Tricky Business

Chapter Four

"This is where you live?" Koga asked as we walked into my house. "After all those years of being dirt floor poor and resulting to gangs?"

"When society got a hold of me they sent me to an orphanage. They realized I skipped out on the system, that I tricked them. I wasn't even at the home for a year before I was taken and thrown into this beautiful life. Lucky for my adoptive parents, it was just long enough to have rules and a better lifestyle beaten into me. My old friends didn't want anything to do with me anymore. I was a dangerous person to be around anyway." I shrugged.

"What about Xavier?" Koga pressed.

"He was part of my past, what do you want me to say? We met when I was twelve and he was thirteen. We had been together ever since. He had a thing for little girls in miniskirts that threw pom poms around. I was born a cheerleader and he was the bad boy who had his eye on me. I was adopted a day after my seventeenth birthday. We were together for almost four years. I dumped him a month and a day before our four year anniversary."

"Weren't you afraid?" he questioned.

"I knew that government was on my ass, they were bound to find me soon. I didn't have to hide, they would save me and I would finally be free of that life I was caught in. I wanted to get out, so badly, but I knew the consequences and I couldn't face that. When the right opportunity came, I took a hold of it."

"So you were together for four years and you never had sex or anything?" he raised an eyebrow.

"No. Just because I was in a gang and I was on the streets didn't mean I didn't have strong morals. I seen young girls all around me doing it, they were throwing away what little bit of a life they had. They wouldn't be able to properly provide for their children, or their selves, as they racked up STD's. Besides, Xavier cheated on me and banged so many girls that I wouldn't do anything sexual with him. I barely kissed him. But we were still together, because I was afraid and he was powerful. He claimed me. I was property." I explained.

"I'm glad you got out of it." Koga replied.

"Me too, but I fear for those who haven't. I don't want them to suffer, they shouldn't have to. The corruption of these small slums scare me. Everybody is too afraid to take a hold of the chance at freedom that they're given. Gangs are horrible. It wasn't bad for me, since I was Xavier's girl. I didn't have to have sex or get beaten. But so many do."

"I know… count your own blessing, that's all you can do. There's really nothing else. You're rich, enjoy it. You have a beautiful house and a perfect white-angel princess fairytale going on here. Who knows, maybe they'll make this a Disney Princess movie someday." Koga shrugged, but his tone was bitter.

"I didn't want to drag you into all of this trouble. Trust me, you were the last person I was expecting to go home with tonight." I frowned. "This fairytale doesn't have quite the happy ending that you'd think it would."

"Ariel's Prince Eric ran away with Snow White?" Koga raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. And, for your information, Ariel was my favorite princess. Eric was my favorite prince. I hated Snow White, though. There was just something about her, I never liked it. She wasn't uncommonly nice. All she managed to do was be a servant to and sleep with midget men. If anything, she was simply stupid." I argued with my arms crossed as I sat on my bed.

I hadn't even realized we were in my room. Koga picked up a picture of me, in my proud cheerleading uniform with a victorious smile, while being held in the arms of InuYasha. I smiled as I looked at it, remembering how I felt like a million dollars. My smile fell. He was gone and I was worth nothing to him. Money can't buy love, after all.

"So you got it bad for the kid, I'm guessing?" Koga replied.

"You have no idea." I pouted and let my back fall down against my ultra-soft bed. I stared at the ceiling. "He was everything I wanted and I waited so long. I mean, he led me on so much. He made me think we could be together, and then dropped me in the blink of an eye for Kagome. He's never really even talked to Kagome before. In fact, he complained about her."

"Don't worry, she'll drop him. I give that relationship two weeks maximum to work out. I can't see it happening. No disrespect towards you, since you're in love with the guy and all, but he's not that great. I mean, he's one in a million. She'll get tired of him soon enough. Ladies always love the forbidden bad boys anyway." He shrugged as he dropped beside me on the bed.

I turned my head to look at him. He was taking long, deep breaths and his eyes were closed. It looked like he was getting some much-needed comfort. I couldn't let the kid go back to those crappy conditions he'd be facing. "Why don't you spend the night?"

Those crazy eyes snapped open immediately. "Huh?"

"You know," I turned onto my side and gave him a little wink as I walked my fingers down his clothed stomach. Although, I did manage to feel rock hard abs under. That made me wonder…. I wanted to peel back that shirt and reveal them. But I couldn't.

"Really?" He raised an eyebrow as he rolled over, hovering above my body only slightly and looking me straight in the eyes. He forced his knees between my legs, causing them to stay open and my mouth dropped open at loss of words. He leaned down to whisper his hot breath in my ear. "Sweetheart, don't play games with me."

His tongue shot out to lick my earlobe and I felt chills run all over my body, not bad ones either. They were chills that I wanted to feel more of. Except he rolled over on his own half of my bed with this smug smirk on his face while I blushed and remained speechless. Rarely did I ever not have something to say, but when it concerned stuff like that I was unspoken for.

I regained my voice. "Actually I was joking, as you obviously figured out. I wasn't about spending the night though. It's dark and dreary out there, and you were nice enough to protect me and everything. Why don't you stay in our guest room?"

"I should probably get home." Koga mumbled.

"It's just one innocent little night. You can call your parents and everything. I'll make sure that you're well taken care of!" I offered helpfully. "Look," I pointed out the window as the light rain that happened five minutes before we got here thicken and lightening highlighted the sky blue, "it's miserable out there. It's best to just stay inside."

"Fine, one night. I don't feel like getting caught up with Xavier's bitch though." He said coolly as he began to lift his body from my bed. My eyes shot sparks and I grabbed him by the throat once he was in a sitting position and forced him back against the bed again. I straddled him and put my nose almost touching his.

"I am nobody's bitch and Xavier and I have been over. Understand that? Good. Don't fuck with me Koga; you have no idea what the hell you could be getting into." I warned before moving off of the shocked boy. "Shocking, I know, how I can go from this sweet little innocent cheerleader to somebody who's seen such gruesome deaths that she shouldn't be able to sleep at night. I do though, because my consciousness is limited. Remember that before you insult me."

Koga

Ayame showed me where I'd be sleeping and informed her butler, who gave me a scrutinizing look but accepted nonetheless. I tugged my ponytail out and threw my shirt to the ground. I unbuttoned my jeans and slide them down my legs, kicking them off with my shoes. I sat on the edge of the bed and peeled my socks off, then rested my elbows on my knees and thought.

Who knew that I'd get into a situation like this all because I agreed to go on a date with Kagome's friend? It wasn't like I even cared about who the girl was, or where she came from. I wanted Kagome and she was my main goal for the night. Then the stupid girl made me ditch her and jump out of a limo to save her ass.

I heard a vibrating noise and looked at the floor, where a small sectioned was lighted up. I was confused at first, before I remembered that I'd slipped Ayame's phone in my pocket when she turned her back to show me around. I was sleeping in a strange house; I had to know more about the owner. Especially since she had been involved in a gang. A rival gang at that.

I picked it up, shifting around the gun, and looked at what was coming up. An incoming call from Xavier. My eyes narrowed immediately, she was keeping something from me. I slide it open. "Hello?"

"Who the fuck is this? Is this the guy that was with Ayame? Put her on the fucking phone right now or I swear to God I will kill that bitch in her sleep. She thinks she can fucking leave me and go for some trash like you? I'll been keeping a look out for you buddy and when I fucking find you, you're gonna wish you were fucking dead." He snapped.

"Smoke some weed, you obviously need to calm down. Ayame's sleeping right now but I'll be sure to pass on the message. Night, 'Zay-vee-er'." I taunted before hanging up. I smirked before I raided through the text messages. My interest was in the outbox, and her messages to Sango.

I can't believe this is happening. I was relying on being with him. I've waited forever. I've never even kissed another boy other than that mistake from my past. Sango, I'm not this strong. It's killing me, and there's just never enough alcohol. There was none left when I woke up this morning and Kane isn't home. I can't. I'm just. Wow.

That sparked my curiosity to look at the response Sango have given.

Ayame, maybe you need to go through some consoling again? I just don't want it to end up like last time, when you found out about Xavier stalking you. Which you still need to do more about. I don't want you hurt.

So the kid really did relentlessly stalk her? Which meant that he probably seen my face and knew who's blood he wanted. I always managed to dig my own grave, didn't I? I groaned and feel back onto the bed. I had different things to worry about. Goodnight world.
