Fire Meets Ice

Chapter3: The Rescue Mission

While gliding toward the mountain on his beast, Sesshomaru began to contemplate why he was going to rescue the girl. `I have no connection to her, I really don't even know if it's the girl from my dream…I guess, oh whatever I decided to save her and even if it was just on pure instinct, I'm going through with it.' With that, he landed on the ledge outside of the cave and dismounted.

He strode into the cave like he owned the place, and quickly ran into the security. However, before their hands even reached the hilts of their swords, they were nothing more than piles of melted flesh and bone. `How is it that nobody can never stand up to my poison claws? Well except that one girl, but she doesn't count because she had Tetsusaiga protecting her. I still wonder why Inu Yasha cared so much about that wench, but he was always a freak so I guess that explains it.' While trailing off in his mind, he failed to notice the demons sneaking up behind himand before he knew it, he was out cold. (SK: Ok that would never seriously happen but I said he'd be a little OOC.)

When he awoke, he was chained on the wall of the cave, next to her, it was the cat demon from his dream.

"Hey, are you conscious?" he asked cautiously, not wanting to be overheard.

"Yea, and what's it to you?" she replied, not even looking at him.

"Look up and maybe you'll be able to figure it out."

"Oh my god! It's you, Sesshomaru, the guy from the dream!"

"Yes, it is, but I don't believe I know you," he said, adding `even though I came hear to rescue you,' in his head.

"Oh, sorry, I'm Kaene, but why are you here?"

"I came to find you to tell the truth, because I found out that you were looking for me."

"Oh, really," a slight blush creptinto her cheeks, "Hey, then why are you captured too?"

"Don't ask. But we have to escape, so can you burn through the chains?"

"No…Hey wait how did you know-" she started to say, but she was cut off by Sesshomaru telling her to be quiet as the guard came.

`I can easily melt these restraints with my poison, but I had better do it subtly, so that the guard doesn't notice, it wouldn't be good if the whole gang was alerted,' he thought to himself as he slowly began melting away the metal restraints. As soon as he was done, he swiftly ran and grabbed the guard in a choke-hold, positioning his claws in front of his face as a warning.

"Now give me the keys," he said coldly, bringing his claws in closer, and tightening his grip.

The guard hesitantly gave him the keys, and as soon as they were in his possession, Sesshomaru quickly turned to guard into another of his many victims.

"Couldn't have him alerting everyone, now could we?" said Sesshomaru malevolently.

"God I love how you think," said Kaene as an amused smirk formed on her mouth.

"Ok now we have to get out of here, so how fast can you run?"

"Well I dunno cuz nobody's ever been able to see me at full speed."

"Well that's good enough, so let's go," he said, grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the room.

"This is going to take forever," Kaene whined as they ran trough the twisting corridors. Until suddenly they was an obstacle in their way, or actually many smaller obstacles making one large obstacle. It was the whole gang standing in their way, trying to stop them. "Uuuh…I guess we gotta fight then."

They both took battle stances, and tried to fend off the attackers. Kaene still had her sword because it had been left in the room where they had been kept prisoners, and Sesshomaru was using his energy whip, but the constant waves were just too much for them.

"Can you transform?" asked Sesshomaru, now panting slightly from exhaustion.

"Yea, of course."

"Then on the count of three because that's our only hope. One…two…three!"

At that, Sesshomaru transformed into his true demon form and Kaene into hers,a giant black panther with a red diamond on its forehead. Bounding through the attacking demons, they managed to escape outside and bound down the mountain to safety. When they reached a spot that they found safe enough, they both turned back and passed out from exhaustion.
