Chapter 26
Senior Beach Week
"Ok. You got room number 261 and I got 262." Kagome said referring to Inuyasha.
"But I thought we were sharing a room?" He pouted.
"Sorry honey. Me and Sango want to share our room. We need some girl time. You can still come over sometime." She smiled.
Inuyasha sighed. "Fine. Fine. I'm gonna get you back for this." He glared.
"Thanks. Come on Sango!" Kagome yelled to Sango. Sango ran up to her after she kissed Miroku on the cheek. They went to their hotel rooms and unpacked. There were some seniors outside on the beach already but all they wanted to do was lay in bed and watch movies. Sitting in abus for 8 hours straight was tiring. They knew the beach was far, but they didn't know it was that far. Kagome still worried a little about what Kikyo had said to her at the movies.
"Warning you Higurashi. You better watch your back at senior beach week."
She never let it get to her, but she knew how much Kikyo hated her for 'taking' her 'boyfriend' Inuyasha. Maybe she was just bluffing and trying to scare her? Oh well...she'd think about this tomarrow when it was bright and early and she wasn't so tired.
-2 days later-
Kagome and Sango woke up to the early warm sun rays shining through the white curtains of the hotel room. It wasn't all that. Just two full sized beds and a t.v and wardrobe with a nice jacuzzi bathroom. After all, it was all the school could afford after that prom they had. The beach was really the sightseeing. It was nice clear blue water with a board walk and clean sand. Not like the ones they usually had with cigarettes and bottles and paper everywhere. They had a section where you could swim with dolphines and another where you could go scupa diving. Of course all four of them would do exciting stuff like that. Kagome and Sango got up and raced to the bathroom. Sango being the more athletic one got there first and laughed while Kagome pouted outside the door. She called in room service and knocked on the connected door from her room to Inuyasha and Mirokus room. No one answered so she figured they were still asleep. She was watching t.v when she heard the water from the bathroom shut off and Sango walked out with her towel. She told Sango to be expecting room service for breakfast and went to take her shower.
Sango was dressing in her new purple and white bikini. The top was triangular shaped that was white with purple floral designs and purple edges and strings that tied around her neck and back. The bottom was a pair of shorts, purple with a white belt that went around her waist and was connected to her bottom bikini shorts. Just so she wouldn't feel too revealing she wore apurple skirt over her bikini shorts and a white wife beater over her top with white flip flops. As Kagome walked out of the bathroom in her towel she put on her sunglasses on top of her head. Kagome got out her bathing suit to dress in when someone knocked on the door.
"I'll get it." Sango said. Kagome nodded and moved away from the view of the door. Sango opened the door and grabbed the trays of toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and orange juice. The smell filled the room and her stomach grumbled.
Kagome finished putting on her bathing suit as Sango closed the door and came back in the room with very good smelling food. She had on her new bathing suit top that had a flower in the middle and was triangular shapped with halter straps. The top bikini part had polka dots of yellow, pink, green, blue, and orange, with a white backround color. The bottom was like Sangos, pink shorts with a belt attached to it that was striped, the colors of pink, green, blue and black. She also put on some jean shorts over her bikini shorts and a white wife beater over her top and white flip flops. Before moving to the bed to eat she put her sunglasses ontop of her head. Both their hair was pulled up in a ponytail.
"You think the guys are up yet?" Sango asked.
Kagome shrugged. "Probably not. They sleep like rocks." Kagome said as she put a toast in her mouth.
"Yeah. True. Well they better get up soon." She said stuffing eggs in her mouth.
After they ate they once again knocked on the guys room door.
"What?" They heard Inuyasha yell.
"Are you ready? We wanna leave and walk on the boardwalk!" Kagome yelled back through the closed door.
"Yeah. We'll be there in a bit. Just gotta get dressed." Inuyasha said. Kagome was about to yell back 'Ok.' when Miroku opened the door and walked into their room before closing it.
"He'll be done soon. Can't find his bathing suit." He rolled his eyes.
"Oh." Kagome and Sango said.
After Inuyasha was done he came into the girls room. Miroku who was sitting on the bed wore his purple and black trunks with a dragon on the bottom left of the left leg and a white tight shirt. Inuyasha ate a peice of left over bacon and kissed Kagomes cheek. He wore his black and red swimming trunks and a white tight shirt with his hair pulled back in a low ponytail.
They left to go walk on the boardwalk again. Like the day before there was teenagers all over the place. At the beach, on the boardwalk, scuba diving and swimming with dolphines. Some even went bungee jumping from the other side of the beach. Miroku and Inuyasha said they would do that but Kagome and Sango said they would never do that and just watch them shit their pants 300 feet in the air. Thankfully they hadn't run into Kikyo...yet. Kagome had stopped thinking about that night at the movies last week and just wanted to have fun. This was her last few days being a senior and she wanted to enjoy them. Inuyasha didn't know anything about what Kikyo had said. Sango had agreed not to tell him, he would just exasgerate and try to protect her 24/7.
-Hotel room 361-
"Naraku! Are you done yet?" Kikyo yelled at her older half brother.
"Shut up!" He yelled back at her glaring.
"Well you've taken forever! I want to make this thing happen now! Listen, I heard them talking. She is going scuba diving tomarrow at noon. I know you've been thinking about using Kanna and her mirror thing but we can easily make a little adjustments in her air tank and she's gone. She deserved that shit anyways."
"I guess we can do that. But you have to make sure no one sees you. If your plan doesn't work we are using my plan. Besides I think my plan is better. Inuyasha would just suffer slowly."
"I don't want to make Inuyasha suffer slowly. I just want to get this over with and kill Kagome."
"Fine. Whatever. Do what you want." Kikyo smiled as Naraku pulled out his cell phone. "Hiten, Manten. I got a job for you. Meet me back in my room."
-Inuyasha and the others-
"AHH! Stop!" Kagome yelled as she was being spinned around in the water. Inuyasha held her around the waist.
"Say sorry!" Inuyasha yelled spinning her around faster.
"Ok! I'm sorry!"
"Sorry for what?"
"I'm sorry for throwing you in the water! Now please! Put me down!" She screamed as Inuyasha finally decided to put her down...dropping her in the water on her butt. "Hey!"
"Hey what?" Inuyasha asked as he smiled and held his hand out to help her up.
"You know what." She glared at him. She took his outstretched hand and with all her strength pulled him into the water beside her. Laughing she got up and started to run not looking back.
"Oh you bitch! You aint running nowhere!" Inuyasha yelled chasing after her laughing. He let her run around for a while until she got tired but she kept on running determined to outrun him. As quick as his hanyou feet, he caught up to her and tackled her into the beach water. They both went under water as he wrapped his arms around her waist. They emerged gasping for air as the waves took them deeper in the ocean.
"That's not fair!" Kagome laughed.
"You started it." Kagome was about to protest but he cut her off with his lips. Like always she melted into his kiss and kissed him back.
Sango looked at the kissing couple from her spot on the sandy ground. Miroku was laying next to her with an arm around her waist, enjoying the bright sun with her.
"I'm guessing Inuyasha hasn't told her yet?" Sango asked.
Miroku sighed and looked to where Sango was looking. "No. Not yet."
"Kagome is going to be so heartbroken when he tells her."
"I don't think he'll go. Sure it's one of the best colleges in the states but do you think he would really leave Kagome here, halfway across the world."
"Well...no. But you're the one who told me he was thinking about taking the chance. I mean he could learn a lot from that college and he has the money. His teachers recommended him to go and he does want to be a physichian. How can he turn down an offer like that?" Sango said looking away from the kissing couple to look at her boyfriend.
"I don't know."
A few moments of silence past by. Sango was thinking about how heartbroken Kagome would be. Inuyasha got accepted into New York University half way across the world and he might be having thoughts of taking up on the offer and moving there. He had told only Miroku about it and Miroku had told Sango but she was to keep her mouth shut. It's hard enough getting them seperated from eachother for a day, how long will these four years last? She looked at Inuyasha and Kagome as they pulled away from their kiss and stayed in eachothers arms. If Inuyasha took this offer, they would both be tore up. They pulled away from eacother and started swimming back to land and then sat next to Sango and Miroku drying themselves off.
"Ready for the scuba diving tomarrow?" Kagome asked excitedly.
Sango planted a smile on her face and pushed away her thoughts about a few moments ago. "Sure am."
"I know! I can't wait! I always wanted to go scuba diving!" Kagome squeeled, excitement dancing in her eyes. Inuyasha looked at her and grinned. Miroku looked bored and tired. Sango was just as excited as Kagome was. They got dressed in their shorts and shirts and went to walk around the boardwalk.
It was starting to get dark out. They shopped for a while before Sango and Miroku decided to split up. It was dark by now and the lights on the boardwalk stores were on lighting the streets and sidewalk. Inuyasha and Kagome bought some ice cream and walked back onto the sandy beach. Kagome held her flip flops in one hand and the other hand was used for her ice cream. Inuyashas arm was draped over her shoulder his shoes dangling from his hand with the ice cream cone in his other hand. Suddenly his mind filled with thoughts of the letter. He got accepted into New York University! Sure it was one of the best schools out there in the state and he got accepted so he should be happy about it right? Then why wasn't he. That thought was easily answered as Kagome filled his head.
'How am I supposed to tell Kagome?' he thought as he finished up his vanilla ice cream. He looked to his side and watched her as she looked out into the ocean, the moonlight shining in her face making her look like a pale blueish color. How was he supposed to leave all this to go to some school half way across the world? Sure it was a big offer and the right side of his mind was telling him to go but who would be here to protect Kagome? She had made plans to go to Tokyo University and assumed he was going there too since he got accepted there also. Unfortunatly, Kagome didn't even know he got accepted into NYU. He only applied because his teachers recommended it and he wanted to know if he was really good enough to make it in. Sure enough he did but the only problem now was...did he really want to go? He thought about the school here and there. NYU sounded better and he could learn more, and learn english. Plus he had always wanted to go to the states and see how it was. Inuyasha thought about what he wanted to do. He wanted to be a doctor of some sort, didnt matter what kind but he knew he wanted to work as a doctor, or P.A. Finally making his decision he decided on it. NYU would be waiting for him once he got back to his house. Of course he didn't want to leave Kagome here. That was the only thing stopping him. But going to NYU could get him a great education and he would graduate in four years. Once again he compared both schools. Tokyo University, or New York University. They both sounded good but NYU was his choice. Now the problem was. How would he tell Kagome about this?
'If I tell Kagome now...I'll just ruin her vacation. I can't tell her now though. That's it. I'll just let her know when we're back home. Tell her I got accepted and I'm planning to move there for the next four years. Fuck! This is gonna be hard.'
"Inuyasha?" He heard Kagome say.
"Yeah?"
He sensed her hesitate a little. "What's...what's going to happen from here?"
He stopped walking and looked at her curiously. What? From here? What happen? "What do you mean?" he asked her.
She finished her last bite of the ice cream cone and swallowed. "I mean. Like from here. College and all. Are we still going to be together? I mean, we are going to TU right?"
Inuyasha gulped. What? Why was she asking this now? Could she have read his thoughts or something and is waiting for him to come out and tell her on his own? No she couldn't do that. Well no use in lying to her now. But it would just ruin their vacation and he just wanted her to be happy even if it was only for now. "Yeah. Of course we'll still be together." He said though he knew it was a lie. She smiled at him sadly and hugged him leaning her head on his chest. He still hadn't answered her other question but she didn't bother asking anyways. Inuyasha hugged her back around the waist and looked out into the ocean. "I love you Kagome." He whispered stroking her hair.
Kagome smiled. "I love you too. Always and forever." She whispered back. After a while of standing there watching the darkness and enjoying the light breeze of the ocean waves they parted and left back to the hotel hand in hand. Sango was sleeping in Miroku's and Inuyasha's room tonight so Inuyasha slept in Kagome's and Sango's room with Kagome. They got changed and got under the blankets falling asleep almost immediatly.
-Couple hours later...3 am-
"Shh!" A long dark haired male voice said.
"Sorry! I don't see anyone around. Let's just get this over with." The other guy said. He had a cone shaped head and barely any hair and looked kinda fat too.
"We can't just 'do it and get it over with'. We have to make sure everything is fine. No fingerprints. No clues. Nothing. Come on Hiten." He said.
"Yeah Yeah." Hiten said. "Hey Manten? What exactly are we doing anyways?" Hiten asked his brother.
"We're just going to make some adjustments here in little miss...what was her name? Oh Kagome! Yeah. Just mess around with her scuba tank. And stuff. The usual. Well that's what Naraku told us to do. Now hurry up before we get caught by security or something."
They walked past the boardwalk all the way to the other side of the beach where the scuba diving was. They picked the lock on the store where they had the tanks and flippers and suits and all that kind of stuff. Hiten and Manten searched around the whole store until they found the four tanks and suits that were schedualed for twelve noon tomarrow. Two male suits and two female suits. They picked out the one that said 'Kagome Higurashi. Shikon Valley High School. 12:00 pm. Thursday.'
"They on a school trip or something?" Manten asked. Hiten just shrugged and put the box of tools on the desk beside them. They started working on the tanks making sure everything looked just fine the way it was once they were done. (ok i aint no criminal here and i have never been near any scuba diving places before so dont ask me what they did. just sumthin with the air tank and less air than needed or sumthin like that. i've never seen or been near a scuba tank before so i have no i dea how they work srry) By the time they were done it was four am and the store would be opening in two hours. They packed up their tools and locked the shop then left in their car back to the hotel they were staying at. Of course it was a different hotel from all the other high schoolers. They stayed about two blocks down in a Days Inn while the high schoolers got the ocean front hotels. By noon their ex-schoolmate Kagome Higurashi wont be breathing anymore.
-Morning-
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Damn alarm clock!" Inuyasha yelled slaming his fist into the now broken alarm. It made a staticky noise then went dead.
"Great Inuyasha. Now we have to pay the hotel for their alarm clock." Kagome said sleepily.
"It woke me up!" He yelled back sitting up.
"That's what it's supposed to do idiot!" Kagome glared. She got up from the bed and went into the bathroom. Inuyasha glared at the alarm clock and went back to sleep. Kagome yelled for him to get up and take his shower once she was out.
Sango and Miroku came over after they were ready. Inuyasha finally got ready last and they all headed for the boardwalk. It was 11:45 and they had fifteen minutes to get to the scuba diving. Kagome and Sango couldn't seem to stop smiling and walked faster with each step. They reached the store and told the person at the stand their names. After they got their suits, they all changed in the changing room. They came out and they scuba assistents helped with the air tanks and other stuff. Once everything was fitted and ready the professional scuba divers showed them how to breath through the mouth peice and all that stuff. Confident that they knew what they were doing they went deep in the water to search for fish.
The girls were having the times of their lives. This was so much fun. Swimming with all different types of fish. Seeing all the different colors and natures of everything. The water was so blue under and clear. By this time they had to be at least 20 or 30 feet under water. Inuyasha check his waterproof watch and signaled they had 20 minutes left to look around before they had to go back up to the surface and get out.
Kagome had wandered off a little ways chasing this pretty blue fish she saw. Inuyasha had been preoccupied with Miroku looking at some weird looking rock that seemed to move. Kagome had a bad feeling. She didn't know what but something bad. She tried to breathe in some air to calm her down but it seemed like she only took a small gasp and it was gone. She tried breathing in some more but it wouldn't come out. Panic quickly took over and she didn't know what to do. She tried to swin up but her foot was tangled in some weird seaweed. She was already running out of air in her lungs and it would take to long to swim to the surface. She looked around for Inuyasha and the others. They were still there and looked like they had no problem with their tanks. Untangling herself from the seaweed she tried to swin up. Her face was turning purple from lack of air. Having no other choice she tried to swim as fast as she could to the surface but only got a quarter of the way before she passed out. It all happend so fast. One minute she was breathing, the next she was surrounded by blackness.
Inuyasha lost interest in the rock looking thing and looked around for Kagome. She wasn't with Sango. He looked back to where him and Miroku were just at and nope, no Kagome there. Suddenly he got this bad feeling and panic overwelmed him. Why wasn't she here? Where was she? He looked all over, up, down, left, and right until his eyes layed upon a figure in the ground. It was way to big to be a fish and kinda far to see what it was. He swam over to it quickly and his eyes widened when he saw it was Kagome lying there on the sandy ocean floor. Even through her mask he could tell her face was purple. What had happend? Did she drown or something? Now wasn't the time for questions. Without looking back for Miroku or Sango he grabbed her around the waist and as quickly as he could under water swam up to the surface. Once up there he pulled her body up to the dock.
"HEY! HELP! CALL THE AMBULANCE!" Inuyasha yelled at anyone. A crowd started to form around them but he didn't care. All he cared about right now was Kagome. He laid her down gently on the floor of the dock and felt her pulse. There was nothing there. She just layed there still. Not breathing or anything. Tears started to form in his eyes but he held them back. "Kagome. Baby. Wake up. Please wake up." He begged gently slapping her cheek. She didn't move. A lifeguard with the firstaid kit ran over to them and leaned down.
"How long has she been down there?" he asked.
"I...I don't know." Inuyasha said. He was too shocked to talk right now. How the hell did this happen? He focused on her face as he let the life guard do his job.
"Alright. You know how to do CPR?" The lifeguard asked him. Inuyasha nodded not looking at him. "Ok then. I need you to breathe for her when I say so." Inuyasha leaned down next to her. The lifeguard pumped her chest 10 times. "Go!" Inuyasha leaned down, pinching her nose and gave her as much air as he could careful not to give her too much though. The lifeguard pumped on her chest 10 more times. "Go!" He said as Inuyasha repeated the process. The ambulance came and rushed over to them.
Seeing no progress in Kagome, Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. The few tears he was holding back, he let them go slowly. "Kagome! Please! Wake up! Don't leave me! I told you last night we would always be together! You can't leave me now! Please baby, wake up!" He yelled. The lifeguard repeated pumping her chest again and told Inuyasha to breathe for her. He did this again but still nothing happen.
'Kagome...Please don't die on me...Don't leave me now.'
Chapter 26
Senior Beach Week
"Ok. You got room number 261 and I got 262." Kagome said referring to Inuyasha.
"But I thought we were sharing a room?" He pouted.
"Sorry honey. Me and Sango want to share our room. We need some girl time. You can still come over sometime." She smiled.
Inuyasha sighed. "Fine. Fine. I'm gonna get you back for this." He glared.
"Thanks. Come on Sango!" Kagome yelled to Sango. Sango ran up to her after she kissed Miroku on the cheek. They went to their hotel rooms and unpacked. There were some seniors outside on the beach already but all they wanted to do was lay in bed and watch movies. Sitting in abus for 8 hours straight was tiring. They knew the beach was far, but they didn't know it was that far. Kagome still worried a little about what Kikyo had said to her at the movies.

"Yeah. We'll be there in a bit. Just gotta get dressed." Inuyasha said. Kagome was about to yell back 'Ok.' when Miroku opened the door and walked into their room before closing it.
"He'll be done soon. Can't find his bathing suit." He rolled his eyes.
"Oh." Kagome and Sango said.
After Inuyasha was done he came into the girls room. Miroku who was sitting on the bed wore his purple and black trunks with a dragon on the bottom left of the left leg and a white tight shirt.

"AHH! Stop!" Kagome yelled as she was being spinned around in the water. Inuyasha held her around the waist.

He looked to his side and watched her as she looked out into the ocean, the moonlight shining in her face making her look like a pale blueish color. How was he supposed to leave all this to go to some school half way across the world? Sure it was a big offer and the right side of his mind was telling him to go but who would be here to protect Kagome? She had made plans to go to Tokyo University and assumed he was going there too since he got accepted there also. Unfortunatly, Kagome didn't even know he got accepted into NYU. He only applied because his teachers recommended it and he wanted to know if he was really good enough to make it in. Sure enough he did but the only problem now was...did he really want to go? He thought about the school here and there. NYU sounded better and he could learn more, and learn english. Plus he had always wanted to go to the states and see how it was. Inuyasha thought about what he wanted to do. He wanted to be a doctor of some sort, didnt matter what kind but he knew he wanted to work as a doctor, or P.A. Finally making his decision he decided on it. NYU would be waiting for him once he got back to his house. Of course he didn't want to leave Kagome here. That was the only thing stopping him. But going to NYU could get him a great education and he would graduate in four years. Once again he compared both schools. Tokyo University, or New York University. They both sounded good but NYU was his choice. Now the problem was. How would he tell Kagome about this?
'If I tell Kagome now...I'll just ruin her vacation. I can't tell her now though. That's it. I'll just let her know when we're back home. Tell her I got accepted and I'm planning to move there for the next four years. Fuck! This is gonna be hard.'
"Inuyasha?" He heard Kagome say.
"Yeah?"
He sensed her hesitate a little. "What's...what's going to happen from here?"
He stopped walking and looked at her curiously. What? From here? What happen? "What do you mean?" he asked her.
She finished her last bite of the ice cream cone and swallowed. "I mean. Like from here. College and all. Are we still going to be together? I mean, we are going to TU right?"
Inuyasha gulped. What? Why was she asking this now? Could she have read his thoughts or something and is waiting for him to come out and tell her on his own? No she couldn't do that. Well no use in lying to her now. But it would just ruin their vacation and he just wanted her to be happy even if it was only for now. "Yeah. Of course we'll still be together." He said though he knew it was a lie. She smiled at him sadly and hugged him leaning her head on his chest. He still hadn't answered her other question but she didn't bother asking anyways. Inuyasha hugged her back around the waist and looked out into the ocean. "I love you Kagome." He whispered stroking her hair.
Kagome smiled. "I love you too. Always and forever." She whispered back. After a while of standing there watching the darkness and enjoying the light breeze of the ocean waves they parted and left back to the hotel hand in hand. Sango was sleeping in Miroku's and Inuyasha's room tonight so Inuyasha slept in Kagome's and Sango's room with Kagome. They got changed and got under the blankets falling asleep almost immediatly.
-Couple hours later...3 am-
"Shh!" A long dark haired male voice said.
"Sorry! I don't see anyone around. Let's just get this over with." The other guy said. He had a cone shaped head and barely any hair and looked kinda fat too.
"We can't just 'do it and get it over with'. We have to make sure everything is fine. No fingerprints. No clues. Nothing. Come on Hiten." He said.
"Yeah Yeah." Hiten said. "Hey Manten? What exactly are we doing anyways?" Hiten asked his brother.
"We're just going to make some adjustments here in little miss...what was her name? Oh Kagome! Yeah. Just mess around with her scuba tank. And stuff. The usual. Well that's what Naraku told us to do. Now hurry up before we get caught by security or something."
They walked past the boardwalk all the way to the other side of the beach where the scuba diving was. They picked the lock on the store where they had the tanks and flippers and suits and all that kind of stuff. Hiten and Manten searched around the whole store until they found the four tanks and suits that were schedualed for twelve noon tomarrow. Two male suits and two female suits. They picked out the one that said 'Kagome Higurashi. Shikon Valley High School. 12:00 pm. Thursday.'
"They on a school trip or something?" Manten asked. Hiten just shrugged and put the box of tools on the desk beside them. They started working on the tanks making sure everything looked just fine the way it was once they were done. (ok i aint no criminal here and i have never been near any scuba diving places before so dont ask me what they did. just sumthin with the air tank and less air than needed or sumthin like that. i've never seen or been near a scuba tank before so i have no i dea how they work srry) By the time they were done it was four am and the store would be opening in two hours. They packed up their tools and locked the shop then left in their car back to the hotel they were staying at. Of course it was a different hotel from all the other high schoolers. They stayed about two blocks down in a Days Inn while the high schoolers got the ocean front hotels. By noon their ex-schoolmate Kagome Higurashi wont be breathing anymore.
-Morning-
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Damn alarm clock!" Inuyasha yelled slaming his fist into the now broken alarm. It made a staticky noise then went dead.
"Great Inuyasha. Now we have to pay the hotel for their alarm clock." Kagome said sleepily.
"It woke me up!" He yelled back sitting up.
"That's what it's supposed to do idiot!" Kagome glared. She got up from the bed and went into the bathroom. Inuyasha glared at the alarm clock and went back to sleep. Kagome yelled for him to get up and take his shower once she was out.
Sango and Miroku came over after they were ready. Inuyasha finally got ready last and they all headed for the boardwalk. It was 11:45 and they had fifteen minutes to get to the scuba diving. Kagome and Sango couldn't seem to stop smiling and walked faster with each step. They reached the store and told the person at the stand their names. After they got their suits, they all changed in the changing room. They came out and they scuba assistents helped with the air tanks and other stuff. Once everything was fitted and ready the professional scuba divers showed them how to breath through the mouth peice and all that stuff. Confident that they knew what they were doing they went deep in the water to search for fish.
The girls were having the times of their lives. This was so much fun. Swimming with all different types of fish. Seeing all the different colors and natures of everything. The water was so blue under and clear. By this time they had to be at least 20 or 30 feet under water. Inuyasha check his waterproof watch and signaled they had 20 minutes left to look around before they had to go back up to the surface and get out.
Kagome had wandered off a little ways chasing this pretty blue fish she saw. Inuyasha had been preoccupied with Miroku looking at some weird looking rock that seemed to move. Kagome had a bad feeling. She didn't know what but something bad. She tried to breathe in some air to calm her down but it seemed like she only took a small gasp and it was gone. She tried breathing in some more but it wouldn't come out. Panic quickly took over and she didn't know what to do. She tried to swin up but her foot was tangled in some weird seaweed. She was already running out of air in her lungs and it would take to long to swim to the surface. She looked around for Inuyasha and the others. They were still there and looked like they had no problem with their tanks. Untangling herself from the seaweed she tried to swin up. Her face was turning purple from lack of air. Having no other choice she tried to swim as fast as she could to the surface but only got a quarter of the way before she passed out. It all happend so fast. One minute she was breathing, the next she was surrounded by blackness.
Inuyasha lost interest in the rock looking thing and looked around for Kagome. She wasn't with Sango. He looked back to where him and Miroku were just at and nope, no Kagome there. Suddenly he got this bad feeling and panic overwelmed him. Why wasn't she here? Where was she? He looked all over, up, down, left, and right until his eyes layed upon a figure in the ground. It was way to big to be a fish and kinda far to see what it was. He swam over to it quickly and his eyes widened when he saw it was Kagome lying there on the sandy ocean floor. Even through her mask he could tell her face was purple. What had happend? Did she drown or something? Now wasn't the time for questions. Without looking back for Miroku or Sango he grabbed her around the waist and as quickly as he could under water swam up to the surface. Once up there he pulled her body up to the dock.
"HEY! HELP! CALL THE AMBULANCE!" Inuyasha yelled at anyone. A crowd started to form around them but he didn't care. All he cared about right now was Kagome. He laid her down gently on the floor of the dock and felt her pulse. There was nothing there. She just layed there still. Not breathing or anything. Tears started to form in his eyes but he held them back. "Kagome. Baby. Wake up. Please wake up." He begged gently slapping her cheek. She didn't move. A lifeguard with the firstaid kit ran over to them and leaned down.
"How long has she been down there?" he asked.
"I...I don't know." Inuyasha said. He was too shocked to talk right now. How the hell did this happen? He focused on her face as he let the life guard do his job.
"Alright. You know how to do CPR?" The lifeguard asked him. Inuyasha nodded not looking at him. "Ok then. I need you to breathe for her when I say so." Inuyasha leaned down next to her. The lifeguard pumped her chest 10 times. "Go!" Inuyasha leaned down, pinching her nose and gave her as much air as he could careful not to give her too much though. The lifeguard pumped on her chest 10 more times. "Go!" He said as Inuyasha repeated the process. The ambulance came and rushed over to them.
Seeing no progress in Kagome, Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. The few tears he was holding back, he let them go slowly. "Kagome! Please! Wake up! Don't leave me! I told you last night we would always be together! You can't leave me now! Please baby, wake up!" He yelled. The lifeguard repeated pumping her chest again and told Inuyasha to breathe for her. He did this again but still nothing happen.
'Kagome...Please don't die on me...Don't leave me now.'
