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 8 - Nightclub?

Kagome gasped and sat up quickly. Inuyasha sat up right after her, his dog ears having caught the soft, muffled sound of Kagome's mother's voice. "You've got to hide!" Kagome hissed.

"Hide where?" Inuyasha demanded, keeping his voice a whisper.

Kagome looked up at the door, then back down at him. "I don't know! Hide!"

Without warning, Kagome shoved Inuyasha underneath the blankets and placed two pillows over the lump that he created in the sheets. Then she laid on top of her own pillows and pretended to be tired.

Right at that moment, her mother walked in. "Oh, Kagome, dear. How are you?"

"I'm good, mom." Kagome replied groggily. "Why are you back so soon?"

"Sota forgot some of his clothes and I came to get them. And I also came back to check up on my baby girl." Her mother replied, coming up and hugging her daughter.

Underneath the thick blanket, Inuyasha snickered.

Mrs. Higurashi pulled away from her daughter. "What was that?" She demanded.

"Oh, that was just my stomach." Kagome lied, cursing Inuyasha in the back of her mind. "I'm a little hungry."

"Well, I'll go fix you something." Her mother said, turning and heading for the door.

"No!" Kagome said, frantically. She did not want her mother to stay longer than she needed to.

Her mother turned to look at her curiously. "Why not?"

"I can handle it, mom. Honest. You just get whatever you need and head back up to Uncle Kiyoshi's. You deserve to have fun once and a while." Kagome said, trying to be enthusiastic, forcing a bright smile on her face.

Mrs. Higurashi beamed at her teenage daughter. "Oh, sweetie! That is so thoughtful of you!" She gushed.

Kagome felt Inuyasha attempting to stifle his laughs, failing miserably. He was shaking against Kagome as laughs wracked his body. With one hand underneath the covers, she reached up and grabbed one of his fuzzy dog-ears and jerked. He covered his mouth as a yelp of pain escaped his mouth. It came out muffled and caused a worried look to cross Kagome's mother's face. "I'll just leave now, so you can hurry up with breakfast. You seem really hungry."

"Oh, don't worry about me, mom. Everything is under control. Just go and have a great time and tell Sota and gramps that I said hey." Kagome said.

"I will. Sota misses you." Her mother informed her daughter.

"I bet." Kagome said, feeling her face grow hot. Inuyasha was so close to her, his chest pressed against her stomach. It was a very…strange position that she had gotten herself into. If only her mom would leave and stop embarrassing her in front of him. "Anyway, be careful going up there."

"I will. And uncle Kiyoshi's number is on the refrigerator. Call me if you need anything. Bye sweetheart." Mrs. Higurashi came up and embraced her daughter tightly before turning and leaving. Kagome held her breath and released it when she heard the front door close and the car start up and pull out of the driveway.

With the straightest face she could muster, Kagome grabbed the covers and jerked them back. Inuyasha looked up at her before pulling himself into a sitting position. "You were awake the whole time, weren't you?"

"Huh?" Kagome asked, perplexed. "What are you talking about?"

"Before your mom came in." Inuyasha explained, stretching. "When we were hugging. You were awake, weren't you?"

"What? No!" Kagome said, her face turning red and hot. "If I was, I would have jumped up and slapped you."

"Sure. Why did you jump up so fast when you heard your mom? You don't have canine hearing like I do." Inuyasha countered.

"Believe it or not, I heard her!" Kagome shot back. "What about you? I know you were awake."

"Believe what you want to believe." Inuyasha said calmly. "I was awake."

Kagome's eyes grew large. "You were?"

"It wasn't because I liked it. I don't see who would." Inuyasha said, causing Kagome's anger to rise. "I just didn't want to wake you up. Now what about breakfast? I'm starving!"

"Breakfast? I'll give you breakfast!" She reached up and grabbed one of his soft, fuzzy dog-ears and pulled, walking down the stairs. He followed right behind her, wincing in pain.

"All right, woman!" He shouted. "You can let go now!"

Kagome released his ear and went into the kitchen, getting ready to make breakfast. Inuyasha stood in the doorway to the kitchen and watched her as she began to hurriedly make some pancakes. "You know," she said, mixing the pancake mix with some water, "you could be helping me."

"Yeah, I could," he replied, leaning against the doorframe. "But I'm not."

"Well, then." Kagome said, turning the oven on. "It's going to be quite a while. I'll just make sure that I'll take my sweet time and keep the oven temperature down on low."

"You'll just be hungry, too. So what's the point?" Inuyasha asked, walking over to her.

"Oh I'm not hungry one bit." Kagome said. "So I won't suffer."

"I hate you." Inuyasha growled as he grabbed some eggs from the refrigerator.

"I know." Kagome said tonelessly, not looking up at him. She turned the oven on high and he helped her cook. Once breakfast was complete and was sitting on the table, steaming, Inuyasha picked up his plate and headed toward the living room.

"Where do you think you're going?" Kagome demanded, her hands on her hips.

Inuyasha turned around and looked at her. He had a piece of bacon in his mouth and was chewing on it hungrily. "I'm going in here to eat."

"Why can't you eat at the table like a normal human being?" Kagome asked.

"I'm not human." Inuyasha growled. "And I sure as heck ain't normal."

Kagome sighed. "Fine, go eat in there." She picked her plate up and followed after him and the sat on the couch and watched television while they ate.

Impetuously, the phone on the table beside of Kagome rung and she answered it with a casual, "Hello?"

"Kagome, it's Sango."

"Oh, hey." Kagome said with a smile. She mouthed to Inuyasha that it was Sango. "What's up?"

"Not much." Sango replied. "Miroku and I just found out about this new nightclub in town and we were wondering if you would come."

Kagome pondered for a while before saying, "Sure, I'll go."

"And," Sango continued. "Miroku wanted me to remind you that Inuyasha had to come as well since he decided to do the dare."

Kagome laughed. "Yeah, I know." She looked over at Inuyasha, who instantly pinned his ears back.

"Well, come by at seven. And wear something…a little, you know…"

"Revealing!" Kagome heard Miroku shout from behind Sango.

"No, you pervert!" Sango yelled. Then to Kagome she said, "Wear something cool or sexy." Then she laughed.

"Sure." Kagome said. "I'll see you then." She hung up the phone and smiled at Inuyasha.

"Oh, Great," he muttered. "Where are we going this time."

"A nightclub." Kagome answered. "And you have to go and you're going to have some fun for a change."

"I don't do fun." Inuyasha hissed lowly.

"Well, tonight, you're going to." Kagome reached up and rubbed one of his dog-ears. "Cheer up. It won't be that bad."

Kagome got up and put their dishes away and Inuyasha stayed on the couch. "That's what you think." He said under his breath. It looked like the rest of his day was planned out for him. And there was nothing her could do to change it.

It was all because of that stupid dare…
