Chapter 1: An eye-catching proposal

^*^*^*^*^*^*

"What a day," Ayame yawned as she sprawled out on her favorite rock above the waterfall to the white wolf den. She flicked her tail contently allowing her mint green eyes to gleam in the remaining moments of sunlight. "To think I almost missed this to go swimming with Sango and Kagome." Ayame looked towards the sky just as the sun was setting behind the mountains setting the wisps of clouds in the lower half of the sky ablaze with a fiery orange and red glow. She lightly stroked the muzzle of a nearby wolf who lazily rolled over and let his tongue flop out of his mouth in return.

"What's this Kagome? Looks like we found our deserter, let's circle and pounce." Sango smirked placing her hands on her hips and flipping her tail in a taunting manner.
"Abandoning your pack, are we?" Kagome smiled mischievously making brief eye contact then shaking like a dog spraying water over her two accomplices and the nearby lounging white wolves who were now wide awake. ((Death glare))

"You got me, but me and my wolves don't allow dogs in our pack" Ayame narrowed her eyes to slits and flashed a quick smile before playfully pouncing on Kagome closely followed by Sango.
"Hentai!" Kagome squealed as her ears pricked up hearing the soft sound of twigs crunching beneath someone's swiftly feet.

"What!? Look out," Ayame pushed Sango's and Kagome's heads down as she winced as an arrow shot past her face slicing a small snip of her hair and sinking into the tree behind the girls.
"Hey get off me, what are you trying to do suffocate me?!?!" Sango cried flailing her arms in the air gasping for air. ((Regains composure)) "Whoever that was their aim sucks"
"Ya, I could do better with my eyes closed." Ayame closed her eyes while pretending to fire an arrow at Sango who theatrically "died" after taking the blow to her chest.
"What's this?" Kagome pulled the arrow from the tree. "What a strange scent," Her eye caught a small piece of parchment attached with a small piece of string. "I don't think they wanted to hit us at all." She turned it over in her hands to find a not neatly inscribed into the other side. "I think you guys better have a look at this."
"Hmm let me see." Ayame stood up and plucked the note from Kagome's grasp. "You have been invited to compete for a chance to expand your territory. It will be worth your while. Follow these directions and claim what's rightfully yours. Well that's a lot of bull shit." Ayame crumpled the note and threw it over her shoulder. Letting her eyes fall to the ground. She focused on the piece of her hair that was cut off and lying limply on the ground. She clenched her fist as she closed her eyes trying to keep calm. "Why you little son of a bitch come back here I have three presents for you!" Ayame turned towards the forest knocking down three trees; the first two with her fist and the third with her right leg. "When I get done with you wont be so quick to invite me to anywhere, I swear you're gonna wish you hadn't missed." ((Continuous ranting))

"Are you sure?? I mean we could always use more land." Sango picked up the note and smoothed out the creases. "Sure we're not exactly enemy free but do you really think it's a trap?"
"I don't know if we can trust whoever this was though. I mean we didn't even get a good look at them, a look at all for that matter." Ayame finished letting off steam and cut in.
"I say we go for it. It won't be anything we can't handle. Besides I could use a change of scenery." She walked over to the edge of the cliff above the waterfall and took in a deep breath of cool, fresh, forest air and sighed. " So when do we get going?"
"Well I'm in if you think so Ayame, more land means more power." Sango leaned against Ayame.
"Okay guys if you say so. We're out of here!" Kagome cheered. "Wait, what's that smell." The girls turned to see..
