Chapter 1

A New Beginning

It was a clear day, a week after the incident with Kikyo dying and all, but Kikyo was not totally dead, remember, she had been already dead. Ayame and Kouga were arguing about why Kouga didn't love her.

" Why did you break your promise to me, Kouga?" Ayame said, her eyes filling with tears." I love Kagome now, why can't you accept that?" He replied. "BUT YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULD MARRY ME!!! I LOVED YOU!!!!!" Ayame cried, tears running down her cheeks. "Well who would want to marry an ugly WENCH like YOU anyway?!!!" This made Ayame very mad. She screamed at him, "KOUGA!! I HATE YOU! I HOPE YOU DIE WITH THE REST OF THE WOLF TRIBE BY KOGURA'S HANDS!!!" And with that she stormed off. She ran and ran, her emotions got to her. Everything seemed a blur. She stopped running and dropped to her knees sobbing. "I can't do this to myself," she thought "I've gotta keep strong, besides, Kouga isn't worth it." She walked on trying to keep her mind off Kouga, but she couldn't. All she could keep thinking about was Kouga. All she pictured in her mind was he and Kagome kissing. Tears filled her eyes again, her bottom lip trembling. She kept flashing back to that moment when Kouga asked Kagome to be his mate, then, she remembered…

She felt an arm slip around her shoulders. She looked up and saw Inuyasha …

That's when it clicked in her mind. She liked Inuyasha! Both of them had been through the same thing the other had, objection and betrayal. She felt a sudden love for Inuyasha, and still felt that arm slip around her shoulders and looked up at that handsome face, she now knew she had a new love and a new beginning…
