A few days later

Kagome clenched a bucket of fish in her hands, biting her lip. She straightened her back and glanced down at her blue and black wetsuit before getting into the tank with Flippy.

"Hey, boy." She said comfortingly. Flippy swam up to her, his head poking up through the water. He clicked happily, making Kagome smile. "I have your dinner." She informed, taking out a fish and tossing it up. Leaping out of the water, Flippy did a flip(hehe) and caught the fish in his mouth before diving down. Kagome giggled and continued to feed the sweet mammal. Placing the last fish in front of Flippy, Kagome placed the bucket away as the dolphin ate from her hand.

"Flippy's taken a shine to you." Kagome looked up to see Derek. "I'm glad you're his trainer now. Better than that last one." Kagome nodded in agreement as Flippy swam around her, brushing against her sides affectionately.

"I can't believe anyone would hurt him." Kagome frowned as she stared at Flippy's bandaged eye. Kneeling down, she spread her arms and Flippy sprinted into her arms, nuzzling her neck and chin softly. Her hand ran over the smooth flesh of his head gently and she placed a kiss on his nose. Flippy whistled before swimming in circles, telling her he wanted to try the ring again. "Really? You want to try it?" Kagome bit her lip uncertainty. Flippy poked his head up to the air and nodded. "Okay, if you're sure." Kagome brought out the hoop and held it up, unlike the before trainer. He'd just hang it up high and not let Flippy work up to it.

"I think you're doing great." Derek said as Flippy began swimming around the water quickly. Then, he leaped through the hoop, landing in the water with a happy squeal.

"Brilliant, Flippy!" Kagome clapped her hands, praising the mammal. Flippy began splashing about before nudging the hoop. "Fire? Really?" Kagome bit her lip. "But... If you're sure. Please, be careful." She held the hoop high before setting it on fire. Flippy flowed through the water at a fast pace before leaping through the hoop. Kagome shut her eyes, worried for the dolphin. When a splash and a squeal entered her ears, Kagome opened her eyes to see Flippy was all right. He joyfully leaped through the air and back into the water repeatedly. "Flippy, you did it! I'm so proud of you!"

"Well done, Flippy!" Derek praised. "And it's all thanks to you, Kagome!"

"Oh, really, I was just supporting him. Flippy did this all by himself." Kagome smiled when Flippy brushed against her stomach. Flippy squeaked his thanks and dove into the water. "Well, Coney Island's closing up. I'll finish up here, Derek. See you tomorrow."

"Bye, Kagome." Derek waved. "Bye Flippy." The man headed off and Kagome petted Flippy before stepping out of the tank. She was going to close up this week, so she was all alone.

"Hey, new trainer." A man's voice caught her attention. She looked up and she stared at a man with shaggy blond hair and amber eyes. He smirked at her. Clearing her throat, Kagome spoke.

"Coney Island is just closing up, sir. I suggest you please leave, no more shows today." Kagome looked away, petting Flippy.

"Hey, cutie, what do you say on a little date? You and me." The man growled possessively. A shiver ran down Kagome's back.

"No, thanks. I don't date strangers. Now, please leave." Kagome quickly stepped into the tank when the stranger followed her.

"You will go on a date with me." The man snarled, clutching her shoulder.

"Stop, you're hurting me!" Kagome cried out, grunting as she tried to pull away from his grasp.

(Slight attempted rape starts now. If you don't like that, don't read this bit)

He tried to pull on her wetsuit, making her scream.

"What are you doing, you pervert?!" She yelled, thrashing harder as he tried to kiss her. He tugged the wetsuit until her shoulder was shown.

"I WILL have you. One way or another, bitch." The man cussed, trying to remove her wetsuit. Kagome let out a scream and suddenly he was knocked off his feet.

(End of attempted rape)

Flippy shoved the man away from his trainer, protecting her.

"F-Flippy?" Kagome exclaimed. Flippy watched the man get up and lunge towards Kagome. The mammal jumped into the air, smacking the man with his tail.

"Fuck! Your dolphin's strong! I'm outta here!" The stranger ran off, leaving a stunned Kagome and an angry Flippy. He nuzzled Kagome's stomach and she looked down at him.

"Oh, Flippy. Thank you so much." She mumbled, clutching her hands to her chest. Breathing deeply, Kagome stepped out the tank and went to get changed out of her wetsuit, slightly shaken up with the event. She was glad she had Flippy.

Collecting her stuff, Kagome headed back to Flippy to give him a goodbye.

"Flippy!" Kagome called, patting the water. Flippy immediately went to her side. She patted his soft head before placing a gentle kiss over his injured eye. "Thank you, again. I can't tell you how much I am glad to know you. I'll see you tomorrow. Good bye." With a wave, Kagome exited Coney Island and locked up before catching a taxi to go back to her apartment.

After dinner, she was lying in her bed, thinking back to Flippy.

"He protected me. Is this because I protected him?" Kagome thought, turning onto her side. "I hope he rests well tonight. Tomorrow, we should practice on the ring of fire, despite how much I don't want him to. Poor thing." Closing her eyes, Kagome drifted off to sleep.
