Tired eyes that fall upon KOGA?!?!?!?!?!
Kagome and Inuyasha decided to leave early Sunday morning around 2 am, to try to catch less traffic on the busy roads and freeways of Los Angeles. Kagome curled up in her comforter in a pair of black lounge pants and a plain white fitted tee in the passengers seat, just taking in all the city lights and happenings as Inuyasha sped away with mixed feelings.
"Kagome. Here, read this. I was able to sneak out some of your things from your house, and Sango and Miroku put your bass and amp in the u-haul. They left us this note." he explained handing her the note.
Kagome flipped down the visor and flipped up the cover of the lighted mirror, placing it like a small lamp over her lap and read Sango's somewhat sloppy handwriting.
Kagome and Inuyasha,
Hey guys, I hate not being able to really say good bye, but being watched makes it hard to sneak around and really say goodbye. Miroku and I have pushed back the date of the wedding. Miroku refuses to have the wedding without his best man present. Which brings me to a question for Kagome… Will you be my maid of honor? I know we've known each other a short time, but I feel closer to you then any Miroku's cousin Ayame. I can't wait till we get to see each other again. I hope you have a safe trip. Be careful. Your bass and amp are in the trailer. Me and Miroku also left you guys with a couple days worth of food and drinks for the road. Write and let me know that you've made it safe. Me and Miroku will try to find a solution for the problem at hand. There has to be some other way. Well, we miss you guys very much. Write and tell us what Georgia is like. I'm sure you'll like his third cousin Ayame. Well, making this short. Because I want to cry. We'll keep you two informed on what is going on, remember to let us know as well!
Much Love,
Sango and Miroku
Take care of each other.
Kagome smiled and put the letter in the glove box. She turned to the cooler and box in the backseat and fished out a Pepsi for her and Inuyasha.
"So, Ayame is Miroku's third cousin. I wonder what she's like." she wondered out loud.
"She's okay. Very sweet." he assured her.
" I just don't want you or I to get caught."
"Hopefully that won't happen. We'll be staying with her for a few weeks. Maybe we'll get a place there if it seems safe to stay. Until Miroku, Sango, and I come up with some sort of a solution."
" I hope."
She gulped down the Pepsi, and threw the can in an empty grocery bag from Inuyasha's Raman he had to buy for the trip. She curled up and closed her eyes letting a few tears escape from not being able to say goodbye to her mother and brother. She drifted off after a few moments, into a deep and dreamless sleep.

After four days of arguing and making the best of the long trip, they arrived in Athens, Ga home of the University of Georgia. They wandered a little around Athens, Inuyasha let Kagome pick up some new clothes from Hot Topic in the Georgia Square Mall. She got a pair of black and neon green pants with the suspender type straps, and a shirt to match. She also picked up a pair of cute baggy beige skants and a black ramones shirt and decided to get Inuyasha a black Misfits hoodie as well.
They decided to grab a quick lunch at a Wendy's across from the mall and then headed to ILA, Ga where Miroku's cousin stayed. Arguing over the directions that were given to them by Miroku, they finally found the area they were looking for.
"Wow, talk about a small town. I think all it is is a stop light, gas station, and a diner." Inuyasha noted out loud, pulling nervously at his Misfits cap.
"Talk about seclusion." Kagome added, running her fingers through her tousled hair.
They were tired, slightly nervous, and Inuyasha had only meet Miroku's third cousin, Ayame, twice when they were younger. Inuyasha pulled the Explorer onto an orange dirt road, looking for the two story brick home she lived in.
"What kind of dirt is this? I've never seen orange dirt before." Kagome laughed nervously.
"Me either. Oh well, we'll have to ask her about that." Inuyasha replied as the long dirt road came to an end at the house.
They Parked directly behind a green 2002 Honda Civic and a gray 2004 Ford F-150 that was at the end of the dirt driveway, that looked like they had just came off of the showroom floor. Kagome looked at the brick home, noticing how it looked as though it was placed perfectly into a small clearing of the surrounding woods. There were four white columns that came down from the beginning of the second floor that separated the porch from the stone steps that lead them to it. Sitting on both sides of the front door were two comfy looking wooden rocking chairs that seemed to yearn for someone to sit upon. In front of the front door were two people, a tall youngish looking guy with black hair pulled into a high pony tail, tanned arms, wearing a black t-shirt and ripped up jeans embracing a girl with long reddish brown hair, semi tanned skin, and a short navy blue sundress.
Kagome heard Inuyasha begin to growl as they opened their doors, and began to get out. She walked around to him, and grabbed his hand as they walked to the home.
"Ayame! Don't tell me you and that shit head wolf have something going on!" complained Inuyasha, quiet loud and rudely.
"Inuyasha! You guys made it! Miroku and Sango have been calling me constantly all day!" Ayame exclaimed ignoring the comment breaking the embrace with the guy, and running down the steps to great them.
"Not dog shit!" Koga complained sitting grumpily in on of the rocking chairs, pouting like a five year old child.
"Don't start!" Ayame turned and said sternly, turning back to the new arrivals putting a smile on her face and offering a handshake to Kagome, "Don't pay attention to him. Hi, I'm Ayame."
"Oi, Kagome." Kagome said quietly, accepting the handshake.
"That over there is my fiancé' Koga who is being a turd. Nice to meet you. How have you been Inu? It's been a long time since I last saw you!" she continued giving Inuyasha a quick hug.
"That dumbass is your fiancé! You have to be kidding me right?!" Inuyasha's eyes growing wide with surprise.
"Yes, and he's not a dumb ass. Come on, I'll show you guys your room. I decided to put you guys in the basement." Ayame frowned, then brightened again.
Kagome stayed silent, half listening to Ayame and following her quick footsteps. Kagome realized that Koga was the guitarist who Sango and she had decided to have in their band. She remembered the last time Inuyasha and Koga got together and furrowed her eyes brows, knowing that this was going to be utter disaster. But wait.. He had had a Mohawk the last time she saw him, how did he have a full head of hair?
"Why the basement?" Kagome asked, catching barely what she had said, noting mentally to ask how Koga's hair had grown so quickly in such a short amount of time.
"When I bought it, the basement was made up like an apartment, there was a kitchen, living room, and a bathroom, all separated out. I was thinking about renting it out, but then Miroku called me, and asked if I had room for some houseguests for awhile." she explained, walking up the stairs and opening the front door.
They followed her, leaving a pouting Koga on the porch, into the house for a quick tour and to show them their 'apartment'. Her house was nicely furnished, and simple with decoration. A decent sized wooden entertainment center filled with everything that Kagome's had had on one wall, a big green couch, glass coffee table, green loveseat and a recliner strategically placed across from it. There was a nice, thick, green plush area rug over the beautiful hard wood floors underneath the furniture and coffee table. She showed them the rest of the house, telling them they were welcome to everywhere in the house except her room unless she allowed them to enter it, which Kagome didn't mind or blame her for. Inuyasha didn't really care about anything but the kitchen.
After touring the house, she led them downstairs to the huge basement that had been remade in to an apartment. The living room was provided with a black couch, and two black recliners, and the bed room, which was separated by a door, was provided with a full size bed and a large wooden dresser with a walk in closet. The kitchen was on the end, and had a door leading to the bathroom. A bar with two stools separated the kitchen from the living room. The kitchen and bathroom were the only floor area without the plush green carpeting, it had hard wood floors like the rest of the house.
"So, is it okay?" Ayame asked a little nervous. Her eyes darting back and forth to Inuyasha and Kagome.
"It's perfect." Kagome answered, happy about the accommodations, but nervous about Inuyasha's reaction to Koga and what problems it would lead to.
"Let's go get that U-haul unpacked. I have to take it to Athens tomorrow." he muttered turning around, releasing Kagome's hand and heading back up the stairs. Ayame and Kagome looked at one another uneasy, and quickly following him up.

"Hey, dog shit. I don't know why the hell you're here, but you better not be here too long." Koga snapped, following Inuyasha down the steps to the Explorer.
"Shut up you dip shit. Hopefully. I won't have to stay that long." he muttered to himself, not really to Koga, opening the small U-haul.
"you know, that Kagome girl is really something. I didn't recognize her at first with short hair. She's hot. Maybe I'll break it off with Ayame and ask her to be my woman." he snarled grabbing a few boxes, and following Inuyasha back inside the house.
It took every ounce of strength Inuyasha had to not react or reply to the moron's comments who followed him. He pushed by Kagome and Ayame who had just walked out the door, and headed down to the basement. Ayame shot Koga a dirty look as the two girls walked down to grab some of the boxes out of the U-haul.

Finally finished unloading, Kagome kept Inuyasha busy downstairs unpacking their things, figuring the best way to keep them from fighting was to keep him downstairs with her. Ayame bounced happily downstairs after a few hours, letting them know that dinner would be ready in a few minutes, then left as quick as she had come down.
"Well, we got some of it out of the way. At least we have all of our clothes and some of our mementos unpacked." Kagome noted, gazing at the pictures of her family and Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha at Big Bear placed on the dresser.
"Yeah, let's go eat." he muttered, making Kagome a little upset by the annoyed tone in his voice, and walking out of the bedroom.
"Yeah, sure, why not." she whispered to herself, following a fuming Inuyasha upstairs.

"So, why are you here dog breath? Get kicked out of that stone castle?" Koga smarted off as everyone began to eat the dinner Ayame prepared.
"wow, Ayame, you're a great cook." Kagome interrupted, trying desperately not to have them begin fighting, taking another big bite of the Chicken and Yellow rice.
"Thanks, it's usually just me and I'll eat out or something. I like cooking for other people, I'm glad that I have people to cook for now." she explained, smiling a nervous smile at Kagome. The tension was so thick you could slice it with a carving knife between Koga and Inuyasha.
"It's none of your God Damn business why I'm here, and no, I didn't get kicked out, I chose to leave." Inuyasha snapped, pushing the food around on his plate, his blood boiling through his veins.
The fighting had officially began. Koga, like the dumb ass that he is, decided to make Ayame cry by saying that he would claim Kagome as his and leave her, making Inuyasha furious and exploding in anger.
"GET OUT!!!!!!!!" Ayame screamed at them, "BOTH OF YOU!"
She slapped Koga, and went to her room in tears at what he had threatened. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, and then to Koga who had a handprint across his cheek.
"YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON! I DON'T KNOW YOU NOR DO I LIKE YOU! YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RUINING DINNER YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" yelled Kagome pointing her finger at him. She quickly pushed in her chair, and ran up the stairs to attempt to comfort Ayame.

******Yeah, as you can tell, I don't really care too much for Koga. He's an arrogant, self righteous jerk whose always trying to take Kagome away from Inuyasha. I don't really like that very well. LOL.. Sorry to those who like him. I mean, yeah, he's cool at times, but he always starts up with that "Kagome My Woman" like a caveman. Anyways. Sorry if it seems a little short, and I apologize for the delay. Hope you liked! As always Read and Review!
Ja~Ne!!!!!
