The Mysterious Pearl by Sesshy's Angel

The Secret Meeting

The Mysterious Pearl (Might change)

***

"Get out! You are such a useless daughter! Leave!"

Kagome stared blankly at the sea floor before turning up her lilac tail and rapidly swimming out of the little situation. Her mother was once again mad at her. Normally, Kagome would head towards her room and sit in silence, but today, Kagome didn't want to. She swam up to the water line and watched the sunset.

"I'm a good daughter," Kagome whispered to herself. Kagome is, indeed, a good daughter. She consistently obtained high grades and joined in clubs. She remained among the top 10 students of the only mermaid school. And there was, at least, over a thousand students in her grade. Even when testing, her scores are higher than the princesses that receive education from well-trained teachers.

Not to mention her club activities. She was a member of the interact club, which helps those in need among mermaid society. Lacrosse and chorus are also things that Kagome participated in. She was never a troublemaker and her work ethic is incredible.

Kagome not only handles school, but also keeps a busy schedule. On the weekends, she works Saturdays and take cares of her little sister on Sundays. It is a wonder how she manages her time. Some hints are: late nights and sleeping in class. She doesn't mean to sleep in class, but the teachers don't mind and she always gets everything done on time without any extensions.

"I don't understand. Perhaps it would be because I'm the middle daughter," Kagome questioned. "The son always gets attention, even if they are the middle child also." She gave a 'psh' and then floated on her back to watch the sun.

Kagome is the second child out of four. She is tied in the middle with her brat of a brother.

"He gets a B and a cheerful applause along with a new gadget. I get a low A and it's the end of the world!" Kagome's lilac eyes drifted close as she gave a deep sigh. "All I did today was take a nap... She didn't have to yell at me like I set the house on fire." Kagome pondered on what she said. Then gave a burst of laughter. "That would be the day. 'A mermaid set her house on fire millions of miles under the big blue sea'."

Kagome gave another sigh and tossed a glace at the shore. There was seemed to be a single family playing in the sand. Well, at least the little girl was playing in the sand. The seemingly father figure was standing there, watching his daughter.

"He's got nice hair," Kagome said, staring at his long white. It fluttered with the wind as a soft breeze blew by, giving the water a gentle toss. "That is unusual. For a human to have such long, white hair and not be old. He must be a demon."

Kagome gave a thought on it. "But that girl seems to be human. How weird the land dwellers are." Her lilac eyes continued to watch the pair before witnessing a troublesome scene.

Sesshomaru and Rin were out on the shore, being the only ones left after the tourists were banned for committing actions that violated the island and the locals. It cannot be said what the tourists did. And the locals knew better then to bother the shores with Sesshomaru were around.

Rin was inching closer to the water line, following a trail of seashells. Unbeknownst to the little innocent angel, it was a trap. Just as she was about to pick up an interestingly silver shell, the water before her parted. An octopus demon decided to leap forward with its tentacles to surprise-attack the girl.

The octopus must have been brainless because Sesshomaru grabbed the girl and sat her down on the sand yards away from the horrid thing in record timing. The octopus screamed in anger and sent all his tentacles toward the taiyouki. Sesshomaru dodged with ease before forming an acid whip and decapitation the octopus and chopping off all it's appendages.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin shouted, running towards her 'father'. It would seem that Sesshomaru received a small but deep puncture from the demon. He fell forward and the water began to drag him in. He was unconscious and didn't seem to be waking soon.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin stopped right at the shoreline, remembering her lord's words about not entering dangerous waters. "Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin watched him drift a little before sinking down. She fell to her knees and cried. She tried desperately to stop her tears, for her lord said that tears were a weakness. When most of hear tears were out, she glanced up for a miracle and that is exactly what she received.

Kagome witnessed the whole terrifying scene. Normally, octopus demons stayed at the bottom of the sea and had great intelligence. They were usually un-social creatures. With wide eyes, Kagome just watched the beautiful demon being pulled down by the currents. When she got to her senses, she swam towards the demon with speed that she never knew she had.

Kagome reached the demon and began to pull him up to shore by his right arm. As she reached the shore, she remembered about the little girl. Kagome set the demon in a comfortable position and then waited for the little girl to notice her. That little girl is not even of 10 years yet. To see such a scene, it was tragic.

The little girl gasped, her round brown eyes widening at the sight of the mythical creature.

"No more crying," Kagome said with a soft voice, giving the girl a comforting smile. "I'll save him." Kagome turned back to her patient. The octopus must have released ink while his tentacle was in the dog demon. That was the only way a demon would fall unconscious in such a short time.

Kagome placed her hand on the hole and watched the beautiful demon give a small reaction to her touch. Kagome inspected the hole before pushing down at a single spot. Black ink could be seen leaking out of the hole. The mermaid gave a small grimace as she caught a whiff the black poison. When most of the poison was released, Kagome placed her hand over the hole and then lowered her head towards the demon.

When she was a breath away, Kagome closed her eyes and let her soft lips connect with the dog demon. Kagome's lips gave off energy and poured into Sesshomaru though his lips. Soon enough, Kagome lifted up and glanced down at her hands. They were glowing a soft purple. Her hand was then lifted off the hole to reveal perfect skin.

"Thank you Mermaid-san," Rin said. Her eyes were slightly glistening with crystal tears.

"Come here," Kagome said with a little motion of her hands. Rin took a cautious step towards her lord and the mermaid. Kagome reached behind her own neck and unclasped a silver chained necklace with a small clamshell and a single lilac pearl. The pearl matched Kagome's eyes and her tail color.

Rin stared in awe as Kagome slipped the necklace over her neck. A mermaid was giving her a necklace. A mermaid!

"You mustn't tell anyone ok? It will be our little secret," Kagome said.

"P-pinky promise!" Rin shouted, giving out her pinky. She started out shaky, before ending strong with her words.

Kagome stared at the little girl's little appendage. She has read about humans and their way of promises. Kagome looked up with a smile and gave the girl her pinky. Their pinky's intertwined and soon parted.

Kagome gave a final smile and then waved her parting. Rin gave a toothy smile and then watched enthusiastically. As the mermaid disappeared, Sesshomaru slowly opened his eyes. He spotted his little girl waving. He turned his head, although it gave him a pounding headache, and saw nothing.

"Sesshomaru-sama! Are you all right?" Rin yelled and watched Sesshomaru wince slightly. "Sorry," Rin whispered.

"Who were you waving to Rin?" Sesshomaru asked as he sat up. He white dress shirt was stained with a black ink spot and his own blood. His lips also felt awkward, like they were tingling. Something strange happened while he was unconscious.

"Secret," Rin said with a wink before asking again if he was all right.

"I have 24 hours till time's up," Kagome reasoned as she sped down towards the costume shops. Human clothing could be found there. Kagome grabbed a single dress and paid for it. After that, Kagome wondered on home to have her last night under the waters. She didn't bother to eat dinner with her family.

Ok! Reveiw and tell me if I should continue this or continue on my other stories... Which I'm really sorry that I can't finish! I just can't seem to get into them.... Sorry again !! Don't kill me xD
