---------------------------Chapter 2: The Bet Begins----------------------------
Finally the end of work had come, and Kagome wanted nothing more than to go home and go to sleep. The sun was beginning to set, a few stars had already begun to appear in the sky. Wiping off a final table half-heartedly, she glanced around the diner to see if she could spot Sango. It didn't take long to find her, a loud slap echoed through the rows of tables, and a couple people glanced around in confusion. As Kagome turned the corner to the staff only room, sure enough Miroku was there, holding, yet another slap mark on his cheek, and Sango glared at him, her face flustered.
Sango seemed to relax as Kagome came towards her, and angrily she muttered "Pervert." before glancing back in Kagome's direction.
"You ready to go?" Sango smiled through gritted teeth, anger still pulsing through her.
Kagome let out a long sigh and reluctantly nodded, pushing past Miroku to make her way into the women's change room. Sango eyed the man, un-amused, making sure his perverted ways didn't get the better of him. A couple minutes later and Kagome came back out in a black noodle-strap tank top and light blue low cut jeans. Inuyasha had arrived at Sango and Miroku a minute or two before she had.
"Well, lets get going." He muttered, not even looking at Kagome. They walked out the door, not really knowing where they were going.
"Hey! Why don't we go to the gym? My father works there, so I have spare keys. We can definitely find something to do there." Sango piped up. Kagome thought for a moment she had seen Sango flash a devilish smile at Miroku, but perhaps she was mistaken.
"Feh." Inuyasha growled, looking miserable. Kagome's heart lurched. 'Why the fuck am I feeling sorry for him?' She shook her head, trying to clear the feeling away.
As they neared the gym, Sango pulled out a key, sliding it into the lock and turning, and with a loud click, the door creaked open. Sango signaled with her finger to keep quiet until after she scanned the building for people, but soon came back, smiling.
"Come on! Its empty!" she laughed, turning toward the door leading into the main gym, waiting for the other three to follow.
Kagome sighed, rolling her eyes then following Sango. They walked into the gym, and Kagome looked around the room with widened eyes.
"This is the biggest place I've ever seen!" she called out as her voice echoed through the empty room. "So, what are we going to do?"
Sango pondered for a moment before replying, "Why don't we play a game of some sort?"
"Did you have one in mind?" Kagome turned to look at Inuyasha, who was walking over to flip the light switch on. Sango smiled.
"Not at the moment, but whatever game we choose, we should make a bet. Winner gets a personal assistant for the rest of the year, loser is the personal assistant."
Kagome smiled, glancing over in Inuyasha's direction. She then turned back to Sango.
"What about a tie?" Inuyasha growled, his ear twitching. It was Miroku who answered.
"Trust me, neither of you will want to get a tie!" he laughed.
"Yes, because if you end up in a tie, here's the deal. The two that played together, don't worry, its always going to be girl on boy, will… hmmm…. Any ideas, Miroku?"
Miroku had a lively gleam in his eyes. "How about if it's a tie, you have to sleep with the person you tied with."
Kagome and Inuyasha's jaws dropped, both of them speechless.
"And one more thing," Sango laughed. "If you tie, Inuyasha has to place a demon mating mark on you."
Kagome stuck out her tongue in disgust. Inuyasha snorted, seeming to be unfazed.
"If we do tie whatever. It's not like she'd last long in bed anyways."
Kagome turned to Inuysha, her eyes blazing wild fire. Inuyasha shrunk away towards Miroku, not making eye contact.
"So, what should the contest be?" Sango purred, snickering.
"How about a race?" Miroku laughed, looking slyly at Inuyasha.
"Well, that would give Kagome an unfair disadvantage, but…" she giggled. "Alright. Its been decided. You will have a race!"
Inuyasha smirked. "Hey bitch, prepare to be my slave!"
Kagome looked mystified, her eyes blank. Inuyasha cocked his head to the side, surprised she hadn't said anything. They lined up at the starting line, Sango and Miroku waiting at the finishing line.
"On your marks…." Came Sango's call, but after that, Kagome could no longer hear her. Her eyes were locked on the finishing line, unblinking as the blood roared in her ears. She jumped forward in unison with Inuyasha, determined to win. She glanced sideways, giving Inuyasha a determined growl. She pushed her legs hard, ignoring the look of wonder and confusion the hanyou gave her.
'Are her eyes usually blue?' he thought to himself. 'And since when… since when could a human run as fast as a hanyou?'
As the finish line came into site, her breathing became harder, jumping the last yard, sliding across the finish line. She smiled, getting to her feet and brushing off her skirt. As she turned around, her face fell from victory to dread. Inuyasha stood beside her, the same dreadful look on his face.
Sango smiled, confirming her horror as she exclaimed in a hysterical laugh, "It's a tie!"
