Sorry this update took so long i re did it several times and i was finishing school and everything, but now that I am done it should be more consistent.

With that said we move on to my customary and generic thanks to all those who had added this story to alerts and favorites and the ones that added me as an author to alerts and favorites it is all greatly appreciated. Now for the great big thanks to my four reviewers:

xxHeartless Girlxx: It does make sense and this chapter should explain it, although it's a little depressing and the explanation will get a little confusing when it's later in the story but I can and will explain it when it gets to the confusing part, but that's a long way down the road.

xXAngel AlliXx: Thanks this chapter is slightly depressing in the future or at least I think so. It might just be me though.

Princess of the western lands: Most of your questions will be answered in this chapter or the next or eleventh or even all three. I'm glad you like it so far.

Sakemori: I'll have a little part later on in the story when he actually takes his revenge but in this chapter he unfortunately can't do anything. I know it's a little depressing but it is explained.

Now that that's done we go on to the :

Disclaimer: I don't own the show characters I do own the OCs which kinda have a central roles which was really not what I planned.

Here it is what you've been waiting for even though I think a lot of you have already skipped to the main attraction here is chapter 9!

Chapter 9:

He was angry and when he got angry he killed things it didn't really matter what it was, recently it was trees or animals. He rarely killed the humans that drove him past his limit and the one demon that actually pissed him off he couldn't kill because his future heavily depended on the demon. He had made to many mistakes in his relationship and lost his mate and another child because of it, but this demon gave him chance after chance to fix things.

Sesshomaru growled trying to decide if it was possible to kill a demon already dead. Itoe-sama was a demon with the ability to transcend time and death, which seems impossible for anyone even the time traveling miko couldn't come back from the dead by her own power. This demon was given the task of granting peoples deepest wishes as payment for escaping death, his main goal was to ensure the protection of the world which rested greatly on the miko's shoulders.

"Inuyasha go away," Sesshomaru growled lowly as his brother entered the same hall he was walking down, he didn't bother to turn around.

"Why aren't I allowed to see Kags?"

"Because you or the 'old' you are partly to blame," Sesshomaru growled he remembered that day very well, it was one of his routine check-ups on his brother.

"It's not my fault she's injured, the old man just got carried away it has nothing to do with me. If your so pissed why not kill him you have your sword."

"I already thought of doing that, it wouldn't work on him he's not really alive."

"Then he can't die, so you could kill him it wouldn't do anything," Inuyasha pointed out and walked closer to his older brother.

"He could refuse to send her back," Sesshomaru said quietly and Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head, "Then I wouldn't have a second chance and they would stay dead."

"Sessh you know it wasn't your fault, right? Kags is just to use to being rejected that she thought that's what you were doing, she didn't understand that you were doing it for her safety. It shouldn't have affected her if she hadn't doubted your relationship. If it was anyone's fault it would have been mine since I constantly rejected her."

"I gave her reason to doubt,"

"Then the old man is just going to have to tell the 'old' you not to."

"Since when has this Sesshomaru listened to him or anyone?"

"That time the old man told you not to worry and you'd get another chance," Inuyasha smirked slightly and Sesshomaru growled.

"Why do you call him that?"

"What else do you expect me to call that old dead fart?"

"His name, or-"Sesshomaru stopped suddenly and Inuyasha glanced at him in confusion, until he noticed the slight scent of fear. His eyes widened for a moment before racing towards Itoe-sama's aura.

"Pup what do you want? I'm busy avoiding your brother and an early re-death," Itoe-sama growled as he punched a combination of buttons and he laughed at the smaller child as he won the game.

"Try hiding your aura next time. Sesshomaru's frozen again."

"Which near death experience is it this time?" Itoe-sama asked unconcerned.

Inuyasha was silent for a moment assessing what he felt at that moment, "The wolves."

That got Itoe-sama's attention and the two took off in the direction of Sesshomaru. One's past never effected ones future except for those that were immortal and had connections to Kagome, her traveling in the past changes the time line with every incident. Those who have lived to the present moment often found themselves frozen in place when their past self is faced with a near death experience. In the case with Sesshomaru it normally didn't matter he was in control of his own life and as long as that was the case he wouldn't die, but the current situation wasn't one of those cases. Sesshomaru's life was in the hands of the wolf prince.

Sometimes the wolf prince would pick Sesshomaru over the other wolves in which instances Sesshomaru would simply unfreeze. However there have been moments when the old Sesshomaru has died, and in such cases Sesshomaru fades before their eyes. Kagome returning to the past depends heavily on what Kouga chooses, if Sesshomaru dies Kagome lives her life in the present time. From there everyone else's lives are altered to result in the death of Naraku so that Kagome's present is never at risk of fading or being controlled by a power hungry demon.

The two demons watched anxiously to see whether or not Sesshomaru would have to go through this again. The tricky thing about time was that it was constantly changing, every choice changed the outcome and this was only amplified when someone goes back in time. It creates a continuous effect until the situation is put right and the only way that that would be accomplished would be if Kagome mated and stayed mated to the one that had been destined for her. This has yet to happen through various reasons, a few of the times Inuyasha and her would mate and she would die in the last battle. Occasionally Sesshomaru was too stubborn to just mate a weak human, and just sometimes Kagome would think herself undeserving of love and the two would remain apart.

This last time was the worst for Sesshomaru though; they had mated and spent many happy years together. Until a demon decided that it wanted to try and accomplish what Naraku had tried thus putting Kagome in a great deal of danger. Kagome could defend herself especially against the weak demon, but Sesshomaru's instincts would not allow his mate that was with child fight in any kind of battle. He sent her away so that she would be protected, but she didn't see it as that and thought that she was being rejected. In most cases that thought along would kill her, it broke the mating connection and since she was five hundred years past her death she should have disappeared instantly, collapsing into dust. That wasn't the case for some unknown reason she would not die until she actually thought something along the lines of 'I want to die' and with the agony of a broken mating the thought came quick enough.

But not quick enough to spare Sesshomaru watching his mate and child die.

…0

It was instinct that drove him forward he grasped the weapon in his hand and swiftly turned it onto his attacker, who was moving too fast to avoid being impaled onto his own weapon. Kouga turned around to Sesshomaru who looked emotionless as always, and then to his soon-to-be mate. He glared and turned his attention to every other wolf that was gawking at him and the dead assailant.

"This is what happens to traitors!" Kouga bellowed pointing at the dead demon beside him, "Sesshomaru is my greatest ally and thus far I have been more than unworthy of the alliance. He also has claimed close pack as his own. By attacking him you attack me and my own and that is not acceptable. I am your prince and you shall show respect."

He turned around and grasped Ayame roughly by the arm and pushed her forward growling lowly in warning not to try something like that. What ever happened now rested on her head, and if the looks Kouga was giving was any indication of his future actions it wouldn't be surprised if they all ended up dead. Kouga had willingly left his future grandfather in charge while he sought his revenge, and the young prince thought it was a mistake every time he saw the power hungry look in eyes.

It would end quickly enough and if anyone had a problem with his actions they were easily rid of, he disliked being disrespected. The older demon showed the greatest disrespect by trying to attain lands behind the prince's back, and targeting the most powerful demon lord. As they walked down the corridors his anger slowly grew and by time they stopped outside of Matsu's room his anger snapped and spark out of control in his aura. His powers would come in go in waves bordering on uncontrollable.

The door opened and the older demon smiled at his future grandson who was more than obviously pissed about something. Instantly his face brightened with a practiced calming smile, and Kouga growled a little to inform him that it was serious business. The other wolf's smile didn't fade though until Kouga walked through the door and revealed Sesshomaru, who glared.

Seeing the smile fade caused Kouga to growl the old demon had just admitted his guilt with his fading expression. Kouga rushed forward and held Matsu up by his throat growling as he glared up at him. His nails dug in and the other demon's eyes widened and soon the air was tinged with the scent of blood.

"You have betrayed me and gone behind my back. You have committed treason and for that you are sentenced with death," Ayame screamed as Kouga's claws went all the way through. He then tossed the body outside of the door, shocking the rest of the pack as their leader lay dead. They then backed away from the two demons as they walked through the crowd. They understood that this was an example of what will happen if the pursued similar actions. Kouga was their leader and was not to be trifled with and daring anything with the demon lord of the west was calling for death.

They all meekly stood aside and Sesshomaru walked out, never in his life has he ever depended on someone else to survive and he didn't like the feeling. He would make sure it would never happen and the next time an issue like this arose there would be no diplomatic attempts at a solution. He was just better off killing people.

He would leave Kouga to deal with his people since the risk to his own lands was now solved, and it was guaranteed that no such threats would be coming from the South again. It was also likely that the other lords would learn from example and avoid trying similar things, he had allies now and while he had been a big enough threat on his own he was simply one demon.

Kouga watched the demon lord walk away and he turned his attention to his 'pack' he glanced at them and then to the demoness that was supposed to be his mate. He doubted that they would mate now she had attempted to kill an ally and he in turn killed her grandfather. "On the topic of traitors, what should be done with some who has threatened an ally?" he was met with shouts as to the course of action, "Ayame has been accused of treachery what should be done?"

Many of them screamed death and Ayame looked around in horror. Others who were friends thought she should be given another chance. Many others had different opinions and Kouga opted for a kinder punishment that would allow her a chance to join the pack again.

"Ayame since you were only acting on orders from your grandfather I will spare you the same fate, you shall be banished until you can show that your loyalties lie in this pack and myself. You have a second chance, if you don't succeed in gaining the second chance you will live your life alone. However if on the off chance that you think you can take the lands away from me you will be killed. Now go."

She left and she ran for a while using air currents to push her further and further away from Kouga and the rest of the pack. She was angry and torn, she loved Kouga but he had been responsible for her grandfather's death. The demon who had been her only 'father' was now dead, killed by the one she claimed to love. Now she had no pack and no home and all under the name of some stupid unworthy mutt, who had no right to be a lord or as powerful as Sesshomaru is. They were inferior to wolves and that was all her grandfather was proving, especially had Kouga not interfered and saved the dog's life.

Her anger grew the further away she was from what used to be her home, she had been betrayed by her pack for the demon she loved. They weren't supposed to do that; they were supposed to rally around her and avenge their pack leader's life. Even if they died trying to take down the demons responsible, what they weren't supposed to do is accept him and turn their backs on her. They called for her death and had no qualms with her being banished; they didn't care about who she was anymore. She was no one important, just a traitor and nothing worth defending.

She continued to run through the forest ignoring everything in favour to let her anger run free, which any demon or human could have told her that it was foolish. Not that she would have listen they wouldn't understand and she wasn't going to waste the time explaining herself to those lower then herself. However she would fully admit it was a foolish thing for her to do especially as she was knocked back by what seemed like thin air.

"What do we have here?" a cold voice taunted and Ayame glanced around, finally glancing up to see a demoness on a large white feather. Kouga had talked about her, she was the reason he had to rebuild his tribe.

"Who are you?" She knew only slightly about her, not her name just that she had killed Kouga's tribe.

"Kagura. I work for Naraku who has learned of your current predicament, he offers you a way to get back at Kouga all you have to join us. You'll get everything that you want."

She wasn't sure if it was a choice or not, she hadn't heard of a lot of Kagura or Naraku she didn't concern herself with matters outside her tribe. That's all she ever had to be concerned with, that and finding some way for Kouga to love her. Maybe this was the way she could get her home back, and finally get Kouga to love her. Naraku could grant her everything she wanted, which meant her home and Kouga she could even kill this witch for him. He would love her then and she could go back home with him, all she had to do was join Naraku and Kill Kaugra. It was a good plan a very good plan.

"Why does he want me?" Ayame asked still thinking over what else she could do to get back home.

"Let us just say he is a sucker with those with hopeless cases and your case is as bad as they come. A girl shunned by her love and forced away from her home," a mocking tone slipped into the demoness' voice and Ayame glared. Her case was not hopeless there was still a chance, "There is no chance for you to still become Prince Kouga's mate even if you got to go back home. There is no chance for you to find love if you don't join Naraku."

She couldn't believe that, Kouga would love her after she killed the woman in front of her. There was no way he couldn't, yeah she had helped her grandfather who had no thoughts on giving back Kouga back his lands but killing the demoness responsible for his tribes death was more than enough to make up for everything. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the wind demon the were full of intent and the other demoness just laughed.

"You could try but my master would be very displeased with your death. You are no match for me, just take the deal and we can make this a lot easier than you planning. Either way you'll be joining us, and it's better if you get along with all of us on his team."

Ayame glared she didn't really have a choice in the matter and it was better to join the side that benefitted her the most. Naraku promised her everything she wanted which included a mate and love, which was more than what was guaranteed if she continued on her own. The anger faded from her eyes as she looked at the wind demon, it was replaced with something else which made Kagura smirk.

There was no way she could win Kouga's love, so she was going to make him suffer instead. Her eyes darkened slightly as she thought of exactly what she was going to do to her grandfather's killer. It would be worse than death; she would take away his everything just like he had done to her. She wanted revenge and she would get it by any means necessary.

Together the two females rode away on the wind.

End.

Before I get bad reviews I just want to point out that I do like Ayame but I needed some kind of weakness besides Kagura against Kouga and his friends, not to mention I kinda wanted to see her all badass and evil. So please don't hate me for my twisted mind I just wanted to make things interesting.

Anyway please review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
