Chapter 5- Best Friends Forever
After lunch Inu drove me home and I started to get ready. I must have tried on a bazillion different outfits before finding the right one. I then heard a knock at the door and ran downstairs to get it. It was Inuyasha.fairly dressed up.

"let's go.." he said while taking my hand.

When we finally got to the party there were a bunch of people there. Much to my relief, I knew most of them. We didn't really know where to go before we saw a big circle of people. We went over to it and found an opening and sat down. The group was playing truth or dare. I saw my friend Sango and waved from across the circle. We had been friends for a while but have since, drifted apart a little.

"my turn" said Sango maliciously as she cracked her knuckles. "Inuyasha..truth or dare?"

"dare" Inu said, not to anyones surprise.

"well..hmmm...you and Kagome have been friends for a long time..right?" she said as she looked at us both closely.me shifting uncomfortably, and Inuyasha by my side, staring right at her.

"I thought this was a dare." said Inuyasha.

"Hold on, I'm getting to that." She said still smiling evily at me.

"ok.ya. Kagome and I have been friends for 10 years..whats it have to do wit." he said before Sango cut him off.

"heh. Heh. Well then.your dare..is to FRENCH kiss Kagome for..2 mintues" she said as my eyes widened. Inuyasha was known not to back down from a dare.I could feel a blush coming already.

"ok." he said. I shivered a bit.

"this is going to be weird." I said as he turned towards me with a look in his eyes that made me blush even more. He leaned in and we started to kiss. Wow.he's a good kisser. I thought as I started to get really into it, like it was with a boyfriend or something. And to me, it seemed like he was getting into it too. I guess we were so into it that we didn't hear Sango calling our names in amusement.

"Inuyashaaaaa, Kagommeeee. It's been 7 minutes!!"

"wow.umm..sorry.." I said, still kind of out of it. Pondering the fact that I had just kissed my best friend..for 5 minutes longer than dared..and actually enjoyed it.

I turned to Inu, who had a puzzled look on his face..as if deep in thought.

"Inu..I wanna go home..I'm sorry if you wanna say..but i..I just don't want to stay here anymore." I said, trying to ignore the looks I was getting.

"umm.sure Kag. Let's go." he said while blushing at the look Sango was giving him. We then got in his car as he reached to put the keys into the ignition. Then he stopped and looked at me.

"Kagome...did you hate that.or.what?"

I blushed. "well..heh heh" I said as I felt the heat rushing to my face again. "it..was actually nice.I could kind of see how Kikyou wanted to kiss you all the time..your great at it." I said as I put my hands over my face in embarrassment.

He laughed lightly "thanks Kag..and likewise.." He said smiling. And then before we knew it we were kissing again. But this time was different..we were alone.and we actually wanted to do it.. After a few minutes I broke the kiss and blushed more.if possible.

"umm.Inuyasha.." I said as he looked at me in confusion. I pointed towards the whole group that was playing truth or dare with it. They had gigantic smiles and sango was waving at us with one hand, with a camera in the other hand. I slumped down in my seat, my cheaks burning.

"let's go.." he said as he started the car and drove home.

"I'm sorry Kagome.if you don't want..I..understand."

"no, Inu...I..um.we'll talk about it when we get home..ill call you.." I said as we both were flustered with our words, we didn't talk all the way home.

I got out of his car when we reached our houses and ran to my door. I ran up to my room and sat by my window. Inuyasha's light just turned on, in his room. He took off his coat and sat down next to the phone.looks like I better call I thought. I then dialed the number I had known forever.and he picked it up on the first ring.

"kagome..did those.did those kisses mean anything?" he said while staring out his window at me. I stared back, and was silent for a few minutes, not knowing what to say. But he spoke again.

"ill be right over" he said. I watched him run out of his house, and dash to my door. He rang my doorbell, I hesitantly walked down the stairs and let him in. he and I walked up the stairs in silence. We finally reached my room and he sat in a chair, while I plopped down on my bed.

"so.Kagome..this is so weird.I know.but we've been friends for a long time..and the kisses don't have to change anything.if you don't want them to..I just want to know how you feel.."

"well." I said as I stared into his deep blue eyes (a/n: I love blue eyes on guys..so this is my story.ill give him some! Lol). "you've always been there for me..through thick and thin..and I've seen how commited you are..and I really did like those kisses." I said rather calmly as I smiled at him.

"so..i guess the question is.friends? Or..more than friends? I never thought I'd be asking this...oh and whatever you choose is fine with me.." he said rather nervously. I just smiled, took his hands and kissed him gently. I could feel that he was happy with my 'answer', as he returned the kiss passionatly.

"thanks, Kag...but do you know what you helped me realize?"

"hmm?" I asked as he moved over and sat on my bed.

"that...I love you.."

"i..I love you too Inu"
