Chapter 12 - Trip with Ayame
Kagome jumped out of the tree and went for a walk in the woods. 'Why can't he just let me do as I please! He had no right or reason to jump on Kouga like that!' Kagome's face got redder as she thought about it. 'He didn't even let me stand up for myself!' Kagome kicked a tree, "OWW! Ohh! He makes me soo mad!" She hobbled off into the forest cursing the arrogant man she loved as she went. "I'm gonna sit him so many times it'll make his ancestors dizzy! Then he'll learn to but into one of my conversations and make me look so stupid I can't talk!" She jumped in the water to take a bath then she remembered what Ayame said before she left. "If that guy gives you any problems, you just come get me and we'll go on a little trip just you and me! Kouga makes me mad too so we can get out our anger,K?!" Kagome nodded, "That's just what I'll do! Get ready Ayame here I come!" Kagome ran off back to the wolf demon tribe, ignoring Inuyasha's scent that tickled her nose.
Inuyasha sat up, "Ow, my head!" He rubbed his sore head and got up. He snapped back to his senses when he realized why he was out here, "Kagome, where is she?!" He looked around like a madman then sniffed the air, "Damn she's still hiding her scent!" He set off to search the many places she might go. (Two hours later) Inuyasha sat down on the river bank panting, "Where is the wench?" He put his head down towards the water and then his eyes grew wide and he sniffed the air. "Her scent! She let her guard down here! Now I can trace her!" He crawled off in the general direction of Kagome's scent then he sat up growling, "She went back to that mangy wolf!" He jumpoed up and ran towards the tribe they had just left.
"Ayame! Hey Ayame! Hi its Kagome from yesterday remember?" Kagome ran up to the spunky red head. "Of course I remember! How could I forget my first non wolf demon friend!?" Ayame gave Kagome a quick hug. "So why are you here?" Ayame asked, after all she had just been here yesterday. "Oh well I decided to take you up on your offer! Wanna go on a little girls only trip?" Kagome said matter-of-factly. Ayame ran in her hut grabbed hr stuff and they set off.
Inuyasha stormed into Kouga's hut 5 minutes after the girls left."Where's Kagome!" Kouga cracked open his eye, looked at Inuyasha, and closed it back,"She went on a trip with Ayame, they don't want to be followed cuz they say they need a break." Kouga went back to sleep. "Feh! Some boyfriend you are! Two girls just went off on their own with no protection and one of them can't fight when she's scared!" Inuyasha screamed. Kouga opened both eyes, "Inuyasha you're getting on my nerves they may be hanyous but they'll be fine!" Kouga snapped, he tried once again to go to sleep when Inuyasha muttered something, "Yeah I'm sure two hanyou girls will be just fine on their own when tomorow is the night of the new moon!" Kouga jumped up and ran out of the hut. "Everyone round up a search party, we're going on a hunt for Ayame and Kagome!" Kouga and three of his closest friends went off into the woods and Inuyasha followed them, 'Nice going Kagome! Even when you're a hanyou I still have to babysit you and you're stronger than me!' Inuyasha thought to himsel he started to run faster, he didn't really mind having to be the hero actually. He smirked and zoomed right past Kagome and Ayame's little camp by the river.
"Ayame they just passed us for the fourth time!" Kagome whispered giggling. "You're scent hiding skills must be really good!" Ayame blushed and sighed, "You could say that but you're the fastest out of us two!" Kagome blushed this time. They both giggled and cooked the fish they caught during their little conversation. "Ayame, does Kouga ever um well yell at you or anything or try to boss you around?" Ayame looked at the sky then swallowed, "Well he does call me his woman all the time and buts into my conversations! But he never bosses me around because he knows I'll up and leave!" Ayame took another big bite and ate the rest of her fish then she threw the stick on the ground and laid down on the grass. "Ahhhh, what a great meal!" Kagome quickly finished her fish and laid next to Ayame, "That was the best fish I ever tasted!" Ayame gigled, "Then you haven't tasted a feast at the wolf demon tribe celebrations!" She started goingon and on about the certain celebrations in her tribe. When she was done Kagome was drooling,"WOW! That sounds soooo good!" She yawned and said god night to Ayame, then jumped in a tree and went to sleep dreaming about all the food she been told about.
The next morning Kagome woke up to find Ayame poking a fire to cook the breakfast, "BOO!" she jumped down from the tree and landed on Ayame's back they fell down giggling like mad people and then settled down to eat and talk. "Ss besides Kouga's total arrogance, do you like living with him and being his mate?" Ayame swallowed nodding, "Well yeah but sometimes the arrogance drives my off on trips like this only I've never had a friend to share it with.Thanks for being my friend Kagome!" Kagoe shooke her head ,"No problem! I love having you for a friend Ayame!" They gave each other a hug and packed up to look for a new campsite. "How about here Ayame? Its a clearing with a small pool and its surrounded by trees! It looks good!" Ayame nodded and set up the camp in a flash. "Oh I just remembered! Ayame these are called hammocks! They're something from my village! You hang them between two trees and sleep on it!" She hung one up and laid in it then she showed Ayame how to put one up and stay balanced in it enough to sleep in it. "Wow this is really cool Kagome! Where is your village again?" Kagome choked "Um, its um well I'll show you before we go back to your village, how's that sound?" Ayame nodded and grinned. Then they got quiet, someone was coming towards thm but they couldn't smell them. Ayame screamed as the thing jumped out of the bushes, "AHHHHH!" the girls screamed together only to realize it was a little bunny. They laughed and let the bunny go. Then Ayame went to the little pool to catch fish and Kagome climbed a tree to look and see what was going on in the forest. "I wonder why Inuyasha hasn't found me yet? This is great no cocky Inuyasha nagging at me!" She stretched and fell out of the tree "AHHHHHH!" SPLASH! "KAGOME! You just scared away my fish! Now I'm all wet!" Ayame was angry but she couldn't help but laugh her head off, Kagome had fallen into the little pool and now she had a fish in her mouth with its tail flapping like mad! Kagome went cross eyed to look at her mouth and Ayame laughed even harder, Kagome spit out the fish and started laughing too then they cooked Kagome's fish and took an after meal nap.
