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) And to my other solid reviewers, Aria-Wolfstar and Demon Exterminator Barbie: You both deserve cookies. Oh, and I have no idea how this is going to turn out, so suggestions would be nice...

I don't own Inuyasha. If I did, this would be a horrible world.

Once again, it seemed like hours had passed before Sango could even say understandable words.

" Kagome... The aura, what was the aura? Was it your spirit powers?" Sango asked, sitting up slowly. Kagome pushed her back down.

" Just lay down and rest a while. I think it was, but I'm not to sure. I've never had that happen before except with my arrows. I'll ask Miroku or Myouga when we get out of here. Now that you're up, I need to see the puncture on your back, it could be bad. If I don't help it now, it'll scar badly." Kagome said, using her mittens for a cloth. Sango slowly turned over, the wound visible through the hole in her uniform.

" It doesn't matter. It can't be any worse then every other scar..." Sango trailed off, closing her eyes. Kagome furrowed her brow, staring at the puncture. It looked like an eye staring back at her, laughing at the fact that she couldn't do anything. Kagome used her mitten to soak up some of the blood, and then looked around the cave for anything she could use. In the corner, she found some smooth stones. She took one, about the size of her palm, and walked back over to Sango.

" Okay, this might hurt a bit. It probably won't even work..." Kagome mumbled, rolling the stone over Sango's spine, almost like a massage. Kagome heard several cracks down her spine, and continued working the shoulders and lower back. When she reached the puncture, she decided pressure may help, so she pushed down hard on the stone. The blood seeped upwards onto the stone, and Kagome removed it. Sango started to get up, but Kagome once again shoved her down.

" Stay down and rest, otherwise it'll open really wide." Kagome said, sitting on her heels beside Sango. Sango looked up at Kagome.

" I can't lie down forever, it doesn't work like that. We need to start moving again soon, wounds or not. Besides, I swear I heard something cracking, and I do not want to stick around and find out what it was." Sango stated, standing up. Kagome did as well, and watched as Sango threw on her yukata, folding it loosely.

" You shall not leave..." Both Kagome and Sango blinked, and turned around slowly. The sculpture was moving, her hair flying in different directions on it's own. Sango readied Hiraikotsu, but let out a curse and dropped her arm, holding her shoulder. Kagome held the katana unsteadily, her entire body was shaking, and not from the cold.

" Sango, are you alright?" Kagome asked, keeping her eyes on the ice woman. Sango let out a little groan.

" I'm fine, but be careful, the aura isn't that of a demon, it's way to powerful..." Sango called out, springing the blade in her forearm. She stood shakily beside Kagome. The cogs in Kagome's head started to turn, and she looked towards the giant fire.

" Sango, maybe she'll melt in the fire now that she's moving!" Kagome called, running behind the fire. Sango followed. The woman charged right through the flames, and with a swipe of her arm, sent ice needles flying at them. Sango pulled Kagome to the ground, the needles barely missing them. Kagome screeched as they ran in many directions to dodge.

" Never mind, I thought it would work!" Kagome cried, leaping sideways into the air. Sango twisted around and delivered a solid drop kick to the back of the ice woman. She hurtled forward, falling into the flame. Kagome grabbed a rock that was covered in dirt and chucked it at the fire, hitting the ice woman. The ice shattered off of her, and she screamed in a melting blaze. Kagome blinked.

" Um... What exactly just happened?" She asked, turning to Sango, who was laying on the ground tiredly.

" I don't know..." She panted out, pulling out an ice shard she landed on. The cave began to shake violently, ice chunks and boulders falling everywhere. Sango got up, and pulled Kagome by the wrist. They began running through a tunnel at the other side. Dodging around many falling objects, they came to a halt. The end was blocked off by fallen debris. Kagome looked around. No way out, and the place was caving in fast. She grabbed Sango and hugged her tightly, balling her eyes out.

" We're going to die!" Sango dropped herself down, covering Kagome. The ice around them shattered, and stabbed downwards. Hiraikotsu soaked up most of the shards, but one slipped through and pierced through Sango's sash, nearly impaling her leg.

" No, not yet! We're not going down without a fight!" Sango shouted over the crumbling noise. She hit her fist on the ground, hearing the crack. She continued pounding near Kagome's head, which made her quite nervous. Finally, the floor gave way after a large boulder hit Hiraikotsu, the floor crumbling and causing our heroines to plummet down another long cavern. They screamed loudly. Finally, they burst out of the cavern...

To look down at a giant valley, which they were currently falling towards.

" I TOLD YOU WE WERE GOING TO DIE!" Kagome screeched, trying to flap her arms to stay up. Sango snatched her by the waist, and streamlined towards the valley. Kagome let out another screech, but stopped when she once again felt a familiar tug. Kirara had caught them, and Kagome could clearly spot Inuyasha's red haori down in the valley. She looked at Sango, who was enjoying the wind in her face.

" You know, you really shouldn't assume. Makes an ass out of you and me." Sango tossed back her hair, her eyes glowed in the sunlight. Kagome huffed, but then smiled.

" How can you be so incredibly calm?" Kagome asked, holding Sango's shoulders. She felt her shrug.

" I knew we'd pull through. Besides... I couldn't die if I tried. And I certainly wouldn't let you die..." Sango trailed off, looking to the sky. Kagome blinked.

" Why not?" She asked, following Sango's gaze. She let out a light chuckle.

" Because the heavens don't deserve their angel back."

OWARI

That was surprisingly fluffy... Well, that's all folks!
