InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ One Fish, Two Fish ( Chapter 11 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
So I decided to take a stab at a drabble series. I have been largely inspired by my favorite authoress, Forthright. I highly suggest you check out her stuff. Its amazing! This particular idea was given to me as I listened to "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley.
Explanation: This series will follow the first year of the newly mated couple of Kagome and Inuyasha. It will be small highlights throughout their relationship, moments when they remind each other why they love one another.
Disclaimer: I claim no ownership over these characters. They belong to the lovely Rumiko Takahashi! I just like to borrow them from time to time.
Updates will be short! You can expect to see a few updates a week unless otherwise noted. Now on with the show!
Little Moments – One Fish, Two Fish
“Kagome, come on, you can do it.”
The little miko stood on the shore, shaking her head frantically. Inuyasha held his hand out to her, beckoning her out into the water. He wasn't out very far, waves lapping gently at his knees. His nervous mate stood firmly just out of reach of the water, toes curling in the sand. She absently chewed her lip, a habit that never ceased to endear her to him.
The hanyou sighed. “Kagome, do you seriously think anything will get you with me in the water?” he attempted to soothe her with a toothy grin.
Kagome steeled her nerves. She trusted him, really she did, but that was the problem with phobias, they weren't rational! Carefully she stepped forward, her attention focused solely on his outstretched hand. As she moved, Inuyasha studiously tried to ignore just how nice she looked even in her modest one piece suit. 'We're trying to be supportive idiot, stop oogling!'
“That's my girl” he cheered, grabbing her hand and pulling her into his arms. With the miko tucked protectively in his grasp, Inuyasha walked further into deeper water.
Kagome tensed as ocean water surged up to surround her body. Wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, she took a deep breath and tried to calm down. There was nothing wrong with being in the water. She knew how to swim. In fact, she had even been on the swim team in both high school and college. No, she loved the water. It was what lived in the water that had her quaking in her boots, so to speak.
Inuyasha chuckled, drawing her out of her thoughts. “I told you you wouldn't have to worry about anything with me here.”
He gestured to the water in their vicinity. Kagome looked around, trying to figure out what he meant. The water was crystal clear. She could see everything; rocks, shells, plants, a lost pair of sun glasses...but no fish.
“Oh!” she gasped, eyes flying to his face in question.
“Keh. No one wants to mess with the Big Dog!” he smirked.
Kagome rolled her eyes at his antics and flicked his nose. “Oh please.”
Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow, playfully loosening his grip on her. “Hey, I could always leave you here and jump to the shore. Let's see how long those fish stay away shall we?”
Kagome tightened her hold on the cocky half demon. “No! I'm sorry...please stay.”
“Well since you asked so nicely,” he leered, “I suppose I'll stick around to keep those evil fishies at bay.”
A few moments passed with the two simply enjoying the feel of each others embrace and the warm currents of the sea. Kagome suddenly turned and narrowed her gaze on her mate. “You do realize that once we are on land again I am going to get you for teasing me.”
Inuyasha grinned cheekily. “Yup. Totally worth it.”
A/N: Poor Kags. I am so afraid of things touching me when I'm in the water haha. I'm such a basket case when I go in the ocean. My husband thinks I'm a nut. Anyone else have weird phobias? Hope you enjoyed this update! Special thanks to recent reviewers sutlesarcasm, inuyashaloverr, and SplendentGoddess! I'm so glad you guys liked the Easter special ^_^
