L1Ldumie TK: Sorry… I feel horrible just throwing out short chapters, but I don't have much time to write long ones… I hope you like this chapter, though.
Lexc-angel: Thank you! Actually, I thought this story was going to be different when I started writing it, but I guess it all works out, ne? Enjoy!
Krazie-edge: Thanks, I think. I hope that's an 'interesting', in a good way! Well, enjoy this chapter!
Hipkid727: Haha, I hope the author of that story updates in between rewriting the fic! And how do you reviewers always seem to get the gist of what is going to happen? … Psychic people, that's what you are! And you know what? I take offense to people building a volleyball court instead of fixing a freakin' pool! What do you need more, to cool off, or die of heat stroke? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. Enjoy!
Blue: Alrighty then, since I deviated from my normal romance thinglast time, hopefully this chapter will be more refreshing!
Cell: As always, we hope you enjoy the hard work Blue puts into this story!
Sea: Actually, you don't have to care. Blue is an idiot for screwing up so badly, so she should have to deal with the consequences. IDIOT!
Blue: ... I hate myself...
Cell: This chapter will answer some questions about Akai yay!
Kami - God

When Two Worlds Combine
Chapter 5: Skating?
Kagome was laughing so hard that she was crying. Akai seemed to be doing a split, while still trying to stand up. He was holding onto the sides of the small, outdoor ice rink, grappling for stability. "A little... Help?" Kagome pulled Akai up and wrapped her arm around his waist to hold him there. "Are you alright?" She asked, giggling. "Yeah, yeah. Just mortally embarrassed..." Kagome laughed again. "You should have told me that you couldn't skate! Why would you invite me to skate if you can't?" "I have no idea..."
Akai suddenly fell, pulling Kagome down with him. The two laughed, before Kagome stood up and helped Akai to stand as well. "Alright, slowly now." Akai stumbled across the ice, clutching on to Kagome's arm for dear life. Kagome skated seamlessly next to him, smiling at his efforts.
Abruptly Akai skated over a bump in the ice, and he tripped. After a few seconds of chaos, Akai could breathe again. He didn't, however, open his eyes. 'Thank Kami for gloves...' He thought, because his hands had broken his fall. He was lying over the ice, his toes and hands keeping him from touching it. "Kagome?" He asked softly. "Akai..." Kagome's voice sounded very close, "Open your eyes..." She whispered. Akai slowly opened them to find himself face to face with Kagome.
Akai's arms gave out then, and he fell to his elbows. Now he was pressed tight against Kagome, and he could feel her breaths shorten. Akai only stared at her, his eyes glazing over. "A-Akai?" Kagome asked uncertainly, slightly scared of the look swirling in his amber eyes. He slowly moved forward, almost touching her.
"KAGOME!" Akai quickly pushed away from Kagome, leaving her lying on the ice with a confused look on her face. "What-" "Kagome, what the hell are you doing?" A red shape stood at the side of the ice rink, glaring at the two. "I-Inuyasha?" Kagome stood up, a glare of her own darkening her normally passive features. "Excuse me for a minute, will you Akai?" Akai nodded mutely, watching Kagome drag the man away.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing in my time?" She hissed, still maintaining a tight hold on the collar of his haori. "I'm here to make sure you don't make the biggest mistake of your life!" "The biggest mistake of my life? The biggest mistake of my life was ever loving you! You led me on for so long, until you finally told me you chose Kikyo! Now tell me, Inuyasha, is liking Sesshoumaru's reincarnation so bad, compared to the heartache you put me through? I know you know who he is, Inuyasha..." Inuyasha's ears flattened against his skull, and his scowl deepened, but he said nothing else. Instead, he walked away.
An hour later, Kagome and Akai sat on the wooden bleachers around the ice rink, sharing a box of pocky and drinking coffee. "When I was younger, I was found on a bench in the middle of one of the parks in Niigata. The couple who found me were not able to conceive, so they adopted me as their own. I have no idea who my parents were, or what my real name is. I have nothing to go on." "I'm so sorry, Akai. If it helps, know that I am only known for looking like someone else. If I didn't look so much like her, no one would really care about me..." At this, Akai began to laugh.
"Akai, it's not funny!" Kagome yelled at him, after getting over her shock at him laughing. She punched him lightly, sticking her tongue out in a childish way. "Yes, yes it is. I have never seen anyone like you before, and I do not know anyone who has a personality quite like yours… And yet I still care about you…" Kagome's face brightened and a shy smile alighted on her features.
"Really now… So, you actually invited me out here so you could spend time with me?" A pink tinge spread across Akai's face as he looked away. "No... Maybe… Oh just shut up…" Kagome quickly wrapped her arms around Akai, giggling at his bashfulness. If somebody had told her she would be getting to know Sesshoumaru's reincarnation a month ago, she would've written them off as crazy. Still, she couldn't help feeling confused about two things. If Sesshoumaru had a reincarnation, how and when did he die?
