"KAGOME!" He screamed down as he saw nothing but ripples that were quickly diminished by the waves. He was about to climb over as well, obviously planning on jumping in after her, but before the thought processed through, the doors behind him busted open by four guards, and when they saw the prince starting to climb the ledge, they quickly grabbed him and restrained him back.

"LET GO OF ME, KAGOME FELL OFF THE LEDGE!" He screamed, punching one of the guards in the face and shifting his way out of their grip, but then suddenly he heard a woman's voice

"Son, stop!"

Inuyasha looked back quickly, still in shock of what happened, and looked at his mother. "Mom, please, Kagome is in the ocean! We need to go in and save her!"

Izayoi walked over the ledge and saw how far down the ledge was from the water. "Son, no one can survive that large of a drop. And seeing as she hasn't come back up… Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry."

Inuyasha stared at his mother in disbelief "No. No, I refuse to believe she's dead. I don't know how, but I cannot believe she's dead."

"Inuyasha, listen to reason, we are a good half a mile high from the shore, and there are rocks everywhere at the bottom. If she didn't die by drowning, she would hav-"

"STOP IT. SHES NOT DEAD, I KNOW SHES NOT!" With that, he stormed away, walking into his room, with anything but a dry face.

As soon as she hit the water, there was a glow around her, that transformed her back into a mermaid within seconds. She swam as fast as she could away from the surface, with the ocean hiding her tears.

'he loves me. Why did it have to be him? Why did it have to be now!' she mentally complained. She headed towards her underwater palace, which was probably a good days away, so she had a long way to go.

She was swimming for what seemed like hours, which in reality was only a few short minutes, when she was stopped.

"Kagome! Kagome, over here!"

She turned around and saw Yue with Sakura behind her

"Yue! Sakura!" She swam towards them "How are you guys?"

Sakura scoffed "You know, you only saw us like a few hours ago!"

"Sakura, for once, be nice please?" Yue softly asked. She swam up to Kagome "You need to come with us. Naraku has struck your kingdom, and has your father hostage."

"WHAT?! We have to help him Yue! I thought that when I was on the surface, I could hear him screaming in pain" "That's weird, maybe with that spell you have, you can hear things normal folk can't?" "I can't imagine how that would work, but it's better than no explanation." Kagome replied back.

"Have you been experiencing other things?"

"Just dreams, but it's more like memories that I couldn't remember before."

"I have a theory, maybe your powers work best when your human since you obtained the spell as a human?"

"That… kind of makes sense? I honestly have no clue."

Sakura stepped in "Sorry to budge in on this convo, but we have a serious issue! The king is captured, the palace in under Naraku's control, all he is doing is waiting for what he truly wants!"

"Whats that?" Kagome asked, unsure if she wanted to hear the answer or not.

Sakura answered annoyed. "Ugh isn't it obvious? You! He wants you and your powers! You cant give it away, not after it being in your body for so long. The only way from what we know, is if he takes your life and drinks your blood, since the spell is most likely in your bloodstream."

Kagome gasped "You… you don't think he'd really do that, would you?"

"OF COURSE HE WOULD! HE KILLED OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR IT! WE ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT OF OUR KIND! HE WILL KILL YOU AND ENJOY IT! Because that is who he is! You need to start realizing this isn't some princess in a game, ok? This is life, and you need to grow a fucking pear!"

Yue yelled at Sakura "THAT IS ENOUGH SAKURA! I am getting real sick and tired of your bullshit attitude! All you have ever done is complain about everything, well your tone and everything that comes out of your mouth never helps anything! You just keep talking and think everyone is beneath you! You are still my younger sister, and don't you ever forget that!"

Sakura was taken about from her sister's outbreak, and decided to shut up for once.

Yue took a deep breath and continued for Sakura. "Anyways, She is right, the spell is in your bloodstream. And that is the easiest way for Naraku to obtain the spell. That is all he needs to fit these spells like puzzle pieces and then once he has all the pieces, which he has all but one of course, he'll be next to unstoppable."

"But we need to save my father!"

"And we will, Naraku doesn't want your father so he's definitely safe for now, he just wants you."

Kagome thought for a moment "What do I have to do?"

Sakura stepped back in "Naraku has very little weaknesses. The only logical thing we can do is remove the spells from him if possible, which won't be that hard to do. Getting close to him is the hard part."

"What if… I distract him somehow?"

Yue shook her head "That won't help. We need him to stand still, not have him chasing after you."

"Well we need to think of something! I don't want my father being trapped forever in the clutches of such a mad man!"

"Well, one thing for certain, you don't know how to use your powers quite yet, and with our theory, you need to go back on land and practice as much as you can. We will help of course as often as we can, but we have to be extra careful and we need to watch over Mae in case Naraku tries to use her or something like that."

"Wait, back on land?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Well, Apparently everyone thinks I'm the lost princess of the Western Kingdom and I'm being forced to marry Inuyasha."

"Forced? I thought you loved him?"

"I NEVER SAID THAT!"

Yue smirked "Kagome, it is obvious you care a lot about him. Ask him for some help. Maybe he could be of good use to you? To us even. It's rare we have human allies. "

"I can't go back, it was the hardest thing in the world to leave him behind."

"All I'm saying is, he saved your life. Maybe you owe him."

"I can't go back. Not after how I left. I won't be able to look at him anymore."

"If that's the case, just practice off shore. Just for a short while. Its nearly dawn, stay with us until dark, we don't want to practice when the sun could easily sell us out."
