Ayame greeted Sango and Kouga as she got into his truck. She was a bit bumped she had to got to work a bit early but was glad that she'd be able to practice and see Kouga, along with her other friends.

"Hey Kouga, can you drop me off at work after we're done?" She asked as he glanced at her.

"Yeah sure, I don't have anything special I need to do." He said shrugging as they headed to Inuyasha's house, only to see his car was missing and his garage was open. Puzzled Ayame looked to Kouga who glared.

"Where is that stupid mutt?" She heard him say as Ayame glance behind her to Sango, who looked as puzzled as she felt.

"Maybe he went to get Kagome." Sango said as they pulled into the garage, Ayame glanced at Kouga to see what he'd do at the meant of her name. She liked Kagome, she really did, but she just wished Kouga didn't care about her. He didn't do anything though, unlike the other times they ended up mentioning Kagome and Inuyasha in the same sentence. Which made Ayame hopeful that he accepted the fact that Kagome was only interested in being friends with him. Both Ayame and Sango had known what those two had done when they were alone. Ayame would have bet her job that they liked each other.

When they were inside they saw Kagome on the couch, hearing the door opened Kagome whirled around as though she were excited about seeing them. Ayame almost laughed when she saw Kagome frown.

"Oh Inuyasha and Miroku left to have Miroku pick up his car." Kagome said as Ayame and Sango glanced at each other with a grin. Ayame saw Kouga heading to the couch and decided to beat him to the spot next to Kagome.

"Yes I get the couch this time!" She grinned as she saw Kouga with a look of surprise before he shrugged and sat next to her. Ayame had to refrain herself from acting stupid just because he was sitting next to her when the door the lead from the garage to the opened. Ayame watched Inuyasha and Miroku go threw the door.

"Great lets start." Inuyasha said as they followed him to the basement. Ayame glance at the clock on her phone and noted they had roughly three hours to practice the song again. Getting her instrument out she began the song followed by Inuyasha, then the others, Ayame was proud of Kagome as she began to sing without hesitating like the first to times, they managed to get the first half of the song down, and had to work at the last half, by the end of the week though she suspected that they would have most of the song, and would start to memorizing it. The time flew by as always and Ayame was forced to end the session.

"Okay guys, I need to leave, come on Kouga let's go!" She said, half dragging him away.

"Hold on what about Sango?" Kouga asked as she stopped.

"Oh right." She said glancing sheepishly at her friend as Sango shook her head.

"That's okay I'll take home this time." Miroku inject as they all glanced at him. Miroku looked back at them in confusion with all the stares.

"Oh so your not as lazy as I thought." Inuyasha said poking fun at him as Sango sighed.

"Okay well see you Ayame and Kouga." Sango said as Ayame waved at her before dragging Kouga out.

"Let's hurry, I don't want to be late." She said as she glanced at Kouga.

"Right." He said with a smile, as they hurried toward his truck.
