InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Makai ❯ Enter Ayame ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter Two: Enter Ayame

 

 

It had been three weeks since Makai had woken up in this strange land. She had been helping Inuyasha, Kagome, and the gang hunt down Naraku and his minions in order to get the sacred jewel shards back. So far, they hadn't had much luck. Naraku seemed to have disappeared. The gang had decided to stop in order to rest.

 

“Kagome, Sango, how about we girls go take a bath in the hot spring. I need a good soak after today.”

 

The girls gathered there bathing supplies and headed for the hot spring. Makai had some very important things to discuss with both Kagome and Sango. She had known, before she'd arrived there, of Kagome and Sango's feelings for Inuyasha and Miroku, and she wanted to talk to them about a way to “seduce” the men. As they gathered in the hot spring, Makai prepared to speak to Kagome and Sango.

 

“So, I've noticed the way you two have been looking at Inuyasha and Miroku, and I've decided to help you `get you man' so to speak.”

 

Kagome and Sango glanced wearily at one another before turning their gazes to Makai, interested despite their common sense.

 

“Sango, Miroku loves you very much. All you really need to do is get him alone and confess your feelings to him. Kagome, you're a little tougher. Inuyasha cares very much for, maybe even loves you, but he feels very guilty about what happened to Kikyo. So, in order for you to truly be with him, he will have to come to terms with his feelings and make a choice. That choice will present itself very soon.”

 

“How do you know all this stuff, Makai,” Kagome asked.

 

“Well, you know about the whole `magic' thing. Along with that, I can see the future. Kikyo is going to try to kill you soon, Kagome, in order to prevent Inuyasha from being happy. She feels that he should suffer since she had to suffer. It will be up to Inuyasha whether you live or die. All you need to do in the coming few weeks is show Inuyasha how much you care for him and his happiness. He will make the right choice. I am sure of it.”

 

The girls talked for a little longer about what Makai had said, and then they finished their bath and headed back to camp, each girl lost in her own thoughts. Meanwhile, a few miles from camp, a certain wolf princess was having her own problems. Her pack was steadily losing ground, so Ayame had set out to join Inuyasha to rid the world of Naraku. She headed toward their sent, hoping to catch up with them today.

 

Fifteen minutes later, Ayame entered Inuyasha's camp. Kagome and Sango were surprised by the wolf princess's arrival, but Makai seemed to be expecting her. Everyone invited Ayame to sit and eat with them.

 

“Thank you for letting me join you. Ever since my pack has started experiencing problems with Naraku and his incarnations, I've been looking for help. Kouga moves too often for me to catch up with him. That's why I decided to look for you guys.”

 

The group talked for a few more hours before they decided to pack it in for the night. Makai produced an extra sleeping bag for Ayame and everyone, save Inuyasha, went to sleep. Inuyasha silently regarded the group laid out before him, wondering how things had changed so quickly. First, they had found Makai, and now Ayame had joined them. He didn't quite know what to make of the changes. All he knew was that he hoped they found and destroyed Naraku soon. He was causing too much havoc for Inuyasha's liking.
