A/N: WhisperingKage is the one who wrote the Omake at the end.. which is fucking hilarious.. be sure to read it XD

Steve gazed at the raven haired beauty, lounging on the couch with Wasp. The two of them idly chatting as the news played on the large flat screen television on the wall. She had joined the Avengers team less than a month ago. Just after the skrull fiasco, and that damned alien that had impersonated him had declared on national television that the world should submit to the skrull empire.

Captain America wasn't exactly on anyone's Christmas list after that incident. The only ones who understood and acknowledged that it wasn't him who had declared the Skrull's supremacy, were the Avengers team and several heroes who worked outside their ranks.

When the young asian woman had joined their team right after those events she had lashed out at him rather quickly, apparently news hadn't reached Japan that he was innocent yet, because before the team could subdue her and explain the situation to her she had him imbedded in the wall.

Of course after the situation was cleared up she apologized profusely, her cute face was red with embarrassment. The image ingrained in his mind. Damn she was cute. After what had happened though she was uneasy being around him. She still felt horrible for her actions against him, no matter how many times he told her it was alright, that all was forgiven.

Her name was Kagome Higurashi, her hero name was Captain Japan, or Nihon Go Taicho in her native tongue. And if anything it fit, she resembled Japan's culture and beliefs perfectly.. well almost perfectly, she was a bit of a feminist. She also held on to the magical side of their culture as well, while her main power was the creation and utilization of mystical barriers, she could also use various sutras to subdue her opponents.

Over the past few days since she joined the team he'd only seen them used on Tony, and his wandering hands, which was more then enough to make him want to not cross her.

Tony's hand was miraculously okay after being pinned to the floor by a large fox statue.. that had been conjured from paper.

Tony was hardly deterred from pursuing her though. Which grated on Steve's nerves, the thought of her in bed with the man was actually enough to anger him; Him, Captain America, the level headed, logical, no nonsense Captain was livid at the thought.

Which blew his mind really, he never paid much attention to members of the opposite sex, instead opting to focus on his work protecting the innocent and what not, getting angry or jealous over one was something he never did. But Kagome, one look from her and he had to find a cold shower, hide his lower half behind his shield, or what ever appropriately tall piece of furniture he could find.

Now if only he knew how to approach her, seeing as he had very little experience in this department he couldn't ask Tony for advice, given that Tony was after the woman as well. So he turned to the only other person in the mansion with experience on the matter. Hawkeye, Clint Barton.

He felt Clint's hand on his shoulder, as the other man leaned closer to speak quietly to him

"Alright, Cap'n, you have to play it cool, smooth even, which might be difficult for you," Clint instructed, knowing the Captain's rigid demeanor wouldn't get him far in wooing the asian woman, "But above anything just stay relaxed and don't let her get away, if she excuses herself for any reason offer to help her with what ever she needs to do, what ever it is."

"Right," Was Steve's only reply as he strode into the room, he felt even warmer under in his spandex uniform than usual the closer he got to the pair of gossiping women.

As he walked up behind the expensive couch they sat upon, he brought his fist up to his mouth and cleared his throat, drawing two pairs of eyes up to him.

With a slow deep breath he brought everything Clint had told him to the fore front of his mind; it was time for Captain America, to turn on the charm.

"Good afternoon, ladies," He spoke as smoothly as possible, not reacting when Janet's eyes widened in surprise at his tone of voice, while Kagome's blue orbs looked curiously up at him.

"Hey... Cap, what's up?" Janet asked slowly, looking around Steve to see Hawkeye pearing around the doorway.

Steve gave both Janet and Kagome a broad grin, his pearly whites practically shining in the light of the living room.

"I was just wondering if, Kagome here would like to get a bite to eat," Steve inquired as he leaned ever so closely to Kagome.

The woman blushed brightly before quickly standing up from her seat, "I need to go... To the bathroom!"

And Steve without with out thinking before speaking, merely remembering Hawkeye's words from before, quickly said: "Here let me come... with... you..."

Janet looked at him as if he had grown a second head upon his shoulders, and Kagome.. well she became even more red faced, before quickly marching herself out of the room.

Once she was gone Steve's mood deflated even more.

"Cap... what was all that about?" Janet spoke up now, at some point she had shrunk herself to her pixie like form and now floated in front of his face, her hands on her tiny hips.

"I was simply trying to... converse with Miss Higurashi," He replied, quickly returning to his normal speech patterns now that Kagome had left.

"Alright.. now who gave you the crummy advice?"

"That would be me," Clint spoke up, stepping into the living room a tired, defeated expression on his face, "Cap...no never mind I'm not even going to ask."

In an effort to defend himself Steve spoke up, though he was clearly blushing under his mask, "You said to try to go after her if she left, no matter what her excuse was.."

"Ooooh Steve... you should have come to me, Hawkeye hasn't had a date in months.. he's lost his edge," Janet laughed lightly patting Steve's forehead in consolation as Hawkeye sputtered retorts behind how he hadn't lost his edge, he just hadn't found the right woman.

"C'mon Cap.. lets go get a cup of coffee and I'll talk strategy with you," Janet chuckled, leading the emotionally deflated captain out of the room as she called over her shoulder, "What ever helps you sleep at night Clint."

Omake~

"Here let me come... with... you..."

The words hung in the air, awkwardly.

His cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she and Janet gazed up at him their mouths agape in shock. Already he could see the wheels turning in their heads and he didn't want them to think he was some kind of pervert!

Before he could even attempt to right his mistake a low smooth amused voice rang from the doorway. "I never knew you were into water play Cap. Kiinnnkkkyyy." He winked at the flustered man and laughed as he entered the room. Tossing an arm around the larger males shoulders.

"You better watch out Kagome, never know what a kinky man like him will pull." He winked at the flushed young woman. Loving the shade of red her cheeks turned, her deep blue eyes were glazed over in shock as she gaped up at them.

She looked delicious and he would love to sink his teeth into her.

Kagome merely blinked and then blinked some more. She knew Stark was no doubt baiting the other man. They had some kind of rivalry thing going on between them. With a sigh she stood up shaking her head and held her hand up to silence both of them.

"I'm not even going to go there with you two." With that she left the room before she could be pulled into their little tifft. She hated being stuck in the middle of two people it always left a bad taste in her mouth.

Steve merely looked after her, looking much like a kicked puppy and shot Tony a glare as he shrugged the other man's arm off of him.

"Thank, Tony." The sarcasm was easy to detect.

Tony merely grinned as he shoved his hands in his pockets shooting the Cap a self assured if not smart ass grin.

"No prob Cap." He wanted to punch the man in the face and it took a lot to get him to that point. Then again thanks to the cocky jerk Kagome no doubt thought he was some kind of sick pervert!
