(Keep reviewing and I'll keep updating)
'I am snow… looks are not real… I look soft and warm. A place to loose your problems. I make you smile, want to play. You do and you hurt. But you don't care, you don't want to stop. Once you do, you notice, your just cold. I made you cold. Snow just makes you cold… Snow is just cold…'
Most villages they'd stopped to were doing horribly because of the cold weather. Dead crops, frozen animals, disease, and death. When ever they stopped at a village not infested with a plague they were lucky. What good luck they seemed to be having, as they came to a village that was doing very well. Though the winter had been rough and deadly, this village was quite wealthy and had strong backbone. If agreed, Inuyasha and the gang would keep demon out on their stay they could stay free in one of their finest homes as long as they pleased. They were definitely not about to pass up a chance like this. Taking advantage of this opportunity would do them much good, and get them reenergized for their going.
Inuyasha POV
They all watched me. I could feel their eyes stare. All except one pair, Sango's eyes… Did they expect something. Did they expect a big show, a mental break down? Because all they got was emptiness, cold hearted bitterness. I gave them cold glares as I passed. But they, they deserved them every bit. To judge me because I knew what was best. I knew that if something wasn't done then, Sango would be gone. For that they judged. They all judge… Peacefully I sat outside lost in my own trance when she came. "Thank you, Inuyasha…" Sango stood above me. "About what?" I asked, even though I knew what she was talking about. She sat next to me, "I herd about you saving me, and I wanted to thank you." "Oh, yeah, whatever…" I said with no emotion. "But, why did you save me. When Kagome needed you?" she questioned me. "Why would you even ask that!" my tone grew. "Eh well…it's just you always…" I had stumped her. "Kagome wasn't really in a life or death situation." I rose to my feet, "She was going to fall. I don't think she was really in that much danger. What would you have done in my situation..?" with that I walked off.
Sango POV
Inuyasha had been acting quite strange lately. It seemed at first the more I got to know him the more he would open up. I guess we all just got to close, because after awhile he began pushing us away, further and further. On the inside, he just seemed, so cold… A pick up in the wind brought quite a frost that made my senses go numb, including my eyesight that got blurry. Inuyasha froze and turned as he wrapped his claws around the handle of his sword. Of course that meant there was a demon on it's way. I hopped to my feet, "Kagome! Miroku!" I called and Kirara, Kagome, Shippou, and Miroku all rushed out. The villagers fled to safety, from being quite acquainted to the numbing chill in the breeze. They knew what was coming. But it was up to us to stop it. A calm blow picked back up carrying the same nip. Dead silence filled the air just for a moment, but was fallowed by a powerful blow of wind leaving ice crystals and ice cycles all over the place, and all over us. Up in the air I found my self, and back tumbling down. My right upper arm felt as if I'd been jabbed over and over with sharp eye cycles. I placed my left hand over it and hopped back to my feet. I looked at my hand to find it smothered in blood. I then looked at my arm to see it dripping in blood, the wound half frozen, ice sticking from it. Everyone had already caught them selves and were ready for battle.
Kagome's POV
A horrible ice demon stood before us. 'What our luck. We try and get away from the cold, and we're attacked by an ice demon!' is all that was on my mind. Inuyasha was already ready and charging towards him. The demon wasn't as strong as it looked. Though we were all wounded, and it could cause a lot of damage, he wasn't hard to beat. The beast did attack Sango, sinking one fang into her opened sink. Inuyasha used his Windscar, he was practically finished by then. Miroku used a couple of scrolls and he was finished. I could feel a long stream of blood flow down my leg. "Kagome your leg!" Shippou pointed out. "You ok?" Sango asked. Miroku approached me, "Are you alright?" "Eh, Kagome…" even Inuyasha said something about it. They all ignored their own injuries and put all the attention on me, like I'm a weakling. "Huh? I barely noticed," I answered them. "Come, let's go inside," I headed towards the entrance.
Sango's POV
We all fallowed Kagome to the main entrance of our house. I felt a bit light headed, but I ignored it figuring it was probably from my arm bleeding. Soon I could no longer feel the cold, or my legs. Everyone else walked on, but I stopped, and everything became blurry and dizzy. I remember everyone stopping and turning to me. "Sango..?" Kagome asked a bit worried. "You ok Sango?" Miroku asked his voice deep and lagged. Everything began to go in slow motion and it was hard to make out what they were all saying. "Sango…" "Sango?" "Sango!" I blacked out.
Inuyasha's POV
I knew there was something up, when she began to fall behind us. When she stopped I had my guard up, just incase something was to happen. So as soon as she began to fall I was already ready. She began to tumble towards the ground and quickly I leapt to her holding my arms strait out and she fell right into them. I then turned her around and held her up bridal style. Her body felt extremely cold, almost like ice. "Eh! There's something wrong with Sango," I informed everyone. "No…she decided to take a nap!" Kagome said sarcastically. I gave her a deadly glare and a small rumble formed deep in my throat. But she noticed nether. Instead, Kagome approached Sango laying her back hand on Sango's forehead. "She's freezing!" she cried out and yanked her hand back. "I know! That's what I was trying to tell you!" I scolded. Blood began to run from her nose, and her injury's bleeding sped. "Then she should be inside where it's warm…" Miroku pointed out and we all did so. Shippou laid out a futon in front of the fire place as Miroku got the fire started. I walked to the futon and before I began to set her down, she awoke.
Sango's POV
I opened my eyes and was so cold. It felt as if I'd just bathed in a tub of ice during a blizzard. White everywhere…snow everywhere… For miles and miles hills pilled with soft clouds of white. I looked upward to see light powdered sugar fall from the sky and land on the ground, spread out like a giant sheet of cold. I took one step and my foot went strait threw like blade. I was up to my thighs in snow, but still I went on. I could taste blood trickle on my lips. It was my nose, it was bleeding from the cold. "What the hell do I do?" I asked myself. I watched as the sun set as I walked towards it. The sky filled with colors of pink and orange. Blood ran from my arm like a waterfall, leaving a red trail as I moved on. Night approached and the sun disappeared. The white powdered hills were then just dark and cold. Freezing my body as I forced it to go when it lusted for rest. Soon I could no longer go on, I collapsed, buried in the snow. Slowly the snow changed dark red until all light was gone, and I saw nothing but black and felt nothing but cold. I tried hard to keep my eyes open and get back up. With what was left of my energy I rose back up, unable to see where to go, or what to do. Something in me was pulling me forward. I had no other hope, so I fallowed it. As I walked on to where my gut told me, the feeling grew stronger until everything blacked once again. Once I gained consciousness again, I was some where warm, some where I felt I wanted to be. But was unable to move… Still I tried and barely I stirred and buried my face in what the warmth that held me. Gradually I gained control of my body, but ached to much to move. Instead I laid there and my bone began to shiver from the cold that still ran threw my body. It felt as if my veins were frozen solid, and my bones were stored in me being chilled. "Sango?" I herd a familiar voice say my name. My lips trembled as I attempted to answer back. I could feel my arm throb with pain. With it's own pulse, each swell sending a rush of pain through out my arm and shoulder. "Sango?" the voice called again. This time I could make out that it was female, allowing me to conclude it was Kagome. But as I spoke, "Inuyasha…?" mumbled out gently and faint. I opened my eyes to everything quite hazy and at a blur. As my eyesight bettered I was able to see that I was in his arms.
