I JUST REALIZED I MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE! AHH I'M SO SORRY!

Okay, the first chapters year is a couple years, BEFORE 1899. NOW its 1899. Shit, I'm so sorry. (

Also just because you guys are so cool, I'm going to put up part 4! WOO
Okay everyone. This is where the roll coaster begins. Without this chapter, this story would be far to confusing to be good.

And remember, at this point, Koga doesn't know about Ayame's current engagement. I think you can take a guess at where some of the roll coaster starts. It's going to be sad, happy too. Enjoy—

Ayame hummed lightly as she walked home. She thought about Koga for quite a while now.

'What could he possibly want to talk about…' she wondered. 'Ha, he acts as if he's going to propose!' She just laughed at the thought. 'Koga, love someone like me! Ha that's like asking the princess to kiss the toad. Although…that HAS happened somewhere…' she shook her head. 'What a silly thought.'

She knew now. She might not love Koga yet, but it would eventually grow. Right now, it was at the point where you see that certain someone, and she get those gods for shaking butterflies in your stomach! How irritating they can be!

As she walked into the house, she heard her stepfather call her into the living room. She walked in, and saw her "fiancé" and stepfather sitting down staring at her.

"So, from what Alexander tells me, you have met." He said looking at her with a hint of a glare. She looked at him blankly.

"We did indeed." She said just as flat. Then she looked over at him.

"I'm not very flattered by your lack of kindness, my sweet." Alexander said. She looked down and gave a fake smile.

"What was your name…Alexander? What a lovely name. So Alexander, since we will be spending the rest of our lives together, what will you have me do?" she said with a just as fake cheer. Being the stupid man that he is, he believed it.

"Now that is more the girl I wish for." He said smiling widely. Her fake smiles and cheer act stopped. She looked at him with a little bit of hurtfulness and seriousness.

"Alexander, you wish for me to be something I'm not. I cannot be the wife you wish for me to be. I can cook and clean, yes, I do that around here most of the time, but I cannot stay inside and be the perfect model wife. I need to get out of the house of my own free will, not to get food for our family. I'm sorry, but I cannot marry you." She said walking to her room.

Alexander's anger consumed him whole. He got up, and walked with much enragement in his step. He went to her door, and pounded on it to let him in. Before Ayame could even get half way to the door, he slammed it open.

"ITS HIM, ISN'T IT! ITS KOGA THAT YOU LOVE, ISN'T IT? SUCH A FOUL CREATURE CANNOT HAVE YOU, AND I WILL NOT LET HIM HAVE YOU GOD DAMNIT! YOU ARE MINE, AND YOU SHALL ALWAYS REMIND MINE. WE ARE TO BE WED ON THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK WITH YOUR APPROVAL OR NOT!" He shouted. Ayame didn't move an inch. She was so frightened she couldn't even speak. He simply shook his head and bit her good evening.

When he left her house, emotions ran through her body and she fell to the ground whaling. When she was able to finally function correctly, she looked at the moon. It was almost midnight; when she had to meet with Koga.

She did love Koga. She knew it now that she cannot even associate with him. She knew now that she had to tell him about everything. About her engagement, and that she can't be friends with him anymore. It hurt her heart just to think about telling him.

When everything was dark in her household, she exited out the back door. She walked along by the park and admired is beauty. It's a pity she will probably never see it again.

As she passed the trees, she noticed the colors on the barks and on the leafs. Some of the leaves matched her eyes. Some were of a dull green, but still beheld beauty. Maybe if she were lucky her fiancé would let her have a garden with a few trees.

Unlikely.

When she finally made it, she found that Koga was already there. He was starting out on the lake while sitting in a tree casually. He didn't notice her yet, so she took the time to study him. He looked as he always did, with his black hair held up in his high and mighty ponytail, with his blue eyes shining as always. He was gorgeous. She was going to miss him sincerely.

"Well, I made It." She said with an exhausted laugh. He was somewhat starlted at first, but he recognized her right away and jumped off the tree.

"Alright…Uhh…come over here." He said leading over by a rock. He had her sit down while he would stand. He didn't really know how to let her know.

'So…do I just come right now and tell that I love her? No, no, that might scare her off. Tricky, maybe? Jokingly? Damnit! How do these men do it!' he asked confused. He looked over at here. 'Well, here goes nothing'.

"Ayame…I've…had this feeling," he bagan, " for sometime now. I'm in love with a girl, and I think I've loved her since the day I met her. Which was a pretty long time ago. I consider two years to be a long time. And I was wondering, what I could do to make her somewhat love me back?" Ayame looked at him for a moment, then looked away.

She felt relieved, yet heart broken at the same time. She got up.

"Well, you can make someone love you, it has to happen on its own. And who ever the lucky girl is I'm sure could fall in love with you considering its you Koga. You're a handsome, charming guy and she'd be nuts not to. Well I guess I better leave now." She said smiling a little, trying to contain her heart fallen state. Koga pressed his hand on his face.

"ITS YOU, YOU FOOL! GOD, DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU!" He shouted to her. She stopped.

"Me?" she exclaimed back.

"YES YOU IDIOT, YOU! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" he yelled back to her. She ran to him and knocked him off his feet. She landed right on him and hugged him.

"I love you too…" she said starting to contain tears. "But I can't." She got off him slowly. She sat next to tell and was about to tell him why.

"You see…my stepfather has already engaged me to Alexander. Oh Koga, how I loathe him so! He told me I am to be his wife whether I wish it or not." She said with tears rolling down her eyes. "And my stepfather claims that they need his money. So I am obligated to marry this pathetic fool. What times we live in, eh?" she said with a sarcastic laugh. Koga twitched a little.

"Alexander? THE Alexander? That asshole? No way! I won't let this happen! How much is he planning on giving your family?" he asked her angrily. She shrugged while still crying.

"I don't know, all I do know is that it is a lot." She said in-between sobs. He pulled her to him, and she laid her head down on his chest.

"I won't let that bastard do this to us, Ayame. I promise I will do what I can." He said stroking her back, trying to calm her down. Sure enough, little by little she calmed down.

"Are you sincere?" she asked. He chuckled.

"Of course my love. I won't let him come between us. Not now, and not ever." He said snuggling into her. Ayame had longed for this for so long. All she could do was sigh happily, and rest into his warm arms.
