When the girls got back to camp it was dark. And everyone was getting ready to go to sleep. Koga (A/N: sorry I forgot about him) stood up and announced that he was leaving and he requested to speak to Inuyasha.
So Inuyasha stood up and walked with Koga in silence for a little while. Then Koga broke the silence first.
"You know, we've never really gotten along before, and I wanna say I'm sorry, you're not bad. It's just that we were fighting over Kagome and well I want us to get along."
"Well, you're right. You're not bad either and I just really loved Kagome is all."
"Great so we're friends now?"
"Yea."
"Okay well I wanna go and get Ayame, besides as long as Kagome is happy then I'll move on with her. But before I go I should tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"You need to move on. Kikyo doesn't care about you anymore."
"What do you mean? Of course she-"
"No I heard her talking to Naraku 2 days ago. She was planning on killing you and Kagome and everyone else. Lucky for me Naraku was weak, because of him being a half demon. So he didn't smell me. But I was following his scent, that's how I heard them."
"Hmm. Well thanks I guess, but I can't kill her. I'll just have to have Kagome send her back to hell, hopefully without-"
"Trust me you won't be going with her. Just promise me you'll protect Kagome? I mean I'll be back tomorrow night with Ayame but-"
"Yea I will. Don't worry. Just make sure you hurry back."
"Alright. Later Inuyasha."
And with that, Koga was off to find Ayame. Inuyasha watched him leave then he went in the opposite direction. When he arrived back at camp he went in a tree, taking Kikyo with him so that she wouldn't get suspicious. And everyone was asleep. Inuyasha had his eyes closed when he heard Kikyo say something. He would have asked her what she said but she spoke clearly after that.
Kik: "You're such a stupid fool, Inuyasha. Do you really think that I love you? Oh well after tomorrow Naraku will attack your friends and you"ll have already been dead and in hell with me, where you belong."
As she said that, she thought that Inuyasha was asleep and went to sleep as well. Inuyasha couldn't believe what he heard, she was using him and he fell for it. That night Inuyasha went to sleep with a broken heart.
Meanwhile Koga reached at the northern den and asked the elders to speak with Ayame. The elders allowed him to speak with her after he explained that he wanted to make Ayame his mate.
Now we find Koga and Ayame walking under the stars through the forest as they headed to a clearing talking about different things.
"Ayame, I want you to be my mate," Koga said out of the blue.
"But Koga, what about Kagome?"
"Well I love her, but I've always held a place for you in my heart as well and she's found someone already."
"So she's with Inuyasha and that's why you want me, because you can't have her," Ayame said, with a hint of beginning anger.
"No. She's with Lord Sesshomaru. And you have every right to believe otherwise, but I never wanted to admit it, but I do love you. And you both are strong, funny, smart, beautiful, and many other things but in your own ways. And I like no I love your ways even more, because I love you even more."
"Oh Koga, I didn't know you felt that way...I love you too."
And with that the two wolf demons kissed under the stars and headed back to the den. On the way back Koga told Ayame that they would have to go find Inuyasha and the others because the battle with Naraku was to take place soon. Ayame understood and said she would be by his side throughout the fight. So in the early morning they would leave and be meeting everyone else.
The next morning at dawn they left to find their friends.
Back at camp with the Gang
The gang was awake and Kagome was preparing breakfast. Sango and Miroku went for a walk to get some alone time and Sesshomaru wanted to have rabbit for breakfast, so he went to hunt.
Inuyasha wanted to talk to Kagome about Kikyo and he got the chance when Kikyo said she had to check up on the villagers she was taking care of. So he walked over to Kagome and began, "Kagome may I speak with you?"
Kags: "Sure."
Inu: "Look Kagome, I know that I hurt you but I'm sorry, I love you and your with Sesshomaru now. And as long as your happy...then I'm happy. Can you forgive me for everything that I've done to you?"
Kags: "Oh Inuyasha, of course I can. I know your hurting but I still love you, but only as a brother...are you ok with-"
Inu: "Yea just as long as you forgive me, then I'm happy."
"Good then step away from my mate half breed," came Sesshomaru's cold voice as he just arrived back with his choice for breakfast.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome gave him a warning look and he backed down.
Inu: "Thanks Kagome. I guess you figured there was more..."
Kags: "Yea so what's wrong?"
Inu: ⌠Its Kikyo she▓s planning to kill me and last night I heard her talking in her sleep saying that tomorrow Naraku would come here to have the final battle. She lied to me and┘┘..you have to kill her. She▓s going to kill me today, you have to kill her.■
Kags: ⌠Are you sure you want me to do that?■
