---Deceased Romance and New Revelations---

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho and Co. I most likely never will…

Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews I received! I'm so happy! Anyways, here's the next chapter – I hope you enjoy it!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been so occupied, too much things to do! Like homework and volunteering…anyways, at least the next chapter is up now!

I'm going to revise chapter 1 because it really sucks...

Chapter 12: Discovery

Kaede's Village…

The waiting group looked up at the crunching of leaves. Kagome was back and it appeared that Kurama was already coming too.

Kagome smiled, just like nothing had happened, "Well, I have some swimwear in my bag, why don't we pick ours out and change, then start going to that waterfall Miroku told us about?"

Seeing that Kagome wanted to just forget about what happened, Yukina merely smiled, "Why not…I guess it's also a good day for it"

Everyone else agreed.

At the Waterfall…

"Ah…" Miroku sighed happily, and then leaned over to Botan.

"HENTAI!"

SLAP

Hurriedly, he climbed up a tree to get a good look at the people playing around.

Sango groaned, "Now I know why…Miroku suggested this idea" She started to seethe.

"You mean…?" Inuyasha growled, "MONK! -" He leaped up into the tree that Miroku was sitting in and head locked him, getting ready to pound Miroku to death.

"Inuyasha-" Kagome shouted out.

"Inuyasha, where are you!" Finally spotting him, Kagome picked up a round pebble and chucked it precisely at his head.

"Whaa! – Ahh!" The two men lost balance as they tumbled into the river with a splash, the pebble skipping 4 times across the water right after that.

"HEY HIEI!" Yusuke cried out.

"What?" Hiei asked.

"SPIRIT GUN!" He raised his arms and pointed the gun at Hiei, catching him by total surprise and slamming him face-first into the water.

Hiei emerged later, sputtering. He drew his sword and ran after Yusuke, who was now screaming for his life.

Botan sighed and stepped into the water, "Now this is really peaceful…"

"Ahh!" Kuwabara fell into the water when Hiei shoved him aside.

"Very…" Yukina smiled.

"Yusuke! Apologize to Hiei now!" Keiko got up and ran after Yusuke.

"Well, maybe not quite" Kagome sweat dropped, turning her head to follow the 3 running around the water.

"Um…guys…" Kurama trailed off.

Shippo ran along the waters edge and splashed Kirara, making her shake her coat of fur.

I'll be right back," Kagome laughed, winking, then sunk underwater.

He looked at the spot where she had been with a questioning gaze and kept it there in case something went wrong. Inuyasha noticed and growled slightly.

It had already been a couple minutes and Kurama started getting worried, but was reassuring himself that she was fine because of the air bubbles that were floating around.

Suddenly there was a splash and Kagome popped up to the surface with shallow breathing, "I found something! Come on!" She beckoned everyone that was now settled down around or in the river.

With a questioning gaze, they all followed her and took a deep breath as she plunged underneath the water. The large group felt a huge pressure on their shoulders and they almost fell before it subsided. Breaking the surface, they saw a cavern behind the small waterfall. It was pretty warm with the sound of water echoing on the walls. Several chair-sized rocks littered the ends of the cave.

Hey! I'm so sorry! I have so much homework and I figured that I could at least make another chapter before I start loosing readers. I know this isn't enough to satisfy you, but once I'm not as busy anymore, I'll update some more chapters. Thank you for your patience!

Sayonara,

Tenshi-Battosai
