I know you guys can't wait to read the rest. . . . .
Kagome dove down in the water. She smiled. "Maybe they don't care what I look like," she thought aloud. She raced forward under water, the bubbles zoomed by as she passed. But she stopped and looked at her hands. One. One pearl. She looked around frantically. Where was the second pearl?
Kagome looked back. There it was, falling. Falling fast. Into the darkness. "No!" she yelled. She dashed after it. She dove down deeper. Catching the little pearl right before it could hit the ground. Kagome smiled and then tried to swim back up. She jerked to a stop.
Her tail was caught on a. . . .chain? Why was a chain there? She put both of her hands around her tail and yanked, but to no avail. "Help!" she shouted. She looked around to catch a glimce of a large purple tail. Was that the one from before? "Mr. Fish can you help me?" she pleaded. No response. Not even a bubble. That's no never good. She whined. "This is not what I need," she whimpered.
"What's taking her so long?" whined Shippo. "I don't know," said Inuyasha as he continued to look out at the water. "Look at that," said Miroku. "What!" said Inuyasha. "There aren't any waves, even in the wind. That's not right," said Sango. "I smell mermaid magic," said Miroku. "No," said Sango. "If it were mermaid magic there would be big waves, not none at all," she said. "Ya," pondered Miroku. "Sango isn't mermaid magic combined with their emotions?" asked Shippo. "Shippo's right," said Sango. "What are you all getting at!" demanded Inuyasha. "No waves, maybe distress?" asked Miroku. Sango nodded. "Seems logical," she said. "Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled out to get no response.
They looked out. "I saw a purple flipper!" yelled Shippo as he ran out toward the ocean. "Stop!" said Inuyasha as he ran over and picked up the kit by the tail. "No I want to see mommy," he whined. "Kagome didn't have a purple flipper," he growled. "Someone else is here," Inuyasha snapped. "Are you sure Inuyasha," asked Miroku. "Positive," he snorted. "Look the waves started back again," said Shippo. "Mermaids love to trick," said Miroku. "Since Kagome isn't as experienced this other mermaid can probably over power her," said Sango. "So what's gonna happen?" sniffled Shippo. "I don't know Shippo," said Miroku. "But one things for sure, someone is messing with us," said Sango. Inuyasha growled.
Kagome looked around. "Stupid pearl," she muttered and released her grip on the chain. "Now Inuyasha will never come back." She looked around. "Where did all the fish go? Why is it so dark?" she asked to herself. She turned back to the chain. "Let go of me!" she demanded. It loosened. "What?" She looked around. Mermaid magic could be a good thing. "Release me!" she demanded again, this time louder. It loosened. "Go away!" It loosened. "I have to get to Inuyasha!" her eyes flashed red. It disappeared. It didn't break. It vanished completely. She sighed and smiled.
Kagome surfaced. "Mommy!" said Shippo. "Shippo!" she smiled and dove back down. "Kagome don't move!" said Miroku. "She can't hear you," Inuyasha growled. Shippo jumped into her arms once Kagome washed up on shore. "Mommy I was afraid you left me!" Shippo snuggled closer into her hug. "I missed you too," she smiled. Kagome stopped. "Something's not right," she looked back at the ocean.
"Ain't that a pretty sight," said a voice. "Ya," said another. "I agree," said the next. "Show yourself!' ordered Inuyasha. "No need to get aggressive, we weren't hiding in the first place," said the mermaid as she sat onto of the boulder.
She had a purple flipper and a green strapless bikini top. Her hair was blond and long. The other had a red flipper and purple top. The next had a blue flipper and red top. The last two both had long brown hair.
The purple one laughed. "What is this. Let's see two humans, two demons, a mermaid, and a hanyou?" she laughed again along with her friends. "Pathetic," said one. "Disgraceful," said the other. "You're little group we could care less about, but your friend is one of us now," said the purple flippered one. Kagome dropped Shippo she winced. "Stop it!" she yelled. She put her arms over her head. "Stop it!" she yelled. "What are you doing to her?" Inuyasha growled.
"No, no, no, NO!" Kagome yelled. She shut her eyes. "Just calling her back to where she belongs," smirked the one with the red flipper. "Mind control," snapped Sango. Shippo shook her arm gently. "Kagome?" he asked softly. "Be careful Shippo!" shouted Miroku. Kagome started to faintly glow green. "I WON'T!" she yelled. Her eyes opened. They were glazed over, completely red. "Don't disobey sweety," said the purple mermaid and she flicked her wrist. Kagome fell over. "You killed her!" cried Shippo. "No I wouldn't do that now. She's just resting," she smirked.
Inuyasha pulled out the tetsusaiga and it transformed. "Leave Kagome alone!" he ordered. "Heh," said the red one. "Wind scar!" he yelled. But the wind vanished. The mermaids disappeared. "Until next time," said a hidden voice.
Inuyasha rushed over to Kagome. Her eyes flickered open. "What's going on?" she asked. Kagome looked around. "Where did that one girl go?" she asked. "The mermaid?" asked Miroku. She nodded. "We don't know," said Sango. "What a relief," she sighed. "What are you talking about?" asked Inuyasha. "How is that good? We need to catch them," Inuyasha said. "No way, I'm fine now. Let's just forget about them," she said. "We can't just do that," said Miroku. "They said they're coming back," said Sango.
"Mommy!" said Shippo while jumping back into her arms. "Shippo," she snuggled into him and smiled. "I'm glad to see you're ok," smiled Sango. Kagome looked up. "Sango I missed you!" she yelled. "I missed you too," laughed Sango. "Oh hippo, Sango I have something for you," said Kagome while opening her hand to reveal the two pearls. "Wow it's so pretty," said Shippo. Sango walked over. "Ya, this is beautiful," said Sango while picking it up and looking at it closely. Kagome giggled. "It took forever to find them, and then I lost them and I had to find them, and then I got stuck and them everything got dark," she thought aloud.
"That's why you were down so long? For some stupid rock!" shouted Inuyasha. "No I got stuck is all," she said. "You risked your life for a rock!" "I'm fine now aren't I?" "That's not the point!" shouted Inuyasha. "I like your top," snickered Miroku. "Eep I completely forgot!" said Kagome while covering herself with her arms. "Could you get one for Sango?" he was now cracking up. Inuyasha went to hit him over the head, but Miroku fell back. "Wind?" he asked. Kagome had a really pissed off face on. "Mermaid magic I'd have to say," laughed Sango as she hugged Kagome. "Now that's something I could get used to," she laughed. Kagome smiled. At least Sango was having a good time.
"Well I see you have mastered your mermaid powers," said Miroku while dusting the sand off his kimono as he stood up. "Ya, except for eating," snapped Inuyasha. "What have you eaten Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. "Why does that matter?" she nervously asked. "I can count your ribs, so yes it does matter," said Inuyasha. "Fine I'm just not a very hungry person," she pouted. "Why don't I bring something back?" asked Sango. "That would be wonderful!" exclaimed Kagome. "So much for not being hungry," said Shippo.
Shippo jumped out of her arms and went over to her tail. Slowly he reached out his hand and touched it, and pulled back. Kagome giggled. "It's not going to bite you," she laughed. Shippo touched it. "What's it like to have a flipper Kagome?" he asked. "Really boring, the water is really pretty, but besides that all you do is swim around all day," she said. "I'd rather have a fuzzy tail like you," kagome said while tugging at Shippo's tail. He blushed faintly. Miroku and Sango laughed. Sango reached over and touched her tail as well. Soon even Miroku touched it. Kagome laughed. "I'm glad to see I'm interesting," she managed to say. "Inuyasha don't you want to feel Kagome?" asked Miroku with a smirk. Sango hit him over the head. Inuyasha blushed and turned the other way.
Shippo yawned. So did Sango and Kagome. "Maybe we should -yawn- go to sleep?" asked Shippo. "Ya," said Sango and Kagome. Kagome curled up into a ball right were the waves would rush back and forth on the shore. Shippo curled up next to her and Sango leaned against her too. Miroku smiled and faked a yawn. "I'm tired too," he smiled. Inuyasha picked him up by the scruff of his kimono and put him behind him. "Then you can sleep over there," said Inuyasha. Miroku sighed and walked away. Soon everyone drifted to sleep. Except Inuyasha. He looked over at Kagome one last time and sighed. "Kagome," he whispered.
