Kagome walked faster until she could no longer hear Inuyasha's voice calling her. 'Stupid Inuyasha.' She tried so hard to hold onto her tears but to no avail. By the time she reached a river, she fell to her knees and let out a sob. 'How can I face everyone? How can I tell them he was plotting with Kikyo to get rid of me?'
Kagome looked at her reflection in the water. She didn't understand why he treated her that way sometimes. She wasn't bad looking. Kind of average. She was definitely a lot cleaner than the people of this era. 'I'll never understand.' She sighed.
All of a sudden she felt that same cold wind blow by her. "Jeez! What is with the weather today?" As the wind was blowing she saw a swift shift in the water. 'What was that?' Kagome turned and saw a beautiful woman. Her white long hair could've been similar to Sesshomaru's had it not looked so cold. As Kagome kept watching, she realized that the woman was made of ice. And she was crying...
Her face was filled with so much pain, Kagome could feel it from her distance. She'd never seen so much anguish. The ice-woman grasped onto a tree for dear life. As the woman cried on, her hands began to freeze the tree. 'I wonder if the cold wind I felt was her.'
Kagome tried to get a closer look but tripped over some roots. "Oof!" 'Great. Now I've startled her.' She looked up but the ice-woman was gone. Kagome picked herself up. 'Now where did she go?' She turned around and came face to face with the ice-woman.
"You."
Kagome screamed and jumped back. She looked at the woman and realized she was no longer covered in ice. Her face wasn't drowning in tears. In fact, she looked human. Except the long white hair.
"What were you doing watching me?"
The woman stared into Kagome's eyes. It was like she could look deep into her soul. "Stop staring at me like that!"
"Why is it your heart's full of sorrow?" "Look, I'm sorry for spying and I don't know who told you but I'm fine. Now, if you'll excuse me." Kagome kept her eyes on the woman as she walked backwards.
But then, she turned around and ran as hard as her legs could take her. 'Damn it! I wasn't planning on running today.' The woman glares at her as she runs away. 'She'll never escape.' She shrugged.
Unbeknownst to Kagome, the woman freezes the nearby riverbed and sinks into it, instantly transporting herself to the other end. Right in front of Kagome. Kagome stops right in her tracks. "Why do you avoid my questioning?"
"I don't have to answer to you." "Clearly." The woman's form was once again ice as she walked around Kagome, leaving a thin icy trail. "You can't hide anything from me, dear. Your curiosity will wound you in life. I can feel the deep sadness in your heart."
The woman stepped in front of Kagome and started to reach towards her chest. Kagome couldn't take the temperature. "Please stop! I'll tell you whatever you want." The ice-woman stopped. "What is your name?"
"Kagome." "Yes, the shikon miko?" Kagome gasped. "How did you know?" The ice-woman chuckled, "like I said, dear, you can't hide anything from me."
