The Foreign Exchange Student

Ch. 12 A few questions

 

 

The nigh after they got back from court was not a very exciting one. Kagome went home to get a good nights rest, as long as she was in her time she was going to take advantage of it. Ashley stayed in her room and thought about a lot of different things. Mainly why Kagome seemed to be so jumpy around Jake. `I wonder if she knows him somehow. I think that he said he lived here his whole life so maybe she does know him somehow…' Ashley was sick of it going through her head so she decided to go and ask Jake about it.

 

She got out of the bed and went into the living room. He was sitting on a chair in front of the T.V. When Ashley came into the room Jake looked at her, almost like expecting her to come. “Hey Jake can I ask you something?” Ashley said to him as she sat down in a chair next to him.

 

“You just have, but you can ask something else if you wish,” Jake said with a smile. Ashley smiled back at him cause she could tell he was teasing her. “Well do you know Kagome from somewhere? Because when she came here earlier she was kind of surprised to see you.”

 

Jake looked at her for a second before answering her, “Yes I do know her. I see her… around sometimes.”

 

“Oh ok… and I have one more question, if you don't mind answering it.” Ashley said and she waited for his nod to continue. “How did your wife and daughter die?” Jake went stiff; Ashley could tell she had hit something that he was not really comfortable discussing so she added quickly, “You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.”

 

“No, it is alright. I knew you would ask eventually. I am actually surprised you didn't ask sooner then this.” Jake hesitated for a second before getting into the story. “A long time ago there was a terrible man who wanted something that a friend of mine possessed. He was willing to go to any length to get it. I was out with a friend and got a message that someone had broken into my house and had kidnapped my daughter. By the time I got there no one was around. My wife had gone after her. I followed the clues and went to where it looked like they were. When I got there, there was so much blood all over the place… I was to late to save my wife. She was already dead when I got there. My daughter was barely alive by the time that I got there, and she died. I was holding her when she took her last breath. Something happened and both of their bodies disappeared. I still don't know what happened to them, the bodies were never found. Not that anyone told me about anyway. Ever since then I have been in pain from it. I finally decided to move on from them, there is no way I can get them back now.”

 

Ashley felt touched by his story. “I know what it feels like to lose a family. I lost 2 actually. Although I only really knew one of them well, it still hurts. I am sorry…”

 

Jake looked at her with a mist in his eye, “Don't be sorry. I do know what happened to your family, and that is one of the reasons I picked you. I thought we might be able to help each other heal a little bit. Although now I know more then I did.”

 

“You know more then you did? What is that supposed to mean?”

 

“I can't tell you right now, but you will understand soon enough.” Jake said as Ashley nodded. “One more thing Ashley, do not tell anyone about what happened with my family. You will know soon enough why, but you can't tell anyone.”

 

“That makes no sense. Why can't I?” Ashley asked him.

 

“You will know soon,” he said to her. “Now isn't it about time for you to be getting to bed? You will be leaving again tomorrow will you not?” Ashley nodded and stood up. Quietly she walked to her room saying goodnight on the way. She was so tired and as soon as she lay down she was asleep.

 

 

 

The next morning she woke up to a phone ringing. Ashley groaned and looked at the clock, 9:30. She crawled out of bed and went to get the phone. Jake was nowhere to be seen. When she answered the phone she said “Hello” with a big yawn. The person on the other end laughed.

 

“Hey Ashley, It's Kagome. Are you gonna come back with me or do u need some time to recuperate?” Kagome asked her.

 

“I will come, give me about an hour to get a shower and stuff ok?” Ashley answered her. Kagome hung up a few seconds later and Ashley got into the shower.

 

45 minutes later Ashley was on her way to Kagome's house. She was a little early but she didn't think anyone would really care about that. She walked up the stairs and saw that Kagome was sitting on the porch waiting for her. “Ready to go?” She asked Ashley as she got up the last step. Ashley nodded and they went to the well.

 

Once on the other side of the well they both climbed out and went to the village to find all of their friends. It was pretty easy to find Miroku and Sango because of the loud crack they heard as soon as they got there.

 

“I guess Miroku couldn't keep his hands to himself,” Kagome said as they walked over to the 2 of them, Miroku out cold on the ground. Ashley and Sango shook their heads while the three of them went onto the hut and saw that Koga and Inuyasha were actually sitting there talking like NORMAL people.

 

“Whoa what happened to you two?” Sango asked as they both stopped talking when the others came into the hut.

 

“Nothing is wring, I was just telling mutt-face how fucked he is lately,” Koga said with a smirk in Ashley's direction. Ashley rolled her eyes, clearly not impressed with how ignorant he was being.

 

“Well anyway, we should get going, we did lose out on a lot of time,” Kagome said and they all went outside to find Miroku waking up and rubbing his head.

 

 

 

As they all walked on there way Koga couldn't help but think about the conversation he had with Inuyasha earlier that day. `Should I just talk to her about it? She looked like she hated me earlier. I hate having to take Inuyasha's advice… but I have to admit he is right. Damn it I don't know what to do.' He continued thinking about what happened earlier as they walked.

 

<>Flashback<>

 

Inuyasha and Koga were sitting in the hut staring at each other. Both of them got a whiff of something that smelled heavenly. Kagome and Ashley, and they were both in heat. Koga instantly went stiff when he smelled it. The smell of Ashley affected him more then the scent of Kagome, did that mean that he was finally over her?

 

Inuyasha noticed the scents too. But Kagome got him excited. Normally he could control himself when she was around because he was so used to it but not right now… Both of the guys groaned then looked at the other one, both knowing what caused the distress.

 

“So you got a thing for Ashley don't you?” Inuyasha teased him with a smirk on his face. Koga shot him a glare that clearly told him to shut up. Inuyasha wasn't done yet though. “Why the hell are you always so stupid? When you wanted Kagome you let everyone know even though she was clearly taken. When you want Ashley you keep it all to yourself even though she is available.”

 

Koga looked at him in disbelief. Was he actually trying to be civil and offer some type of advice? `I want to see where he goes with this,' Koga thought to himself and looked away.

 

“What the hell are you talking about? I don't want Ashley any more then you do. Kagome is mine and not yours so don't even try it.” Koga snapped at Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha shook his head and said simply, “I can smell it on you whenever she is near. You have been awfully nice to her ever since she got here… It is so obvious you like her a lot. You better act on it before she is taken by someone else.”

 

Koga decided not to make a big deal of it and just go with the flow; he did have some questions he wanted answers to anyway… “Well how am I supposed to do that? Everyone still thinks I'm still hooked on Kagome.”

 

“How the hell should I know, just talk to her and try and be nice. Don't be an asshole around her. That kind of thing.” Inuyasha said to him. Both of them were kind of freaked out right now though. They weren't used to the whole be nice thing. But now that the competition over Kagome was over they might be able to be friends.

 

A couple minute of talking like normal people and the girls coming into the hut interrupted them.

<>End flashback<>

 

Koga shook his head and looked at Inuyasha. He was walking way ahead of everyone. To far for him to say something without it being obvious. When he looked for Ashley he noticed that she was dragging behind the group with a look of deep thought on her face. Koga glanced at the rest of them; they were all to busy to notice anything so he hung back to let Ashley catch up with him. When Ashley noticed this she stopped for a second. Letting the others get farther ahead of her before she walked up next to Koga.

 

Koga took a deep breath and was ready to tell Ashley how he really felt…
