Ch. 1: "Locked Up"

Three teenage girls wondered into their school gloomily. It was a Friday afternoon, and it was winter break. Who would want to be in school? Let alone work on three different projects with these guys they don't get along with. They would have each other, but once they started working, they might as well say bye to each other. This trio wouldn't be working together for once.

When they got to the door the perky auburn haired girl with emerald eyes turned to her two best friends and squeaked out "Well, might as well make the best of it. I mean if we get bored we can flirt with them, I mean, we are working with guys!" Her friends only looked shocked at her.

"Ayame, we are talking about Inu Yasha, Kouga, and Miroku! What are you thinking? Flirt with them?" Her friend Kagome replied. Her medium raven hair was worn in a high ponytail.

"Well, Kagome, I have to agree with Ayame, they are hot. They might not be our favorite people, but they are hot." Sango replied to Kagome's reaction. Her long chestnut hair tied in a low ponytail. Her matching eyes shinnying with the hint of laughter that she sometimes had.

"What are you three doing lounging around? We have projects to do!" A voice came from behind the girls. The voice belonged to Inu Yasha. His hair that was so blond it was silver was untied and hung around his shoulders. His eyes were a weird gold color. Poor Kagome, she had to work with that jerk!

Behind him were two other guys. The one they called Miroku was a known pervert, he seemed to like Sango over the rest for some reason, I can't see it; I mean she's always beating him up! His chin length black hair was tied up in a ponytail. Then there was Kouga, his muscles showed through his clothes, his ocean blue eyes pierced girls souls, especially Ayame's. She couldn't stand the jerk, but she knew that he was hot. His long black hair was tied up in a high ponytail. He looked bored as he looked around the place.

Kouga soon noticed the mountain of a bag on Ayame's back. She seemed to be struggling to keep her balance with all that stuff. "Hey cherry, why do you have all this crap on you? I mean, we are only working on a project together, not moving in together! Why can't you leave your crap home with your parents?" He regretted saying that when he say her eyes grow sad. Her shining eyes grew dim and she started to tear up. Her two friends ran over to Kouga hit him hard then ran back to Ayame to cheer her up, the whole time glaring at Kouga.

"Ayame, he's just a jerk. He didn't know. You shouldn't listen to him. He doesn't know. It's ok." Soon Ayame wiped her tears off looking at Kouga.

"You can't leave stuff with people you don't have." At that she turned heel and walked off to the class she would be working in. She put her stuff in the corner and moved the desks around to set up an area to work.

She didn't stop moving things around even after she felt a presence in the room. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she froze up. She couldn't think. Ever since she lived with her Uncle for those few months she couldn't have people touch her often. It freaked her out. I mean, she knew Kag and Sango wouldn't hurt her. But she wasn't comfy hugging them. They didn't take it personally because they knew about him.

Kouga could feel her shaking after he put his hand on her shoulder. He didn't understand why she was shaking. "Ayame, I'm sorry if I said anything to insult you. I didn't know about your parents. I am truly sorry." He let go of her shoulder and he noticed that her muscles relaxed as he did so. He could tell this girl had many secrets about her. He would have to be more careful not to offend her or hurt her feelings.

She turned to face him noticing that he wasn't going to hurt her and slowly smiled. "Apology accepted. Shall we get started? She indicated to all the open space she made. He knew they would need a lot of room to make a model of the Tower of London but she practically gave them enough room to learn to ballroom dance. He smiled at her.

Kagome was in a very sore state with Inu Yasha. "I know lets make a model of the white house!"

"That has been done too much. Think you baka! We agreed on original!"

"Ok, the Sidney Opera House!"

"Too much work."

"Your lazy, it's original and would give us a good grade!"

"You are mean. Plus I don't want to do that much work!"

"ARG!"

Mean wile with Sango and Miroku. Sango was bending over to pick up a piece to hand to Miroku, when she felt pressure on her butt. She looked up and saw Miroku's arm. She stood up and slapped him across the face, leaving a red mark that made Ayame's hair look pale.

"Ouch! What was that for sweet Sango?" She was glaring daggers at him.

"For your hand being on my ass. Now if you push it, I'll have to really hurt you."

"I'll look forward to that." He smiled at Sango sweetly as she rolled her eyes.

Ayame was starting to get tired and looked toward the window and noticed it was pitch black out. She glanced over at the clock and saw that it was nine o' clock out. "Kouga, it's late, maybe we should call it quits for the night then come back tomorrow?" He glanced up to the clock and his eyes grew huge. "I would agree!"

They ran to the other classes to get the others before they ran to the front and only door to the school. They pushed at it to open it but it wouldn't budge. Ayame seemed relived that it wouldn't open but the others really seemed upset. Kouga noticed that she seemed happy to be locked in the school were the world could get to her. She walked over to the news board. "Hey, every one with a school key went on a retreat to the Bahamas! And they left two hours ago. And they will be back the Sunday before break is over! That's interesting!" She had her back to them and was smiling.

"Why does she seem happy about that?" Inu Yasha asked.

"I can't tell you. It's a personal thing about her."

"That's crazy. Why would she be happy with no food, no clothing, and no nothing for two weeks?"

Ayame came back over pulled out a few keys out of her bag, and took six out then put the rest away. "Here, I also have a bunch of pillows and sheets in my bag. That way we all have our own room. I also have the keys to the gym storage room to get those mat things out and also the locker room keys, that way we can stay clean. I have tons of food on me. Enough to feed an army. And I have plenty of clothes. I have a bunch of guy clothes because I didn't want to leave my dad's stuff. I couldn't let him have my dad's things. So we have nothing to worry about. We can live here until we can get out."

Kouga looked at her fascinated but confused. "Are you running away from some one?" When he sad that her eyes grew wide. He could tell she was uncomfy. "I'm sorry, did I do it again? I didn't mean to offend you Ayame."

She lifted her glance up into his eyes. "No, I am running away from what some people would call my home. I brought everything. I didn't want him to have any of the things that I had brought into that house. I didn't want to lose any memory that I could prevent. So I brought it all. Here, you five might want to call home to tell your parents the problem so they don't worry. Your room number is engraved on the key. I'll see you in an hour for dinner." She handed them her cell phone then walked of to her room.

She had gone to all the rooms and hung a sign saying who would go where, and moving the desks around to make room and furniture. She was going to get the mats to make beds later. She also left sheets, clothing, towels and other things for the person in the room. She didn't want them to be uncomfy wile here, I mean they weren't happy being here, stuck together. It was going to be hard for them. She was glad she wasn't alone, but she didn't want them to think she was crazy.

Kouga came into his room to find Ayame moving things around, placing things; he could tell she was working hard to make things a little more like a home or a hotel room, not a school class room. "Need help Ayame?" She spun around at his voice and seemed to be scared. She relaxed when she saw that it was Kouga at the door and not her uncle. "No I'm done for now. I'll bring up the gym mat for your bed after dinner. Which by the way I should be going to cook. Later Kouga." She breezed by him before he could say anything.

Ayame was in the school café cooking up some ramen noodles for Inu. Some steak for the rest of them. She grabbed some soda and a table cloth and placed it on a table that seated six people. She placed the food down then went to the P.A. system to call them for dinner.

Kagome was late and ended up sitting by Inu Yasha. But sango was by Miroku and Ayame was by Kouga. So Kagome was sort of comforted by that. The dinner chat was light and happy, full of laughter and complements on Ayame's cooking.

After dinner they guys carried the mats u to the rooms and set them where they were told to. Ayame made the beds and placed the pillows, some how the rooms looked like bedrooms. Every one was exhausted and went to sleep promptly. They were all dreaming about their project partner, some of them weren't willing to admit it to themselves that morning cough Inu Yasha and Kagome cough. The some just played it of at a fluke cough Sango cough and the others knew they liked that person. How were these six going to live together for two weeks?
