Truth or Dare?
Summary: Two people who can't stand each other got dared to act like a couple for a whole week. Inu/Kag.
Chapter 17: Those Eyes
"Stupid idiot………" Kagome muttered to Sango.
Sango laughed. The principal's voice boomed out again, "First, I want each pair to find another pair so you can make a group of four, then come to this table to pick up your worksheets for the tour."
The noise level rose as students scurried to find another pair.
"I guess we'll be a group," Kagome said uncertainly. Miroku nodded. "So! Inu yasha, go get the papers."
"Get it yourself."
Kagome sighed, "If you're going to be in our group, you'll have to help at the least! What kind of student are you?"
"Still not getting it."
"We'll get it!" Sango volunteered. She pulled Miroku away from Kagome and Inu yasha, leaving the two alone.
Inu yasha and Kagome stood in silence as Sango and Miroku disappeared from sight. Silence. Kagome heard Inu yasha clear his throat and shift uncomfortably. What was wrong with them? How could they not find one decent insult to say to each other?
"You're so lazy," Kagome finally said.
Inu yasha looked up, "Uh huh."
They both stood there, staring at opposite directions, afraid to look at each other in the eye. The gleam of Inu yasha's eyes captured Kagome's attention, making it hard for her to avoid his eyes. Their eyes locked when Inu yasha glanced back towards her. Kagome tried to break the gaze, but the intensity in his eyes prevented that from happening. What's wrong with me? She thought.
Finally getting a grip on herself, Kagome quickly looked away and licked her lips nervously. "Um………I'm going to go find Sango and Miroku and see why they're taking so long." She hurried away, in search of the couple.
She spotted them in the corner laughing and joking around. Kagome walked over and said, "What do you think you guys were doing? Leaving me and Inu yasha alone?"
"What's so wrong about it? Didn't you enjoy it?" Sango asked simply.
"Enjoy? Please, Sango, that was the most uncomfortable moment!" Kagome retorted.
Sango snorted, "Hmm, and I wonder why." Kagome rolled her eyes. "Oh, please, Kagome, we saw the way you two were staring at each other. Why don't you guys just admit you like each other? What's wrong with it?"
"Because we just don't! We won't ever feel that way towards each other! We are two completely, different people."
"Opposites attract." Miroku grinned. "Oh come on, Kagome. You're in denial!"
Kagome turned her head to face him, "What?"
"Yo! What the hell is taking you guys so long? Everyone's leaving." Inu yasha shouted as he walked over from the other side of the room. Sure enough, the building was emptying.
Kagome sighed. "Fine."
"Oh you silly boy," Sango giggled slapping Miroku lightly on the cheeks.
"Damn, that's scary." Inu yasha said. Kagome nodded her head. "Doesn't Sango usually punch him or slap him hella hard when he starts rubbing her ass?"
Kagome shuddered, "That's what happens when you get a boyfriend."
"That's what happens when you're in love!" Sango said smiling at Kagome. Kagome blushed. She mentally slapped herself. Why was she blushing?
When Sango walked up to her, she silently added, "I saw you blushing. How can you deny it now?"
The gang arrived at a new amusement park in Hokkaido called Wandaarando. (A/N: Wonderland in Japanese.) They entered a little café and seated themselves. Sango sat next to Miroku, which left Kagome sitting next to Inu yasha.
"What are you going to order?" Sango asked Kagome.
Kagome scanned the small menu and set it down, "I'll just get a frappuccino."
"That's all? Why don't we get two chocolate cakes and split it?" Sango asked. Kagome shrugged and gave the waiter her menu as she came over to get their orders.
Kagome heard her cell phone ringing as she opened her little backpack and pulled it out. "Hello?"
"Kagome! How are you? Did you get to Hokkaido safely?" Ms. Higurashi's voice asked with delight.
Sango silently asked who it was. Kagome mouthed the word, 'mom' as Sango nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Mom? I want to ask you something. You know that book Complicated Love I and II? Don't you think it's just an wonderful book?"
"Of course, honey. I wonder how she could come up with such a realistic plot! I reminds me of son-in-law and my dear daughter." Ms. Higurashi said happily.
Kagome choked and started coughing hard, "Mom! Stop calling him 'son-in-law'! And of course that plot is so realistic! You're writing about me!"
"Oh my! So you two are together! That's just wonderful! I knew my story would come true. This is just so marvelous! I cannot believe this. I'm so proud of you, Kagome. The day Inu yasha proposes to you, say yes. How can you turn down such a amazing proposal?" Ms. Higurashi's voice boomed out pleased.
"Shit, did your mom just say proposal?" Inu yasha asked shocked. Everyone had heard her mom talk about being proposed.
Sango and Miroku started laughing uncontrollably. "Kagome, I must say that I'm proud of your mother's achievement. You guys are starting to find out your real feelings!"
Kagome glared at the couple, "Mom, please would you just STOP with the son-in-law stuff? I don't like Inu yasha and he doesn't like me. Inu yasha likes this other girl anyways!"
"What?" Inu yasha asked turning to Kagome confused. "Who do I like?"
Kagome ignored Inu yasha and frowned, "No, I'm not lying. He likes this girl named Kikyo. Jealous? Hahaha, mom, you make me laugh so hard. Who would like such a wimpy little guy like him?"
"Wimpy…Miroku's wimpy."
"Yes! I'm going now, mom." Kagome pushed the 'end' button on her cell and sighed. How could she possibly think that Kagome would fall in love with someone who despises you? "I can't believe my mom."
"Kagome," Sango said pausing to take a drink of her coffee. "I really don't understand you two. How can't you guys see that you're falling for each other? I mean, Kagome, you day dream about him!"
Kagome laughed, "Terrible day mares. And I don't think about him."
"Uh huh…" Inu yasha grumbled. "Cakes here." The waitress brought out two chocolate cakes and put one in front of Sango and one in front of Kagome.
"Would you like to share with me, Miroku?" Sango said smiling. Mirkou laughed and kissed her on the cheeks.
Kagome stared in horror, "No way. I thought we were sharing the cake, Sango!" Sango turned to Kagome and shrugged. She pointed to Inu yasha then turned back to Miroku. Kagome groaned, "Uh, here, you can have the whole thing if you want." She pushed the plate of chocolate cake towards Inu yasha.
"Nah, hold on," Inu yasha waved his hands to get one of the waitress's attention, "could you get another plate and fork for me? Thanks."
The waitress smiled and turned to go get another plate and fork when Miroku and Sango shouted, "NO!"
Sango smiled sweetly at the waitress, "No, it's fine. We don't need an extra plate here. But thanks anyway."
Inu yasha rolled his eyes, "God damn you, Sango. I swear, you're the most annoying bitch I've ever met. Other than Kikyo."
"What did you call her, Inu yasha?" Mirkou asked squinting his eyes at Inu yasha. Kagome giggled and looked at Sango.
"Hey, uh, I'm going to eat first okay?" Kagome said picking up the tiny silverware. She knew Inu yasha wasn't going to eat first, so she might as well eat it. She saw Inu yasha shrug from the corner of her eyes.
The café's little bell twinkled as Kikyo and her 'followers' came into the café. "Oh look at what we have here." Kikyo smirked walking up to Inu yasha and the gang. "No surprise how you got so fat, Kagome. You're stomach is so flabby."
Kagome sighed annoyed at the remark, "I totally agree with you. I always wondered how you have such a thin body. I envy your anorexic figure."
Kikyo scoffed, "It's called a diet."
"Oh I see. Well, I'm afraid I can't be like you. You'll just have to watch me stuff this big fat sugary greasy chocolate cake into my mouth. Now wouldn't that just be heavenly," Kagome said sarcastically.
Kikyo glared at Kagome then turned to Inu yasha and put on her sugary voice, "Inu yasha, would you like to share a strawberry shortcake with me?"
"And I thought you were on a diet," Sango muttered.
"It's called a sugar free cake, whore." Kikyo snapped. Sango frowned and rolled her eyes.
"Uh, no thanks. I'm already sharing the chocolate cake with Kagome." Inu yasha said pointing to the cake. Sango smirked and glared at Kikyo.
Kikyo pulled out a chair from another table and shoved Kagome aside to sit next to Inu yasha. "Inu yasha, could we talk for a while?" Inu yasha shrugged. "Alone?"
Kagome looked at Kikyo curiously. What was she going to do? Kidnap him and torture him to spend time with her? "Sure," she heard Inu yasha say as Kikyo and Inu yasha both stood up and left the table. Kagome watched the two walking to the back of the café behind a wall.
"Jealous?" Miroku asked looking at the same direction as Kagome.
"No, why would I be?" Kagome asked still staring at Inu yasha and Kikyo who were both talking. She couldn't help staring, wondering what they were talking about.
Sango sighed, "Come on, Kagome. Why can't you just say you like Inu yasha? It's not like we'd tease you or anything."
Kagome laughed, "First of all, no, I would never like him. Why can't you guys just stop saying that I like him when I don't? What's obvious is that we both hate each other." She stabbed the silverware into the chocolate cake making it split in half. "Even if I did, you guys would tease me anyway."
Miroku raised his eyebrows, "Oh? So you're saying, you could like him."
"No!"
"Then you don't like him but you want to like him but you can't because you're afraid that Miroku and I would tease you about you two." Sango said staring at Kagome.
"No."
Miroku thought for a moment, "Then you like him but you're hiding that you like him because you're afraid that we're going to make fun of you but you don't want us to know that you're hiding it so you're making us think that you like him when you don't so that we'd think that you really like him but then again you want us to think you hate him so you're covering it to make it sound like you hate him because you really like him which also means that—"
"What the heck are you talking about? My brain doesn't work that fast you know," Kagome said trying to remember what Miroku was just saying.
"Kagome, what Miroku's trying to say is that we all know that you're trying to—"
"OH MY GOD! JUST SHUT UP!"
Miroku and Sango both looked at Kagome surprised in silence.
"S-sorry."
Kikyo leaned against the wall and looked straight at Inu yasha. "What have I done to make you hate me so much?"
"I don't know," Inu yasha said dryly. "I wonder what."
Kikyo sighed and suddenly said, "It's because of Kagome isn't it. I thought our relationship was something special! And now you're going after some other ditzy short-tempered girl like her? And I have I mentioned that she's immature compared to me?"
Inu yasha groaned, "Kikyo, first of all, there was no relationship between us. I'm sorry you thought that way, okay? All the time I told you to fuck off, I meant it. Except you thought I liked you…which must've meant I hurt you. Yeah, I'm sorry about that too. And, Kagome? Yeah, it has nothing to do with her. Okay, you're beautiful and all that, but I really have no interest in you."
Kikyo's eyebrows began to twitch, "Are you rejecting me?"
"Well, if you want to call it rejecting…"
She pursed her lips together and closed her eyes, then opened them, "How can you fall for Kagome?"
"I never said I was falling for her."
"Well, it seems like you two like each other. She doesn't deserve you."
Inu yasha didn't answer. Kikyo reached up and touched Inu yasha's cheek and smiled with mischief, "You'll soon find how much you want me." She rose up and kissed him lightly on the lips and walked away.
"Did you see that?" Kagome asked Sango. She pointed to Inu yasha who was standing there with an odd expression.
"Huh. Yeah, saw it," Sango said licking the chocolate off her fingers. "What about? Are you jealous that you weren't the one he's kissing?"
Kagome kicked Sango hard under the table and glared, "No."
Inu yasha sauntered over and sank back into his chair. "Okay, now that was weird.
Miroku nodded, "So what did she say?"
"Nothing…that I'll soon find out how much I would want her."
"Wow, wonder what she's up to," Sango muttered.
Kagome stayed silent and pushed the left over cake in front of Inu yasha. He looked down at it for a second before picking up the fork and eating it. Seeing Inu yasha with Kikyo just irked Kagome for a second.
Inu yasha dug into his pocket and took out his wallet to pay for the cake, "Let's get out of here."
"Admit it," Inu yasha smirked.
Kagome shook her head denying. She tightened her grip that was holding onto Inu yasha's shirt. From the side, Kagome could see Inu yasha rolling his eyes. She rose higher and higher. She licked her lips nervously, now gripping Inu yasha with both hands.
"Yes you are. You're acting really obvious now."
"N-No."
"Whatever you say."
They both came to a halt pausing at the top of the 'pole'. Kagome let out a piercing scream when the seat dropped a hundred feet down. Next to her, she could hear Inu yasha laughing.
Kagome hurriedly unbuckled herself when the ride of 'Drop Zone' finished. She couldn't wait to stand on her feet.
"Told you, you were scared," Inu yasha said chuckling. Kagome turned to him wearily and slumped into the nearest bench.
"Shut up," She said weakly.
Inu yasha looked at her closely and noticed her pale skin. "Hey, are you okay?"
Kagome nodded her head and pointed to her stomach, "I don't have a strong stomach." She clutched her stomach for a moment and closed her eyes.
"You're not going to puke on me right?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. Like hell she would.
She felt Inu yasha's hands gently pushing her head onto his shoulder. "Here, lay on my shoulder for a minute. I shouldn't have forced you to go on that ride."
Kagome's eyes nearly popped out. The 'great' Inu yasha was actually lending her a shoulder to lie on? This must be a once in a lifetime thing. "Thank you." She mumbled out softly.
"My dear god. Do you see what I see?" Sango asked when the couple showed up holding two big pink and blue cotton candies.
Miroku nodded his head, "I am delighted to see this happy scene. But we mustn't bother them."
Inu yasha growled shooting the two a glare. Kagome had already fallen into a silent slumber. "She just wasn't feeling well."
"Uh huh. Well, we're going to go on the Ferris wheel. Do you want to take Kagome up with you?" Sango asked slyly.
"Get a life." He watched as Miroku and Sango walked away laughing and scoffed.
Inu yasha looked down at Kagome's face. She looked like an angel. She definitely didn't look like the short-tempered girl she usually was. Her white smooth delicate skin glowed in the afternoon sunlight. It seemed as if this girl haven't ever seen a pimple in her life.
Inu yasha had the urge to stroke her cheeks but held it back. His eyes fell onto her red full lips. They were so soft. He remembered they day they shared that kiss. He sighed and looked away from the sleeping girl. "I can't fall for her," He mumbled. "I'm a hanyou."
Kagome began to stir and cracked open an eye. She gasped and sat up quickly, "Hello."
Inu yasha turned to her. "Good. You're awake. Hurry up, I want to go do something."
Kagome nodded. She followed Inu yasha and wondered where Sango and Mirkou must've gone. Looking around, she saw many booths of games. She turned and saw the most adorable stuff animal in one of those machines where you grab the stuffed animals. "That's so cute!" Kagome squealed. (A/N: haha, I don't know what they're called. My bad.)
Inu yasha turned around to see Kagome pointing to one of the stuffed cat. "That's cute?"
He saw Kagome smile and nod. She pressed her hands against the glass like a three year old. It wouldn't hurt to get her it…. right?
"I'm so nice…" Inu yasha muttered. He took out his wallet and searched for his coins and put it into the coin slot. After a couple of tries he finally succeeded receiving the stuffed animal. He handed it to Kagome with a triumphant smile.
Kagome smiled brightly taking the prize happily. "Thank you!"
"Yeah, I just wasted three dollars in all trying to get it." Inu yasha said.
Kagome only smiled at him. She stared at him for a while before looking back down onto the ground and frowned.
"What?"
Kagome shook her head. She sighed and looked up. "I don't know if I should ask this, but why do you wear you're necklace all the time? I mean, sure you're a hanyou, but it's not like it's something to hide."
Inu yasha stared back at her in surprise, "What?"
"Uh, I didn't think I should've asked that, right?"
"No. That's not what I mean." Inu yasha looked away. "Hanyous just aren't…common people here, Kagome. And I don't want to be treated differently from all the other humans. Call me a wimp, but people are afraid of half demons, you know. If they knew I was one, they'd freak out."
Kagome looked at him in shock. Did he just give her a straight answer? "But there's no law here that's banning any hanyou. And there's no law to treat one lower either. So what's the problem?"
"You don't understand," Inu yasha muttered.
She sighed, "Then why don't you let me try to understand?" Kagome waited for Inu yasha to answer her but heard nothing. "Follow me," Kagome ordered. She led Inu yasha into a more secluded area where rarely anyone passed by.
"What do you want?"
Kagome reached for his beaded necklace but was stopped by Inu yasha's hand.
"What are you doing?" Inu yasha growled.
Kagome glared back at him. "Let go." Inu yasha shook his head. He held onto his necklace tightly. Kagome sighed and let go.
"Thank you." Inu yasha muttered. He let go of his necklace, thinking that Kagome had given up. Kagome quickly reached for his necklace and yanked it off.
"What the hell!" Inu yasha quickly transformed into a hanyou.
Kagome hurriedly put the beaded necklace into her pocket. "Finally!"
"Give me back the necklace. NOW." Inu yasha glared at her reaching out to take back his necklace. "Stupid girl, give it to me or else I seriously will beat the crap out of your ugly face." He waited for the girl in front of him to start screaming insults back at him, but didn't hear anything.
"Inu yasha, stop hiding from yourself. It doesn't matter if you're a half demon or not, just stop running away from yourself," Kagome said quietly. She looked up at him, "You know, I don't see what's so wrong about being a half demon. You've got some darn cute ears."
Inu yasha immediately stopped reaching for his necklace. "You pity me."
"Why would I do that? Does it look like I do? Ever since I've found out about your little 'secret' you've been treating me like crap. If I had pitied you, I would've stopped talking to you by now. I still think you're an arrogant stupid conceited jerk like you always are." Kagome frowned, "Darn it…your eyes are way freaking prettier than mine."
Inu yasha smiled, "You think so?"
Kagome smiled back and nodded.
"Duh, of course mine is. Who do you think I am?" Inu yasha boasted feeling superior. Kagome's smile quickly dropped back into a frown.
"Conceited fool," Kagome muttered. Her eyes slowly dropped towards Inu yasha's claws. Kagome gasped and looked back up at Inu yasha. She saw him wince, afraid that Kagome had changed her mind about him being a half demon. "Your nails are even cleaner than mine! What the hell have you been using?"
Inu yasha relaxed and stared back at his nails, "You really don't care if I'm a hanyou or not?"
"Should I?"
Inu yasha shrugged, "It's just that—"
"Hey, Inu yasha? I've got a really big favor to ask. Your ears look really soft and fuzzy and I have this urge to touch it, so I was wondering…can I?" Kagome said pointing to his doggy ears, "Please?"
"NO."
Kagome pouted, "Don't be such a party pooper! Just one tiny little rub, okay?"
"No."
Kagome grumbled something under her breath and reached out to rub them. "Gotcha!" She laughed rubbing both of his ears, "You're just like a real doggy but better and—Inu yasha, you're purring."
Inu yasha quickly stopped, "No I'm not."
The girl laughed playfully, "You're such a cute person. I just heard you purr! You liked it! I can't believe that………"
Cute. That's what she called him. A hanyou like him, and he was called, cute. When he looked at the girl in front of him, something made his heart warm. It was wrong. This wasn't supposed to happen to him. He was supposed to hate her but something wouldn't let him.
"If you were like this most of the time, I think you'd attract more girls, not that you don't right now. But still." Kagome hadn't noticed that she said anything wrong and continued teasingly rubbing his ears. She laughed, "And all this time you were acting macho, but you turn out to be—" Inu yasha grabbed her hand which was reaching for his ears again. His golden orbs stared deeply into Kagome's. What was this feeling? Inu yasha could hear his heart galloping when he was with her.
Kagome could've sworn her heart stopped beating when she looked into Inu yasha's intense stare. She felt his hands go up to comb her silky smooth hair. "Um, Inu yas—"
He wasn't going to let her talk now. He was so confused right now. So Inu yasha quickly sealed his lips over Kagome's. This kiss was different from the one before. The day before the dance, one of Inu yasha's friends had dared him to kiss Kagome. Damn truth or dare games.
The kiss had ended as Kagome stared amazed at Inu yasha. She cracked a tiny smile and brought her lips together to kiss him again to start the second kiss. She could feel his heart racing and felt her own picking up with his. She brought her hands around his neck feeling his thick white hair. Inu yasha's rough hands gently touched her face, using the pads of his thumb to trace her profile.
"My lord," Kagome whispered breaking away from Inu yasha. "I just…"
"Fuck."
A/N: Haha…sorry for the really late update. I just couldn't find the right time to type up this chapter, plus, I've been busy typing a different story thing for school. Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter. Oh yeah, guess what? I just recently turned thirteen last week. I'm finally a teen! Oh and one more thing. Jealousy In the Air, Stranger With My Face, Changed, and Mistaken are all stories by my sister. But since she's too busy…..she kind of stopped writing them. So, I'll try to use her ideas and continue writing them…..if possible.
