Chapter 11

The Lunar Rainbow

As he headed in the direction of the wolf dens he contemplated his plan. He walked the entire night, making sure that Banryou was on the opposite side of the woman, not that she could lift it, but it was better to be safe than sorry. When dawn started to make itself known he noticed some movement from the woman. He felt her stiffen and knew she must have figured it out. He knew what was coming.

'three, two, one…'

Then, as if on cue, she began to stuggle.

"Quit moving around woman, or I'll kill you now, and that would totally screw my plan into the ground, so cut it out wench."

She stiffened again. He could feel her eyes looking at him.

"What plan?"

" Think of it as a farewell present to Koga."

"Then you'll be the death of me"

She began to struggle again.

'Damn she must really love him'

"You must really love him. Well you don't leave me any choice"

He swiftly knocked her out with his foot. A trickle of blood escaped from her mouth as she fell limp once more.

Even he, a human, could tell when he was approaching the wolf den's. There was an oddly depressed aura about. He smirked to himself.

'perfect'

As he approached the cave entrance he could tell he wasn't welcome, as he had expected. All the wolves tensed and one stepped forward preparing to attack. He looked at him and smirked.

"I wouldn't"

They had noticed that he was carrying something but no one had seen what it was. It had a blanket over it he pulled it away to reveal Ayame.

"Now, if you don't want me to kill her, take me to Koga."

The one that was going to attack him stepped back and a woman stepped forward. She didn't look him in the eye.

"Come with me"

They all parted and growled at him, some of the women were glaring at him, and a group of girls who looked a little younger than her were actually crying.

The woman led him to the back of the cave where Koga sat, his hair concealing his face in a low ponytail. He had been thinking.

"milord."

He looked up at Katane, behind her stood someone he couldn't make out.

"Bankotsu is here to see you"

"What"

He growled as he rose in one stiff movement. Bankotsu stepped forward, a smirk set in his face.

"Whats the smirk for bastard?"

Bankotsu just cocked his head and dropped something on the floor, placing his foot over it. Koga glanced down.

'Ayame!'

Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
tears form behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by

Her hair was stringy with what looked like sweat and blood. She was breathing slowly. He clenched his fists at his sides.

"What do you want."

"You know I'm not sure, exactly."

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say

He began to push his foot down on her stomach. She grunted and her eyes fluttered open, a pained expression immediately overcoming her features.

"No…"

She impulsivly reached to her hair to grab her Iris, only to find it missing. Her hand fell limp against her stomach.

"You won't find it there dear, it seems Koga has it."

Indeed stuffed in his leg fur wrap was Ayame's Iris. Slightly crumpled but there all the same.

"Koga?"

She winced.

"What? No get away, someone kill him. Forget me, destroy him."

"You heard the girl, attack me"

"You bastard."

"Your one to talk, playing with this poor girl's emotions."

He kicked her to the side where the girls that had been crying before huddled around her. The wolves moved to attack but Koga put up a hand.

"He's mine."

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

He immediately pulled out Banryou and sent a wave of energy at him, which was easily avoided. Koga pulled out his Katana and threw it to the ground behind him.

"Your death won't satisfy me unless I destroy you with my bare hands."

And so Koga lunged at him.

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right

Bankotsu laughed as he dodged him.

"You and Inuyasha, your both fools, blinded by affection."

Koga glared at him.

"Don't EVER compare me to that mutt."

"OOOOh have I touched a nerve?"

"Shut up already"

Koga lunged at him again, this time Bankotsu put out an arm, and knocked him back on the floor.

"I'm sick of toying around, I'm here for revenge, now, this ends."

Just before Bankotsu attacked someone stopped him.

"Bankotsu"

It was coming from behind him.

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

Ayame was standing there, obviously weak but still there she pulled all of her energy together and lunged at him grabbing Koga's Katana . She stopped all of a sudden and threw it at an immense speed. Before he could defend himself it had pierced his chest.

"Don't touch him"

As she crumpled to the floor the last of her energy escaping, every one of them attacked him.

Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine

I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Bankotsu couldn't stop them and his banryou had been kicked to the side, all he could do was lay there, and accept death. He died with a smirk on his face, the way he wanted to.

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

As every one sourounded bankotsu Koga got up from the ground, his eyes immediately caught Ayame, she was sitting on the floor her head lowered, he immediately rushed over to her and sat down.

" Did you need some fresh air? No running away this time, O.K."

Ever so slightly she nodded, he helped her up, she kept her head bowed, and helped her outside. He took her to the place where she had been that night she had fallen into depression. He looked up towards the moon,

It had been the lunar rainbow for a few days now, he was wondering if she had noticed, apparently not. She began to shiver and he very slowly wrapped his arms around her, holding her close while she sat there staring into her lap.

"Ayame"

He grabbed her hand and when he let go she looked to her hand. There sat her Iris. For the first time she smiled.

"Thank you"

When the stars fall and I lie awake
Your my shooting star
