Ai soon found herself wandering around the castle grounds, her hands drawn into tight little fists and mind thinking of only one thing, how could Nanashi have done this to her and why had she allowed it? Ai wasn't a stupid girl, she should have known that his intentions weren't true but something inside of her wanted to believe that he loved her as much as she loved him. Her undying love was now replaced by an unyielding rage, she would make Nanashi pay for his betrayal or she would die trying. Hell hath no fury than that of a woman scorned, that was a lesson that Nanashi would soon learn, and learn the hard way. Ai had no intentions of becoming his jilted lover and then laying down and excepting her fate, Nanashi would rue the day that he carelessly tossed this demon-ess aside.
Ai wasn't entirely sure how long she had been ambling around the castle, hour's maybe but she was surprised to see Sesshomaru return. Had it been two days already, had that much time passed? Ai shook her head and tried to clear her thought, that's when she noticed that Kagome was not with Lord Sesshomaru. Suddenly Ai was griped with real fear, what if something had happened to Kagome while they had traveled to Totosai's…what if Lord Sesshomaru had killed her. Ai left the courtyard quickly and sprinted to Kagome's quarters…
"Please let her be alright." She whispered to herself, all the jealousy and dismay she had felt earlier over Nanashi's feelings towards Kagome was soon gone. Ai knew that Kagome did not return Nanashi's feelings; after all it was not Kagome's fault that Nanashi was a dog. No pun intended.
Ai raced down the corridor, her bare feet pounding painfully against the cold stone floor of the castle. She stopped abruptly as she neared Kagome's door, there was a light on inside and she heard voices. Her heart stopped pounding for a moment as she pictured Kagome safely in her room and Kyo or Sani in there with her, they obviously were worried about her as well, Kyo couldn't stop talking about how much he feared that Sesshomaru was going to get fed up and kill the girl. A relieved smile surfaced on Ai's face as she walked towards the open doorway, intent on welcoming her knew friend back but as she drew closer she realized that the male voice she heard was neither Kyo nor Sani, but Lord Nanashi. Ai narrowed her eyes as once again she felt that old familiar rage, so the Dog had come back, snarling after his next conquest. She would warn Kagome of Nanashi's treacheries and laugh when Kagome throws him out of her room, but when she stepped into the open doorway, she gasped and nearly fell over as she saw Nanashi and Kagome, sitting on the Hanyou girl's bed, embracing and sharing a passionate kiss.
"Not you too Kagome." Ai whispered. She slowly backed up then ran down the hall, back the way she had come until she was safely away from Kagome's chambers. She leaned against the wall and bit her bottom lip as she felt hot tears sting her eyes. "Not you too Kagome." She hissed between clenched teeth, "I thought you were my friend." Her hands once more twisted into angry little fists, her claw like nails tearing into her own flesh so that tiny drops of blood splattered onto the floor beneath her.
"I'll make you pay." She cried into the darkness of the corridor, "I'll make you both pay."
Savannah: O.o she's angry...

Savannah: Yeah I probably would also...hmmmm...
Adrian: While she's thinking, REVIEW!
