Chapter 11: Dares & Truths
I present the latest chapter in Charm Bracelet! enjoyInuyasha's horse kept on going toward Kagome's. He was still embarrassed about this morning. He didn't know what got into him. He didn't know whether to apologize to her or just forget the whole thing ever happened. God damn horse! Stop going after Kagome's horse! Inuyasha sniffed the air, he smelled the horse's arousal. Crap! It's mating season, and this damn horse is infatuated with Kagome's!
Why does Inuyasha keep coming next to me? Kagome noticed that he was riding next to her. Your in love with him… A voice said in her head. She was rather stunned of what she heard, the voice kept talking, You love him and don't deny it. You are in love with him… Kagome answered the voice. I… I don't know. Maybe… maybe I do love him… She looked at Inuyasha He seemed to have a face of disgust.
Kagome smiled. I guess do love him. I accept him, his flaws, but he… doesn't love me back…
"Wow, Sango, it's been a whole five minutes and Inuyasha hasn't fought with Kagome! " Miroku said rather loudly to Sango.
"Shut up Miroku! And besides Kagome's the one who always bitching 'bout stuff!" Inuyasha snapped back from his thoughts.
Kagome halted her horse. " What?" Kagome said not even looking at Inuyasha.
"Well, your always starting arguments with me," Inuyasha looked towards Kagome and regretted each word he said when he saw Kagome's face.
"So, is that it huh?" Kagome was in very close to tears, "Why do you hang out with me so much? Why do you call me so much then? So you can argue with me?!"
Inuyasha smelled the salt in Kagome's tears Oh hell, did I make her cry?
"Maybe it's a good thing I'm going to Harvard! Then you can be happy, and stay with Kikyo!"
Kagome couldn't tell why she was going to cry. Why was she being so emotional? She couldn't help it. She loved Inuyasha but thought he didn't love her back. How could he?
"Inuyasha, I HATE you!" Kagome yelled at him. She had been so loud, so sudden, that not only did her voice pierced Inuyasha's heart, but it startled her horse. She was thrown off and her horse galloped off the trail and ran into the wood.
Miroku and Sango jumped off their horses to see if Kagome was ok. Inuyasha beat them though, he helped Kagome up.
Miroku tied his horse to a tree and so did Sango, and they raced off after Kagome's horse. Inuyasha was left to take care of Kagome. She had a terrible head ache, but otherwise ok. He had to tie his horse to a tree to keep it from chasing Kagome's horse. Kagome sat underneath a tree and she looked over to Inuyasha. When he had finished tying his horse, he sat down and sulked underneath a tree. He was really hurt when Kagome said she hated him. She stood up and tried to walk over to him. For some reason, she got weak in the knees and couldn't walk to far. She lost all feeling in her legs and fell forward. Inuyasha caught her just before she fell down. He walked her in to the shade of the tree. She kneeled down and Inuyasha sat next to her.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and realized she had gone a bit overboard when she said she hated him. She sighed.
"Inuyasha, I'm sorry…" Kagome's head ache had gotten worse, " I don't hate you."
"Kagome, I, I should say I'm sorry. You don't bitch…" Inuyasha felt her head against his shoulder. She fell asleep on him. Inuyasha laid his cheek on her head.
I want to tell her… How much I love her…
"Your infatuated with her, how sweet."
Inuyasha snapped his head up and saw his brother Sesshomaru standing in front of him. Inuyasha was about to insult him when he saw a girl clinging to his arm. She was wearing a orange dress that went down to right above her knees. Her hair was in the same fashion the night he saw her. She had a mark on her neck and she had Sesshomaru scent all over her. Inuyasha grinned.
"So, the mighty Sesshomaru has a soft side?"
To Inuyasha's great surprise Sesshomaru smiled back at him.
"I have found a mate," He turned and looked at Rin, "And my love."
Inuyasha was in a state of disgust when his half-brother kissed the girl.
"You, little brother, should tell the miko how you feel about her."
"Why should you care-" Inuyasha paused, "What did you call her?"
"The ningen you are in love with, posses the powers of a miko."
"Kagome? A priestess?" Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, her hair fell across her face. Inuyasha brush it behind her ear. "But how?" Inuyasha looked up and found his brother gone along with the girl. Inuyasha thought for a while. Kagome had never had training, not like Miroku. She had moved from Japan to California when she was in fourth grade. She did say in Japan she lived near a shrine…
Miroku walked next to Sango. She is the most beautiful person in the world Sango kept calling the horse. Miroku whistled and called it also.
Sango looked at Miroku. It was a little warm out side and Miroku with his sweater on, he was sweating. Damn, Miroku's hot when he is sweating. Sango had always had a little crush on Miroku, ever since they were introduced. Kagome had been best friends with Sango since before they were born. But when Kagome started hanging out with Inuyasha, she had another best friend. Kagome didn't want Sango to feel left out, so when Sango came over and Inuyasha wanted to hang out he would bring his best friend. Sango hated that he was a perverted, womanizer, hottie. But he was the only guy she could talk to and hang out, as much as she does with Kagome.
"Sango, I found her!" Miroku ran over to the horse and calmed her down.
Sango just stared at him, Holy crap, Miroku's gorgeous. She shook her head, NO! Sango bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! She walked over to Miroku and took the horse leading it back toward Inuyasha and Kagome. Miroku looked at Sango, She's so forceful. His eyes went from her long chocolate brown hair, to her bare shoulders. Then his eyes traveled lower. Sango lost in thought, felt something she knew only Miroku could cause. She blushed very deeply, turn around and slapped him.
Few moments passed, and Miroku and Sango arrived with Kagome's horse. Miroku was sporting a fresh hand print on his face. Sango looked extremely annoyed. Inuyasha woke Kagome asked if she was ok. After insisting to every one she was just fine, they continued the ride.
"Miroku where does this trail lead to?" Sango asked after ten more minutes.
"Wait and you'll see."
"Feh, I'm hungry!" Inuyasha complained.
"Hold on Inuyasha, Sango and I packed lunch. So when we get to where ever Miroku is taking us, we can have a picnic!" Kagome said. Sango turned around and nodded, as she patted a blanket and basket she had.
After a while, the trees along the trail, lessened. Inuyasha was over come by the smell of salty water. It wasn't tears, this salty air tasted good. The arrived to a cliff that over looked the ocean. Kagome and Sango where amazed with the sight, their eyes widen when they saw the big beautiful sea.
After tying the horses to a post they (Kagome, Sango) set up a picnic, while Miroku and Inuyasha got wood for the fire pit. Once they sat down Inuyasha looked around and noticed his favorite food wasn't there. He started munching on sandwich sadly.
"Oh!" Kagome jumped up, startling every one. She ran over to her small yellow bag and started rummaging through it. Inuyasha's face lit up when he saw what she pulled out.
"RAMEN!"
Kagome smiled, "Yep, how could I forget?" After a few moments of heating water, Inuyasha was grubbing on ramen and Kagome looked at him. God he's adorable…
After there lunch, they rode around with the horses. They played games and had races, which ended with and annoyed Inuyasha and a victorious Sango. When their two hours with the horses were up, Sango was saddened. She seemed to really like horses. Miroku took mental note of that.
They headed back to the hotel when it was around 2 o'clock. As they sat in the hotel room, Sango and Kagome we're on the bed and Inuyasha was n the floor, as well as Miroku. They we're in the middle of truth or dare.
"Ok… Miroku." Kagome smiled at him. "Truth or dare?"
Miroku thought about it, truth would show that he is an open person and doesn't mind sharing. No, that a wimpy choice, I want to impress Sango,
"Dare."
Kagome smiled, and looked around the room. Her eyes stayed on Sango for awhile then landed on Inuyasha. She smiled.
"Inuyasha, would you like to help Miroku with his dare?" Kagome tried to look as innocent as possible. It worked.
"Sure." Inuyasha grunted.
Kagome smirked and turned back to Miroku. "Miroku, I dare you," She tried to contain her laughter, "to stroke Inuyasha's butt."
"WHAT?!" Inuyasha and Miroku yelled in unison.
Sango had fallen off the bed laughing, and very close to tears.
"This isn't fair!" Inuyasha shouted.
"But you agreed." Kagome replied.
"That was before I knew what I was going to do."
"It's not my fault you stupidly volunteered."
"I'd much rather stroke Sango's butt." Miroku muttered, no one heard. He sat his legs crossed, and arms crossed across his chest. He was not happy with his dare.
Sango noticed his displeasure. She sat up, "But Miroku, I thought you liked stroking butts." She said this holding back a fit of giggles.
"Girl backsides! Not guys! And Inuyasha's my best friend!" Miroku yelled back.
"A dare's, a dare." Kagome said.
Miroku looked over to Inuyasha as to say I'm sorry.
"Go on, ten seconds, I'll count." Kagome said.
Miroku crawled over to Inuyasha and said, "I promise you I am not gay, or bi."
"Ready go... 1...2...3" Kagome was in a giggle fit.
This is disgusting, I think I going to gag!
"4...5...6..."
Miroku wasn't having fun, neither was Inuyasha.
"7...8...9..."
Miroku, NEVER again, pick dare!
"10!"
Miroku ran to the bathroom, Inuyasha was glaring at Kagome. "I will get you for that!" he told her.
When Miroku came back, he sat down and took his turn.
"Sango, Truth or Dare?"
Sango looked at Miroku, she wasn't risking any thing.
"Truth."
Rather disappointed Miroku asked his question.
"Do you have a crush on someone in our grade?"
Sango blushed and replied in a whisper "Yes."
Miroku's eyes widen, "Who?"
Sango blush got deeper, "Your only allowed one question dumb ass!"
Miroku again sat there disappointed.
Sango turned to Inuyasha, she smirked. "Inuyasha, Truth or Dare?"
After what happen to Miroku, Sango didn't think that Inuyasha was going to pick dare.
"Truth."
Sango was right. "Inuyasha," Sango chose her words carefully. "How far do your feelings for Kagome go?"
Miroku's eyes widened, He can't avoid it now.
"Sango!" Kagome was blushing deeply.
Inuyasha was in deep thought, He loved Kagome. He knew he did. But he didn't want to tell her that, not right now.
"Inuyasha, answer already." Sango said impatiently.
"We know what the answer is already, you guys have been at it for six years now. Just asked her out." Miroku added in.
Kagome shifted around, uncomfortably. Did Inuyasha really have feeling for her. Sango had told me that we should go out. Inuyasha had to have at least a crush on me, she said. We hung out and talked to much to not like each other.
Inuyasha made up his mind. He was a deep shade of crimson,
"I… Maybe… Maybe…I…" He stood up and walked over to his bag and got two white bags out. He threw one to Miroku. Miroku looked at the bag then to Inuyasha he gave a look as if to ask, Me too? Inuyasha stared at him and nodded his head. Miroku sighed then turned to Sango. He might as well go first. Inuyasha wasn't about to step up.
"Sango, I know… I know I might be a perv at times…" Oh, hell this is tougher than I thought… Miroku took a deep breath. "I really like you... and..." He pulled out the stunning gold charm bracelet. It had six gold charms. A sun, asoccer ball, a kitten, hirikocs, an S and a heart.
"Sango, I love every thing about you. Your beauty," he touched the sun, "And your strength. This here," He pointed out the hirikocs. "Was used by demon slayers, in Japan Feudal era. And a very famous girl demon slayer, used the hirikos." He took her hand and slipped the bracelet on it. "Sango, will you be my girlfriend?"
