A/N: I didn't have a lot of ideas, but I guess it has been a while since I written anything like this, really. I think next I might write a sequel to 'Secret Admirer' (Renkotsu x Ginkotsu).

Title: Every Heart

Summary: Unexpectedly, Ayame runs into Kagome and Sango. Quite a few times.

Pairing(s): Kagome/Ayame/Sango

Ayame walked, wolves by her side, on the quiet night. She thought about everything that had happened recently, though there was so much. From that hair monster to that thing Koga had taken care of, and having met that girl, Kagome..

She stopped, sitting down by a river, which her wolves drank from.

Kagome was nice, but anyone could see she clearly wasn't really interested in Koga. That was something Ayame had been sure of. It was obvious, although it didn't seem as though Koga realized that. Or, Inuyasha, for that matter.

One of the wolves walked up to her and lifted her hand onto its head, so she began petting it while she took in the scenery. It was pretty, although it certainly wasn't anything close to the lunar rainbow. There were some small bushes of flowers, close by the trees, and the mountains were visibly in the distance. The night sky reflected on the water, which completed the scenery.

Ayame wasn't sure what to do anymore. Koga refused to marry her, as he was in love with Kagome now. But if she didn't marry him, how would the wolf tribes come together? It was the only way, wasn't it? Ayame had trained all her life, keeping his promise in mind. But now, as she realized it didn't mean nearly as much to him as it did to her, it made her consider finding a different solution. There had to be at least on alternative, right? When the wolf let her, she stopped petting it and focused on her thoughts, and everything she was worried about.

She took the flower out of her hair, gazing down at it as her fingers brushed against the petals.

Ayame hoped there was a way they could stop the tribes from fighting,

At the sound of footsteps approaching, Ayame turned her head cautiously, a bit surprised when it turned out to be Kagome and Sango. She had known they were near by, being a wolf demon, but she hadn't expected to run into them.

"Kagome." Ayame stated.

Kagome walked closer, smiling, as she sat down near Ayame, followed by Sango, "Hey, Ayame." She greeted, "How are things in the northern mountains?"

"Things are... Alright for the moment." Ayame said. Things had been quite eventful lately, with that Kyokotsu guy and all, and aside from that the wolf demon tribes weren't getting alone that well.

Ayame stared at the water, as the three of them sat in silence for a long time.

"How are things going with Naraku?" Ayame asked.

"He still has most of the jewel shards," Kagome answered, "The only ones we know of for sure are the one in Kohaku's back and the ones in Koga's legs. On top of that, he made a new incarnation. But we're getting closer and closer to defeating him."

The three of them talked for a long time, slowly becoming friends even if they didn't quite realize it.

Kagome seemed to be so positive about the situation with Naraku, as though she was sure they could defeat him. That was yet another thing about Kagome that Ayame would learn, and soon there would be a lot more..

After Kagome and Sango had left to go where they had originally intended, Ayame left a little bit later with her wolves. Surprisingly enough, that was only one of few times Ayame would happen to run into them.

The second time, she was just with Sango, who sat in a small field, deep in thought late at night. She certainly had looked beautiful there, as Ayame frequently noticed that Kagome and Sango tended to.

She had been in the area at that time, and they had ended up running into each other. She had sat near Sango, while they talked about several topics. She told Ayame more about herself, and she even learned the demon cat who was playing with her wolves was named Kirara.

"That's why I'm looking for Naraku with them," Sango explained quietly.

"I didn't know Naraku had done all of that."

Ayame hadn't originally known much about Sango, and she felt almost surprised how well the two of them got along, or for that matter how she got along with Kagome, considering Koga was in love with her. But yet, as Ayame and her talked that night, even though their conversation seemed insignificant, somehow it wasn't.

"That's why we're all working to defeat him.." Sango said, "Naraku has most of the jewel shards, so once we do we may be able to destroy it."

"Good luck." Ayame had smiled slightly, as the wind rushed through their hair gently.

The third time, she helped them in a fight against yet another one of Naraku's incarnations, which was quite different from the hair demon she and Koga had fought, who rode on a demon horse. Somewhere in the fight, he retreated and Naraku helped him get away with a demon puppet, alongside a variety of different demons, which she helped them defeat. Kagome and Sango were strong, in many different ways she noticed.

The fourth time, she was talking to Kagome again, the fox child and Inuyasha near her as she was heading home, bringing a strange contraption towards a well.

They had talked about a variety of topics, learning more about the other as the conversation continued, until eventually Kagome put the contraption (which she referred to as a 'bicycle') beside the well and jumped in, disappearing. The fox child, Shippo, calmly explained it to her afterwards.

It seemed, as the time passed, Ayame began to understand just why Koga liked Kagome so much, as she saw how strong, loyal and fearless she was. And then there was Sango, who was an incredibly strong person, not to mention her cleverness and bravery.

As they continued running into each other, the three ended up becoming closer until they were close friends, and then one day, maybe more.
