As Sango cut Shippo and Miroku down from the tree, Kagome explained what she had learned about Inuyasha's mysterious disappearance.
"So you see, I have to get to Ireland somehow..." Finished Kagome
Everyone was silent...except for Miroku, who had apparently not learned his lesson.
"So you mean Inuyasha is running around the world eating everything."
"Nooo... He's eating anything with potato in it"
"Oh...so anything containing the substance of potato is in Inuyasha's hands, and we must stop him from obtaining everything with the substance of potato. Therefore, if Inuyasha has so many potatoes he is bound to eat them all and become fat. So we must save him from being fat."
"Yes... No! I don't know...NO MORE QUESTIONS!"
"Kagome...so if Inuyasha is fat...do we have to pop him to get him into the well?" asked Shippo.
"...... okayyy... any ideas on how to get to Ireland?'
"Swim!"
"Walk!"
"Fly!"
"ok...any more ideas?"
"Ride Free Willy!"
"Why don't you use Kirara?" asked Sango
"People might see her...besides, you guys can't go through the well...WAIT! I know how you can go through the well!" Kagome exclaimed. Kagome ran to her backpack and withdrew the bottle of jewel shards. She broke a small fragment into 4 pieces. She handed a fragment to Shippo, Sango, Kirara, and Miroku.
"Now you can come through the well." As they all turned around and started toward the well a shriek could be heard from the back.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!"
"What the?"
"Squirrels! Squirrels! They're attacking! AHHHHHHHH!" Shrieked Miroku. He ran away from the deranged squirrel waving his arms over his head.
"Miroku! Watch...."
As he was running Miroku tripped over the edge of the well and fell head first into the well.
"...out" finished Kagome with a wince
"Well now we'll know if we can get through the well or not" Said Sango cheerily. They ran over to the well. No Miroku.
"Ok. So now it's proven, we can all get through the well...you next Shippo." Said Kagome.
"Why me? I don't wannnnaaaaa!" Shippo ended with a shriek as Sango picked him up and tossed him into the well then jumped in herself.
On the other side of the well...
"Sango help Miroku out of the well please" Kagome turned around and saw Souta standing in the doorway in a scuba gear.
"Souta? Why are you wet? And why on Earth are you wearing a scuba diving outfit?!"
"Mom said you were looking for a way to Ireland. I found you a ride follow me..."
At the beach a few miles away...
"This was your idea?!" Said Kagome
"Yep"
"You want us to ride that thing!"
"It's not a thing...It's an..an...Inflatable whale!"
"Thank you for the offer but I don't think so Souta. Now go back home. Mom's probably worried."
"...ok sis. Hope you find Inu."
"...That's your brother's idea?" Asked Miroku
"Unfortunately yes... but we don't have much choice do we..."
"Not unless you want Kirara seen by anybody..."
3 hours later...
"Row everyone! Put your backs into it!" Shouted Kagome looking over her shoulder
"Aye Aye Capitan!" said Miroku, and then in a quieter voice said to Sango and Shippo, "did we really have to use an inflatable whale? Don't they have inflatable boats?"
Unfortunately for him Kagome had overhear him speaking... "Miroku..." Said Kagome in a sweet voice
"Yes Kagome?" he replied nervously
Splash
"Blurble Blurble! Kaggooomee! I cclaann't svimm!" screamed Miroku between blurbles.
"I'd better go save him." Sighed Sango before jumping in. She heaved Miroku on board a few seconds later. As she pumped water out of his lungs, he suddenly regained consciousness and gasped out, "I knew you'd come and save me Sango!" while taking the chance to grope her.
"PERVERT!" shrieked Sango as she picked up Miroku and heaved him overboard.
"Sanggoooo! I really can't sw-...AAAAAHHHHH SHARK!" Miroku's arms paddled faster than light speed as he made a deadline toward the boat. Speeding away from a long dorsal fin from under the water.
"Well...what happened to 'I can't swim!'?" said Sango dryly before hearing Kagome's chuckle from behind her.
"Sango! What'd you do that for?"
"Huh?!" Shippo and Miroku turned and saw the 'shark' jump onto the boat and shrink into... 'so that's what Sango was reading...flashback to Sango reading a book ' Thought Kagome
"Kirara?!" asked Miroku and Shippo
Yes it was Kirara. Kirara with a now oversized dorsal fin strapped to her back.
"That was mean Sango. But I shall forgive you." Said Miroku...
Smash
"You know Kagome... I think it's best if Miroku remains unconscious for the rest of the trip..." Stomp
Whack
Crash
Smash
"That should do it" said Sango, dusting her hands off.
"Ok...Are we all finished? Good...oh and Shippo.... You have to row too"
"Why me?!" "Because Miroku's unconscious and we are now short one rower."
Shippo scuttled over and picked up Miroku's oar, looking nervously at a 'scary Kagome and Sango' and started paddling.
At Kagome's house...
"Mom. I didn't think Kagome would actually use the inflated whale raft it was a joke. I had a lifeboat ready for her."
"...That's nice. Just make sure Kagome doesn't hear that..."
There you have it! Chapter 5. The chapters will now be posted farther apart because I have started a new fic call Secrets From the Past and it takes a ton of time to complete one chapter, something like 5 hours or so. Don't know if any of you would like it but it'd be nice if you could check it out and review for me. But don't forget to review PP ok? ok TTFN!
