Ch6; The Sleepover

Kagome was trying to enjoy herself, but inside she was just dieing of nervousness! How could Eri do this to her? It is supposed to be something you do on your own, not put up to! She sighed to herself. It's not like she didn't want to…she was just being put in a corner where she had no choice, it just didn't feel right. Her nerves weren't helping either.

And what's worse, everyone was nagging her about the dare. 'What is it Kagome?' or 'Why were you blushing, Kagome? Tell us, Kagome!' She just couldn't stand it! Why couldn't they just leave her alone! She had a lot on her mind right now.

In the end, she decided to simply ignore them, and eventually they forgot about it and stopped asking. Soon Kagome began to concentrate more on the party, and eventually forgot about it herself. At the moment, they were eating some pizza that Ayumi had ordered and were talking and deciding what to do next.

"Why don't we listen to music?" Eri suggested eagerly as she took another bite.

"I guess so. But it may be hard getting music that the guys will like, too." Kagome informed them, looking over at her friends.

"Feh, I don't care." Inuyasha said, chewing contentedly. He loved the food from this era, but it had such odd names. Pizza? Who came up with that?

"Well…I really don't know what kind of music you listen too, but I suppose we could see." Miroku said, having no idea what kind of music the modern girl would listen to.

Eri smiled happily, standing up from the table. "Then to the stereo!"

She practically pulled them all to Ayumi's basement, which was the perfect place for a party! It had a pool table, Foosball, a pinball machine, a computer, big screen TV, and to top it off; an enormous stereo system with two large speakers! That was where they were all going to be sleeping that night, for there was plenty of room once you pushed the couches against the wall. Kagome loved Ayumi's basement; it was like your own arcade!

"Did anyone bring CDs?" Ayumi asked them.

The Inu-gang shook their heads, but Kagome and Eri went through their bags and brought out a decent stack of CD cases.

"Wow, Kagome! You brought that much?" Inuyasha asked her in amazement. He knew what the CD's were and could tell she had brought ALOT.

Kagome smiled warmly at him. "With friends like Eri, you can never be caught without music."

Eri nodded her head enthusiastically. "I listen to it all the time! Never caught without it!"

"Can we play the music now?" Shippo whined. He really wanted to hear the music from Kagome's era. So did everyone else, but they weren't as obvious about it.

"Sure Shippo. What do you wanna hear first?" Ayumi asked them all.

Eri looked through what Kagome had brought, and selected a CD. "Oh, we have to play this one! I absolutely love this, and it's a great dance song!"

"Sure, pop it in!" Kagome said eagerly. She really did love that song! It was so easy to dance to, and she really loved to dance even though she wasn't that good at it. Ayumi took the CD from Eri and put it in the player. There was a pause when it was processing, and then…

"LA LA LA LA LA!"

"HEY MAMA, THIS THAT SHIT THAT MAKE YOU GROOVE, MAMA. GET ON THE FLOOR AND MOVE YOUR BOOTY MAMA…"

"TURN IT OFF!" Inuyasha cried out, putting his hand over his hat, trying to block out the booming music from his sensitive ears. Ayumi frantically reached for the volume button, and after a moment of scrambling hit the mute button.

"What the hell was that???" Miroku asked irritably, rubbing his now-throbbing ears. "I didn't know music could play that loud!"

Ayumi grinned sheepishly. "It's not supposed to. My brother was the last one to use it. He ALWAYS blasts his music, and gets in trouble for it by the neighbours." She turned down the music over 30 notches, and then pressed play again.

"(la la la la la)
Hey mama, this that shit that make you groove, mama
Get on the floor and move your booty moma
We the blast masters blastin' up the jamma
(REEEEEEEWIIIIIIND)
Cutie cutie, make sure you move your booty
Shake that thing like we in the city of sin, and
Hey shorty, I know you wanna party
the way your body look really make me really feel nauuughty
Cutie cutie, make sure you move your booty
Shake that thing like we in the city of sin, and
Hey shorty, I know you wanna party
the way your body look really make me really feel nauuughty"

Kagome and her future friends had already begun dancing, moving their bodies in all sorts of ways to the beat of the music. By now, Sango had sort of caught on to how people from this era dance. She wasn't sure how to put it together, though. She tried a little bit to move her hips, but failed hopelessly; she tried to shake her hips but nearly fell over, and she was flailing around trying to regain her balance. She tried again, but she just couldn't seem to get the beat of this music!

Eri looked at her oddly and turned to Kagome, whispering, "Is she tone deaf? Or has she just never danced before?"

"Option number two, I'm afraid." Kagome told her, walking over to where Sango was standing, and started clapping the beat of the song. As she was doing this, she showed Sango how to move, and a few dance steps. Sango watched her closely and gave it a try, not really getting it. Kagome sighed at repositioned her, and tried to explain it to her. Sango nodded and tried again, surprised at how easy it was.

"Hey mama, this that shit that make you groove, mama
(hey) get on the floor and move your booty mama
(yaw) we the blast mastas blastin' up the jamma
(hey) so shake your bambama, come on now mama
Hey mama, this that shit that make you groove, mama
(hey) get on the floor and move your booty mama
(yaw) we the blast mastas blastin' up the jamma
(la la la la la)"

"That's it!" Kagome said encouragingly, watching Sango dance like she had been doing it for years. Wow. She's good.

"Sango, you're great!" Yuka told her, while watching her enviously. I wish I could dance like that.

"Wow, would you look at my dear Sango dance!" Miroku said, watching her with a lecherous grin. He knew that he wasn't supposed to grope her for the whole night…but how could he not! Sango's hips were swing back and forth, right in front of him. They were teasing him!

"Now now, Miroku. You have a dare to uphold!" Inuyasha told him, half amused and half disgusted at his dilemma.

"But…" Miroku said, eyeing Sango again. He felt his hand moving before he even realized that it was. It was twitching. Twitching with yearning; with anticipation. He felt it moving forward, and by the time he realized it, he had taken a step forward. Oh, how he wanted to! But he couldn't! It was against the rules to not keep the dare! Oh, this is so not fair!

In desperation, Miroku lifted his other hand and clutched to his outstretched one, pulling it backwards. "Must…resist…must…stop…" he said, struggling with his hand. It really is cursed! It actually does have a mind of it's own! It wasn't just an excuse! I really have no control over it! "ERR!" with a grunt, Miroku forced his arm to his side, holding it firmly in place. Yet it was still fighting, and he had to keep a firm grip on it.

Inuyasha was laughing his ass off. "Oh. My. God. You…ha ha ha, you are such a…" he was cut off because his laughter was taking over. He was still standing up, but he was having a hard time.

Kagome turned around when she heard Inuyasha laughing, because it wasn't something he usually did. Then she saw Miroku glaring at him, clinging to his lower arm for dear life. She also noticed that his arm was twitching. Then Kagome then looked over at Sango, who wasn't holding back a bit with her dancing, a huge smile on her lips. Kagome also smiled, giggling as she realized what was happening. She quickly took a snapshot of Miroku in his struggle. Then one of Inuyasha with a handsome smile on his face from laughing, and then another one of Sango dancing. This really was going to be a fun night!

Inuyasha had calmed down a little, but was still laughing somewhat. Kagome was watching him, a smile on her lips. He was so cute when he smiled, and even cuter when he was laughing! She just wished that it were her he was smiling at!

The song had just ended, and now they had put on 'My Humps.' When Inuyasha first heard it, he had no idea what it was about.

"Uh, Kagome…what's this song? It doesn't make any sense." He asked her cluelessly.

"Simple, my good man!" Miroku answered for her, the usual perverted expression on his face. "It is a woman singing now. She is saying 'My Humps' and 'My lumps'. She is obviously talking about her body! Kagome, do you have a picture of this girl?" he asked her eagerly, which put a disgusted look on Kagome's face.

"Miroku!" Kagome said irritably.

"Here, Miroku." Eri said, passing him the CD case. "There's a picture of Fergie right on the front."

Miroku looked at it in amazement. Number one; he had never thought that a picture could be this clear and realistic. Number two; well…he was having Miroku thoughts.

"Eri!" Kagome yelled over the music. "Don't give him that!" She snatched the Case out of Miroku's hand, causing him to lower his head in defeat.

"What do ya guys want to listen to after this?" Yuka asked.

"More dance songs!" Sango said eagerly. She was now hooked on dancing!

"Doesn't really matter I guess. Um…" Kagome looked through her CDs, and pulled one from its case. "Pon De Replay! That one is good for dancing!"

"Sure!" Eri said happily. "I love that song!"

Ayumi looked over at the guys, who were just standing there watching the girls. "Hey, what's the matter with you guys? Scared of a little dancing, are you?" She asked them, trying to persuade them to dance. She just had to try using their Ego.

"Why would we want to dance?" Inuyasha said stubbornly.

"You mean you can't dance." Ayumi said slyly. She was right; Inuyasha would never admit he couldn't dance!

"Yes I can! I just don't want to!" Inuyasha said angrily. He hated when people wanted him to do something he couldn't.

"Well, I know guys don't really dace that much, but you can at least try! It's not that hard!" Ayumi told him. Pon De Replay was now playing.

"No, we're fine right here." Inuyasha said distastefully, glancing towards Miroku. "Wait! NO!"

To late.

"HENTI!" Sango screamed furiously, hitting Miroku so hard that he got knocked out. Miroku fell to the floor with a loud bang, and an unmistakable grin on his face. Even knocked out, he was thinking gleefully of what he had done.

"Sorry, Sango. I tried to stop him." Inuyasha said honestly. Kagome and Sango looked at him oddly; Inuyasha apologize? And for something he didn't do? Now that…was weird. Must be the holiday season. Kagome thought.

"It's not your fault, Inuyasha. How could he break that dare? I let him GROPE ME!" Sango said, infuriated.

"What shall be his punishment, ladies?" Kagome asked them. "Well, ladies and man." She added as an afterthought, making Inuyasha growl.

"I say we dress him up like a girl! With Makeup and everything!" Ayumi said evilly, with a huge grin on her face. "I have my hippie princess costume from Halloween! It would be hilarious to see him in it!"

Kagome nodded her head eagerly. "And we could take a Photo! I have my camera!"

"Uh…" Sango said, having no idea what they were talking about.

"Don't worry; you'll see. It'll be good." Kagome assured her.

"What do we do with him until then?" Inuyasha asked her, laughing. He was there when Kagome had left with her friends on Halloween. He knew what costume they were talking about.

"Inuyasha, you stay here and make sure he doesn't wake up. If he does, knock him out again. Ok?" Yuka asked. Inuyasha nodded, and all five girls walked into Ayumi's basement.

"The costumes are over here." Ayumi said, pointing at two large black bags that looked big enough to be Santa's Sack (AN; lol). "Grab it, and then we'll go upstairs."

Kagome ran over to one of them and picked it up, and nearly fell over at how heavy it was. She groaned and heaved it onto her back, which didn't make it any easier. "What on earth do you have in here? Bricks? Whatever it is, it's jabbing me in the back."

"Oops, sorry Kagome. Wrong bag." Ayumi said apologetically.

Kagome gave a sweat drop, and dropped the heavy bag. They she picked up the second one, which was like ten times lighter, and they all headed up to Inuyasha.

"Pick him up, would you Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him sweetly. Inuyasha grinned and nodded, picking Miroku up roughly and slinging him over his back. Eri, Yuka and Ayumi gasped at his strength, but Inuyasha didn't seem to notice.

"Where do you want him?" Inuyasha asked them eagerly. He really wanted to see Miroku in that outfit.

"Upstairs in my room. It's the first door to the left." Ayumi told them.

Inuyasha nodded and they all headed to the stairs. Inuyasha leaped right to the top, earning him another gasp from the astounded girls.

"Wow, Kagome! You sure like to pick your men strong! Inuyasha's a Tank!" Eri whispered to her as they headed up the stairs.

Kagome smiled at her comment, a slight blush warming her cheeks. She walked forward another few feet, and opened the door to reveal a large room with pale pink walls. To one side was the bed, and on the other end was a chest of drawers with a large mirror on it, and it was covered with hair supplies and makeup. There was a large black been-bag chair in the middle of the room with several funky striped pillows, and a TV in front of the Bed. It was a sweet room.

"Put him on the chair." Kagome told Inuyasha, and he put Miroku in a position that, is his eyes were open, he would appear conscious. Kagome then dropped the bag Next to them, and all of them began to surf through it. Unfortunately, Miroku was beginning to stir.

Miroku opened his eyes and looked around. All eyes were on him. Some were amused, some were pissed, but most had an evil look to them. Then he noticed that he was not on the ground, but in a different room sitting on a chair. He got a little edgy. "Uh…guys? What…where are we?"

Kagome looked over to Inuyasha, who nodded and got up, walking towards Miroku, who looked up at him expectantly. Inuyasha leaned in so the he was only a foot away from Miroku's face, staring him in the eye mischievously "Sorry, buddy. You failed your dare." Before Miroku could respond, Inuyasha hit him over the head lightly, and Miroku was once again unconscious.

"It's amazing how his head has taken so many beatings today, yet Miroku doesn't seem that affected." Eri thought aloud.

"Oh, he gets hit at least five times a day. Maybe it is all those beatings to the head that cause his pervertedness." Sango said, laughing bitterly.

"I found it!" Eri said joyfully, pulling out a floor length skirt. It was layered with nearly six thin fabrics, each one a different shade of purple or silver. She also pulled out a small purple top that could hardly be called a shirt. It looked more like a slightly large bra with only one sleeve, and was also layered with silver and purple fabric. Then She pulled out a purple tiara with 3 small jewels embedded in it, as well as some arm bracelets and two dangling earrings. It was a sweet costume…if you were a girl. But it was something that would make a guy wear a paper bag over his head for the rest of his life if people saw him in it.

"Oh…my…god. Are we really going to make Miroku wear that?" Sango said in astonishment. She was not sure weather to be shocked that people in this era would wear something like that…or if she should be laughing her ass off by picturing Miroku in it.

"You bet!" Ayumi told her, amused at her reaction.

"That would be hilarious!"

"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean…it's too good of a costume to waste on him. You may not want to wear it after this." Inuyasha told Ayumi in a serious tone.

"No, I'm sure I want to do this. Miroku has earned it." She told him cheerfully.

"No arguments here. I was just checking." Inuyasha said with a evil smile.

"And I'll get a picture of it, so that we will always have a memory of this!" Kagome declared happily.

"Um…Kagome, can I ask you something?" Sango asked her.

"No problem, Sango!" Kagome said, and the two of them walked to the other side of Ayumi's room.

"Kagome, what is a picture?" Sango asked her curiously.

"It's like a drawing, only better. It's a way of capturing what is happening, so that we can see it later." Kagome explained.

"How would you do that?" Sango asked her, fascinated.

Kagome looked around her to make sure that Inuyasha wasn't looking. Luckily, he was helping the girls take off Miroku's shirt (AN; ya, they are taking off his shirt!). "I'll show you." She whispered, pulling out her Camera from her bag, and holding it out for Sango to see. "We use this. It's called a Camera."

"Wait …didn't you pull that out when Inuyasha and Miroku…" Sango's eyes widened in astonishment. "Kagome…did you…"

"You bet!" Kagome said with a giggle, and Sango soon joined in.

Kagome slipped the camera back in her bag, and the two girls headed back to the others. Inuyasha saw their smiles and snapped "What's got you two smiling?"

That only made them giggle harder, so Inuyasha ignored them and grabbed the top for the dress. "Here's the shirt. Are we ready to put it on?"

"Yep. We'll put the clothes on, then we'll do his hair and makeup." Yuka said. "Pass me the shirt." She took it from Inuyasha and began to slip it over Miroku's head, while Yuka and Eri were taking off Miroku's pants. (AN; yes, they are taking off his pants. But they don't see anything, relax. BACK OFF PERVERTS!)

When Yuka had the shirt on, Kagome and Sango undid Miroku's topknot and began to stile his hair, putting some temporary red hair die streaks in it. "Now all we have to do is wait till the die sinks in, then we can curl it." Kagome laughed. "But in the meantime, we can paint his nails."

"Ayumi, where are the shoes to go with the dress?" Eri asked her.

"They are in the closet."

"Inuyasha, can you help us get the skirt on?" Yuka asked him, and he rushed over to them eagerly, now fiddling with the skirt. He undid the knot in it, and tied it around Miroku's waste.

"This will look great when It's done! Sango, what nail polish do you want?" Kagome asked her, holding up three different colours.

"I like the lavender one. It will go with the dress!" Sango giggled.

"Me too." Kagome agreed, also giggling. She opened the bottle and they began to paint his fingernails. Inuyasha slipped on the shoes with some difficulty; they were not meant for someone whose feet were the size of Miroku's. Yuka and Ayumi were working on his makeup, giving him excessive amounts of eye shadow and lip-gloss, while Eri was curling his hair. If they didn't know who it was, and if his arms and legs weren't covered in hair, they could have easily mistaken him for a girl.

"Well, ladies. Do you think we're done?" Inuyasha asked them. They all took a step back, admiring their work.

"I think we are, Inuyasha." Kagome said delightedly. "All we need now is to wake him up."

"Leave that to me!" Inuyasha said, a huge grin on his face. He took a step towards Miroku

"Oh, wait Inuyasha!" Kagome said suddenly, causing him to whip around to face her. "We've forgotten one of the most important things!" Kagome raced over to Ayumi's dresser and picked up the light purple tiara, placing it on top of Miroku's now wavy, shoulder-length hair. "Alright. Now we're done. But could you get him to stand while you are waking him up? It will look better."

"Ok…whatever you say," Inuyasha said, slightly confused. But he did as he was told, and picked Miroku up into a standing position. Then he leaned close to Miroku and whispered. "Hey, Miroku! Wake up! There are some women here who say they will bare your children."

Miroku instantly opened his eyes, and looked around at all of them. "Where? Where are they? Let them know I gladly accept."

"Ready, Kagome?" Inuyasha inquired evilly.

"You bet!" she said, holding her camera up.

"Alright." Inuyasha let go of Miroku and stepped away, falling on the floor with laughter. Kagome pressed down the button and smiled. It was the perfect shot!

Miroku just looked at them oddly. "Hey, don't think I've forgotten that you knocked me out earlier!" he said angrily. "But I have more important business to attend to, so if you'll excuse me…" Miroku went to take a step forward, but found himself unbalanced on odd shoes. He wobbled slightly to regain his balance, and looked down. "What the…what am I wearing???"

He turned so that he was facing Ayumi's chest of drawers, and looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes went wide with Horror, and he stared at his reflection with utmost terror.

"Wh…what have you done to me???" He yelled in devistation. He put a hand out to the mirror, and tried to take a step forward, only to once again loose his balance because of the shoes. He looked down at them, not dareing to move them. He just stared at them in disbelief. "What the hell am I wearing???" He slapped his hand to his forehead in disbelief…and then…

"AAHHHHHH! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY HAIR???" Miroku's bellow could probably have been heard all the way down the street; which was not really a good thing since it was like one in the morning.

Miroku whipped around, his hands rushing through his hair, as if that could remove the red highlights. He turned to face them, eyes livid with anger. "ok, fun's over. Who did this?" he growled.

"We all did. You broke your dare." Sango said coolly to him, trying not to burst out in laughter.

Miroku froze, and then a grin came over his face. "Sango, you wouldn't believe it! I…"

"Save it, monk!"

"No, but Sango! You don't get it…I really had no control! I was fighting it! Really I was!"

"Maybe in your head." She said doubtfully.

"But why did you have to do this to me?" He asked then pleadingly.

"Hey, you disserved it!" Kagome said, reloading her camera.

"Trust me, it could be worse." Eri said playfully.

"Like how? MY HAIR IS RED!" Miroku cried in grief, once again running his fingers through his now red streaked, curly hair.

"Oh, you have no idea what we could have come up with." Yuka said evilly, playing with his fear. "I mean, if we could do that to your hair, imagine what else we could have done. We could have shaved it off!"

Miroku took a step a back in fear, putting both hands over his head as if to protect them from the threat. Kagome raised her camera and took another shot. This was awesome!

Inuyasha turned around to look at the camera closely. "Hey, Kagome…wasn't that what you were holding up in the hot tub?" he asked her suspiciously.

Kagome smiled at him evilly. "You bet."

"And that takes pictures…" his eyes widened in horror. "Kagome, you didn't!"

She smiled even wider. "Now, would I do something like that?" Kagome batted her eyelashes innocently. Inuyasha growled but did nothing. He would have to get the camera when they were asleep; otherwise Kagome would sit him till the end of never!

Miroku was now frantically trying to get the dress off, and was having no luck. Everyone was falling on the floor with laughter at his struggles. He just glared daggers at them. "I'll get you guys for this!" but that only made them laugh harder.

"What should we do now? It should be about two a.m. by now." Ayumi told them. "Any idea's?"

"Well…we could get some snacks…" Inuyasha suggested eagerly.

"Are you always hungry?" Ayumi asked him. He nodded. With a sigh of defeat, she asked him "What do you want?"

"Do you have any ramen?" he asked her hopefully.

She looked at him odd. "You want ramen? I mean, sure we have it, but that wasn't what I…oh, well. Sure, we'll make ramen."

"And we can get other snacks and watch a movie!" Eri said joyfully.

"But we just saw a movie!" Yuka protested.

"So?" Eri shot back, and Yuka made no further arguments.

"I guess so." Ayumi said. "A movie is the perfect way to lull us to sleep. We can set up the sleeping bags down in the basement, so we can watch the movie in our beds."

"Sounds like a plan!" Sango said happily.

"I'll go get snacks; you guys pick a movie. They are in the first two cupboards next to the TV." With that, Ayumi disappeared upstairs, and they all headed towards the TV, surfing through the movies.

The movie went by pleasantly; Kagome spent most of it with Inuyasha's strong arms wrapped around her. The movie was not really a chick flick, but sort of a high school movie. They were all laughing themselves to sleep.

Sango still didn't trust Miroku not to grope her, so she stayed over with Eri, Yuka and Ayumi. Miroku did make an attempt to move closer to them, but they didn't let him within arms length of them, which made sense. Kagome and Inuyasha let him sit with them; they both knew that even Miroku wasn't stupid enough to try anything on Kagome.

Now the movie was over, and Kagome lay in Inuyasha's arms. Kagome had a feeling that he was asleep, but she couldn't tell for sure. She rested her head on his shoulder, staring at him dreamily. He was so handsome when he was asleep. She finally closed her eyes and buried herself in his arms. She was almost asleep, when…

"Pst…Kagome!" Eri whispered from across the room. "Kagome! Over here!"

Kagome opened her eyes and glanced over at her friend, who was staring at her with wide eyes. Eri nodded her head at her, then at the sleeping Inuyasha. Then she made kissy-noises with her lips, and stared at Kagome.

Kagome tensed up as she remembered what she was supposed to do. "But I can't wake him up!" she whispered to Eri.

"Wake who up?"

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, who now looked wide-awake. Then she looked over at Eri again, only to see her fast asleep. "Oh, no one, Inuyasha." She said softly, trying to stay calm. "I just wanted to show you something."

Inuyasha looked at her oddly, but got up all the same. "What do you want to show me?"

"You'll see in a minute." She told him, and walked upstairs. Inuyasha followed her curiously. What could she want to show me at this time of night? He was even more confused when she stopped next to a tree in Ayumi's living room. "Kagome, I've been wondering about this. Why is there a tree inside the house? And what's all this stuff on top of it?"

Kagome giggled. He was so cute when he didn't know something. "It's a Christmas tree. People decorate it, and then put presents for each other under it. Santa comes down the chimney and delivers more."

Inuyasha looked at her oddly. "Who would go down a chimney? Is he a demon?"

Kagome laughed. "I really don't know." She said honestly.

"Is that what you wanted to show me?" he asked her.

Kagome smiled shyly. "No. I wanted to show you that." She pointed directly above them. Inuyasha followed her gaze upwards, but all he saw was a tiny plant.

"You wanted to show me a flower?" he asked her irritably.

"It's not just a normal flower, Inuyasha. It's mistletoe." She said, a slight flush arising on her cheeks. Inuyasha just stared at her searchingly, as if trying to find the hidden meaning in what she said.

"What's mistletoe? I've never heard of it."

"Well…it's a Christmas plant…and…well…" Kagome turned really red. "There is a story that goes with it, a tradition." Inuyasha nodded for her to continue. Then Kagome proceeded to tell Inuyasha about the tradition of mistletoe.

"Really?" Inuyasha asked her interestedly. "So, when two people stand under the mistletoe, they have to kiss?" Kagome nodded. "Why?" he asked her puzzledly.

"Well…" Kagome thought for a second. "To be honest, I don't really know. I guess it's just a way to get people to show their emotions for each other. Or give them an excuse to kiss."

Inuyasha smiled at her. "You mean people like us?" he asked her playfully.

Kagome smiled back at him. "I guess so." She said, giggling.

"Well, then we must honour tradition, shouldn't we?" Inuyasha said, his eyes gleaming mischievously.

"I wouldn't dare not to." She said, a large smile on her lips, which seemed to be calling out to Inuyasha in the dim light. It widened when Inuyasha snaked his arm around her waist. Kagome twisted her head a little, so that the hair was out of the way, and stared into Inuyasha's shining eyes. It truly must be Christmas time.

Review!

Thanks again for all of u who guessed the dare. I know that most of u said she had to kiss him. But there were so many people that made a guess, I just had to narrow it down. And, for those of you who haven't figured it out yet, Kagome's dare was to kiss him under the mistletoe. Thanks again for all the guesses, and I will read all the winners' stories! - see y'all later! lol
