Arrest my heart
Girls Night!
Kagome struggled against her captor, trying to disengage their hold on her, but the arms held strong. In the struggle however Kagome noticed that the hand gripped on her mouth had loosened enough for her to open it up and bite down hard. Her captor released her, the strong arms falling away, and Kagome heard a painful yelp.
"Ow, Kagome why did you do that," came a familiar, slightly feminine voice.
Kagome whirled around on her neighbor Kouga, "Kouga, what are you doing here, you scared me to death."
Kouga didn't seem to be paying attention, instead he held his injured hand to his chest and walked into the kitchen, flipping on the light above the sink, he studied his hand, "Jeesh, Kagome, you drew blood. Luckily I'm a demon so I should heal, but you better hope you don't have some sort of human rabies."
Kagome stormed over to his side, "Kouga, I swear I should just shoot you, how did you get into my apartment?"
Kouga shrugged slightly, "I used the spare key in your mailbox, and you know that is not a very safe place to put it, you're lucky it was me and not some deranged person."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Oh yeah, because a deranged person isn't a wolf demon who sneaks into a woman's apartment to scare her to death. Which now makes me realize it isn't the best place because I now have that same Wolf demon in my kitchen crying over a surface wound."
"Goodness, Kagome, what got your panties all in a bunch?" Kouga replied wrapping a towel around his hand and walking into the living room to sit himself down on the sofa.
Kagome followed him, flicking on the lights, "I've had a bad day ok, and you haven't made it any better sneaking into my apartment like this."
Kouga studied her face for a moment, "Can't a friend surprise you?"
"Yeah, if the surprise doesn't involve making my heart stop in my chest," Kagome said crossing her arms.
"God, Kagome, I'm sorry I just wanted to show you the new outfit I bought and since you are being so mean and only thinking of yourself, I won't give you the present I bought you," Kouga said taking out a black jewelry box and waving it around.
Kagome smiled, it was so like Kouga to buy her something, she reluctantly held out her hand, "Alright, I'm sorry I chewed you out."
Kouga shook his head, "Nope, that's not good enough; you didn't even mention my attire. Shame on you Kagome Higurashi, wait until I tell your mother about your lack of manners."
Kagome stepped back and waved her hand in indication for Kouga to show her, he stood, setting the box down and slowly turned around. Kagome's took in Kouga's appearance from head to toe. Instead of his usual frilly shirts and slacks, Kouga was dressed in a tailored made black suit with a magenta button up shirt. His hair was freshly cut and trimmed, and he looked like he stepped out of a men's magazine.
Kagome whistled for effect, "You look great, what's the occasion?"
Kouga grinned, "Well, I went down to that new store today, you know the one I was telling you about, just looking around you know and the most handsome man approached me and asked if I needed any assistance. Of course I couldn't stop myself from flirting with him and he was so tasty I had to let him believe he was helping me. Anyway, he was telling me about this party where all these rich people are going to be at and asked me to attend. So I let him talk me into getting this suit, don't you think it looks fabulous, especially for a first date?"
Through out the story Kagome had gone into the kitchen to make some tea. Now with mugs in hand she walked back to the front room and beamed at Kouga, "You look amazing Kouga, I hope it works out for you."
Kouga clasped his hands together happily, "It should, if not I guess I could always come down to your work and try my tricks on that luscious Inuyasha," he sighed, "That man makes my mouth water."
Kagome was in the middle of taking a drink when Kouga had said that and it caused her to choke and sputter Kouga reached over and patted her on her back, "Are you alright?"
Kagome nodded, she wasn't about to admit to kouga that she had imagined Inuyasha's reaction were Kouga to actually approach him with his opinion. When she was able to catch her breath she replied, "Yes, I'm fine, the tea went down the wrong pipe."
Kouga scolded her in a motherly tone,"You should be more careful about those things."
Kagome just shook her head, "Yes, mother."
Kouga just glared at her for a moment before he rememebered the present, "Oh and that reminds me, while out on my stroll I passed the window of one of them old antique places, and what I saw there made me think of you. Of course I wouldn't normally go into a second hand store but I know you like older things so I had to get it."
He picked the box up and handed it to her. Kagome held it in her hands gently a little afraid to see what was inside. She gently lifted the lid and gasped, "Oh, Kouga it is so beautiful."
Pulling out the aged necklace she watched as the lights bounced off of the pink jewel and sent rainbows of color skittering across the room.
"I knew you would like it, the old man who owned the store said it is very old. He even said it is a love charm. So maybe now you can finally find a man," Kouga said ruining the moment.
Kagome scowled and placed the necklace back in the box and set it on the table, "Thank you and I have no problems with finding a man, I just don't want to, besides they are all jackasses."
Kouga placed a hand over his heart, "I am deeply offended Kagome, us men are not all that bad."
"The way my day has been, I beg to differ, and demon men are the worst," Kagome said.
Kouga looked hurt and Kagome had to back peddle, "Oh Kouga, I don't mean you. I love you, even if you make me mad sometimes, but so far the only male demons I have met, besides you, are egotistical pricks, immature hotheads, or psychos. "
"You're using plural when you say demons, so Inuyasha isn't the only one at the station now?"
Kagome shook her head and retold exactly how her day had went, starting with the previous night, "And here we are."
Kouga whistled, "No wonder you were being such a biotch. I've heard of Sesshomaru but I've never met him. You say he is related to Inuyasha?"
Kagome nodded her head.
"Oh, I bet he is so handsome, more then his brother even," Kouga noted the frown on Kagome's face.
"You know what, because you have had such a horrid day, I'm treating you to a Girls night. We can call your friends and have a sleep over, then pig out on junk until we pass out. I'll go get my things so I can give facials, mani's and pedi's, and maybe I'll even do something with your hair," Kouga said happily.
Before Kagome could even protest, Kouga shoved a phone in her hand and dashed out the door. Kagome dropped her head and groaned, "What am I going to do?"
It only took her moments before she realized she had left her bubble bath running.

A/N: I apologize to all the Kouga fans. For the sake of this story I needed a comic relief and a friend for Kagome to turn to, especially since her best friend Sango is away trying to capture a lying, coniving, traitorus, sneaky, man. Kouga in my head fit the bill and for this story and he is very OOC, which is my point. Expect to see him pushing our little Kagome to the brink of craziness and hopefully making you laugh.
Next chapter should be up soon.
