It was just a dare

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 6 - Beach Trip
It was a wonderful summer day outside with birds chirping and bright golden sunlight falling down over everything. A slight breeze sent Kagome's hair ruffling as she and Inuyasha made their way to the beach. Inuyasha had his arms folded across his chest with a scowl on his face. Kagome beamed at him, her smile almost as bright as the sun, "Aw, come on, Inuyasha! It won't be that bad. Cheer up."
Inuyasha scoffed and turned his head away. She was wearing that outfit that she had picked out from the mall that day. He could not look at her for if he did, he would suddenly feel very weak for some strange reason. Sure, she looked good in it and he liked it, but why did he feel so strange? He hated the way it felt and he always acted as if he despised her clothing.
She had told him to pack some swim trunks (that he had gotten from his house) and he had watched her as she stuffed a bikini in her duffle bag that she now carried on her shoulder. No doubt she also had sunscreen and sunglasses and a towel in there as well. He lifted his own bag over his shoulder as they reached the beach with its large waves and sandy shores.
When Kagome laid eyes upon all of this, she felt awe. She had not seen the beach in such a long time and it felt strange to see it again. She took in the salty sea air and turned to face Inuyasha, "Come on. We still have to…get…changed…" her sentence faltered at the end because she remembered that Inuyasha had to follow her into the changing rooms that were there.
Stifling a groan, she grabbed Inuyasha's hand and dragged him toward the rooms. She peeked inside and all around outside to make sure that no one would spot him and proceeded to pull him inside behind her. He didn't really protest that much, but when she took him to a corner away from the other girls in the changing rooms and told him to turn around so she could get changed, he did not seem too pleased. Who knew why?
"Whatever." He muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. He heard Kagome changing behind him and he heard the soft swishing sounds of clothes against skin as she tugged off her clothes and pulled on her bikini.
"You know," Kagome said as she put her clothes into her bag, "You could be changing now. And I won't look. Don't be looking at other girls, either."
Inuyasha let out a 'humph' at that sentence and began changing. "Why do you not want me looking at other girls? You jealous or something?"
"No, why would you think that?" Kagome demanded as she kept her back turned toward him.
He did not answer, however. He had found a mirror that was pointing in the direction of other girls and he was staring at it, transfixed on the girls in the mirror, some of them nude. Kagome noticed his stare and bopped him upside his head, "You pervert!" She hissed, noticing that he was fully dressed.
He turned to look at her, revealing his really hard, strong abs to her. "That hurt!" He said back to her, swallowing the lump in his throat from having seen Kagome in her bikini. She looked good in it. Very good.
Kagome felt herself blush, realizing that she was staring at his bare chest and abs. They were hard and strong looking and she really wanted to touch them. She pushed the thought aside and managed to pry her gaze from his unclothed chest. "Come on. We need to get out of here," she said quickly. "I don't want any of the girls to see you in here."
He rolled his eyes, but followed her out the door and into the bright sunshine. People were lying on the beach, some tanning, some reading. Some were even sleeping. Some surfers were being tossed back on to shore by large waves while some rode them like pros.
Kagome put her bag down near the water, close to the lifeguard stand. Seeing Kagome put her things down, Inuyasha copied her actions and did the same. "So what now?" He asked.
Kagome took out her towel and sat it down onto the sand. She sat down then pulled the sunscreen out. She applied it to her arms and legs and turned to Inuyasha, looking innocent. "Would you put this on my back for me?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened, but then he glared at her. "Why should I?"
Kagome narrowed her eyes at him, "One: Because I asked you. Two: Because you're my personal slave."
Inuyasha growled in annoyance and sat down and took the bottle from her. "At least I didn't tell you to put it on me. I asked you very nicely." Kagome said as he poured the creamy substance in his large, strong hands and put it on her back. She flinched. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"It's cold." She said, laughing a little.
He rolled his eyes and tried to ignore how soft her skin was and how awkward it felt to touch her. And he could not help but notice the goose bumps that formed on her silky skin. Finally, he finished and handed the bottle back to her.
"Thank you," she said softly, barely heard over the sound of the pounding waves and screeching seagulls.
Inuyasha's dog ears caught her light words, however, and he just mumbled, "Whatever." Then he asked; "So what do we do now?"
Kagome laughed and jumped up and grabbed his hand and drug him toward the water. He noticed where they were headed and his ears flattened against his head. "No, Kagome," he said firmly. "Don't take me over there! Not in the ocean! No!" He stopped talking when they were both in the water and a small wave came and washed over them completely.
Inuyasha came sputtering to the surface and seen her laughing. He growled as he shook his head roughly, getting the water out of his ears. "Thanks," he muttered.
Kagome laughed at him some more and then said, pointing to another wave that was larger than the last coming for him, "You better run."
Inuyasha seen it and ran over to where she was at, standing right at the edge of the water. "Why did you want to come to the beach anyway?" He demanded irritably.
"I don't know," Kagome replied with a shrug. "Just to have some fun, I guess. Don't tell me you're not having fun."
Inuyasha scoffed, "It depends on what your definition of fun is."
"This is fun." Kagome said, "Isn't it?"
Inuyasha didn't reply. He just gazed out over the water and the waves. They weren't very large. He glanced over at Kagome and impetuously grabbed her wrists and dragged her into the water where a big wave submerged them both. When he resurfaced, he saw her come sputtering up as the wave retracted back.
"Inuyasha!" She cried. He noticed that she was laughing as well.
"What?" He looked innocent as his golden eyes roved over her soaking wet body. She looked good in that bikini, especially when she was wet. He hated to admit it, but she looked almost exactly like his ex girlfriend Kikyo. But somehow, she looked a whole lot better.
Kagome found that she was once again gazing at his hard abs. Tiny water droplets trickled down his strong chest, glistening in the yellow sunlight. She looked up at his face and seen that he knew that she was looking at him. His lips twitched upward into an arrogant smirk. "You were looking at me, weren't you?"
Kagome felt her face grow hot, which was a sure sign that she was blushing. "No. Why would I want to look at you?"
"Maybe because you think I'm hot." He answered, still grinning.
"Yeah right." Kagome said as another wave came up and crashed against her legs. "You were looking me up and down, too. What's up with that?"
Inuyasha just went on smiling. At least he did until a big wave came up and knocked them both under. He came back up, spitting water out of his mouth to find Kagome standing there, coughing up water as well. "Damn waves," he cursed.
Kagome looked over at him, about to say something, but she glanced over his shoulder and seen someone that she really did not want to see. Gasping, she ran up closer to Inuyasha and used him as protection.
He looked down at her, confused, "Um…what are you doing?"
"Hiding." Came her reply.
"From who?"
"Koga." She pointed to a very tall, tan guy with long black hair that was put up into a ponytail. Inuyasha could smell the demon in him. He was a wolf demon. "He really likes me, but I don't like him. And even though I've told him that a hundred times, he won't leave me alone."
"Humph." Inuyasha said, unconcerned. That was her problem, not his. Besides, what could he do to help her?
"I know!" She said loudly, causing him to jump. "You could pretend to be my boyfriend for today just so he won't mess with me!"
Inuyasha nearly fell over into the wave that had just come up to their feet. "What? Hell no!"
Kagome looked hurt. But then grinned evilly, "I'm your master so you have to listen to me. I order you to be my boyfriend for the rest of the time we're at the beach. Got it?"
Inuyasha groaned and rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Inside, he was cursing Miroku. He was really going to hurt him.
Grabbing his arm, Kagome turned and pretended to be walking along with Inuyasha on the beach. More waves splashed up against their feet and legs, but they kept on going. Kagome knew that Koga would spot her or smell her eventually. And she was right. He saw her and yelled, "Kagome! Hey, Kagome!" And raced over to her.
She tried her best to be enthused. She forced a happy smile on her face and said, "Oh, hey, Koga. What's up?"
"Nothing really. Just hanging out with Ginta and Hikaku." He looked over Inuyasha and took in his scent before demanding, "Who's this guy?"
Kagome gulped and blushed, but managed to choke out, "He's my boyfriend." She felt Inuyasha tense beside of her at the sentence, but ignored it and continued, "We've been dating for sometime now."
Koga gaped at her, his eyes wide and his mouth open. "Y-your b-boyfriend?" He stuttered.
Kagome nodded, still smiling. "Yep."
Koga glowered at Inuyasha, who mirrored his expression. Kagome realized that Inuyasha didn't like Koga very much, even though they had just met. Maybe it was just because Inuyasha was anti social. He didn't get along with anybody very well, especially his older brother Sesshomaru, by what she had heard from Miroku. And it was starting to look like Koga was going to be a number one rival.
"Anyway," Koga said, managing to regain his composure, "I've got to go back over there and finish playing volleyball with Ginta and the others. Ayame is playing as well." He turned to leave, but stopped and glanced back at Kagome, "If you want to later on, you can ditch mutt face there and come play with us." Then he left.
Kagome sighed in relief and felt Inuyasha shaking. She glanced up at him and saw that he looked angry. "Why that little...fur ball…" Inuyasha muttered indignantly. "I'm not a mutt face."
Kagome rolled her eyes. Now they were definitely going to be enemies and go for each other's throats whenever they ran into each other. It figured Koga would call Inuyasha names like he had done. "Come on," she said, pulling him away towards the pool that was nearby where people could swim if they wanted to. "Let's swim for a while before we go home, ok?"
Inuyasha scoffed. "Whatever."
Once they were at the side of the pool, Inuyasha grinned devilishly and pushed Kagome swiftly, causing her to squeal and fall in. When she came sputtering to the surface, she glared at him as he smirked at her. "Oops, my bad. I tripped. Let me help you out." He extended a hand that she took. She grinned before jerking him in.
He came back up; ears pinned back to his head and a frown on his wet face. "I deserved that, didn't I?"
Kagome nodded in agreement, "Yes you did."
Inuyasha shook his head roughly like a dog, trying to get the water off of him. He even tilted his head to the side and attempted to get the water out of his ears. Kagome couldn't keep from laughing at the sight. He was actually kind of cute when he did that!
"What are you laughing at?" Inuyasha demanded, staring at her as they waded in the waist-deep water.
"Nothing." Kagome said quickly, realizing that she had laughed. She busied herself with looking away somewhere else.
"You were laughing at me, weren't you?"
"No, of course not."
"Yeah, right." Inuyasha could not help but smile. She was kind of cute when she was trying to lie. "Nobody laughs at me and gets away with it." He joked.
Kagome squealed and turned and tried to escape from him, but he caught up to her and grabbed the top of her skimpy bikini. She screamed in playful fear as he lifted her up and then dropped her back under water. She came back up and shoved him before tossing water into his face.
He growled teasingly before pushing her. She returned it and laughed as she managed to climb up to the side of the pool and sit down with her feet still in the water. He eventually came over and sat beside of her. "Tired?"
"A little." She replied.
"We can leave now if you want to. I don't give a crap."
Kagome laughed a little. "Of course you don't."
He looked over at her, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Kagome stood up and brushed him off, "Oh, nothing. Come on, let's go home."
They went back to the beach and gathered their things and headed home without bothering to change in the rooms. Why would they when they could change at Kagome's house?
Once there, they changed and got something to eat before watching Boogeyman. Kagome jumped on more than one occasion, especially when a crow crashed into the windshield of the young man's car. She screamed when that happened. Inuyasha did not jump. The whole movie only had loud noises and creepy music. If you eliminated that, it would not be scary at all.
Once the movie was over and they had all the dishes in the sink, Kagome went to her room after taking a shower and was sitting in front of the mirror, brushing her hair.
Some thunder was rumbling outside after a few flashes of lightning. Kagome paid it all no heed. She had never been afraid of storms before. As she stood up to go brush her teeth, thunder boomed fiercely, causing the house to shake. And impetuously after that, the lights went out and Kagome was plummeted into impenetrable darkness that can mess with the senses.
