Inutori: Hey ya'll!  I finally updated, and so here is the next chapter of MPAI:

Kagome: But first, I am obliged to tell you that Inutori does not own me or Inuyasha, she just manipulates us to her liking.

Inutori: After doing 30 some disclaimers, they get rather dull, if you get my drift, so go read the chapter.

Chapter 10

Slumber Party Part 2

Sango and Kagome were laughing hysterically when the doorbell rang, silencing them both instantaneously.  They looked at each other in fear and then back at the front door.

Kagome swallowed, standing up slowly.  "This has…never happened before…perhaps we were being too noisy and it's the neighbor coming to tell us off for making so much racket."  Her voice was a quiet whisper as she eyed the door nervously.

The doorbell rang again, three times in a row.  So the young miko slowly made her way to the door with Sango following closely behind.  Glancing around quickly, Kagome picked up the metal coat rack that stood by the door.  She cautiously took hold of the doorknob as the bell rang again.  She raised her makeshift weapon, and whipped open the door.

And to her shock, there stood Miroku with Inuyasha leaning on the wall casually next to him, a scowl engrained on his face.  Her reaction was to scream and the metal pole came crashing down on the monk's head, knocking him out cold.

It took a moment for Kagome to stop hyperventilating and she looked over to Inuyasha.

"You're a violent little wench, aren't you?"  Inuyasha smirked at Kagome and gestured to Miroku, who lay on the ground with swirls in his eyes.

"What are you two doing here, anyway?"  Kagome looked suspiciously at her hanyou student.

"I ask first, what were you doing calling Miroku and confessing you love him?"

The miko turned bright red.  "Playing Truth or Dare."  She looked down at the floor.

"Doesn't it take two wenches to play that game?"

"Inuyasha, you'd think that with your sense of smell, you'd know that I have a guest."

Inuyasha got off the wall and looked into Kagome's tidy apartment, seeing the girl from the movie theatre standing behind his professor in the doorway.  "Keh, like I care."

A cold breeze went by and Kagome watched the limp body at her feet unconsciously shiver.  "Well, would you like to come in for a minute?"  Inuyasha grunted and grabbed Miroku's collar, dragging the hentai into the well-kept apartment.

It wasn't a moment too soon, for thunder rolled in the distance and it began to drizzle.  The rain quickly increased in downfall and soon it was pouring outside.

"So…"  Kagome turned back to her guests after shutting the front door.  "What do you guys want to do?"

Sango got a mischievous grin on her face and looked at Inuyasha and the unconscious Miroku.  "Well, we could always start up another game of truth or dare.  We'd have more players now."

"NO!"  Both Inuyasha and Kagome looked at Sango with horror in their eyes.

The tajiya pouted slightly.  "Fine then, but I still have to give you your last dare, Kagome-chan."  She slumped onto the couch and looked pleadingly at Kagome.

"You really like this game, don't you?"

Sango nodded enthusiastically and Kagome sweat dropped.  "OK, Kagome-chan, I dare you take French Inuyasha."

Both people mentioned turned bright red and looked at Sango.  "NANI?"

"Sango-chan, as an adult, you should know that it is very immature to suggest something like this.  Inuyasha is one of my students, and it just seems so wrong."  Kagome glanced at Inuyasha.  "No offense."  Then she looked back at Sango.  "I said that Truth or Dare was an immature game, but forcing people into an awkward situation is even more immature, please rethink your decision."

"So…you're not going to kiss him?"  She sounded slightly disappointed, but brightened almost immediately.  "Then I get to think of a new dare that you have to do!"

"Nothing disturbing, Sango-chan."

An evil grin crossed Sango's face, scaring both conscious people watching her.  "You two have to stay the entire night in Kagome's room."

"This is the wench's dare, not mine."  Inuyasha folded his arms and glared at Sango, slowly regaining his composure after the thought of French kissing Kagome.

"What, are you chicken?"  Sango looked at him with raised eyebrows, as if challenging him to back down.

"Of course not, I'd just prefer you leave me out of your stupid game."  He looked at the wall and avoided eye contact with either of the two girls.

"Well, Kagome's dare is to spend the whole night in her room with you, unless you're chicken?"

"Keh."

Sango smiled triumphantly and began to usher both Inuyasha and Kagome down the hall to the bedroom they were to stay in.  "Enjoy."  The tajiya shut the door after them and locked it from the outside, preventing either one from escaping.

Kagome let out an exasperated sigh and looked at Inuyasha.  "I don't have much in the way of bedding in here, it was all moved out to the living room for Sango and my sleepover.  Gomen."

Inuyasha looked around the tidy room, noting the pictures of animals and not music bands that adorned her walls.  It had a sweet aroma and Inuyasha couldn't help but inhale deeply.  One could get lost in a scent like this…

"Inuyasha, what are you doing?"  Kagome squirmed slightly as Inuyasha held her from behind, his face buried in her hair.

Inutori: And I'm ending there since I'm entirely brain dead right now and don't have the foggiest idea what to write.

Inuyasha: You're always braindead.

Kagome: Inuyasha, what have I told you about insulting the author?

Inuyasha: …

Inutori: It's OK, this time, since I'm too tired to care.  But next time he better watch it.

Kagome: You heard her, dogboy.

Inutori: And to all those readers, I'm sorry the chapter is so short. 

Inuyasha: No you're not.

Inutori: You're treading on thin ice, Inuyasha.  Anyways, I just wanted to ask you, I haven't decided whether to change my name or not.  I've been presented with a pretty good point for keeping it, but switching to Torineko would also erase confusion between me and my character Inutori.  Since, unlike some writers (no offense to those of you who do this), I don't like putting myself as a character in fanfiction, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am NOT Inuyasha's younger sister, though her name is Inutori.
