Me-is it on? it is? okay, good... *aheam* okay everyone Fire Inu Princess here, sorry that I hadn't updated this is so long but a lot has happened since my last update... I was still upset over losing my grandmother in October which is understandable since well... I knew her my whole life and I looked after her for over 5 years while my mom and step dad worked since I was the only one that would be home soon enough to look after her... sigh... hell, I didn't even want to update for a while cause I just couldn't focus on anything... well, the other reason why I hadn't updated was because I started to write NaruHina fanfics if you've noticed on my profile, lol so I have been busy with those too since on Deviantart wanted me to update those quick sometimes and I had to keep going...
Kag-just get on with it!
Me-shut up! anyway, I finally have an idea for chapter 38 and I hope that you enjoy it cause there will be a new character to appear in the chapter
Ayame-yeah me! heehee
Me-you just ruined the surprise... anyway, Ayame will have her own interview in chapter 39 so... go nuts and ask your questions and I'll try to ask her as many as I can...

Me-no... no you don't
Ayame-INUYASHA!

Me-the poor basterd... on with the story! chapter title anyone?
Naraku-Ayame the White Wolf Princess
Me-Naraku? WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE HE ISN'T EVEN IN THE STORY YET! oh, and I wrote something very touching on my profile... I wrote it for my grandma and my family read it and they had burst into tears... they were surprised I was able to write something that sad since... well if you all knew me in real life you'd agree...
Inuyasha had been traveling with everyone for a little while now, he wasn't sure where they were going since he hadn't sensed a jewel shard for a little while now… but he had to at least pretend that he could still sense the jewel shards at the least… Sighing softly, the young man sped up on his bike and watched as everyone ran to the village that was nearby, since they all needed to stock up on some supplies…
Though, Inuyasha couldn't help but have a feeling that something was wrong…
Shaking his head, he kept on riding with the others… Kagome ran next to him, and of course Sango, Miroku and Kirara all rode on Shippou to get to the other village. Inuyasha sighed softly as he moved his one hand and moved it to his left ear… feeling the earring that helped to keep back his inner darkness… it had helped him so far and for that he was thankful… but still, he worried that it would take a hold of him once more.
Shaking his head, Inuyasha wondered what they were to do after, though what he did know was that they still had much ground to cover at this point… Sighing, the young man kept on riding… the village wasn't very far now, he could easily see them but… something didn't seem right at all… least, not at the moment.
"Wonder if they have anything good there…" said Kagome as she ran with everyone and sighed softly. Inuyasha wondered why she seemed so calm… it didn't make any kind of sense at all to him, but she had acted different since Sesshoumaru had attacked the other day and Amaterasu had told Inuyasha… what she meant by beware of the white wolf. It didn't make any kind of sense to him at all, but at moment, it didn't matter… all that mattered right now was to get the supplies and to see if they were okay…
But, when they had entered the village they were shocked at what they saw.
The village was destroyed, huts were ripped apart, and bodies of humans lied on the ground… getting off his bike, Inuyasha ran around the village with the others, making sure if there were any survivors or anything… Inuyasha didn't know why, but he felt like there weren't any… that whoever or whatever had attacked the village made sure that there weren't any survivors at all… not wanting anyone to escape with their lives, not wanting anyone to live to fill their own desires…
Narrowing his eyes, Inuyasha felt like his anger would only burst forward in a blast of energy that would have wiped out demons a hundred mils wide…
"Kagome… do you have any idea what did this?"
"I smell wolves…"
"Wolves… strange, wolves have never been able to do this much damage in my time."
All of this was really confusing, even to Inuyasha and he's someone that can travel through time through a well at his family's shrine… Sighing, he hand a hand through his bangs and knew that the only way he would be able to see what had happened, was if he used one of his abilities but feared that if he even thought of using it that he would lose strength and the earring would lose all power and turn evil again…
The very thought of it made him shudder…
"An attack like this would have been caused by wolf demons…" calmly said Miroku as he crossed his arms over his chest, his expression full of the knowledge of a professional hunter… something that Inuyasha had seen a few times in his time when a few people he knew went hunting with their family…
"That would make some sense Miroku…" said Inuyasha, only to look at the remains of the people that littered the village. Frowning, he felt sorry for them but he knew that they could at least do one last thing for them… "I think we should bury them… give them some peace."
Everyone agreed on that… even Kagome, which Inuyasha thought was weird but then again, she had seen many more things than they would any day and Inuyasha knew that… she was part human after all…
Sighing softly, he started to dig holes for the bodies of those whose lives had ended much too soon.
Looking up at the sky, Inuyasha wondered if they were at peace…? If he could have done anything to bring them back, he would… but sadly, that was a power he did not have and knew, that it would defy the laws of life… Shaking his head, the young man kept on digging along with Miroku while the girls went to get the bodies that were still around to have them buried at the least.
"This world is filled with nothing but war, hate and death… These people have done nothing and yet, they pay the price for it…" Inuyasha whispered to himself before sighing softly, the only thing he could do now was to clear his thoughts… nothing was making sense to him anymore, that was for sure, though he wasn't' sure what he could do now…
Sighing, Inuyasha finished digging and burying the hole and went for a nice walk around the village, maybe there were some supplies around that they could use at the least.
"Inuyasha where are you going?" asked Kagome with confusion.
"Leave him be Kagome, he has a lot on his mind I'm sure." Calmly said Sango with Miroku agreeing with her, only for her to start rubbing his rear… and of course Miroku splashing water in her face. "Where do you keep getting those?" asked the priestess.
"Inuyasha has bottles of them that I refill at a river," was his answer.
As Inuyasha walked around the village, he wondered where everything was… sure the village was destroyed but there is no way that whoever did this could have taken the supplies… Frowning, he thought that he heard a whimpering… Blinking in confusion, Inuyasha walked over to a torn down hut and lifted it as best as he could… and he was surprised at what was under the roof…
An injured wolf cub…
Frowning, Inuyasha held the roof up with his hand, pumping as much sacred energy into his arm to help give him strength, and used his other hand to gently lift the cub into his arms before jumping away from the building and frowned. Looking down at the cub, he saw that it was badly hurt… its white fur was tinted with dirt and some blood from its paws. "Poor thing… come on I'll get you fixed up." Calmly said Inuyasha as he went back to the others, though he couldn't help but look back down at the cub again… it was a white wolf, was this the wolf that Amaterasu was talking about? Nah… this thing was too cute to do anything, let alone piss off Kagome.
When he got back, Inuyasha saw that everyone was sitting at the doorway of one of the few huts that hadn't been destroyed yet…
"Hey Miroku, can you get my first aid kit out of my bag? Sango, I need you to get a comfortable place set up for this little guy… I found him under a roof…"
Kirara jumped up and landed on Inuyasha's shoulder and tilted her head. "She is badly wounded, felt like her pack had left her alone…" Okay, so he was wrong it was a girl. Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha set the cub on the make-shift bed that was prepared and smiled when Miroku handed the first aid kit to him and started to get to work.
"Hm… she might need a bath too… but I'll have to make do with something else since I can't risk letting the wounds infected…" Inuyasha mumbled as he started to get to work, gently cleaning up the wounds that were left on the poor little cub… and careful to wrap up the wound so it would be void of any infection…
Inuyasha wondered why the pup didn't cry or anything… Frowning, he checked to see if it was still alive… Smiling, Inuyasha felt the pup breathe on his fingers so, least that was a good sign. "You're a tough girl aren't you?" said Inuyasha with a chuckle which, he got a soft yip from the cub. As for Kagome, she just rolled her eyes and went to do some hunting…
Inuyasha wasn't sure but he had a feeling that she didn't like wolves at all… weird… 'Ah well, nothing I can do about it… though, I am curious as to why she hates wolves…'
Shaking his head, Inuyasha kept on working on the wolf cub, hoping that she would feel a lot better in the morning. Sighing softly, the young man ran a hand through his hair as he tried to focus on the poor thing… "Miroku, can you find a spring, I feel like I'd need a good soak after this…" If there was one thing Inuyasha didn't like, was not having any kind of dirt on his skin even if it was blood, not that anyone could blame him for that.
Miroku nodded and left, as for Sango, she stayed to help Inuyasha with the cub… though, for some reason the cub nipped at Sango, as if telling her not to help or anything, which was a little strange for Inuyasha to see a wolf cub do… Maybe it was much stronger than he thought she was… with her being a cub and all… Sighing softly, Inuyasha kept on gently wrapping the bandages around the cub's front right leg, and the back left leg and sighed softly… he gently wrapped her tail and around her ribs.
Smiling, Inuyasha gently petted the wolf's head as he said "there you go, just rest okay?"
The cub let out a soft yip before lying down in its bed. Inuyasha smiled before getting up, dusting himself off before leaving the hut and met up with Miroku before both of them went to the springs.
"Inuyasha," began Miroku after they sank in the water… Inuyasha stared at the hunter and frowned in confusion, wondering what Miroku was going to say… "What do you think caused the attack on the village?"
"I'm not sure… but I have a feeling that it was something big, that's for sure… I just don't know what it could be and I'm almost afraid of what it could be…" Inuyasha sighed softly and looked up at the sky, wondering what was in store for them… he knew, that they would be bringing the wolf cub with them for a while till she was well enough and until they found her pack.
Sighing, Inuyasha sank in the water a little more, trying to think on what he could do or what they could do to find the shards without putting the cub in danger… there was no way that this was going to work, that was for sure…
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"I sense three jewel shards, and they're coming straight for the village." Said Inuyasha before he jumped out of the springs, got dressed and ran toward the village. Miroku right behind him after he got dressed, wondering what was going on… though, Inuyasha didn't have time to think about what may happen, he had to hurry up and get his sword to help the others.
When he ran into the hut, Inuyasha blinked when he saw the cub up, wagging her tail and running outside. Frowning, he ran after the cub trying to get her to stop. "Wait!" he shouted after he grabbed his sword… Sango and Kagome were outside when Miroku joined up with them.
A blue tornado was heading their way, Inuyasha could feel the demonic energy within it, though he wasn't sure what was causing it… he had never seen a demon do that before…
Suddenly the tornado stopped and appeared in its place, was a woman… she was a little shorter than Inuyasha, had long red hair pulled up into two pigtails… beautiful green eyes, a blue flower in her hair… around her neck was a necklace which he assume the shards were jade… the cape around her was white fur just like the fur skirt that was around her hips reaching her knees, along with the knee high white fur socks with the open toes and heel.
She wore armor that was as red as her hair… and finally there was a red hilted sword at her waist… Inuyasha did have to admit she was beautiful at the least but what could she possibly want here?
Suddenly, the wolf cub ran straight for the girl and jumped in her arms. The girl smiled as she said "I thought we left you here, we were all so worried about you Hana." Inuyasha just stared at her in shock, the wolf belonged to her? Frowning, he looked at the other wolves that were around her… they were as white as she was… wait… was this the wolf that Amaterasu was talking about?
"This boy helped you?" said the girl as she spoke to the wolf and frowned in confusion. The girl stared at Inuyasha and glared at him. It made Inuyasha gulp but… when he stared at her he saw something… "You human… you helped Hana, why?"
"I love animals, simple as that." Inuyasha calmly said…
"I see… well, since you helped Hana… I'll spare you, instead wolves eat the others." She said, which had made Inuyasha's eyes widen in shock.
Some of the wolves went to Kagome, others went for Sango as Kirara hid on her shoulder and the rest went to Miroku as he tried to fight them off. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and went to help his friends and held his sword. His sword glowed bright blue as he fought the wolves… not really wanting to hurt them at all… all he knew was that he wouldn't hurt the wolves, even if they belonged to this girl he wouldn't hurt an animal so long as he could help it.
"AH!"
Inuyasha turned and saw one of the wolves biting Sango's arm and trying to rip it off. He cursed under his breath as he charged, spinning the sword by its hilt as it transformed into a staff. "Get away from my friends!" He shouted as he swung the staff at the wolf's side, not enough to hurt it badly but enough for the wolf to let go. "You alright Sango?" asked Inuyasha as he helped the priestess up.
"Yeah… I'm fine…" Sango said in a whisper, Inuyasha was about to leave till he felt a certain hand on his ass…
"Damn it Sango not right now or ever!" Shouted Inuyasha as he poked her forehead with the end of his staff and ran off to help the others.
"Hm… that human is honorable…" the wolf girl said to herself with a small smile, her arms crossed over her chest as she stared at Inuyasha… Though, her eyes then turned to the hanyou that was fighting her wolves… "I'll have to kill that hanyou though, an abomination like that shouldn't be around…" She said before charging at Kagome.
Inuyasha turned and his eyes widened. "Kagome be careful! She has jewel shards in her arm and legs!"
Ayame stared at Inuyasha in shock, wondering how he could have known unless… he could see the shards… that were the only reason for him to know… looks like she had just found an interesting human, and her ticket to saving her tribe.
Kagome swung her sword at Ayame and narrowed her eyes. "Another wolf, what I don't need!" She shouted, swinging Tetsusaiga at the wolf demoness. Hoping to get a good solid hit on her, though no matter what, the demon girl just didn't hold still at all… it was as if she could predict her every move. Narrowing her eyes, Kagome swung the sword one more time and when the demon was in the air, Kagome swung her fist at her face.
It was a hit.
The demon girl fell backward and landed on her back. One of the wolves ran to her and licked her cheek whimpering. "I'm fine Jin… I just wasn't expecting the dog to be smart."
"Shut up! Taste my Wind Scar!" shouted Kagome as she got ready to swing the power of her Tetsusaiga… though, before she even had a chance, the demon girl got up and ran off…
"What?"
"Must have sensed the danger, wolves are more in tuned with danger than anyone."
Kagome growled and slid the sword onto her back and sighed in disappointment. Inuyasha just laughed a bit before turning the staff back into a sword and placing t back at his waist. "Don't worry Kagome, with her having jewel shards I'm sure that we'll be able to her." Inuyasha said with a smile, which he only got a nod from her…
It still confused him as to why Kagome seemed to have hated wolves but he didn't bother her abound it, there wasn't a point with her not trusting people still about what she has both seen and done in her past. There just wasn't' a point at this point. Right now, they'll need a good night sleep then they can travel in the morning.
Inuyasha sighed softly as he walked alongside his bike, not really in the mood to ride it, neither does anyone else… Everyone was tired since they had not expected a battle last night and of course, Inuyasha had been suppressing his visions from coming to him, which was a bit draining to him… though, he hasn't told the others as of yet, not wanting them to worry about him at all…
Sighing softly, Inuyasha looked up at the sky, wondering what was in store for them today… Maybe a nice day of peace…
"Hey Inuyasha you okay?" asked Sango with a tilt of her head.
"Yeah… I'm fine, why do you ask?"
"You look like you'll fall over." Said Miroku with a cross of his arms, which was something he did when he was serious… least, one of the few things he did when he was being serious.
"I'm fine…"
"Then why are your legs shaking like they can hardly hold you up?" asked Kagome with a roll of her eyes.
He cursed mentally to himself; he didn't need them to worry about him. Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha calmly said "I didn't have a lot of sleep. It's nothing serious."
"Nothing serious my ass, you're suppressing your powers aren't you?"
"… No…"
"Inuyasha." growled Kagome, not really in the mood for him to be acting like a kid.
Narrowing his eyes, Inuyasha calmly said "look, I don't want to keep having those visions, they cause nothing but pain for me and I'm sick of it Kagome. Just get off my back!" He shouted the last part at her, though when he had done that there was an explosion at the top of the mountain, causing everyone to turn and stare at it with shock. "Run!" shouted Inuyasha as he and the others tried to get away.
Though, a rock at hit him in the back of the head, causing him to pass out… But he never hit the ground… instead; something had zipped by and grabbed Inuyasha. The others had made it out alright, but they didn't know where Inuyasha had gone…
"Where's Inuyasha?" shouted Miroku.
"I… I don't know he was there a moment ago!" shouted Sango, concerned for her friend.
"Inuyasha this is no time to be playing tricks on us!" shouted Kagome as she growled; trying to find his scent… instead, the scent was covered with wolves… "Damn it…"
"Looking for him…" said a familiar voice.
Everyone looked up and gasped… it was the wolf girl from yesterday, and on her back was an unconscious Inuyasha… Narrowing their eyes, everyone demanded to know who she was, and what she wanted from Inuyasha. Which, she only laughed. "I am Ayame of the White Wolves… and, I want this man to get me some shards… See you losers later."
With that said, Ayame disappeared in a blue and white tornado, along with Inuyasha… the only other sound that was made, was Kagome screaming out "FUCKING WOLVES!"
