Kouga had called late Sunday night saying he's pick Ayame up around 8pm the following night to see a movie. He didn't say what movie though. Now it was Monday evening, and Ayame was bored out of her mind. She hadn't seen Kouga at the hotel, mainly because Sango refused to let her clean his room saying something about if she got caught with one of the visitors, she'd be fired. So now all she could do was hope to see him on an elevator or pass him in a hallway or the front lobby. Which as of yet, hadn't happened. Stupid rules. Around 6pm Ayame got tired of waiting for 8 o'clock to roll around and called Kagome and Sangos apartment, hoping that maybe, just maybe, they could provide some mild entertainment and make the time go faster (A/N: Talk about run-on sentences whew! comma crazy!). The phone rang about 6 times before she heard a click and Kagomes voice.
'Sorry, we're not in right now. Leave a message or call back later. Chow!' "Aaarg!" Ayame cried out of frustration. "Hey guys, its me. Call me back if your home before 8, if not don't bother. Talk to ya later." She hung up. Giving one more exasperated cry she stormed upstairs to rethink her outfit for tonight.

7:00 pm

Ayame looked at her appearance in the mirror. She had just finished putting her hair into low braided pigtails, hoping that it would make time go faster. It did for a while, and then she finished and was in the same predicament she was an hour ago. She had decided that her outfit was indeed perfect for tonight and had laid it out on her bed. She decided since it was starting to get rather cool out at night with autumn quickly approaching, that she'd wear a nice light purple muscle shirt, her new jeans and would bring her new hoodie just in case. She looked at the clothes on her bed and back to the mirror. After a few minutes of repeating the pointless action, Ayame stood up and went downstairs to the kitchen where here grandpa was busy looking for something to eat. "Want me to make you something, gramps?" She asked in a cheery tone.
"Sure," the big guy answered, bringing his head out of the refrigerator as he closed it.
"What would you like?" She asked going into chef mode.
"Surprise me..." He said giving her a pat of the back and going back to the living room.
"Can do." She chirped merrily.

7:45

She brought the plate into the living room and handed it to her grandfather. "Mmmm... Tuna my favourite." He said as she gave him a small peck on the cheek. "Be sure to eat the veggies as well," Ayame said in a stern tone. She had become a bit of a health freak since her grandfather became sickly. Of course he hated it, and he didn't particularly like to eat the vegetables she gave him but he knew better than to argue with his temperamental, redheaded granddaughter. He nodded. She looked at her watch. "Alright, I have to go get ready."
She ran up the stairs a quickly changed. Once dressed she put on some sparkly purple eye shadow and her favourite lip-gloss. She grabbed her purse, which she had gotten ready hours earlier, and headed downstairs just on time to hear the doorbell ring. She smiled and opened the door. She froze at what she saw.
Kouga was standing there, and so was Riku. They must have been arguing or something because the looked like they were about to tear each others throats out. Ayame could have sworn she heard them growling.
"Ahem..." She cleared her throat loudly, snapping the boy out of their death glare match. "Riku what are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to you grandpa about work." Riku replied, still eyeing Kouga out of the corner of his eyes. Ayame sighed. "He's in the living room." She stepped aside, letting Riku pass. Riku gave Kouga one last dirty look and walked into the house. Ayame turned in the direction Riku had gone. "I'm going now Pops!" She called as se walked out the door.
She turned to look at Kouga. He still looked angry he gave her a smile. "Ready to go?" He asked.
"Sure am!" She said merrily as the turned and walked to his car. Once they were both in the Prowler, Ayame looked at Kouga as her put the car in reverse and pulled out of the driveway. "So what movie are we seeing?" She asked.
"You'll see when we get there." He said, smirking rather evilly.
The look scared Ayame quite a bit, but she ignored it hoping it wasn't anything bad. They pulled up to the giant theatre and went to buy the tickets. "Two for Exorcist: The Beginning please." Kouga said to the teenager selling tickets. The boy nodded and entered the order into the computer. Ayame's eyes bulged. A horror movie, great, just what she needed. She was such a wimp when it came to horror movies. Somehow Sango had made her sit through the remake of the original Exorcist; she couldn't sleep for days after. The teen boy handed Kouga the tickets, but not before he saw the look on Ayame's face and began sniggering. Kouga put an arm around her waist and pulled her towards the consetion stand to buy drinks and popcorn.
"Your not afraid of scary movies are you?" Kouga said with a sly grin as he took in the look on the red heads face.
Ayame gulped. "N-no..." She said weakly.
"Don't worry, I'll be right beside you if you get too scared." He chuckled.
She shot him a dry look. "I'm guessing that was the plan."

After the Movie

They came out of the dark theatre and headed back to the car. Ayame was pale as could be and was clinging to Kouga's arm like there was no tomorrow, turning her knuckles as white as possible. "Good movie eh?" Kouga said as they walked out into the parking lot. Ayame just nodded her eye still bulged. "Come on it wasn't that scary was it?" Ayame shot him a dirty look. "Alright, alright I'm sorry, no more scary movies."
Ayame managed to get out a meek little 'thank you' before getting into the car. Kouga drove Ayame home and walked her to the door. "Ayame?" Kouga asked.
"Yeah?" She said looking up at him.
"My dads having some big fancy ball on Saturday and I was wonder if you'd like to go with me to it." He said smoothly. "You can bring your two friends with you if you like, as long as they don't mind being Inuyasha and Miroku's dates."
Ayame smiled somewhat evilly. "I'd love to, and so would Sango and Kagome." "Great, I'll send a limo to pick you guys up at 7 on Saturday." Kouga said, leaning over and giving her a small kiss on the lips.
"Ok, I'll you Saturday then..." She said dreamily. She opened the door and walked inside waving goodbye "See ya then." Kouga said turning and walking back to his car. Ayame closed the door and went up stairs.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"WHAT!?!?!" Sango screeched the next day after work. "I said, we're going to a ball on Saturday and Miroku and Inuyasha are your dates." Ayame repeated herself.
"It's not that big of a deal Sango..." Kagome said.
"Easy for you to say! You get to go with Inuyasha not some creepy pervert!" Sango yelled.
"Miroku wasn't that bad!" Kagome said defensively. "Besides, it's so obvious you like him!"
"I-What-I-I do n-not!" Sango stuttered.
"It is pretty obvious Sango," Ayame said timidly.
"Fine, believe what you want!" Sango huffed.
"So you're going?" Ayame asked.
"I guess so," Sango sighed in defeat.
"Great!" Kagome exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and looping her arms around her two best friends. "You know what this means don't you girls?" Sango and Ayame shook their heads no. "SHOPPING!!" Kagome squealed dragging her friends toward the nearest mall.

I know, I know, its short but i want the shopping expirence to be a chapter on its own or part of one at least.

I should point out one thing. I haven't see the Exorsist: the Beginning but i have seen the remake of the original Exorsist and i knoe the original really isnt all tha scary and i have no idea if this new one is, i just found it on the famous players website. it was the first scary movie i saw. i would have had some old scary movie ive actually seen before but i realized that if they're going to one of those big cinimas and sinse ive already said a current movie (Princess Diaries 2 which i have seen and loved), i should stick with the current ones.

im sorry it took so long to get this out. its now friday... like i said before i was really just winging this chapter so (a) thats why its short and (b) thats why it took so long cuz i could only come up with so much each time.

ok the next one should be out in the next few days. there may be a few next week due to the fact i will be desperatly clinging to my last week of freedom. either there will be alot or a little cuz i have alot of Back 2 School shopping to do and i have to get my hair done (i always change it when its b2s time) and i swimming thing with friends to do. my guess there will be alot towards the end of the week.

oh and i drew a picture of Ayame in her uniform. the link in in my profile if anyone wants to check it out.

Next chapter: Shopping Time!
