A/N Oh jeez! I'm a bad, bad, bad girl! And not even in the kinky catholic school girl way! I mean for one I'm Anglican! And can you imagine me in a school uniform? Pardon me wile I gag on that image! Anyway it's about time I updated Shenanigans don't you think? This one if for Super Ceech who really wanted this chapter.

Inuyasha took Kagome's hand a little too firmly and tugged her to follow him. Kagome was hesitant and tried to break, his strong hanyou grip.

"Inuyasha, I don't know about this!" Kagome protested.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha said looking back.

In the dim light, all she could see clearly where his glowing amber eyes..

"You lost the bet!" he protested.

"I know," Kagome said, tugging her hand back. She sighed heavily. "But... I'm not sure I want to do this anymore!"

"You can't welch on a bet!" Inuyasha sounded completed scandalized. "If you won, I was going to wear you mom's dress and since I won we were...." he trailed off. His cheeks going a bit red. "Well, you know!"

Kagome felt her own cheeks heat up.

"But... what if someone stumbles upon us while we're... you know!"

Inuyasha had thought fo that several times himself, but he'd taken every precaution.

"Don't worry!" he said. "Sota's at a birthday party, your mom is knitting and your grandpa couldn't hear us if we were screaming at the top of our lungs and banging around."

Kagome couldn't help but think, knowing Inuyasha. There would be lots of screaming!

Inuyasha gave a noisy sigh.

"You don't have to," he said finally, sounding unhappy. "If it really makes you uncomfortable, you can welch!"

Kagome's relief was instantaneous, but short lived.

Inuyasha had really been looking forward to this all week. And he'd been making so many preparations. It wasn't really fair to call this off just because she wasn't completely okay with it.

"No," she said taking a breath. "I lost the bet and now we have to do this!" She forced a smile. "Besides, it will be fun!"

Inuyasha's smile was like heat lighting on his face. Making him look suddenly irresistible. Making Kagome's decision all that much easier.

She braced her hands on his shoulders and placed a chaste kiss on his cheek. She smiled at the uncertain look in Inuyasha's eyes.

"Come on!" she said with a grin. "Let's go do it!"

His face lit up and he nodded eagerly. He took her hand again and tugged her in the direction he'd been pulling her previously.

He pulled open a door and steadied Kagome.

"Just to make doubly sure no one will stumble across our activities," Inuyasha said. "I thought we could do it in the basement!"

Kagome looked in dismay, before sighing and rolling her eyes lovingly.

"Whatever you want Inuyasha," she told him. "As long as I get to rub your ears!"

She reached up and stroked his soft velvety ears.

They hurried down the steps.

At the bottom there were several candles, flickering with uncertain light, a blanket spread across the floor.

"I thought it would make things better," Inuyasha said. Watching her with uncertainty. "I mean the floor's kind of cold. And candles set the mood don't you think?"

Kagome nodded.

"The blanket will be good for the mess too," she said thoughtfully.

That startled Inuyasha.

"It's going to be messy?" he demanded her.

"Haven't you been watching TV?" Kagome demanded him. "Of course it's going to be messy?"

Inuyasha hesitated.

"It'll be fine!" Kagome assured him. "Don't worry!"

Inuyasha was reassured by this. He knew Kagome would never try to mislead him.

"What should I do?" he asked quietly.

"Well first," Kagome said eyeing the situation. "We make the necessary preparations..."

Inuyasha immediately stripped off his shirt and tossed it aside.

"Now what?" he asked expectantly.

"Now for the protection...." Kagome murmured, thinking ahead.

Once that was in place she said.

"And now we just settle down on the blanket like this...."

They sat down on the blanket facing one another.

Inuyasha waited expectantly for the next step.

"Um.." kagome said uncertain for the first time. "Why don't you take your thingie and..."

She trailed off, but Inuyasha didn't need instructions for that. He went to work.

"Are you sure you haven't done this before?" she muttered under her breath.

Inuyasha looked up, giving her a startled look.

"No, why" he asked.

"Just wondering," she answered.

She saw that he was finished.

"Okay now why don't you just let me take this off!" she said.

Inuyasha gasped as she did.

"Wow!" he said. "Look at that!" He hunched over to get a better look. He met her eyes. "Now what?"

"Now comes the serious part," Kagome said, taking a long shuddering breath.

She let out a little moan and lifted one hand.

"I don't want to touch it," she muttered under her breath.

"You have to touch it sooner or later," Inuyasha said firmly.

Kagome obeyed.

"It's slimy!" she protested.

"It is not!" Inuyasha disagreed. He followed her example. "Well okay maybe it is a little slimy!" he admitted.

Kagome giggled.

"Look! You can mush it!"

"Don't do that!" Inuyasha protested.

"Why not it's fun!" Kagome giggled.

"Well you're messing things up!" Inuyasha said sullenly.

"Fine!" Kagome said, rolling her eyes. "Let's do this thing!" She rolled her shoulders and assumed a determined expression.

Sota sighed and trudged through the kitchen dejectedly. He had to come home early from his friend's house because his friend had broken an expensive vase.

He was about to pass the basement door when he heard a loud giggle, followed by an indignant exclamation.

"You're getting it all over me!" Kagome complained hotly. "That's disgusting!"

"Oh you know you like it!" Inuyasha teased. "You're got it all over you anyway! I'm just evening things up a bit!"

"How would you like it if I started getting it all over you!" Kagome demanded.

Kagome cried out in disgust.

"Eww! Some got in my mouth!"

Sota's morbid curiosity finally drove him to inspect what was going on. He opened the door and went down the stairs, bracing himself for horrible emotional scarring.

"Hey!" Inuyasha protested. "Stop that!"

Sota peeked around the corner of the stairs.

"But I like doing it!" kagome replied sweetly. "And I think I deserve it after what you just did!"

Sota felt his eyes go wide.

"Guys?" he asked. "What are you doing?"

Kagome gave him a sharp look and leapt off Inuyasha. The two guilty teenagers straightened up, standing next to one another.

"I was petting Inuyasha's ears," kagome said. "And we had a bet and I lost so we had to do this!"

Sota mulled this over.

"You lost a bet so you had to carve a pumpkin by candle light?" he demanded.

Kagome and Inuyasha cast a guilty look at their poor, traumatized pumpkin who's guts covered them head to toe. Not even their clear plastic ponchos mad managed to save them from the pumpkin innards.

Inuyasha shrugged, giving Sota an uncomfortable look.

"We wanted to get down and dirty!"
