Ayame had just falling in the mud and was starting to cry. She had slipped in mud and fell. This was not why the redhed wolf was crying. She was crying because her poor over worked and sore ankle had had just snapped and after three days of none stop fighting or walking she had had enough.

This was the final battle with Naraku and for the last three days everone had been in the fight and all were starting to show the wear and tear of the final battle.

Kagome had some broken ribs and a cold.

Inuyasha had a broken arm and some broken ribs. Plus a bite mark on his good arm.

Poor Shippo had a broken arm .A broken leg and a large bump on his head from Inuyasha.

Sango has a broken wrist and was still able to throw her hiraikotsu with enough force to save Kagome from Naraku in the last fight.

Miroko had a spreading kazaana from to much use and a large bump on his head from Sango.

Kouga only had a few deep cuts and scrapes but these had become infected and he becoming weaker and starting to run a fevor.

Ayame had twisted the ankle the first day but none stop use and the fall in the mud was all it could take.

Sesshomaru had been biten by several of Narakus posien snakes and though he would not admite to it in frount of Inuyasha was happy to stop for a rest.

Jaken was dead. He was killed the first day fighting with Kana. He had manged to get close enough to use the Jintojo and kill Kana. He never saw Kougra kill him from behind.

Kougra never saw Sesshomaru move so fast and never saw the demon lord draw his sord and cut her in half.

Kirara was very sick from Narakus poisen.

Ayame sat there in a large mud puddle crying. She could go no more. Kouga just walked over and picked up his mate. Begging her to stop crying and asked her if she had hurt the pups that were growing inside of her.

"Kouga there is a small village with a healer I know upahead who could take care of Ayame"

"Kagome we can't stop!" "You hurt Naraku bad with that last arrow of yours."

"INUYASHA ! " Gulp. "Yes Kagome?"

"SIT BOY !" And with that our favorite hanyou took a mud puddle bath.
"How could I have taken such a jerk for my mate!" "You did not not even ask if Ayame is ok!"

"Stupid dog shit. Pissed your mate off again. Will you ever learn?"

"Kouga behave yourself or your not sleeping in my cave." "Yes Ayame."

After leaving Ayame with the healer a very upset wolf rejoined the group.

"Kouga are you ok?"

"NO Kagome Im not. I promised Ayame we would never be apart three days ago and had to just break that promise. Plus she was crying again and I can't stand to see her cry."

"It will all be over soon Kouga. Naraku is slowing down and its just him. He wont last long."

"Ihope so Inuyasha. Were headed toward the well . I hope this is not anouther trap."

I do not own Inuyasha and never will . Bad news . You won't own Inyuasha so get over it
