Ayame's had sudden rose from it's place to her side and slapped Inuyasha across the face. Inuyasha was shocked. Never had Ayame done anything like this. What the hell was wrong with her Inuyasha wondered. "No Inuyasha, new's flash to you. You think you can go around and forget who you are with a change of clothes? You think you can change the way you think with contacts in? News flash Inuyasha, that's not how the human body works." Tears spilled over Ayame's cheeks as she spoke. "Inuyasha, I want you to take a look at reality and see how far you are from reaching where I stand."
Inuyasha took his hand and put it on his red cheek. The two stared at eachother in silence. Ayame's eyes were buring with fire, and over flowing with tears. Ayame shook her head violently, then turned around quickly and walked away. Down the road, and out of his view.
Inuyasha stared ahead. Was new clothes and a look worth losing a best friend? Or was losing a best friend worth new clothes and a look? "I don't need her." Inuyasha told himself. "I never needed her. I'll be fine the way I am, without her. If she can't be happy for me for just one little thing then to hell with her. It's not like she's my life line anyway."

Inuyasha stomped through the mall, back to where he had left Kagome. His blood was boiling but he was trying his best to clam down, slowly, but atleast he was trying. Kagome's head rose as she watched Inuyasha silently go and pick up the shopping bags. "Where's Ayame?" She asked.
"Can we just go? I'm tired of shopping." Inuyasha muttered, ajusting the bags in his hand. Kagome watched Inuyasha's finger's squeeze the bags string's tight, then let go alittle. It was his way of fidgeting with things in his hand.
"Yeah, sure. If your sure." Kagome pushed herself up from the seat and through the wrapping's and cups from their drinks away in a close by dumpster.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Inuyasha watched Kagome walk past him, then he followed. Kagome had to keep looking back to see if Inuyasha was still following her. He was so silent, and his eyes were glazed over like they had been when she had to pick her job in Life studies class.
The silence continued as they reached Kagome's car. Inuyasha put the bags in the back, then hopped into the passenger seat. Kagome slipped into the driver's seat, putting her key in the ignition and pulling out of the driveway.
"Where do you want to go now?" Kagome asked as she turned onto the road.
"What, your my chauffer now?" Inuyasha asked. Irraration was in his voice, and his eye's showed anger.
"I just want to know where you want to go, that's all. Maybe, back to school? Since that's your favouite place to be." Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. He was facing the window on his right so she couldn't see his face, nor his emotions.
"That is the last place I want to go." Was his simple reply.
"I'm guessing your talk with Ayame didn't go exactly as you had planned?" Kagome kept her eyes on the road.
"...She hates me. She think's I've changed." Kagome was surprised on how quick his voice had gone from angry to quiet, like a scared child.
"Hate is a strong word. How long have you two been friends?"
"Since she broke up with Kouga. And you started dating him."
Kagome winced at the memory. Yes, she remembered that day. The most painful and horrifing thing to happen to a girl, infront of everyone, happened to Ayame. And it didn't help matter's that Kagome was the cause of the problem.
"Ayame had been crying. I didn't expect her to answer me when I asked what was wrong. I thought she would yell at me but she didn't." Inuyasha shrugged. "She asked me if I could keep a secret. Then when I said yes, she said 'Life's a bitch. Don't tell a soul.'" Inuyasha laughed alittle. "And just like that, boom, we were friends."
"You've been friends for four years. It wont end this quickly." Kagome tried to reasurre him.
"Yeah, but who's to say?" Inuyasha reached up and touched his still sore cheek.
"Who's to say?"
At Kizuna
"Where's Kagome? I want to make sure were still going to that club tonight." Miroku and the other's exchanged glances not sure if they should tell Kouag the truth of the matter.
"Well, it's a no brainer. Of course Serene's going..." Sango said after a silence.
"But she may be bringing someone with her." Kagura finished.
"Who? Another fine women to be around moi?" Kouga smirked, showing off his white canines.
"No.. a man. To my dismay." Miroku sighed.
"It's okay Miroku, you can still go after the guy. He might reject you though, and if he does we can go to my place, eat some ice cream and paint each other's toe nails." Sango grinned at the glare Miroku scent her way.
Kouga stared at Miroku, his brain clicking like a clock. "Do not tell me she's bringing that little loser.."
"We technically, he isn't a loser anymore. He's kind of cute." Kagura interrupted.
"Dog freak? Inurasha or something?" Kouga finished.
"Yeah Kouga, Kagome's bringing Inuyasha." Miroku offered the name. The group watched the look of pure hatred flash in Kouga's sea blue eye's. He narrowed them, not believing his girlfriend would invite that thing to go with them to the club.
"Well if Kagome can invite some nobody, then so can I." Kouga walked past the group smirking his mischevious smirk.
"Who Kouga?" Kagura asked the man as he pushed the cafeteria door open.
"A certain little wolf demon." Was all he said as he disappeared out of the room.

"The beach?" Kagome lept out of the car and onto the warm brown sand. Kagome twirled alittle and nodded. "We need to work on our project Inu."
"And we can't do that with a table?" Inuyasha asked as he unstrapped his seatbelt.
"Nope. This place is best. Can you get my duffle bag in the back, it has our project stuff in it." Kagome continued to twirl under the sun's happy rays. She laughed as she felt herself grow dizzy.
Inuyasha pulled the black bag from the back and hopped out of the car, going over to the dizzy Kagome. Inuyasha sighed as the breeze played with his hair, lifting it off his back. "The paper's might blow away.."
"Live alittle would ya?" Kagome laughed as she sat down cross legged on the ground. She smiled up at Inuyasha who sat down infront of her. It was funny, he thought to himself. When he saw Kagome at school she was a snobby know it all. But here, even at the mall, she looked.. real.
"So, let's get this started." Kagome took the bag from Inuyasha and pulled out the assignment their teacher had given them. "So I'm a lawyer, you're an accountant. Depending what firm you work for Inuyasha, and if you work for a good one, you can make up to $45, 000 dollars a month. And depending on my cases, I make about the same a month. Safe to say, were rich!"
Inuyasha nodded, writing what she had said down on a blank piece of paper. "What car do you want?" Inuyasha asked.
"Red mustang. Though I could own one now, I think I'll wait until I pay for it with my own money." Kagome said causully.
"I would want a viper. Best choice for me." Inuyasha wrote that down also. "House and where?" He asked.
"Not small, but not huge you know. Like.. the size of your house. It's cozy. And perhaps.. California, possibly Hawaii. What do you think?" Kagome asked thoughtfully.
"House good. Place, doesn't matter to me as long as it's warm." Inuyasha also jotted that down. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha who smiled back.
"Want to go to a club tonight?" Kagome blurrted out suddenly. It seemed the best time as any to ask him now, while he was finally peaceful looking.
Inuyasha quirked an eye brow. "A.. club? Like, for dancing?"
Kagome laughed. "What else for? Yes for dancing!"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome then back down at the page he had been writing on. "Uh.. I don't know.."
"Please Inuyasha? It will be fun." Kagome gave him another puppy dog face.
"I would. And I bet it will be fun, but.. I um.. I.."
"You what?"
"I.. can't dance." Inuyasha admitted. Kagome gawked at him causing him to blush.
"You can't dance?" She asked. Inuyasha shook his head alittle. "That's all?"
"What do you mean, 'that's all?' Yeah that's all." Inuyasha grumbled out.
"That's simple. I can teach you!"
"You, teach me?" Inuyasha asked.
"You are up to doing and trying new thing's are you not?" Kagome dared. If Inuyasha had been up for the make over, and he loved it, how different would it be for him to try to learn how to dance?
"Yeah, but I..."
"Please, please, please?" Kagome put her hands together infront of her face. She tilted her head to the side alittle.
Inuyasha sighed, running a clawed hand through his hair. "Fine. I'll... try it. Just don't tell anyone I can't dance okay?"
"Okay, I promise." Kagome crossed her finger's over her heart.
"Let's finish the beginning of the project then we can go okay?" Kagome nodded and listened to all the question's he asked him, answering each. Did she ever have a surprise for Inuyasha tonight.
