Heh so it's like midnight but I feel like writing:
Inuyasha's ears dropped and he just gazed out into the ocean. "Did she just leave me?"
The sun was now shining highly and brightly in the sky. Inuyasha turned and went back to the others. "Inuyasha!" said Shippo. He looked up. "Where have you been?" the little fox kit wanted to know. He looked around behind Inuyasha. His smile left once he realized Inuyasha didn't bring Kagome to them. "Did you find Kagome?" asked Miroku. "No," Inuyasha lied. Maybe she doesn't want me to tell anyone. "Why have you been leaving so much then?" asked Sango. "I'm just looking ok, it's not anything else!" he snapped. She shrugged her shoulders and sat back down.
Kagome eventually stopped crying, once she got to the point in which she could physically cry no more. (talk about a lot of crying) She looked up. The water was go clear, it was like it wasn't even there. She could see the sun and clouds clearly. Kagome looked around at all the tropical fish and coral. Now that it had been four days with out food she was getting really hungry.
She swam over and pulled out a piece of seaweed and took a small bite. She scrunched up her face, but swallowed anyway. "This is disgusting," she said. After forcing a few more bites she chucked the plant. She was hungry, really hungry, but that was to gross. She swam over, but stopped. Where were all the fish?
Kagome looked around. "Hello?" she called. She squinted her eyes and saw why everyone wasn't there. Shark. Tiger shark. Not good. Kagome froze in place. "Don't let it see me," she pleaded. It looked around, and glanced her way. Even worse. She rushed off. That was her mistake. It followed.
With her dolphin friends gone she had to swim on her own. Over a coral plant under a branch. She dodged and swerved, but she couldn't shake it. It was getting close. Too close. Kagome winced as it took a snap at her tail. Thankfully ahead was another reef. She went threw the plant, while the shark had to swim around. It was still to fast. Surface. She could lose it there, right?
Inuyasha sniffed. Kagome's blood? Faint, but still there. He stood up. "Inuyasha where are you going now?" whined Shippo. He didn't respond and walked off. Once he was out of sight he took off in a sprint.
Kagome reached the surface. So did the shark. She wasn't getting anywhere with this. She jumped out. It jumped out. The stupid thing was mimicking her moves, waiting for her to get tired, then to strike. Kagome panted, she couldn't get tired. She couldn't stop. She jumped again, only about two feet out, not high. Not good. Where were the dolphins?
Inuyasha stopped in the sand. He sniffed again. He was sure now, her blood. He winced. He couldn't help her, not with her being under water. He looked out. She jumped again. So did the shark. "Kagome!"
Each jump, each pump, each breath. They hurt. She glanced back only for a second. The shark had gotten her tail worse than she thought. Kagome whimpered softly and swam on. It was catching up. Fast. She jumped again. This thing wasn't losing even an ounce of energy and she was exhausted. She looked around. Her boulder. She shore. Inuyasha. She stopped and then swam again, the shark caught up even more.
There has got to be something a mermaid could do that a shark couldn't. She jumped again. That was it! The shark couldn't jump as high as her. Two feet at max. She could escape it, if she could surplus the pain in her tail.
Inuyasha ran to the edge of the ocean. It was obvious that she was being chased by a shark. She had jumped at least three times with him watching. He wanted to help, but they were to far off and he wasn't that good of a swimmer. He ran out until the water came up to his waist. "Kagome!" he tried again. She jumped, so did the shark.
She jumped higher. The shark didn't. She jumped and whirled with a spin. The shark couldn't. It wasn't as agile. On her last jump she noticed Inuyasha. Had he been there the whole time? Her heart skipped a beat. She was making a total fool of herself. Losing to a mortal shark. She turned around. She could hit it. Hopefully.
It opened its mouth. Kagome punched it right in the nose. Her hand was glowing pink. "That's new," she murmured. She dove under its belly and punched at its heart. She killed it, right? She looked up. It bit at her hip. She screamed. Then it died. The grip loosened and she managed to wriggle out. She wanted to sit on her boulder because she knew more sharks would come if they smelled her blood. But she couldn't. Inuyasha was there. What would he say? Pathetic.
She couldn't bare it anymore. Slowly Kagome crept up on the rock. Her hip and tail were bleeding. She winced just looking at it.
Inuyasha stopped. His heart dropped. Kagome was hurt. His Kagome was hurt. Under his watch. His eyes flashed red for a moment before he bound over to her.
Kagome looked up to see him coming. She weakly slid off the rock and sunk into the water. Inuyasha wouldn't let her get away so easily. She was hurt. She needed him. Why did she keep leaving? He reached down and grabbed her hand, pulling her backup.
Kagome looked down. What was he going to do, laugh? She softly cried, hoping he wouldn't notice. He did. "Kagome you're hurt!" he exclaimed. "I'll get over it," she said weakly. Kagome expected him to let her go. She said she'd be fine. That was all she thought he needed. But he picked her up and hugged her?
"First you run off and now you're hurt, how did this happen?" he demanded to know while still holding her tightly. She went to speak but more sharks swarmed.
"I don't have time for you!" he yelled at the circling fins. He gently put Kagome on the rock and looked at the water. "Iron reaver soul stealer!" he shouted. The circling stopped. No time for celebration, he turned to Kagome who was trying to make a weak escape. He rushed over and picked her up bridal style. "Where are you going?" he asked. "Thank you for helping me," she said and dropped out of his arms. "Kagome what's wrong?"
She looked at him with sorrowful eyes. She didn't speak. "We need to tend to your wounds," he stated. She looked away. He growled and went over and picked her up again. "Come on we've got to get you back to camp," he ordered. He started to walk away, but Kagome spoke up. "Um, Inuyasha," she started. "What?" he asked. "Water," she said while looking back at the ocean. They were still on shore, but she needed to stay by the water. She was a mermaid. They kinda have to stay together.
Inuyasha didn't say anything. "My wounds will heal," she said. He looked down. "But what about you? Have you even eaten anything since, well, this?" She didn't respond. "You have to eat!" he insisted. "I also have to have water," she said. Inuyasha slowly walked back into the water and stopped when it was about knee deep. He gently put her down.
"Promise you'll be back at nightfall?" he asked. "I promise," she said. She turned to leave, but Inuyasha grabbed her wrist. He hugged her once again and then kissed her softly on the lips. "I'll be fine," she reassured. He nodded. Then she swam away.
It is late! Who cares it's a Friday. This is my problem. Instead of Friday plans like everyone else I write storys. I need a life. Oh well, please REVIEW!
