Chapter 6
Held Under
The next morning, Kagome woke up under the warmth of someone's hot breath. Her migraine had lessened and she was pretty sure for the same with Inuyasha. At the thought of Inuyasha she turned her head to see Inuyasha close to her. His arm was still draped over her, and breathing softly in her face. Kagome blushed slightly at the sight of the hanyou's calm face.
Inuyasha's eyes slowly opened to see Kagome staring back at him. "Morning Kagome." He said sleepily.
"Morning Inuyasha. How's your head?"
"Still hurts. But it's better." He answered.
They heard a sound behind them so Kagome turned her head back over to the other side and Inuyasha lifted himself up from the bed. Ayame was sitting up in her own bed rubbing her eyes. "Oh, I see both of you are awake now." She said. She bent down over the bed and slapped something. Both of them realized that it was Koga sleeping on the floor. "Get up you stupid mangy wolf."
Koga lifted his arm and was waving it. "Leave me alone, Ayame. Let me sleep." He grumbled.
Ayame punched Koga in the back and hissed, "Inuyasha and Kagome are up you know."
Koga immediately got up and looked at his best friend and the girl he was next to. "Oh. Morning."
"Why are you in here Koga?" asked Inuyasha.
"After we all saw you and Kagome and asleep on her bed, we figured that it'd be safest to have us staying in the same room. Ayame and I got more sleep than Sango and Miroku." Koga explained. He jerked his finger behind him.
Kagome and Inuyasha leaned to the right and saw that Sango and Miroku were sitting on the floor asleep. Miroku had his arm around Sango's shoulders and her head was resting on his shoulder.
"They kinda look cute sleeping like that together." Kagome giggled quietly.
"We should get started for the day and not disturb those two." Inuyasha replied. He and Koga got up and went back to their own room. Kagome got up and began taking a shower in the bathroom. Ayame went into the kitchen and began to cook up breakfast.
When Kagome was done with her shower, she went into the kitchen to find Ayame and Koga there. She took a seat next to Ayame and began to load her plate up with eggs and bacon. "Where's Inuyasha?" asked Ayame.
"He fell asleep on his bed." Koga said, gulping a huge portion of food down.
"I wouldn't blame him. He must be very tired from saving Kagome last night." Ayame commented slyly. She quickly glanced at her friend to see she was blushing slightly.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Kagome demanded.
Ayame shrugged nonchalantly. "Nothing." She lied. Her and Koga smiled mischievously at each other. The other girl glared at the both of them.
A few minutes later, a loud slap came from the bedroom. Sango came tearing out of the room screaming, "HENTAI!"
Miroku followed after her yelling, "Sango, my dear, I didn't mean it!" He had a red slap mark across his face as well as a perverted smile.
"DIDN'T MEAN IT MY FUCKING ASS!" Sango shrieked. She was running around the living room screaming her head off. Inuyasha poked his head out of his bedroom.
"You know, people are trying to sleep after having a box full of rocks dropped on their head." He said grumpily. Kagome, Ayame, and Koga were snickering with laughter and trying to keep it in as Sango stopped running around.
"Sorry Inuyasha." Sango replied. But as soon as she stopped running away from Miroku, he tackled her onto the couch. "GET OFF ME YOU HENTAI!" Sango bellowed.
Ayame and Koga laughed as they stood up from the table and placed their plates in the sink. "We'll be going out to the beach, Kag. Stay home and be careful of any of those dangerous pranks." Ayame replied. Kagome nodded.
"And rest." Koga added. Ayame and Koga left the kitchen laughing their head off at a Sango and Miroku who were wrestling on the floor.
Ayame was surfing on the blue sea on her surfboard as Koga was, again, flirting with women and getting their numbers. Ayame rested on her board, waiting for another wave to come. She was watching Koga getting a lot of numbers from other women. But suddenly, something happened. Without her noticing, a huge wave appeared behind her and it was going to crash down on her! Koga noticed this and immediately went out to the ocean.
"AYAME!" he yelled. Ayame looked at him weirdly. "BEHIND YOU!" She looked behind her to see that the wave was going to crash down on her and she didn't have enough time to get out of there! Ayame began to swim as fast as she could but it was too late.
The water consumed her underwater as she tried quickly to reach the surface. A pair of hands slid around the girl's neck and began to strangle her. Another pair of hands placed on her shoulders and began to push Ayame down further into the water. I'm dying…Koga…Someone…anyone…save me…
Koga swam out into the ocean calling Ayame's name over and over. But no response came from her. He took a deep breath and dove frantically into the water. He finally found her unconscious, slowly moving to the bottom of the sea. He grabbed her but not before seeing two shadowy figures moving away from her. Koga grabbed Ayame and brought her up to the surface.
"Ayame! Ayame!" he called to her. Nothing happened. He dragged her out onto the shore and began to do give her oxygen through her mouth (I forgot what the technique was called…). A crowd had gathered around them and were watching and muttering with concern. Several tries later, Ayame slapped Koga on the side of his head. He hovered above her and looked down.
Ayame coughed several times. "Where…where am I?" she asked.
"What happened?" Koga asked. "But no answers right now. Let's go back to the house." He helped her up and helped her into the house. When Sango, Miroku, and Kagome saw them, they instantly stopped what they were doing and went over them with concern.
"What happened to Ayame?" asked Sango.
"She was drowning when a wave crashed down on top of her." Koga explained.
"And…two girls were strangling me and drowning me further." Ayame coughed. Koga lifted her onto the couch.
"What do you mean by that?" Miroku wondered. "I mean, how what did those girls look?" Sango slapped his side. "What? I didn't mean it in a perverted way."
"Sure." Sango whispered sarcastically.
"I'm pretty sure that one had light brown hair and green eyes and the other had short black hair and dark blue eyes." Ayame described.
"I'm pretty sure that Sango and Miroku are going to be next." Kagome suggested. She turned to both of them. "Both of you please be careful."
Sango smiled. "Don't worry Kagome. We will."
