REALLY FUNNY JOKE!!!!! THE NEXT CHAPTER IS STILL UNDER IT, SO DON'T PASS IT UP!

Ok, so a duck walks into a bar, and he asks the bar tender "do you got any grapes?" and the bar tender is all, "no this is a bar, we don't sell grapes." So the duck is all ok, and walks away. The next day he comes back and asks the same question. "no!" the bar tender says. "we don't sell grapes and we never will!" "ok" the duck says and walks away. The next day the duck walks in and asks him again. "no! we don't sell grapes! We never have and we never will!!! If you ever ask me that again I'll nail your stupid duck beak to the table!!!!!!" felling quiet relived the bartender looks to the duck. "got any nails?" the duck asks calmly. "No, why." the bartender replies suspiciously. "got any grapes?" the duck asks.

Hee,hee,hee. I LOVE that one!!!!

*~*~*Chapter 9*~*~*

"Hot tub?" Kagome asked nervously.

"Uhh, I didn't bring my bathing suit." Sango lied. She knew why Miroku wanted to go in the hot tub.

"Oh but you did Sango, I can see it sticking out of your bag!" he pointed to her bag, and sure enough, there it was, half way out of it. There was no way out of this one.

"Well then, I guess that there is no reason that we can't all go in!" he said getting up to get his suit.

"Miroku can I talk to you for a second?" Kagome asked, not waiting for an answer before she dragged him off.

"What is it?" he asked.

"That is a really big hot tub." She stated.

"So?" he asked, not getting what she was trying to say.

"And deep too"

"And this is a problem why?"

"Come on, you know that I can't swim!" she said sounding half irritated and have sad at the thought of Sango making fun of her.

"Really, cause it looked like you did ok on your own today." He said.

"*Sigh* ok, I'll go in but I really don't want Sango to know that I can't swim, so what am I going to do?"

"Look, I'll stay right next to you and hold you up ok? And I'll tell Inuyasha to do the same so it doesn't look like I'm right next to you the whole time."

"Ok, thanks!" she said with a big smile on her face. She gave him a bear hug and ran up to her room to change. She came back down to see everyone changed and ready to go. The guys walked outside, and Sango waited for Kagome. When they walked out, they couldn't believe what they saw. In the five seconds that they were not with them, Inuyasha had Miroku pinned to the wall upside down. He looked like he was pretty angry at something.

"Inuyasha! What are you doing?!!!" she yelled while running towards him. When he heard her he immediately dropped Miroku, sure he landed on his head, but at least he put him down. "What were you thinking?" she asked as Miroku got up, he looked as if nothing had happened. What weird guys.

"Miroku, you didn't start grouping guys now did you?" Inuyasha and Miroku both blushed.

"No way!" Miroku yelled. "I'm straight I swear!"

"yeah, straight as a circle!" Sango mumbled, Kagome heard her and they both started giggling. Inuyasha decided now was a good time to change the subject.

"So you guys want to go in?" Inuyasha asked nervously.

"Yeah I think that that is a good idea. How about you guys? Great." Miroku replied. Both Sango and Kagome shook their heads to try and sort out what just happened. After a wile of thinking, Sango spoke, obviously not understanding what just happened.

"Ok, lets just get in the water." Sango and Miroku both got in, and Kagome hesitantly looked to Inuyasha.

"Wow, this thing is huge! Sango exclaimed. "I can't even touch the bottom!" she said, swimming to the side so she could hold on.

Kagome took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the hot tub. She watched Inuyasha get in first and swim over right next to her. She slowly slid in next to him, and held onto the side with one hand, while he partially held her up by holding her other hand.

"Wow, this is cool, check it out! I can touch over here! It's like a bench, in the middle! A really smooth slippery bench." Kagome immediately brightened up. She looked at Inuyasha and whispered in his ear.

"Hey, can you take me over there?" she asked him. He nodded, and took her hand off of the edge. He could smell her nervousness and fear. After he got both of her hands in his own, he pulled her over to the middle of the hot tub, and sat her down on the "bench". She was about up to her neck in water. He started to swim away, but he felt Kagome tense as he let go of her, so he sat down next to her.

"What is it now?" he whispered into her ear.

"Its slippery, what if I fall off?" she asked in a quiet voice, looking down. He rolled his eyes and scooted closer to her, holding her hand under the bubbling water.

"So." Sango said, she paused to slap Miroku. "What do you guys want to do now?" Miroku smiled.

"Well, I."

"NOOO!!!" Kagome and Sango yelled at the same time.

"It was just a thought." Miroku mumbled.

"Hey, I know what we could do. How about a game of truth or dare?" she wanted to make Inuyasha admit is feelings for Kagome. She didn't have to be a rocket scientist to tell that they liked each other. Miroku's smile suddenly reappeared.

"What a lovely idea Sango!" Miroku exclaimed.

"I don't know about this." Kagome tried to protest, but before she knew it, Sango had tuned her out and was deciding who would go first. Se picked Inuyasha

"Ok Inuyasha, truth, dare, or double dare."

"Ok, well, what does double dare mean?" he asked, feeling stupid for not knowing.

"Oh yeah, I'll give you two dares, and you can pick which one you want to do. Its for the wimps." She said the last part under her breath, only Miroku heard her.

"Ok, I pick. double dare." Miroku and Sango giggled a little, knowing that if Inuyasha heard what Sango said about being a wimp, he would have picked another choice.

"Hmmm." Sango thought about possible dares. "One, you have to.lets see.kiss Miroku on the cheek!" she yelled.

"What!" Inuyasha and Miroku yelled in unison.

"You heard me!"

"Well, I'm definitely not doing that!" Inuyasha stated, "What is the other dare?" he asked, hoping that it was not as bad as the first one.

"Lets see, you have to." she looked to the wide eyed Kagome. "Kiss Kagome." she paused to see their reaction, they were blushing, but not protesting. "Yeah that's it!" she finished. Kagome's eyes, if possible, got wider.

"Sango!" she exclaimed, still not objecting. Figures, Sango thought.

"Well, " Inuyasha said. "I sure as hell don't want to kiss Miroku." Kagome blushed.

"So you choose to kiss Kagome?" Sango asked with a huge smile on her face. He nodded. Kagome looked up at him. He looked down at her. He swooped down and pressed his lips to hers so fast that she almost didn't know what happened. Unfortunately, with the same quickness that it begun, it ended, and they were both sitting on opposite sides of the hot tub, blushing like crazy.

"Ok Inuyasha, I guess it is your turn to pick someone." Kagome said, not looking directly at him.

"Yeah, ok, I pick. Miroku." He stated. "So what will it be Miroku?" He asked.

"Uh dare." He said, remembering what Sango said about being a wimp if you chose double dare.

"Ok then Miroku," Inuyasha said a little too nicely. "I dare you to." Kagome tapped him on his shoulder and whispered something into his ear. He nodded. "Not be perverted for a whole hour." He said calmly with a smirk.

Miroku stared a him with his mouth wide open. "You have to be kidding me."

"Nope" Inuyasha and Kagome said at the same time. Miroku looked at Kagome, angry that she gave Inuyasha the idea such an impossible dare.

"I guess that makes it my turn then." He looked to Kagome. "Kagome, truth, dare, or double dare?"

She looked around nervously. "Umm, double dare?"

A large smile formed on his face. "Number one, I dare you to." he paused and swam over to her. He whispered into her ear, "tell sang you can't swim." Her eyes got wide. Perfect. He thought, now she HAS to do the next dare, cause I'm sure she won't tell Sango. "Second, I dare you to," he stopped, he had to make this a good one, and he couldn't be perverted in doing so, "let me and Inuyasha spend the night!" he yelled out. Perfect, he thought.

"Hey! That's not fair!" she protested. "*Sigh*" she knew that it was fair, its how he game goes. "Fine, you and Inuyasha can spend the night." She sounded defeated. "Wait!" she suddenly brightened up "Its my turn now! I'm the last one that hasn't gone yet, lets see, I pick Sango! What do you chose?" She said all too fast.

"I guess I pick.dare." She didn't want Miroku to think that she was a wimp. Wait why do I care what he thinks?! She thought to herself.

"Ok, you asked for it, I dare you to. not smack Miroku for the rest of the night!" she knew that once Miroku's hour was up Sango would have a really hard time with this.

"How could you? You know how hard that is gonna be!"

"Yeah I do! Isn't it great?" she said sarcastically. "So, now that everyone has gone, what do you guys want to do?"

They all shrugged. "I am kinda tired." Sango stated, yawning.

"Yeah, me too." Kagome stated. They turned to the boys, who looked wide-awake.

"You guys are such wimps! Its only like 11:45 pm!" Miroku stated.
"Hey Miroku, it's ok, they are just girls, they are the weaker sex, they need their sleep." Inuyasha said. That woke them up.

"What!" they both yelled out at the same time.

"We are not the weaker sex!" Kagome yelled.

"Yeah! Lets have a contest and see who can stay up longer!" Sango suggested.

"Fine, but it will just prove that you guys are weaker. Miroku said, getting out of the hot tub. Sango gave him a death glare.

"Run." She commanded. He did as told and ran as fast as he could away from her. She was close behind him, the chase continued through the house where Inuyasha and Kagome could no longer see them.

"I better go get them." Inuyasha stated and ran after them. Kagome sat there. All by herself. Surrounded in water, one of her biggest fears. She started shakeing, and tried to yell out, but found her voice wouldn't work. She was too scared to say anything, and was afraid that if she tried to get out she would slip. She felt trapped. Alone, in the dark and in water. She was scared to death.

~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~

"Koga! Stop it!" a younger Kagome yelled at the top of her lungs. "I want to go see uncle George (ok, ok, sorry I couldn't think of a better name) too!" Koga was trying to shove her into a closet.

"Stop it Kagome! I told you already! Naraku says you can't go! Now stop struggling!" with a final shove, he pushed into the cramped dark closet and locked it. They left her there for a whole day while they went out.

*~*~*End flashback*~*~*

Ever since that day, she was afraid of the dark. And now she was all- alone in the dark again. Scared out of her mind that she would slip.

*~*~*End Chapter 9*~*~*
