A/N how was chapter 10? Hope you guys liked it… I dun own anyone from Inuyasha… pls R&R thanks…

Recap: Temasu brought Ayame through a few tunnels, which were heavily guarded and finally after five minutes, they saw a huge castle come into sight…

"Wow, this castle is huge…" Ayame exclaimed.

Temasu smiled then continued on. The guards bowed then moved aside allowing Temasu to enter.

"Good morning Prince Temasu…" came the guards as they went on their knees.

"You may rise." Temasu said as he led Ayame in to the castle.

Walking through the big double doors, inside, was a whole town… Demons, both young and old were seen moving about. This was just like a normal human village but instead it was populated with demons. Walking through the crowd, Ayame could hear demons talking about her…

"Don't mind them, just keep walking. It'll be fine." Temasu said.

Just then, Ayame smelled a very familiar smell of someone she used to know.

"Ayame!" came a voice through the crowd.

Ayame turned and saw someone from her childhood.

"Rasma! It that really you?" Ayame asked happily.

"Omigosh, Ayame, the little wolf demon, the one who loved picking flowers when you were young?" Rasma, dressed in a black suit with a shinning sword by his side and body armor asked.

"Rasma the demon boy who loved painting!" Ayame exclaimed.

"Oh kami, I didn't think I would ever see you again after all these years!" Rasma exclaimed rushing towards Ayame.

Temasu stood there watching them and laughing a bit as both Ayame and Rasma were acting like little kiddies again. Ayame rushed and hugged him.

"How have you been Rasma?" Ayame asked as they pulled away.

"Good. And you? How's your grandfather?" Rasma asked.

"He weaker then last time, other then that, he stills the same." Ayame answered.

"And?" Rasma said.

"And what?" Ayame asked.

"Any mate yeah?" Rasma asked.

"Hey, that's personal…" Ayame said blushing a little, but her face slowly looked a little sad remembering that Bankotsu hated her.

"Ok forget about me… what about you?" Ayame asked.

"You remember that girl called Lirin, last time the female fox demon who wanted to be a doctor, well, I married her…" Rasma said shyly as a blush slowly crept onto his face.

"Ayame!" came another voice.

Ayame turned around and saw Rasma's wife, Lirin.

"Lirin!" Ayame ran up to her and hugged her.

The two of them hugged then came a part.

"Rasma, the kids want to play with you…" Lirin said as she kissed her husband on the cheek.

"Ok, see you later, you too Ayame!" Rasma said before running off in to a hut.

"Oh yeah, good morning Prince Temasu, his majesty wants to see you, he is waiting at the dinning room." Lirin said.

"Ok thank you Lirin, did you see my brother?" Temasu asked.

"Yes sir, he is talking to his majesty in the dinning room." Lirin answered.

"Thank you. I'll take my leave now, and Lirin, can you be a dear and show Ms Ayame around, thank you." Temasu said.

"No problem your highness, it would be my pleasure to show Ms Ayame around the town…" Lirin answered.

"And Lirin, show Ms Ayame one of the guest room's in the castle, she will be staying in the castle for tonight…" Temasu said.

"Yes your highness…" came Lirin's reply as she bowed down.

"What's up with you saying sir and bowing to him all the time? I know he is the prince but what is he related to you?" Ayame asked.

"I'm one of the palace maids silly, so I have to listen to prince Temasu." Lirin answered.

"Ok then. Why was Rasma dressed like a prince?" Ayame asked.

"He is the head of the royal guards here… he's in charge with all the guards at every gates and every door way leading to both the castle and the stronghold…" Lirin explained.

"Really? Wow, you guys must be living in peace now then…" Ayame exclaimed.

"It's not that easy being the head here, if any spy of the enemy slips in, it's off with his head…" Lirin said sadly.

"What? That's totally not fair to Rasma!" Ayame exclaimed.

"I know, but it's his job…come on, while I bring you to your room, tell me about yourself these days…" Lirin asked.

"Well, you remember Kouga? Well remember he said he would marry me when I grown up right…" Ayame said.

"Don't tell me, he married you!" Lirin said excitedly.

"Nope, you're wrong, he broke his promise and fell for a human girl… I thought I will die because of a broken heart but then I met the most wonderful guy of my life! But because, he accidentally made me blind for a few hours only and now he blames himself… So we separated… He and his brother went one way, I went the other…" Ayame said as she fell a tear roll down her face.

"Are you ok Ayame? That damn Kouga! Why did he fall for a human? He's a demon too right? Then why?" Lirin asked.

"I guess love really has no boundaries… Kouga likes a human and I like a zombie…" Ayame said.

"What? You like a zombie? Why? The only zombies I know and who are walking alive right now is the Shinshit—No you wouldn't!" Lirin said.

"Well, I did… I fell in love with Bankotsu Shinshitai…" Ayame told Lirin.

"No… but he is dead…" Lirin said as they climbed up the stairs leading to the stronghold.

"I know, but if I can put the Shinkon no tama together, I'll be able to make a wish… I can wish for everyone that damn Naraku harmed to be well and alive…" Ayame said.

"What? You know where the Shinkon no tama is?" Lirin asked.

"Yeah, I never told anyone this but I have three pieces of the jewel…" Ayame said.

"What? Then you have to come with me…" Lirin said as she pulled Ayame faster up towards the stronghold and in to the dinning room.

"Your majesty! Your highness! Ms Ayame here knows something about the Shinkon no tama!" Lirin said as she burst through the doors leading to the dinning room…

"Ayame! Run!" yelled Rasma as he fought off the demons.

Lirin came running out of the stronghold with a few thousand soldiers behind her. They all rushed to the main gate of the castle and fought off the demons trying to enter…

"Ayame, run! You have to the demons are after you! We'll deal with the demons here… get to a safe place… you have to, for your wish to be with Bankotsu, you have to keep those jewels safe!" Temasu yelled as he fends off the demons with all his might.

"Guys! Please, let me stay and he--" Ayame said.

"No! Now go! For Bankotsu!" Lirin yelled.

"For him! Now go!" Tesuma shouted as he fought off the demons.

Ayame watch as both her new and old friends fight for her… streaks of tears rolled down her face as she slowly turned and made her way to the back of the city…
