Beneath the water lay a myriad of secrets. Once, long ago, she was bold enough to take scuba lessons, and while she felt at home on the water, remaining beneath it for an extended period of time was something else entirely. For the first time in her life, she was claustrophobic. “I wonder how they do it,” she thought aloud, watching the last of the storm clouds fade into the distance. The once raging lake was eerily calm, though nowhere near as clear as it should be. Everything was churned up, much like the two of them, she supposed.
“Who?” Sesshoumaru asked, following her line of sight, unsure of what she was speaking Kagome was often unpredictable with her thoughts, something she knew he once enjoyed, but probably did no longer. Sesshoumaru was the type to enjoy knowing what was coming ahead and keeping others on the edge.
“The fish of course.”
Sesshoumaru raised a single brow, waiting for her to elaborate.
“Imagine being tossed back and forth, always unsure if you’re coming or going, unable to see. How can they eat if they can’t see their food?”
Sesshoumaru smirked. “They’re just fish.”
Seeing his smile Kagome inwardly cheered. Gotcha!
