Chapter 9
I'll Never Let You Go
"Nooooo!" Screamed Inuyasha. He ran to the edge of the cliff, jumped in the air, and dove off the edge after Ayame. He fell at outrageous speeds. "Ayame!" He called to her. Her eyes were closed. "I can hear him, but I can't turn back now." She thought. She didn't realize Inuyasha had jumped of the edge after her. He flattened himself out so he could drop faster. She was now about eight feet away from him. "Come on!" he thought. He pushed himself so flat that he picked up 3 miles. He reached out, but he still wasn't close enough. Then, the sun rose over the horizon, Inuyasha turned back into a half demon. "Now I can get to her!" he thought. He used his flying power(sounds fishy) to speed up to Ayame. He then reached out and grabbed her. She felt an arm wrap around her waist unexpectedly. "Huh?" She thought, then Inuyasha grabbed onto a ledge. The rock cut into his hand and wrist. The force of them falling and then suddenly stopping caused them to slam against the cliff wall. Ayame now realized that it was Inuyasha whom was holding onto her. "Inuyasha-you-" she began, but was interrupted by Inuyasha, "We'll talk about that later! Grab on to my shoulders!" She held on and Inuyasha used both hands to hold on to the ledge. He looked on each side of him to see if there was a ledge large enough for them to rest on. He spotted one that was protruding from the rock wall that had an overhang above it. Inuyasha swung from the ledge he was holding onto, to another ledge. He inched his way closer and closer to the large ledge. The more he inched, the more he swung, the more he swung, the harder it was to hold on. He finally reached the ledge. Ayame got on first and then helped Inuyasha up. They took a moment to catch their breaths. Then Inuyasha stared at Ayame, his face filled with fright and anger. Ayame gave him a look of sorrow and submission. Then Inuyasha jolted forward and held Ayame tight. "How could you do that to me!" He said as tears ran down his face. "I-I'm so sorry!" Ayame sobbed into his chest. "Why did you still jump off? I know you saw me." He asked her. "I thought you still loved Kagome, so I figured there was no place for me." She replied. "Ayame," Inuyasha began, "There is always a place for you…and that's in my heart." "But, Inuyasha, you risked your life for me!" she cried. Then Inuyasha put his cheek to her cheek, and whispered in her ear, "I'll never let you go…"
