Ayame ran and ran deep into the forest. " I can't believe I started crying right in front of all of them!" Ayame berated herself. "I have to be stronger then that, for Rose and mom." Ayame stopped running and looked around. She was standing in a small clearing, with plenty of dry wood. "Well at least I can pretend like that never happened" She muttered and bending over began to collect wood to bring back. Ayame sighed. Why can't life be any easier? She thought to herself. Why must I cause so much trouble for everyone? Turning around Ayame began to head back to the camp where her sister waited.

Five minutes later she was back and everyone's eyes were on her. Ayame continued walking then setting down her firewood, Ayame turned to Rose. "So what are we gonna do? Are they going to help us Rose?" She asked. Rose smiled brightly. "Koga's invited us to go to their cave with them, where we can recuperate, and learn what we can from others on this Naraku." "Naraku?" Ayame asked confused. " Apparently some other wolf demons came down to get help to kill Naraku. Koga says that our description matches theirs. "Naraku, huh? Sounds simple enough, cant wait to kill him. Fine then lets go see this cave of yours." Ayame replied. All the Wolf demons stood then and began to walk upstream

Ayame and Rose walked near the front following one of the demons called Ginta. Rose kept laughing at his stories of old battles. While Ayame just walked next to her musing over all that they had learned. Koga seemed in just as deep thought as he walked behind them, with his eyes on Ayame the whole time.

When they finally reached the Wolves den it was nearly morning. During the night Rose and Ayame had dawned cloaks with hoods and they still wore them upon entering. Koga ran off to take care of something near the back of the cave. But everytime the girls asked what it was the demon would abruptly change the subject to something else. It was really beginning to tick Ayame off finally she ran out for some air and alone time.

In the cave Rose was happily chatting away with all the Wolf demons that were trying to flirt with her (trying meaning she had no idea they were! Aw ignorance is bliss lol) When suddenly Koga walked up holding onto a mortal girl. Some wolves began asking what he was doing when suddenly he turned into a fox! Rose couldn't believe she ran with the others trying to figure out what was happening, when she realized she knew the girl. It was Kagome! She stopped suddenly and turned to find Ayame.

Running everywhere around the cave, Rose desperately tried to find her sister, but Ayame was no where in sight. Deciding to look around outside Rose left right before Koga and Kagome and the others got back.

Ayame was pissed off. They were all hiding something from her and her sister. "Fine!" She muttered. "If you don't trust us enough to tell us whats going on. We don't need your help. I know who I'm after and where to look." "Ayame turned to find a panting Rose leaning on a tree behind her. "Ayame… the thing…that they were hiding….is a girl who looks EXACTLY LIKE KAGOME!" Rose said gasping. Ayame's mouth dropped. "What are you talking about Rose? I think you've been away from luxury for to long!" Rose tried to stand up straight. But still being tired she layed back onto the tree. "Ayame Im not kidding the girl looks EXACTLY like her. You need to see it, they should be in the caves again. Oh yeah did I forget that part? Apparently she tried to escape and they all chased after her!

Ayame laughed. " No we will stay out here for a couple days. Let them regret hiding stuff from me!"

A/n ok for yall who don't get that part, Since Ayame is staying away she is totally going to miss Koga's whole confessional scene and Kagome for that matter. So back to the story!

Ayame and Rose approached the cave. Rose tittering due to the fact she was nervous about just leaving them like that. As they walked in they were met with mournful faces from demons and wolves alike.Ginta stood and walked toward them. "Ayame… Kogas not here, he left about an hour ago."

Rose looked at Ayame nervously. "Where'd he go?" Ayame asked stepping forward. "A lot of stuff happened while you were away Ayame. Its basically like this some brethren from the North came down to seek Koga's help to charge a castle. When he refused some of our brothers got angry and left to seek the fortune of the castle with the northern tribe. And Koga let them. Then an hour ago one of them returned with a jewel shard saying Koga had to come and help. All of our wolves and friends were being slaughtered at the castle. So Koga took the Jewel shard and ran off leaving us here."

The wolves all stared at Ayame as she stared at Ginta. The wind blew around outside lifting Ayame's hair.( Not in pigtails! She only did that when she fought!) Ayame turned and Grabbed Rose's backpack. Lifting out her hooded cloak. Then Running Ayame threw the cloak on hood and all and flew off after Koga's scent into the Night.

A/n I love the black cloak I have one its so pretty pretty! Ok I know its been awhile but they like changed the whole face of the Doc manager etc etc stuff so I HAD NO FREAKIN IDEA HOW TO SUBMIT A CHAPPY! U kno the usual lol
