Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of it's characters. BUT, I do own my little fanfiction plot line right here. ;D I do not own MSN messenger. But I will someday. D: Maybe. Ugh. A girl can dream. Well, anyway onward to the story.

'The start of something great'

The hiss of the soda can made me relax into the couch instantly. Yura and Sango were talking animatedly about something. Kagome was making room upstairs in her closet and dress for my clothes. I dug into my messenger bag and pulled my laptop out and loaded it on. Once it was loaded up I opened the MSN messenger and signed in. To my surprise Koga was on. Now I know I should have been a little more calm or ladylike but my temper spiked, and I couldn't help but yell at him, in text format.

Conversation with Koga_Rae.

AyameAnn: Oh look who it is. I'm surprised you didn't block me.

Koga Rae: Uhm. Heyyy, Ayame…. What's up?

AyameAnn: Oh nothing. Just attempting to contemplate why on earth you kissed me.

Koga Rae: Maybe it's because I like you. And I have liked you since we were little.

AyameAnn: Wow Koga, thanks for mocking me. You already got back at me for talking back to you by kissing me. You don't need to take it this far. ;

Koga Rae: You think I'm lying?

AyameAnn: I don't think it, I know it, but whatever Koga I have things to do and I have to go. Bye.

AyameAnn signed off at 12:47 PM.

I sighed and shut my computer, setting it down. I glanced around the room and noticed that I was alone.

'Where did they go?' I thought. I then heard the giggling from upstairs. I jumped to my feet and jogged up to Kagome's room. Opening the door, I burst out laughing, there Kagome was prancing around like a model dressed in a leopard mini skirt, a pink feather boa, a bright yellow shirt, and fuzzy stockings. I fell over in the doorway laughing. "What on Earth are you wearing?" I choked out. Kagome just spun in circles. Yura laughed and put a pair of shorts on her head. I laughed and looked at the half empty closet. "Nice job. I'll be right back." I ran down stairs and into the backyard, grabbing my forgotten duffel bag. I ran back into the house, lugging it up the stairs back into her room. I dropped it by the closet and got to work zipping it open.

The first item on top was my photo album, with red and black lace around the edges. I threw it on Kagome's bed.

Sango picked it up.

"Is this the same photo album we started putting together with Gramps, when we were five?" she asked sadly, turning the album in different directions just staring at it. Sango had loved my Grandfather like he was her own and he treated her as a granddaughter. I sighed painfully suppressing the want to cry.

"Yeah, I hid it in the box spring of my bed so my mom couldn't find it and burn it with everything else that reminded her of him and dad. I hid my camera with it." A tear slid its way down my cheek with the mention of my father. I quickly wiped it away and grabbed my digital camera tossing it on the bed too. "You can look at it if you want. It's finished. "I added knowing the question was in her mind.

"Okay. Thanks." Sango said as she carefully opened the album as if she was scared it would crumble to pieces or poof in a puff of smoke. She smiled a sad smile looking at the first picture of the two of us, grinning, covered in cake from a cake war Gramps had started. "Your mom was so pissed when she saw us. Saying that she'd never be able to get the icing stains out. Gramps just laughed and told her to take a chill pill, and that it wasn't like we liked the dresses anyway." Sango said reminiscing. I laughed.

"That just made it worse, my dad had to make her sit down, and give her a neck rub. I remember when I went to throw cake at you and it hit Miroku instead, and I somehow managed to punch Koga in the face with the same swing. Gramps was laughing so hard I swear he shot water out his nose." I smiled towards the end. "Kami, I miss them." I went back to unpacking.
"Koga and Miroku? Jesus, Ayame how hard are you falling for Koga? We just saw them" Kagome said trying to lighten up the mood. It worked. I was blushing a nice tomato red color.

"I am not falling for Koga. You know I was just talking to him on IM and he had the nerve to tell me he's liked me since we were little. Can he stop being a dick, now? I mean he got me back already. He doesn't need to toy with my heart too." I said accusingly, glaring at my clothes. I could tell Kagome was contemplating whether or not she wanted to say something, and whether or not I would jump down her throat if she did say that something. I sighed, "Kagome, just say what you want to say. I promise I'll behave." I said, grabbing half the clothes which were on hangers and hung them in the closest.

Only when I sat back down did she say anything. "I think he's telling the truth. Actually, I'm quite sure of it." She stated hesitatingly.

I blinked a couple of times, I had expected her to say something near that but not around those lines. My reply was completely and utterly sarcastic, "And what makes you so sure?" I looked at her waiting for her reply.

She looked me in the eye, with a small smile. "The way he looks at you, when you're not going to catch him doing it. You know, you should pay more attention to your surroundings, he does it quite often." Kagome stated matter-of-factly.

My eyes widened. "I pay attention to my surroundings just fine thank you very much." I said rather loudly. I started grumbling then, "Stupidinconsideratedreamyloveofmylifeboy, does not look at me when I'm not paying attention. Because when I'm not paying attention I'm looking at him. I would know if he was." Sango laughed understanding every word I said. I glared at her. Yura looked kind of confused. And Kagome, well, wait. "Where the fuck did she go?" I asked looking around.

Yura looked at her nails boredly. "To call Koga, and probably tell him to come over." She said in a dull tone.

I don't know if it was my eyes or Yura's tone but Sango was having a field day of laughter.

"If she does, she better sleep with one eye open tonight." I said anger seeping it's way into my body.

Kagome's laugh at the doorway surprised me. "I would surely hope not, considering we all have dates. Ayame, please play nice with Koga tonight. You've damaged his ego twice already." She said with a smile.

I gave her a disbelieving look. "You didn't."

She smiled. "Oh, I did. Hey, this is just a suggestion but you should wear that black mini, a green tee and some converse. A very cute comfortable look." She said glancing at my duffel bag. The skirt was on top and the shoes were by it. I had already hung up my favorite go green tee-shirt.

"Whatever." I grabbed my combat boots in defiance. "I'm wearing these instead."

Yura had to speak up then, "Even better, that's going to look totally sexy."

Sango laughed and added, "She's only wearing them in spite of Kagome, and the fact that Koga is quite a few inches taller than her must annoy her to no end, the combat boots give her some height."

I glared at Sango for her betrayal."Back stabber. And while the enemy is in the room, how rude." I said as I marched out into the bathroom with my clothes, and hair/makeup bag. Sango, Kagome, and Yura's laughs were loud enough for me to hear through the door. I froze mid shirt removal, remembering about the little fact of having to talk to Kagome's mom still.

"Kagome!" I yelled sticking my head out the door, "What about your mom?"

Kagome looked at me dumbfounded, "What about her?"

I sighed. "I still have to talk to her, idiot."

"Oh, Just talk to her when we get home, she'll still be awake." Kagome said reassuringly.

Sango grinned and added, "Especially since Kagome's going to be out with Inuyasha." I laughed as Kagome threw a pillow at Sango, and shut the bathroom door. I grimaced at the scar on my side. I hissed in pain when I roughly took off my jeans forgetting about the gash in my knee. I walked out of the bathroom into Kagome's not caring that I was just in my underwear, not noticing the 14 and 15-year-old boys exiting, Souta's bedroom staring right at me. I walked over to Kagome pointing at my knee.

"I can not wear a skirt with an injury like that." I said glaring at my knee.

Kohaku decided it was time to speak up, and poked his head in the doorway, glancing at my knee. "Sure you can, I mean, someone as hot as you, I highly doubt a guy is going to be looking at your knees." Kagome's eye were the size of diner plates as she fell over from laughter. Sango and Yura started to make gagging noises.

"Has the term I see you as a baby brother ring any bells, Kohaku?" I said politely.

"Has the term I'm not your baby brother" he paused and looked me over before continuing. "so I can see you in anyway I want, ring any bells, Ayame?" He returned with smirk. I then realized blushing, almost a light purple, I was half-naked and promptly shoved him out of the doorway, shutting the door in his place. I sat against it and looked at Sango.

"What the Hell was that?" I asked my eye twitching slightly.

Sango grinned. "That was a who. Who was Kohaku."

"No shit sherlock when the fuck did you figure that out?" I asked sarcastically.

"When I saw him." She answered with a smile. I shook my head and grabbed Kagome's robe putting it on. I carefully exited the room, looking towards both ends of the hallway, I dashed across into the bathroom, where I continued to get ready for what was going to happen tonight.

A/N:

So I decided to have Kohaku make things a little awkward towards the end there.

:D

I'd personally die from embarrassment.

Or on the other hand. Kill the child responsible.

Please R&R.
