Ayame's PoV

I was on my way over to Sango's when I saw a guy with dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. He was wearing a head band and had these awesome icy blue eyes. He saw me and gave me a one-fanged smirk.

He's a wolf demon too couldn't get any better! He walked over towards me so I smiled back. He put an arm around me and in my ear whispered. "How would you like a gift of a curse." He whispered.

I jumped slightly. "What?" I asked. He moved his arm and laughed. "I'm Koga Ookami." He said. "I play guitar in Desolation." He continued. "Okay I feel dumb. I can't believe I didn't recognize you!" I'm having a conversation with a rock star and not freaking out how cool was that?

"I take you didn't hear about the contest." He said as he steered me into the ice cream parlor. "No what is it?" I asked eagerly. He laughed. "Okay our manager heard about your disappearances and the homicides." He explained. I nodded. "What kind?" he asked. "Huh?" what did he say? "Of ice cream!" he laughed. I laughed. "Oh Cookie dough please." I said.

He ordered to cookie dough ice creams and paid. "So Miroku, Sesshomaru, and I are all staying in the mansion that night. We get to pick three lovely ladies to accompany us. It's like a gift with a curse get it?" he asked as he handed me a cone.

I nodded. "I think so." I said with a laugh. "Oh I'm Ayame by the way." I said with a smile. "Well Ayame" he smirked. "Want to go get cursed with me?" I grinned. "I'll get cursed with you anytime." He laughed. "Good. Meet me at the house at noon on the 30th. Bring some stuff cuz we'll come out on the first." He explained. I nodded. "See you there!" he said and left.

Sango walked down the street. "Ayame?" she called. "She should have been here by now." She muttered. Someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into an alley. "Hey!" she shouted.

"Wanna curse me?" the violet eyed man said with a smile. Sango was thoroughly offended. "If that's supposed to be a pick up line-" The man laughed. "I thought you knew who I was." He said as if it were an apology. Sango crossed her arms. "Should I know you?" she asked testily.

He grinned. "My dear lady I am Miroku Houshi." He said. A smile crept over her face. "Ah yes the oh so perverted member of Desolation." She said smirking. Miroku threw his hands in the air in frustration. "It's the hand damn it! It's cursed! Cursed I say!" he shouted.

Sango cracked up. "That's the lamest excuse." She exclaimed. "Speaking of curses have you heard about the Gift of a Curse contest?" he asked. Sango nodded. "Yeah but I don't know how to enter." She admitted.

He grinned in response. "You don't enter." He said. She cocked her head to the side. "I don't get it." "Me and the guys each get to pick a girl from the town to go with us. So my lady will you do me the honor?" he asked.

Sango grinned and punched her fist in the air. "Hell yeah!" She exclaimed. "Cool." Miroku said and then explained the whole deal about when to go and bring stuff.

Ayame flopped down on her bed and grabbed her phone. She had just gotten back from Sango's but decided to call anyway. "Hey" she said as her friend picked up. They went into a lengthy chat about what to pack and how everything is going to be awesome. Even though they were best friends they kept one teensy little detail to themselves. They though the guys were SEX-XY.

You know what I mean that one guy you just CAN NOT take your eyes off. Everything about him seems perfect. His eyes, his hair, and the way he smiles. Hell you don't even have to have met the guy to know this feeling. He can be a movie star, or a signer, or a model, or even a character from an anime. ((Rae Lmao))

"Well I'll see you at work." Sango said as they got off the phone.

Ayame woke up grinning. "Tomorrow!" she squealed as she looked in the mirror. She instantly cringed. "Ew bed head." Someone in her doorway started laughing. Ayame turned to see Shippo.

"Shippo what are you doing here?" she asked in amazement. The kitsune bounced onto her bed. "Kaede dropped me off so she could gather herbs and your grandpa told me to come up!" the small fox said cheerfully.

Ayame ruffled his hair. "She could have dropped you by Sango and Kohaku." She pointed out. Shippo shook his head grinning. "I wanted to come here!" he replied with a smile.

Ayame sighed. "Alright at least let me change." She said. Shippo nodded and went into the hall.

Ayame headed to the same ice cream parlor she and Kouga were at yesterday. She went into the back and changed into her uniform. "Hey Sango." She said as she came out. Sango grinned. "Tomorrow will be awesome!" she exclaimed.

Ayame nodded in agreement. "I wonder who Sesshomaru chose." She wondered aloud. Sango shrugged. "Dunno obviously not one of our friends though." She said. Ayame nodded.

"Question." She said as she twirled her fiery red hair. "Go for it." Sango replied as she leaned against the counter in boredom. "Does anyone even buy ice cream at 10am?" she asked as she looked at the containers in front of her. Sango put on a thoughtfully look.

"Besides you no probably not." She said nodding. "Thought so." Ayame said as she nodded.

Ayame lugged her bag down the stairs. "Bye Gramps!" she called. "Good-Bye." He replied. Sango impatiently honked the horn on her jeep. "I'm right here shut up!" Ayame responded as she threw her bag in the back next to Sango's.

Sango grinned and pushed her sunglasses back into her hair. "All set?" she asked. "Totally!" Ayame replied smiling. "All right then let's blow this place!" she exclaimed as she started the car.

When they arrived the house was surrounded by a huge mob. Koga and Miroku stepped out by the car and helped them through the crowd. They saw Sesshomaru with a familiar looking girl. "Oh that's whats her name." Ayame said snapping her fingers in thought. "It's Rin I think." Sango muttered.

Koga and Miroku turned to face the crowd. "Well guys what do you think? You ready to see if curses are real?" Koga shouted. The crowd cheered. Miroku laughed. "We're going to bring in some cameras so you'll be able to see some of what happens in this place!" he said holding up a digital camera before handing it over to Sango.

"And don't forget our three lovely companions." Sesshomaru added. Sango, Ayame and Rin all waved. "Well it's noon! See you guys later!" Koga said checking his watch and then the 6 entered the mansion.

Rin looked around. "This place is creepy!" she exclaimed as she clung on to Sesshomaru. Ayame looked at the camera Koga had handed her. "Let's split up and explore." Sesshomaru said. "We'll all meet back here at 12:30" Miroku said. Sango nodded and grabbed the camera.

"Well here we go." Ayame said as she flipped it on and faced it towards herself. "Hey guys Ayame here. We're all just exploring now. I doubt many of you have seen the inside of this place." She said as she took the camera around the kitchen. "I doubt many of them wanted to." Koga said with a smile as he flashed the camera a peace sign.

Sango flipped on the camera as the entered a bedroom. "Sango and Miroku here. Just getting a glance at what this place actually looks like." She explained as she panned out around the room. Miroku flopped down on the bed. "If you ask me it looks like they needed a decorator." He said wrinkling his nose as he glanced around. "Or a maid" Sango added.

Rin held onto the camera shakily as they looked around the living room. She flipped it on. "H-hey its Rin and Sesshomaru. We're looking around the place now. It's so scary here! Just looking at this place is enough to believe the curse is real!" she exclaimed as she turned the camera to scan the living room. "It's not that scary Rin." Sesshomaru said.

After a bit of exploring they all met back in the entrance cameras off. "Why don't we check out the basement?" Sango proposed. Rin who was much calmer by now nodded. "Sure." She agreed. "Sounds good." Ayame said. "Guys?" Sango asked looking at them. They nodded. "Cool lets go!" Ayame said as she made her way to the kitchen since it led to the basement.

Ayame tried the light switch but it didn't work. She heard a crash behind her. Everyone looked behind them to see Miroku looking at a now broken camera. "Smart one." Sango said looking at the remains of the camera.

Miroku put it up on the counter. "Oh well." He shrugged. Ayame turned around and flipped on her camera light so they could see. She jumped back and dropped the camera which fell down the stairs.

"Two cameras down." Kouga said. Rin looked at Ayame who was stepping backwards her eyes locked on the basement door. "Ayame whats wrong?" she asked nervously.

"I-I saw someone down there." She stuttered. Rin drew back against Sesshomaru. Sango put her hands on her hips. "Real funny Aya." She said knowing her friend was trying to trick them.

"Come on Ayame let's go see whats down there." Koga said nudging her slightly. Ayame shook her head. "No I'm serious! I saw someone!" she insisted. "Well wouldn't it be wiser to check that way we at least can call someone if there is a murderer?" Sesshomaru said bluntly.

Miroku nodded. "He's right Ayame." Ayame bit her lip still unsure. Sango brushed past Ayame and flipped the camera light on. "I'm going." She said as she started down the stairs. Miroku followed after then Sesshomaru and Rin. Koga stepped onto the first step.

"Your not going to stay here alone are you Ayame?" he asked. Ayame glanced around. "No way." She muttered and ran over to cling onto Koga's arm.
