"We all know what's going on, correct?" "Ki, Aussie, Tye?" "Correct." "Start tonight."

Night fall fell fast. ( whoa an alliteration. scary ) Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo all slept on the beach, while Kagome slept in the waves. Inuyasha slept close, but still distant. Something wasn't right.

Kagome blinked twice. The night was pitch black, everyone was asleep, but she stirred. "Something is wrong," Inuyasha stated. Kagome rolled over on her side to face him. "The wind is blowing in the wrong direction. The waves weep, but only I can hear their sorrow." "Something bad is going to happen," he said. She nodded. "I smell mermaid magic," he growled. "That makes no sense though, mermaid magic is controlled by emotion. We don't know any mermaids, so they can't have any emotion toward us," Kagome thought aloud.

". . . . . ."

After a while Kagome's eye lids got heavy and she drifted away to sleep.

Inuyasha's eyes flickered open from the blinding sun. "I don't remember falling asleep," he groaned as he stood up. Inuyasha froze in place, his nose twitched. He whirled around. No one was there. "Kagome!" he called. "Miroku! Sango! Runt!" No response. "Dammit," he cursed.

Miroku looked around. "Sango where did everyone else go?" "I don't know, something seems fishy," Sango replied. Miroku snarled. "Some one is messing with us."

"KAGOME!" Shippo cried while clinging for dear life on Kirara's side. "They -sniffle sniffle- are gone?" he asked. Kirara 'mewed' and shook her head. She tried to transform, but couldn't. Someone didn't want her to have the ability to fly. She growled.

Kagome looked around. She defiantly didn't remember falling asleep in the middle of the ocean. No land was in sight, not even a speck. She slapped her tail down on the surface of the water, all she got back was a distant echo. Kagome sniffled. She had no idea where she was, how she got there, or how she was getting back. The waves cried for her pain. The wind howled. At least they were on her side.

"It's not right," pouted Ki with her arms crossed. "Shut up," snapped Tye and Aussie. "It's the only way," said Tye.

Ki had a red flipper and a purple strapless top. Her brown hair was short, it only came to the ends of her eyes. Aussie had a purple tail and a green top, her blond hair came to her shoulders. Tye had a blue flipper and red top, her hair was also blond and was short like Ki's. They all had short bangs.

Aussie turned to the others. Tye you watch the island with the humans and the island with the demons, they shouldn't be much trouble. Tye nodded and dove under. "I'm going to watch the hanyou," smirked Aussie. "I trust you will make sure our mermaid stays out of trouble?" Ki hesitated and then nodded. She paused, then slipped away. Aussie smiled and slipped away as well.

A tear slipped down Kagome's cheek. The wind cried. The waves cried. She cried. But Kagome stopped and brushed away her tears. Now was not the time to weep, now it was time to find. She would find all her friends. She knew that someone was playing with them, she would find out. It wouldn't be easy, starting with the fact that she was out in the middle of no where. Kagome sighed and dove back down, with one last whistle for her dolphins. They didn't come. She sighed again.

A wave knocked Shippo off his feet with a yelp. Tye laughed from a distance. She had fun tricking the fox kit. The fire cat was no threat, since she took away her transformation powers. The humans were trouble, but not much. Besides where could they go in the middle of an island? Tye smirked.

Aussie didn't have as much fun with the hanyou as Tye did with the others. She was there just to make sure that he wouldn't figure out a way to find the others, though nearly impossible. How could a dog demon find his way off an island that was surrounded by water? It was to easy. She might as well leave and do something else that was worth her time.

Ki didn't follow Kagome immediately. It wasn't right. "The girl is hurt because of me," sighed Ki as she swam to follow her. "This is all my fault." The winds moaned and changed directions. "I shouldn't do this, but Aussie said so. Aussie is always right." A tear rolled down her cheek.

Ok I promise the other chapters will be more about Kagome and the others but I needed to set the conflict. Now I get to leave for dance. Bye for now! Please review!
