It was just a dare

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters.

Note- Hi, guys! Since I have finished with Crimson Regret and Dark Angel is on hold, I have decided to try and work on a new story for you guys. Please review when you are finished reading. Thank you.

Summary- Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango have gotten to know one another at school, but they still have problems getting along. Inuyasha is known to NEVER turn down a dare, so, what happens when Miroku dares him to become Kagome's personal slave during the entire summer while her family is away at a family member's house?

Here it is. Enjoy.

Chapter 3 - Good Morning

Sunlight filtered through the cracks in the shades, spilling onto a sleeping form that was currently occupying the bed. Blinking her eyes open, Kagome managed to push herself up into a sitting position and glance around the room groggily, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

How had she gotten up to her room? Had she not been asleep downstairs in that uncomfortable chair? And where in the world was Inuyasha? Had he gone home because she had been yelling at him and crying? Had he been the one that had brought her upstairs and put her in bed like a child? If he had, it sure had been nice of him to do so.

She dragged herself out of bed and began to shuffle through her closet, searching for some clothes to change into for the day. Picking something and happy with her choice, she began to undress.

As she was doing this, however, someone was talking to her as they made their way up the stairs, "Kagome, are you up yet? If you aren't, then my God, do you sleep all day?"

Kagome gasped, not sure of what to do or where to run. Her bathroom was outside of her room, so that option was out. She would not have enough time to put on her clothes and she could not get back in bed totally nude.

Inuyasha entered the room, pushing the door open, almost choking when he seen her undressed. She screamed, grabbing the cover off of her bed and tossing it over her exposed body to cover herself. "What are you doing?" She screeched, "Get out of here!"

His eyes were wide in shock at the picture he had just seen, but he managed to regain his composure and run out of the room, closing the door behind him and race down the stairs away from her.

Kagome had gotten fully dressed and had cleaned her room, but had not gone downstairs to where Inuyasha lingered. She was still pretty shaken about her whole experience earlier with Inuyasha. She looked up at her ceiling and thought, 'Why is God punishing me like this?'

She picked up and soft pillow and mashed her face into it, screaming loudly. She managed to relieve some of the stress-not to mention embarrassment-and calmed down somewhat before putting the pillow back down.

As she just sat on her bed, she tried thinking about what she could do for the day that could possibly include Inuyasha somehow. It was the first day of summer and she had to spend every day with Inuyasha because of a stupid dare. She was not looking forward to this summer mostly because she had to share her house a house that should have been all to herself! and also because she had no plans at all for her three month vacation.

Heaving a heavy sigh, she stood up and headed downstairs to get some breakfast.

She got downstairs and casually walked right past Inuyasha, whose amber eyes were focused on her the entire time. "Um…uh…sorry about that stuff upstairs." He stuttered, not used to apologizing to anyone because, of course, he had never done it before.

She said nothing in return and kept going. He followed her into the kitchen and watched as she got some cereal in a bowl, poured the milk, and began eating after she had taken a seat at the table.

As she ate, she would glance up at him every now and then to find him eyeing her. Finally, she swallowed what she had been chewing and demanded, "What?"

He shook his head, "Nothing!"

"You don't have to shout!" She cried, finishing her breakfast and putting the bowl in the sink and placing the cereal box back in the cabinet.

"I'll yell if I want to!" He hollered.

"Just shut up!" Kagome shouted at him.

To her surprise, he kept quiet, though it appeared that he did not want to. Was he only being silent because of the whole 'I dare you to be Kagome's personal slave for the entire summer' thing?

"Why are you being quiet?" Kagome asked, her voice sounding weird from the silence that had once been before it.

"You told me to shut up, master." He growled, malice dripping from every word, especially the word 'master.'

Kagome sighed. There he went again with the whole 'master' thing. "I told you," She began, watching as he looked into the fridge, obviously hungry. Or maybe he was thirsty. "You don't have to call me 'master.' Nor do you have to do anything I tell you to do."

Inuyasha did not reply. He had closed the fridge and was now looking up at the cabinets.

Seeing his expression, Kagome asked softly, "Are you hungry? I could get you something if you want me to."

He looked back down at her, his yellow eyes gleaming a little bit. "Got any ramen?" He asked hopefully, "It's always been my favorite."

Kagome giggled and opened up a cabinet to reveal lots of containers that were full of ramen. "It's one of my favorites, too," She confessed, pulling out two containers and began to prepare them.

Once they were done, she took hers and handed Inuyasha his. "Want to watch TV?" She wanted to know.

"Feh. Whatever." Inuyasha scoffed.

Kagome rolled her eyes. He could be nice when he wanted something. But once he got what he wanted, look out! He could change back to normal in a heartbeat.

They ate and watched TV, occasionally arguing over what channel they should watch. Finally, they both just decided to cut the television off and finish eating in silence, which they did. After finishing their meals, they tried to find something else to do, but could not and simply sat in silence.

Time ticked by and it was getting late in the afternoon and they still had not spoken to one another. The phone suddenly rang loudly, causing Inuyasha and Kagome to jump in surprise.

"Did it scare you?" Kagome asked, a smirk on her face.

"No." Inuyasha said, looking away, his arms folded across his chest.

She laughed and shook her head before picking the phone up and saying, "Hello?"

"Hey, Kagome?" It was Sango,

"Oh, hi. What's up?" Kagome said with enthusiasm in her voice.

"Nothing really," Sango replied, "How are things going between you and Inuyasha?" She asked, curiosity etched in her voice.

"Pretty good." Kagome answered, glancing over in Inuyasha's direction. He was staring at her intently with his amber eyes.

"Oh, that's good." Sango said. "I was just calling to see it you wanted to come with me to the mall."

Kagome brightened. "Of course I want to go! Meet me outside. Inuyasha has to come with us."

Sango muttered, "Yeah, I know. But it'll be all right, with or without him."

"I hope you're right." Kagome murmured.

"See you in a few," Sango informed her friend.

"Ok. Hurry! Bye!" Kagome said, hanging up the phone. She looked at Inuyasha and saw that he was glaring at her; his ears were pinned back against his head.

"What?" She asked, not sure of what was wrong.

"Not the mall!" Inuyasha yelled. He had overheard their conversation with his dog-like hearing. "I am really going to kill Miroku! I hate this dare!"

Note- Sorry if it was too short, guys! I apologize and I will try my best to make the next chapters longer!
