While she was immortal and had what they called nine lives, she could die. Two by two, they went.

"Come, I will see to it that you don't drown," Kagura offered.

"Kaugra," Came Sesshomaru's voice,

"Hia?"

"I believe she is my wife, or have you taken a liking to her?"

Kagome raised an eyebrow and watched as Kagura snatched out her fan. "Very well, she is all yours, my Lord." With his nose high, she took to the water and vanished.

"I would have been fine with Kaugra; shouldn't you be with Ocaeana?"

"It is nice to see that you are not the jealous type."

He offered his hand to help her into the boat; she took it. "Jealous of what my Lord?" She would play his game. He got in, and the boat moved on its own accord.

"They seem quite fond of one another, do they not?" He asked,

"To a degree, unlike me, they were bred for a life like this."

The boat stopped. "No woman wants to share, not really," He said,

"No one in love anyway," She responded.

"I do not need their love."

"You do not have to worry about me being jealous, my Lord."

"Be aware, though they seem calm and cool when it comes to lust and seed, they will become cats."

At that, she was stumped, and he took that time to pull her close to him.

"Normally, I would say breath," He said,

"Hu?"

The boat started to sink,

"Don't breathe, Miko, lest you die."

A slight panic started to rise in her "Sesshomaru,"

"Hold your breath."

She held her breath, and he held her.

They sank down, and Kagome opened her eyes and looked around. Down they went into the darkness. Then she didn't feel him anymore, and panic set in, and she made the mistake of opening her mouth to call for him.

Water rushed in, and she began to choke.

Then darkness made way to light, and blue water sparkled, and her eyes got wide as a mermaid swan to her.

Kagome reached out, the beautiful mermaid took Kagome by the face and pressed her lips to hers. At first, Kagome fought, then she realized the creature of beauty was breathing for her. The mermaid brought her closer to what looked like a bubble, they floated above it, and then the mermaid released her mouth, smiled at her, and pushed her into the bubble.

Kagome fell at Sesshomaru's feet, soaking wet and coughing. She looked up at him. How was he dry?

"You did that on purpose, didn't you!"

"I was under the impression you could swim,"

"I can!" She huffed while ringing out her hair, "A fish kissed me!"

"It was quite a sight," He stated,

She glared at him. "What, didn't get as lucky as me?" She teased.

"Do not insult my people,"

Kagome froze at the sound of a male's voice. Sesshomaru turned and bowed his head ever so slightly.

"Is this the reason my daughter comes so dishonored?"

"Your daughter dishonored herself," Sesshomaru spoke.

"I can not believe the rumor is true; another human in the Inu household, what was your father thinking?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me, lass?"

Kagome raised an eyebrow at the name, " I'm sorry, forgive me, you are?"

"How dare you!" The man sneered then looked at Sesshomaru, "Why did you bring this woman, she needs a good lesson!" The man raised the cain stick he was holding and was about to strike her with it, but as soon as it came down it, was caught.

Kagome had closed her eyes, and she thought she would open them to Sesshomaru saving her, but it wasn't him.

"Father, I am sure the lack of oxygen is to blame for her misunderstanding." It was another male, and at his back was the Triton. Kagome knew the older man was the God of the ocean and the other the rightful son of the throne.

"Am I right fair Lady Miko?"

Her lips quivered, and then she bowed deeply. "Forgive me, the travel here was quite a shock,"

"And the kiss from the mermaid as well, I am sure," The man smiled and released his father's hand.

Kagome eeped, "Saw that did you?"

He smiled more. For a man with light blue skin, he was handsome. He was built with gold bracelets on his upper arms and wrist. He moved closer to her "You have eyes of water, what a rare beauty," He said making Kagome blush. His eye were blue to.

"My son, this is most inappropriate!"

"Is it? I only offer Lord Sesshomaru my congratulations." He turned to Sesshomaru. "I am pleased you could all make it; I do miss my sister."

Sesshomaru didn't look impressed.
