Cheated
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Marlboro, Nike, Apple, Mercedes-Benz, Chevy, or Devour, by Shinedown.
This story is a long time coming. The title is the same, the plot is the same, but the story itself is completely different. You see, I somehow lost the first four chapters of this story, and when I read chapters five through eight again, I was completely lost. So, I've decided to start from the beginning and build hopefully, a better story that everyone can love.
-Onward to the story.-
It was a crisp October night when Ayame stepped out of her apartment, clad in running gear. She locked her door before putting her keys in her pocket. Shinedown's song, Devour hummed in the head phones around her neck, her sensitive ears hearing every pitch and rumble of the bass perfectly. Her Nike's squeaked unnoticed as she jogged down the stairs. When she finally hit the concrete, she slowly walked toward the park, taking her time to soak in the fall night. The cool air felt good on her heated skin. Her entire body had been buzzing from just sitting around the house.
Ayame took a deep breath, and furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed a familiar scent, one that didn't belong, unless it was with her. It was fresh and mingled with another, she glanced around confused. No one but her relatives lived in this complex, plus side of being a wolf demon pack. She decided to follow the scent; it led to her sister's apartment.
Ayame froze, staring in the open window. "Koga." She whispered.
"Oh my god." Was all she said, repeating it over and over as she backed away and ran. She heard Koga yelling after her, and she ran faster. She ran until she reached the house her three best-friends shared.
She started bawling as soon as Kagome opened the door, and threw herself into the other girl's arms.
"Ayame! Ayame, honey, what's wrong?" Kagome questioned completely surprised.
"K-k-koga was with my-my-my sister an-and they were both in nothing b-but towels." Ayame sobbed.
"Oh sweetie, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding. Your sister wouldn't do that to you. Koga wouldn't do that to you." Kagome soothed.
"It was Anita." Ayame explained through her tears.
"Well, okay. That sister MIGHT do that to you, but Koga wouldn't. Babe, Koga loves you; you guys are getting married in a year. Are you sure you didn't just jump to conclusions?"
Ayame wiped her tears from her face and removed herself from Kagome's grip angrily. She pushed her way inside and plopped down on the couch, grabbing Kagome's Marlboro Reds off the coffee table she stole one and lit it, taking a deep inhale before explaining. "Koga's been extremely distant lately, ever since he proposed. Like today, I called him a few times and sent him a bunch of texts with absolutely no replies and then seeing that. I don't think he was really interested in me anymore. And now that we're officially engaged it's all gone downhill. He's nothing like the boy I fell in love with so long ago. Plus, he's always had a crush on Anita and seeing them together like that Kagome, it hurts beyond words can tell and I just want it to stop. " She flicked the ashes off the burning cherry.
Kagome shut the door and sat down beside Ayame, "I'm sorry, but people change over time. And if they had, had sex wouldn't you be able to tell? I mean, as a fellow wolf demon?"
"Yeah.. But I wasn't exactly close enough to smell if they had or not.." Ayame fibbed.
"Ayame, you can smell stuff from miles away. So don't try to pull that crap, did you or did you not smell sex?" Kagome demanded.
"Well, no. But that doesn't mean anything! They were both in towels! I mean why else would they be naked together?!" Ayame asked taking another drag before rubbing her forehead anxiously.
"I don't know. But it could have been something completely innocent and you just blew it out of proportion."
"But I don't trust him. God help me, I don't. Kagome, I should trust my fiancé and I don't. I don't think I ever have, deep down, I've always expected him to hurt me again. I just didn't expect it to be my sister.." Ayame confided.
"You still don't know it was your sister, love." Kagome soothed, "But I see the way you look at Koga, and the way he looks at you, and there's love there."
"I think Koga and I need to take a break, just for a little while. Until I can see the love from him that you do, or until I can trust him. But, I think that's best." Ayame said playing with her engagement ring.
Just then there was a pounding on the door, and both Ayame and Kagome jumped. "Ayame! I know you're in there, it's Koga! Come on, open the door. It wasn't what it looked like, I swear. Baby please!" Koga yelled.
Ayame looked at Kagome helplessly. Kagome got up and went to the door, cracking it slightly.
"Koga, go away. Ayame isn't here." Kagome lied.
"I know she is, don't lie to me. I can smell her. Please, Kagome let me see her." He pleaded.
Kagome looked to her friend who shook her head, "No, Koga. She doesn't want to see you right now, she's not feeling well. She'll call you when she feels better."
"But Kago-"
"Koga! Go!" Kagome yelled before slamming the door and locking it.
Ayame sighed, her long red hair cascading over her shoulders as she rested her chin on her knees, "I'm so sorry, Kagome. I know that must have been hard, with how good of friends you two are."
"Not as good as friends as we are. I'd never be able to do that to you." Kagome gave a sad smile.
Ayame's return smile was more of a grimace, then she looked around confused, "Where's Sango and Rin?"
"Rin is with Sesshomaru, and Sango is at work. So, I had the place to myself tonight." She explained.
"Oh. I'm surprised you didn't invite Inuyasha over. Or did you and I came and interrupted your plans before they could start?"
"No, you didn't. Contrary to popular belief I do like to have time to myself." Kagome said with a pout.
Ayame laughed, "I'm sorry, but I'm surprised he isn't here right now. I mean, does he even know you have the house to yourself tonight?"
"No, of course not, then I would definitely not have the house to myself." Kagome laughed and Ayame smiled.
"Ugh. I wish I had stopped at my apartment before running here, I want to get out of these clothes." Ayame complained.
"Well, Aya dearie, I do have a car.. So we could go to your place, get your stuff, and come back." Kagome suggested.
"Koga is most likely sitting outside my apartment waiting for me. And I really do not want to see him right now."
"It's power in numbers, baby, power in numbers. And if you're really worried he'll bother you, I can call Inuyasha. I mean, we both know how protective of you he is." Kagome reminded.
"Yeah. He's the big brother I never wanted but always seem to need." Ayame smiled again.
"I know. Do you want me to call him?" She asked.
Ayame shook her head. "Nahh. He'd just want to go beat Koga, and I don't need anyone to get in a fist fight over me right now. I do feel like tossing back a few shots of tequila, though."
Kagome gagged, "No thank you. Vodka is way better. Remember last time? Tequila equal bad."
Ayame pouted, "But-but-but tequila is my best-friend."
"And vodka will be after you get drunk." Kagome laughed.
"Nuh-uh. We've had this conversation, Vodka is wayyy icky, and while tequila is icky too, after like four shots, you don't care."
"And after four more you get sick."
"I do not. That was just cause I was mixing shit. I'm surprised I did get sick though, with my lineage and all."
"Alright. How about we do this: Get your stuff, call Rin and Sango, and have a girls' night in? Complete with cheesy chick flicks, popcorn, cocktails, and male bashing?"
"Sounds fun, but I don't want to steal Rin from her 'Fluffy-time', she's cranky without it. Which is scary, since she's always so giddy."
"Yeah, but if we leave her out of this, she'll kill us all." Kagome laughed.
"How 'bout you text her 'code square' and see what she says."
Kagome raised an eyebrow, "Code square?"
"Yes, code square. The four corners of a much needed girls night." Both girls started laughing.
"Alright, I'll send her that. But let's go to your place now, to get it out of the way."
The night seemed to have gotten darker when Kagome and Ayame pulled into the parking lot of the White Wolves Apartment complex.
"Well, this is eerie." Kagome stated.
"Why thank you captain Obvious," Ayame replied.
"Anytime captain Oblivious." Kagome countered. The girls chuckled as they got out of the forest green 2010 Mercedes-Benz Brabus.
Ayame glanced over at her black 1969 Chevy Impala, "Hello baby, don't worry. Momma's just gonna grab a couple things then take you with her."
Kagome chuckled, "You and that car need to get a room."
"Careful, she'll hear you and get presumptuous every time I get in her." Ayame scolded.
Kagome laughed harder, "You know how bad that sounded?"
Ayame just grinned and started walking, her grin faded when she reached the cross road in the sidewalk. She glanced toward her sister's apartment, eyes narrowed.
"What? What is it, Ayame?" Kagome asked, worried.
"That fucker went back to my sister's. That is so it, I'm done. I mean, yeah I didn't want to see him, but I was hoping to find him fucking groveling at my door trying to explain himself. But is he? Oh no, he goes back to the fucking place to make himself even more guilty. Stupid no good two-timing me with my own sister mother fu-"
As the thunder roared, Kagome shrank away from Ayame and all the floating leaves around her, "Uhm, Ayame.. You should calm down, your eyes are turning red, and mother nature is starting to agree with you.."
Ayame shook her head and blinked a few times; the storm calmed with her, "I'm sorry, V. I lost my temper, over time. It's just that he makes me so mad; I want to rip something apart."
"Well, T. It shows, trust me. And God is it scary." She replied seriously, but couldn't help but smile at their nicknames they had given each other long ago.
Ayame smiled back, a dangerous look still in her eye, "Let's get out of here before I go and rip my sister and Koga apart."
When they reached the staircase Ayame took them three at a time.
As Ayame placed the key in her lock, Kagome was half way up, "Fucking, I should have just stayed in the car."
"Noooo. You have to help me pack. I meant it when I said I was done. I'm taking all my clothes, hair supplies and Roxie. Roxie and I will stay at your place tonight and tomorrow we're going house hunting." She said fully opening the door.
"But! Koga doesn't live with you. So what's the point of moving away?" Kagome asked confused, a couple stair steps away.
"If I move away, I don't have to deal with Anita's shit, I don't have to see Koga's ugly mug hanging out with Anita's slutty shit, and I don't have to tell him where I'm going or deal with my grandfather pressuring me twenty-four-seven to forgive Koga and take him back. I'll only have to deal with Gramps, twenty-four-two or –three." Ayame explained as she turned to her white wolf pup Roxie, "Hi baby, you wanna go byebye? Yeah? Who's the most beautiful girl in the world? Roxie is! That's who!"
