Pretty Lady by kaoruhana

Grocery Store

Hi there!  This is my first story on Dokuga, so please tell me what you think about it.  I've always been a big fan of Dokuga but am just finding the courage to post stories now.  Anyway, here is the first chapter of "Pretty Lady".

I looked around the grocery store trying to spot something to hide around until Kouga left. I had met him two weeks ago through my best friend Sango who wanted me to move on from my failed relationship. I was more than ready to do so, but Kouga was too forward and possessive for my tastes. He had seen me at the nearby coffee shop and wanted to talk to me, probably to see why I had been avoiding him, but I just wanted him to get the hint and leave me alone.

I turned the corner and skidded to a halt at the end of the cereals aisle. There was a man in front of me with silver hair- the kind only one other person I knew had. He stooped down and I saw that he was talking to a little girl; this assured me that it wasn't Inuyasha. I was about to turn around to leave the aisle when I heard Kouga's voice. Without thinking, I walked up to the man, and stood next to him.

"Hi, look can you hide me from the man who's going to walk into this aisle within the next few moments? I really don't want to talk to him." The man stared at me deciding to leave I suppose, when the girl's voice stopped his movements.

"You're pretty!" she exclaimed. Finding himself distracted, the man turned to his four year old daughter, or someone around that age I guessed. "Please help her daddy!" she asked in a voice that I knew was impossible to resist. With a sigh, he moved closer to me and I inwardly squealed as I helped them pick out cereals. I saw Kouga walk into the aisle and then walk out looking defeated. I really didn't want to do this to him, but how else was I supposed to get through to a dense guy? Why not make him think I was taken already?

"Thank you." I murmured as the two began leaving the aisle to get the other groceries on their list.

"Hn." The man acknowledged me while the girl waved bye. I moved away and made my way to the car. As I drove home I remembered the man and his daughter. Wondering if he had a wife, I suddenly realized what I looked like.

"Great!" I mumbled out loud as I parked my car. "Now he probably thinks I'm a slut!"

It only gets better from here I assure you! Review please!
