Ayame sat across from Kagome outside of Starbucks on Wednesday afternoon. Ayame bit the inside of her lips and felt the guilt eat away at her. Kagome sipped her latte.

"I can't take it!" Ayame yelled and Kagome jumped up in her seat.

"Take what?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome, I know you may not believe me, but Kat is a butterfly demon and they have powers of manipulation. I think she may be after Inuyasha," Ayame rushed out. Kagome blinked at her… twice… 3x…

Then she laughed. Actually laughed.

Ayame watched her weirdly.

"Ayame, I know that. You think I trust Kat not to try something? Which is why I got this for Inuyasha," Kagome said.

"Got me what?" Inuyasha asked and sat next to Kagome. He kissed her cheek and she smiled. Kagome pulled out a long, rectangular box out of her bag. She gave it to him and smiled. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and opened it. It was a silver bracelet.

"I thought you would like it," Kagome said and put it on his wrist. Inuyasha wriggled his wrist to get the feel of it. It tingled a bit.

"I love it. I gotta go though. Got class," Inuyasha said before leaving again. Ayame raised an eyebrow in question. Kagome waved her off.

"I know what I'm doing Ayame. Don't worry," Kagome said and finished her latte.

Inuyasha sat in his lecture, bored stiff. He barely knew what the professor was talking about. He twitched his nose. Something was starting to stink in the room. He looked around to find the source. It was Kat. She caught his stare and smiled. He grimaced. She frowned in confusion. Inuyasha turned away from her and tried not to breathe to much.

Hey Kids!

I just thought it was about time to catch you all up an the latest gossip around campus! Thank me later with a hot vanilla caramel latte with foam. ;P

Miss Peppers.

1. Totally Preggers?

Is it true? Have you heard?

Yes it is. Not yet you haven't. ;)

Sources tell me a certain demon on campus is preggers. How will she take care of a kid with all the work that's being piled on her by her astrology prof?

Maybe her baby daddy will be there to hold the baby while she does her report on Orion's belt?

2. Rejection? Y-E-S.

Kat Shinto was seen flirting with a certain silver-haired hottie in Adv. Human Physiology. A wink and smile combination was used, a good choice. But, unfortunately not good enough. Said hottie was seem with a disgusted and puke-worthy face. Maybe he smelt something bad? We all know how important smell is those Inu's…

Sango rolled her eyes at the latest page on the "MissP" website. Why Ayame was reading it was beyond her.

"Why do you bother with that trash?" Sango asked.

"Kagome works fast. Kat has no effect on Inuyasha as of now according to Peppers," Ayame said and shoved the phone in Sango's face.

Sango read the phone. A demon's pregnant?

"A demon's pregnant?" Sango asked.

"Not that! The second one," Ayame said quickly. Sango raised an eyebrow at her and shrugged it off. Ayame was just weird like that. Sango read the pregnant demon article (if it could be called that) first.

There's only two Astrology lectures. There's only two female demons in that class. Ayame and…

Sago pushed the phone away and narrowed her eyes at Ayame. Ayame watched her weirdly.

"Ayame?" Sango asked.

The she wolf bit the inside of lips again.

Inuyasha and Kagome sat outside under some trees for shade. Students walked and chatted all around them. Kagome looked down at Inuyasha's wrist to see the bracelet shining. She smiled.

"Hey, you two. Can I join you?" Kat asked and sat down. Inuyasha scooted back from her and closer to Kagome. Kagome smiled to herself. Kat raised and eyebrow at him.

Kat would have growled if she could. She was releasing her musk at full power now and all it was doing was making him cower from her and closer to Kagome! Kat released her Attraction Pollen. She never had to use it before. Guys would fall for her after one whiff of her musk.

Inuyasha gagged a little and covered his nose. Kat glanced at something on his wrist that glimmered. It was a Repellant Bracelet. How did he get one? Kat looked to Kagome to see what she knew. Kagome was smirking at her. Kat's eye's widened. Kagome gave it to him. Kat knew Inuyasha wasn't going to get rid of something Kagome gave his so easily. Inuyasha was a lost cause. Kat looked around. Many of the guys around them were staring at her. She smiled and stood.

"Sorry guys, I gotta go. Stuff to do," Kat said. When she was leaving, her arm brushed against a boy's jacket. He followed her instantly. Kagome shook her head. Inuyasha took a deep breath. Kagome rubbed his back and smiled.

The apartment door opened and a happy Kagome stepped in. she went into the living room to see Ayame crying on Sango's shoulder. One thought passed through her head.

Kouga's a dead man.

Sango waved her over. Kagome put down her bag and sat next to Ayame.

"Ayame, what happened?" Kagome asked. Ayame put her face in her hands. Sango pointed to the discarded cell phone on the coffee table. Kagome reached for it.

"Number one," Ayame said, brokenly. Kagome skimmed it over quickly. She looked to Ayame who was looking back at her with tears in her eyes. Kagome put down the phone and hugged her best friend. Ayame continued to cry.

Ayame knocked on the guy's dorm room later that night. She wrung her fingers and could feel the sweat on her palms. Her heart was ready to explode with how fast it was beating. She had to tell him though…

Kouga opened the door and smiled. Instantly, he hugged Ayame and kissed her. She hugged him back half-heartedly.

"Kouga, we need to talk," Ayame said seriously. Kouga's smile faded.

Well… Ayame now has to confront Kouga. How will he take what she has to say? 'Till next time!
