Teenage Affections

Author's Note: This is my first A/U fic and third Inuyasha fic. Basically, they're all fifteen and in high school and Kagome is a new girl in the school. Due to the fact I DON'T like Kikyo, may not be in this fic! Sorry! Please read and review... and please don't give me any bad reviews.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Chapter 18

Souta ran up to Shippo and looked around expectantly. Two days had passed since they had last seen Kohaku and he was starting to worry. Even Kagome had said that she hadn't seen Sango lately either. Shippo noticed his friend was looking for Kohaku and sighed. "I went by his house to walk to school with him, but he wasn't there. Not even their dad." Souta sighed.

"Maybe they went on a trip."

"Kohaku is missing." The boys turned around and looked at Koharu. "No one knows... but I heard that he was missing from Miroku."

"You're kidding right?" Koharu shook her head.

"No... Sango hasn't been home or at school either, but Miroku doesn't know that." Koharu explained. Souta looked at her and then at Shippo.

"Shouldn't we help out with finding him then?" he asked. Koharu rolled her eyes and glared at the two boys, causing them to both look at her innocently.

"You can't find him. Someone kidnapped him so that he can't be found. You wouldn't even know who-" They all stopped when a teacher came walking up.

"To class with you all, now." he said. The three kids nodded and Koharu turned around, giving the boys a serious look.

"Stay out of trouble or you'll make things worst. Its bad enough Miroku-kun doesn't know where his girlfriend is." she said and left the two boys to look confused.

------------------------------------

Kagome wasn't too surprised to see Miroku standing at hers and Sango's locker when she entered the school. Sango had been out of school two days since Kohalu went missing and she had not contacted anyone. She hadn't even answered her door when they came by to see if she was ok. Miroku seemed to straighten up when she entered the building, but sulked when he saw that Sango was not following. "I'm sorry Miroku... she didn't answer the door again." Miroku sighed and nodded.

"Yeah... I understand that she's upset about Kohaku's disappearence, but I've never seen her be this distant before. Not even when her mom died." he said. Kagome nodded and sighed as she watched Miroku walk off. He wasn't his old charming self when Sango wasn't around and a lot of people were beginning to think he was sick.

"Morning Kagome-chan." Came a cheerful voice and she sighed, smiling only a little at Kouga.

"Hey Kouga-kun..." He looked at her with concern, his smile fading a little.

"Hey, are you ok? You and Houshi have been acting odd lately. Even your little boy toy has been acting funny." he said. Kagome sighed as she closed her locker.

"We're worried about Sango and her family is all... Her little brother is missing you know." Kouga's face went slightly blank and Kagome stared at him before rolling her eyes. 'Of course he wouldn't know.' she thought.

"When'd this all happen?" Kouga asked.

"The same day Miroku was jumped." said Kagome and saw a frown cross Kouga's face. "Do you know something that could help?"

"Uh, yeah." said Kouga and grinned widely. "I can help you out big time... But you've gotta go on a date with me if we get back Sango and her little brother." he informed. Kagome opened her mouth to protest, but stopped. She wanted her friend back and Kouga obviously knew what would help them out.

"Al... alright, I'll do it. One date if we get Sango and Kohaku back in one piece." she said. Kouga grinned triumphantly and nodded his head.

"Great. Meet me after school. You won't be disappointed. I've got connections." he said brightly and ran off to class happily as Inuyasha came walking up.

"What's going on?" he asked. Kagome looked at him and smiled innocently, deciding against telling him the deal she had just made with Kouga.

"Nothing. Come on. We need to get to class." she said. Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously, glancing in the direction Kouga had gone. He opened his mouth to say something, but knowing where this would lead to, Kagome began walking ahead of him to class. She didn't neeed to hear him give her hell and wasn't going to tell him anything... but she figured at least Miroku should have a clue what's going on.

---------------------------------------------

Miroku leaned against the wall and looked around as he stood with Kagome waiting for Kouga to arrive. Some one his friends were already waiting with them, looking at Miroku with uncertainty. It was obvious they were expecting Inuyasha to come out of no where soon since his girlfriend and best friend were here. Kagome smiled at them however and nudged Miroku. "Lighten up a little. We're about to get Sango back." she siad. Miroku looked at her.

"We're at an abandoned building Kagome. And Kouga is late... are you sure we haven't been set up?" he asked. Kagome shook her head.

"If we were I think they would have taken advantage of all this by now." she said, nodding at one of Kouga's friends. Miroku nodded and a confused look crossed his face as a girl around thier age with red hair pulled into two pig tails and green eyes came walking up. She looked at them and smiled brightly.

"So, these are Kouga's friends?" she asked.

"Ayame, what're you doing here? Kouga told you to stay out of his way when it came to this." said one of the guys and she glared at him.

"Kouga is still trying to trick Naraku into believing he's on his side so he can find out where Houshi's girlfriend and the twerp is. You won't believe what he had to do. He kidnapped two more kids you know." she said and smiled slightly, waving over her shoulder at them as she began walking off. "If you want to see what's really going on, follow me." Miroku looked hesitant, but Kagome followed when the others did.

"Miroku, who is she? I've never seen her in school." whispered Kagome.

"Her name is Ayame. She use to go to school with us in grade school but transfered afterwards... She's got a thing for Kouga." Miroku answered. Kagome nodded her head slowly and looked at Ayame. She wondered if she was the insane jealous type because if she was, she wouldn't be too happy to know about the agreement made with Kouga.

"Here we are. Be quiet." she said as she led them into a room and knelt down, lifting up a board and pointing. The group gathered around and looked through the opening at the group below. Naraku and a whole group out numbered Kouga who stood confidently with two boys tied up at his side.

"Is that Shippo?" asked Miroku in shock.

"And Souta! What does he think he's doing!?" Kagome announced and someone put their hand over her mouth. Ayame shook her head.

"Keep quiet or Kouga won't get the information." she said and looked around. "I wonder where the little girl they had is." she said. Miroku looked at her in confusion.

"What little girl?"

"When Kouga found the boys, a girl was with them." answered Ayame. A scream was heard and the group leaned anxiously over to see who was being brought in. "Koharu!" Ayame stood up straight and tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"Hmm... guess Kouga should have chosen different kids to kidnap huh?" she asked.

ooc: Well here's this chapter. Sorry if i've portrayed Ayame wrong. I haven't seen any episodes on her, only pics and read a little info about her and Kouga. I just wanted to toss in another character.
