Chapter Fifty-Four: Snow Maiden

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kaori are on a hill. Inuyasha was looking around.

"No sign of Naraku here either," Inuyasha stated. He looked at Kagome. She was sitting of the ground, placing fireworks on the ground from her backpack. "What are you doing?"

"I was just cleaning out my backpack and I found all these fireworks," Kagome said.

Kaori stared at the fireworks before looking at Kagome. "Uh... Why did you even have fireworks in your bag?"

"I brought them to show everyone what they were but I guess I forgot about them," Kagome stated.

"Huh?" Inuyasha crouched down and stared at them. Kagome picked up one that she could hold (a sparkler) and she lit the fuse of it. Sparks started to come out of it. "How did you do that?"

Kaori smiled. "Magic~!"

"Really?" Inuyasha asked.

"No. It's just made to do that," Kaori stated.

"This one is called a sparkler. Isn't it pretty?" Kagome asked him. Inuyasha stared at it, fascinated.

Suddenly, it began to snow.

"Um... It's snowing," Kaori said.

"But it's summer. How could this be?" Kagome stared at the sky.

"Something's not right," Inuyasha said.

"No kidding," Kaori stated. "We should get to the hut."

"Good idea," Kagome said.

The three of them headed back to the hut. By the time they got back to it, a lot of snow was on the ground. They walked into the hut to see Shippo and Kirara at a fire with three sticks of fish.

"We got here just in time for dinner," Inuyasha commented.

"You smelt the fish, didn't you?" Shippo assumed. "That's the only reason why you came back."

"Hardly. It's snowing outside." Inuyasha wiped some snow off his shoulder.

Kaori wiped snow off her head. "Yeah and quite a lot."

"No wonder it's so cold," Shippo stated, crossing his arms and shivering a bit.

"Are Sango and Miroku back?" Kagome asked.

Kaori face palmed. "Why would she ask that? It is very clear to tell that they aren't here since they aren't in here with us."

"Not yet," Shippo said. Inuyasha sat down by the fire and took one of the sticks of fish, starting to eat it. "Hey!" Shippo exclaimed. "That fish belongs to Kirara and me!"

"Don't be stingy," Inuyasha said as he chewed his food. "Kagome, Kaori, get over here and try some. It's good."

Kaori sat beside Inuyasha and he shared his fish with her. Kagome looked out the hut. "I'll try some in a minute," she stated. She then spotted two beings out in the snow, heading towards the hut. "Sango! Miroku!" She went outside of the hut, smiling, only to stop smiling immediately after she realized the people weren't Sango and Miroku, but the owners of the hut.

Once Kagome and the owners of the hut were inside, they sat around the fire.

"We're sorry that we took your hut. We didn't think anyone lived here," Kaori said.

"It's alright," the man said. "We would have done the same."

"I think that you should stay here with us until the snow maiden passes," the woman said.

"Snow maiden?" Kagome questioned.

"Sounds interesting," Kohaku said.

"If an alone man walks on a snowy day like this, a young woman stops him. If he follows her, he has sealed his fate and the next day, he is found pitifully frozen," the woman told them.

"Wonderful," Kaori said, slightly sarcastically. Kagome, Sango, and herself didn't have to worry about the snow maiden.

"They say that she is a sight to behold," the man said. "Her skin as white as the snow. I'd like to see her once, even if it meant freezing." He angered his lover and she pinched him. "Ow!"

"Skin as white as snow?" Kaori questioned. "Sounds like Snow White to me."

"Miroku's in danger!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Maybe not." Inuyasha ate more food (boar meat that the couple had brought). "Isn't Sango with him?"

"Oh. Then maybe he is okay," Kagome said.

"I don't think we should risk him possibly dying," Kaori stated.

"...I guess so," Kagome said.


It was no longer snowing and Inuyasha, Shippo, Kirara, Kagome, and Kaori were in the snow, searching for Sango and Miroku. They found Sango buried under snow (Kirara found her) and after giving her medicine, she was fully awake. She recalled seeing the snow maiden but she doesn't know that the being was in fact the snow maiden.

Currently, they were all running to try and find Miroku.

"I heard the woman loud and clear. She had the child was his," Sango said.

"Heh, come to think of it. Maybe it is time for him to settle down," Inuyasha said. "This could be the perfect opportunity." Sango growled.

"Don't take that demon's word so seriously," Kagome stated.

They reached a barrier and Inuyasha broke through it. "Follow me," he told them. He ran with Kirara with Kagome and Shippo on her back, Sango, and Kaori following him. They soon reached a hut. Inuyasha, Kaori, and Sango look through three holes in the wood and spied on Miroku. His back was facing them and he was holding something.

"There you go my little angel. You'll be a heart breaker someday," Miroku mumbled. Sango growled lowly.

"Somebody's jealous~" Kaori cooed quietly.

Miroku turned to show that he was holding a tiny snowman.

"Do you see that?" Sango questioned.

"No, I'm completely blind all of a sudden," Kaori said sarcastically. Sango glared at her. "Sorry. Yes, I saw that. Must be a part of the snow maiden's luring thing."

"Snap out of it, Miroku!" Inuyasha tried heading over to Miroku but was sent flying back.

The snow maiden appeared before them. "You there. Leave us."

"No way," Kaori said.

"Hm." The snow maiden spotted Kagome's jewel shards. "I see. Jewel shards. Snow beast, I summon you!" A creature that looked similar to Kirara appeared. "Kill them and take their shards!"

"Think again!" Inuyasha sliced the thing in half and believed it to be dead. It went back together and tried to attack him from behind but Kagome shot an arrow at it, stopping it. Inuyasha tried to kill the beast but the beast wouldn't die. It knocked Inuyasha into the building and caused Miroku to come back to his senses. The snow maiden combined with the beast.

"Kaori! Use your fire on it!" Sango exclaimed.

"You really think that will work?" Kagome questioned.

"Kagome, fire beats ice," Kaori said.

"Stop making it sound like I'm stupid!" Kagome exclaimed.

Kaori shot fire balls at the beast. It dodged most of them but was hit by one, catching on fire. Inuyasha then used wind scar to destroy the demon, setting free the spirit that the snow maiden had taken over.

"That was annoying," Kaori stated.

"Mhm," Kagome said.

"Stop getting into trouble, Miroku. We can't always save your ass," Inuyasha said.

"Sorry," Miroku stated.

"Let's just go," Sango said, walking away from them.

"She was jealous over nothing," Kaori thought. "Well, there will be a lot of times where she'll get jealous since Miroku flirts with a lot of women."

"I hope Miroku starts changing for the better or Sango is gonna slap the pervertedness out of him," Kagome thought.
