It had been three weeks since the Koga, incident and things had changed and become incredible awkward for all of the friends. Ayame had not spoken one word to Koga, in fact she got her schedule changed and avoided him at all cost, which had been taking a toll on her friends ships with the others. But through this time she had a chance to better get acquainted with Alex whom she found fascinating. He was a fire demon, who was afraid of fire. They had become good friends and began hanging out with each other after school and on the weekends. They were not dating but they both knew that sometime in the future they would be. As Ayame walked into school the Friday before a three day weekend she bumped into the one person whom she had been avoiding, Koga held out his hand and she accepted it, they did not speak anything to one another just looked into each other's eyes before walking away. Ayame saw Sango and Rin and flagged them down.

"So Ayame are you ok, I mean you just ran into you ex-best friend?" Sango said bluntly. The best thing about Sango was her cut throat nature, she was honest and it was a lot easier to take then people trying to avoid stepping on glass around you.

"It doesn't bother me as much as it would have in the beginning Sango-chan, I mean I am happy because though I am no longer speaking to Koga, I have gained a new friendship with Alex and it's as if we have known each other for years." Ayame said slouching against the locker.

Rin smiled "I am glad you and Alex are getting along, it has been a while since he has been this happy, even cook says she can't remember the last time he gave a genuine smile to anyone."

The bell for first period Rang and the girls headed off to their respective classes awaiting the end of the day so that they could begin to enjoy their vacation.

Koga Sat outside watching everyone go to class, his heart was heavy and his head hung low, he felt like shit every day and there was nothing he could do to fix it. It was so strange for him to see Ayame every day and not be able to speak with her or hang out as friends would. But, then again could you even call them friends anymore? She had cut all ties with him and that killed him inside. Although he backed out of their arranged marriage they should still be friends in his opinion. But, they were no longer that in fact she treated him like the enemy which he did not expect from her.

As he silently wallowed in self-pity, Inuyasha and Miroku approached him. For the past three weeks they had tried everything they could to cheer their friend up, or in Inuyasha's case was forced to do thanks to Miroku being friends with Koga. Inuyasha personally thought he was getting what he deserved for breaking Ayame's heart.

"Koga if you keep skipping class you're going to fail and their going to kick you off the football team. Come on man she's just a girl who cares if she doesn't want to be your friend, there are plenty of fish in the sea that is High School" Miroku said confidently.

Koga just nodded ignoring his words. " Koga look at Inuyasha here he is living it up he has Kagome wrapped around his fingers without her being his girlfriend so he is still able to play the field." Miroku continued earning a growl from both Inuyasha and Koga.

"Hey don't drag me and Kagome into this man, just cause she ain't my girlfriend does not mean that I am going to fuck things up with her, by going around with some trash bag hoe." Inuyasha said.

Miroku nodded "come on Koga its almost half way through the school year, you can't do this to yourself"

Koga looked up at the sky Miroku had a point, he had chosen this road and he was made aware of the consequences so he would have to live with them.

"I guess you right for once in your life Miroku." Koga said. He stood up and sped off to class. What was life without its little challenges the least he could do was move on and then maybe one day he could mend the broken friendship he had come to dwell on for three weeks.

Inuyasha and Miroku sat under the tree, they had been obedient students for three weeks and now it was time for a well-deserved break.

"Hey Miroku, I know we have been friends since birth but seriously you need to learn when to shut up." Inuyasha said watching the clouds as they passed over the morning sun allowing a bit of shade and coolness, at least for the moment.

"Whatever are you talking about Inuyasha?" Miroku asked watching the parking lot full of cars and students sneaking off campus to get a head start on their vacation.

"You keep bringing the idea of me and Kagome being in a relationship up far too often and most of the time in front of her. I like her a lot but I am only a freshman the year just began so I am not ready for a relationship, but if you dumb ass keeps bringing it up in front of her she gonna start to want one and I am not gonna be able to give her that." Inuyasha said this with such seriousness that Miroku looked at him.

"What that's stupid Inuyasha; if you care about her as much as you say you do you should try to at least give a relationship a chance. I mean if Sango even gave me the time of day we would definitely be together already." Miroku said. "Unless, there is someone else that has caught you interest, it is possible is it not." Miroku inquired the look on Inuyasha's face said he had guessed right.

"Well Kikyo asked me out the other day and I told her I would have to think about it." Inuyasha paused "She good-looking kind of ditzy but still she is hot." Inuyasha said.

"Then why not give her a chance, I mean you and Kagome aren't even dating so there is no problem."

They both sat under the tree till lunch when they decided to join their friends. When they got to the cafeteria they skipped in line and got their meat loaf surprise. Inuyasha spotted the girls heading outside and quickly followed them; Koga joined them while Ayame sat with Alex and his friends inside.

"So what's everybody doing this weekend, I heard theirs a party at Hiten's place, is anyone going?" Rin asked as she looked at the cafeteria door waiting for her boyfriend to come out and join them.

"I don't know, I was thinking about going to the beach, so if I were going to the beach I would leave tonight." Sango said eating an ice cream trying to cool off from the bizarre heat of the October afternoon.

"Sango, bikini, looks like I am at the beach to" Miroku said whimsically

"Oh no you don't you stay away from me or I will tell my brother sand he will see to your demise.

Everyone chuckled at this but Miroku who gave Sango sad eyes, which she giggled at and playfully slapped his cheek.

"What about you Inuyasha?" came Rin's voice curious as to see if her would be interrupting her weekend with her boyfriend.

"I am going out this weekend." He said looking at his food, and glancing to gage Kagome's reaction. She was not even looking at him but at her phone texting some unknown person.

"Oh with Kagome?" Rin asked sure that her friend would be deleted to spend the weekend with the boy she liked, and who did not have the courage to ask her to be his girlfriend. Or at least that was what Rin suspected.

"Actually no Kikyo asked me out and I thought It would be a good idea." Inuyasha said blatantly.

Everyone looked to Kagome to see what she would have to say. Kagome felt their stares and to be honest inside she was furious, was he that much of an idiot or was she. They kissed a lot; she even let his go to second base with her. This had her wondering just what she was to Inuyasha but she would not let him know she was upset in fact she would get even.

"What are you guys looking at it's not like were dating he's free to date who he wants" Kagome said.

Inuyasha was happy at her answer, now he knew he could date and still hang out with Kagome. He smirked within they could hang out or even better make out.

"Oh that's cool so that means you can go out with Bankotsu." Rin said

Inuyasha immediately looked up at Kagome who shook her head.

"I guess you're right, so that means I will see you at Hiten's party then Rin." Kagome said nonchalantly, while Rin nodded her head enthusiastically.

Inuyasha was in shook sure he could date other people and play the field, but he was not thinking the same for Kagome, she was his and he was not one to share what was his.

Kagome stood up "I guess I will go tell Bankotsu then." She said walking away adding an extra sway in her hips just for Inuyasha who she knew would be fuming from this information.

Inuyasha had told her a week ago about the possessive nature of dogs demons, and really should care less at this point. If he was allowed to date other people then so would she, and she would make him regret his decision. To Kagome it would have been better if he just came out and played the lets just be friend's card because I am not ready for a relationship, but he didn't. She smirked when she got into the Cafeteria he would learn he could not get his cake and eat it to.

Inuyasha watched as she walked off he was fuming at what had just happened. Everyone in their group could see this and they all snickered at his response.

"Come on Inuyasha what did you expect?" Sango asked "A lot of guys are vying for her attention and even though you both are close you have no legitimate claim on her you know."

Inuyasha just growled not really knowing what to say, Sango had a point a stupid point and he knew that Kagome was going to prove it. Too bad she would have another thing coming when he totally ignored her at the party and gave all his attention to Kikyo.

Sesshomaru watched his stupid brother piss off his friends sister, he enjoyed it finally someone other than himself to put the brat to put in his place. Sesshomaru sighed as he leaned against his car ignoring his friends' chit chat; instead he busied himself with looking at his girlfriend, the bright eyes jewel of his world. He knew she was waiting for him to go sit with them, but he would do no such thing. He saw her get up and leave her friends walking back into the school building. He did not even say goodbye to his friends as he followed after her. He was at the end of the hallway watching her look through her locker for the books she would need for her afternoon classes. He stealthily walked up to her.

"Sesshomaru I can feel your aura, try not to get to excited if you're going to sneak up on me!" Rin giggled. As, Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her waist, growling lowly but she could still hear it.

It amazed him that in such a short time of being together she knew him to well and could sense his presence when nobody not even his father could. He placed soft kisses down her neck she tilted her head to the side giving him the submissiveness he wanted. She spun around in his arms and kissed him passionately taking him by surprise as she forced her tongue into his mouth. He growled in pleasure, his little minx was challenging him and he liked it a little too much. Rin gasped and pulled away as she felt her boyfriend's arousal straining against his pants.

Sesshomaru chuckled "Little one if you're not ready for that, then I suggest, you stop with the teasing."

Rin blushed and nodded as he placed a kiss on her forehead. "So are we going to Hiten's party tonight?" she asked

Sesshomaru smiled "if you going to be like this no we will be in my room the whole weekend." He chuckled. Rin playfully slapped his chest. "If you want we will."

"I do cause there is gonna be a show tonight that I do not want to miss"
