: Chapter 19

Kouga look at his reflection on the mirror. He took a deep sigh—he didn't like how he looked at the moment, "I fucking look like shit!"

Kagome scoffed, "You look normal! There's nothing wrong with you!"

"Yes there is!" He placed his hand a few inches under his chin signaling for her to look at him, "Look at me! I look like shit!"

"Kouga shut up!"

"No! Kagome just look at my face!" He pinched both his cheeks, "I don't look as good as I normally do!"

"Shut up!" Kagome groaned, what the hell was wrong with him? "Next subject… What are you doing here?" It was true he'd been there for about an hour and half of the time he was looking at himself in the mirror.

"I need to look good because I want to bang—" he cleared his throat, "I mean… Check out your friend… That's why I have to look good, now look at my face! It's fucked up!"

"Is that why you want to go out with her? So you can treat her just like those other girls?"

"Yea—no! Huh?" He tried to change the subject, "Do you think she'll still be attracted to me even if my face doesn't look as good as it normally does?"

"Kouga I mean it. If that's all you want to do, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Besides do you really think she'd do anything with you without getting approval from us? Whatever happened with Rin and Naraku, Rin did on her own even when we tried to stop her. So that means if anything is going to happen between you two she's going to need to talk to us and that would mean I'd have a part with your shit! I don't want that. So… What?"

"Look I said I just want to check her out. Besides if anything takes too long, I'd get bored and move on. Come on Kagome, a normal date wouldn't hurt." He looked her with big blue puppy dog eyes and pouting lips.

"Do I have to remind you about what you did in Sango's living room after your first date?"

"She was weak! She fell to fast for my charm! Besides you said that Haraku won't be that easy to melt!" He begged, "Pwease…?"

She giggled, "Fine, I'll see what I can do but on one condition, I have to tell her what you're like and what you like doing to girls after you get what you want." Kouga pondered about it for a while before nodding.

"Okay call her."

"Now?"

"Yes, now." He pulled out his phone and handed it to his friend.

"What about Inuyasha? You two decided that he was first."

"All of a sudden you're thinking of Inuyasha…" Kouga smirked.

"I'm serious, are you guys going to like get into a fight or something?"

"No, were like this. Just hurry up and call her."

Kagome dialed her friend's number and waited for someone to answer.

"Hello?" A familiar voice answered.

"Hi Haruka!"

"Hey!"

"Umm Haruka, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?"

Kagome gave Kouga a weird look as laid down in Kagome's bed pulling her blanket over him. "You see there's this guy that's been begging for me to get a date from you. And he really just doesn't want to shut up. Can you just go out with his for a day?"

Her friend laughed, "Who's the guy?"

"Remember Kouga from that time when we were all at the mall? The one you pretty much had to kiss in the theaters?" Kagome looked at Kouga; he had better fold her blanket after! "I think he likes you. How about a small date like to a café or something?"

"I'll think about it, I mean after all he was some serious eye candy." The two of them giggled before saying their byes and hanging up.

"She says she'll think about it." Kagome said but got no reply from Kouga.

She walked up to him and looked down at Mr. Sleeping Beauty. Yep, he really was sleeping. She took a pillow and slammed it down on Kouga's face, "Fuck you, I was sleeping." He mumbled.

"Obviously." She replied with a sarcastic tone.

"Leave me alone." He stated.

"Kouga, why are you sleeping anyways?"

"Because I look like shit right now, so if I get some rest I'll look hot again."

Kagome giggled before she started to complain, "No fair Kouga! I wanted to get some rest! Go Home!"

"You wanna rest?" He asked watching her nod, "So do I and I don't wanna get up so," He took her by her arm and pulled her onto her bed, "Shut up and just go to sleep." Kagome shot up from her bed, even though Kouga was her friend she'd still feel uncomfortable sleeping with him.

Kouga looked up at her, "What's wrong? I'm not going to do anything." He pulled her back down, "Just pretend this is a sleep over, with everybody sharing the bed. Come on Kagome, you know I wouldn't do anything." He gave her a friendly smile, "Besides… It's not like I'm going to…" He draped and arm around her waist, "Touch you." She flinched and shot Kouga a glare, "I'm just kidding!" He smiled again before turning around and going back to sleep.

Kagome looked at her friend's back, Kouga was Kouga and he wouldn't do anything. And she trusted him so why not? She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The raven-haired boy turned around and watched as she slept with a smirk, truthfully he wasn't tired at all; he just had a plan…

"Really? Okay I'll talk to her. Bye." Kohaku said before putting down the phone. "Sango…" He called out to his sister with a sing song voice.

"What?" She asked looking at him from the kitchen.

"Why didn't you tell me you were suspended?"

"You haven't noticed? Why do you think I haven't gone to school?"

"Because you're too dumb for their work." Kohaku teased.

"Fuck you; you're the shit for brains in the family."

"Now sister, it isn't good to talk about yourself like that."

This conversation wasn't going anywhere, "What do you want?" She questioned.

"I didn't know you went out with Miroku."

"Well know you do." She snapped sarcastically. She really didn't want to be reminded of him. She thought about what happened and she knew that it was her fault. He was just trying to help her but she was being such a bitch. But he should have known that she was really mad and didn't really mean anything she said. She kinda liked going out with him—he was after all the only guy that liked her in the way of getting to know her before asking her out. Hell he was the only guy that she knew liked her. But she was also scared of what he could do to her. She had to admit that the guys had this charm for getting a girl to go head-over-heals for them, and maybe when she was vulnerable he'd take advantage of her…

"You miss him?"

She gave him an odd look and assured her that he wouldn't tell him, "Yeah." She said quietly.

"He misses you too."

Sango quickly looked up at her brother, "Really? Wait. How would you know."

"He told me."

"Whatever."

"Really… That's why I'm going to tell him that you miss him too so that you two can get back together."

Sango looked at her brother with the look that told him to run. "You said you wouldn't."

"Yeah but I'm your brother, it's my job to embarrass you—even though it's not embarrassing." With that Sango stood up from her seat and chased her brother around the living room.

As soon as she knew she was close enough she jumped on him sending him down to the floor. She stood up and looked at her brother who was lying down on the floor, "Sango don't be messed up! I like my balls the way they are! Not flat like pancakes!" She smirked and lifted her leg above her brother's family jewels watching Kohaku turned wide eyed before stepping on them hard.

Kouga noticed his friends sitting down talking to each other and walked up to them. He looked at his friends, "Guess what I did…"

"Molest animals?"

"No."

"Then tell us." Miroku demanded.

"I slept with Kagome." He smirked watching Inuyasha look really pissed off. This was the beginning of his plan. He thought about it when he was at Kagome's house… Step one on embarrassing his dear friend Inuyasha.

"Bull shit!" Inuyasha exclaimed, "The slut would be too scared to do something like that!" He said acting like he knew her the most.

"You keep calling her a slut but you can't believe she slept with me?" Kouga raised his eyebrow.

"Feh." Inuyasha said before looking away.

"That's pretty messed up Kouga, she's our friend." Naraku stated.

Kouga grined telling his friends, "Go with it…" Quiet enough so that Inuyasha wouldn't hear. "So…" He changed the subject, "I was talking to Kohaku yester day and…" Miroku got up to his feet and left.

Like it didn't bother him enough, his friend just had to bring up the subject of her.

Inuyasha spotted a familiar girl by her locker and argued to himself whether or not he was going to ask her. His curiosity told him to go but his reputation told him to stay. In the end his curiosity won since Kagome wasn't all that to make his reputation fall. He walked up to her with a malicious look on his face.

Kagome had finished putting things into her bag and closed her locker and noticed Inuyasha standing right next to her. She jumped back getting surprised. What did he want now?
