Part one: There's just something about Kagome

Another day, another dollar, as the saying goes.

Kagome sighed as they walked along the dusty road, wishing, for once, that it would just rain already. It had been a long, dry summer, and there was no end in sight - and on top of that, she had Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru to deal with.

Some people have all the luck, she thought, sarcasm rolling through her mind. Why did I have to get stuck with representatives of the Montagues and Capulets? She giggled a bit, then, at that thought... those two, part of a romantic tragedy? Not happening... But still... the thought was funny. And it did seem to describe fairly well the level of disgust between the two.

Sesshoumaru paced along, once again, behind her, wondering what she found so amusing. She'd spent most of the day silent, simply moving ahead, the only times she'd spoken was to sit the hanyou so that everyone could stop for a bit of rest about midday, and to sit him again when his complaining and whining had gotten out of hand.

I wonder... there is another of her 'games' I remember overhearing her teach the group, she called it 'truth or dare'... I can turn such a game to my purposes, I am sure, with a minimum of thought. He drifted off into his musings, still highly aware of his surroundings... and the hatred of the baka walking along behind him. He found the thought amusing.

You will hate me much more before this is all over, Inuyasha - because I will take from you the one thing you can't seem to function without...

Kagome.

Not because it will hurt you, but because I want her... the pain it will cause you is just a bonus - because you do not deserve her. You have betrayed her trust far more than she knows, and now you have lost her.

She is mine.

---cCc---

Inuyasha stared at his brother's back, hard. The bastard was up to something again... but what?

It was really beginning to creep him out. He could see quite clearly that the frozen wasteland of a daiyoukai was attracted to Kagome, but it couldn't be serious. He hated humans too much... it had to be just a sexual thing. He was looking for a good lay, that's all it could be.

And damned if he was going to let that bastard touch her - especially for something like that. It just wasn't right to think of Kagome and anyone in such a manner, and certainly not that arrogant prick.

It was time to find out for sure just what was going on in that pricks mind.

He was just getting ready to move forward so that he could corner his brother, when he felt a hand reach over and grab him, and he looked back in surprise when he realized that it was Miroku.

"Come, Inuyasha, walk with Sango and I for a few minutes. We have a need to speak with you."

He growled at him but obligingly slowed his pace to walk with them.

"Well, what it is, spit it out already."

"You should not attempt to get between Sesshoumaru and Kagome, Inuyasha, or you will get hurt. He made his intent known to us last night... he sees Kagome as his - and told us so, in front of her." Miroku grimaced as Inuyasha's aura flared in rage.

Sango nodded. "Stay away from it, Inuyasha. Besides, you have Kikyou, and everyone knows how you feel about her - so what Kagome does with her life is her business, not yours."

Inuyasha stopped dead, causing the other two to stop and watch him warily as his aura spiked and his eyes rimmed in red.

"I will never allow Sesshoumaru to have Kagome. Never," he hissed viciously.

Sesshoumaru, who had been paying very close attention to the discussion going on behind him turned at that, and with a dark, dangerous look, said, "You have no say in the matter, half-breed. Kagome does not belong to you, she belongs to this Sesshoumaru, and you would do well to practice the wisdom that your friends have attempted to impart to you. Stay away from her and do not attempt to interfere between us."

Inuyasha snarled, muscles tautening, ready to leap at his elder brother, when a "Sit, boy," came flying from the road ahead where Kagome was to be found.

Stomping back to the group, she stared first at Sesshoumaru, and then pinned Inuyasha with a glare that the master of hell himself would have been proud of.

"Listen, you jerk, you have Kikyou. You don't have me. I will do what I want, and I will become involved with whoever I want - you don't have any right to object." She flashed a quick glance at the daiyoukai, then looked back at the hanyou that was still plastered to the ground.

"If I want to be with Sesshoumaru, then I will be. And if you don't like it, then you can kiss my ass!"

At that, Sesshoumaru let out a low growl, and reached out and pulled her close to him, careful not to injure her on his armor.

"I warned you, miko - if you want him to remain alive, you will not allow him to touch any part of you. I will not share you with anyone, and certainly not him. Remember my words, Kagome - you are mine."

Shippo, who'd scampered away from Kagome when she'd come storming back towards the group and perched himself on Miroku's shoulder, along with the rest of the Inutachi, and Jaken and Rin, stared at the youkai Lord with interest. That was twice he'd claimed her in front of them. Their stares were drawn away when the cursing Inuyasha leapt from his hole and started screaming at the two who were staring each other down and ignoring everyone else.

"Oi! Fuck that, Ka-go-me! You're my miko and I ain't lettin that bastard have you! End of story, now get the fuck away from him."

"Sit boy." Kagome didn't even look away from Sesshoumaru as she said that - he'd entrapped her eyes with his... and he was purring at her. It was a deadly combination.

Finally, when he felt that she understood his orders and would obey, Sesshoumaru withdrew his eyes from hers and turned them on the hanyou in his hole.

"This Sesshoumaru will not say it again, half-breed. The miko belongs to me. Next time you attempt to challenge me, you will be attacked... no words will be spoken."

Turning, he took his miko's arm, and began to walk off in the direction they'd originally been walking in.

The rest of the group soon followed quietly, occupied with looking back and forth between Kagome and the Western Lord.

No one could have predicted that they'd ever be in this spot... watching the enigmatic Lord Sesshoumaru pursue and claim a ningen miko.
It seemed there was just something about Kagome.

---cCc---

Kagome was highly annoyed right at this moment in time. For some reason, the Lord of the West had decided she belonged to him, and was making no bones about it, telling everyone and anyone, in fact.

In some ways, she'd admit, it was nice. It felt very good to be publicly claimed... for someone to be willing to tell the world that they wanted you. Especially after the years of putting up with Inuyasha and always being thrown over for a walking dead woman.

But, on the other hand, she wasn't an object to be possessed. She was a person, and one with a mind of her own, thank you very much, and it worked just fine - she didn't need someone making her decisions for her.

So, bottom line, she needed to come up with a way to get him back... and not just for the possessiveness. There was all that, love 'em and leave 'em crap last night to get him for, too. It was about time to pay him back.

And maybe, she could get out of him just exactly what he was after, too. Because she sure as hell was no ones one night stand or plaything, and she was pretty sure that was what he was after. After all, she was merely ningen, and she was well aware that he didn't care for her race. She couldn't fathom that he would be after her as a mate... it just didn't seem possible.

So, she needed to get him back for his games and his claims, and get him to tell her what he was after - then she could put him in his place for thinking she'd turn whore for him, and move on with her life.

Hm. Games... what game could I use to get him where I want him?

Suddenly, she smirked, as the perfect solution presented itself. Tonight, once dinner was eaten and everyone ready for relaxation... she would get him but good.

Looking up at him from the corner of her eye, she smirked even harder.

It's truth or dare time, Sesshoumaru. It's time for me to strike back.

---cCc---

Later that evening, as they all sat around the campfire, Kagome scooted closer in, and clapped her hands with a wide smile.

"Alright, guys, who's up for a game of truth or dare?"

Sesshoumaru almost choked when she asked that. Perfect! he gloated, she's brought out the very thing I wanted her to.

Kagome looked around with a raised brow as the group came forward and sat down in a circle, even Inuyasha joining in. She was just glad Shippo and little Rin had gone to sleep already. Now all she could hope was that Sesshoumaru would decide to join in.

He did. Standing, he came forward and claimed the spot at her side. He decided to play along as though he didn't know what this game was.

"What is this game you call truth or dare?"

"Well, everyone gets a turn to pick someone and then they ask 'truth or dare', and that person answers whichever they feel comfortable with, the truth or the dare. Once they've chosen, the other person either asks a question of their choice, or comes up with a dare that the person has to complete. Simple."

"I see."

Inuyasha decided this would be a good time to get his asshole brother... since the bastard only wanted a little roll in the hay with his Kagome, he figured he'd just get him to admit that... and then Kagome would never speak to him again. Pleased with his decision, he said, "Oi, Kagome, let's just get to playin' already. Let the fucker figure it out as we go along."

Scooting forward, glaring triumphantly at his brother, he spoke. "I'll go first. So, truth or dare, bastard?"

Sesshoumaru raised a brow. "Truth."

"What are you really after from Kagome, huh? Why are you chasing her? And you can't lie in this game, you have to tell the truth."

Kagome almost choked as the group tittered nervously at that question. What was Inuyasha doing?! That was supposed to be her question!

The youkai Lord just smirked slightly. He knew what his brother and the others all thought he was after, and while this hadn't been the way he'd been intending to make his plans known to his miko, he'd figured that this might get asked, and decided it worked just as well.

"Kagome will be my mate. I will have her as my Lady, at my side for eternity." He tilted his head at his everyone's shocked looks and smirked wider at his brother. "Is that not what you wished to hear, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha scowled, furious. He was lying, he had to be! "I don't believe you, fucker! You just wanna use her and then you'll toss her aside when you're done."

A sudden, deadly look came into the eyes of the daiyoukai then, and he asked softly, with a thread of danger lacing his voice, "You mean, as you did, Inuyasha?" He watched with satisfaction as his brother's face first paled, and then flushed, knowing his point had been made.

Kagome had almost choked when she heard Sesshoumaru's answer to the question. He really wants me for... forever?

Sango decided now would be a good time to jump in, so she scooted forward a bit. "My turn! Uh, let's see... Inuyasha. Truth or dare?"

Inuyasha pulled himself from the staring contest he'd been in with his brother. "Feh. Truth."

"Who really ate that last pack of ramen from Kagome's bag?"

Everyone laughed as the hanyou frowned and blushed, then, with a surly note in his voice, said, "Fine. I did. It wasn't Shippo, it was me. There, happy now?"

Sesshoumaru decided he would wait a turn before going in for the kill on his miko, so to speak, so he pointed at Miroku. "Monk. Truth or dare."

Miroku chuckled nervously, not sure he wanted to know just exactly what 'truth' the daiyoukai would ask him, so he said, "Dare."

"I dare you to keep your hands to yourself for the next two days. No touching of inappropriate body parts on the slayer."

At that, Miroku went pale, and Sango grinned, and called out, "Yes! There really are kami! Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru." The group burst out with laughter at that - even Inuyasha chuckled. The look on Miroku's face was priceless.

"You ask much, Lord Sesshoumaru," he said, a sad, pouty look crossing his face, "but I will abide by it for honor's sake."

"Hn." He turned to look at Kagome. "I believe, miko, that it is your turn."

She grinned evilly. "Why yes, my Lord, I do believe your right. Truth or dare, Sesshoumaru?"

He looked askance at her grin, wondering what she could be up to. For some reason, he was actually a bit nervous at the look on her face.

"Truth."

Kagome's eyes flashed with triumph. "What were you after last night with all of that touching and yet not touching?"

He tossed a quick look at his brother as Inuyasha growled. "It is called seduction, priestess. I will seduce your mind, your heart, and your soul... and then I will seduce your body," he purred, voice once again hot and thick.

Kagome's eyes widened as the rest of the group let out various sounds of shock and surprise. Wow! Wowow! How does he do that? He can make me get all hot and bothered just by talking to me and it's not fair!

A flash of something hot and primal flashed through his gaze, but before he could say anything, Inuyasha popped up with a new question.

"Sango. Truth or dare?" He wanted to go after his brother again, but he still had to get Sango back.

"Umm," she glanced at Miroku, then back at Inuyasha warily. "Truth."

He grinned. "Do you really hate it when the bouzo grabs you?"

She flushed and growled at the hanyou, "Well, umm... sortaIguessmaybe... not," she mumbled.

Miroku slanted a gleeful glance her way as he finally worked out her answer from the mumbles she'd let out. "Ha! I knew it! You do like it when I touch you!"

She fisted her hand and thumped him over the head. "Don't get any funny ideas, monk," she growled out as Kagome giggled.

"Okay, my turn. Kagome, truth or dare?"

"Hmm... truth."

Sango sent her a wicked look, then glanced at Sesshoumaru out of the corner of her eye. "What do you really think of Lord Sesshoumaru?"

Kagome immediately blushed deep red, and Sesshoumaru raised a brow as he stared at her with interest, obviously waiting for her answer. Inuyasha, on the other hand, let out a low growl and glared at her warningly.

"She hates him. Now let's move in."

"Be quiet, half-breed. You are not Kagome, and I believe the question was asked of her." Sesshoumaru hadn't removed his gaze from Kagome, and she glared over at Sango - a silent promise to get her back implicit within the glare. Sango swallowed hard.

"I... well, uh," she squirmed uncomfortably under everyone's interested gazes, "Fine! Ithinkheshotashell, okay?" she lowered her hot face and stared at the ground. I am sooo gonna get you back for this, Sango!

Sesshoumaru grinned internally. So, she is attracted to me. Not like I didn't know that, but it is good that she admits it aloud - it makes it that much more real.

Inuyasha glared at her. "What the fuck, Kagome!" he shouted. "It's Sesshoumaru! How can you be attracted to him?!"

"Just shut up, Inuyasha! At least he's alive, which is more than you can say for your interest!" Kagome yelled, livid with embarrassment.

At that, everyone burst out laughing - even Sesshoumaru let out a few chuckles. He loved his little miko's fighting spirit.

Before his brother could do more than splutter, he spoke. "I believe it is my turn." He was done with any pretense of playing a game with the others, and went straight in for the kill.

"Truth or dare, Kagome?" he asked, voice silky and heated.

She eyed him warily. "Uhh... dare...?" she said, uncertainly. Her eyes narrowed on him as the corners of his lips lifted. He's up to something, the sneaky bastard... but what?

He smirked wickedly at her, and in that moment she knew she was in for it.

"I dare you to bathe with me, Kagome."

Aww hell!

She took in his smug, expectant expression, then a thought crossed her mind, and she smirked inside. Embarrassing as all get out, but if I have to do it... this might just work out. If he's gonna mess with me, I'm gonna make him hurt, too.

The game is on, Sesshoumaru.

She smiled sweetly at him.

"Fine. I accept that dare."
