Chapter 6: Ayame and Kouga

Sango returned to the house at half past eight. To a Kagome and Inuyasha at each other's throats.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THAT WAS SO RUDE!" shrieked Kagome, attempting to attack Inuyasha.

"CALM DOWN WENCH!" Snarled Inuyasha loudly.

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT!" she launched at Inuyasha, Sango barely grabbing hold of the woman and dragging her away from Inuyasha. She shrieked and tried to fight her best friend off, but Sango had dealt with things much worse than an enraged woman. Inuyasha watched in amusement as Sango dragged Kagome up the stairs and into her room and slammed the door after her. Then, she rounded on Inuyasha, "You blundering idiot! You huge stupid asshole! Do you want to get yourself killed? Do you?" demanded, glaring at him. He raised his eyebrows, "I could've handled her." he replied cockily. Oh really? Thought Sango, has she told you what she is?

"Besides, she's just a human."

I guess not.

"I need you to help me make a room for some friends of mine who are coming." She told him coldly, keeping a tight rein on her emotions. He snorted,

"You expect me to something like that?" he asked incredulously.

"Do it or I swear I'll tell everyone what is really happening." Inuyasha's eyes widened when he realized that she wasn't kidding. He grumbled as he trudged up the stairs and made the bed and opened the windows to let the air out. Sango watched him from the doorway.

"You know." She said after a while of listening to his quiet ramblings, "If you just stop being such a jerk, Kagome'll be nicer to you." Inuyasha snorted,

"As if I need her to be nice to me." He growled. Sango sighed, walking into the room and pointing her finger at his forehead, "If you haven't forgotten." She snarled, "You have to go out in public with her. You have to pretend to be her fiancé. You. If that has even the slightest chance of being plausible, you have to help." Inuyasha stared at her, as the words sunk in, "Whatever." He replied finally.

Sango growled in frustration, "Can't you understand? Or is you pea-sized brain too small to comprehend the fact that Kagome is in danger? Are you so heartless that you don't care that someone could die?" Sango's words stirred Inuyasha's conscience. (A/N: Wow, Inuyasha? A conscience?)

"No, I'm not going to let her die." Sango withdrew her finger from his forehead.

"Good. Because if you did I would kill you." She left the room.

"Hello." Greeted Sesshomaru as he walked into the kitchen. Kagome looked up from her cooking. He held up a brown bag, "I brought some food." He offered. Kagome eyed him dubiously, "You're still not back on my Christmas list." She interjected immediately. Sesshomaru sighed, "Come on, Kagome. I had to do this." She gave him a withering look, "Inuyasha is the best agent on the force." Her eyes narrowed at him, "Don't look at me like that." She rolled her eyes. Sango and Inuyasha watched all this with amusement.

"Why do you want to be on Kagome's Christmas list?" asked Inuyasha, looking at his brother.

"Kagura likes Kagome's presents." Replied Sesshomaru. A knock came from the door. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha tensed. Kagome rolled her eyes, opening the door. Kouga and Ayame stood in the doorway; Ayame immediately launched at Kagome and hugged her,

"Oh my god, I can't believe what's happening to you!" she shrieked, hugging Kagome tighter,

"Ayame…can't…breathe…" wheezed Kagome. Ayame immediately let go of her, "Oops. Sorry. I forgot." She giggled sheepishly. Kagome turned back to Sango, raising her eyebrows. Sango smiled nervously.

"Hey Kouga." Greeted Inuyasha, "It's been a while." Kouga smirked,

"Nice to see you, mutt face." Kagome kicked him hard in the shin.

"I will not tolerate any insults in my house." She growled, "Even if it is at Inuyasha." She invited the couple into the house. She led the way to her kitchen.

"Here." She tossed a remote at them, "Press the big blue button at the top." Sango pressed the button. A third of the upper wall of kitchen slid away, revealing a plasma screen. "You can watch T.V. while I get out the extra ingredients for breakfast." She busied herself with the preparations. Sango and Ayame tried to help but were sent back to the table. Suddenly the screen went blank, much to their outrage. A living room appeared on screen, along with a face.

"Hey cool! You have the T.V. on!" exclaimed Moriko as she stared at them from the screen, "Hi Sango, hi Ayame, hi Kouga, hi Sesshomaru." She grinned waving at them. She caught sight of Inuyasha,

"Ooh, who're you?" she asked looking closely at him.

" Inuyasha." He said cockily. Moriko nodded, "I see. So you're Kagome's so-called fiancé." Kagome turned toward the T.V.

"Hey Moriko? Where's you pets?" she asked slyly.

Moriko made a strangled sound, "They aren't pets! They're my friends!" she snapped at her aunt. Kagome smiled inwardly, having successfully rerouted the conversation.

"Do you call Kagome every day?" interrupted Inuyasha. Moriko rolled her eyes,

"No, Inuyasha, I just call because I have something I don't want to do."

"But that's true too." Added Sango, amused. Moriko glared at her, "Some friend you are."

"Yep."

A head appeared upside down, staring intently at them.

"Night stalker get off that!" yelped Moriko, snatching him off the camera but knocking it over. Everything was turned on its side. But they could clearly see Moriko scolding a scaly object. She returned the camera to its proper upright position. She still held the scaly creature and they saw that it wasn't just scaly. It had wings too.

"Say hi, Night stalker." She laughed as she waved a clawed paw. Slitted pupils stared at them from the screen.

Hello came a voice.

"What the-?"

Moriko laughed at their expressions, "What, you've never heard mind-speech before?" she asked slyly.

"Stop freaking the poor people out." Interrupted Kagome as she set out breakfast.

"Aw come on Aunt Kagome! I haven't done anything!" she pouted, Night stalker curled up in her lap.

"You made your little pet mind-speak with them."

"NIGHTSTALKER IS NOT A PET!" she screeched, glaring angrily at her aunt, "He is a living breathing creature and I will not tolerate anyone insulting him." Kagome held her hands up in defeat, "Alright, alright. Don't bite my head off." Moriko continued to glare at her.

"I'm sorry Night stalker." She apologized. Night stalker stared at her intently, and chirped. Moriko rolled her eyes, "He forgives you." She grumbled.

"Where's Leilani?" questioned Kagome after a few minutes. Moriko muttered something,

"She's with Luki." She growled finally. Kagome nodded smiling slightly, Moriko turned to Inuyasha,

"So how'd you propose? From what I got from my sources, you're a fake and just out to steal my aunt's money." The group choked, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sputtering. "W-well…"

"Oh I get. You fainted and woke up in a hospital with Kagome sitting next to you crying hysterically and you don't want to tell people about 'cause it damages your manly pride." Interrupted Moriko before they could think of a cover story. Everyone but Kagome and Inuyasha burst out laughing. Inuyasha glowered at her. She chortled happily, "I know I'm so far off I might as well be on the moon, but it is an amusing thought." She flipped her attention to the others, "Don't you think so?" she asked them. The doorbell rang and Moriko straightened up, "Oops, sorry. Gotta go!" she disconnected.

"Well." Sighed Kagome, "I'm off to work." She picked up her purse. Inuyasha got up with her.

"Uh unh." She pointed at the empty seat, "You are staying here today." Inuyasha rolled his eyes,

"No." he growled, crossing his arms. Kagome, calm as ever, reached into her purse and pulled out a .38mm Glock. They stared at the gun.

"Where did you get that?" demanded Ayame, her eyes never leaving the gun. Kagome smiled mirthlessly,

"From Moriko. She gave it to me as a Christmas present." She pointed it at Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha snorted, "You expect that to kill me?"

Kagome shrugged, "It will if the bullets been blessed by a priestess."
