A/N ok hope you liked chapter 11, here's chapter 12… hope you Ayame/Bankotsu lovers out there would review this… thank you… I dun own anyone from Inuyasha…
Recap: "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…
Both the king and the two princes turned in surprise.
"Ayame? Lirin? What's this?" Temasu asked as he stood up and walked towards the two girls.
"Temasu, you know this girl?" the king asked.
"Yes father, Ayame, is the girl Tesuma found in the forest." Temasu said.
"Oh, and Lirin, what's this about this Ayame knowing about the Shinkon no tama?" the king asked.
"Ayame here, is in search of the Shinkon no tama to make a wish hoping that the people Naraku used or hurt would be alive and well…" Lirin said.
"That means mother would come back to life!" Tesuma said suddenly.
"Yes my son, but Naraku has most of the pieces how are we supposed to take the pieces away from him?" the king asked.
"I know a miko who is after Naraku as well. She travels with a monk, Miroku, a demon exterminator, Sango, a kitsu, Shippo, a demon cat, Kirara and a hanyou Inuyasha… and she herself is called Kagome…" Ayame said.
"Take a seat Ms Ayame, Lirin, bring Ms Ayame some food." The king said.
"Yes your majesty…" Lirin said as she gave a bow and left the room closing the doors behind her.
"Thank you your majesty…" Ayame said as she sat on one of the chairs opposite Tesuma and Temasu.
Just then, Lirin came in followed by two demons carrying two plates. They placed the plate down on the golden table. Then both the demons and Lirin bowed and left the room. Ayame just noticed that both the king and the two princes had not stared eating so she sat quietly waiting for them to take the first bite.
"The king first then the princes then me, the king first then the princes then me…" Ayame chanted in her head.
Being a princess herself, she was taught since young that the king was always the first to take a bite followed by the queen, her sons then the daughters.
"Hmm, she knows that the king has to start by taking the first bite…" the king thought as he took the first bite as he continued observing Ayame.
The king ate the first bite followed by the princes. Ayame looked as she saw the princes ate their first bite. After that, Ayame picked up her fork and knife and begin cutting up what seems like deer meat.
"How did you learn to eat so gracefully?" the king asked.
"I-I…" begins Ayame.
"Should I tell? Should I tell? I should…" Ayame said in her head.
"I am the granddaughter of the elder of the northern wolf tribe so that's means I'm the princess of the northern wolf tribe." Ayame said as she placed her utensils down on the table before she raised her head and looked at all the king.
"So that's where you learn how to behave in front of royalty…" Temasu said.
"Yeah, but I never got to learn all of it since both my parents were killed by those birds of paradise…" Ayame said as she remembered how her grandfather told her.
Flashback…"Ayame, where are you? I have to tell you something…" the elder begin.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Ayame called out as she ran out of the den grinning from ear to ear.
Dressed in small body armor and white skins, Ayame looked the same except for the size. Ayame jumped and hugged her grandfather as he hugged her back.
"What did you want to tell me grandpa?" Ayame asked still grinning ear to ear.
With that, the elder's face fell as he knew he had to tell this to the little girl.
"Ayame, this is going to be hard on you but you have to know… your father and mother, are dead…" the elder said.
Ayame's smile faded away in an instant. Her parents were dead. Gone…
"Grandpa, if this is a joke, it is not funny… my parents are alright… they are hunting with the others right?" Ayame asked looking very worried.
"I'm not joking my dear granddaughter… They are dead…" the elder continued.
Just then, a few bloody wolves appeared and fell on to the ground.
"Ayame, go inside, this is not a place for you…" the elder said as he quickly let Ayame down and rushed off to help the injured…
End of flashback…"Ayame? Ms Ayame…" came a voice…
"Huh?" Ayame said as she realised that she had spaced out on the king and the two princes.
"Are you ok? You spaced out suddenly…" Temasu asked.
"Yeah, I'm ok sorry…" Ayame replied.
Just then, screams filled the air. A guard ran in and informed them.
"Your majesty and highness, sorry for interrupting, but the castle is under attack, we need to get you to a safe place quick." The guard said.
"Bring my father to a safe place, we will fight it out with the demons…" Tesuma said as he unsheathed his sword.
"What about you Temasu?" the king asked.
"I'll be fighting along side my brother…" Temasu said as he unsheathed his sword too.
"Ok… be careful my sons…" the king said as he followed the guard in to a secret passage in the wall.
"You too father…" Tesuma answered as he turned and rushed down the stairs followed by Temasu and Ayame.
Reaching the town, everywhere were demons screaming and running about. Rushing to the main gate, they saw hundreds and thousands of demons led by a wind sorceress floating on a feather.
"Kagura!" Ayame exclaimed.
"Well, well, well… it's the female wolf demon who was ditched by that wimpy male wolf… Naraku wants the three shards from you and you can either give to me easily or by force… Now choose…" Kagura said.
"Ayame don't, you can't trust Naraku and his minions…" Tesuma said as he stepped in front of Ayame.
"Or we can use the third way, by not giving it to you at all." Tesuma said.
"Then die! Dance of the dragons!" Kagura yelled as she gave her fan a wave.
Blades shot out of her fan and headed for Tesuma… Shocked by the blades coming out of the fan, Tesuma stood there.
"Tesuma!" Temasu yelled as he jumped forward and pushed him away.
"Tesuma, are you ok?" Temasu asked.
"Yeah… Thanks you my brother…" Tesuma said.
Both of them ran off to the main gate to help and defend their home.
"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… But then, Kagura flew towards her and attacked her.
"Watch out!" came a voice Ayame thought she would never get to hear ever again.
Jumping down, Bankotsu caught Ayame and jumped out of the blades way.
"Bankotsu!" Ayame exclaimed.
"Ayame, I'm sorry…" Bankotsu said.
"No, it's not your fault." Ayame said as she hugged Bankotsu.
Pulling apart, Bankotsu lifted Ayame's chin and kissed her on the lips. A little shock, Ayame looked at Bankotsu for a few seconds before closing her eyes and enjoying the touch of Bankotsu's lips on hers.
"Bankotsu, I always thought Kouga was the one, but I was wrong… you are, my saviour…" Ayame said in her head…

PREVIEW…
"I love you Ayame…" Bankotsu said as he watch Ayame's sleeping form.
In his heart, he knew that he was not going to be able to see her again. Naraku was going to come for him cause he betray him… But no matter what, he didn't regret helping Ayame the only thing he never though would happen was he falling in love with Ayame.
"Even when I die once more, I will never forget you and I will make sure you'll never get hurt… I know Naraku is going to take out the shard from me and I will turn in to a pile of bones… I just want you to be happy… I know you are sleeping right now, but I want you to know this…" Bankotsu said.
But what Bankotsu didn't know was that since Ayame's back was facing him, he couldn't see the silent tears rolling down her face…
