Chapter Three- Frozen
***********
"I am Sora, the ice sorceress."
Said the attacker. Inuyasha looked at the attacker in puzzlement. The name sounded a little familiar, but he shook that feeling off.
"I dont care who you are, your not getting Kagome's shards."
Inuyasha yelled as he lifted the Tetsusaiga and brought it in a swinging motion in front of him, pointing it at Sora. Sora's face twisted into a wicked smile as she did a back flip into the air and landed on the branched she first attacked from.
"What can a pathetic hanyou do to me..."
She said in amusement. Her long white hair fell around her face, strains falling in front of her eyes, that glowed a shocking blue for a moment. As it did the air turned cold around them, snow fell from the sky covering the field in ice. Kagomes shivered a bit as the cold nipped at her bones. It was times like this that she wished she didnt have on her uniform, or she had a big warm blanket with her. She wondered why she thought of things like this at times like this, when they were in battle, ok, more like Inuyasha was in battle. She strung her arrow, her arm shaking a bit from the cold, and aimed it at Sora. Just to be safe, incase Inuyasha was in need of her.
Inuyasha growled at Sora. He hated being called a hanyou, or half breed. You would think youkais would have quit that by now. After all, he had killed many of their kind, and was stronger then most. He would have to show this to Sora. And by the time she realizes her mistake, it would be to late. She would be dead. He smiled at the thought. And then, they would have yet another shard of the Shikon jewel.
"Kagome.."
He called, softly but loud enough for her to hear. She didnt move, she knew what he wanted to know. She lifted up some to see Sora better.
Two shard..
She could feel them. And soon she saw the light of the shards within Sora's body. One was stuck within her chest while the other was within her left arm, which she was now lifting up to the sky.
"Inuyasha, theres a shard in her chest and one in her left arm."
Kagome called back. Inuyasha simply nodded at her and lifted his Tetsusaiga again.
"Now, this wench is going down."
He began to charge at her, not seeing what Kagome saw. Not seeing the power coming from her hand that was raised. But Kagome saw it. The snow still falling around them still and Kagome saw a streak of white floating from her raised hand and heading straight for the sky. She saw it now, something she had not sensed before. A strange looking cloud. Not dark like the others in the night sky. But a surprising white and blue. It was being fed, fed by her power. Kagome froze.
Was she planning to use this against Inuyasha?
She pulled the string on her bow back, aiming for Sora ready to release it.
"Inuyasha!"
Sora called, her blue eyes piercing pass Inuyasha and directed to Kagome.
"Call her off should you not want her to get harmed."
Inuyasha looked back at Kagome and then to Sora. He clenched his teeth. Where were the others? Had they not sensed Sora?
"Kagome fall back!"
Inuyasha called, and the reply he got he did not expect.
"No."
She said simply as she looked at Sora. Inuyasha almost fell. His temper began to rise.
"Kagome! I dont want you to get hurt! Get to safety!"
Kagome looked at him, her eyes a little wide. He didnt want her to get hurt? Was it only because of her ability to see the shards? Or was it something more.. She shook her head. No, he loved Kikyou not her. But still..she cared for him and she didnt want to see him get hurt. And it was clear that he did not see the cloud or the energy Sora was feeding it.
Sora took this distracting to her advantage. Inuyasha was distracted, she could easily destroy him and then the pathetic human girl, get the shards and leave. It was perfect. Now was her chance. She let her power erupt into the cloud above her. Ice swirlied around them, Inuyasha braced himself for whatever attack she had planned. He could take it, as long as Kagome did not get hurt. Unknown to Inuyasha is what Kagome saw. She saw a swirl of ice coming down from the cloud, heading slowly but surely at Inuyasha. Panic flooded her. She had to get Inuyasha safe. Get him out of the range of the attack. She dropped her bow and arrows, running full speed towards Inuyasha.
She wanted to scream to Inuyasha to move, but she could not find her voice. Her only chance was to get him out of the way. As the attack closed in on him so did Kagome. And with her last bit of strength she called out.
"Sit boy!"
Inuyasha went face first into the ground and Kagome stood over him, as a shield, as the attack hit. Power erupted around them. A blinding white light came from the place in which Kagome stood. The power sent Inuyasha flying backward.
"Kagome!"
He screamed as he was blown into a tree. Blackness took over, but only for a moment. He awoke to Sora's sadistic laughter ringing in his ears. Slowly he opened his eyes and they widened at what he saw. He saw Kagome, standing in the same position as she had been when the attack hit, only she was surrounded in ice. Her body was surrounded in ice. Inuyasha rose to his feet, fear flooding him.
"Kagome."
He whispered as he came up close to her. He saw the sparkle of a tear in her frozen eyes. Anger and panic flooded him and he turned to Sora, who was still laughing. He picked up the Tetsusaiga and aimed it at her.
"What have you done to Kagome!"
He called in anger and Sora stopped laughing, only to look at him then her and start laughing again.
"It is to late Inuyasha, you can not save her."
Sora called in amusement. Inuyasha growled angrily.
"What did you do?! How do I get Kagome back!"
Sora sighed. The thick headed hanyou didnt know what he had stepped into, more so what Kagome had saved him from.
"I suppose you shall not get eternal rest if you do not know."
She sighed, a wicked smile appearing on her face.
"Very well, I shall tell you. Kagome, as you call her, took the attack I ment for you. It freezes your body and soul in ice, unbreakable ice. It will never melt, and even if it did it would kill her. Are you happy you know now?"
She asked mockingly. Inuyasha's body began to shake. She had taken that attack for him. Him. It was his fault she was now frozen eternally in ice. But, but there had to be a way to free her. There had to be. And he would find it. Anger flowed within his veins and he lifted the Tetsusaiga and aimed it at Sora, seeing the windscar, he swung it with force. Sora disintegrated in the blast with a final scream. Inuyasha collapsed to the ground, tears springing to his eyes. And for the first time in his life it seemed, he wept.
