Chapter Twelve- Friends Are Forever

Ayame was having a wonderful dream of her and Kouga frolicking through fields of flowers when there was a knock on her door. Ayame snorted, jerking awake. Wiping the drool off her face she looked around.

*Knock*Knock*Knock*

"This better be good Jaken..." Ayame growled as she got up to answer the door.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*

"I'm COMING! WHAT?!?" Ayame yelled as she threw open the door.

There stood Kouga in all his real glory. Dreams really do come true! "What are you doing here!?! How did you get past the guards?"

Kouga grinned and pointed to Kuito and Kavati who sat panting next to his feet. Ayame rolled her eyes, "I said bring him the message, not bring him to me... geezz.."

Ayame yanked Kouga into her room before anyone saw him. "Seriously Kouga, " Ayame whispered frantically. "This is really dangerous, Sesshomaru will kill you if he finds you here."

Kouga snorted, "Psh. The mutt can try."

"Yet again you're not answering my question."

Kouga shrugged sitting down next to Kilana, "I heard you were here and I was worried. I've come to rescue you."

The she wolf-demon frowned down at him. "Kouga, I'm doing this for the pack. If I don't stay here, Sesshomaru will kill them all. I can't take that risk."

"What? That mutt", he growled. "Why does he have this sudden interest in you?"

Ayame coughed and ran her hand down one of the curtains, "Well... ermm.."

"Because she's my mate."

Ayame 'eeped', jumping behind the curtain. Kouga stood, growling at Sesshomaru. "So you're the one who took her by force. Pathetic."

Sesshomaru glared, "That is none of your business."

"Damn right it's my business, I've made sure Ayame has been safe since she was tiny and I'm not stopping now just because you think she belongs to you after you forced her to be your mate. I'm staying here to make sure Ayame is safe from your filthy paws."

The dog-demon snarled moving towards Kouga with his fingers raised. "No!" Ayame leapt between them putting her hands against Sesshomaru's chest.

He stared down at her with an eyebrow raised. Ayame gulped, she was beginning to hate that golden stare of his. "If you hurt him, our deal is broken and I leave. He's part of my pack!"

"Then make him leave."

"Well..." Ayame turned to Kouga who gave her a stubborn look. "No. I'm staying here to protect you from him."

Ayame cursed, why does it always seem she was standing in the way of Sesshomaru's wrath? "Sess- Lord Sesshomaru, perhaps Kouga could stay somewhere else in town? At an inn perhaps?"

Sesshomaru's gaze traveled from her to Kouga, his hand dropped to his side and the apathetic look took over. "Fine. But if he touches you. I will kill him."

Ayame relaxed a little. No way was Kouga going to touch her, he couldn't stand her. "Alright."

Both Ayame and Kouga glared at Sesshomaru's back as he left and closed the door behind himself. "Ugh. I'm sick of dealing with him."

"Don't worry Ayame, we'll figure this out together. Meanwhile, I guess I'll go make camp nearby."

Ayame laughed, "Not even going to try out an inn?"

Kouga chuckled, "You and your wolves may be able to adjust to the inside lifestyle, but not me."

Ayame giggle, she still thought he was the bees knees.

*******************************

"Oh wow! What a hunk!" Mika giggled as she leaned on the window's edge.

Ayame laughed, "Now you see why I had a thing for him for so long. My friend Kagome calls it a 'crush'."

Ayame was lying, she still had a 'crush' on Kouga. But he had made it pretty clear he had no interest in her now that she was mated. "Is he seriously camped out in the garden? I heard he cooked up a rabbit out there, what a savage!"

Ayame blinked at Mika, "That's how I used to live."

"Really?"

Ayame nodded thinking to herself, 'So that's what they think of us.'

Mika shook her head with a huge smile on her face, "Everything got so much more interesting when you came around!"

Ayame grinned, "Do you want to meet him?"

"Sure!!"

The girls headed down to the garden where Kouga was laying lazily on a stone bench. "Hey!" Ayame nudged Kouga with her foot, "You call this protecting me?"

Kouga opened one eye and squinted at Ayame, "You look fine to me."

Grinning he closed his eye again. "Ugh. This is Mika, she wanted to meet you, she's a friend."

"I don't need to meet more mutts," he opened one eye again and looked at Mika.

"But..." He sat up as he looked at Mika with two eyes, "This mutt is exceptionally beautiful."

Kouga took Mika's hand with his charming smile gleaming and kissed it lightly. 'Great. He just has a thing for any race except his own.'

Mika blushed brightly and giggled, "Oh.. well, thank you."

Grabbing Mika's arm, Ayame says, "Well, bye Kouga, we have work to do!"

Kouga winked at Mika as Ayame dragged her away, Ayame was sure Mika almost fainted. 'Seriously Kouga? Keep it in your pants.'

***********************

*Knock*Knock*Knock*

Ayame rolled over in her bed and put her pillow over her head grumbling, "Don't people know that I sleep??"

*Knock*Knock*Knock*

"Ayame! It's me!" Someone whispered through the door.

"Uuuuuuggggghhhh!!!" Ayame rolled out of bed and opened the door.

"Ayame! Took you long enou--" Kouga was cut off with a mouthful of pillow.

"Go. Away. I'm sleeping."

"But Ayame! I need to talk to you!"

"Why can't you wait until morning. When I'm not sleeping."

"Because I need to talk to you now!"

Ayame stepped aside to let Kouga in, then nailed him in the back of the head with her pillow. "Oooff! Stop!"

"No." She hit him again in the chest.

Growling in the back of his throat, Kouga pounced, tackling her to the ground. Laughing, Ayame shoved the pillow in his face, "This is what you get for waking me up!!"

Kouga rolled away from her and the wrath of pillow and laid there on the floor, Ayame followed suit. After awhile Kouga spoke, "Ayame... I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise. I should have know that my feelings for Kagome weren't real."

Ayame snorted, "You're just saying that now because I'm unavailable."

Kouga rolled to his side and set his head up on his hand. "Are you really unavailable? Have you even completed the mating process with him? He keeps you here as a slave!"

Glaring at the ceiling Ayame snapped back, "Of course I haven't finished the deed with him, I hate him!"

Kouga looked at her quietly for a moment then said so softly, Ayame almost couldn't hear him. "I was wrong, Ayame. I... think... I have feelings for you now."

Ayame whipped her head towards Kouga, "What!?! After all I went thr-"

Kouga's lips came smashing down against hers. She gasped, opening her mouth to let in Kouga's forceful tongue that plunged and flicked. Ayame arched her back, placing her hand on Kouga's neck, pulling him deeper into the kiss. Ayame's mind was going in circles, she'd been waiting for this moment her whole life. But it felt wrong, so wrong. Worse then Takumi's kiss. She turned her head to the side, the stupid mark was messing everything up for her. But she wasn't a whore, and the mark would only tell her that she was if she went through with this. "Ayame?"

Kouga looked down at her with a confused expression. "I thought you wanted this, Ayame."

Sitting up Ayame rubbed the mark on her neck. "So did I... I just don't think I feel the same way for you anymore. I think.... I'm stuck with Sesshomaru."

Kouga stared at her blankly, "How could you settle for that bastard??"

"I'm marked, I can't help it. It controls all my emotions now days. I'm sorry Kouga but this can never happen."

Kouga got to his feet, his fists clenched. "Fine, if that's your choice. Just know. If you change your mind, I'll be in the garden."

With that he stormed out, Kouga never had the best temper. Shaking her head Ayame laid back down, she felt her mark hum with approval. 'Stop acting so satisfied. If Kouga can't have me because of you, no one can. Not even 'Lord' Sesshomaru.'

********************************

On her way out to her morning meeting with Sesshomaru, Ayame almost collided with one of her maids carrying a huge decorated vase with at least 100 iris' in it. Ayame stared at it with her mouth open. "What is this?"

"My Lady," the maid gasped for breath. "This is a gift for you."

Ayame watched as the maid heaved the huge vase on a little table in her room. The poor table buckled from all the weight and looked to be about to break. "From whom?"

The maid stood there trying to catch her breath, "I have no idea. A strange man came to the gates and said it was from a secret admirer."

Ayame clenched her fist, "Kouga...ugh!"

After making sure the maid wasn't going to die of a heart attack she continued on her way to her meeting with Sesshomaru. "If he finds out about my gift from a 'secret admirer' I am soooo screwed..." Ayame muttered.

"Stupid Kouga," she muttered before knocking sharply on Sesshomaru's door.

"Yes."

Ayame walked in and sat down. Her meetings with Sesshomaru were normally quick and painless, but she still hated going to them. "When can I stop knocking, Lord Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru didn't glance up from his paperwork. "When you are the Lady of this Palace."

"I thought I was."

"You're the palace keeper."

Ayame rolled her eyes. "Right."

"When are the new maids starting?" Sesshomaru asked, still not looking up from his paperwork.

Ayame wondered if he'd noticed she'd been kissed by Kouga. "Next week."

"Will you be training them personally?"

Seriously, there was no way he could know, right? "Nope, Mika is."

"Train them yourself. I don't pay you nothing for nothing. Do your job correctly."

"But that's n-"

"That is all. Palace. Keeper. You may leave."

Ayame huffed, 'Insufferable male.'

"Yesss, your Lordship."

"Lord Sesshomaru will do. Good-bye."

Ayame smartly curtsied and left. Short meeting as always. Ayame was enraged leaving, as always. Thankfully Satoru always had a full plate of food waiting for her that always cheered her up instantly. As she walked down the hall towards the kitchen she heard a groan.

A sexual groan.

Ayame grinned devilishly. 'How intriguing, someone else doing dirty work besides herself.'

Quietly she snuck around the corner and took a peak. The couple was behind a statue, and Ayame could see the female was on her knees while the male was probably standing. Ayame recognized the kimono the girl had on was the maid uniform Ayame and Mika had recently assigned all the maids. 'Well isn't this just juicy, I get to yell at someone today!'

Ayame cracked her knuckles with joy as she snuck closer, ready to scare the living daylight out of the couple. Ayame still couldn't see the guy, he was completely covered by the statue. "I wonder if it's Jaken. Who else would get down and dirty with him except for the paid help?'

Ayame snickered. Cock blocking that little green shit would be so fulfilling... Ayame was almost close enough to see the guy when he groaned out the maids name. "Ohh, Miikaa... deeeper."

'Mika?' Ayame stopped with eyes wide. 'Please tell me Mika isn't giving Jaken a blow job...'

Ayame gagged silently as she leaned far enough to see the guy, who was thankfully not green. But a guard who had pointed her in the direction of Sesshomaru's office the first day she had been here. Ayame shrugged, 'Not bad.'

Silently she slipped away. Sneaking around the palace was so much easier than sneaking in the forest. No pesky twigs. Grinning, Ayame continued on her way down to the kitchen. Today was already looking pretty interesting.

"Hey Satoru!" Ayame called into the kitchen clouded with steam.

"Plates on the table Ayame!" Satoru called back.

Ayame smiled as she sat down. Satoru always gave her extra dumplings because that was her favorite. Satoru was like a mother and father combined with his wise advice and amazing cooking. She was almost done with her plate when Mika walked in. Smirking, Ayame asked, "Enjoy your breakfast?"

Mika gave her a quizzical look, "What? I haven't eaten yet."

Ayame shrugged, "Well... it sure looked like you were getting your own special meal back there in the hall."

Mika's face instantly turned beet red. "Oh.. you saw that."

Ayame nodded with a huge grin. "Is he your mate?"

Mika laughed, "Him? Noo. He's just..." She sat down at the table, "...a fling."

"Oh." Ayame took another bite of her food.

"You should save those kinds of things for your mate, Mika."

Satoru came out of the cloud of steam and put a plate in front of Mika. She looked up at him frowning, apparently she didn't know how nosey the cook was. "Well Satoru. Not to be rude, but not everyone can have a great love like yours..." Ayame butted in.

Satoru shook his head sadly. "I know this, Ayame. But I still think she should save herself for her mate."

Ayame knew that Satoru was talking about Mika, but his eyes were directly on the wolf-demon, piercing her all the way through with his lecture. "Right..." Ayame replied.

***********************************

Weeks passed by and Sesshomaru and Ayame continued their daily meetings. They were always quick, curt and torturing. It was a daily reminder that this was the rest of Ayame's sad life with her mate that she didn't love. So when Kouga asked if she wanted to sneak out and go running for a little while with their wolves. She almost jumped his bones.

They had stopped by a river for a rest and the wolves laid sprawled out around on the ground, it had been a long time since they had been running. The palace life was unhealthy for them all. "So Ayame... I just want to let you know I understand that you can't accept anything between us other than friendship."

Ayame sat up from drinking from the river, "Oh? Why the sudden acceptance?"

Shrugging, he stated simply, "Things changed, I guess." "Alright then... so what was with the huge vase of flowers?"

"Flowers? What flowers?"

"The huge vase of iris's, from a secret admirer, that wasn't you??"

"Nope."

"Oh."

Ayame sat next to Kuito and petted him. "I did want to ask you something else though, Kouga."

"Hmm?"

"Since Kilana is pregnant with one of your wolves pups. I wondered if you planned to add some of the pups to your pack."

"Oh, no. I have plenty of wolves in my pack, and I have Hakkaku and Ginta. They are a handful as is."

Ayame giggled, "They're sweet."

Kouga rolled his eyes. "Yes. Sweet..."

"Besides. Pups belong with their mother. And you need all the wolves you can get around you in that Dog-Demon infested place."

Ayame laughed and stood. "Lets head back. It's getting dark and I don't like to leave Kilana alone for long. She's due very soon."

Kouga smiled and stood as well, brushing himself off. "Ayame. If you ever want to run away, we can always move the pack. You don't have to stay here forever with a mate you hate."

"No... I wouldn't ask them to do that. Besides. It's not so bad here, everyone else is wonderful besides for Sesshomaru."

Kouga shook his head as they entered the gates, the guards didn't even ask where they had been, or how they had gotten out. 'Silly guards', Ayame thought.

"Do you mind if we go see Kilana, Raiden here wants to see her." Kouga asked as he gestured to the wolf that fathered Kilana's pups.

"Sure! I'm sure she'll be thrilled!"

They made their way through the halls and passed by the statue where Mika and the guard had hidden. Ayame giggled to herself and Kouga looked at her curiously. "What?"

"Oh! Funny story! I caught Mika giving a guard a blow job here a few weeks ago! I've made fun of her so much." Ayame grinned as she looked at Kouga.

Only Kouga didn't seem to think it was very funny. "She what? How long has this been going on??"

Ayame frowned, "Ehh... I don't know. It's a fling. I didn't really ask details. What's the big deal?"

"Ayame. Mika and I... we're planning on becoming mates."

"Oh... shit.."

Kouga's hands went into fists, "I cannot believe her. I knew I shouldn't have trusted a dog-demon! Can you believe she told me she was a virgin!?!" He snorted, "That bitch."

Kouga's knuckles began to turn white, "You can't trust any of them, Ayame. Not even Sesshomaru. We need to leave, now."

"Kouga, no! Come on! Calm down. I'm sorry Mika did this, but this has nothing to do with Sesshomaru!!"

Kouga shook his head grabbing Ayame's wrist. "Ayame. I'm taking you with me. You can't trust him or his slut maids."

Kouga yanked her towards the stairs, Ayame's wolves looked confused and didn't know if they should attack Kouga or not. "Stop! He'll kill the pack if I leave! LET GO KOUGA!"

"NO! I will not leave you here WITH THESE MANGY MUTTS!!!" Kouga yelled at her as he pulled her down the stairs.

"Kouga? Ayame? What's going on?" Mika asked from where she stood at the bottom of the stairs.

"You slut, don't you dare talk to me after your mouth has spat out disgusting lies!"

Mika blinked. "Kouga... What? What are you talking about?!"

Kouga roared as he reached the bottom of the stairs with Ayame. "Stop speaking bitch!"

Without even blinking he withdrew his sword and sliced Mika right across the throat. "NOOO!" Ayame screamed as Mika fell to the floor, her throat squirting blood.

"Kouga what have you done?!?!" Ayame cried out as she stared at Mika's body on the floor.

Kouga growled as he dragged her out the door. The commotion Kouga was making had attracted a lot of attention, from guards, maids and Sesshomaru who watched coldly from the balcony. "Leave Ayame or you will be killed."

Kouga laughed, almost crazy like. "No! Mutt!"

Ayame screamed as she watched Sesshomaru raise his two fingers, and whipped them towards Kouga. The glowing green-yellow whip slashed out at Kouga. Ayame felt her stomach drop as she realized she was about to lose too friends in the span of five minutes. Why did she leave her sword in her room? At the last minute Raiden flew out in front of Kouga, taking the full blow of the whip. Yelping the wolf fell to the ground. He was dead before he hit the floor.

Sesshomaru raised his hand, ready to hit again. Kouga let go of Ayame and fell to his knees, pulling his faithful wolf close to him. "No.. Raiden.. No. You have pups on the way... not now!"

Gathering up his now dead companion, Kouga turned and ran. "Let him leave." Sesshomaru told the guards.

Ayame watched Kouga's retreating form with tears in her eyes. Not only had she just lost her best friend, Kilana's pups had lost their father. "Kuito, Kavati follow after him."

Her wolves howled and ran after the wolf-demon. Ayame stared up at Sesshomaru who stared back. If her tears bothered him, he didn't show it.
