Even though you didn't give my 23 votes I'll give you this chapter for the long wait on the last chapter! Aren't I generous? Enjoy the story.
Summary: Inuyasha was dared to pretend to have a crush on Kagome Higurashi for a month. A month later, Kagome finds out about the dare. Will she still like Inuyasha or will she be heartbroken? Did Inuyasha like her or was it all an act?
All An Act?
Chapter 5: Challenge
Day 8 (continued)
"I …Inu..Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking at Inuyasha for a answer. (Bet you didn't see that one coming) "What should I do?"
"I don't care, wench." Inuyasha replied.
"I should just let Kikyo win then. You'll both be happy that way."
"Oh, hell no! Accept already, what are you waiting for, a sign from kami?"
"Hurry up." said an impatient Kikyo.
"Fine, I accept."
"Really?" Kikyo questioned. 'Damn, I thought she would give up. Well I'll just get the lead , win Inuyasha embarrass her in front of the entire school.'
"Fine, let's go girls." With that she left with her friends Yura, Kaguya walking after her holding her bags and bags of makeup supplies. (and there were a lot of bags)
"Kagome! I didn't think you would actually have the guts to accept." exclaimed Miroku.
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Kagome while glaring daggers at him.
"Nothing, nothing at all." After he said that his hand reached out and touched Sango's ass.
"HENTAI!" she shrieked. She turned around and slapped him, hard! Which knocked him out.
"Lets get to class Kagome."
"But I have to go to my locker,"
"Fine go I'll wait for you in class."
When Kagome left she turned around and faced Inuyasha.
"Have you been keeping up with your dare?"
"Yeah, I might ask her to the dance."
"Good! Take her out on another date tonight."
"What? I already took her to the movies! Isn't that enough?"
"No. Take her out on another date."
"Feh."
Taking that as a yes Sango walked off to her first period class. Inuyasha pouted for a minute or so before walking after her.
Inuyasha walked into his class and found Kagome already sitting in the back of the classroom. He started walking to the seat next to her but Miroku beat him to it. Miroku sat down and put his arm around Kagome's shoulder and said "She's my girlfriend." Noticing Inuyasha loss of speech, he asked "Didn't she tell you?" Inuyasha stared holes into Miroku's eyes and finally screamed " What in the seven hells?" (there are seven hells?) Causing everyone to look at him.
"You heard me, Kagome's my girlfriend."
Everyone in the classroom then turned and looked at Miroku including Kagome.
"Care to repeat that, Houshi?" Kagome asked while glaring at him.
Miroku gulped and replied "Just kidding, Sango is the only girl for me." He ran over to Sango and grabbed her ass.
"HENTAI!" she screamed.
Everyone sweat dropped then began laughing except for Sango who was whacking Miroku with a text book and Inuyasha who was cursing under his breath. Rin walked up to Inuyasha and giggled "Oh no! Inu was jealous!"
Inuyasha growled "Who would like a wench like her?"
Kagome snapped back "Well let me see. Kouga, Hojo and Naraku."
"They don't count because they are all mentally challenged."
"Fine then almighty one. It's not like every girl swoons over you."
"Uh. Yes they do."
"Really? Name them?"
"Kikyo, Yura, Kaguya, Kagura. Kanna, Ayumi, Eri, Yuka, etc."
"They all have boyfriends, except for the first three, they're just stupid."
"Feh." replied Inuyasha giving up.
Kagome high-fived her friends and sat down in her seat. Inuyasha sat down next to her.
Soon the teacher came in. Throughout the class the teacher drowned on and on about something that had to do with math (I hate Math!) so Kagome wasn't paying attention. She was thinking of how to win the challenge she accepted earlier that morning. She was so deep in thought she didn't even hear the bell ring. She snapped out of her trance when Inuyasha called out her name and looked at her with a worried expression.
"Oh, was Inuyasha worried about me?" she asked sweetly.
"Dream on, wench." he replied.
"Will you please stop calling me wench!"
"When hell freezes over!" (I love that phrase)
"Stop acting like a jerk."
"Stop acting like a wench."
Kagome didn't even bother to answer him. She walked out of the classroom to go to her locker. She opened her locker and grabbed her stuff for the next class. Afterwards she slammed her locker shut, she grabbed her backpack and went to her next class. Kagome sat down in a seat near the back. Inuyasha came in and sat next to her.
The teacher came in and began the class. He babbled about something while Kagome and Rin passed notes, Inuyasha slept, Miroku tried to grope Sango, Sango swatted away Miroku's hands while threatening to kick him in the family jewels, Kouga was glaring madly at Inuyasha and sometimes glancing at Kagome, Ayame was playing with her pencil and Sess was staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing on Earth.
Soon it was lunch. The students piled out of class and went to wherever they had to go. The group walked to the cafeteria. Kagome took out her oden only to be grabbed by Inuyasha.
"Hey, that was mine!" she complained.
"Well its mine now." he replied.
"Jerk."
"Wench."
"Idiot."
"Bitch."
Kagome looked down, her bangs covering her eyes, tears started to well up in her eyes but she didn't let them down. Inuyasha smelled her tears with his demonic powers and apologized quickly "I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you by taking you out to dinner, okay?"
Kagome wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and asked "Really?"
"Yeah, I'll pick you up at 6:00."
"Thanks."
"Feh!"
The bell rang and the students went to their next class. The rest of the school day passed by quickly. After school most of the students went to the auditions for the play. Some to watch some to audition and laugh at people. The teacher came in and everyone became quiet. The teacher called out the roles and the people who signed up for that role. Inuyasha went on stage when the teacher called his name. He took the script from the teacher's assistant.
"In faith I will. Let me peruse this face. Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris! What said my man, when my be tossed soul did not attend him as we rode? I think he told me Paris should have married Juliet. Said he not so? Or did I dream it so? Or am I mad, hearing him talk of Juliet, to think it was so? O, give me thy hand, one writ with me in sour misfortune's book. I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave. A grave? O no, a lantern, slaughtered youth." he said loudly with gestures and feeling. His face showing every emotion clearly. He went off the stage, then Kouga went. After him was Hojo, then Naraku.
Then it was time for the people trying out for Juliet's role. Kagome went on stage and took the script.
"O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face. Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical, dove-feathered raven, wolfish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of divinest show! Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st! A damned saint, an honorable villain! O nature what hadst thou to do in hell when thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend in mortal paradise of such sweet flesh? Was ever book containing such vile matter so fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell in such a gorgeous palace." she said with an accent like she had practiced this role for months. (she has!) Next was Kikyo trying out for the part. Afterwards everyone tried out for whatever part that they wanted to try out for. (I'm too lazy to say what it is)
After auditions Inuyasha started walking Kagome home.
"Ok. See you at six then." Kagome told him then walked into her house. She waved goodbye to Inuyasha and opened the front door. She put her backpack on the couch and then went inside the kitchen. About a minuet later she came out with a bag of chips and a soda.
Kagome then walked upstairs to her and started working on her homework. She finished at around 5:00. She looked at the clock and screamed "I only have an hour to get ready for a date!"
She ran to the bathroom to take a shower. Half an hour later she runs out with only a towel around her. She began digging in her closet to find something to wear. She finally settled on a denim skirt which is knee-length and a red v-neck with silver linings on the edges of the sleeves and the neck line. She also put on a pair of red open toe high heels with straps that go up to the ankle. At exactly 6:00 the doorbell rings. Kagome runs downstairs and finds Inuyasha wearing a pair of jeans and a red hoodie with a white t-shirt underneath.
"You look great." Inuyasha told Kagome after he managed to close his mouth and wipe away the drool.
"Thank you." she replied nicely. "You look handsome yourself."
"Let's go." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and walked out to his car. He opened the passenger seat and allowed Kagome to get in. Then he went to his side and went in.
He started the car and drove to a fancy French restaurant. (I never tried French food, but love French fries!) Kagome got out of the car and started walking to the front door. Halfway there she tripped and started to fall. 'Oh no! My new clothes will be ruined!' was all she could think about.
She snapped out of her thoughts when she went a pair of strong arms around her waist and felt herself being lifted up.
"You should be more careful when walking, you know that?" said an all to familiar voice.
"Thanks Inuyasha." Kagome said.
They began walking to the restaurant again. When they got inside the guy behind the podium (don't know what he's called) asked "How many in your party, sir?"
"Two," Inuyasha replied.
"Did you make a reservations, sir?"
"Yes, under Inuyasha Taiyoukai."
After hearing Inuyasha say his name the guy said "Oh yes, Mr. Taiyoukai. Come this way. I'll take you to our best seat available."
"Why is he acting so much nicer after you said your full name?" a curious Kagome asked.
"That's because my father's company is the biggest and most respected in Japan."
"Oh." she replied. They sat down on a seat that had was next to a window. Outside there was a view of the ocean and a beach. A guy came over to their table and handed them both a menu. "Hi, my name is Hiten and I'll be your waiter for tonight. What would you like to drink?"
"I'll have a Shirley temple. (I love those) What do you want Kagome?" Inuyasha said still looking at the menu.
"I want a …… iced tea, please." Kagome replied.
"Ok, I'll be right back with your drinks." Hiten said. He turned to leave but not without looking Kagome up and down which causes Inuyasha to growl.
Hiten came back in 3 minuets with their drinks. "Are you ready to order?"
"I'll have the New York Steak."
"I would like the lobster, please."
"Okay, I'll be right back." Hiten replied and left without looking at Kagome this time.
'Good, he got the clue.' Inuyasha smiled mentally.
About 20 minuets later, Hiten returned. He gave them their food and left without saying a word to either of them.
After dinner, Inuyasha paid and lead Kagome to his car. He then drove to Coldstones for ice cream. Kagome ordered the rocky road, while Inuyasha ordered the Oreo Overload.
After the dessert, Inuyasha drove to the movie theaters. Inuyasha paid for the tickets and they went in. They both a large popcorn with lots of butter and two sodas. They also bought lots of candy.
When the movie ended, Inuyasha drove Kagome home. In the car Inuyasha asked Kagome "Would you like to go to the dance with me?"
Kagome looked at him with a shocked expression on her face but didn't answer him. Seeing this Inuyasha quickly said "You don't have to if you don't want to."
Kagome immediately shook her head, "No, it's just that I don't want to hurt anybody's feeling by rejecting them. I know! I'll go with whoever gets the part of Romeo since you all tried out for the part."
Inuyasha agreed because he was sure he was going to win.
Soon, they were at Kagome house. Inuyasha walked up the shrine steps with Kagome. He walked her to the front door when Kagome turned around and said "Thanks. I had a great time tonight."
"Yeah, me too." Inuyasha replied.
Kagome took the key out of her purse and opened the door. She turned around and kissed Inuyasha on the cheek. She went inside and put her purse on the couch. She picked up the phone and called Kouga. She then told him about her decision. Kouga agreed but after he yelled and cursed about Inuyasha taking her out on a date. Kagome called Hojo and Naraku and told them the same thing. They all agreed because they believed they themselves would get the part.
While Kagome was doing this Inuyasha was outside standing where he was for the last ten minutes. Finally he went back into his car and drove home.
At home, he went to his room and turned on his computer. Then he logged onto AIM.
When he logged on, Sango immediately IMed him.
