AN/Before You Read: I made Miroku a demon for this story. Also as a fair warning, the style for chapter one differs from the rest of the chapters. It's also the shortest. This is laying down the foundation, if you will. Okay, you may read now. :)

Disclaimer: Nope. Don't own Inuyasha. At all.

A sharp elbow hitting his arm grabbed his attention.

"What the hell man." Koga grumbled.

A dark haired demon looked him over, amusement in his reddish brown eyes. "Your staring again man."

"Pft. I was not."

His friend shook his head. "You've got it bad."

Koga looked at him. "Shut up."

He turned back to the small fox demon, a certain part of him stirring to life as he watched the younger boy jog around the track, his tail bobbing lazily behind him.

The wolf demon was once again pulled from the enticing sight as he heard his coach's voice call for their attention. "All right boys. Start with your warm up."

Koga jogged to join the rest of his teammates.

...

"He was looking at you."

Shippo turned to the dark haired youkai that ran alongside him. "Shut up. He was not."

His friend sighed. "He likes you Shippo. Anybody with eyes can see that."

The small fox shook his head. "I doubt it. If he was looking at anybody, it would be you. Not me."

His statement was met by a snort. "Yeah right. Mr. Wolfe has his eyes on you my friend. Your to scared to face the truth. It terrifies you he might actually like you like you like him." He sang knowingly. "Besides, I have my sights on something else at the moment."

Shippo rolled his eyes, knowing exactly what that something else was. "I'm surprised you haven't gotten on that yet." he told him.

"I'm waiting on you and Koga to get together so you can introduce us. That's when I'll slide in."

"You are something else Miroku. I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. Besides, you don't need any introductions. You do just fine on your own."

"Are you calling me a ho?" Miroku asked in mock offense.

"If the shoes fits. . ." he trailed off with a laugh.

A light yank on his tail made him yelp in surprise. He turned his green eyes onto the grinning boy. "Your mean."

Miroku shrugged.

Koga walked into the locker room, heading straight for his locker like the rest of the boys.

He stripped out of his sweaty practice gear, throwing it in his gym bag to be washed later. He grabbed the white towel he placed on the bench and wrapped it around his waist. He threw his stuff back into the locker before joining some of his teammates in the showers.

He grabbed a spot at one of the empty stalls and turned the water on, adjusting it to his liking. He turned at the sound of the shower head besides his own turning on.

"Sup man." he greeted.

"Sup." was the reply.

He turned his attentions back to washing himself but spoke to the silver haired demon beside him. "We still going out to eat later?"

A grunt met his ears. "Don't know. Inuyasha is mad at me right now, so I doubt it."

He dunked his head under the spray. "What'd you do Sesshomaru?"

"Why'd I have to do something?"

Koga shrugged. "Okay. What's he mad at?"

"He saw something Rin sent me. Started going off. Now he thinks I'm talking to my ex."

The wolf paused. "Are you?"

"Tch. Hell no. Me and Rin will never get back together. I'm not losing Inuyasha because she can't let go."

"Damn man. Must've been some heavy shit."

"She knows I'm with Inuyasha. She did that on purpose. She wanted him to see those pictures."

Koga whistled. "Crazy."

"I'll text you if we do decide to meet with y'all. I'm giving him his space right now."

"You've gotta do something about Rin man." he told him.

"You wanna take her off my hands?" the demon asked him.

Koga laughed at that. "Nah. I'm good. I've got my eye on something else right now."

"Heh." the silver haired boy let out a laugh. "I forgot about that. Naraku told me. You should've said something. I would have told Inuyasha to put in a good word for you."

Koga shook his head. "I've got this one man." He turned off the water, grabbing his towel. "Let me know what's up."

"Alright. See ya."

Koga nodded his way before heading back to his locker.

Shippo walked off the school ground's, heading home alone after practice. A vibration in his pocket had him taking out his phone.

He answered it. "Hey Yasha."

"Hey Shippo. You still at the track?"

"No. I just started walking home actually. I didn't see you in the bleachers when I came back out so you could walk with me."

"Sorry. I had to get away from Sesshomaru. Did you see Rin anywhere after I left? You didn't see her around Sesshomaru did you?"

"Rin?" he asked. "As in your boyfriend's ex Rin?"

"Yeah." the hanyou replied.

"No. I didn't see her today. Why? What's going on?"

"The bitch sent him some nudes during his practice. I had his phone."

Shippo's eyes widened. "Damn. Is he still messing around with her? I thought they were through."

"He said they were but I don't know. Why would she just send him nudes randomly? We've been together almost a year now. Why would she wait this long?"

The fox shook his head. "I don't know. Sesshomaru doesn't strike me as the type to stick around with someone he doesn't wanna be with. Make sure you have all the facts before making any rash decisions Inuyasha."

"Oh. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. If she thinks I'm gonna sit back and watch her try to creep back in then she picked the wrong one to try."

Shippo laughed. "You are crazy. Anyway, we still going out right?"

"I don't know." Inuyasha sighed. "Me and Sesshomaru kinda got into it so it's iffy. I'll have to hit you back on that one."

"Alright."

"I gotta call Miroku. I'll hit you later Shippo."

"Kay. Bye."

Shippo hung up, slipping in his earbuds. He hoped they went out tonight. He had been looking forward to seeing Koga. It would be the first time they all sat together as friends. The fox couldn't think of any other way to get close to him without a good reason. He'd never admit it to Miroku, but he hoped the wolf had been looking at him. He'd certainly been sending looks of his own when he could get away with it. The wolf was sexy as hell. He'd have to remember to ask Inuyasha about the situation between Koga and his ex, Ayame. He wasn't going to put himself out there to be used and discarded later. If Koga was interested in him like Miroku seemed to think he was, he'd have to be sure Ayame was out of the picture for good.
