Chapter 8: You're not serious!
Kagome and Sango exchanged a baffled glance then hid smiles by lowering their heads. Sesshoumaru—the Ice Prince—was indeed cowed. His embarrassment in acting loving and adoring towards Kagura wasn't a light thing. Kagome suddenly realized she could use his feelings for her to manipulate him. He was a smitten kitten—or pup, she supposed. (A/N: I love cats! Down with dogs! Although...puppies are adorable, damn!)
Kagura walked out of the door and Kagome saw that Sesshoumaru was waiting for her. She leaned into him with a forgiving kiss and Sesshoumaru's eyes lit up with pleasure and lust. Kagome giggled and buried her face into Sango's shoulder. Ayame glanced over, a slight frown crossing her features then she understood and her eyes sparkled with mischief. Letting out a very professional wolf whistle Ayame mortified the kissing couple. "I thought the door was shut!" mouthed Kagura to Sesshoumaru; he shrugged and stroked her chin gently before turning to leave them. "I want you out of my room and in a new one immediately," he called over his shoulder.
Kagura rolled her eyes and called back, "Whatever, love." Ayame strode over and asked politely, "Lady, where should we put the—er—'prisoners'?" Kagura smiled, "Let's cause some naughtiness. Put them in the middle of our young Lord Hanyou and the wolf cousins; but don't worry about Kouga, I'll keep him in line Ayame." Ayame lowered her head and nodded sadly.
With a slight twist in her mouth Ayame replied, "Oh, don't worry. I'm stupid, but I'm not that stupid. We're thru; I've had enough of his idiotic competitive nature. So...the garden room?" Kagura nodded, "That does seem accurate." She turned to the silent pair and asked slyly, "Are you coming into heat soon?"
The pair reddened and didn't answer, but Kagura knew the answer. "Excellent!" Seeing the dubious looks they were shooting at her and understanding their discomfort she explained. "The garden room is exactly what it sounds, its like a garden, just add some beds, and more comfort. Let's get going, the sooner you move in the better."
Sango stood up indignantly, "Are you serious? Everyone knows that floral smells enhance a youkai's scent! There'll be utter chaos!" Kagura shot her a cool look and a raised eyebrow. "Do you have a dilemma with me teasing the men?" The three girls all developed evil looks and a silent agreement went up.
Kagura yawned lazily, "I'm going for a ride in the skies. I trust you'll behave for Ayame? Perfect. I'll check up on you later, mes chères prisonnières." (Don't know if I spelt that right, lol. My French is very rusty.) Kagura departed and Ayame took charge. "Let's go," she said with anticipation. She bounded along with pleasure with an equally cheerful Kagome and Sango. Kagome sniffed delicately and detected hints of all four males in the vicinity. The other two smelt it and hurried.
They seemed to be holding a meeting or something. But before the girls could hear what they were saying they detected their scent. The room fell deathly quiet as the girls paused, bowed mockingly and then entered the opposite room. Kouga twitched with unease and whispered, "They're up to something. And did you get a load of Kagome? Man, she's hot!" This started a silent but effective round of swipes with Inuyasha.
Ayame struggled to hold in a fresh batch of tears as she had been the one listening at the door while the Southern girls made themselves comfortable. Kagome noticed her agitation and gave her a questioning look. Ayame tried for a smile but failed horribly and her tears proceeded to burst out in a fresh flood. "Kouga," she managed to choke out and then she just grabbed control of her emotions and slammed them down. "I'm okay," she said as her tears vanished and she steadied her voice.
Kagome felt a shatter in her calm disposition, "That pompous ass!" She brushed past Ayame and out the door into the room of four male youkai and she attacked Kouga with all she had. Kouga—completely caught of guard—managed to whirl wind away. "What're ya doin' Kagome!" he demanded. Kagome snarled and shouted, "Bastard! How dare you hurt Ayame's feelings! I swear I'm going to rip another hole in your ass!" The other three struggled to keep their laughter in check.
Remember Kagome's tantrum in chapter 1? Well, this is kinda like that. Before any of them realized it she had shredded almost all of their clothes, scratched up their faces and slammed their heads together in an innocent seeming pause during her attack. It was almost amazing how she unconcernedly walked out and nonchalantly sauntered back to her new 'prison'.
Sango didn't seem bothered but Ayame was astounded. "How did you do that?" she asked awestruck. Kagome smiled and said, "Aw, that was just one of my tantrums. Are you feeling better?" Ayame started to laugh and then finally she answered, "Yeah, I'm feeling much better." That ended their cool attitude; all three of them laughed until their sides were sore and tears streamed down their eyes.
Sango, after gaining her breath back commented calmly, "You know, I could almost get to like this room..." And so begins the test of strength, wits and determination of the males vs. females. Good luck.
Alright, I know this chapter is really short, but don't worry. I'm adding another chapter tomorrow. Patience my friends, patience.
