Recap:

"InuYasha, you're a great friend, you know that?" she kindly stated. InuYasha was a little taken aback by her kind words. Many a nights, he had dreamed of someone calling him their friend; he never imagined that Kagome would be the one to say it.

Chapter 5:

Truth or Dare?

Somewhere deep down inside him, he wasn't satisfied with simply being a friend. He didn't want to be just friends with this particular girl.

InuYasha wanted more; he wanted to pass his hand through her hair and know that he lov- 'wait! I don't love Kagome!' his thoughts contradicted. 'I mean, I like her as a friend, but we could never be anything else! And why would she? I'm just some lowly half-breed.'

He frowned at his treacherous thoughts and sighed; closing his eyes in defeat. Kagome noticed this and wondered what he could possibly be thinking.

"InuYasha? Is something wrong?" The worry lit up in her eyes.

"Oh…it was nothing. I was just thinking about…um…school crap," he lied. Right then, Sango and Miroku entered InuYasha's room without a knock.

"We're here!" Miroku exclaimed with joy. When he saw Kagome and InuYasha lying on the floor, his perverted knobs began to turn. "Sango? I think we should come back later; I think we caught them in the middle of a make-out session" he grinned out evilly.

InuYasha and Kagome's blood shot up to their embarrassed faces.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED!" they both yelled.

'Although,' InuYasha thought, 'I wouldn't have minded if that would have happened'. He quickly scolded himself for thinking like such a perv.

"I think you're right Miroku; maybe we should come back later," Sango agreed; ignoring their protests and yells while she went along with Miroku's heckling.

"Sango!" Kagome and InuYasha yelled in unison.

"Oh, come on! We're just joking!" Sango said laughing at the twosome's red faces.

The party went very well. Everyone had a good time; laughing and playing games. One of the more unforgettable games of that day had been Truth or Dare.

"Truth or Dare Kagome?" Sango asked. Thinking for a moment, Kagome finally answered:

"Truth."

"Hmm…do you like someone at out school?" she asked with a mischievous grin.

Blushing lightly, she noticed InuYasha from the corner of her eye. This glance went undetected as she peeked at him;

"Yes," she answered timidly. This caused everyone to stare at her with curiosity.

"Oh! Tell me who!" Sango exclaimed excitedly.

"One truth per turn," Kagome stated in her defense.

"Just wait till next time, then," Sango smirked.

Kagome's turn was up now. Her target? InuYasha.

"Okay. Truth or Dare InuYasha?" she asked kindheartedly.

"Dare" he quickly said, without thinking.

"I dare you to…umm." Sango came over and whispered a suggestion into her ear. Kagome smiled at the dare. InuYasha was regretting his choice now.

"I dare you to let me rub your ears till you're called on next!" she said happily.

"What? That ain't fair!" he pouted indignantly. Kagome stood up, ignoring his comment, to walk up behind him; she sat down coolly and started rubbing his ears. InuYasha had to force himself to scowl; trying to hide that fact that he found it extremely enjoyable.

He had to grit his teeth to insure that he didn't purr. He felt so relaxed that he was left to start pinching at his arm so he wouldn't fall asleep. Having his arms crossed, his actions were safely hidden from the onlookers.

"Keh! Truth or Dare Sango?" InuYasha faked a grumble as the messaging of the ears continued.

"Dare" she said happily. InuYasha shot a look of malignance at her. The poor girl felt chills go down her poor spine.

"I dare you to let Miroku touch you. But, you're not allowed to slap him!" he stated wickedly.

"Ah! How I've longed for this!" Miroku preened. "Thanks for doing a brother solid, InuYasha!" he said gratefully as he made to rub Sango's butt. She rose up her fist in emphasis as to how out enraged she was. She looked up with evil sparked all over her face. After the deed was done, they continued the game.

"Fine! InuYasha…Truth or Dare?" At this, Kagome had stopped rubbing InuYasha's ears now that her time was up; she signed in disappointment; his ears were so soft!

"Truth this time," InuYasha said, twitching his ears to help regain their normal feeling.

"Do you like someone in this room? If so, you must point to him…I mean her," Sango sniggered at her own joke. InuYasha just glared daggers at her.

"I don't like anyone in this room in that way!" he lied, crossing his arms and peeking at Kagome from the corner of his eye.

InuYasha and Sango went on like this until the entire group was tired. Around 11 at night, they had to break up the party; they did have classes the next morning, after all.

Leaving the hanyou's dorm, they each said goodbye. When Kagome and Sango got into their dorm room, they had gone straight to bed.

"Kagome? Are you asleep?" Sango asked.

"No. Why, what's on your mind?" she asked attentively.

"I was just wondering…do you like InuYasha? I mean as more then a friend?" she asked curiously.

"That's a tough question, Sango" Kagome confessed; a tint of hopelessness in her voice.

"So you do then!" she retorted happily

"Well…yes. But I'm not a hundred percent sure! There's so much doubt in my mind. He probably doesn't even like me back," she explained. She didn't mind telling these things to Sango; she was a very trustworthy friend, after all.

"What's to doubt? You like him and he probably likes you back. It's that simple!" she said forcefully.

"I just don't know. But what about you and Miroku? You two seem to be hitting it off," Kagome said cheerfully

"As if me and that perverted freak could ever be together!" she said; however, she was blushing deeply. With a final giggle, Kagome fell into a blissful sleep.

Kagome had dreamt that she was in trouble and that InuYasha had to rescue her; in return, she had freed him from a vile curse. It had been a good dream.

Somewhere South-West of the Boarding School; two wicked individuals were plotting an evil scheme.

"Kikyo, have you found her yet?" asked a deep voice.

"Yes, father. What would you like me to do now?" Kikyo asked as she bowed respectively down to her father.

"What else? Make her life a living hell on earth! Drive her to insanity!" he said with a vicious laugh. Kikyo readily joined in his laughter.
