Truth or Dare?

"Um, would you like to go to the homecoming dance with me?" Inu yasha asked nervously.

"I-I......" Kagome said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chapter 8: Turning down

"I-I.........." Kagome hesitated. She looked into Inu yasha's eyes. "I have to think about it."

"Okay, I take it you don't want to go to the homecoming with me. Right. You can just say it instead of making me wait. I'll just go ask Kikyo." Inu yasha said and took off without a word.

"I never said that I..." Kagome shouted out but decided not to talk anymore. Why didn't I just say yes? 'Because I'm afraid he's just joking around. Like those other freaks like Kouga. I bet he just wanted to ask me so he wouldn't look like a loser. This dare thing isn't over until the homecoming.' Kagome thought. Kagome sighed and walked where Sango was. She stopped when she heard Miroku asking something.

".........I would really like if you came." Miroku said with a bold voice. He looked innocent and sweet.

"Of course I will go to the homecoming with you!" Sango said and hugged Miroku.

"Sango, that's really not necessary..." Miroku said, but he liked it anyway. His hand went creeping toward Sango's ass.

"Not this time buster." Sango said and slapped Miroku's hand.

"*sigh* I was so close!" Miroku complained.

Kagome watched as Sango and Miroku walked together hand in hand. She knew Miroku would be really trusting. He was always sweet to Kagome, but rather perverted. That would never change. She wished Inu yasha wouldn't give up easily and acted like Miroku, just not the perverted part. 'Or jump to conclusions. I never said I wouldn't go with him.' Kagome thought.

"Sango!" Kagome shouted. Sango's head turned to the direction of Kagome.

"What's up?" Sango asked with a big grin.

"Oh, nothing." Kagome said with a sigh.

"Really. Miroku asked me to the homecoming!!!" Sango squealed happily.

"I know. I heard him talking to you." Kagome smiled half-heatedly.

"What's wrong?" Sango asked worried.

"Nothing. It's nothing." Kagome said with another sigh.

"I'm not so sure about that. You can tell me what's wrong, Kagome. You know you can tell me anything." Sango said gently.

"Really. It's nothing. I'm fine. Everything's fine." Kagome smiled. 'It's just that everybody at school is happy about the homecoming, bragging they have dates when I'm so stupid to turn down Inu yasha.' Kagome wanted to say but didn't.

"Okay. But if you need me, just grab me out anytime, just not when I'm in the bathroom." Sango said.

"Thanks." Kagome said.

~*~*~*~*~*

"Stupid....how can I be so stupid? I should've known she would have never said yes. Man, I make a fool of myself." Inu yasha muttered. Inu yasha walked into the school building and saw Kagome at her locker.

'Uh oh, now what do I do.' Inu yasha thought. He quickly turned around to avoid Kagome but Kikyo just popped out.

"Oh my darling Inu yasha!" Kikyo gushed.

"I'm not your darling!" Inu yasha hissed.

"Whatever you say my dear." Kikyo said as she put her hand on Inu yasha's cheeks.

"What are you doing?" Inu yasha demanded and blushed.

"You use to like it when I did that." Kikyo smiled.

Kagome was watching this scene from her locker. She sighed as she saw what Kikyo did to Inu yasah. 'Does he truly still love her?' Kagome thought. She turned away. She felt disgusted.

"Inu yasha, why don't we go to the homecoming together? Since I don't think you have a date yet." Kikyo said with a smile. This caught Kagome's attention.

"Well I suppose we could go together. At least you asked me, I was supposed to go with Kagome originally." Inu yasha said slowly.

'What? I told him I was going to think about it and he just makes a decision with Kikyo. Am I like invisible to him?' Kagome thought. 'Apparently so.'

"Great. Now, I must go. After school I have a lot of shopping to do." Kikyo said and ran off.

'Whatever. I'm not going to let this bother me. But...... I knew it! Inu yasha never actually cared for me. He only wanted to use me so people wouldn't think he was a chicken.' Kagome thought angrily. She stomped away to the other direction of where Kikyo went.

~*~*~*~*

"Now class, the story is supposed to be due tomorrow, so I would like you to meet with your partners again." Ms. Akizuki announced again.

'Great. Just great. I was hoping to avoid him. Ugh!' Kagome thought.

'Great. Just great. What am I going to do? I was hoping to avoid her!' Inu yasha thought. (A/N: Isn't it freaky when people think alike?)

"Okay," Inu yasha said as he walked to the desk next to him. Which was Kagome's. "What do you want to write about?"

"I'm still thinking." Kagome said not looking at him.

"Well you better hurry up and think of one. It's due tomorrow and we don't even know what we're going to write about!" Inu yasha exclaimed.

"Why don't you think of something? It's not easy!" Kagome snapped.

"I gave you a whole list of things." Inu yasha snapped back.

"A list of crap." Kagome muttered.

"You know what? I don't even care if we get a bad grade. You can do the story all by your self, Ms. Smart-ass." Inu yasha snarled.

"Fine! I will!" Kagome shouted.

"Good. Oh, and by the way, you don't need to think about going to the homecoming with me. Pretend I didn't even ask you." Inu yasha finished just as the bell rang. (Short period... o well.)

"Well, I-I didn't even want to go with you!" Kagome shouted out.

'He makes me so mad!' Kagome thought as a tear slid down her face.

'What's this? Tears? Why am I crying?' Kagome thought. She quickly dried her tears and went out of the classroom.

~*~*~*

At lunchtime, Kagome was all alone again. Sango ditched her to get together with Miroku. She took out her notebook and began scribbling. After she was done, she noticed she drew Inu yasha. It didn't really look like Inu yasha, this one had doggy ears. Kagome giggled at what she drew.

"K-A-G-O-M-E and I-N-U Y-A-S-H-A forever. You should've written that." Sango said with a smirk as she cam up.

"W-what?" Kagome asked surprisingly as she slammed her notebook shut.

"Cute drawing you had there." Sango smirked again.

"What drawing?" Kagome asked innocently.

"You know perfectly well what I mean." Sango said.

"Whatever." Kagome said not looking up.

"So, who are you going with to the homecoming dance?" Sango asked.

"Oh, I'm not going to the homecoming. I thought I told you that." Kagome said with a frown.

"What? You're not going? Are you crazy?" Sango asked shaking Kagome's shoulders.

"Nobody asked me, there's not use going there if nobody is going to ask me." Kagome explained.

"At least I get to stay home and watch T.V." Kagome said.

"Tell me your joking. Nobody? Nobody asked you? That is impossible. It's just not." Sango said shaking her head.

"How is that not possible? Anything is possible. I'm not going to the homecoming dance, big whoop." Kagome grumbled.

"But you have to go! What about Inu yasha? Didn't he ask you? He should be going with you." Sango insisted.

"Nope, Kikyo already asked him." Kagome said.

"How about Hojo?" Sango asked.

"He kind of asked Mika." Kagome said.

"Kouga?" Sango tried.

"You must be crazy." Kagome said.

"Then what about......" Sango tried thinking of someone but couldn't .

"Okay Sango. Thank you for helping me find someone to go to the homecoming dance, but that's not going to happen. I'm not going. Final," Kagome said. "Plus, I need to finish a whole story by tomorrow."

"Isn't Inu yasha supposed to help you?" Sango asked.

"He seems to be.....a little busy." Kagome said trying to get Sango off the subject.

"That's totally unfair to you. He should be doing some work too!" Sango exclaimed.

"He did." Kagome said quietly.

"Kagome, you should really stop taking peoples sides. You're too modest and everything!" Sango cried out.

"Thanks for the compliment, but no. I'm not going and I'm going to do my story." Kagome said for the last time. She stood up and walked away.

"But Kagome!" Sango called after her. 'Okay, I really don't get this. She popular and pretty. And also nice! And nobody asked her yet? What's going on?'

~*~*~*

"I'm home!" Kagome called out when she stepped into the shrine. No one seemed to have shouted back.

"I wonder where they all are?" Kagome wondered. She went into the kitchen and saw two letters.

Honey, Your brother and I went out to get some project supplies. Be back before dinner!
Love,
Mother

Kagome, I'm going out to explore. Your mother already knows where I'm going. Be back in two days.
Love,
Grandpa

Kagome sighed. She went upstairs into her room. She stood at her bedroom door, looking around she sighed again. She took out the list of things Inu yasha wrote down. Her heart ached. She didn't know why but it just did.

'Why am I feeling like this?' Kagome thought. She sighed and went to work. On her blank piece of paper she tried to think of a title but couldn't.

'I can't think. What am I going to do? I can never come up with anything.' Kagome sighed and crumpled up her paper. She sat at her desk staring into space, she suddenly saw Inu yasha's face.

'What am I thinking?' Kagome shook her head. 'Why am I always thinking about him? Why? I just don't understand......"

~*~*~*

Inu yasha was in his room working on his other homework. He finished everything.

'Okay, now, I finished my math, social studies, science, and langu.....' He stopped. He just remembered that he made Kagome do all the work.

'Serves her right.' Inu yasha thought. He decided to go watch T.V. since he finished all his homework. Walking to the living room he hear the phone ring.

"Hello?" Inu yasha said into the phone.

"Inu yasha!! Hmm, It's so nice to hear you again....I missed you during school!" Kikyo said.

"Oh, hey." Inu yasha said.

"Anyways, what color do you think I should wear for the homecoming? I want everything to be perfect. I have a pink one, a red, black, gold, silver......" Kikyo said naming all the different kinds of dresses she had.

On the other side of the line, Inu yasha just sat there not listening one bit. He wondered who Kagome was going to go with.

'Kagome? Why would I care who she would be going with.' Inu yasha thought shaking it off. 'I guess I was a little to harsh. Actually, why should I care? It's her fault. And who would want to go to the homecoming with her? She's so ugly.'

'Actually you would want to go with her. Remember?'

'Why are you back?'

'You really should go apologize to her. You were kind of mean.'

'You shut up.'

'Whatever. I'm just telling what's best. You shouldn't go with Kikyo. You made a really big mistake.'

".....don't you?" Kikyo asked from the other line.

"Um, what?" Inu yasha said suddenly distracted from his thoughts.

"Today I saw Kagome on the streets. She was like soooooo stupid. Do you know what she did? She tripped! What an idiot." Kikyo laughed from the other end.

"Kagome?" Inu yasha asked.

"Uh, yeah. You know, that ugly jerk headed girl? The one that's in our school?" Kikyo asked as if Inu yasha was dumb.

"She's not stupid!" Inu yasha said.

"I know, Kikyo said. "She stupider than stupid."

"No......." Inu yasha didn't bother finishing his sentence.

'Why am I taking her side?' Inu yasha thought. He sighed and decided to tell Kikyo that he had to go. He hung up and went back to his room. He still felt bad about what he did to Kagome.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Still nothing...." Kagome muttered. She'd been thinking of something to write about during the past few hours. She finally gave up and didn't care if she failed. From downstairs her mother and Souta came back.

"Kagome!!! We're home!" Her mother called from downstairs.

"Welcome home." Kagome said as she went downstairs.

"So how's the story coming?" Kagome's mother asked.

"Um, great!" Kagome lied.

"Ah. Is he here?" Kagome's mother asked.

"Who?" Kagome asked.

"That guy that came today." Kagome's mother replied.

"Oh, you mean Inu yasha? No." Kagome said. She wished her mother would stop talking about him.

"He should be here! This story is due tomorrow isn't it?" Kagome's mother asked. She went to the phone and called Inu yasha. (pretend she already has his number k?)

"Mom! Stop!" Kagome shouted.

"Hello? Inu yasha? Would you like to....." Kagome's mother started.
