Chapter 11: The Group Goes Their Separate Ways

 

 

Ayame, meet me where Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo are. Hurry. Ayame ran toward the smells of Kagome and Inuyasha, the smell of blood assaulting her nose, as well as that of bones and graveyard soil. She was afraid of what she would find. Makai had sounded worried. That never boded well. She could feel her legs start to burn because she was pushing them so hard. She could feel Kouga behind her, though she didn't know why he was following.

 

She saw a clearing up ahead, Makai standing just in front of someone lying on the ground. She saw Inuyasha leap toward the dead miko, Kikyo, his claws drawn. She saw him bring them down as the dead miko dodged his arm. He went for her again and pinned her to a tree, his hand around her neck. The dead miko said something, which seemed to make Inuyasha hesitate. He sniffed the air, looking behind him and his hold once again tightened around Kikyo's throat. He leaned toward the dead miko, their faces inches apart before he said something to her and ripped her head from her neck. The miko turned to dust and floated away in the breeze.

 

Ayame skidded to a halt a few feet from Makai. She looked at Inuyasha, wondering where Kagome was before the smell of blood once again assaulted her nose. She turned toward its source, the person lying at Makai's feet. It was Kagome.

 

Ayame let out a small screech, and tried to run toward the injured girl. Inuyasha growled at her to stop, but she didn't care. She felt an arm wrap around her waist, pulling her against a well-muscled chest. She knew it was Kouga holding her so intimately, but Kagome's predicament overrode her giddiness at their position. She continued to struggle against his hold, when Inuyasha said something.

 

“Control your bitch, Kouga,” the demon Inuyasha's low, gravely voice said.

 

“I'm nobody's bitch,” Ayame exclaimed, glaring angrily at Inuyasha.

 

“I understand, Inuyasha,” Kouga said before throwing Ayame over his shoulder. She struggled even more, beating her fists against the wolf prince's back as he headed off into the woods.

 

“Let me go, Kouga,” Ayame yelled angrily.

 

“No.”

 

Ayame gave a small shriek when Kouga slapped her butt to get her to quite up. Slowly, Ayame's struggles grew less intense, until she stopped. She would just wait until Kouga put her down to kick his ass. Let him think that she'd submitted.

 

Meanwhile, back at the clearing, Makai watched Inuyasha's eyes travel toward her and Kagome. He started growling at her, but she just smiled. She knew he was only trying to protect Kagome.

 

“Inuyasha, let me heal Kagome. She won't survive much longer in her condition. Once I'm done, I'll leave.”

 

Inuyasha shook his head yes, and Makai knelt next to Kagome. First, she got rid of the arrow. Then she gently sent energy into Kagome's wound, healing it in moments. Makai rose to her feet, facing Inuyasha.

 

“I've done all I can for her. She just needs some rest. I'll leave now, like I promised.”

 

Makai turned and headed into the woods. It had been a long day. First the fight with Sesshoumaru and then Kagome and Inuyasha, it was little much, even for her. I need a bath. I think there's a hot spring close by. Yes, a bath sounds lovely. Makai smiled, everything was happening as it should.
