Authors note: I changed my mind, I will still post reviews. HOWEVER, that is in the future, starting after I submit this update. Oh, well. No more changing my mind! Heres the fanfic!
Inuyasha was seeing a definite improvement in Kagome. She still bathed every day, but she hadn't cut once since Inuyasha had found out. Good thing, too. She shouldn't hurt herself. Its..... ugh. He couldn't think of a word to describe his feelings on the matter.
Kagome was a bundle of nerves. She wanted to cut, but had promised Inuyasha she would stop. Why is it so addicting, DDDD it?! He obviously thought she was getting better, but she wasn't. Not really. She decided to take a bath to try try to ease her tensions.
Stepping into the cool water, ten minutes later, she sighed in relief. The water was like a soothing caress, and she loved it. For the first time in quite a while, she wasn't dunking about cutting. It couldn't be healthy to constantly have your mind on that, anyway.
Kagome swam in the clear water, loving the way it felt on her bare skin. She passed a big fish. It didn't seem to mind her being there. She studied the huge creature.
She wasn't sure what kind of fish it was, but it was gray-green, and had yellow spots on its back. It had a spined back, oddly. Kagome made a mental note to avoid those. The fish swam under her, and a spine grazed her elbow, causing her to bleed.
She got out of the water, deciding that her bath was done. She was just finishing getting her cloths on, when she heard a whooshing sound. Inuyasha leaped in front of her.
"You're bleeding again." He said matter-of-factly, brow furrowed. His golden eyes studied her. She showed him her elbow.
"That fish grazed my arm with one of his spines, thats all."She told him. It occurred to her that she had the grounds to be annoyed, but decided that since Inuyasha was just worried about her, she would let it pass.
Inuyasha, however, wasn't satisfied. "What fish?" He asked, not seeing the thing. She pointed at the shadow nearest them, where it was waiting. "Oh. That fish." He muttered. She giggled. "What!" He demanded. She shook her head, quelling the inexplicable laughter.
However, the fish had gotten her thinking about the knife again. How was she ever going to get through this if her mind so persistently stayed on the blade? Oh, dear. This is gonna be harder than I thought.
