I am so sorry that I hadn't updated in so long , for this story by bucket of ideas was flown to China , and I didn't receive it back till today . But I will update next week as soon as possible.

Chapter 7

The next day ,as usual, Ayame accompanied Koga to his until now the city of Osaka ,has been behaving well, meaning he didn't have to be out of the office doing the work in a 'hands on' mode. Ayame didn't like to be a drag, so she helped all around the office, the only thing she knew how to do well enough was art , but she didn't seem to mind getting different papers photocopied, getting coffee,or just helping out in general, atleast she was keeping her mind and body busy. After about maybe two or three hours of helping some of the different employees that worked inside office , she decided to hed back to Koga , surely he needed help in knocked on the door lightly ,just for good manners.(Koga being a youkai can already sense her presence and smell)

"Do you need any help with anything?"She asked warmly . Koga looked up from a document he was reading , a bit unsure of what to answer.

"Not really, but you should go to Kagome, Inuyasha and her had been giving a special case , and trust me , they need all the help that they can get ."

"A special case? But isn't Kagome from the lab?" she asked.

"Yes , well being in the lab you can say its her specialty , but she originally was also a detective like Inuyasha . Plus the woman is a walking youkai history encyclopedia."Koga said.

"Well so much for quality time." she thought a bit dissapointed. Ayame headed out of his office, to the file room, where she was told Kagome was.

The sound of paper being shredded and rummaging was heard clearly from the file room, as she was about to enter a loud and frustrating sound was heard.

"Are you okay?" Ayame asked, concerned for her friend's unusual emotional state.

"You!!!! You're a wolf demon, right?" Kagome asked.

"No a pigeon demon, what the hell do you think!!!! Ayame exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, I'm just ....... I am really glad I got a case , but I haven't found a single clue on it ,and my partner is leaving almost everything to me . The frustrated girl answered back.

"Well tell me what's the case about and I'll do my best to help you"

"It's actually really old, and hasn't been solved in many years, but now they renewed the case. I'm really good at youkai history .but apparently they didn't teach me about this. Have you heard about the sacred scrolls of the four wolf demon tribes?"

"I'm not sure .....Maybe I've heard of it from someone....."

"All I know of is that right when the feudal era ended, this race of demon, became almost extinct. It is said that their are four sacred scrolls, each hold the power of a wolf demon tribe. I got the main idea on what they are, but I can't find any location or anything like that. I thought that by looking into these old files their was bound to bee an article, or at least a crime related to it." Kagome said.

Ayame looked around the room, it wasn't a big room, but it certainly wasn't small, and all the clutter on the floor just made it seem worst. She gulped at the thought of actually cleaning all this mess.

"Do you have any idea how long would take to put all these files exactly where they belong? Ohhh, I don't have anything to do so ................ but still where is Inuyasha,he should be the one helping her not me!!!" Ayame thought.

"Kagome , where is Inuyasha?"

"How would I know? He spent the whole day out; the big idiot isn't helping in anything!!!" Kagome shot back.

"Well why don't you complain to Koga? He'll probably set him straight."Ayame suggested.

" Nah , even though to me he really is a big idiot , I just can't find a way to do something like that to him , I'm not completely heartless you know " Kagome said warmly.

"Well it's nice to know, I get some respect from my..... partner."Inuyasha said as he walked in, the last word with an unsure voice.

"You ..... You heard that ....."Kagome said looking way, blushing. Inuyasha didn't notice but the other person in the room certainly did.

"She likes him!!!!After all that fighting and bickering, she actually likes him!!! I HAVE to make them a couple, I just HAVE to!!!" Ayame thought eagerly.

"What are you so excited about?" Inuyasha asked motioning towards Ayame .

"Me ....What about you where the hell have you been, because I'll tell you one thing, you have NOT been helping your partner with your assignment." Ayame snapped.

"For your information .... I have been working on the case, but I needed to get out to get it, she didn't come because you didn't want" Inuyasha shot back.

"Wait a second , I have double the responsibility , I am a detective , plus I'm the best at the lab , today I haven't had much work but my lab partner Hojo , called in sick . So I have all the work to myself. Plus look at this room right now, I've been searching file after file, to see if their is something related to the case .I am doing my job!!!! So don't you dare tell others in front of me that I haven't!!!" Kagome screamed, and walked out furiously. Inuyasha catched on to the smell of salt, it came from her.

"See, now you made her cry!!" Ayame said sternly to Inuyasha.

Ayame reached Kagome, she gave her a shoulder to cry on, and when she finally stopped.

"Kagome, it'll be alright, I'll help you out, I'll visit Koga's mom later on. She used to run an antique shop for many years, I'm sure she must know something." Ayame said soothingly.

"Thanks Ayame, you're the best."

"I know." she replied with a warm smile.

"I've been meaning to ask you, why is it that your with Koga all the time? Are you his girlfriend?" Kagome asked before getting up.

"Well, I actually USED to be his girlfriend, back in high school, but due too different reasons we had to break up."

"Oh, but, I mean, why are you here out of all places, are you guys getting back together? You really do make a good couple."

"It's not that easy. Shortly after Koga left, I met someone else, up to this day, unfortunately, he is my husband."

"You don't love your husband?"

"More like he didn't give me a reason to love him anymore, it turned out that his so called love for me was nothing but a big lie. When I found out, and saw his true colors, he started beating me. I married when I was nine teen, the first year and half was normal, but then it all changed. I endured all of it , because I had no choice , the doors were made of the most solid material , the windows were bullet proof, the phone was always under his control .Now that I think back on it , I guess it was just destiny , if I hadn't let go of Koga in that time , he might of never been the chief inspector of this police station ,meaning it would just be another cop pretending to care about my problem. Unfortunately I suffered a lot during the last time I saw my husband , I was with child, but when he found out , he gave me a beating that was so bad , I had a miscarriage . It was all for the best, I think, to be honest I wouldn't want any child of mine to be born with that kind of father." Ayame finally said, she realized this time that their were no tears, all these memories were part of the past, and she intended it to stay that way. Kagome hugged her tightly.

"Sometimes, life can be so unfair to people" Kagome said.

"That is true, but if you look at it, by my point of view, if none of this wouldn't have happened I wouldn't have been able to reunite with Koga, right?" Ayame said assumingly.

"You still like him, don't you?"

"Ye......"

"Ayame, are you hungry? Im going to get lunch, do you want to come?" Koga asked.

"Sure" She said, and walked with him. Ayame turned her head a bit while she walked to catch a glimpse of Kagome and casually nodded.
