Ch.10~Get over yourself

"I'll help you find her." I wasn't sure if I'd heard someone speaking or not. I felt like all the words floating around in my head weren't my own. I couldn't figure out how to wrap my mind around this whole thing. I was so mixed up. Was someone speaking? I felt something shaking me, but just barely. I couldn't feel much of anything.did someone just hit me?

"Wake up! Snap out of it!" Shrill cries pounded in brain, I was awake all right.

My hands instantly wrapped around Ayame's neck, and the old hanyou came out. "Why are you yelling in my ears?" I growled at her. Much to my surprise, she smiled. She pried my hands off her neck, and smiled that grotesque smile once more.

"Finally, you're back. You've been out of it for a few hours. All this time we could have been searching for the miko. I would normally not get involved, but it would be a crime to leave someone as unstable as you to themselves. No wonder Kagome is always by your side." At the mere mention of his kidnapped love, Inuyasha's eyes began to glaze over again. "Oh no you don't!" Ayame began to smack the lovesick boy as hard as she could.

"Hey! Stop it!" The hanyou shouted, and he covered his face with his arms.

"I will, only if you stop feeling sorry for yourself. Kagome needs our help, incase you've forgotten, Naraku isn't the nicest demon around. If I were you, I would have been on their trail as soon as I found that she was gone. Come on Inuyasha, I'll help you find the girl, but you've got to stop thinking of yourself, and start thinking about HER."

Inuyasha nodded, he was too ashamed of himself to say anything. Ayame was right, he had to stop acting like a child, and help Kagome. He had to find her, that's all there was to it.

"La La La .." Ayame and Inuyasha had been traveling for a few hours, and the she-demon had been singing, and not very well, for most of that time.

"Would you stop! I'll rip your tongue out if you sing "Under the Moon" one more time. Better yet, I'll tear out voice box." Ayame ignored the boy, knowing it was his only distraction. He had been trying very hard to concentrate on finding the miko, and not thinking of the fact that she wasn't there. It broke the demoness's heart to see him so torn, so she let him go on with his death threats.

Kagome woke from her long sleep feeling confused. Where was she? How did she get here? Where was Inuyasha? And, why was it so cold?

"Hello, My dear, I thought you'd never wake. You and I have much to discuss. Like payment for saving you."

Sorry, it was short & kind of boring, but it is another of those transition chapters (the next one won't be). Ayame may/may not be permanent. Inuyasha needed someone to help get over the initial shock of losing Kagome, and since none of the gang is with him, I used an outside character. The rest of the group may come into the picture, but I'm not sure yet.Ayame is sort of a motherly figure to Inuyasha, if you're wondering (or she will be...) Next chapter will be longer.
