Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha drops head I WISH I DID!!! Fallen
It was ugly worse than ugly it was... hideous. Naraku's new body now bloody and in shreds but he was still standing and breathing. She's never felt so confused in her whole life before. She simply meant to come and see him, but ended up in the same mess everyone else is in. Inuyasha still death gripping his sword was breathing heavily. Even though he tagged Naraku quite a few times and even managed to rough him up, that still didn't change his health, he was in bad condition.
Inuyasha's shirt was in shreds. Blood gashed from all parts of his chest and legs dying his fire rat fur uniform a darker red.
She wasn't sure how long this battle has been going on but from the looks of it they seemed to be nearly done. Looking around she saw that everyone has been fighting everyone had wounds from head to toe. The rather strong woman who owned the lioness had bruises on her face and was leaning on a boulder for support. She scanned her eyes to the next person. It was the monk man, holding his staff and was in a good fighter's stance considering his condition. Bruises, welt marks, and scratches covering every inch of his face and hands. Well that's what she came to expect from humans.
Then her that stupid human girl, that took her Koga, Kagome. Ayame's fist curled, she's always been polite to that human girl but couldn't help but feel fire whenever she saw that girl. Kagome was panting; it didn't take a demon nose to smell the sweat clinging to her either. Kagome was beyond tiered standing on a pair of wobbly legs. In her arms was the little kitsune cub shaking and whimpering. But where is he? Ayame scanned about the scene in search of her dear Koga but didn't spot him. 'I could have sworn I picked up his scent around here.' Ayame took a second inhale, yes his scent still lingered but was no where to be seen.
"This is it Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled as he held his sword up high preparing himself. "This will be your grave!" Ayame watched as the hanyou lunged forward throwing his sword to the right slashing a deep painful slash in Naraku's side. Naraku threw his head back in a deep raspy scream as he fell backwards.
Ayame's heart skipped a beat at the sight of a lump in Naraku's left side. Through Naraku's thin flesh she saw the shadowy outline of the lump. Long hair... skirt, armor... "KOGA!" Ayame screamed as Naraku hit the ground.
Ayame jumped forward reaching for her powerful leaves but stopped mid air flipping her back to where she was standing. Her instincts were screaming at her widely. 'Something's not right...'
In a matter of thirty seconds Naraku pushed what was left of his body up into a sitting position. Before Inuyasha or the others good react Naraku threw his large dragon like fist followed by several large tentacles in the air. With a loud growl he slammed his fist and tentacles to the ground. For a moment all anyone saw was his fist sinking into the ground then... a shake first it started off friendly, then it shook hard.
The whole plate everyone was standing on shook from side to side like mad. The trees towering above started to collapse. Ayame jumped out of the way as a huge oversized branch came crashing down. The river suddenly started to run faster than before as the wind picked up speed from all directions. Ayame squeaked a scream as dust, pebbles, and twigs, all were being thrown at her. Ayame jumped up high into the air but that was no use the flying particles only attacked her more up in the open space.
Kagura off in the distance wearing heavy chains around her neck and wrist for disobeying Naraku used her fan to create two monster twisters. One to the Far East and the other to the far west. Both coming in at incredible speed, the hungry winds knocked trees down one by one, they scooped the water out from the river bed and even scooted Ayame across the terrain without even picking her feet off the ground. Ayame couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't hear and the only thing she could smell was blood and dirt.
She heard the screams of the winds ring louder and they were coming closer, the tips of the tornadoes were partially embedded in the ground tearing up the lands as they came closer. Ayame opened her left eye just a slit to see were she was. It didn't surprise her to see that she wasn't standing where she once was. Ayame heard a tree crack and fall, it landed right beside her.
She opened her mouth to scream but quickly closed it when dirt flew in at her. She held her arms out in front of her face and dropped to her knees. Rocks and twigs alike stabbed at her delicate skin. Her hair flapped about so widely that they pulled out of there pig tails and flew around loosely. That only hurt worse, the tips of her hair snapped around whipping at her neck and shoulder. The tearing noise grew louder followed by the sound of lightening. Ayame flinched, 'a storm will only make this worse.'
Ayame tried to open her eyes a second time, this time she saw that she was leaning against a rock, the same one Sango was leaning on. Looking down she saw her knees scabbed and bloody from being slid across the rough ground. Dust and sometimes pieces of rocks was all Ayame saw. 'Koga still inside of that evil Naraku, I have to help him I have to!' A flash back of how Koga saved Ayame from the birds ran across her mind giving her confidence. 'He saved me once before, I owe him this.' Ayame forced herself on her feet but was shoved back to the rock in seconds.
Ayame growled baring her teeth against the dirt filled wind. The pressure pinned her to the rock but she wasn't going to give up. Ayame leaned into the wind forcefully. She kept her eyes closed as she took a step forward. The tornadoes must be getting closer. She took a second step forward and was thrown into the rock again. She cursed at her whimper from hitting the rock so hard. 'I have to try, I have to!' she told herself as she tried a third time. Another tree went down and lightening struck the ground heavily. Scaring Ayame out of her skin, the burning bolt struck the ground so heavily that it gave the ground another earth shake. Ayame fell back on her elbows. The wind pushed so hard that she was rolling on the ground away from the boulder. Once she was in the open the wind completely took over Ayame's body toying with her immensely.
She rolled on the ground and sometimes in the air. Her eyes were still shut, she knew she was rolling and she knew that she was going to die. Her head constantly banged to the ground, her legs rolled over thorn bushes and shard pointed rocks as the wind kicked at her gut. Ayame felt sick from being rolled, by reflex she slapped the ground with a clawed hand and held her grip on it. The winds continued to toss her up and down side to side but she still protested by holding onto the ground. She felt fresh blood seep from her sides and knees, her elbows, and lower lip.
A pair of strong warm hands gripped Ayame's side and yanked her to her feet. She knew that it was a male who had her. 'Could it be Koga?' she thought as she felt herself running along this stranger's side.
She wanted to open her eyes so badly but couldn't. She physically couldn't open her eyes anymore, the wind pushed on her face so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. That's when the wind screaming died down, the trees stopped falling and all was quite...
Ayame opened her eyes. Looking up she saw a dark gray, 'a cave ceiling?' she thought as she trailed her eyes from the ceiling down smooth gray walls. 'I'm in a cave.' Ayame couldn't turn her head, she had no strength. Her legs and arms felt heavy and soar. She whimpered a little before giving up on trying to move. Her whole body felt swollen and weak. It was obvious to her that she was drained. A massive headache took over her thoughts making her whimper louder. She couldn't think at the moment, the pain in her head made it to where she couldn't push herself from this laying position either. Ayame's eyes closed by themselves.
He's been staring at the wall for three hours now. His body wouldn't respond to his commands. He couldn't move his side hurt the most. When they fell he probably landed on his side. He wasn't sure where she was but he knew she was in here. "Probably dead" he whispered pitifully. He exhaled through his nose allowing his eyes to close. He was far to tiered to think right now.
"But what about the mountain it's been our home for many, many years. Are you sure you want to leave so suddenly?" Ikkakujyuu asked stubbornly and hoping. The old one let out a long deep sigh. "There are more of them this time. Just please try to understand that it's for our own good Ikkakujyuu." Ikkakujyuu bowed her head respectfully "I understand it's just, I'm not sure how Ayame's going to take this." Ikkakujyuu turned her head slightly so she could catch a glimpse of her daughter sleeping all curled up in her nest.
The elder leader also scanned over the little princess's body before speaking. "There leader is Koga, he is coming tomorrow for a talk before he allows us to stay with him in the valley." Ikkakujyuu nodded again. Still feeling unsure about joining another pack. And to make it worse a valley pack. "Don't trouble yourself to much Ikkakujyuu. Koga and his pack live on a rocky ridge it'll it least give you the same comfort of our mountain." Ikkakujyuu curled her fist 'those damn birds.'
Ayame stretched opening her mouth wide breaking out into a deep yawn. She looked down at her mother nestled close to the cave wall. "Bye mommy" she whispered before skipping playfully out the entrance of the cave with an ear to ear smile. Baring her cute little fangs gleefully as she rushed out and down the path. The wind on the mountains side made a comforting hum to Ayame's ears. She smiled oh how she loved the mountain and its gentle breeze. Ayame's daily play usually started by the bend. Normally she played by herself but sometimes couldn't help but play with the other cubs. She always woke the earliest so sitting by the bend kept her entertained until they woke. She stared at her reflection. Red hair, green eyes, and creamy skin. She was always beautiful but sometimes she wished for darker hair like her mother. "Ayame!" a small voice called from off in the distance. Ayame turned to see one of her little friends Ping run up to her. "Good morning ping wanna play?" She kneeled down in a fighter's stance ready to pounce but was cut off by Ping's announcement. "My mommy says no playing today she wants me to greet our brothers of the west." Ayame cocked her head to the side "huh?"
"You didn't hear? Our brothers are coming to help us move." Ayame nearly fell back "Move?! MOVE WHERE?!" Ping frowned "You know the valley..."
"What!" Ayame felt sick to her stomach. "We can't move we can't!" ping took a step forward. "Calm down Ayame it'll be alright." Ayame held a fist up "I'm not moving! Never ever! I'm running away! Mommy can't leave if I'm gone!" Pings eyes widened. "Ayame wait!" It was too late Ayame turned around eyes filled with tears. Her mother had already talked to her about this and promised that she didn't have to leave the mountain. This is the only home she's ever been in.
"There here" one of the females gasped. The elder and Ikkakujyuu walked up to the entrance of the cave. Looking down they spotted Koga the wolf leader to the second clan and two others following him. "Remember to pay respect Ikkakujyuu." The elder reminded as the three wolves neared. Ikkakujyuu nodded stubbornly. "Welcome brothers" the elder said politely while moving aside so the three could enter. Koga bowed politely followed by the bows of his two men. "These are my first hand hunters Ginta and Hakkaku."
Koga's wolves sat beside Koga as Koga introduced them as well. Ping ran hard pumping his arms widely running up the path. He gave up chasing Ayame she was far to fast. "Ikkakujyuu sama!" He yelled as he burst through the cave entrance. Ikkakujyuu stood "What's wrong ping? What are you doing out of the den?"
"Ayame ran away a... a... away from our territory!" Ikkakujyuu's eyes widened, her heart skipped a beat. "W... What?!" The elder broke the long two hour conversation with Koga and stood. "Send out the hunters bring her back!" He demanded and watched as the wolves ran out.
Ayame wiped tears that smothered her eyes from her face. "Mommy's such a... a... BAKA! She told me we didn't have to move. She promised!" Ayame stopped jogging to catch her breath. She leaned down placing her hands on her knees. "Baka, Baka, BAKA!"
Ayame turned around at the sound of a loud tearing. The tree branches cracked and broke from the oaks crashing down to the ground. She jumped at the sight of a huge massive bird demon fly from the tree tops. On top of it was a blue bodied man, with a sharp beak for a mouth. One look at those teeth and Ayame ran. She wasn't stupid she knew that, that bird thing was the reason her family would be leaving. She's never seen one before, but she's seen the strong men that came back injured from them. "M... m... mommy!" She cried as she ran freely allowing her legs to take her to safety. The bird flew just above her casting its dark shadow on her. Ayame closed her eyes tight and screamed loud. She should have had the watcher wolves follow her to her play like she use to have. But now this?! She kept running dodging bushes and trees not daring to trip or slow her run. New fresh tears poured from her eyes.
'Someone save me please!' Ayame saw a small crack in between two boulders. 'I can fit! I have to fit!' Ayame dived inside right as the bird swept down at her. Ayame's heart raced as tears poured from her eyes. 'Mommy, mommy, mommy!'
Hours past and there was still no sign of her. Ikkakujyuu grew unbelievably tense. "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have let her play, I should have told her that night!" The elder walked up beside Ikkakujyuu. "Don't blame yourself Ikkakujyuu she'll be alright I'm sure." The elder lied and Ikkakujyuu knew it. Everyone knows that past the border are the nesting grounds of those winged things. No body in there right mind would dare cross the boarder so easily. That is all except a loving mother. Four more hours past and the searching party nearly gave up, everyone grew exhausted of there search. Ayame's scent was all over the place.
The wolves took there place back inside the cave. Now was the hour where the birds come out on there side of the boarder. Ikkakujyuu stayed near the entrance watching and hoping. "Ayame" she whispered as she looked over the tree tops. Koga placed his hand on Ikkakujyuu's shoulder making her jump. "Don't worry I'll find her." Ikkakujyuu's eyes widened. "You mean... on the other side?" Koga gave her a nod. "I won't return without your daughter I promise. Ikkakujyuu was speechless as she watched the handsome prince run down the cave path and into the trees with incredible energy. "Thanks" Ikkakujyuu whispered. The elder walked over to Ikkakujyuu's side. "Fear not, Ayame still carries the flower her father gave her. She'll be alright."
Ayame opened her eyes again. She stared at the ceiling feeling light headed and numb. 'It was a dream?' she pushed herself up on her bottom. And looked around dizzily. It was dark very dark, but it wasn't completely quite, a soft snore brought Ayame to her senses. She crawled wearily over to the source of the sound. 'I'm not alone' she thought as she squinted through the dark. Her spirit both dropped and rang when she saw who it was. 'No it wasn't her beloved Koga but a different man.
The monk...
Note: Thanks for reading; I'm doing two stories at once right now. I know, I know that like REALLY stupid but oh well, I had this awesome idea and sadly poor Ayame is only paired with Koga in all the fics I've read so... time for something different. smile
I'm doing a Miroku/Ayame paring because it's an ODD paring so it'll be both challenging and interesting at the same time. Let's see if I can pull it off thanks for reading!
