Chapter 5: Getting Back at Kouga

Ayames reaction to Kouga being around.

He'd been staring at her since their confrontation and no matter what she did every time she turned around he was there, staring. It wasn't that he was staring that really go to her, although his presence was more than enough to just bring back the painful memories, it was the fact that he only stared.

He had been there five days and he had not spoken one word. He wasn't much of a talker but he'd never done that.It made her wonder why he was there if he wasn't going to talk. She almost wished he would just get it over with. The sooner he tried to talk the faster she could dissuade him of the idiotic notion of taking her back. She would not go back no matter what he did and until he tried something she couldn't tell him that.

Why should she have to talk to him first? Maybe, like that she could let him see what he was missing because of his cruel words.

It wasn't mature of her to want to hurt him just like he had done her but since he had come the hurt and loneliness had morphed into white hot ball of anger that she wasn't willing to let go.

She would wait and see what he was planning and then she'd figure out a way to make it blindingly obvious that she would, could not forgive him.

The next day she was completely sorry she'd thought his staring,hmmstalking, was unnerving. Well clearly actions were much much worse.

'What made him think he could do that? WHAT THE HELL MADE HIM THINK HE COULD DO THAT?'

She stormed through the village calling, okay truthfully, bellowing his name.

"KOUGA!!...KOUGA!!...WHERE ARE YOU STUPID WOLF?"

Nothing.

"KOUGA!! I SWEAR IF YOU ARE NOT IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE I'M THROUGH YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT…NO WAIT NOT LIVE YOU WON'T LIVE IF IF I HAVE TO GO LOOKING FOR YOU. DID YOU GET THAT?" All around her the villagers were looking at her like she'd gon crazy. Well who wouldn't have a couple of screws loose up there when she had an idiot stalking her for almost a week.

'She had a right, didn't she?'She asked herself.

'Maybe she did have a right to that but she sure as hell didn't have a right to refer to herself in the third person AND talk to herself at the same time. A couple screws loose doesn't cover that, those two things were signs of serious mental proplems.' So she quicly stopped her rant just in time to hear Kouga say:

"Yes, Ayame. I definitely got that." She was pleased that he had actually listened to her and was inclined to treat him with a little less disdain but then being the idiot that Kouga is he had to ruin it.

"I'm pretty sure, the whole of Japan heard you. What are you yacking about now?"

"I'M NOT YACKING ABOUT ANYTHING YOU BABOON…"Count to ten, Ayame her mind screamed at her or you will tear him apart limb from limb.

'1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10' After the fifth time she finally managed to wrestle her temper and thankfully she won. She was now able to think with a clear head and she realized she would do more damage if she treated him like the last time.

He had been unwillingly speechless and that's how she wanted to keep him.

" Kouga, the next time you plan on stealing into my hut and scattering flowers everywhere ask me. You see I couldn't be there to appreciate it your handiwork and I certainly would have enjoyed them. But you see Sano got out of bed and he certainly did not understand that it was meant as a pathetic attempt at romance so he picked them up and tossed them."

She saw his eyes widen and his mouth move but no sound came out.

"I'm so terribly sorry I couldn't appreciate it next time you try to amuse me let me know so Sano won't ruin it."

Well folks hope you liked it again I apologize for the delay but I'm sure you don't need me to repeat myself. Let me know what you think please.

XOXO
