A/N: Chapter 11 is finally here and I do apologize for making you all wait so long. ENJOY!
After all the hustle and bustle of Kagome's audition and getting her settled in her new life, Sango and Ayame started to get closer to each other to the point that they also considered each other to be close friends. What brought them even closer was the fact that they both had been seeing two of the most famous musicians under Inuyasha's label, Koga Wolf and Miroku Monk. When they weren't spending time having girl time, shopping and getting pampered with Kagome and Rin, they were spending time with the musicians. In the last few weeks they have been dating, partying, and having a blast.
Ayame and Koga had been nearly inseparable since the day of Kagome's audition. In fact that night Koga asked Ayame to join him at one of the events he was scheduled to make an appearance at. Without even know what type of event she was being invited to, Ayame agreed. It wasn't until later after doing some shopping and hanging with the girls, did Ayame come home to a package at her apartment door. Not thinking anything of it and thinking it may have just been one of the many things she ordered online, she grabbed the package along with the rest of her mail and headed into her apartment.
Ayame flopped on the couch and looked through the mail that she had received. After looking at bill after bill, she went to open her package and noticed that it came from a store she had never heard of. She unwrapped the box and saw it was a dress. She pulled the dress from out of the box and her mouth just dropped. In her hands she was holding a long black dress. The dress had long sleeves and was cut in a sweetheart shape in the front. There was a long slit on the side of the dress that seemed to be endless.
Standing up to see how the dress looked against her, the box dropped out of Ayame's lap and a card fell out. Ayame picked up the card and read it.
Noticed that I forgot to tell you what type of event it was that I invited you to. So here is a little something that I hope you will enjoy and will wear tonight for the premiere of a movie a friend of mines is staring in. I guested your size, so if it doesn't fit I apologized. We can take it back later to get you something else. I can't wait to see you tonight. Will pick you up at 8.
-K
Ayame smile at the card before looking up at the time. She didn't know where the time had gone. It was now 6pm and she only has a few hours to get ready. Grabbing the dress and rushing to her room, Ayame went to get dressed for her date that night.
By 7:45, Ayame had showered, shaved, and her makeup finished. She was walking around in a pair of black laced thongs and a strapless lace bra. She had done her hair before she went to take a shower and all she had left to do was pull the rollers out and lets the style go. She was also wearing a pair of her favorite red pumps along with a set of red pearl earrings, necklace, and bracelets, which she decided to put on after she put her dress on since she would have to put them over the sleeves of the dress. Deciding that since the dress was black, her accessories going to be something that popped.
She walked over towards to the closet where her dress was now hanging up on a hook. While sliding the dress off of the hook and onto her body, Ayame noticed the dress fit like a glove. It hugged her curves in every way possible. The dress laid just off of Ayame shoulders and the slip came up to her right leg and stopped just below the top of her thigh. Even though Ayame had on heels, the dress was still on the floor and dragged softly as she walked. Taking out her rollers, Ayame's long red hair fell down the side of her shoulder. Ayame had decided to pin her hair to one side and let the the curls flow.
Just as she started to check her completed look in the mirror, there was a knock on the door. Grabbing her red clutch, Ayame walked towards the door only to find a complete stranger standing there.
"Good evening. I am Sam and I was told by Mr. Wolf to come and collect you for the evening." The man stated taking his hat off.
"Good evening Sam. Is Koga not here or is he meeting me at the event?" Ayame asked a little disappointed.
"No ma'am. Mr. Wolf is down stairs in the limo on a call with his grandfather. He didn't want to keep you waiting or make you two late so he asked me to come fetch you." Sam states with a smile.
"Oh ok. Well let me lock up and we can head out." Ayame turned to lock her door before dropping the key in her clutch with her cell phone.
When they got outside, there was in fact a limo waiting. Ayame could hear Koga's voice which was filled with so much endearment. Not wanting to interrupt his call, Ayame slide in beside him grabbing the bottom of her dress so it wouldn't get caught up in the door as Sam closed it.
Koga mouthed "You look beautiful" before continuing his call with his grandfather and making Ayame blush.
"Ok Gramps. Tell Nana and everyone I love and miss them and I will be down to see everyone before I head on tour in a few weeks." Koga stated as her hung up the call and looked at the beautiful woman who was not sitting beside him, "I tell you for a 77 year old man, that man can talk his gums off." Koga laughed.
"It never shocks me. My boss is a little younger than that and when I say she can talk a head off, I mean she will talk your head off. I find myself sometime wondering where she gets the energy to talk that much." Ayame stated with a smile.
"Same with my Gramps, but I guess it comes with old age. But on another topic, I must say that dress suits you very well. It really hugs you in all the right places." Koga smirked.
Ayame blushed even deeper as she stated a quiet "thank you". She was glad that Koga like to dress on her and even more happy that he picked it out.
Koga grabbed Ayame's hand noticing that he was causing her to blush as she kissed her hand sweetly. "I hope you do forgive me for not telling where we were going tonight. It completely slipped my mind. I hope you can forgive me for my simple mindedness."
"Oh it is fine. I was just happy you asked me out in the first place. I wouldn't have minded if you had asked me to go to Mars, I still would have agreed." Ayame smiled shyly.
That statement caused Koga to smirk even bigger. He knew that Ayame like him, but he wasn't expecting her to like him that much. He had to admit that when he first saw her, he couldn't keep his eyes off of her and when she was no longer in his line of vision, he couldn't keep his mind off of her. It was just something about this woman that made him crazy. She was sexy, smart, and very sweet. He couldn't wait to make her his and knew once he did, he would never let her go. "You are so sexy you know that? And that blush is so adorable. It almost makes me wanna kiss you." Koga stated with playful growl.
"Then why don't you?" Ayame asked shocking both Koga and herself. Did she really say that they both thought to themselves.
"Oh, I am more than willing to do that." Koga stated leaning up to kisses Ayame in a deep and passionate kiss. The kiss sent sparks to both of them and neither wanted to stop the kiss. It was only when they felt the limo come to a halt that they pull apart, both blushing this time.
"Umm. I think we are here." Ayame softly stated.
"Yea. I think we are. Are you ready?" Koga asked receiving a nod from Ayame. He then smirked as he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the limo behind him into the the nonstop parade of flashing and noise.
The paparazzi was crowding the red carpet asking questions to each and every celebrity hoping to get their attention. Koga just smiled and waved as he and kept a hold on Ayame's hand as they made their way towards the main part of the red carpet away from the really annoying press. When they got deeper onto the red carpet, Koga slowed down and said in anger, "I swear those sleazy press people get on my nerves. They always asking questions and using what you say against you. One of the major things Naraku warned us about when we first got into this business."
"It's ok. I am just glad to be here with you." Ayame squeezed Koga's hand and noticing that he instantly calmed down and smiled at her.
As they walked a little further they stopped and took a few pictures for magazines and newspapers. In all of the photo's Koga made sure to hold Ayame close so that she would be in all of the pictures with him. She smiled and laughed as a few of the reporters joked around with Koga and complimented on how they looked so good together. That of course made Ayame blush a little as they both thanked everyone.
While most of the pictures were being taking and other celebrities interacted with Koga and Ayame, Koga couldn't help but notice just how beautiful and charming Ayame was. She was able to mix and fit in with all of the people she met. He had to give it to her. She was very short of being perfect.
As they started to head towards the door of the theater, Koga was stopped by a reporter of the hottest music magazine to do a really short interview. Koga agreed as he grabbed Ayame's hand and they walked towards the reporter to answer her questions.
"Koga I just have a few questions for you and I promise we will keep them short and sweet. For the most part at least." The woman laughed.
"It's fine. We have nothing but time. Ask away." Koga stated with an amazing smile knowing that cameras were watching him from every angle.
"So first I must say, both you and your date look amazing. She is really beautiful. May I ask her name?" The woman asked looking at Ayame.
"My name is Ayame. Ayame Lin." Ayame states with a smile as she gripped tighter onto Koga's arm and smiled.
"Ayame Lin as in the professional ballet dancer?" The woman asked taking a closer look at Ayame.
"One on the same. However, I haven't danced professionally in a few years. Taking a hiatus you know. I need a break from the stage and decided to take a job as a ballet instructor." Ayame stated with a smile. Truth was that after her last professional performance, she just felt as though she had lost her love for ballet dancing. Until she found her love again teaching her students.
"What school are you teaching at may I ask? Are you back at your Alma Mater?" The nosy reporter asked again.
"No I am actually teaching at a dance school on the south end of the city." Ayame stated before noticing the grimace on the reporter's face as she told her where she taught at. She knew most people looked down on things that involved the south side of the city, but she refused to allow that to stop her from being happy.
"Well. That's. Nice." The reporter stated before turning back to Koga and asked a few questions. Koga noticed that Ayame's whole vibe changed after that last question directed towards her. It was now Koga's turn to help her relax. He gave her a sweet kiss on her cheek that caused her not only to blush, but to change her vibe a of course did not go unnoticed by the reporters on the carpet. All attention was on the couple as the main reported come up with her next statement and question."Awww. You two are so cute together. How long have you two been dating? I mean are you two dating?"
"Actually we just made it official today. I asked this amazing woman to be my date to this event tonight and she graciously accepted my offer. I mean I wasn't accepting someone so sweet and caring to actually be willing to accept my offer, but she did. I am glad to have her by my side and even happier to have her as my girlfriend." Koga smiled as he looked at Ayame who was blushing and leaned over to kiss his lips softly. "With that being said, me and my amazing girlfriend are going to head inside. I have time for one more question before we had inside.
"Well I am sure that all your fans want to know what is next for the amazingly talented Koga Wolf. So what is next?"
Koga thought of the list of things that were next for him and looked at Ayame and smiled. "Next will be Izayoi Tsukada's fashion show this weekend. I will not only be supporting my label's event, but also will be performing my newly leased song that is on my upcoming album. Then I will be going on a world tour with a few different locations with the band for a month or so. So if my fans haven't bought their tickets for one of the tour date, I'd suggest they get them fast cause tickets are getting sold out fast. And lastly I am going to spend as much time with my beautiful, caring and talented girlfriend as I can and visit my family before I hit the road. With that being said I wish you all a good night." Koga stated before grabbing Ayame's hand and walking into the building.
Ayame didn't know what to think about the whole interview. It was a lot to take in, but one thing she did know for sure was that Koga claimed her as his girlfriend and national tv and for many cameras. Was he just trying to save face or was he serious. She would have to ask him later.
As the night continued, Ayame couldn't keep the interview off her mind. After the premiere was over, Koga took Ayame out for a nice restaurant for a late dinner. Once they were seated and ordered, Ayame couldn't hold it in any longer, she had to ask. "Koga what did you mean when you told that reporter that I was your girlfriend? Were you just trying to save face or something? I mean I didn't mind that you called me your girlfriend nor would i mind being your girlfriend, I just want to know."
Koga had been waiting all night for Ayame to ask that question. After he made the statement to the reporter, he was waiting for an eerie feeling to occur. Something that made him say, no this doesn't feel right, but instead he felt complete and the words felt natural coming out his mouth. He knew that he was going to make Ayame his girlfriend by the end of the night, but wanted to see where her head was in the situation and it seems as though he just got his answer. "Well I called you my girlfriend because I want you to be my girlfriend. I meant everything I said to that reporter."
"Ok, so what are you saying exactly because I need some clarity? I mean are you saying and asking what I think you are asking?" Ayame stated as the waiter came to their table with their plates of food as well as a bottle of champagne.
"Yes Ayame I am saying what you think I am saying. I want you to be my girlfriend and in the future much more. I mean that is only if you would accept me as your boyfriend. I just feel this connection between us that I have never felt with anyone else I have been with. You are an amazing girl and I feel like with you by my side I, no scratch that, we will be able to do some amazing things."
After hearing that last comment, Ayame couldn't do anything but blush. No man had ever said such amazing and beautiful things to her. They only saw her looks and never saw the person that she really was. But here was Koga, seeing her for her made her feel and believe that he was right. The connection they had was something she had never felt before and she knew that there could only be one answer. "Ok." she said as she took a bite of the steak that was in front of her.
"Ok?" Koga asked a little confused on what exactly Ayame meant. He was hoping that that ok meant a yes, but and ok can mean a lot of different things.
"Ok as in yes Koga Wolfe, I will love to be your girlfriend. I feel that you are right when you say we can do some amazing things together. Plus I also feel that together we can and will do some amazing things together. I believe in this and I believe in you." Ayame leaned over and kissed Koga deeply and feeling that spark that she felt earlier in their first kiss, exact this one was more passionate and filled with true emotions. After breaking away from the kisses, Ayame blushed and Koga smirked.
"It, getting pretty late, how about we get this get this go and head back to my place or we could go to your place if you like to finish this conversation? Maybe even spend the night? I promise I won't try anything and be a complete gentleman the whole time." Koga asked before waving the waiter over to their table and asking him to bag their food to go.
"Sound like a plan. I trust you to behave. Let's head to your place. My parent just got back in town today and I don't want to wake them. However we might need to stop by to get some clothes." Ayame stated as they left the restaurant and into the limo.
"How about I just send someone to get you something in the morning and you borrow some of my clothes for the night? That way we wont risk the chances of disturbing anyone's rest." Koga suggested receiving a nod in agreement from Ayame before giving Sam orders to head back towards his place just outside of town.
The whole ride the two talked about themselves and their likes and dislikes. When they arrived to Koga's house, Ayame was completely shock. The house wasn't what she expected at all. Most of the guys she dates either had a huge over the top house, a over the top condo, or a complete bachelor's pad. Instead the couple stood outside a classic home surrounded by tons of land and forest. She had always dreamed of owning a home like the one that she stood in front of. From the outside view, Ayame noticed the amazing stone steps that lead to the front door. From the outside of the brick house, the house looked as if it had three floors each floor was accented by huge open windows. There was a huge garage that was attached to the house and Ayame had a feeling it would be filled with cars. As they walked towards the door, Koga took out his keys and "Oh and I must worn you, my place is kinda empty. I just bought it a few months ago and haven't had the time to look around for stuff to decorate. I mean besides being in the studio or on tour, I kinda only have a few things done in here." Koga stated as he scratched his neck.
"I'm sure it ain't that bad. Let's just had inside." Ayame stated with a smile as Koga pushed open the door. When they got into the house, the first thing Ayame notice was that the inside had a mix between earthy and modern. The walls were stone with a mix of steel and wood. Standing in the entryway, Ayame saw a huge fireplace with wooden bookshelves surrounding it. As they got further into the house Ayame's mind was completely blown. There wasn't much furniture around other than what was probably in the home when it was designed. She saw a few doors around her and wondered where they all lead to. Koga noticed Ayame looking around and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. However he had a feeling he would find out in a few moments.
"Just how big is this place? I mean it's beautiful."Ayame asked wanting badly to be able to walk around and explore.
"I honestly don't know how many rooms are in here. I really brought the house for the earthy vibes that it has as well as the land and woods. They are kinda my thing, you know. I do however know there is a huge full size kitchen, a huge master suite with an amazing walk in closet. The house itself is four stories and there are both elevators and stairs. There is a theater and studio on the basement level because I wanted those there. There is of course the five are garage that I have my three cars and two bikes in as well a full backyard set up with a huge pool, hot tub, and grilling area. Other than that I think there are about seven to nine other rooms in here." Koga said as he turned around to face a shocked face Ayame and noticed she was still in her dressed up and in her heels. While he had already taken off his jacket, undid his tie, and unbutton the top few buttons on his shirt."You can take those heels off and get comfy if you want. I know you have been in them all night, your feet must hurt by now." Koga laughed a little as he lead her towards another part of the house.
"Wow. This place is big and all this for one person. I wouldn't have expected this at all and you are right, my feet are killing me right now. I mean I am use to the pain in my feet from my ballet shoes, but wearing 9 inch heels for seven plus hours still hurts like hell." Ayame started taking off her heels and looking around noticing that they ended up in the kitchen.
"I know it's a lot for a single guy like myself, but I hope to one day have a family and everything together. This is my dream home and I hope my wife will feel the same way."Koga stated as he put the food in the fridge and grabbing two bottles of water, handing one to Ayame one.
After taking a sip of water from the bottle, Ayame looked around the kitchen and how gorgeous it was, "I must say this is defiantly the type of house I always dreamed of spending the rest of my life in. This house is perfect." Ayame took another sip of her water not realizing what she said.
"Oh really now?"Koga smirked causing Ayame to realize exactly what she said and blush. "In that case, how about you help me decorate this place. I mean I'm sure you have amazing taste and we may not be able to finish before I go on tour, but at least you can help me until then."
"Ummm, sure. I'd love you, but are you sure you want my opinion and not a professional. I 've never really designed anything other than my room." Ayame looked down at the bottle in her hand.
Koga grabbed Ayame's chin and looked her in the eyes before pecking her lips softly. "I am positive. I want you to design this place for me. As a matter of fact, hold on a minute. I will be right back." Koga headed out of the kitchen before coming back a few minutes later with a key in hand and handed it to her. "Here I want you to have this. And before you say anything, I am not asking you to move in or anything. Well not yet at least. Anyways, you can use the key to get in here to decorate or visit or whatever."
"Koga I can't. We barely have been a couple, yet alone know each other. Not saying in a serial killer or anything, but still. This is a big step." Ayame said handing him back the key only to get it handed back to her.
"I know we barely have been a couple and what not, but I trust you. Beside my mother and myself you will be the only one to have my key. And if it will make you feel better, how about you only use it when I am here or after you call me and let me know you are coming and I can meet you here. At least until you feel comfortable enough to come on your own. So keep it. I know you are going to be around and I want you to feel as comfortable here as I would. So please keep the key."
"Ok, I will keep it, but I will only use it when I have your permission. I can't wait to start decorating this place. It is going to be amazing I promise and I know you are going to love it."Ayame said putting the key in her clutch only to turn around and see Koga standing face to face with her before pulling her into a deep kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss only to pull away when she needed to catch her breath.
"I am sure that I am. How about we go up stairs and get more comfy before coming down and having dessert. That restaurant makes a mean brownie obsession. When we come back down we can warm it back up and share." Koga said grabbing Ayame's hand with one hand leading her upstairs to his room.
When they got to the room, Ayame was amazed at how elegant and earthy his room was. The walls were the same stone as the rest of the house with a huge fire place against one side of the room opposite of the a king size bed. The room had two more doors which she assume lead to the closet and the master bathroom. Above the fireplace was a flat screen tv with surround sound. There were three guitars in one corner of the room beside the a build in couch. There was a huge window that faced the the forest and was high enough to see over the trees towards a huge waterfall and mountains. The view was amazing and something that she could see herself looking at every day.
"Exquisite isn't it. When I first saw this view I sat here and stared at it for a while. Looking at the view helped me write some of my best songs recently." Koga said causing Ayame to snap out her trance and look at him. "Follow me. I am sure I have a t-shirt or something you can wear in my walk-in."
Koga ended up showing Ayame a massive walk-in closet that was half full. One side was filled with Koga's clothes and shoes, while the other side was empty. She could tell that the closet was supposed to be his and hers closet. Which kind of made Ayame wonder just why the rock star was single in the first place. There were rumors going around saying the Koga was a bad boy who could never be tied down, dating everything from models to actress to other musicians both human and demons alike. None of them were seen on Koga for too long. However, the Koga she was seeing didn't seem like that type of person at all. Instead he was sweet and caring. He was funny and seem to only think about how she felt and thought. Maybe what everyone else was saying about him were just rumors and perceptions.
Once again Ayame was snapped out her train of thought by Koga. This time he was handing her one of his graphic tees, "Here you go. It may be a little big, but it should do until the morning. You can change in the bathroom and I'll change in here."
"Thanks. Do you mind if I take one of these hangers to hang up the dress and leave my heels in here?"
"No, it's fine. Take a rack and you can put the shoes in one of the shoe racks and when you finish with the dress you can hang it in here as well. Go change ahead and change so we can eat our late dessert." Koga smirked as he watched Ayame blush before heading out the closet. He knew that this girl was going to be his forever, she just didn't know it yet. He was going to allow her to decorate the house in whatever manner she wished before asking her to move in with him. He had a plan which would end with Ayame becoming Ayame Wolfe, wife and mother to Koga and his future children. He smiled to himself before changing out of his suit and into a pair of basketball shorts. He through the suit into his dry cleaning pile. He knew he would eventually have to hire some staff, he just the house wasn't as big as most of his label mates homes, but it was big enough to need more than one person to clean. Since he was barely there he didn't make much of a mess he only got it professionally cleaned once a month, however, he felt as though since he was going to most likely have Ayame at his house more often and decorating the house, he would need someone to make sure it remained clean. Maybe three or four staff members.
There was a knock on the door that bought Koga out his train of thought. When he looked up he saw Ayame standing there in one of his shirts that was just long enough to come mid-thigh. Her hair was now flowing down her back with all the curls brushed out. She no longer had on any makeup and freshly washed. She was just as beautiful natural as she was dressed up. She had her dress on a hanger"You are right, this shirt is big enough to do. It is almost big enough to be a dress. I also used your brush, I hope you don't mind. I made sure I put it back in it correct place as well."
"You look exquisite and feel free to use anything here. What is mines is as good as yours." Ayame phone then went off in her clutch and made them both jump. When she grabbed her phone she noticed that it was her mother and told Koga she needed to take the call. " Take the call and hang up your dress. When you finish come down and join me in the kitchen." After receiving a nod from Ayame, she answered the phone, and he went down stairs to warm up the brownie.
Ayame was on the phone and couldn't help but think about how sexy a shirtless Koga was. His abs were defined and he had the most amazing natural tan. It was like a Greek God and all hers. She bit her lip as she picked up the phone to talk to her mother who just wanted to make sure she was safe and ok. Ayame informed her that she was ok and that she would be home tomorrow sometime. Her mother told her she loved her and would see her tomorrow before hanging up. Ayame hung up the phone before hanging up her dress and checking her appearance in the full length mirror that was in the closet. She like what she saw before leaving and going downstairs to meet Koga.
When she finally made it to the kitchen she saw Koga taking a plate out of the microwave and placing it on the island beside a bowl and a container of ice cream. He started to place the brownie in a bowl along with the ice cream. She had to admit, she enjoyed watching him concentrate. She half way felt guilty about just standing there and watching him, but she just couldn't get it into herself to stop staring. He just looked so damn good.
"If you are going to stare. You could at least do it over here and out the doorway. The ice cream will melt completely if we don't start eating it." Koga handed her a spoon before taken his own spoon and eating a piece of the desert that was in front of him. Following his lead, she took her spoon and took her own bite. To her shock, it actually was mind blowing. The brownie was just hot enough to melt to the vanilla ice cream slowly. It was topped with nuts and chocolate syrup. It was heaven in a bite and Ayame couldn't help but let out a small moan.
Koga smirked, "Good right? When I first tried it, I couldn't believe how amazing it tasted. It's like a piece of inspiration in every bite. However, there is one thing that i've tasted that was even more amazing than this."
Ayame took another spoon full of the dessert before asking, "What is that?"
Placing the spoon down in the bowl, Koga moved closer to Ayame and kissed her deeply causing Ayame to drop her spoon as well. She wrapped her arms around Koga's neck and kissed him deeply determined not to let him out do her in this kiss. Koga lifted Ayame up onto the counter, pushing the bowl back and continuing the kissed. Both fighting for dominance in the kiss and neither wanting to break the connection. Deciding to let Koga win, Ayame broke the kiss and looked at Koga eye to eye as he stated, "You."
I hoped you enjoyed reading this as much as I have writing this. I don't know when the next chapter will be up and I don't want to promise you a date due to life changing so much and idea's changing here and there. All I can say is that I am working on the next chapter as we speak and I hope to get it up as soon as possible.
