InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Being a child again ❯ chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

It was Kagome's voice. Kagome...she was with them. That probably meant that they were armed. And that also meant that this would be a wonderful chance to get her back. He slowly made his way back to the others.

 

(With Kagome and the others)

 

As they were playing in the water Kanna suddenly felt something change. She looked over at her mirror and saw that it had an image in it.

 

“Come back Kanna!” Called Kagome playfully as Kanna swam to shore. “No time to stop now!”

 

But Kanna ignored her and got out of the water before picking up the mirror. For a moment she just stared at it.

 

“Kagura,” she said. “We need to leave.”

 

“Huh?” Kagura said, confused. “Why? We've only caught a few fish.”

 

“Look.” Kanna said and held up the mirror. “It's…them…”

 

“Who?” Kagome asked, treading water near them in a deep part of the stream. “Who's and where?”

 

But neither girl answered her, Kagura only said, “Get out of the water, Kagome, we're not safe here.”

 

“Why not?” Kagome said, still treading water. “Is there a demon? Let's kill it then!”

 

“Just get out of the damn water!” Kagura said, picking up the lines and the fish.

 

“Jeeze.” Kagome said. “Touchy.”

 

She threw her arm forward to start going to shore…but she didn't move. She felt something curl around her leg and in the next moment she was being pulled under.

 

“Help!” Kagome cried when she surfaced again for a few moments. “Kagura! Kanna! Something's got me!”

 

Both of the girls, without even getting undressed, plunged back into the stream and swam out to Kagome. But they weren't fast enough. She was again pulled under and neither Kagura nor Kanna could see her.

 

“Where is she?” Kagura said, searching around franticly. “Can you see her?”

 

“No.” Kanna said, worry in her usually neutral voice. “I think she went down around here though.”

 

They were searching as fast as they could, knowing that every second that Kagome was under water, she would be losing more and more air. They had to find her, and soon. But, as luck would have it, they weren't so lucky.

 

Suddenly, out of the grass on the other side of the bank, something sprang out and into the water, straight down into the water where Kagome had gone down.
