Drops of Venus
Chapter 5
By: BoOkWoRm
Okiez I'm back with the 5th chapter of Drops of Venus. I know no one really wants to read this so on with the story. As always don't forget to review.
Sango's eyes fluttered open to see Miroku and Kagome sitting on the edge of the bed she was in. Kagome was holding a sleeping Shippou. She started to sit up when Inuyasha and Emerald walked in the door with Kirara at their feet.
"He said they can stay." The hanyou said as he sat down Indian style in the corner. "Nice to see your up, Sango"
Immediately everyone but Inuyasha, who closed his eyes, turned to look at Sango.
"Sango! Your awake." Said Kagome looking over at her.
"Yea." She said rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and yawning. "Where am I?"
"Your in one of the guest rooms of the castle." Answered Emerald. "The nicest one as an apology from my father. Then again he doesn't have much of a choice it's the only usable one the rest are being redecorated."
After that everyone sat in a somewhat awkward silence. At least they did until Kagome remembered something.
"Inuyasha, where did you leave my bag when we slipped in through the crack."
"With a friend of mine."
Kagome looked at him in slight shock. The anti-social Inuyasha had bothered to make a friend. Quickly recovering, Kagome started inquiring about her bag again.
"Can we go get it?"
"We?" Inuyasha remarked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes WE, Inuyasha, I still have to talk to you."
"Feh" was Inuyasha's intelligent reply.
"If you guys are gonna leave you better do it soon. Inuyasha you know my father's gonna wanna ask you about your choice in companions. This is the perfect chance to escape. If he asks I'll just say you wanted to spend some time alone with your mate. It'll lead him to the wrong conclusion but it should get him off your back for a few hours."
Instead of becoming the sputtering idiot he usually did he merely nodded shocking the lightly blushing Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou.
"C'mon Kagome." He said as he stood up and walked out the door.
Kagome got up and as she was opening the door that had closed behind Inuyasha Emerald stopped her.
"Remind me to get you some clothes that won't make you stand out so much. The gaurds were looking at you funny earlier." (A.N.: I don't think I need to say that Yasha's eye twitched at that comment.)
"Alright." She responded and walked out the door and into the hallway where Inuyasha was waiting.
He turned without saying a word to her going in the opposite direction of the throne room.
Inuyasha walked toward the doors with the purple symbols on them and pushed them open to reveal three doors. The one to the left had a crown on it. The one to the right had a tiara on it. The middle one just had the weird unintelligible symbols. Inuyasha took the middle on without hesitation.
It lead into a hallway with marble walls and torches lining them. At the end of the hallway there was a golden door, whose doorknob-Kagome noticed, as they got closer- seemed to be a diamond. Inuyasha opened the door and went through it; Kagome following him closing the door behind her. Inside it was pitch black and judging by how close Inuyasha was standing to her it was a very small enclosure. She heard Inuyasha shuffling around looking for something near the floor. He apparently found it because he stood up to watch the wall in front of them move forward and to the side. When sunlight flooded in Kagome saw that the walls of whatever it was they were in was made of rock. They stepped outside and Inuyasha immediately bent down so Kagome could climb on his back. The instant she was settled he took off. Kagome understood what he was doing. Ha wasn't giving her time to talk. He wasn't giving her anytime to think.
'He can't keep it up forever.' She thought.
She tightened her hold on Inuyasha's neck enjoying the sensations that always went up and down her spine when she flew like this.
Inuyasha was fast approaching his destination. He knew that he wouldn't be able to escape conversation when they got there. He silently cursed himself for bringing the bag to his old hideout.
Then he began to pick up the smell of water.
'Here goes' he thought as he caught sight blue.
Kagome saw that he was taking her to a lake.
'Please don't let it be at the bottom. Please don't let it be at the bottom.'
Inuyasha stopped on the shore, his feet leaving imprints in the wet sand. He put Kagome down.
"It's in an underwater cavern." He said turning to face her. "About twenty feet out the floor drops straight down the cave's there. You comin'?"
Kagome looked at the lake then at Inuyasha then at the lake.
"I'll go."
Inuyasha started going in towards the water. Kagome went after him. She was a strong swimmer so she wasn't worried about making it the 20 feet. She was worried about holding her breath during the descent.
The trip out was uneventful but when the reached their destination Inuyasha saw Kagome's hesitation.
"You don't have to go," He insisted.
"I want to." She said and grabbed his hand underwater.
He looked at her blushing slightly and cocked his head to the side the way he always did when he was confused. He looked so adorable.
Kagome snapped out of her admire Inuyasha state and started talking again.
"C'mon Inuyasha I'm getting cold."
He took a breath of air and stuck his head underwater. Kagome mimicked his actions and let him guide her into the depths of the lake. Kagome looked around in wonder at the things floating around her. It was exactly as Inuyasha described it. It was an underwater cliff. She couldn't see the bottom of the lake it was too dark. She felt a spasm of fear when she saw something large move in its depths. She was relived to find out it was only a school of fish. It was about this time that she realized she was running out of oxygen. She pulled on Inuyasha's haori and motioned that she needed oxygen. He grabbed her arm and swam faster. He saw the entrance to the cave but Kagome didn't look like she could wait that long. She was starting to see dark spots and some air slipped out of her mouth and nose as she began to lose consciousness.
At that moment something came from behind them and plucked Kagome from his grasp. It swam three times as fast Inuyasha did and got Kagome to the cave entrance before Inuyasha completely realized Kagome was gone.
He swam harder towards the entrance. He reached it and swam through the familiar tunnel. He reached the end and pulled his head up above the water to breathe. The place was filled with an inexplicable light but he wasn't interested in that. The only thing he saw was Kagome lying on a terrace that the water was just below the top next to her bag and two sets of blonde hair. Both of the people pertaining to the heads were treading water next to Kagome.
"Is she conscious?" Inuyasha asked.
The two people turned around. If their appearance surprised Inuyasha he didn't show it. Their skin seemed to have a silver sort of glow. They had gray eyes and pointed features. They were an eerie sort of beautiful. The girl's golden hair fanned out floating behind her had she been standing out of the water the hair would have reached her knees. The guy was built like Inuyasha lean but muscular. His hair was short in Hojo sort of haircut.
"I think she's sort of in between." The girl answered pulling herself up to sit next to Kagome.
Inuyasha swam over to the guy. Just as he was pulling himself out of the water he heard Kagome whisper: "Mermaid." Before she passed out.
okay I'm sorry I haven't updated lately but life's been catching up with me and since my uncle is making me get off right now I'll probably have the next chapter up later today.
