To Queeney: You know I can't answer your questions just yet! That would spoil the whole story.
To Stacy and Eun: Excuse me? You know what, you have to learn that not all stories are happy in the beginning. Its not like their just going to say when they first meet, "Oh! I love you so much!" Of course not! What planet are you from? There are obstacles and usually they end up getting mad at each other BEFORE something happens, dummies. They learn from their mistakes and if you don't like it, too damn bad. I'm not trying to please you, but my other readers who are grateful of my writing. Now, go take your flames somewhere else because I'm "afraid to read" your reviews "because of the horror I might find."
To Reviewers/Readers: Thankies much for reading/reviewing, I really appreciate it, unlike what Stacy and Eun did up there saying that I made Inuyasha say "I hate you" to Kagome. Oh my God! The world is going to end because there is no love at the moment! -sarcasm- And no one asked you to read my story. So, just leave.
To Xo0AkuTenshi0oX: Thanks so much for reading my story, I'm happy you like it!!
To Izayoi: The question on how I write so fast.. is a mystery. -wink-
Anyways, on with the story.

She walked over to Inuyasha's half, and kneeled down next to the bed.
She put her back against it, and closed her eye's. She was about to doze
off, when Miroku tapped her on the shoulder. She refrained from squealing,
on a count she didn't want to wake Inuyasha. Miroku smiled at her, and
pushed the bed back together. He pointed to the bed, then to the door.
She instantly understood. She kissed Miroku on the cheek and thanked
him, as he walked out the door to her room. Kagome got in Miroku's side
of the bed, and laid next to Inuyasha.
Even if he hated her...
...she couldn't bring herself to do the same.

Soakin' Up The Sun
Session Twelve
Water Galore
When the waters rose,
In the darkness,
In the wake of the endless flood,
It flowed into our memory --
It flowed into our blood.
When something broke the surface,
Just to see the starry dome --
We still feel that relation,
When the water takes us home.
In the flying spray of the ocean,
The water takes you home --
Springing from the weight,
Of the mountains,
Like the heart of the earth,
Would burst.
Flowing out from marble fountains,
In the dreams of a desert thirst.
-High Water
RUSH

They were all standing at the biggest water ride in America, at the
biggest water park in America. Kagome was currently clinging to a pole
for her life. "I am not going! Sango, let me go!" Kagome held on the metal
pole despite it being over one hundred degrees hot.
"Oh come on Kagome! Your the one who wanted to come here!"
"Yes, but I never said I would go on ALL the rides!"
"Come ON! Miroku and Inuyasha are getting on!"
Her grip was starting to falter as the sweat from her hands made it
harder to hold on.
"NO! Sango. I. Won't. Do. It!"
"NOW KAGOME!"
She let go, falling over with Sango. Miroku quickly got Sango, since
you had to go on one tube with a partner. Sango sat on Miroku's lap, as
they went tumbling down the tube. You could hear their screams a mile away,
and that made Kagome fret for her life even more. Inuyasha looked down
at glared.
"I want to go. You can only go if you have two people. Do you understand?"
Inuyasha said, stating the obvious.
Her eye's widened even more at the thought of sitting on Inuyasha's
lap. "NO!"
Couples, family members, and even enemies were tumbling down the ride
as they spoke. "Oh, yes. I'm not going to fool around with you Kagome,
remember the roller coaster?" He smiled, and began to walk over to her.
She backed up, and realized she had backed up into a metal fence. "No.."
"Yes." He picked her up, grabbed a tube, and jumped on the tube. He
pushed her into his lap, and wrapped his arms around her waist to keep
from squirming. They were now in line like the rest of the people on tubes.
There was a guard pushing everyone down, and laughing at their faces and
screams. That made Kagome even more queasy. Worst thing was, currently,
they were third in line next to go down, and now it was literally impossible
for her to get off because there were too many people behind her. She started
screaming, and holding onto Inuyasha for dear life.
Or tried to. Let me remind you, this is a water park. You have bathing
suits on, and Inuyasha, was a guy. No top to grip onto. So, she settled
for hugging herself around his waist, and closing her eye's. She buried
her head in his chest, and nuzzled into it. The guard raised an eye to
the two, and whispered. "Get ready girl, cause here you GO!" He pushed
the tube down, and laughed.
The slight push made them go slow, and then they were suddenly plopped
down into the watery depths. They were going at least eighty miles per
hour, and Kagome was screaming like hell. She held onto Inuyasha, as she
looked above them. It seemed as if there was no top part, so she could
see the sky clear as day. Inuyasha was having the time of his life, and
was rocking the tube back and forth all the more to scare Kagome. It was
succeeding, until the whole ride itself started shaking. Inuyasha stopped
screaming, and looked around, and saw the guard panicking. He realized.
They were falling.
"Oh shit! Kagome! Hold on to me!" He screamed at her, and she got really
nervous. She felt the ride shaking, and now she knew it was for real. Sango
and Miroku had already gotten out, and was panicking for their friends.
Inuyasha held onto Kagome as the ride was crumbling right behind them.
He held onto her waist tightly, and closed his eye's, waiting for the right
opportunity..
..to jump.
He felt it. He rocked the tube off to the side, and the plunged off
the ride. Otherwise, they would have been crushed beneath the rubble. "Kagome,
hold on!" He screamed out again. She held onto him, and they went soaring
in the sky on the tube. They were thrown a good hundred feet, and started
falling within thin air.
"Okay, Kagome, get behind me, and hug your arms around my neck." Inuyasha
said. If this wasn't a serious situation, then she would have called him
a pervert. But, she did so, and Inuyasha lifted her up on his back, and
jumped off the tube as it was about to hit the ground. He landed on the
ground, rolling into a tree. He rubbed his head, and looked down at Kagome.
"Kagome.. are you okay?" He said, looking at her.
She opened her eye's and looked at him. She had bruises all over her,
and they were bleeding really badly. He looked at her very concerned, as
to see he hadn't even gotten a cut or a scrape. He picked her up and winced,
his energy was long gone though. He trudged slowly over to where the crowd
was, and said a pitiful, "Help..us.."
He fainted, Kagome with him.
---
When they woke up, lights were surrounding them, as they were in the
hospital. They had no serious injuries, just some scrapes and scratches.
They would be out in a couple hours. "Oh man.. my head.." Kagome grumbled,
as Inuyasha sat up next to her.
"Your.. awake.." Inuyasha said, looking at her.
"Well, I'm not dead, because this would be hell." Kagome said, sarcastically
referring to him being there.
Inuyasha snorted. "I saved your life, girl. Don't you dare use your
sarcasm on me." He said, but overall, you could tell her was happy that
Kagome was awake.
Miroku and Sango came bouncing in, Sango crying on Kagome's shoulder.
"I'm sorry.. this is all my fault.. if I wouldn't have said anything, then
this wouldn't have happened."
"There, there. Its not your fault, its Inuyasha's!" She said, cheerfully
despite her situation.
"And what's that supposed to mean, wench?"
"Exactly what you think it means, stupid!" Kagome added the stupid on,
for return of the wench.
Yeah, he was happy.

For the rest of the day, they had all gone out to the beach and got
on their surfboards and had a load of fun. No one would break the bond
they all had, even if Inuyasha and Kagome's were very tainted. It was about
11:46 PM when they all went back to their hotel room's to get some shut
eye. It had been a hectic day, and they would be getting a nice.. quiet..
sleep..
"G'night everyone!" Sango said, latching onto Miroku and closing the
door on them.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at Kagome. Deja Vu.
They just sighed, "Race ya' to the bed!" Kagome said, running over to her
bed.
"What took you so long?" Inuyasha said, triumphantly, already on the
bed.
"Why you.." She pounced on him, making them both fall off the bed, leaving
Kagome on top.
They both got off of each other quickly, getting into bed. Kagome clicked
off the lights, and Inuyasha asked the question he had all day in his mind.
"Why were you in my bed last night?"
She choked on the air that she was breathing in. She froze. "I.. I.."
She stammered. She knew she should tell him the truth, and she was only
going to have to see him a couple more days now.. so, what the hell? "I
felt.. alone.. I felt as if I wasn't protected." Kagome admitted to him,
truthfully.
Inuyasha's eye's bulged open, and turned over on his side to face her.
He looked at her face, and could tell that she wasn't lying. He put a hand
on her cheek, and looked at her as a boyfriend would. "I'm going to miss
you." Inuyasha spoke, his voice horse.
Kagome looked at him in shock, his golden eye's visible at night. She
suddenly got the chills, and she was pulled into Inuyasha, his arms around
her body. Kagome said in his chest, "I'll miss you too, you big jerk."
Inuyasha laughed and pulled her closer, burying his face in her raven hair.
He had wanted to do that for awhile, but never got around to it. She smiled
also, and snuggled into his warm chest. Then, she did something she never
thought she would do to Inuyasha.
She hugged him back and pushed their bodies together for close contact.
Inuyasha was stunned, and looked down at the blushing girl. "Inuyasha...,"
was all she said, and dozed off into a peaceful slumber. He, for once was
happy and content. He closed his eye's, and held the girl close to him
all night long.
But, before he fully gave into slumber, he said the saddest thing in
the world to his ears.
"Six days down, one to go."
After tomorrow, would be the big contest. Who would win? He never would
know until the day rolled around. For once, he didn't want the days to
go by fast, he wanted them to go by slowly. Did he still want to go visit
Kikyou? Did he even love Kikyou anymore?
No.
There it was, planted in his mind. Finally, he knew the truth. He didn't
love her anymore. But, who did he love? Someone or something had taken
over the spot Kikyou once settled in.. but he didn't know. He didn't know
the truth that was staring him right in the face. That was right under
his nose!
Well, he would think about that in the morning. Now, it was time to
get some sleep, and have the last day of relaxation tomorrow before the
contest.
He held Kagome tighter to his body.
"Goodnight Kagome.."

AN: Their getting closer.. but what will happen the day of the contest? What about tomorrow? Who knows.. only the chapters ahead will tell... ja ne for now.
