"Hello?" Miroku answered his phone.
"Hey, there." Sango's cheerful voice came from the other end.
"Ah Sango, it's a pleasure to hear your lovely voice." He said.
"Stop..." Sango said, blushing. "Really, we need to talk business here. We must get Kouga and Ayame back together and fast! I presume you've heard about what happened last night."
"Yeah, Kouga told me and Inuyasha last night at V6 as he drunk his worries away." Miroku said solemnly. "He's really upset..."
"So is Ayame, she spent all morning here crying her eyes out. She feels horrible about what she did." Sango said sadly.
"Really?" Miroku said sounding shocked.
"Yeah, you know she did go out there, just after he left." Sango informed him.
"Oh man..." Miroku said, getting more depressed about his friends situation by the minute.
"Yeah... anyways, I have a plan." She said, brightening slightly.
"Another one?" Miroku questioned.
"Yes another one!" She said. "Ok, I need you to get Kouga to go to the bridge at Melbourne Park (A/N: I just made that park name up, I have no idea what any of the smaller parks in New York are called... im a Canadian remember, ive been to buffalo and Niagara falls in new York state, but that's it!) At 7 ok?"
"Uh, sure I'll try." He said, trying to think of a way to get Kouga there.
"And by try you mean, YOU WILL." Sango said determinedly. This plan had to work. "Make sure he's there alone."
"Will do."
"Good, meet me there around 6:45 ok?" She said.
"Alright, I'll see you then."
"Bye."
"Bye."

"What the hell do you want Miroku?" Kouga's annoyed voice came.
"Hey, how you holding up?" Miroku asked his friend, ignoring the rude hello.
There was a moment of silence. "What the hell do you want Miroku?" Kouga asked again, his voice more annoyed than before.
"Can't a guy just call up his friend to see how he's doing?" Miroku asked sounding hurt. There was complete silence on the other end. Miroku sighed. "Meet me and Inuyasha at the bridge in Melbourne Park tonight at 7 alright?"
"Why?" Kouga's less than enthusiastic voice came.
"Because we have to talk to you about something." Miroku explained.
"Why don't you just tell me now and save me some gas money?" Kouga stated.
"Because... because..." Miroku racked his brain for a reason but found none. "Just meet us there alright. You'll see why when you get there."
Kouga sighed dejectedly. "Fine..." He said boredly.
"Great, see you then." Miroku said hanging up the phone.

"Hello?" Ayame said as she put the portable phone to her ear.
"Hey Ayame, are you working tonight?" Kagome asked.
"Uh... no, I'm not, we didn't have many reservations so Jacques flying solo with a chef in training." Ayame said, remembering the conversation she had had with he boss the night before. "Mr. Walkins thinks it would be good for me to take a personal day after what happened last night..."
"I see..." Kagome said smiling to herself. "Ok, so since your not working, how about you meet me and Sango at the Bridge in Melbourne Park at 7-ish?"
"What for?" Ayame asked.
"Oh just to hang out, girls night, you know?"
"Sure," Ayame said brightly, welcoming the idea.
"Great! We'll see you then!" Kagome chirped happily.
"See ya!" Ayame sang.

Kouga walked through Melbourne Park towards the spot Miroku had told him to meet him. Earlier he had had every intention on not going, but something kept nagging at him, telling him that he should go. For some reason he got the feeling that something more than what Miroku had mentioned was going to happen if he went there that night.
Ayame walked through the park as well; she too had an odd feeling about that night. For some reason she got the feeling that Sango and Kagome were up to something, which undoubtedly they were. She knew them well enough to know that much. She just hoped that what ever it was, it wasn't a bad thing. Ayame crossed her arms pulling her jacket tighter around her, holding in the warmth her own body provided on this cool October evening. She was wearing some dark blue jeans and a light sweater, which was covered by a jacket that was dark brown with patches separated by white curly faux fur. Her hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail at the base of her skull so that her hair would drape over her ears, keeping them somewhat warm.
Kouga was wearing his hair in the usual fashion, up in a high ponytail. He was wearing a dark brown knitted sweater with a black stripe across the chest. He had on black jeans and his regular running shoes. He shoved his hands in his pockets as he neared the bridge. He looked up from the ground to see if Miroku or Inuyasha were there yet. He never expected to see what he did at that moment.
Ayame was approaching the bridge. She was looking at the ground in front of her as she neared the bridge from the opposite direction. He stopped dead in his tracks, taking in a sharp breath. She looked beautiful. He loved the way her nose was slightly tinted red from the harsh, cold wind against her pale face.
She glanced up, her eyes making contact with his for a mere second before looking back down at the ground. Suddenly she halted, her head jerking up as she stared at him. Her heart began to pound in her chest, causing her to take deep breaths.
They stood there just staring at one another for the longest time, neither of them daring to move. Ayame's eye began to well up with tears and she began to tremble. Kouga wanted to rush over to her and hold her and comfort her but he knew that if he did that she would push him away. He needed to take things slowly
He took a deep breath and slowly stepped one-foot forward, causing Ayame to inhale sharply. "Ayame..." He started, reaching out a hand to her as he slowly began to walk to her.
She took a step back, her eyes portraying her uncertainty. She didn't know whether she should run away and not look back like her brain was telling her to, or whether she should jump into his arms and apologize for everything. She began to shake even more as he drew nearer.
"Ayame..." He called out to her again, getting closer to her with each passing moment. He just needed to get to her, if he could get close enough to touch her he knew everything work out.
She let out a soft sob as he got across the bridge, only a few paces away from her.
'So close...' He thought and he took another step.
The tears began to roll down her face. Slowly, she took a few steps back before turning and beginning to walk back the way she had came.
"No! Ayame, wait!" He called running up to her and grabbing her arm, pulling her to him. "Please Ayame, let me explain. I know what I did was stupid, just please listen to me, I love you, please-"
"Stop..." She said softly, averting her eyes. Kouga looked down at her, not letting go of her arm. "I don't need to hear your explanation, it happened and there's nothing either of us can do to change that. I'm sorry that I left the way I did, but you have to understand, I was angry and upset. The truth is, I'm not sure if I would have accepted the offer like I did if it hadn't been for what happened. But I did, and I know that hurt you, so we're even."
Kouga blinked, not sure what to say to that. "Ayame..." He whispered, searching for something to say.
"I loved you Kouga." She stated, finally looking at him, her jade eyes baring into his azure ones. "And you know what? I... still do. But..." She shook her head, looking for the right words.
"But what?" He asked wanting to know what he had to fix for things to work between them.
"But, I don't know if I can trust that it won't happen again." She said sadly, looking at the ground as a few stray tears rolled down her rosy cheeks.
Kouga took her cheeks in his hands, brushing away the tears and lifting her head so he could look her in the eyes. "Ayame, I never want to be with anyone else but you, I swear on everything I hold dear to me. I love you with all my heart, and I always will, no matter what. I would spend the rest of my days miserable if I don't have you by my side Ayame."
Ayame took in a deep breath as the tears in her eyes began to spill uncontrollably at his little speech. She could tell by the look in his eyes that he was one hundred percent sincere with his words. She felt like she was going to explode from the joy she was feeling at moment. She choked on her tears as she buried her face into his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Kouga smiled and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her possessively to him, never wanting to let go.
"I love you so much," she choked out, half laughing half crying. "I don't think I could live without you..." She pulled back from his chest and looked up at him, his blue eyes devouring her. She leaned up and kissed him, issuing all the love she felt for him into that one kiss, which he returned with just as much emotion. They pulled back from the kiss and she laid her head back onto his chest. They both sighed contently, happy to be back in each other's arms.
Sango smiled at the sight before her. Neither she nor Kagome had heard anything so romantic in their lives. She, Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha had been hiding in a nearby bush to see how things played out. She turned to look at her boyfriend, her eyes twinkling in the moonlight. She leaned forward and pressed a small kiss on his lips. When she pulled back they simply smiled at each other as her put an arm around her, pulling her closer to him.
Kagome was so happy for her friend that she turned to Inuyasha and threw her arms around him giving him a peck on the cheek. As soon as both of them realized what had just happened, they shot apart from each other, blushing furiously.
Ayame sighed happily, looking up at the sky above them, still embracing Kouga. She saw one star shoot across the sky and closed her eyes, making a wish. She wished, for a long and happy life with the man she loved. She smiled. She had fallen for the guy in room 1346, and she couldn't be happier about it.
