Well here you go, a new chapter for you. I hope you enjoy it. )

Ayame sat under a shady tree. She was still thinking about this new "engagement". She thought about how everything would change.

'Well…I don't suppose it would be so bad. Mother and Toshi would have money, and unfortunately so would that jerk of a stepfather I have, they would be happy all together…and Koga…' she stopped. She looked around. She saw Koga lightly walking to where she was. '…Koga can be married to someone who makes him happy.' She thought lightly. '…Even if it's not me…'

"Hello Ayame. What are you up…" he stopped and looked at her cheek. It was tad bit swollen, and it was pinkish. He bent down and poked her cheek. She twitched slightly.

"Ah...please don't do that…" she said softly. He sat down and got a closer look.

"Who did that?" he said calmly, yet a little angry underneath. She turned her head a little to look at the grass.

"It was just me and Toshi…we got into a little fight is all." She smiled reassuringly. He didn't believe her for a second, but for now, he was going to let it pass. He got up and brushed himself off.

"Come on. Lets go." He said sticking his hand out. She raised her eyebrow questionably. After a moment of whether or not to take his hand, she did. Though, when she did get up, he didn't let go. He kept holding on. Even if it was a small gesture, it still made her warm inside.

"So where are we going?" she asked as they started walking away. He smiled a little.

"I can't tell you. It's a secret." She rolled her eyes at his childishness, but she found that it fit him. As they walked down the alley, they didn't even notice the enraging jealousy a few feet away from them. He couldn't even bare to follow them any longer.

"My future bride, holding hands with that…that knave, Koga? She couldn't even say a kind word to me, but she talks to him as if they were lovers! Oh, this will certainly not do…" he said walking in the direction of Ayame's home.

Twenty minutes passed, and they were now going by many trees. When Koga finally stopped, he let go of Ayame's hand, and took off his shirt. She started to blush a little.

"Uhh…Koga…what…are you doing?" she said trying not to look at his body. But seeing how he WAS in shape, and his chest was VERY nice looking…it was kind of hard not to.

"Well, beyond this tree in front of us, there is a lake that I use to go to often when I was a kid, so, I decided I wanted to go swimming. Would you like to join me?" he asked with a smile. She kind of looked around a bit.

"S-sure…"she stuttered. She turned and started to take off her dress. Thankfully, though, she had an undershirt and some shorts that hugged her. Thinking about how there was nothing under those, she changed her mind and wasn't really so thankful. When she finished, she saw Koga's backside. She smiled liked his consideration.

"Alright, I'm not naked." She said dully. He turned to look at her.

"Well, heh, lets go." He said dragging her in. checking the water; he stepped in little by little. It really wasn't as cold as he thought it would be. So he jumped in, and got Ayame wet. She glared at Koga.

"What? You're coming in anyway!" he said. She quickly leaped onto him and they fell into the water.

For hours they played as if they were children again. They decided to stop when the sun was starting to set.

"Well I suppose we should part soon…" Ayame said looking at the sky. Koga joined in her stare.

"Ayame, do you think you could come back here later tonight? Close to midnight?" he asked almost shyly. She turned and looked at him.

"Here? In the middle of the night with an unmarried boy as yourself? Sounds a tad dangerous, does it not?" she said with a teasing smile. She shook her head.

"Of course I will. But what is the reason?" she asked looking into his eyes.

"I…umm..I want to talk to you about something. Although I can't talk about it now, because what would be the point in an inviting you later tonight to talk about something we would be talking about now?" he asked with an evil smirk. She padded his arm.

"Fine you win this round Koga, but I will have my victory my dear!" she said heading off into the direction of her house. When she was out of sight, he sighed.

"And I hope I have mine." He said softly to himself.
