Chapter 4: Complications
Ayame had tears streaming down her cheeks. 'How could he lie to me like that?' she thought as she ran into her cave. She had learned to deal..well was trying to deal with the fact that he had forgotten about the promise, but remembering and lying to her so he could go after Kagome...that that was unexcuisible in her book. Entering the cave she passed a worried looking Niku as she threw herself on the bed and let the tears fall freely. Niku nudged at her and barked wanting to know what was wrong. Ayame sniffled and sat up, "Oh Niku-kun...Kouga remembered about the lunar rainbow...and he lied to me! Can you believe it? He LIED to me!" Her response was a lick on the cheek. "Am I really that undesireable Niku? That men have to lie to keep me away? What's wrong with me" The wolf princess whispered as tears left her emerald green eyes once more. Her poor pet wolf did all he could do under the circumstances which was be there for her. As the night went on the young wolf fell asleep holding her companion and pet Niku, like a teddy-bear.
As the sun began to rise so did the other wolves of the clan, including Niku. Ayame was unfortunately a heavy sleeper meaning Niku had to wake her somehow. Seeing as his paws here a little useless right now he licked her face making the girl twitch. "Alright alright I'm up Niku" Ayame laughed lightly wiping her face. A sigh escaped her lips as she stood up and stretched letting Niku run off. Hikari came walking up to her friend, "Good morning sleepy head. Kouga and the others are waiting for you"
This news made Ayame perk up, "What? Why are they still here? Their wolves are healed and they have been fed and stayed the night. I see no reason why I need to have anything more to do with Kouga" she snapped. "Hon, relax alright? It would be wrong of them not to say good bye...after all we did grow up together..or has that thought slipped your mind?"
Ayame rolled her green eyes at her friend, "Hikari, I really wanted nothing more to do with him! Must I say good bye?" The princess was met with a stare that told her: "Get your little leader ass out there!"
This made Ayame sulk slightly, "Fine fine I'm going I'm going" Sometimes Hikari could act more like a mother than a friend. As Ayame exited her cave she was blinded by the sun, it was much darker in her cave then it was outside. She couldn't see anything and bumped into somebody. "Oh I'm so-" Ayame stopped in midsentence seeing who she had bumped into. "Oh wonderful" she muttered sarcastically. Kouga raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you okay Ayame?". Ayame just glared at him with green fire in her eyes, "Good bye Kouga" Then she turned around making her hair hit him in the face. She smiled at Ginta and Hakkaku, "Bye you guys!" She hugged them. "I hope to see you two around" Then Ayame began her way towards her cave.
"Hold it right there Ayame" Kouga growled grabbing her arm. A slap could be heard throughout the forest, but all the wolves who had witnessed it froze in shock. "You listen to me Kouga, I never want you near me again and if you EVER touch me again you will get way worse than just a slap" Ayame scowled tears pricking her eyes. She was furious at him, no beyond furious, there wasn't a word with the right connotation for what she was feeling right now. The leaves in the trees that surrounded the White Wolf territory rustled, the only sound that could be heard before Ayame stomped back to her cave. Kouga touched his cheek softly and winced, that girl had one hell of a slap.
"K-kouga are you okay?" Hakkaku stuttered slightly still in shock that his leader had been smacked. "Yeah I'm fine" Kouga shrugged it off, but the fact that Ayame despised him so much really hit a nerve. Had he really gotten her that mad at him. Well appearantely so...Kouga thought as he turned around and silently began leading his pack away.
With Kouga
Ouch..that hurt the wolf prince thought as he rubbed his cheek. The pack had stopped near a river to rest for a little while. It was useless, no matter how hard he tried Ayame was always running away from him. She annoyed him so much that Kouga didn't know why he even bothered to try and clear things up between them. Even though he thought that Kouga knew that he would continue trying. He and Ayame had grown up together as had many of the others in both the white and brown wolf packs had, so he felt that they should at least be on speaking terms. Kouga sighed scratching his head. Women were so complicated, he stretched and stood up.
There was a rustle in the bushes making Kouga sniff the air for a scent. A snake demon...it was weak so he could handle it no problem. "Come out here you slithering coward" he called out. "I ssssee you possesss the sssssacred jewel shardsssss...give them to me" The snake demon hissed as he left the bushes. He had green and scaly skin and beady yellow eyes, and as he pronounced his "s's" his snake like tongue ecaped his mouth. This made Kouga scoff, "Why should I give a weakling like you anything?"
The beady yellow eyes of the demon narrowed, "You insulent pup! I am the great Kincotsssi! Now hand over the jewel shardssss if you do not want to die a sssslow and painful death". Now Kouga had to laugh at that, "You kill me? I'd like to see you try"
Unknown to Kouga he was just talking to the demon puppet of the snake demon, and the real Kincotsi was behind him. The puppet grinned, "I shall" At that presice moment Kincotsi wrapped himself tightly around Kouga and bit him in the shoulder. "The poison shall kill you in a day, pup...now for the jewel shar-" Kincotsi stopped seeing the smirking Kouga, who now had one of his hands free and he grabbed the snake's neck squeezing it tightly . Kincotsi's grip on Kouga loosened until Kouga sliced the demon to pieces. Kouga was gasping for breath as sweat began to fall down his face. His knees gave in as he fell on them.
Out of the corner Ginta and Hakkaku came running, "Kouga! Hey Kouga! Are you okay?" they asked as they kneeled beside their leader. "P-poison" Kouga rasped. "We better get him back to the mountains" Ginta suggested. "Yeah Ayame'll know what to do with him" agreed Hakkaku. Together they lifted up their leader and began they're way.
With Ayame
That stubborn, insolent, ignorant!- Ayame raved on and on in her mind as she paced around angrily in her cave. She couldn't stand seeing that he felt as if he had done nothing wrong, even if he apologized it would be an empty apology. Right now Kouga was the object of her loathe. She froze realizing the fact that she no longer loved him...or did she. To tell the truth Ayame herself wasn't sure. An irratated sigh left her lips as she ran her fingers through her auburn hair. "Oh my god!" she heard a wolf demon cry. Quickly running out she looked out and saw Hikari her hands at her mouth. She was just gaping at nothing, following her gaze Ayame's eyes widened. Ginta and Hakkaku were carrying a barely conscious Kouga. "Oh kami! You guys what happened!" Ayame exclaimed running to the 3. "Ay-yame..." Kouga gasped. "He's been poisoned Ayame" Ginta began. "He'll die in a day if we don't do something" Hakkaku finished.
Ayame's eyes were pricked with tears and quickly she shook her head. "Take him into my cave, Hikari get the healer, and Niku go find Kagome" She ordered. Hikari nodded but looked at her leader curiously, "Kagome?". "Act now ask later go!" Ayame snapped. That was all Hikari needed before she ran off after an already leaving Niku. Ayame ran back into her cave. Kouga was on her bed sweating like hell, and she quickly reached for a cloth and moistened it, before dabbing Kouga's forhead. "You're going to be okay Kouga...you're strong..." She whispered to him. Ginta and Hakkaku just watched sadly and helplessly. Kouga groaned. "Where the hell is Hikari with the healer and Kagome!" Ayame growled.
"Who knows where Kagome-neesan is? And I doubt Kouga would want-" began Hakkaku. "If we want him to live we need Kagome's help. Do you want him to survive?" Ayame growled glaring up at Hakkaku. Hakkaku nodded answering silently. Ayame knew she should be mad at Kouga right now, but she was just mad at him...she didn't wish death for him. Even through all this..a small part of her still was loyal to him. Kouga hissed in pain. He is going to live...he just has to thought Ayame as she chewed her lower lip.
