Hey guys I'm finally back! I know I haven't updated in 3 months and I will be updating my other stories soon so bear with me! I would like to thank everyone who has left such awesome reviews you all know who you are! Well I know you want to get on with the story so as always I don't own Inuyasha or The Best Of You by the Foo Fighters!
Rin moved to stand next Ayame, they exchanged glances then glared back up at the dark wolf tribe,"Ayame who is that guy?"
"I'm not sure," Ayame mutters to were just Rin can hear her," but I'm about to find out."
"Get them!"
Rin snapped her head back to see two female ookami warriors coming at her,"Well this should be fun."
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you
The light hit her dark orbs casting off a reddish hue; reflecting her dangerous mood. She didn't bother to reach for the daggar sharp weapons she hid concealed, a dangerous sneer pulled her lip up revealing pearly white teeth, as white-knuckled fists cleanched at her side. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt this much anger, she was mad, at herself, at him, and at anyone that so happened got in her way. She was number one, the only human rumored to move like a youkai, an elite of elites, she was "the best" at what she did, but ever since the stoic, monotonous Dog General's son had come back into her life she had fallen back into the same old routine, protector and protected, ignored her basic training, What had she proven herself but weak...the average slayer...that was all about to change.
Red hued eyes met sparkling jade daggars, Ayames sharp daggared glare seemed to grow more dangerous by the second as she clenched her lengthened claws as her youkai began to take over. The two female ookami had stopped onto the cliffs above them waiting, watching, and Rin grinned," I'll personally take on your whole flea bitten fleet of mutts."
The leader sneered and without his orders the others lept at her she sneered and lept fist first into the air born pack.
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Her fist connected left and right, ducking and dodging the kicks coming her way. She drew her Sai and quickly made work of the wolfs around her, Ayama doing the same. She was unsure of what she was swinging at now all she knew was they were coming for her left and right, but she was to quick. Rin sneered to herself as she made work of the wolves that opposed her knowing Ayame was following her lead. Her famous youkai like speed kicked in making her almost a blur to the human eye, and to think she was still holding back. The images of what had just accured kept replaying themselves in her head, her anger grew, he loved that crimson eyed wind youkai. He loved another women, whos name was not Rin, most beautifully feared slayer in all of Japan. He loved Kagura.
Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
The fiery kiss he had shared just moments before with the wind youkai played through her mind again and again sending her rage into overdrive. She felt the Inu-tachi's eyes on her as she portrayed demon slaying at its best, as she assended from slayer to assasin without a cause, and soon she was standing in the midst of an empty battle field herself alone standing with no enemy to fight, Ayame's voice broke the silence she heard.
"Rin she's getting away!"
A sneer that would make Naraku flinch and double take appeared on her full lips, as a dark laugh escaped," Not today."
Her speed kicked in, and if you were not looking at her like she was sure everyone was, you would wonder how she had reappeared in front of the fleeing female ookami so fast. Her arms were crossed her long hair swished from the high ponytail it was in and fanned behind her, her hued eyes gleamed, as her lips pulled back to reveal a sharp canine," Where do you think your going, I'm no where close to being finished with you," the female ookami took a step back as Rin stepped forward ," I don't even need this,"she threw her Sai to the ground feet away from herself," to defeat you."
"Rin! STOP! STOP NOW!" She didn't turn her head to the young miko who was calling out to her she mearly stopped in her advance on the warrior infront of her and sighed running a hand to move the bangs out of her face.
She finally met eyes with the miko who was making her way towards her, Inuyasha on her heals," Rin, STOP! What has gotten into you? You showed no mercy! What kind of way was that to fight? Now look at you backing this young ookami warrior up like you were cat and mouse! What gives you the right to do that? You just arrived! You don't know whats going on or why there here! You didn't even stop to find out there actions of being here! Why are you acting like this all of the sudden, as, as if, as if..." Kagome stopped as Inuyasha stepped beside her and finished her sentence," As if your a youkai."
"She attacked me, she sent her warriors after me. In the village where I've been living, in situations where your comrads are being attacked you don't stop to ask questions. I listened to my training and thats exactly what I did. I've become lazy lately, leaving all of this Shikon collecting to you," Rin let the sharp tone drop from her voice as she sided with the miko," Kagome I know you've never seen that side of me before, none of you have, but that is what it will take to defeat Naraku. You are a miko and you try to get the best possible outcome out of a situation, you want to spare those around you, thats the difference in us. I'm a Youkai Slayer, an assasin of sorts, our morals lie in different places, though they're really not that different. You want whats best for those around you, as do I, but we will go about different ways of obtaining our goals."
Rin turned her attention back to the female ookami infront of her," You have been spared, I suggest you thank the miko, Kagome," Rin picked up her Sai her back turned from them all," I leave her to you Kagome, release the ookami, question her, I don't care at this point."
She felt their eyes on her as she walked to the edge of the clearing and lept into the top of the largest Sakura tree she could find.
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...
Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...
Ayame watched her friend go, something was up, you could practically feel the fury flaming off of her as she fought, and then as she walked to the edge of the clearing. Something, or more likely Someone had made her this way. This was how the young slayer fought before the Dog General's son came back into her life, and now as she watched his golden eyes follow the slayer, she knew Rin had shown them all she was not an opponent to be taken lightly. So with the thought of having a little chat with her friend later on she turned to the two in front of her, the remark of ,"Well hime I thought you knew that our tribes were at war, or are you to blinded by your love for that mutt Kouga to see the difference?", putting her into the same mood as Rin.
Ayame's emerald eyes glowered turning an almost jade color, she flexed her claws her youkai flowed giving the jade a reddish tint and lengthening her claws and fangs, showing the two weaker opponents she was not someone they wanted to mess with.
"What are your purposes in these lands, besides the fact of an impending war, why have you come here?" Ayame growled lowly , but loudly enough for the youkai in the group and hanyou to hear.
It was the male youkai who spoke," We are mearly messengers from the dark wolf's clan, you know war is quite a pressing matter between all wolves now, but your pack is almost non-existant. I mean you are the one incharge now with your grandfathers passing and all," Ayame seemed taken back by this so the male continued," I see you didn't know about that either hime. As I said earlier you off chasing after that mutt over there and all I'm surprised you know what clan I'm even from, you never were a good leader Ayame."
The male ookami never got a chance to finish his rant as he fell to the forest floor, the sound of a katana being sheathed could be heard, Ayame's fierce gaze turned to the only remaining member of the dark wolf pack," Explain yourself quick girl," she snarled out her voice sharp, canines gleaming as the ookaim infront of her began," It was an attack a few weaks ago, it was not my doing, I wasn't there, all I know is some guy on a fiery horse showed up and told us we were to attack the white wolves of the north , unless we wanted our tribe to be demolished. We were then sent to give you this message from some guy named Naraku, if we could not defeat you hime, he says you should never have involved yourself in this, and now you are on his list. He says he knows you know who the slayer is and that if he can't rightfully find her then he'll be coming for you. Thats all I know."
Ayame's green orbs had long ago faded into a bright crimson," I'm sparing you today ookami not because of the miko over there, I highly doubt anyone in Japan could stop me from tearing you to pieces right now, if I so choose. I want you to leave this place at once, you will be left as a warning. Go tell your tribe, that soon I will be coming for them, and I will personally see to their destruction. There won't be any where to hide when I get there, do I make myself clear?"
The other female nodded before turning and quickly making herself scarce.
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess
"Ayame," she heard the miko question.
She turned to her, eyes still crimson, claws clenched," Kagome?"
"About your clan, your grandfather..."
"Don't," Ayame stopped her, as the youkai slowly dissapated from site, her eyes slowly fading back to green, claws and fangs returning to their normal length," It wasn't your fault, I'm their leader I should have been there."
"Naraku's after you now," She heard Kouga state to which she only replied," He picked the wrong ookami to mess with."
"Lets go, this place is starting to bug me," Inuyasha announced heading out, as Rin soon fell in behind the group.
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
It had been about an hour and no one had spoken a word as Ayame fell back in place next to Rin, they fell back out of ear shot of the others as Rin told Ayame everything that had transpired in the forrest just hours earlier.
"Don't worry it will all work out, I know. Just think I didn't even get to talk to Kouga, I was with Kagome the whole time, which actually led us to Kouga. Seeing as she could sense the shards in his legs, infact you where here for most of what happened with the other wolf clan."
Rin grinned laughing lightly at how annoyed Ayame must have been after Kouga started fawning over Kagome instead of her.
Ayame's voice broke the laughter, a serious tone matched the look she had taken on," You know, we don't have to stay here if you don't want to, we can leave Rin it's no big deal to me, we might even do better on our own, ya know, I mean Naraku is after us , you in particular..."
"What do you mean by leave?"
Ayame's head snapped up to look at Kouga who was standing arms crossed with the other Inu-tachi, who had all stopped to give them questioning glances.
"I'm just saying, at this rate, we will be discovered sooner rather then later, especially now that I've become some what of an interest to the hanyou," Ayame sighed as Inuyasha gave her a questioning look," Naraku, not you Inuyasha."
At that everyone laughed lightly.
"I think we would do better as a team, I mean I think we could train together Rin and that definatly would help us out in battle, I could probably learn a thing or two from you, I've never seen a slayer move that fast before!" Sango exclaimed.
"I agree with Sango, it would be better for you to stick with us, for your safety of course," Miroku replied rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish grin.
I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Over these last few years I've had to start over so many times, I'm getting tired of it, and for now I'll be staying, we're stronger as a team," Rin concluded seriously," Oh, and Sango, if you want to start training with me thats fine.
"Well then now that, thats settled can we stop sitting around and start hunting jewel shards, I mean Naraku almost has them all collected and we're just standing here jabbering about some sentimental female stuff, lets go already!" Inuyasha growled.
Kagome eyed him warily," Inuyasha, watch it."
"Wench don't tell me what to do, I'll do as I please, when I please!"
"Mutt, don't talk to my Kagome like that!"
Kagome moved to break it up but Rin grinned and moved in front of her putting a hand out to stop her advance," I'll handle this."
Rin walked up next to the two, grabbed Kouga by the collar, and Inuyasha by the ear and quite unexpectantly threw them both to the ground feet from each other and turning with a glare in her eyes she snarled in a quite voice," Both of you break it up NOW!"
Kagome couldn't help it, she burst out laughing as the two males confusedly look from each other to the slayer, before muttering a low fine, and standing back up.
"So how long do you think it will be before he does discover your the slayer?" Sango questioned.
"More importantly how long until he tries to capture you, once he does find out," Miroku added more seriously.
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
"I'm not sure, but I've always said that I'll never give in, my nature refuses to, and so I'll fight him until I can no longer, and seeing as I was barely even trying earlier today, I think I might be more of a challenge then he expected," Rin grinned out as she walked towards the front of the group.
"I doubt you could measure up to him," Kagura cut in from her place beside Sesshoumaru," I mean your quiete strong, but he in comparison, is far more of an opponent, after all your only a ninjen."
Rin clenched her jaw, her fists clenched, knuckles white, she was about to knock the arrogant smirk off of the wind youkai's face when Ayame came in between them and focused her gaze on the wind youkai," Watch who your speaking to Kagura. I'm not afraid of that boyfriend of yours, whom you seem to think you can hide behind, one more comment like that and I'll rip your head off before you'll even know what hit you."
Sesshoumaru released a warning growl which Ayame met with a louder one of her own," You don't want to tangle with me dog boy," she snarled towards the Taiyoukai who cracked his claws, she did the same neither backing down.
"STOP THIS NOW!" Kagome demanded," We're comrads, Stop Fighting!"
Ayame's snarl turned into a sneer," The miko's right for now, but Kagura I don't trust you and if you double cross me, I can't be held responsible for my actions," Ayame turned from her then," I've got my eye on you Kagura."
She turned and walked towards the front of the group, Kouga's surprised gaze following her, as remarks of," She just stood up to Sesshoumaru and she's still walking," went around.
Ayame kept her gaze forward but her thoughts were on the wind youkai, she was hiding something, and Ayame was going to find out what.
