Night of the Wolf
13. Confronting

Of course everyone knows that you can't just go head-to-head with you rival, especially if it's your first one. So me and the guys set up a plan. It was pretty simple, or so I thought. Things really are easier said than done.
In order to have Ayame truly believe that I wasn't going after Kouga we would have to have her believe that Naraku and I have, well, mated. This was all mainly Sesshoumaru's idea and Naraku obviously had nothing against it since he thought he was going to be able to move near me. Sadly, he was terribly mistaken. But Sesshoumaru kept informing me that Ayame would think otherwise if she couldn't smell Naraku on me. And by on me he was referring more like in me.
But when I tried to kiss him it was no use. Not only because everyone was staring but mainly because it was simply wrong. I felt as if Kouga was watching me and he would be deeply disappointed if I did kiss Naraku. Strange as it sounds it's how I felt. This bond thing keeps getting stronger by day and this burning need inside me desires Kouga desperately. I just keep pondering to myself how Kouga is handling this, unlike me, he is the one who has to put up with a bitch who wants to sex him up.
But at last I gave in. Given that the house is an enormous one, we, meaning Naraku and me, went to the other side of the house where no one can hear, smell, or peek in on what we were doing. I couldn't believe I had to do this in order to get Kouga back, but it was a risk I was willing to take. I just hope that this risk doesn't give Kouga the wrong impression.

Naraku and I had been in the 'bedroom' for almost an hour and we did nothing but stare. He knew I was doing this for Kouga so I'm guessing it made it even harder on him than it did on me since I would be thinking about Kouga through the whole..session.
After another passing hour I finally gave in and kissed Naraku. Of course, since he wanted this more than I did he easily gave in to me and lost himself in the kiss. When I opened my eyes to make sure that this wasn't Kouga I pulled away.
I couldn't do it.
It wasn't right and it wasn't fair to Naraku. I was merely using him.
"Naraku, I…there has to be another way. As you can see, I can't go through with this."
He sighed heavily and stood from the bed watching me. I observed how he was looking at me. His eyes looked deeply into mine for a second, then went downwards towards the wooden floor. Then his moderately open eyes widened when he glanced over my shoulder. He couldn't tear his eyes from whatever it was that he was looking at and his mouth moved but he spoke no words. I turned to see what had caught his eye and I froze the instant I saw those green familiar eyes.
It was her.
Ayame.
She had found us, knew where we were, was watching us and surprising as it is she did nothing. And during this all, I bet she was laughing. But how much had she seen? And how come I hadn't sensed her or even Naraku?
Just then Sango and the others barged into the room.
"Kagome, we saw Aya--"
Either we were all scared out of our wits or were extremely happy to see Ayame floating outside the bedroom window. She had a malevolent smirk plastered on her lips and her glimmering eyes were settled on me.
With a snap of her fingers the window was shattered open and the person I least expected jumped in.
Kouga.
I wanted to embrace him with every bit of strength I had but I knew I couldn't in front of Ayame. I wanted to weep for being able to just see Kouga one again. Probably it was only me but I was the only one who found nothing wrong with Kouga. I thought he was here to claim his undying love for me and get at last rid of that Ayame.
Naraku stepped in front of me protecting me from something that I neglected to see. It was Kouga. He wasn't himself. Just as Naraku was protecting me, he was protecting Ayame. I couldn't contain myself when I saw her all over him and worst of all he was enjoying it.
"Just came to see how you were doing. You seem happy with that thing." Ayame stated meaning Naraku as the thing. "I told you Kouga. She doesn't care the least about you, and you saw it with your own eyes. They were practically all over each other."
She was admiring her nails as she spoke and I saw as Kouga did nothing but glare but then smirked and he pulled Ayame closer to him as he wrapped his arm around her waist. He was an obedient dog. He did nothing but obey her. Just as Naraku had done so under her manipulation.
I gritted my teeth and launched at Ayame, but before I could sink a claw on her Kouga got in my way. His eyes were blank and he heard nothing but Ayame's voice. I lost him again, I whispered.
"This is a waist of our valuable time. As you can see now, Kouga is mine. Just thought you should see it with your own eyes before jumping to conclusion and begin calling me a liar." She waved and with one snap Kouga was behind her pursuing her out the window. He took a quick glance over his shoulder and winked.
I was positive that I saw him wink but I kept it to myself since I was the only one who noticed. But what did it mean?
I felt it. I hadn't lost him after all. I was aware of it when he jumped out the window. He smiling inside. He had deceived all of us , especially Ayame.
"Kagome, are you allright?" Naraku said.
"I'm fine."
I turned and couldn't help myself from grin. Not surprisingly everyone thought I had lost it save for Sesshoumaru. He was wise. And to my amazement he knew what I was thinking and new exactly what my plan was now. He nodded in approval.
"Very well. These two have some 'business' to take care of." Sesshoumaru affirmed while he pushed Miroku and Sango out the bedroom with him They left uncertain but I signaled a thumbs up and they shrugged it off.
I faced Naraku and saw the he was still puzzled with everything that had just occurred. I seized his hand and guided him out the same window Ayame had taken. He didn't question me until we were outside walking out of Sesshoumaru's garden.
"Kagome?"
The smile never faded from my lips. I felt determined, strong and relentless.
"Kouga is mine and mine only." It was the best answer I could give him and I guess he understood. He took my hand and we strolled out of Sesshoumaru's property and were on our way to Kouga's mansion. If I knew what Kouga had planned, then he would have Ayame there. He would have her there ready for me to take her on. Just as I had something up my sleeve he had something as well.

"Are you sure about this?"
"Positive."
About half way there we went on all fours to pick up the pace. There was someone guarding the gate but the instant he saw us we tried to hide except he caught up to us. Naraku was about to launch at him but the guy was more scared of us than we were of him.
He explained to us that he was expecting us and that Kouga had formulated a plan that included us. He was expecting us as well. The guy, whose name was Ginta, guided us through a secret underground hallway which led straight to Kouga's room.
"But what are we supposed to do here?" I asked.
" Not sure. Kouga just informed me about leading you in here. He said that the rest is up to you. You'll know what to do."
And with that the cowardly Ginta left us alone. Naraku looked around and I merely laid in Kouga's bed. I guess we're suppose to wait.
