Irony Is A Bitch!
Chapter Five
Disclaimer: I make no money from this story and own none of the Inuyasha characters. Nor do I own the Inuyasha fandom. I only own my little plot line.
A/N: To my anonymous reviewer on ffnet. I am seriously considering making this into a Ja/Kag/Ban story. It could lead to some interesting developments. But I'm currently still on the fence about that. I'll probably post a poll on my profile and let the readers decide {when we get far enough along in the plot for that to even come into play} until then it's Ja/Kag.

Chapter Five:
Kagome felt the empty void of unconsciousness trying to take over. She clung desperately to images of her loved ones and felt a renewed determination to survive. Despite her soul draining away from her, she forced her body to obey her will and managed to get one arm to move.
Her heart fluttered in her chest and she poured all of her will into the action, forcing her other arm to move. Light flashed around her and the waves tumbled harder than before. She felt her soul slamming back into her body, only much stronger than it had ever been.
'I will not die like this!'
She willed her feet to kick and propelled her body upward one agonizing inch at a time. Her lungs burned in need of air, but she forced the pain to the back of her mind. The closer she drew to the surface the stronger her movements became.
Her legs kicked like flippers and her arms tore through the water. The closer she got to the surface the more turbulent the water was. She grit her teeth and willed her body to keep the waves tossed around her, she forced her body to relax and ride it out. When the waves settled down again she would plow through the water, progressing slowly.
'Come on, almost there'
Adrenaline kicked in and she forced her way through the surface. She greedily sucked in fresh air and her tears mingled with the water. She forced herself to keep going and finally made it to the shore. Her body ached everywhere as she painstakingly crawled higher onto the river bank until the water barely touched her feet.
'I made it!'
Her arms trembled and then buckled beneath her. Her eyes slowly closed. She was barely aware of something solid sliding up next to her. She wrapped herself around it and then promptly passed out.

A/N: That's it for chapter five. I know the last few chapters have been short, but they are vital to the plot and it is important you read them one at a time, in order to understand why. Enjoy everyone and remember reviews are the best motivation for any author. XD
