Dragons and Youkai

Ch. 1 Frozen

WITH THE INUTACHI

We are traveling towards the place where a shard was rumored to be it was high in the northern mountains which sucked in his opinion because they had to travel though that blasted wolf's territory which means they were probably going to run into the mangy flea bag at some point. Before they left Kaede's hut Kagome went to her time to get warmer cloths for the humans since the northern mountains were very cold he, Shippo a Kirara didn't need the extra protection because they were youkai. Kagome got back the next day and they were on their way towards the northern mountains and as he suspected as soon as they started up the mountain they were greeted by Koga who he growled at but Koga didn't even grab Kagome's hands this time or call her his women. They soon found out the reason the wolf had finally given up on Kagome and accepted Ayame's proposal coincidently Ayame and Koga had much in common and got along quite well much to the smug pride of the female wolf youkai. Koga invited them to stay the night as it was getting late and it would soon be too dark to travel safely anymore that day and he smelt a storm coming welcomed the warm place to stay openly.

The next day brought with it the storm he had sensed last night and the humans were very grateful for Koga's hospitality they did not want to be out in that storm. Kagome was thinking about the strange power she sensed in the mountains it was immensely powerful, yet it seemed gentle like her mother's cool hand on her forehead when she was sick she did indeed also sense a jewel shard somewhere near the wolf dens in the mountains. For some reason she wanted to along with finding the jewel shard find the source of the gentle presence that was soothing her and allowing her to get a better sleep than she had the since the last time she went home and fell asleep with her mother stroking her hair. She reminded herself to tell Inuyasha about the strange power she sensed in the morning hopefully she would remember after all living in the feudal era she knew not to totally trust any power no matter how gentle or harmless it seemed to be. With that thought she fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning she told Inuyasha about the strange power and he got a thoughtful look on his face and thanked her before he told her they would probably be here another few days because the storm did not seem to be letting up before going back to what he was doing. It was a week after they had arrived at the wolf den that they were finally able to return to their journey the further they went into the mountains the stronger the pulse of the jewel and the strange aura she had sensed became irresistibly pulling her towards it. Soon a valley of Ice appeared in their view it was breathtaking the ice glowed faintly with some sort of inner light a refracted the rays of the sun shining into the valley and making the ice sparkle like diamonds. Still the strange power and the jewel pulled her onwards until she came to portion of the ice that glowed brighter than the rest and she could literally feel the power radiating off it but like before it didn't seem hostile more like sleepy and slow like it whatever was producing the power had been asleep for a long time and was just now waking up. She examined the ice for the jewel shard she had sensed as Inuyasha came up beside her and started sniffing but with how cold it was, how much water was around and the power in the air it was hard for him to tell anything.

Finally she spotted the jewel shard and pointed it out to Inuyasha who immediately who unsheathed Tetsusaiga and brought it down on the ice and they watched in awe as a line of power shot up the sword de-transforming it and throwing Inuyasha back. Inuyasha cursed while the rest of the went into deep thought and Kagome had this feeling pulling her towards the ice as she reached down her had begun to glow pink with her miko powers and as she placed her hand hesitantly upon the ice it began to melt until she was holding the shard. However even after she removed her hand the ice continued to melt and she quickly made her way off the ice watching as all the ice melted without so much as a puff of steam so she was right the ice wasn't normal. When all the ice was completely melted they blinked for a moment before being able to completely comprehend what they were seeing, there on the ground was a women. Kagome hesitantly along with Inuyasha went up to the women and was surprised she was still breathing even know she had appeared to have been frozen in the ice melted by Kagome's powers.

With that in mind they decided to journey back to Koga's den for the pack surely had a healer there that could tell if she would suffer any ill effects from being frozen in the ice for however long she was in there probably a pretty long time from what he could detect. The ice felt ancient to him several centuries old at least he shared this knowledge with his companions who shook their heads for it went way over their heads how she could survive being frozen for centuries when she was only human, but then Kagome reminded them of the magic surrounding the ice. So they speculated that the magic in the ice must have been what kept her alive all this time, however all they could do was speculate until their new charge woke up.

WITH ELLAYA

My body felt numb well that was to be expected she thought as the last memory she had was of being frozen by an ice dragon protecting a civilian faintly she sensed she was no longer frozen in the ice and wondered how much time had passed since she had been frozen. Her other senses came back to her steadily first her hearing from which she could make out voices one of which was distinctly masculine, then her touch from which she could make out being wrapped in warm blankets. Finally her senses of smell and hearing returned and she could smell three people in the room with her two male one female with an odd colored aura that shone a bright pure pink, yes pure was the right word she had never felt anything like it and frankly couldn't describe it. She also sensed many others nearby all of them she realized had distinctly weird auras but the women in the room and a male she could sense outside by far had the weirdest auras of all. She had seen aura's so evil they were black before, but never before had she seen any being with an aura that practically screamed purity it was intriguing.

After she was done analyzing the beings around her she turned her sights to her surroundings she seemed to be in some sort of cave she also noticed that she could not understand what the people in the room she had been placed in where saying. She ever so quietly cast a spell that would not only allow her to understand the language but speak it as well it was a rather useful spell that she never thought she would actually use. When the spell was finished she listened carefully "…do you think she will wake soon" ah so they were talking about her "she should as I have told you before Inuyasha" replied an impatient sounding feminine voice. She couldn't withhold the chuckle that escaped her as the occupants of the room turned towards her and moved towards the bed were she rested.

WITH THE OTHER OCCUPANTS IN THE ROOM

Kagome and the healer of the wolf-youkai tribe Shiro were both trying not to blow up at the impatient hanyou who wanted answers and wanted them now not later and they had to keep re-assuring him that she would wake up soon though they could not tell him exactly when. This seemed to aggravate him further things would have likely escalated even more if the person they were speaking of hadn't woken up at that time and chuckled at the argument they were having. They all looked over at the women and noticed that she had startlingly blue eyes just like her; however she also had strikingly silver colored hair that seemed to shift through different shades of silver also unlike her she was tall about 6 ft. if she had to guess she was also well built while her and the wolf-youkai healer were examining her they noticed she seemed not to have an ounce of fat on her. They also were met with scares so they guessed she was a worrier of sorts she also had some pretty serious wounds which they bandaged they also found to their surprise she had suffered no permanent damage from being trapped in the ice. All and all their patient was quite frankly a mess but at least she was alive and as she looked at them her face changed from a smile to a confused and pleading look asking them to explain things to her.

So Kagome did she told her of their quest how it had led them to a hidden valley high in the mountains, how Inuyasha's sword had no effect on the ice and how it had burnt the hanyou 9after throwing him back of course). How they were in a race to gather the shards of a powerful jewel before an evil hanyou named Naraku (she already didn't like him just from the name) did and how Kagome despite having never fought before and not having much experience was the protector of the jewel. She also explained with a sad smile that she was honor bound to collect the shards as she was the one in her naiveté that broke the jewel in the first place. She noticed that her charge was trying to stay awake so she stopped the story there and told the girl to get some rest to which she with a grateful nod and a quiet "thank you" did.
