Chapter 4

"You seriously think that will work?" Miroku asked, very unsurprised at the hair-brained scheme of a plan.

"Yes, yes I do."

"So then what's going to happen if something changes. Like what if, say, Inuyasha gets in a car accident? Then what are you going to do?"

"It depends. How bad are the injuries? Will they heal or are they permanent damage?"

"You didn't really just ask me that did you?" Miroku glared at her, his eye twitching.

"Yes."

"Ayame, I think you should leave. I really need to get back to work."

"Fine, if you really don't want me here, then I will," she said as she forced fake tears to brim in her eyes.

"Well bye then!" Miroku said, turning around and facing his computer.

"Goodbye!" She said and stormed out the office building. She got in her car and drove home. When she got there, she found Koga making a sad attempt at cooking.

"What are you doing to my kitchen?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Trying to cook. I'm starving!" As if on cue, his stomach rumbled. Ayame took the spatula that was covered in a very suspicious looking multicolored substance and threw it in the sink, along with the matching pan. She bustled around the kitchen collecting food and seasonings. As she started to cook, she thought of telling him of some other ideas that she could add to her scheme.

"So then, I cou-"

"Ayame, I think you need to stop." Koga said, successfully cutting her off. Ayame just gave him a confused look.

"Stop what?" she asked as her head tilted to the right, some strands of her firey red hair falling around her shoulders.

"Stop trying to plan their relationship. If its meant to happen, then it will."

"Are trying to tell me what to do? You think you can control me? I don't need to listen to this!" she said as she put the ingrediants on the counter and stormed out of the kitchen. Koga followed her into the living room.

"Ayame, I'm not trying to control you. I'm just telling you that I think what you're trying to do is wrong."

"I think it's right and that they need this."

"Ayame, did someone set us up to get married? Did someone plan it all out?"

"No. But Inuyasha and Kagome need this!…. Well mostly Inuyasha. He's not much of a romantic."

"That is true, but I still think it's wrong." Ayame had walked to the entryway and started pulling on her coat. "Ayame, where are you going?"

"Out. I don't need to here this."

"Ayame you're over-reacting!"

"Don't yell at me!" as she said this, her face began to grow red from anger. She turned and stormed out the front door to her car. She got in and turned the key. The engine sputtered and then stopped. She turned the key again, but the car wouldn't start. She got out and looked to see Koga walking toward her across the front lawn. She stormed off into the street.

"Ayame! Please come back here! We can talk this out!" he called across the yard. Ayame stood in the middle of the street and turned around, about to shout back, when she heard a loud horn honking at her. She turned in time to see a Dodge pickup coming straight at her. Her emerald eyes reflected the fear she felt and the pain she knew she would feel.

Then the truck smashed into her.

Authors Note: Its been while but I got it done…well most of it. Its not as long as I would have liked it to be but it'll have to do. Hope you enjoyed it!
