From The Sea She Walks

Chapter Two: Fights First, Meeting Later

Kagome rolled, tangling her legs in something; waking her from her slumber; worried. 'Where am I?' she asked herself as she looked around the dimly lit clearing. Memories came flooding back and she sighed heavily. Kagome tried to stand up but something stopped her; she looked down and a big piece of material tangled itself around her long, new, legs. Unwrapping her self she looked around and figured out where she was.

It looked like a place where the group of land dwellers lived; temporarily. But Kagome had no time to investigate; she had found land and needed to figure out what to do. If Tally was right; things would go smoothly if she didn't let people know that she was part fish part human, and able to talk to fish. AND if the land life was much like the life she once, somewhat, lived she'd be ok.

FLASHBACK

"When you get there ask someone where a jewelry shop is and sell some of your jewelry for money," Tally said,

"Why do I need money?" Kagome asked.

"You'll need money to buy what you need to live. Food, water, shelter, and clothes." Tally explained, "Watch out for roads and cars. Don't worry; you'll get the hang of it."

"How do you know all this?"

"I have at least 400 brothers and sisters who have friends, who have friends so on." Tally said; Kagome smiled.

END OF FLASHBACK

'Ok. Now to stand then walk,' Kagome said. She sake-ally stood her arms waving franticly in circles to keep her balance. "I feel like an idiot. A fish out of water, literally," She grumbled aloud.

"You look like an idiot too," Sesshomaru said from his position under a tree. Kagome glared towards the blond hair boy, it was one thing when she commented on herself; but a complete stranger saying she was an idiot, simply infuriated her. 

"Why," Kagome said in a slight voice, once she had turned to him and was balanced, "do you think I'm an idiot. That's a rather weak sealing spell you have on." Sesshomaru's noh-mask was still in place but his 'brown' eyes where surprised that this 'human' saw right threw a very complicated and strong sealing spell.

Kagome, now totally ignoring the stoic demon, tried walking. One step; successful. Two steps; successful. Third step, TUMP! Kagome landed on her butt. 'Gotta' try again, get use to walking Kagome. It ant' that hard!' "OW!!" Kagome cried as her foot stepped on a rock, and then fell on her butt once as she jumped back in surprise. "Do you need some help?" Sesshomaru offered playfully but cruelly as well. And Kagome being a kind mer-person she said, "Hahaha," She laughed happily, like a chilled, her tone changed quickly, "Like you'd give a crab-claw if a shark bit me!" Sesshomaru raised an elegant eye-brow, "Your right," he said, "I wouldn't and would never cear for a wench like you!"

"Humph!" Kagome said she tried walking again, "Jerk!" she grumbled.

"Heard that wench," Sesshomaru said.

"Good!" Kagome yelled back waking up the slumbering camp members.

"Wha--- who?" InuYasha started propping himself up with one elbow rubbing his eye with the other hand. "Smart one wench!" Sesshomaru commented Kagome gave a chilling grin, "Thank you."

"What did you do this time Sesshomaru?" Sango said wirily. Kagome's head turned to Sango then to Kikio, "Really Sesshomaru. She banged her head. Tusk-Tusk!"

"Hay!" Kagome cried but was totally ignored,

"I may have been nicer if you hadn't voted me out of my sleeping bag," he replied, no emotion in his voice or on his face. "When was the last time you did anyone a favor?" Miroku asked.

"Tonight," Sesshomaru said dryly.

"Can we go back to sleep," grumbled the lazy InuYasha.

SLAP!!

The sound echoed threw the clearing, all eyes turned to Kagome her hand was outstretched and had made contact with Miroku's cheek. "Kenka" Kagome screamed. Her hand falling to her side as Miroku took a step back.

"What dose Kenka mean?" InuYasha asked,

"It means pervert," Kagome said, 'Duh! Land people would not know mer-talk!' Kagome scolded herself.

"Come on InuYasha that was an easy guess," Sango sighed.

"How many demons are here?" Kagome suddenly asked.

"HUH!?" InuYasha asked, by now sitting cross legged.

"Just those two," Miroku said, pointing to Sesshomaru and InuYasha. "He's Sesshomaru, that InuYasha. I'm Miroku, that's Sango and that is Kikio."

"Hi nice to meet you," Sango greeted, Kagome nodded slowly. All of a sudden she was shy again.

Just in case people who couldn't figure it out, Miroku's hand went to Kagome's butt and then the natural action went in place! This chapter is important to the to-become-chapter and all. And I forgot to mention Kagome has a marking on her arm and others when she's in her true form.

A special Thank you to
