This was written for the prompt sand. Sorry that it's Saturday and not Friday, my excuse sums up to one word: migraine. Don't forget to review!

She was running towards the ocean, kicking up sand as she went. The water lapped at her ankles as she ran into it, and she would've stopped to admire it had it not been for the fact someone was out there dying.

The water was cool as she swam but she didn't have time to shake as she swam, she just had to swim. Salt water entered her mouth, and she swallowed it because she just didn't have the time to bother with it. Someone was drowning!

When she reached the man, Kagome wrapped her arms around him, glancing around. No one, there was no one in sight. With a sigh, she began to swim, one arm around him. Damn, he was heavy.

When she finally managed to pull him onto the sand, she was instantly straddling his lap, hands on top of his chest, lips against his. She pressed, and breathed past his blue lips. God, please don't let him die. She pushed down again.

Finally he sputtered and rolled over beneath her to spit out water.
