone fell through the water and landed on the sand far below.
Kagome was filled with a sense of playfulness. Without thinking twice, she swam out from under the dock towards the stone the creature had thrown in the water.
She picked it up and looked at it; it seemed just like a normal rock.
Suddenly she heard another kerplunk noise above her head, and another stone fell just a few feet beyond where the first one had fallen.
Kagome swam over and picked up that stone too, and examined it, still nothing that important.
With every stone that Inuyasha threw into the water, Kagome retrieved it. She placed all the stones in a pile and waited for the next one.
Kagome couldn't help but giggle and laugh, this game amused her. She was having fun playing with a land creature.
Just as quickly as the game had begun it stopped. Kagome waited and waited for more stones to fall down to her, but none came.
Kagome was saddened by this; she wanted to continue to play. She swam back to the shadow of the dock, surfaced just slightly so that she could hear the creature and waited.
The creature still stood on the dock, Kagome listened hard.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha stood staring out at the water. He had thrown all his rocks into the water, and now there was nothing to do.
Inuyasha shielded his eyes from the bright sunlight. The sunset looked really pretty, setting over the water.
Wait...
The...
Sunset...!!
"Oh crap!" Inuyasha said, "I'm late for dinner. Sesshomaru is gonna kill me!"
Inuyasha turned on his heels and ran down the dock, back towards the palace, mumbling to himself, "I'm dead... I'm so dead!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was startled when the creature started to talk again. Then she heard him run down the dock away from her.
Kagome swam out from under the dock, and pulled her body up out of the water, just slightly so that she could see where the creature was going.
All she could see was a faint outline of something, running on two legs along the edge of the beach. The creature ran so fast! Kagome was amazed.
Kagome wished that she could see him again. Then suddenly she remembered something, "The rocks!"
She splashed down underwater and found the pile she had collected that the creature had thrown.
She carried them all back to the dock.
Very carefully she laid them on the dock. Kagome realized that they were all very pretty. She could see why the creature liked them.
Before she left, Kagome found a whole shell and placed it with the rocks. Kagome couldn't help smile to herself.
'I won't tell anyone about you, you'll be my little secret...' she thought. And then she sank down beneath the waves, and swam back toward home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I hope you enjoyed this chapter... Will Inuyasha return to the dock and find the rocks with Kagome's little gift?? Duh!! Of course... don't forget they are both very young... so I'm trying to write like I'm in the mind of a five year old... as time goes on... they will get older... I plan on bringing Kikyo (Kikyou, alternate spelling?) into the picture, as well as Naraku... : ) Don't forget to review... I love Reviews... they make me feel loved... ; )
