Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-yasha or anyone else around him. As your about to find out I'm a 12 year old eighth grader that has and/or owns nothing!

All right here's the third chapter of 'Swimmer?'. Thank you all for all the reviews and sorry it took so long to update. I have one comment to what everybody's saying. DON'T tell me I have bad spelling. I already realized that. Instead why don't you tell me what I did spelled wrong? Huh? Well a few people guessed my age, I'm 12 years old and in the eighth grade. My mom told me I can't tell you more incase you're an old, hairy guy who wants to kidnap me. So that's all I'm saying! Warning: this chapy contains a song! You've been warned! Enjoy!

Chapter 3 Night Time Trouble

"He'll be fine," Kagome said to her audience with out even looking up. Kagome shifted him so he was lying back on the furs. Shippo scurried over to Kagome and sat on her lap.
"Mom, can we continue reading our book?" Shippo asked in a whisper careful not to wake the sleeping prince.
"It's alright a herd of hippos couldn't wake him now." Everyone looked her quizzically at her, apparently not knowing what hippos were. "O.k., A flock of harpies couldn't wake him now," Kagome said irritably. Everyone nodded in understanding.
"Let's read the story we started a while ago!" Shippo said excitedly.
"Only if we start over," Kagome said eyeing the two curious wolf demons.
"Only if we finish it!" Shippo said.
"Fine" Kagome sighed. Shippo did a victory dance as Kagome went digging through her bag. She finally pulled out a black book titled, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. (I love this Book and Movie it's the best in the world!) Kagome first explained the different holidays from the future, (didn't tell them she was from the future, yet) and how it came to be then started. The first page had a picture of Jack the Pumpkin King on fire while doing his dance for the Halloween celebration. She continued her story stopping to show the pictures after reading every page. When they finished the book they told each other their favorite part was. Shippo told everyone that he liked the part when Jack fell into Christmas land. Ginta and Hakkaku both agreed that they liked the ending the best. And Kagome said her favorite part was when Jack goes to saves Santa Claus. It was already very dark outside and also getting cold, so Kagome decided it was time to hit the sack for Shippo. "Shippo, I think it's time for bed," Kagome said steeling a glance outside. "I'm not t-tired" Shippo yawned. "Yes you are, time for bed" Kagome said firmly. Shippo nodded. "Mommy, you come sleep too" Shippo cried, causing Kagome to sigh. "Alright" Kagome walked over to her kit picking him up and hugging him to her chest. She picked up two large blankets from her bag and walked over to where Kouga was sleeping. "Shippo get on the fur" Kagome said. The young kit did as he was told then Kagome through a blanket over him. He snuggled into the warm blanket, as Kagome through the other one over the wolf prince. Kagome crawled under the covers with Shippo poking her head out the other end. "It'll be cold tonight I have two more blankets in my bag if you want them." Kagome whispered, cuddling Shippo close as she fell asleep.

Shippo woke in the arms of his mother. He looked around trying to figure out what woke him up. The young's kit's ears perked up when he heard a grunting coming form behind Kagome. He struggled to get away from his mother so that he could get a better look. What he saw made him worry. Kouga was thrashing. "Mom...I'll save...almost...there" Kouga said in his sleep. Shippo's eye's widened. 'I should wake Mommy' Shippo thought. He instantly went to wake Kagome. "Mom, Kouga needs your help" he cried. To his amusement Kagome woke without much effort. "What, what is it?" Kagome mumbled. "Kouga is-" Shippo said. And that was all that need to be said, because a soon as he mentioned Kouga she was up. "What happened?" Kagome asked. "I think he's dreaming about his mum," Shippo explained. Kagome looked at Kouga with pity. She got up and pulled Kouga on to her lap. Kagome heart went out to the injured prince as she watched tears welled up in his eyes, while he slept. Kagome started to run her fingers through his hair and rock back and froth gently. "Mommy, why don't you sing him a song? It always made me feel better. Sing that song you sang to me." Shippo suggested. Kagome nodded. (This is the song from 'Tarzan'. If you don't like it or simply don't want to read it, don't! Oh Yah, I don't own this either)

Come stop your crying It will be all right Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you From all around you I will be here Don't you cry

For one so small You seem so strong My arms will hold you Keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand The way we feel? They just don't trust What they can't explain I know were different but, Deep inside us We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more

Don't listen to them 'Cause what do they know We need each other To have, to hold They'll see in time I know

When destiny calls you You most be strong I may not be with you But you've got to hold on They'll see in time I know We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always Always

Kagome looked down at the peaceful demon, smiling fondly. "Sleep tight, love" Kagome said brushing her lips on his forehead. Kouga smiled in his sleep and pulled Kagome closer to him, so that they were right next to each other. Her eyes widened, but didn't make a sound. She thought of what to do she didn't want to wake him! So she slowly cuddled next to him settling down and then she fell asleep. One thought was coursing through the minds of all three viewers: 'It's about bloody time!'

I know that you hate me for my cornyness and I probably deserve it too. I needed a song, so I figured that this song was better then rock-a-by-baby. I'll up date REALY soon to make up for it. But other then that it was O.K., right? Little bit of fluff. I luv the Nightmare before Christmas, best move in the world! Who here loves this move, raise your hand. Yep, yep just as I thought! Everyone! (If you don't please understand that I can't see you through the computer) My brother said the meanest thing! He said that Kouga was a character that wasn't really needed. I was mad and told him he was wrong. But he said that I could still be 'Inu-yasha' with out Kouga! Can you believe that? I mean, what's 'Inu-yasha' with out Kouga? Well, until next time!

Ja ne!
