Ch. 2: Youkai vs. Youkai
"Ayame! What in the hell are you doin' here?" Kouga shouted still in a surprised state.
"What do you think? Don't you remember?" Ayame replied in a soft tone, a near-pleading look in her eyes.
"Remember what?"
"Don't tell me you forgot the vow you made to me when I was a pup!" she said her voice louder, but her emerald eyes still pleading. At that, Kouga stopped arguing, suddenly knowing what that dream was about.
"That vow…" he whispered, looking at the ground.
"Yes that vow!" Ayame couldn't believe her ears. Kouga just stared blankly at her before chuckled, a wide smirk spreading across his face. "What's so funny Kouga?" she asked, a brow raised.
"Let me guess. The supposed "promise" I made to wed you?" Kouga chuckled. Ayame still didn't figure out why he was laughing, but nodded in agreement anyway. "Ha! Silly girl! I only said that to make you feel better!"
"Huh?" Ayame murmured, blinking in astonishment.
"Why look so surprised Ayame?" Kouga said, smirking again, "I already have a woman, and her name is Kagome."
"What! So what you're trying to tell me is that you lied to me? You lied?"
"Well duh. Since I met Kagome, I am already taken."
Blinking, Ayame turned around, her back facing Kouga, tears started running slowly down her face; shoulders shuddering. Kouga's smirk disappeared when he saw her tears. Walking forward hesitantly, he was about to say something in regret to what he said before, when Ayame spun around, tears still spilling from her emerald green eyes. "I can't believe that your so-called promise kept me hopeful all of these years!" she shouted angrily, despite her sadness, running out of the cave.
Kouga did nothing to regret what he had done after Ayame ran away. "Huh! Ayame's stupid for even believing that trash!" he smirked, chuckling once more. But, Kouga did feel a slight hint of guilt and pity for the girl.
A/N I know these are short chapters but they will get longer, for Kouga and/or Ayame will have more to say and do.
