"Of course I have feelings but not for her, I can't let her die because she gave me and my brother food." Bankotsu said as he slices of the tentacle, which was holding Ayame.
"Ahhh!" yelled the demon in pain.
Bankotsu caught Ayame before she hit the ground and placed her beside Jakotsu. He then uses Banyuu to attack the demon, which of course dies in the end.
"Nine-hundred and ninety-two." Bankotsu said.
He then turns to see Ayame lying there with thick crimson blood flowing out of her wound. He places Banyuu down then carried Ayame into the lake to let the water wash her wound. But as soon as the water came in touch with Ayame's wound, her eyes opened abruptly because of the pain.
"Where am I? Where is the dem-?" asked Ayame but stopped as soon as she saw Bankotsu's jet black eyes staring into hers.
Ayame winced in pain again as her wound was in the water. She grabbed hold of Bankotsu's arm tightly and bit on her lips painfully… The undead zombie looked at the injured youkai again… the same one whose heart was broken… the same one who gave his brother and him food… Bankotsu then carried Ayame out of the water and laid her on the grass near Jakotsu.
"O-annekin Bankotsu, why are you helping this wretch?" asked Jakotsu sitting up.
"She gave us food to pass the night remember?" replied Bankotsu calmly.
Ayame stared at the two brothers talking then suddenly, thought about her wolves. She pushed herself up using her elbow to probe her body up, but she soon regretted doing so. A jolt of pain transmitted to her brain and she felled back down.
"Watch out!" Bankotsu said as he slowly help her to sit up.
"My wolves! Where are they?" asked the flustered wolf demon looking around and sniffing at the same time.
"Their dead little missy…" Jakotsu said pointing towards the bodies piled at one corner.
Ayame was too shocked to say anything. Tears swelled up in her eyes… her family gone in a flash… Tears filled with sorrow and pain rolled down her face.
"Yuki… Yugi… Takai… Taichi… Akagi… My family… my only support… I could have saved them! I could!" shouted the hurt hanyou as she forced herself to stand up and run over to the bodies of the dead white wolves.
Bankotsu, quick as lightning, dashed towards Ayame and pulled her back. She was about three or four foots away from the bodies before Bankotsu caught her.
"Yuki! Yugi! Takai! Taichi! Akagi! No! No!" yelled the crying wolf demon.
"Ayame! Ayame calm down!" said Bankotsu as he pulled her away from the bodies.
Ayame had no strength to fight anymore she just allowed darkness to take over her…
"Hey wolf girl! Wolf girl! Wake up…" that was all Ayame heard before she entered the world of darkness…
"Now what o-annekin?" asked Jakotsu looking at Ayame's sleeping form.
"We wait till dawn, if she does not awake, we will leave her at Inuyasha's. Now get some rest… it should be a few more hours till the sun rises." Bankotsu said as he lay down and looked into the starry night.
Soon enough, it was dawn. Bankotsu opened up his eyes and looked at Jakotsu, he was still sleeping soundly whereas, Ayame was not there. He quickly stood up and looked around, and soon he noticed that the wolves' bodies were gone!
"Jakotsu! Wake up! The wolf girl is gone!" Bankotsu said as he tried to wake Jakotsu up.
"Yawn she was up much earlier, she went and washed up then went and carried the bodies of the wolves' over where the demon came from…" said Jakotsu then he zonked out again.
Bankotsu picked up Banyuu and made his way to the place the demon first appeared. Over there, sure enough was Ayame, she was trying to dig graves for the wolves but since she was hurt, she had to stop now and then to make sure she was not bleeding. Bankotsu than started to use Banyuu as a shovel and help to dig the graves. Ayame was a little surprise as Bankotsu, a Shinshitai, known as the most cold-blooded humans, would actually help a wolf like her.
"Have you stared enough?" asked Bankotsu staring at her emerald green orbs, which were her eyes with his own jet black eyes.
"Oh… gomen…" answered Ayame as she return her gaze at her former allies.
A lone tear rolled down her cheek.
"Arigato for saving me from that demon last night…" Ayame said as she placed one of the wolves' body into one of the five holes, which were freshly dug.
"Forget it." Came the reply.
"Taichi, Akagi, Yuki, Yugi, Takai, I hope you guys will meet the rest of the family up there… I love you guys…" murmured Ayame as he covered up the wolves bodies one by one.
Ayame then placed a stone in front of each grave and placed wild flowers she had picked on the graves. Bankotsu stood at the back watching her all the while…
"She must really loved those wolves…" thought Bankotsu.
Ayame gave a bow then walked towards Bankotsu.
"Thank you again for helping…" Ayame said.
Bankotsu gave a small smile then walked behind her all the way back to camp. Jakotsu had already awoke.
"Ohaiyo o-annekin Bankotsu!" said the brother of Bankotsu happily as he stretched his body.
Bankotsu gave a nod.
"When are we going back to see Inuyasha?" asked Jakotsu.
"Now." Came the reply.
Jakotsu jumped in happiness. They packed up their stuff and started to walk towards Inuyasha's campsite.
"You coming? I don't like helping people without them helping me later…" said Bankotsu.
"There's nothing else for me to do anyways… why not?" Ayame said.
With that, the trio walked towards Inuyasha's camp.
"Kouga's smell still lingers here… he must be there still." Ayame thought.
And right was she, Kouga was still there trying to make up with Kagome.
"Get lost stupid mutt! Stay away from my girl!" warned Kouga.
"Your girl! You mean my Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha back.
"My Kagome?" Kagome said as her face redden.
As soon as Inuyasha realised he had said that out, he turned and jumped off into a tree. Kouga just growled.
"Wait! The zombie is here!" yelled Miroku as he spotted Jakotsu spying on Inuyasha fighting Kouga.
"Inuyasha!" shouted Jakotsu again with sparkles in his eyes…
"Jakotsu and Bankotsu!" shouted Sango……
