See you did want to read my next chappie! That's so sweet tear tear

Kagome raced threw the midnight black water. Not only was she lost, it was dark. She was deep under water and figured her best bet would be at the surface. Kagome snapped her flipper back and forth as fast as she could go to get to the top. With out realizing it, she was swimming to fast and she jumped clear out of the water, flipper and all. After dropping back down in the water Kagome glanced around. No one had seen that, right? She sighed from relief and then smiled. That was actually kinda fun. She smirked.

Kagome peaked her head out of the water, making sure she wasn't near shore. She smiled once she didn't see anything. Then she did it again. And again. And again. In fact, she was swimming forward with small leaps here and there. Not only was it fun, but it was faster. She glanced behind her to see the dolphins doing the same thing she was doing. She would jump, they would jump. She would dive, they would dive.

Soon they were spinning, jumping, diving, and racing. Soon she slowed down to catch her breath. The dolphin swam under her and then up, letting her rest on its back. She giggled. The day was pretty fun for being turned into a mermaid. Then with another smile she jumped higher than she had all night, making a good five or six feet out.

Inuyasha's ears twitched. Was that Kagome's laugh? He sniffed. It was certainly her scent. Maybe he hadn't been crazy all of those other nights. Maybe Kagome really was out there somewhere. Maybe she hadn't left him on her own free will. Maybe she needed his help. Inuyasha paced from worry. "Damn this is so hard, where is she?"

Kagome looked around. She gulped. She was closer to shore than she thought. At the same time she smiled. "I'll get to see Inuyasha again," she said while patting the dolphin on the head. Kagome knew better than to be seen, but she was to happy, she had to jump. One last time. Besides who cares if Inuyasha caught a glimce of her, he would never dream that it was her. He'd probably just think that it was a fish.

She slid off the dolphin and jumped, high. The dolphins did the same, but she thanked them (though they have no idea what she is saying) and shooed the away. She didn't need an audience when she was with Inuyasha.

Inuyasha's body tensed. It was the mermaid. He wanted to spring up, but he knew not to. He didn't want to make a scene. If the mermaid saw him she would just think he was causally sitting there. Then he would fight. Catching your enemy by surprise.

Kagome crept up and hid behind her rock. Her head peaked out of the water. The tip of her tail was also sticking out, with the occasional flick. There was Inuyasha, just sitting there. "Did he come to look for me? Maybe he just wants to be alone. He doesn't look like he's looking for anybody. I should go." Kagome thought aloud. She sighed and let a tear stream down her cheek. This could be the last time they were together, even if Inuyasha didn't know it. With one last glance she swam off. She didn't dive or hide. She jumped. And jumped. Then disappeared.

Inuyasha jumped up and rubbed his eyes. Yes he saw the mermaid but. . . but. "Was that Kagome?" Inuyasha sniffed. He smelt the salt from her tears and her scent, but they faded away with the mermaid. "It couldn't have been." He walked over to were the waves brushed against his feet. Soon he was knee deep in the salty water. It couldn't have been her, could it? "Kagome!" he called out into the night.

She stopped. Did he know, about her? Had she been caught? She turned and jumped out of the water. Surprisingly she giggled. Then she was gone.

Inuyasha rubbed his eyes again. "Was that her?" His ears still twitched from her laugh. He called again, but no response. He called over and over again, but to no avail. He knew that was the last he would see of the mermaid, at least for the night. He turned back and headed for camp. "That was Kagome?"

Kagome smiled as she lied down on the ocean floor. The dolphins approached, but she shooed them away. She knew that the fish and dolphins were her friends, but she didn't want to get to connected to them. Something told her she would be human again, very soon. She faded into sleep with a smile on her face.

Kagome woke up early the next morning. It was still dark, but she didn't care. She lied stomach down on the shore with the waves rushing over her with each passing moment. She couldn't help but smile. Kagome liked to sit in the waves, but she knew once Inuyasha came to view she would have to slip from sight. Her strapless blue bikini top help tight with each wave, but her green flipper would toss and turn freely.

Soon the sun was beginning to rise and she was drifting to sleep. Her eye lids felt very heavy, but she didn't want to sleep. What if Inuyasha came? "No. . .no," she mumbled to herself, but soon slipped away.

Inuyasha woke up before the others. His nose twitched. Kagome! He jumped up and ran towards the shore. He stopped when he saw a lump of something lying in the ocean waves. He sniffed. Was that Kagome? He walked over. That was her last night. He knelt down next to her.

She had her arms crossed under her head, while lying on her stomach. Occasionally her tail would flick.

How did this happen? I'm sure this is her. It has to be. I know it is! Inuyasha shakily put his hand out and slid it over her scaly bottom half, from the bottom of her belly button to the tip of her tail. "Inuyasha. . . ." she mumbled in her sleep and rolled over. He drew back, but stopped. She's dreaming about me?

Inuyasha gently stroked her hair and her eyes flickered open. She jumped from surprise and went to swim back out into the water. Inuyasha went to grab for her hand, but missed. "Wait!" he said. Kagome stopped, but wouldn't look at him. "Kagome?" he asked. She nodded and then whistled. Inuyasha's ears twitched. Before he could ask why she did that a dolphin appeared and was grabbed on to its flipper and sank into the water. "Why did she leave?"

Kagome cried once she got to the ocean floor. "He probably hates me now that he knows. Maybe he'll just go back to Kikyo. He could never accept me for who I am now. I can't even stay that long out of water! He'll never come back," she wept.
