.:. CHAPTER 2 .:.
The wind lifted as Kikyo strided to stand on the left, next to Naraku. A small boy followed. His eyes were hard and glossy, staring somewhat blankly across the ocean of earth that separated the two groups. Kagome boldly stepped forward to provide reassurance to Inuyasha, laying her hard lightly on his shoulder as he made to dash forward. He stopped, sensing her disappointment and sadness. He looked down at her, examining her face, watching the emotions that ran wild behind her eyes, as she just stared in front. Sighing softly, he muttered a small 'I'm sorry', before returning his gaze to the five persons across from them. Kagome heard, stealing a small peak at him. A metre back, Miroku softly squeezed Sango's hand beside him, as a lone tear ran down her cheek. She smiled sadly.
On the other side, Naraku took pleasure in the pain he brought to the individuals before him, allowing an evil smirk to produce on his dark features. His jet black hair wavered in the wind. To his right, Kagura and Kanna stood, awaiting his commands. Immediately beside him, Kagura lazily waved her fan in front of her face, as Kanna stood motionless, holding her gleaming, white mirror. The wind whistled through the trees as Kagura suddenly stood to attention. The winds had whispered another presence. The wolf prince. A little distance to her left, another wolf approached, unknown to her. Suddenly the incoming flew to a halt, standing on the edge of the soon-to-be dirty battlefield. At the same moment, a whirlwind of dust died down, revealing another wolf standing on the other edge.
"Interesting…" was the only voiced reply of Naraku, still smirking.
"Naraku!" voiced Kouga.
"Kouga!" shouted Ayame, drawing his attention to her.
"Ayame! What are you doing here?"
"You should know why I'm here! Your little gang just told me you ran away when you heard I was coming!"
"What! That's a load of bull. I came to kill this bastard!" pointing a finger at the darkest figure standing, simply enjoying the drama in front of him, throwing him a disgusted look, "Better keep out of it, Ayame. He's dangerous."
"Hmph. Don't tell me what to do."
"Ayame! NO!"
Kouga, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango and Miroku looked in alarm as Ayame charged at the Naraku. Shippo had curled up into a ball, unwilling to watch the scene play out, scared and shaking slightly. Ayame ran at a fast speed, watching as the shadowy person in front of her suddenly disappeared, only to show himself once more in the middle of the battlefield. Kouga watched astounded as Ayame attacked once more to start throwing punches, only to be dodged continuously. Abruptly noticing a small opening, Ayame aimed a good kick to his stomach. Staggering slightly from the unexpected force, Naraku resumed his position, eyes narrowing at the woman in front of him. Recovered, Naraku attacked. Ayame evaded the many attacks when out of the blue, she received a similar treatment – a blow to her side as she barely escaped the same blow to her stomach. Skidding from the power of the demon, she lay in the dirt a few metres away. She lay silently, dazed, when she heard approaching footsteps. The audience only stood silently, unable to move from the sudden combat. Ayame's eyes averted to a small closure as the footsteps grew louder before stopping. Laughter rung out.
"Kukukuku.."
Ayame's mind became increasingly alerted as she realised she could not predict where Naraku stood. His laughter had seemingly seem to surround her. Ayame snapped her eyes open and jumped up. All was dark. She couldn't see anything. A swift pain came searing from her hip. She looked down. A dark, oozing blood covered the now red material around the area of injury. He had dug his claws into her side. Lifting the material, she swiped a bit of blood from the wound for inspection. Small swirls of purple mixed with the dripping blood. She had been poisoned. Faltering slightly at another outburst of pain, she dropped to the ground. Ayame looked up as the darkness flickered for her to see the light of the day. A blur of brown showed Kouga standing before her, eyes tinged slightly with red. Her eyes watered slightly as she saw him look at her from the corner of her eyes. She couldn't hear what he was saying…
"Naraku!"
MINI STORY
"What! She started it!" was Naraku's whining of an excuse.
"Are you a baby or something?" Kouga asked.
"She started it!" was Inuyasha's irresponsible mimick of Naraku.
"Stop being mean, Naraku! Look what you did to my hand!" complained Miroku.
"Yeah! Miroku…stop touching my.." Sango exclaimed blushing hard.
"Touching what?" Miroku inquired back. By now everyone was staring at them.
"MY BUM!" Sango screamed, running off.
"Eww! Cooties!" Kagome yelled, running after her friend, "Wash it off! Wash it off!"
"How could you!" The three demons exclaimed.
"It's a girl!" (Naraku)
"It's her bum bum!" (Kouga)
"Pervert.." (Inuyasha)
"It was nice." (Guess who?)
"What about me!" wailed Ayame.
OK, MAYBE NOT. REAL STORY CONT'D
"Naraku! You asshole! What'd you do to her!" Kouga cried out.
"Kukuku..Nothing much, of course. She carelessly attacked and got sideswiped with poison. Nothing much at all! Hahahahaha!"
"You..!" Kouga attacked leaving Naraku on the defensive. Slash after slash after slash, Naraku got hit. Kouga showed no signs of slowing either. Finally being forced into a corner, Naraku shouted:
"Kagura!"
"Of course, milord," was the called reply. Turning to Kouga, with a swipe of her fan:
"Blades of wind!"
Suddenly being struck by flying blades which sharply ripped, much of the outfit he wore, Kouga was coerced to stop and back up. Panting heavily, the wolf prince scanned the partly bloodied area. Naraku stood nearby Ayame, with blood dripping from a cut on his cheek, which neither he nor Ayame inflicted upon earlier. Naraku lifted a hand to his cheek while glowering at Kagura, who merely shrugged and continued to fan herself. Twisting back to glare at Kouga, and without a foremost warning, landed a straight kick at Ayame, sending the girl flying to the feet of the other wolf, smirking. Letting out a small growl, Kouga bent down to examine her wounds.
'Aargh..heh..at least the darkness has dissipated,' Ayame thought. Keeping Naraku within sight in the corner of his eyes, Kouga spoke gruffly, snapping Ayame out of her thoughts.
"Are you alright?" he asked, words only coated with complete worry. Noticing this, Ayame smiled.
"I'm fine," she whispered back, barely audibly. A fit of coughs followed unexpectedly with a little blood spurting out.
"No, your not. Let me take a look," Kouga rallied, attempting to roll her over onto her sides. Suddenly a searing pain in her side made her gasp aloud, biting her lower lip in agony. Small tears came to her eyes.
"Kouga. I'm so sorry…for everything."
"Shh…don't say anything."
No, Kouga. I need to tell you something," Ayame began as another pain shot through.
"Don't worry. Everything will be alright," Kouga replied, with uncertainty as he noticed the amount of lost blood that had seeped into the ground beneath.
"Kouga," she continued, sadly laughing softly and hoarsely, "You're lying through your teeth."
"No, no. I won't believe that. You'll be fine. You'll be fi…" he answered, slightly drifting towards the end.
"Kouga. Kouga. Look at me." Kouga looked up to stare into her eyes, slightly surprised at the tone in her voice.
"I love you, Kouga. I always have, and…" More pain shot through her side. It burnt. "Aargh…I always have, and, and…" More excruciating pain. Tears formed in her eyes, trickling lightly down her dirt-washed faced. "And I always will…aargh..Wherever I went..wherever I go…" Kouga picked up her hand, clutching it tightly, unwilling to let her soul leave the earth.
"No. Don't say that.." he whispered, tears coming into his own eyes.
"Kouga. You will always be in my heart…" The warmth in her body slowly drained away as she spoke her last words. Kouga crouched next to her, helpless. Slowly, he lifted his other hand, still holding tight to Ayame, to close her eyes, just as a tear dropped onto one of the newly-closed eyelids, running down to mingle with Ayame's own last tears.
"Ayame…"
