Chapter One:

Last One Standing

Kouga sat by the fire in his new cave and listened to the sounds coming from around him. Ginta lay snoring ten feet away behind him, Harrukka whimpered beside him in his sleep and a female wolf demon sceaming could be heard about five miles away. Wait a female wolf demon screaming? He had to check this out.

He got up and took of towards the sound at full speed. He reached a clearing where he last heard the scream and was over powered by the scent of blood. /Wait i reconize that scent, it's.....it's/ another scream pierced the air /Ayame/ That red-headed wolf demon had aknack for getting into tight spaced,but what was she doing down here so far from the mountains? He raced off after her scent which was very fresh. He found her trapped in a canyon with two very hungry angry snake demons coming at her. By the gashes all over her body and the few claw marks on the snakes he could already tell the outcome of this battle. He was tempted to leave her just to teach her a lesson but she migth not come out of it alive. So he swept down the canyon rim and dropped in front of her.

"Kouga? What are you doing here? Hey I can fight my own battles, I don't need help from human lovers like you!" she asked and exclaimed all in one breathe.

"Not what it looks like to me miss scream queen" he retorted.

"Look another tasty dog to eat, now we don't have to share" one of the large snake demons hissed, as they both slowly advanced. Kouga knew with out the shards he would never be able to defeat them both and even with Ayame's help he wasn't sure the could do it. He looked back at Ayame and saw her slumped against the canyon wall, hanging on to and outcropping of rocks. Several of her wounds oozed green poison and Kouga knew she'd be of no use. She could barely stand, let alone fight. So he picked her up and made her wrap her legs around his waist and her arms around his shoulders and took off towards the top of the canyon. He blazed up the side and over and off towards the forest, but he wasn't doing it full spped because of fear for his passenger.He heard the snake demons following close behind.

/Where do I take her. I can't go back to the cave those demons would just find us. Hmmmmm. Where??/ then it hit him /Inu Yasha/ they had parted on civil terms adnKagome always told him if he had any problems to come to them and they'd help. Not that he liked relying on dog-boy but he had no choice. Ayame was hurt bad and he needed to get rid of the snake boys back there. So he took off for Inu Yasha's forest.

He reached it a little after night fall and was close to collasping from exhaustion, but he pushed on til he reached Inu Yasha's hut. He layed the injured girl down and banged on the door. He heard a curse and a low voice calming another down. Ayame whimpered and whispered

"Kouga? Kouga where are we?"

"Shhh, bitch, rest. Lemme take care of it ok?"

she nodded her head and slipped back into the land of the dark and dreamy. Inu Yasha opened the door and yelled

"This better be good or I'll rip your innards ou.....Kouga?!" He stopped and stared at the male wolf on his front porch. Then at the injured one lying beside him unconcious.

"Who is it Inu-Chan" a soft sleepy voice murmered.

"Kouga" he replied still a little stunned.

"Kouga? Well let him in." He hefted up his precious bundle and pushed past the imobile dog man. Inu Yasha shook it off and closed the door behind him. Kouga layed Ayame on Kagome's couch futon and Kagome gasped at the sight of one of her old friends. After She had chosen Inu Yasha she had grown close to the spurned girl. Kouga still denied remembering the promise. They heard a crash and a hissing sound from outside.

"I sorta brought some friends" Kouga said already on his way out the door.

"I'll take care of Ayame you go help him" she told Inu Yasha. He nodded and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. He took off after the wolf leader and jumped into battle already pulling out Tetsiaga.

In the Hut

Kagome rubbed a salve onto the girls numerous cuts to take care of the poison and then she wrapped them. Ayame resumed consiousness about five minutes later and leaped into kagomes arms and sobbed her heart out. It took Kagome a long time to get the story out of the girl and when she did she hauled her in closer and held her tight.

The guys came in a while later, after defeating the snakes and grabbing something to eat. They found the two girls holding eachother, both had tears streaming down their cheeks. Kagome oped her eyes and nodded at Kouga. He walked over and picked up Ayame and cradled her against his chest. She just buried deeper and clung to him. Kagome walked over to Inu Yasha and flung her self into his arms. She started to whisper in his ear so quietly Kouga couldn't hear them, but he saw the play of intense emotions flicker over Inu Yasha's face. It finally settle on sadness as he gazed mournfully at the girl in his arms. /What is going on here? Why is everyone so sad. We won?/ He wondered. He shifted Ayame til he could see her face.

"Oi, bitch, whats wrong?" he asked.

"Their dead, all dead, everyone dead, couldn't stop them, all dead." she mumbled incoherently. He looked at the other two in confusion

"Her village was slaughtered, she only just made it out, it was those snake demons plus a couple others." Kagome replied looking at the floor. "She's the only female left of your wolf tribe Kouga"
