Disclaimers: I do NOT own Inuyasha or any of its characters.
Whew! Sorry about the loooong update wait, but I had exams and stuff to take care of. :/
Anyways...
K-chan: Oh yeah! Summer is here baby!!!!
Alawen of Mirkwood: Well, now that this chapter's up, I get to torment you more. 8)
Fred the Mutant Pickle: Yep, you're water. :D Unfortunately, I'm trying to keep this fic almost all Miroku and Sango since I'm not too confident about juggling two relationships at once, but I'll try to make it good.
Me: Oh boy, Me likes earth....
For the sake of your own health, I highly recommend fleeing. j/k rofl!

"Ready, Shippo-chan?"
'Augh, not this again...' "Ready!"
Under her breath, Kagome concentrated on the shaft of wood she sighted down on. "Mizu. Aisu. Senshu. Boruto. Chilling Bolt!" The frozen arrow sped like a diamond shard towards the small boulder Shippo was carrying above his head. Upon striking the rock, it froze and shattered in an instant.
"Eeek!" Shippo squeaked while quickly ducking. 'I'll never get used to this...'
"Alright! Right on the mark!"
For hours, Kagome and her oh-so-trusty sidekick Shippo had been training intensely under the dim sun. The cool mountain air was quite refreshing, although Kagome was starting to get a little chilly.
Kagome found that she enjoyed her new powers. They could sooth, heal, and she could instantly create a hot spring or a nice cool lake in an instant. Great way to relax anytime, she thought.
Another great thing about water was...
"Oi Shippo-chan? Wanna take a ramen break?"
'Oh thank Kami,' "Ok!" Kagome rummaged through her pack until she found the plastic pack of noodles, opened them up, and snapped her fingers.
Voila! Boiling hot water instantly appeared out of nowhere and filled up both packets, filling up the air with the scent of cooking ramen.
While she waited for the ramen noodles to soak up the water, Kagome began to mull over a few things...
'#sigh# I miss my family already... it's my mom's birthday in a few days and I don't know if I can get out of here!' she thought.
'But at least I got my friends here. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have them! But the act that Naraku is still around worries me...'
She looked at Shippo who was slurping his ramen happily.
'Look at him, not a worry in the world... sometimes I wonder...how and why did a child so young and innocent get drawn into this conflict? He's seen so much death, destruction and torment that I'm surprised he hasn't cracked yet.' She smiled slightly. 'He's much stronger than we all give him credit for.'
She then looked a few miles southward beyond the setting sun where she knew Sango would be training.
'I wonder how Sango-chan's holding up: Miroshin-san told me that Earth's not an easy element to conquer...then again, so is Water, Fire and Wind...she'll be doing just fine.
'Poor Sango...always so torn about Kohaku-kun and that lecher... I can't help but feel really sorry for her since she's usually the target for his..."attacks". Speaking of that no good lecher...'
-Miroku's training spot-
"Kaze. Doku. Suiaaaaachooo!!" He wiped his nose and sniffed. 'Did someone just insult me?'
-Back to Kagome- 'I've always wondered how he could keep up such an optimistic guise while he was burdened with the Void back in the past, with all the stress of knowing that you have only a few years to live. It kind of reminds me of people with terminal cancer back at home...'
"Oi, Kagome!" Shippo's cry alerted her back to reality. "I think your ramen's kinda soggy by now."
"Oh, thanks Shippo-chan," she muttered distractedly. The mulling had distrupted her appetite. She went back to thinking:
'And now for Inuyasha...#sigh# I just wish that he wouldn't keep running off with Kikyo. Doesn't he know that it hurts me? A lot?' She quietly sighed to herself again.
'But sometimes it's worth it. He's there when I'm in danger, and he can be really sweet sometimes!' She looked up at the now starry night sky, the gently falling snow sugaring the twinkling horizon.
She stood up and began packing the ramen packages. "Alright Shippo-chan! Let's train a little more and then go home." Stifling a groan, the kitsune stood up and picked up another boulder.
"Actually," interrupted Kagome, I was thinking of something else. Shippo, could you throw that at me?" Looking uncertain for a moment, Shippo suddenly complied, feeling vengeful for all the torment he had suffered during Kagome's training (aka Let's torture Shippo).
"Here we go!" He shouted. The rock flew like an arrow towards Kagome, who began chanting, "Mizu. Aisu. Hei. Ice Wall!" A wall of ice suddenly formed out of the ground and defended its creator from the offending boulder, which merely bounced off like a ball.
"Yatta Kagome! Your Ice Wall's so powerful!" Giggling, Kagome gave Shipo a quick hug and began packing her equipment.
Then came the bombardment.
It was a hail of spikes, each 2 feet long, an inch thick and sharp enough to penetrate even the most high quality steel like paper. Most fortunately, Kagome managed to create another Ice Wall on instinct to saver herself and her "sidekick".
'Where did these guys come from?' Kagome thought worriedly. She tried counting them, but the ice distorted her view. 'Kuso, there's at least five... what'll I do?'
Quickly formulating a plan, she pulled out her bow and began enchanting her arrows. 'I hope this works,' thought Kagome.
For an instant, she created a small hole in the wall and shot an arrow through it. The arrow sped forward...
And nailed a spike demon square between the eyes.
It shriekd in agony, but its voice was abruptly cut off when the ice spread past his neck and down to the rest of the body. In a matter of seconds, the one-ton hulk of flesh and spikes was added to the décor of the training site.
"Ergh?" Was all another demon grunted out before it too became a statue. Realizing that Kagome held the advantage in ranged combat, the hit squad moved in closer.
Ooops...
"Mizu. Shitai. Eki. Taisan. Liquefy!" Instantly, a demon turned into water and collapsed into a puddle. It never had time to scream.
In a guttural voice the lead demon cried, "Attack the wench! Rush her-"
#Clonk# "Hey ugly! You leave Kagome alone!" shouted an angry looking Shippo.
"Little brat! SHUURAI!!!!"
Another volley sent Shippo scurrying back under cover. "Kagome! We can't keep this up for long you know!"
Suddenly Kagome had a plan. "Mizu. Kiri. Genzou. Fumei. Mist Claok!" A thick fog settled itself on the battleground as the spike demons began to cease fire, confused on where there target was. The demons started to mill around aimlessly, blindly looking for Kagome.
Maybe they should have just kept firing...
When the mist finally died away, the leader of the pack found himself surrounded by frozen pieces of what used to be his comrades and a determined miko (plus a small bundle of cowering fur).
"Nani? Grr... wench, you may have slain my brothers, but I will not go down so easily. Come miko! We will see whose power is greater!" Then without warning, it launched a volley of iron-hard spikes at Kagome.
'Oh no! I can't dodge that!' "EEK!"
"KAGOME!!!!!"
No one moved except for the demon.
"Hah! Not so tough are you now huh, wen- nani?!"
Uncovering her head from her arms, she came out of her slightly crouching position completely unharmed.
"W-what did you just do witch?!"
"Ever noticed that a lake is unharmed when you try to pierce it with a spear? Same thing applies here, scum." She whipped out her bow and notched an arrow to it.
The last thing the demon ever thought was, 'N-n-nani?! She liquefied herself that quickly? Imposs-!'
The frozen pieces of the youkai leader littered the ground, clinking like glass as they struck the cold, hard rock of the mountain.
"Oi, Shippo-chan, ready to go?...Umm, Shippo-chan?" She waved a hand in front of his eyes. "Shiiipo-chan..."
Of course, she was rather surprised when the teary-eyed fox demon leaped onto her and buried his face into her clothes.
"#Sniff# Kagome! Are you alright! I thought you got killed I wouldn't know what to do if you got hurt Inuyasha would kill me oh Kami-"
"Calm down Shippo, I'm alright. But that was sweet of you to worry about me!"
The young kitsune managed to give her a weak smile through his tears. "R- really?"
Kagome nodded. "Really. Now let's get back."
