Destiny is what is meant to be…
People say… that love is the hardest game of all because how can one win if there are no rules to play by…

CHAPTER 5: Swimming Accident
IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL
"Kagome!" Sango yelled.
"Konichiwa Sango." Kagome smiled.
"You're not mad anymore?"
"Nope," Kagome smiled again.
"I'm glad." Sango hugged Kagome.
"Here you go, the cream puffs I made this morning with your mom. I tried one. They are delicious!" Sango exclaimed.
Kagome bit into one. "You're right, they are!" Kagome reached for another one. But Sango backed away. "Hey I was getting another one."
"Nope, you don't get another one until lunch." Sango said.
"It's not for me. It's for Inuyasha." Kagome explained.
"Inuyasha?" Sango asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes. Now, gimme," Kagome reached for the cream puffs again.
"Now wait second. Where IS Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"He's inside the classroom with Miroku." Kagome said. "Now, gimme," Kagome said again.
"Not yet. Explain more. This morning you were getting all mad about your mother and grandpa saying that Inuyasha was your boyfriend."
"Gomen, I was just frustrated." Kagome apologized.
"I see, so you DO like Inuyasha." Sango said as a matter-of-factly.
Kagome blushed. "I don't NOT like him."
RING!
The bell!" Kagome and Sango yelled simultaneously.
"Let's go Kagome!" Sango yelled as she to the school entrance.
INSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Sango had given a cream puff to Kagome to give to Inuyasha.
"MMmmm… This is delicious." Inuyasha said. "Sango sure is a good cook."
"Arigato Inuyasha," Sango thanked Inuyasha, "Miroku what do you think?"
"Delicious! I want more!" Miroku reached out to get more. But Sango hit his hand.
"No more until lunch!" Sango yelled.
"Please. Just one?" Miroku pleaded.
"Nope."
Inuyasha and Kagome laughed as they watched Miroku keep trying to steal a cream puff from Sango. But each time ended up with a punch to the head or a slap to the hand.
GYM
"Alright! Did everyone bring their swim suits that I asked them to bring yesterday?" Ms. Sakura asked the class.
"YES!" The class responded.
"Ok over to the pool then!" Ms. Sakura led the class over to the pool and then separated the class into skill levels.
"Kagome? How good of a swimmer are you?" Ms. Sakura asked.
"Pretty good." Kagome replied.
"Ok then. Go over where Inuyasha and Kikyo are."
"Hai."
Ms. Sakura was done separating the class. The expert swimmers, which included Kikyo, Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome, Sango and 3 other classmates, Kagura, Kanna, and Hojo, were asked to race against one another to see who the best was.
The rest of the class was going to watch.
"Inuyasha and Hojo!" Take your places at the end of the pool!" Ms. Sakura ordered.
Inuyasha and Hojo went to the end of the .pool and waited for Ms. Sakura's signal.
"On your mark, get set. Go!" Ms. Sakura yelled.
"Bonzai! Bonzai!" The class yelled in encouragement.
"Who's ahead?" Kagome asked Sango.
"The person with the long silver hair." Sango replied.
"Inuyasha!" Sango and Kagome looked at each other, smiled and yelled simultaneously.
"Bonzai! Bonzai!" The class continued to cheer.
Inuyasha was like a whole yard ahead of Hojo.
"And the winner of this race is….Mr. Taisho!" Ms. Sakura yelled.
The class broke out in cheers and applause.
"Good job Inuyasha!" Everyone told Inuyasha as he was headed back to the other end of the pool.
Inuyasha looked around for Kagome and saw her at the other end of the pool talking to Hojo. She was the only one complimenting him.
"Good Job, Hojo." Kagome complimented.
"I didn't win, Inuyasha did." Hojo said, drying himself with a towel.
"Doesn't matter, you still did a good job." Kagome smiled.
"Arigato Kagome" Hojo thanked.
Kagome walked back over to Inuyasha.
"Good Job Inuyasha." Kagome smiled a big smile.
Before Inuyasha could answer, Ms. Sakura called up Kagome and Kikyo.
"Ms. Kagome! Ms. Kikyo!" Ms. Sakura yelled. "To your places!"
Kikyo and Kagome walked over to the end of the pool.
"On your mark, get set, go!"
Off went Kagome and Kikyo.
"Wow, Kagome is really fast." Inuyasha said.
"Yea, I know, she was the top swimmer at our high school in Osaka!" Sango exclaimed.
"Bonzai! Bonzai!" the class cheered.
Kagome was way ahead of Kikyo. Kikyo was like 2 yards away.
"And the winner is….Ms. Kagome!" Ms. Sakura announced.
"Yeah!" Sango screamed. Sango ran towards Kagome. But she had slipped on the wet floor. "Ahhhh!"
"Sango!" Kagome yelled.
Sango slid across the floor on one foot, and fortunately didn't fall on her back. She slid right into Miroku.
"Are you alright?" Miroku asked.
"Sango are you alright?" Kagome asked.
"Uh huh. Ow, just my ankle hurts. I just won't be able to swim. I can walk though."
"Grrr…!" Kikyo growled. "She didn't win! It was a TIE!"
"Kikyo, you were way behind. Everyone could see very clearly that Kagome won by a mile." Miroku said to Kikyo still holding onto Sango.
"Wow, Kagome you were really fast." Some of her classmates said to Kagome.
"Great job Kagome, but I think I can still out swim you." Inuyasha said smugly.
"Sure you can," Kagome laughed.
"What? I can." Inuyasha said.
"Ok class, no time for anymore races! Go change back into your uniforms! Class dismissed!" Ms. Sakura yelled.
Everyone had gone to change.
"Oh, darn. I forgot my towel. Be right back." Kagome said.
"I'll go with you," Sango said. But Kagome was way ahead.
"Now where did I leave my towel?" Kagome asked herself. "Oh there it is." It was at the side of the pool. When Kagome knelt down to pick it up, she was pulled down into the water by someone.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled. She had gotten to the pool just as Kagome was pulled down.
Sango stuck her head in the water to see Kagome struggling to swim upwards. There was someone under Kagome but Sango couldn't make out who it was.
Sango was about to dive in but remembered she couldn't swim, after she had slid and hurt her ankle.
She walked back to where Inuyasha and Miroku were. They were done changing.
"Inuyasha! Miroku!" Sango called over to them.
"Sango!" Miroku cried. "What's wrong?"
"Sango, where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
Getting straight to the point, Sango said, "Kagome was pulled down into the pool, an-"
Sango didn't even finish explaining and Inuyasha ran towards the pool and dove right into the pool with all his clothes on.
He spotted Kagome unconscious at the bottom of the deep end of the pool.
He swam over and saw that Kagome was as blue as the water. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and swam straight for the surface.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha screamed.
Miroku, Sango and Ms. Sakura were at surface waiting for Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! Bring Ms. Kagome over here!" Ms. Sakura yelled.
Inuyasha swam over to Ms. Sakura with Kagome in his arms.
"Oh my, she has swallowed a lot of water," Ms. Sakura said with a look of concern. "Her heart is still beating. We have to get her to the hospital quickly!"
END OF CHAPTER 5
Heehhee a cliffhanger. I will just let you know this: NO ONE WILL DIE IN THIS STORY. Not even Kikyo.
R&R!
