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

Kouga sat in at the back of his fathers newest club, in a small area he had reserved for him and his friends. He had convinced his father to buy this building and turn it into a club mainly cuz he wanted somewhere new to hang out and heck it wouldn't do much to his fathers bank account. His father really hadn't listened to what his son wanted to do, just asked how much it would cost and handed him a cheque. Kouga had conveniently asked him while he was busy working. Quite a clever idea if he did say so himself.

Currently he was waiting for a few friends to show up. He thought back to that afternoon and that girl he had bumped into. She had been rather good looking, but that hadn't been why he had asked her out. Actually there were a few reasons. First and foremost being that his father had told him that the next time he saw his son with a girl, it had better not be some dumb model. His father wanted him to settle down, find a nice girl, who doesn't care about his money or what he could do for his career, and get married. Yeah right, Kouga never wanted to settle down, well not yet anyway. He enjoyed being able to go from good-looking girl to good-looking girl without so mach as a care. The second reason he had asked her out had been the fact that she refused to open up to him. That was a first for him. Usually girls just threw their life stories and more at him when they found out who he was, in hopes of winning him over, or at least a date. But she hadn't, she said it was personal and she wouldn't tell him. This intrigued him, she was going to be a challenge. He liked a challenge. A smile spread across his lips.

His thoughts, however, were interrupted by a distinctly masculine voice. "What's with the look?" It said.

Kouga opened his eyes slowly to see who was talking to him. There stood a tall silver haired young man dressed in a red button up T-shirt and black jeans. His shirt wasn't done up, showing the white muscle shirt he was wearing underneath it. He had shocking amber eyes. An odd appearance, but no one ever asked. Standing next to him was a slightly shorter man who looked around the same age. He had short black hair pulled back into a little rat-tail at the back of his head and deep navy blue eyes. He was wearing an outfit similar to the other guy only his button up shirt was a dark navy, almost purple colour and his jeans were blue.

"Well?" The silver haired boy asked.

"It's nothing," Kouga said to the man. They were his two best friends Miroku and Inuyasha. They had an odd sort of friendship... well at least him and Inuyasha (the silver hair one) did. They had known each other basically their whole lives and got along for the most part, but they argued a lot. It was more of a brother type thing. You know, you love to make their life a living hell, but at the same time you know you'd do anything for them. Like I said, it was a odd friendship.

"I believe he's lying to us." Miroku said to Inuyasha, who sweatdropped.

"Don't you think I already knew that?" Inuyasha yelled shooting Miroku an angry look. "Keh, idiot."

Kouga smiled at his friends bickering. Things never changed.

"So, are you going to tell us the truth or are we going to have to guess it for ourselves?" Miroku asked sitting down next to his friend.

"Hmm..." Kouga said sarcastically. "Guess."

"Alright," Miroku said thoughtfully. "You... met a girl?"

Kouga nodded. God his friends knew him too well.

"A nice little blonde bimbo model, probably." Inuyasha added.

"Actually she's a redhead," Kouga corrected him, "And she's not a model, or at least she didn't say was. She works at the hotel I'm staying at while dads renovating the house."

"Oh," Miroku said suggestively. "Going for a maid this time are we?"

"A little extra service from house-keeping?" Inuyasha added.

"Well, what ever happens, happens, I guess." Kouga said cockily as he sipped the beer that he had ordered a while ago. As he set his drink back down on the table in front of him, something caught his eye. There were three girls at the edge of the dance floor near his little reserved section, each of them was dancing like mad. Not with a guy, but with each other. They were obviously friends. One girl had long brown hair pulled up into a high ponytail. She was wearing a sparkly pink top and a mini skirt. She had a huge smile on her face and her eyes were closed, showing her pink eye shadow. She's pretty hot, Kouga thought. He turned his gaze to the other that was somewhat facing him. She had long raven coloured hair swing loosely. She had on a blue tube top and black leather pants, both hugged her curved just right. She two was smiling, but her eyes were open showing her cocoa eyes. She's hotter!, He thought. He eyed the last one. She had her back to him so he couldn't really she her features as well. She had red hair that was very curly. She was wearing a light green halter dress that also hugged the curves of her slim figure. He really wished she'd turn around so he cold see was she looked like better.

"What are you..." Miroku started. He followed Kouga's gaze to the girls. "DAMN! They're hot!"

"What the hell are you two going on about?" Inuyasha asked, looking in the direction his friends were looking. His eyes went a little bit wider than usual.

Kouga kept on staring at the girls. Even when the raven haired one quickly glance towards him. To tell the truth, he really didn't notice. He was giving his full attention to the red head. He didn't know why but he was completely captivated by her. He needed to see her face.

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

"Hey Ayame, there's a guy totally checking you out!" Kagome squealed loud enough for her friend to hear.

"Really?" Ayame asked looking at her friend in disbelief. She really couldn't imagine a guy looking at her over Sango or Kagome. "Are you sure he's not looking at you or Sango?"

"Look for yourself," Kagome said, with a huge grin on her face.

Ayame gave her friend a doubtful look and began to do a slow twirl as she danced. As she spun she stole a quick glance up at the guy Kagome had been talking about. Her eyes went wide, but she continued to twirl, so that it wasn't obvious that she had spun around to look at him.

Kagome stopped grinning at the look on her friends' face. "What?" She asked giving her a concerned look.

"I-it...It's him." She choked.

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

Kouga choked on beer when he saw the girls' face as she did her little twirls. It was her! The girl from that afternoon. She looked so different with her hair curled. But it wasn't a bad different, in fact it made her look gorgeous! And that dress she wore, it just teased him. Hugging her every curve while being rather modest. His fascination with the girl doubled.

His friends had stopped staring when his friend choked. "Are you ok?" Miroku asked with mild concern.

"Yeah, fine..." Kouga said sitting back in the chair.

Miroku gave him a wary look and returned his gave to the girl. "Did you see the red haired girl?" Miroku asked, a perverted smile inching onto his face.

"Have on of the brunette," Kouga said, his gaze fixed on Ayame. "She's mine!"

"What? Sinse when do you stake claim on any one girl?" Inuyasha said with a snort.

"Sinse I asked her out this afternoon." Kouga said still staring at her intently.

"You mean... She the... Maid?" Miroku asked looking at the girl in amazement.

"Yes, she the maid... my maid," Kouga said a smirk growing on his lips.

"She's damn hot for a maid!" Miroku said in awe. Kouga threw him a dangerous look. "Hey hey! I'm just admiring a job well done!"

Kouga smirked getting up and heading towards the girls.

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

"HIM!?!" Kagome and Sango exclaimed in unison

"Yup, that Kouga." Ayame said smiling a little. She felt a sudden tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Kouga and two other guys she didn't know standing right behind her.

"Hello again," He said with a smirk plastered on his lips.

She smiled up at him. "Hello" She said. There was a moment of silence, broken by Sango clearing her throat rather loudly. Ayame turned to look at her friends who glared back at her, awaiting an introduction. "OH! These are my friends Kagome and Sango. Sango, Kags, this is Kouga, the guy I told you both about." The two girls smiled curtly but gave him critical looks.

"Nice to meet you both." Kouga said. He then stepped to the side a little, letting the girls see his two friends. "These are my friends Miroku and Inuyasha. Guys, this is Ayame."

"Nice to meet you." Ayame said with a smile.

Suddenly Miroku took Ayame by the hand. "It is an absolute pleasure to meet a lovely lady such as yourself."

Ayame looked at Kouga and then at Miroku, a little creeped out. "Uh... Thank you?"

"Will you bear my-" Kouga and Inuyasha both whacked Miroku on the back of the head before he could finish, sending him to the floor.

"Was he about to ask her what I think he was?" Sango asked as she and Kagome stepped forward a bit to protect their friend.

"Sadly," Kouga said with sigh, "yes"

Miroku suddenly jumped up and took Sango's hand this time. "Will you bear my child, dear lady Sango?"

Sango looked at him for a minute in absolute awe. She took her hand out of his grasp and swiftly brought it across his face leaving a distinct red imprint of her hand. "HENTAI!" She screamed. Only her two friends noticed the small blush on her cheeks.

Kouga and Inuyasha grabbed Miroku and pushed him behind them before he had a chance to even approach the one girl he hadn't asked yet. "Sorry about him," Kouga said to Sango apologetically. "He asks every girl that he meets that. You'd think that he'd get a clue after all the slaps and punches he's gotten."

Kagome and Ayame giggled a little, Sango was still in shock from what had just happened. The fact that her blush still hadn't gone away only increased to humour of this situation.

The song that had been playing changed to a slow song. Kouga saw this as an opportunity to see just how much of a challenge this girl was going to be. "Would you like to dance?" He asked holding a hand out to Ayame.

This snapped Sango out of la-la-land. She and Kagome looked at Kouga and Ayame. They didn't like him. Well, it wasn't that he had been rude or anything to them, it was just the way he held himself. He seemed like a womaniser, then again so did his friends. But they weren't going to judge. The last time they judged a guy they had been completely off and it all went badly for Ayame. So they'd sworn off judging a guy before they got to know him.

"I'd love to," Ayame said giving her purse to Sango and taking his hand.

They all stood there, watching Kouga lead Ayame to the heart of the dance floor. Once the two were out of sight Miroku stepped in front of Sango and Kagome. "Would either of you care to dance?" He asked holding out a hand.

The girls looked at each other then back to the man in front of them. "No," they said together.

"I think we'll just wait for Ayame to come back," Sango said turning to go and find a table, Kagome doing the same.

"Well then why don't you two join us over there?" Inuyasha said pointing to the small reserved section that they had come from. "Kouga has it reserved for him and his friends."

Kagome and Sango eyed the small section of the club. They hadn't seen anywhere else to sit. They both shrugged and headed towards it, closely followed by Miroku and Inuyasha.

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

Kouga finally stopped in the middle of the dance floor and pulled Ayame close to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist. She put her arms around his neck. They began to dance to the slow tempo of the song. After a minute of dancing, Kouga slowly moved his hand lower.

Maybe this isn't going to be as much of a challenge as I thought...

His hands finally stopped on her butt. Her arms promptly left his neck and her hands clasped around his. She pulled them back up to her back.

Or, maybe will be...

"If you plan on having more than one date with me Kouga, you should know that I don't respond very well to things like that... I'm not a whore so touchy feely." She said as she put her arms back around his neck.

oh yeah, definitely a challenge.

Kouga smiled. "Just checking," He said playfully and continued to dance.

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

"Would you like one?" Inuyasha asked as he pulled two Smirnoff bottles out of a small cooler beside him and handed one to Miroku.

"I would," Kagome said. Inuyasha handed her the one in his hand and pulled out another.

"Lady Sango?" Miroku offered.

"No, I'm driving," She said. "Have anything without alcohol?"

"Let's see," Inuyasha said looking in the cooler. He pulled out a can of Pepsi. "We have this... I'm not exactly sure how long it's been in there though..."

"That's fine," Sango said taking the can and opening it. She took a small sip, it didn't taste tinny or flat, so she deemed it safe for drinking. "So... How old are you guys?" She asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Kouga and me are both 25, Inuyasha is only 24. His birthdays not for another month." Miroku explained. "You?"

"We're all 23." Kagome said sipping her drink.

"Do you live on your own?" Miroku asked coolly.

"Well, me and Kags share and apartment. Ayame live with her grandpa at his house." Sango said drinking her Pepsi.

"She's 23 and she lives at home?" Inuyasha snorted. The two girls gave him death glares. "What?"

"She was supposed to move in with us, but things came up and she had to stay." Kagome explained, still glaring at him.

"What kinda things?" Inuyasha asked.

"Personal things," Ayames voice came from in front of them. She and Kouga had finished dancing and had come to hang out with their friends. Ayame was glaring at her friends, who both shrank into their seats. They knew that she didn't like people to know about what had happened.

"Uh.... Ayame...." Kagome said nervously, looking around for some means of escape from this awkward situation. "Heh heh...How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough..." Ayame said still giving them an icy look.

"Did we miss something?" Miroku asked looking back and forth between the two frantic looking girls and the very angry looking one.

"Forget it." Ayame said, taking a seat beside Kagome.

"Oh, look at the time!" Sango said looking down at her watch. It really wasn't all the late, it was only quarter to twelve. She just really wanted to get away from Miroku. He had been staring at her since they had sat down, and it was really creeping her out! "We really should be going..."

"Sango, it's not even midnight yet..." Kagome whined, she really wanted to stay. She was actually enjoying herself. She really liked this Inuyasha guy. His hair looked so soft and his eyes... she just drowned in his eyes. And he really didn't see all that bad, not at all like Miroku who was obviously a pervert.

"I know, but it'll take an hour to get Ayame home and then go home ourselves. Besides, we don't wants the big guy getting worried, do we Ayame?" She asked giving Ayame a desperate look.

Ayame sighed. "I guess not. I should probably go home and check on him..." She said getting up.

"Who's 'the big guy'?" Kouga asked, thinking it was some other guy that she was with. As that thought hit him, he felt something he hadn't really ever felt before... jealousy? It couldn't be... why should he be jealous. He had been with girls that had other guys before, why should he be jealous over some simple maid?

"My grandfather," Ayame said smiling. "He's a big worry wart, even though I always leave a note telling where I am."

"Oh," Kouga said, feeling extremely relieved.

"Well, lets get going." Sango said, practically pushing her friends towards the exit.

"We're going, we're going! Geeze Sango no need to push," Kagome said getting up. "It was nice meeting you all."

"I'll see you tomorrow night Kouga." Ayame said taking her purse and allowing herself to be pushed towards the exit.

the boys waved goodbye to the three girls.

"So, you reckon she'll be just like all the others?" Miroku questioned his friend.

"Oh no... This ones definitely going to be a challenge," Kouga smirked. This was going to be interesting.
