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 4 - A Trip to the mall
"Hey, Kagome!" Sango greeted as she jogged up toward her friend. Inuyasha growled from where he stood, behind Kagome on her front porch. Boy, he sure was going to strange Miroku whenever he saw him.
"Hey, Sango." Kagome replied, walking down the steps into her yard, Inuyasha following her like her own shadow. He had no choice. He had accepted the dare, agreed to do it. He had never turned down a dare in his life and he was not planning to start stopping now.
"Come on!" Kagome shouted, "I want to hurry up and get there!"
Sango laughed and she and Kagome, how had to half-drag Inuyasha behind her, started walking down the street toward the mall.
On the way there, Sango and Kagome talked about all of the things they could do for the summer. Inuyasha said nothing and was just following them, his arms folded across his chest in annoyance.
They arrived at the mall and went inside. The place was crowded, with mostly students from their school. During the summer, the mall was everyone's favorite place to hang out. Well, everyone's but Inuyasha.
They managed to squeeze through clusters of people and headed toward the girls' clothes section, causing a groan of disgust to emanate from deep within Inuyasha's throat.
Kagome turned to look at him. He acted almost exactly like a dog, growling when angered or irritated, being nice and sweet when he wanted something. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
Narrowing his amber eyes, he demanded, "What?"
Kagome shook her head, "Nothing. Just…try to behave, please."
"Feh. Whatever." Came his all too famous reply.
They went into the girls' section, Inuyasha very reluctant to go because he was, of course, a guy and he did not want to be seen with two dimwitted girls in the girls' clothing department.
'Miroku,' he thought bitterly, almost seething with suppressed rage, 'I am so gonna get you! You are going to be so sorry!'
Kagome, fed up with his constant pausing in his walking, turned and hissed in his face, "Look, I know that I said that you didn't have to do what I told you to do, but, if you're serious about this stupid dare, then I suggest that you do what I tell you to do. Sango is here and could tell Miroku and they would make fun of you for turning down a dare."
Inuyasha instantly bolted forward so he would not get made fun of for declining a dare of such great magnitude. He practically dragged Kagome behind him, who was clinging to his shirt, as he caught up with Sango, who was looking through some clothes.
"Oh," She said, pulling out an outfit that consisted of a jean skirt and a tube top, "I like this. Don't you, Kagome?"
"Yeah," Kagome said breathlessly. She was still a little shocked and shaken at Inuyasha's sudden speed.
Sango replaced the outfit and went on looking through clothes.
"Look, I'm going over here to look at some clothes, all right?" Kagome informed Inuyasha.
"Well, what in the hell am I supposed to do?" He demanded acrimoniously. He had not even wanted to accompany them here, but that pervert Miroku was the one who practically made him do it.
"I don't know," Kagome replied. "Find something to do, but stay close so we can let you know when we're leaving."
"And when would that be?"
"I don't know, Inuyasha."
"Fine. Whatever." He huffed, walking a little ways away, just to get out of the girls' department. He did not want to also get picked on for being in the girls' section with two moronic girls.
After much looking, Kagome found the most perfect outfit for the summer. She just had to have it, but she first had to try it on. "Look, Sango!" She cried happily, "I found an outfit. I'm going to go try it on!" She then turned and began to head for the dressing rooms, but Sango's voice stopped her.
"Wait!" She walked up to Kagome and by this time, Inuyasha had heard her yelling and came to see what all the fuss was about, "Miroku said that…wherever you go, Inuyasha has to go…"
Kagome, who had been smiling brightly, lost her smile. She stared at Sango for a moment. "You're not serious…I mean…"
"You've got to do it, Kagome." Sango said, shaking her head.
"But-"
"No buts."
Kagome slumped her shoulders, her heart racing. She could not believe her luck! She was starting to hate the fact that Inuyasha could never turn down a dare. She now only wanted to hit him.
"What's going on?" Inuyasha demanded irritably.
"Come on," Kagome said in a toneless voice, dragging him by his shirt toward the dressing rooms.
He seen where he was about to dragged into and started to put up a fight, saying, "Oh, no! I am not going in there! Especially not with you!"
Kagome stopped and turned around to glower at him. "What do you have against me, anyway? I wasn't the one who accepted this freaking dare! So, it's all your fault!"
Inuyasha was speechless. She had a point…sort of. "Just shut up and let's get this damn thing over with!"
Kagome let out a 'humph' and turned and went inside, Inuyasha going into the stall slowly afterward.
"Turn around." Kagome commanded, feeling her heart beating harder, almost to the point where it felt as if it would beat its way out of her chest. "And no peeking."
"I would never wanna look at you, anyway," Inuyasha said heatedly, turning around and crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at the wall in front of him.
Kagome took great offense to that since she thought that she looked exceptionally good, but she ignored her hurt pride and began to change quickly, praying that he did not turn around and see her nude again like he had that morning.
Once she was in her outfit, she took a deep inward breath and said, "There." and turned around. Inuyasha turned his head slowly and got a glimpse of her in her new outfit, which was a blank shirt that had no sleeves and only a string that wrapped around her neck and very short shorts.
He felt his mouth drop open, but he could not move. The sight of this girl in an outfit immobilized him. What was the matter with him? She was beautiful, standing there, looking innocent and nervous as she blinked up at him, waiting for his comment on how she looked.
He regained his composure, however, and managed to blurt out rudely, "I don't like it."
Kagome's mouth fell open in surprise and hurt, but she rolled her eyes and opened the stall door and asked Sango, who said she loved it. She then came back in, closed the door, and told him to turn around again. He did and thought 'Great. Now that outfit will make me stare at that stupid girl. Damn it…'
"All right." Kagome said after a while, "You can turn around."
He turned around and seen her in her normal clothes. He rolled his eyes and followed her outside where the two girls instantly headed for the CD section and began flipping through the CDs.
They occasionally pulled out one they liked, played it on this little CD player that allowed you to hear some songs on the CD, and sang along to them, which irritated Inuyasha. He glared at them as they turned the CD playing devise up as loud as it would go, then dance and sing the songs, all the while think, 'I hate the mall. I hate those two girls.'
But, a voice in the back of his head was thinking, 'You know you liked how Kagome looked in that outfit.'
'Feh, yeah right.' He argued with himself.
The other voice did not answer.
Finally, after almost an hour and a half of shopping, Kagome and Sango approached him and told him that it was time to go. 'Thank God.' Inuyasha thought.
Kagome paid for her outfit and they all left, the sun beginning to set. Inuyasha and Kagome stood on her porch and watched Sango as she left, walking down the street towards her house before heading inside.
They watched television and ate dinner for a little while before Kagome said, "I'm tired. If you want, you can sleep on my mom's bed. Goodnight."
"Feh. I'm not sleeping on that bed." Was all he said before she went into her room and got into bed. But, Kagome had to laugh when she got up about an hour later and seen him, on her mom's bed, sound asleep, his ears twitching as he dreamt.
'I wonder what he's dreaming about,' Kagome thought, shaking her head, going back into her room and going back to bed…
