I Dare You!

Chapter 6: Blackmail

Kagome looked expectantly at Inuyasha waiting to see what had got him so unsettled. Inuyasha couldn't look into Kagome's eyes as he stumbled over his question. "Ummm...Kagome....will you go out with me tonight?"

Kagome was shocked, this was not on her list of things that Inuyasha would ever ask her. She recovered herself and started to laugh very loudly. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Very funny Inuyasha! I almost believed that performance, the blush and nervousness were a stroke of genius! YOU SHOULD BECOME AN ACTOR!!!!!" Kagome finished the last part yelling as loud as she could. Damn him for making her almost wish he was serious!

"Fine. But if you don't come tonight these pictures just might get photocopies and handed out." Inuyasha said calmly, pulling out a stack of photos. "Remember that time last year when we were both invited to an awards ceremony? Some guy spiked the punch and you were really nervous so you drank lots of punch? Then you got really really drunk and you went up to that man and said-"

"You promised you wouldn't say anything!" Kagome yelled angrily to Inuyasha. "And where did you get those pictures anyways?" She asked suspiciously.

"Well, I confiscated them from a rather...excited young man. I was going to destroy the film but I thought they might come in handy one day." Inuyasha answered smugly. "It seems I was right-"

Inuyasha paused as Kagome snatched the pictures out of his hand. She started to rip them into little pieces. Inuyasha smiled knowingly at the enraged Kagome. "Awwww, you are wrecking the photos. It doesn't matter though, I have copies at home."

"Are you blackmailing me?" Kagome asked carefully.

"Feh! Blackmail, shmackmail! But I suppose technically..." Inuyasha finished with a shrug.

Kagome froze, she knew she was in Inuyasha's power and she didn't like it one bit.

Inuyasha smirked at the confused Kagome chiding gently. "Come on. All you have to do is go out with me on one date and then I'll give you the negatives and the copies. It can't be that bad."

Kagome looked into Inuyasha's eyes without the usual anger or hate but instead with a mixture of defeat and sadness. Inuyasha almost told her he was just kidding but something stopped him.

"Fine. I'll come." She told Inuyasha.

Inuyasha smiled happily at Kagome, saying almost excitedly. "I'll come pick you up at six. Ok?"

Kagome nodded at Inuyasha, turning to walk away. She froze as she felt warm fingers close around her wrist. Turning her head she looked into the liquid gaze of Inuyasha's eyes.

"WHO HOOO HOOOO!" Sango yelled down the hallway. Inuyasha and Kagome sprung apart, both not looking at each other.

"What going on? I don't get it!" Whined Shippo.

"Can't you tell? They're in looooooove!" Sango sang mockingly.

Kagome glared at her friend, stomping down the hallway to her locker. Inuyasha appeared to be flustered as he turned and strode the opposite way down the hallway and out some doors.

Everyone but the remarkably naive Shippo dreaded the next class.

***In a Dark Doorway***

A lone figure dressed in black bent to pick up the incriminating photos. The light fell on his silver hair and red tiger stripes. He laughed evilly as he flipped through each scene. A picture of Kagome dancing drunkly on a stage, one of her sprawled on some young guy. And his favorite was a picture of a well-known athlete pounded into pulp apparently by Kagome.

His golden eyes flashed as he cackled. "Heh! Heh! Heh! This is becoming very...very...interesting."

So chapter six is finally done. It's a little short but I had some trouble coming up with ideas of what the pictures should be of. Thank-you everyone who reviewed it makes me so very very happy!
