Sesshomaru and Ayami made quick work of the demons. Osutin was unconscious along with the other male and two of the females. The last one of the group was crawling alongside the clearing, searching for a way to escape.

"So, Sesshomaru, how was that? That is the most fun you will have at this party, so you might as well relish it. Come on, we have to take her, back to my father." Ayami said, advancing on the lone female wolf.

Sesshomaru nodded and picked up the wolf as Ayami held her tight.

They took off towards the castle, Sesshomaru slightly behind Ayami holding the struggling prisoner. It took them longer to reach the castle because as they got closer, the prisoner began struggling more and more. Finally, Ayami lost her patience. She stopped and spun around to face the wolf.

"What is your name?" Ayami asked, venom lining her voice.

"Uh…Jein. My name is Jein." She answered, shying away from the angry demon in front of her.

"Ok, Jein, stop trying to escape. You never will. I just want to go home and take a bath and relax. I don't like parties, but when you interrupt my sister's mating, you will pay." Ayami spat at Jein.

The wolf flinched away as they started moving again. It was dark now, so they followed the lights of the party back. Ayami kept muttering to herself while Jein started whimpering. Just as Sesshomaru thought that Ayami would lose it again, they broke through the trees and into the party.

"Sesshomaru, wait here, I'm going to go find my father." Ayami told him.

Sesshomaru nodded content not to get into the throng of single female demons. Ayami walked away, trying to sense her father.



"Ayami, you father is looking for you." Someone called.

"Oh, Asura, where is he? I need him to come to the edge of the forest, now. If you could go get him for me that would be great." Ayami said, hugging Chey's twin.

"I will get him. Oh, and Ayami, watch yourself, Chey and Lord Buraian are both looking for you." Asura warned, slipping away.

"Thanks for the warning, Asura! I appreciate it a lot." Ayami said, also slipping through the crowd.

Ayami got back to Sesshomaru just as her father did. Happy to see his daughter, Kotarou gave her a hug and began asking questions. She brushed off the questions and lead Sesshomaru and her father to the castle.

"Father, give it a rest, I'm not in the mood. Once we get to your study, I'll explain." Ayami said, stopping her father's questions.

They continued walking with Jein on the shoulder of Sesshomaru. When they finally got to the study, Sesshomaru threw Jein on the nearest seat. Ayami went for the seat across from the wolf and Sesshomaru took a place behind her. Kotarou just stood looking from one face to the next.

"Okay, Father, this is Jein. She was part of the wolf party Sesshomaru and I found working their way towards the castle. And guess who was leading the little sneaking party. Osutin was. I don't know what they want and I don't care, as long as Ayuki's day is not ruined. Now, if you can take care of her, I will take Sesshomaru to our baths so we can clean up. I will see you later, Father." Ayami explained, before lunging for Jein, making the fearful wolf flinch again. Ayami laughed and motioned for Sesshomaru to follow her.

As they laughed, they heard Jein whimper in fear. Ayami laughed again, knowing that her father would not hurt the wolf. He would probe her until she gave way.

"Sesshomaru, thank you for your help. The baths are this way. Towels and everything you might need are in there. Go ahead. I will see you when you come out." Ayami said pointing towards the door.

As Sesshomaru went in, Ayami headed away from the baths. She was off to find the guard to gather the other four wolves. The guards were sitting outside the castle, watching for potential danger.



"Hello, I need you guys to do me a favor." Ayami said sweetly.

"Yes, Lady Ayami?" one guard asked, bowing low.

"There are four wolves out about a mile from here; two males and two females. You might even recognize one of the males as Osutin. Go and get them and if they aren't there, find them." Ayami ordered, losing the sweetness from her voice.

All the demon guards bowed and raced away. Ayami satisfied that that business was taken care of, went off in the direction of her room to get a new kimono and obi.

After getting fresh clothes, she went off to get some new clothes for Sesshomaru. Once that was finished, she headed back to the baths where Sesshomaru was just climbing out.

Sesshomaru realized then that he had no fresh clothing. Thus he put on a robe and opened the door to find a fresh pair of clothing waiting for him. He slipped back into the room and put on the clothes, silently thanking Ayami for them, knowing that she had made sure that he was taken care of.

'She is smart and capable. Anyone who had her as a mate would prosper for years to come.' Sesshomaru thought, sitting on a bench to wait for the female who had captivated him.
