The Ice Cavern
Seine: Wow! Some great people are reviewing, one of them being one of the leading authorities on Kagome and Sango stuff! ( In my opinion from what I've read)
Surprisingly, the walk wasn't as long as before, because they came to a new obstacle in only an hour. Unfortunately, this obstacle proved to be a very big problem...
" Um... Any bright ideas?" Sango asked, turning to Kagome. She blinked a few times.
" Well, it is a giant ice slope... Although I can't see what's at the bottom, so sliding down might not be the best idea... But I say we do it anyway. I mean, it could be fun..." Kagome trailed off, staring down the giant ice slope. It seemed as though near the end of each one, they began to become tube like, leading off in different directions. Sango blinked, and then began checking the size of the tube compared to her thumb.
" Aha! I've got it! We can use Hiraikotsu as a sled and shoot down one of the tunnels! As long as one of us doesn't fall off, we should be fine." Sango explained, kneeling on Hiraikotsu. Kagome got on the back, latching onto Sango's back.
" And off we go!" Kagome shouted, and it echoed as they went speeding down the slope, ending up in the far right tube. They shot at incredible speeds, scraping against the bottom. The tube suddenly curved up, and they were sent shooting out the end, over a very wide drop of death. Icicles fell down behind them, following their screaming path of speed. They landed on a ledge on the other side, sliding into another little cave. Sango stood up, placing Hiraikotsu on her back.
" That was way too close for any sort of comfort..." Sango mumbled, brushing ice scrapings out of her dark hair. Kagome stood up, and smiled.
" Are you kidding me? That was awesome! I mean, I never get those speeds on the normal sleds!" Sango raised her eyebrow, and they continued their walking. After what seemed once again like hours, they came to a fork in the road.
" Oh crap." Kagome said bluntly, her eyes half lidded. Sango's frost covered eyebrow twitched, which surprised her, because she thought it was completely frozen.
" Well, let's see. We can go left, or we can go right. Do you sense any shards, just in case?" Sango asked, tightening her yukata. Kagome shook her head.
" Nope, nothing. How about we go left? I'll put a little arrow pointing left, incase they find this place before we make it out of here. Saves some confusion." Kagome said, scratching into the ice. They then continued to the left. Along the way, thoughts creeped into the minds of our travelers.
This is such an adventure! I mean, I'm not sure if we'll get out, but it's fun being here with Sango. Wait a minute... She looks normal, but it looks like frost is setting over her body. How could I have been so stupid, she must be freezing, even more so from the rushing air! Why isn't she saying anything, though? Kagome thought as she watched Sango adjust Hiraikotsu's strap.
Okay, she keeps staring at me, what's the deal... I must have something on my face... Pft, yeah, it's called frost. My fingers are almost numb, I hate the cold. Looks like another clearing is coming up, better be prepared. If I can close my hand... They continued walking, until they entered the large clearing. But it wasn't ice. It was all stone, including the floor. A giant fire was roaring in the center, in front of an ice sculpture. But the sculpture wasn't melting.
" Could it be an illusion?" Sango asked in awe, drawing closer to the fire. Kagome shook her head.
" No, I can feel the warmth. But why isn't that sculpture melting?" Kagome pondered, staring at it. It was of a women, clothed in a dress that appeared to hang just right. She was pointing towards an ice wall, with something behind it.
" I wonder...
Seine: R& R!
