Ayame and Koga were on the move to search for Ginkotsu, one of the most dangerous demons of the Band of Seven. They knew that they had to be careful of the guns since that was one of his specialties. He uses guns, missiles, a drill that's stored in his chest, and chainsaws as his weapons, and that is what makes him one of the most dangerous demons in the group.

"This battle is going to be tougher than any other battles that we have overcame together. Ginkotsu won't go down so easily with that machine like body of his." Ayame stated as she looked around for any signs of the bear demon. Koga furrowed his brows and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I know that it won't be easy, but we are going to give it everything we got to defeat this bastard." Koga told her with confidence. Ayame nodded but Koga knew that she had a hint of doubt hidden inside her. He knew that she was afraid of this battle but she was even more afraid of the battle that will soon take place. The battle between Onigumo and his army.

"Please koi, everything will be fine. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." Koga stated to her as he placed a kiss on her cheek. Ayame smiled as she looked into Koga's ocean blue eyes.

"I'm happy to have you as my mate koi. You make me feel stronger than I have ever felt." Ayame stated with love in her emerald green eyes. Koga smiled at her and kissed her lips softly. When the broke apart, Koga took her hand and lead the way.

"Let's keep looking, and we'll defeat this guy together. Nothing is going to get in our way." Koga stated as they sprinted forward.

A few minutes later, Koga and Ayame had reached a field of flowers. Ayame stopped as she saw some beautiful white flowers that looked just like her own. Koga came next to her and smiled as he watched her carefully pick the flower.

"Irises are very beautiful don't you think so Koga?" She asked as she sniffed the flower with a gentle smile. Koga placed a hand on her arm and looked her in the eyes.

"Not as beautiful as you my dear." He states as he gently takes the flower and places it in her hair. Ayame blushed with the gesture.

"It definitely compliments you my dear." Koga said with a smile. Ayame chuckled as she kissed Koga on the cheek.

"Thank you Koga." She said. Koga nodded with a smile as he watched her explore the field of flowers. He knew that he had to stay alert though. They weren't out to have fun, they were out to hunt down Ginkotsu. 'Even so, maybe coming here was good for Ayame. It seems like it calmed her nerves down, and that makes me happy to see she's happy.' He thought with a smile.

"Hey Koga, take a look at this!" Ayame shouted from where she stood. Koga chuckled shaking his head as he began to walk forward. Something caught his eye though as he moved closer to Ayame. He saw a glimpse of silver shining from the distance and sniffed the air. 'Gunpowder?' He asked himself. He heard the gunshot and saw a few missiles heading towards Ayame.

"Ayame move out of the way!" Koga shouted as he ran to her. Ayame looked up and saw the missiles heading her way with fear in her eyes. Koga caught her in his arms and jumped out of the way of the attack.

"Where the hell did that come from!?" Ayame asked in shock. Koga placed her down on the ground with a glare.

"Take a wild guess." Koga stated as he pointed out towards a cave that was in the distance. Ayame followed where he pointed and saw a figure out in the distance.

"Ginkotsu." Ayame stated as she saw the bear demon coming from the cave.

"Damn. My attack didn't kill neither of you." Ginkotsu stated. Koga growled as he gently pushed Ayame behind him.

"You have a lot of nerve attacking us like that. You have no idea who you're dealing with." Koga threatened as he flexed his claws. Ginkotsu chuckled darkly.

"Obviously you have no idea who YOU are dealing with you pathetic K-9. Maybe my brother's might have been easily killed but I won't be as easy as they were." Ginkotsu stated.

"K-9!? Who the fuck are you calling a K-9 you asshole!? I'm a wolf demon dammit!" Koga growled as he charged at Ginkotsu with anger.

"Koga no!" Ayame shouted with a frightened look. Ginkotsu smirked as he was getting ready to shoot from his cannon.

"Shit!" Koga growled as he backed away from the attack before Ginkotsu fired. Koga dodged every attack Ginkotsu fired. Ayame growled as she grabbed a leaf and blew into it.

"Leaf Storm!" She shouted as leaves flew around her and turned into blades. She thrust her arm forward and the leaves went straight to Ginkotsu. They made little scratches here and there, but Ginkotsu took it no more than a mere scratch. Ayame gasped as two saws shot straight out towards her.

"Ayame no!" Koga shouted. Ayame jumped out of the way from the first blade and bent down to dodge the other. What she didn't see was the other blade. She gasped.

"Ayame!" Koga pushed her out of the way taking the hit from the blade. Koga hissed in pain as he and Ayame landed on the ground.

"Koga you're hurt." Ayame stated as she sat up. Koga sat up along with her with his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm alright Ayame, it's just a mere scratch. Are you alright though?" He asked as he looked her over. Ayame nodded.

"Yes, I'm fine thanks to you." Ayame stated. Koga nodded his approval and looked up to see Ginkotsu getting ready to fire again.

"Move!" Koga shouted as he grabbed Ayame and dodged the bullets. Ginkotsu sneered as he shot a missile into the air, which exploded to hundreds of other missiles.

"WHAT THE!?" Koga shouted in shock. He took Ayame on his back and ran as fast as he could to avoid getting hit by the missiles. Ayame ducked down, frightened by the attacks. Koga jumped into the cave as more missiles fired at them. The missiles were showering towards the cave that they were in causing the cave to rumble. Ayame ducked down with a worried expression.

"Koga, what are we going to do!? This cave won't hold forever!" Ayame stated with a frightened look. Koga placed his hand over her head protecting her from the rocks that crumbled from the cave. 'I have got to think of something before this cave comes down on the both of us.' Koga thought with a worried expression.

"It's over for the both of you. There's no escaping my attacks" Ginkotsu sneered evilly. Koga held Ayame in his arms with a protective glare growling with frustration. 'Damn! What am I going to do?'
