'Last time'
He advanced towards her direction slowly "Ayame…" he said softly
She turned around and gasped at hearing her name "Kouga…" she said like a whisper as tears began to swell up in her eyes.
Chapter Six – Souta Kikyo and Kagome… a violent triangle
Kouga's POV- thinking
All I did was stand there… that was all I could do. Ayame, one of my best friends was right in front of me on the verge of tears and it was all because of me. But, what could I do. I liked Ayame more than a friend but I never dwelled on the possibilities of having a relationship with her. She was beautiful… yes and smart…of course and one of the toughest people I knew…so why do I ignore her, it's not like I try to. Ugh! Why do women always have to be so damn confusing…why couldn't she just tell me right off the back that she liked me… then maybe we wouldn't be in this situation right now. What am I saying I could've said something too. I should talk to her I can't just stay like this it's too awkward now that I know.
Author's POV
Kouga walked over to Ayame and put his hand on her shoulder. She flinched at his touch. Sure he had touched her before but this time it was different…there was more to it. He pulled back at her reaction. She turned back around doing her best to keep the tears in but to late… she was crying and felt really pathetic about it too. Kouga saw her tears.
"Ayame…" he was about to say something but was cut off.
No longer hurt, Ayame was angry, "don't even start you have no excuse not even a reason to be here, you are totally clueless to the things around you. But you know what I refuse to hide how I feel anymore. Kouga I have liked you since elementary and have been in love with you since junior high!" her tears were spilling freely now because she was upset that he had to come and intrude on her, wasn't it enough that she was already suffering but did he really have to make it worse, and the look of pity he was giving her right now was too much. "…and don't you dare give me that pity look cuz I don't need you feeling sorry for me!" she had finally finished.
"Are you done now?" Kouga asked
She glared at him and was about to start yelling again but Kouga wouldn't let her start up again.
"AYAME WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP AN LET ME TALK DAMNIT…YOU KEEP GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL AND YOU WON'T EVEN LET ME GET A WORD IN..." he stopped to breathe and by the shocked look on her face he could tell she wouldn't say anything for a while so he continued more calmly this time "…listen I didn't mean to yell at you but I couldn't let you get all worked up again before I got to tell you how I feel. I like you a lot Ayame and I guess I'm a lot dumber than I thought because I couldn't tell that you liked me too. I mean damn it you said you're in love with me so how in the hell could I say anything to make you believe I'm sorry…or that I feel the way you do. It's almost too complicated for me to sort out in my head but I don't want you to be mad at me." He finished and looked at her.
"Kouga... I don't know what to say" tears began to swell up in her eyes even more now but this time it was because she was happy, Kouga misunderstood her crying and went to comfort her. "Ayame please don't cry I said I was sorry"
"That's not why I'm crying it's just that I'm so ha-happy that I-I could finally hear you tell me how you f-feel about me for once." She hugged him and cried even harder.
He lifted up her chin gave her a quick peck on the lips and held her for a little while longer until she'd stopped crying.
"Okay I'm done being all soft lets go inside before everyone starts getting nosey" she wiped her eyes and looked up at him "…hey Kouga?"
"What?"
"Where does this leave us?"
"I don't know I guess we're dating now"
"Well then, let's go inside"
About 5 minutes later the two appeared in the house. Everyone except Kagome looked at them. Kouga walked up to her and took her hand as Ayame was watching him curiously. Everyone watched closely to see if Kouga would screw things up again.
Kagome eyed him with her trademark 'bored to no end' look. "Kagome I just wanted to say I'm sorry for acting like a retarded ass…friends okay?" he then instead of kissing her hand just shook it. Kagome was feeling a little awkward with everyone looking at her. She considered shaking Kouga's hand back but instead she settled on a simple "feh… whatever."
Everyone knew how Kagome was and considered that her 'okay'. Kouga smiled at her.
"OKAAAY EVERYONE!" Miroku had to ruin the moment "now that Kouga and Ayame are finally together and Kagome and Inuyasha's infant relationship is abroad the only thing left now is for you and I to stop denying our true feelings dear Sango and……"
CRUNCH!
That was the sound of Sango's fist connecting with Miroku's jaw "Shut up Miroku I have no feelings for you to deny." She blushed while lying.
Inuyasha was presently becoming tired of everyone's confessions of love. 'I got the girl I wanted to hell with all this other mushy shit' he thought to himself.'
"What are we going to do today?" he finally asked. "I hope you guys don't plan on staying at my house cuz it ain't gonna happen. I'm not trying to hear my father's mouth all damn day about kids and their mischief."
"So where are we going to go?" asked Kagome, finally coming back to the world where music wasn't the only thing you could here.
"We could go cause some trouble at the mall!" came Rin's voice from the open door. There standing beside her was Sesshomaru.
"Oh hell yeah…now see I'm down with that!" said Sango feeling her mischievous hype coming on.
"Well anywhere Sango goes I go and I'm down for a little trouble" agreed Miroku coming out of his state of unconsciousness with a sneaky grin.
"Do I even have to say anything" said Kouga.
"Same here" said Ayame.
"You already know" said Inuyasha like it was obvious. "What about you baby girl?" he asked Kagome as everyone looked at him a little strange from his giving her a new nickname.
Just when everyone was awaiting her answer Kagome's cell phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.
"Hey Kag!" came her little brother's voice.
"What's up Souta!" her voice softened.
Everyone was a little confused as to why Kagome suddenly sounded so caring. "Inuyasha?" Miroku said his name questionably.
"It's her little brother…they're really close. I could tell she cares for him a lot just by seeing them together. You'll see what I'm talking about" he informed them. "Apparently sooner than later" he added seeing as Kagome was off the phone giving them a look.
"I'm down for the mall but my kid brother is bored so I'm going to pick him up and take him with us." She told them all.
"Are you sure he won't be out of place with all of us. I mean we'll probably be getting in trouble. We don't want to turn your little bro into a delinquent" stated Rin.
"Believe me he's a little boy version of Kagome" chuckled Inuyasha.
"Whatever are we going to leave or not?" asked an annoyed Sesshomaru.
"I didn't know you like being a bad boy 'fluffy'" teased Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru smacked Inuyasha upside the head "I go where Rin goes…baka" he stated calmly.
"Can we go already" said Kouga agitated.
A little while later
Kagome called for Souta to come down the shrine steps. A few minutes later everyone peeked through the tinted windows of the stretch hummer limo to see a boy around the age of 11 come walking down the shrine steps looking very much like Kagome with his short ruffled black hair. He was sporting an outfit that sort of coordinated with his sister's. He wore black shorts that reached his ankles, white socks, a red shirt with black and white lettering that read 'spawn of the devil's sister', which when he first bought had his mother a little confused and a pair of mid-high red, white and black air force II's.
Souta jumped in the hummer. "Thanks for coming to get me" he gave his sister a small smile, more like a smirk.
"Hey I'm Sango. This is Miroku, Sesshomaru, Kouga, Ayame and R…" Sango was abruptly cut off by an ecstatic Rin.
"Oooh he's so cute, no he's adorable and look at those big brown eyes… Kagome he looks just like you I wish I had a little brother that was this handsome… awe I want one I want one!" Rin screeched in one breath while touching Souta's face and stroking his hair.
"This is Rin" Sango finished introducing everyone to Souta. "And this is a human being" she added forcing Rin's admiring hands away from Souta.
"What's up" greeted Souta to everyone, sounding a lot like Kagome. "Where are we going?" he asked as the limo pulled off.
"To the mall" answered Inuyasha
"Ugh! The mall for what?" he asked hoping it wasn't for shopping.
"To start a little Ruckus kid" answered Kouga.
"I'm not a kid" he answered calmly.
"Whatever" Kouga ignored.
"I'm betting we'll see Kikyo and her little friends there" Miroku thought out loud.
"I hate that bitch" said Sango and Kagome in unison.
"Wow she must really be something to make you cuss around me Kagome… You're usually telling me to watch my mouth" Souta teased.
"Please kid your sister cuss's like a sailor" laughed Inuyasha.
"Feh" was Kagome's smart excuse. Everyone except Souta looked at her weird, she just did an Inuyasha.
The car came to a halt and they began to get out and walk towards the mall.
"Where to first?" asked Ayame.
"Well…" Rin trailed off.
"Oh Kami!" yelled all the guys including Souta and Sesshomaru.
"Come on Kagome" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and they began running before Rin could suggest they go shopping. Souta ran after them.
"Hey wait up we're with you guys" Miroku and Sango ran in the direction of Kagome, Inuyasha and Souta.
Rin turned her gaze to Kouga and Ayame. "Don't even try it" they yelled and followed the others.
"I guess it's just me and you for shopping Sesshy" Rin smiled at him.
"I thought you said you wanted to start a little trouble" he repeated her previous words.
"I only said that to get them to come with us, I guess it didn't work" she laughed and skipped off towards the plaza with Sesshomaru in tow.
With the others
"That was close" breathed Inuyasha.
"I think she planned that" said Miroku walking up to them.
"Yea knowing Rin she most likely did" said Kouga walking up to them also.
"So what are we gonna do now?" asked Sango walking towards the food court.
"Well since you're going in that direction…" said Souta following her, his voice insisting that the rest of them follow which they did. "Let's go get some food I'm starving."
"Fine what do you want" asked his sister.
"MacDonald's" he answered.
They all pulled some of the circular tables together, grabbed a chair and sat down together.
"I want Ramen!" Inuyasha said greedily.
"No you'll eat what the rest of us are eating" stated Kagome calmly but firmly.
"Damn!" he grumbled.
"Souta you go get your food first and we'll stay here then when you come back we'll all go order and you can watch our tables" she told him as Inuyasha handed him a twenty.
"Alright I'll be right back" and he ran off to get on line.
About 10 minutes later
"What's taking him so long?" asked Kouga.
"Yeah I'm hungry" complained Sango
"Yes, have you ever seen Sango when she's hungry?" asked Miroku.
"No but I know how I get" said Ayame.
"I smell Kikyo" growled Inuyasha as his nose wiggled. Kagome looked un-phased even at the mention of Kikyo's name, until an argument was heard coming from the line in MacDonald's. "Kagome its Souta!" Kagome and the other's ran inside to see what was going on.
"Who the hell do you think you are you little brat!" yelled Kikyo.
"I was here first you ugly wench!" shouted Souta right back.
Kikyo pushed Souta into a wall roughly, in which he hit his head and got a cut on his forehead.
Kagome's went wide eyed as did everyone else. The first thing that went through her mind was Souta. The group ran over to him and looked at his bruise "are you alright does this hurt?" Kagome asked touching his head.
"I'm fine but she does hit hard." He said grabbing his head where it hurt.
Kikyo walked over to them with her food in her hand. "I didn't know you liked to hang out with snot nosed little bastard children Inuyasha" she said to him ignoring the others.
"Look what you did you fucking retard!" he shouted at her.
"Oh what that little brat…he was in my way so I simply moved him aside." she said calmly.
That was it Kagome had had it "You stupid bitch that's my little brother you 'simply moved aside'." She stood up and went toward Kikyo. "I don't play by a lot of rules but I do have a few and you just broke the most important one" Kagome said dangerously.
"Yeah and what would that be" asked Kikyo not really caring.
"Don't ever put your hands on my family especially not my little brother." Kagome answered and caught Kikyo by the throat. She pushed her against a wall and began beating the crap out of her. No one was going to stop her either until they saw the look people were giving her and saw that someone was calling the police.
"Kagome come on you can continue this later" Inuyasha said pulling her off of Kikyo. He took her out of the mall. Sango, Miroku, Ayame and Kouga who was carrying Souta on his back followed quickly out of the mall after them. Inuyasha who had been struggling with holding onto his girlfriend told Sango to call Sesshomaru and tell him they were leaving and that he'd send the limo for them when they were ready.
"KAGOME WOULD YOU PLEASE CALM DOWN!" he shouted while pinning her to the ground.
"Yeah Kag you can relax now I'm fine really" Souta said from his perch on Kouga's back.
She stopped struggling and Inuyasha let her up. "Well looks like the mall was a bad idea" said Inuyasha.
"Yeah…I knew Kikyo would be there" said Miroku.
"Oh well lets go home."
They all got inside the limo. The driver dropped everyone home including Souta after they cleaned his cut and put a band-aid on it. That left Kagome and Inuyasha in the limo.
"So where do you want to go?" he asked Kagome who was looking at lot more at ease now that Souta was safely home.
"I don't know how about we just go drive around, it's not dark yet"
"That's sounds relaxing" he said leaning back in the couch like seat and pulling kagome into his embrace. They sat like that just driving around. Kagome began to fall asleep as Inuyasha stroked her hair. He pressed a button on the limo's side panel and a part to one of the seats in the limo extended into a small bed. He laid her down and kissed her forehead.
"I've never seen anyone kick ass like you let alone get mad like you. Special girl you are" he said out loud to himself.
A thought hit him as he sat there looking at Kagome. 'I'm falling in love already…and the girl is about as temperamental as me. Funny I would've never thought so from her nonchalant demeanor. But I'm falling in love non-the-less.' He sighed 'I wonder how she feels about me… we haven't been together for long, not even a week yet and look at me. From the first time I saw here. Oh well it's not like I'll ever admit to her out loud.' He sighed again as he began drifting into a light sleep 'next time we'll spend the day together with just me and you, no interruptions.' And with that as his last thought he closed his eyes.
Sorry this chapter took so long to get out but I started a new story. And my thoughts were a little scrambled. I hop you all enjoy this and tell me your thought on it in a review. I except flames, but only if they are well deserved. Lol. Flames make me laugh…not because of what's written, but because of the asshole who took time out to write it when they could have just stopped reading the story or not have read it at all. So go ahead and write me a flame… I'll write back to you in my next chapter laughing at your ass for having no life.
