Chapter 6: Team Up

 

“Wow Inuyasha, I never would have figured you for a dancer.” Sango said in awe as the music died down.

 

“I don't see what's so impressive about it.” Koga said jealously.

 

Kari turned slightly pink. “How long have you been spying on us?”

 

Sango looked embarrassed. “Um...twenty minutes.”

 

Inuyasha just `feh'ed and sat down on a pillow.

 

“Those were some impressive moves. I never thought I'd see Inuyasha dirty dancing, though.” Sango complimented with a smile.

 

Kari ducked her head and blushed. Inuyasha smirked inwardly.

 

“You thought that was `impressive'?” Koga asked condescendingly. “I could dance circles around that mutt any day!”

 

“Ha! Dream on flea-bag! You don't hold a candle to me!” Inuyasha growled back.

 

“You wanna bet?!” Koga barked angrily.

 

“I don't have to I know I'll win.” Inuyasha shot back.

 

“In your dreams!” Koga retorted.

 

“Ha! Like you even stand a chance.” Inuyasha sneered.

 

“I'll take you on anytime, anywhere!” Koga growled.

 

“That's a great idea!” Kari beamed.

 

“Huh?” “Wha...” the guys said giving her a confused look.

 

“That is a good idea!” Sango exclaimed catching on.

The guys just gave them blank looks.

 

“You can have a dance off.” Kari explained with a smile.

 

Inuyasha smirked evilly and Koga flashed them a sinister grin. Kari and Sango eyed the warily for a moment.

 

“Um...okay...well I'll go talk to Kagome and see if she'll judge the competition for you...um...bye.” Kari said walking swiftly toward the exit.

 

“Er um...I'll go with you.” Sango said jumping up and all but running out the door.

 

In the Hall-a few minutes later

 

“Is it just me or was that just creepy?” Kari asked with a shudder.

 

“That was more than creepy, it was scary. Did you see the looks on their faces?” Sango asked making both girls shudder at the memory.

 

“They're up to something.” Kari said ominously.

 

“Definitely.” Sango agreed.

 

“So... I guess the question now is what are gonna do about it.” Kari said pausing to sniff for Kagome. “She's in the garden. Come on.”

 

“Hmm...how can we plan a counter attack when we have no idea what their up to.” Sango asked thoughtfully.

 

“I don't know...I guess we'll just have to wing it.” Kari said as they walked into garden.

 

“Yeah, I guess we will.” Sango sighed.

 

“Hi Kagome. Couldn't sleep?” Kari asked politely.

 

“It seems like I'm not the only one.” Kagome grinned sheepishly.

 

Kari and Sango grinned back. “Well, anyway we just wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in judging a dance off between Koga and Inuyasha.”

 

“Huh? Koga and Inuyasha, dancing?” Kagome asked shocked.

 

“It would appear that they still have a few hidden talents.” Sango added. “We just found out tonight too, if it makes you feel any better.”

 

“Well, I never...sure I'll be the judge.” Kagome agreed still a little shock. “When is it and who are they dancing with?”

 

Sango and Kari looked at each other.

 

“Um...we don't...” Kari started. “Have a clue.” Sango finished.

 

Just then Inuyasha and Koga walked in.

 

“The dance off is in three weeks.” Inuyasha said to Kagome.

 

“And they're our partners.” Koga said pointing to the girls.

 

“Huh?” “Us?” they exclaimed wide eyed.

 

“Yes.” Inuyasha and Koga replied with evil grins. Kagome looked from the two guys to the girls and back thinking. `What's going on with these four?'

 

Three weeks later (day after the dance off)

 

Kari and Sango were chatting happily over breakfast when Inuyasha and Koga came in looking suspiciously cheerful. Sango and Kari stopped talking and watched suspiciously as they set down, Koga beside Sango and Inuyasha beside Kari.

 

“See something you like?” Koga teased.

 

“In yours dreams, pervert!” Sango snapped.

 

“Icky.” was all Kari said before taking a sip of hot chocolate.

 

Inuyasha snickered. “Told you they liked me better!”

 

“WHAT??” Sango and Kari cried jumping up.

 

“Ha!” Koga whooped triumphantly coming to his feet. “See they like me more mutt!”

 

“Whatever.” Inuyasha sprang up.

 

“We don't like either of you!” The girls cried in unison, blushing furiously.

 

Inuyasha let his ears curl and gave Kari the `kicked puppy' look. “Stop looking at me like that!” she exclaimed.

 

Koga meanwhile was giving Sango a heartbroken look. “Oh no you don't, your faking, I know you are!” Sango said backing away.

 

Inuyasha started walking toward Kari, who in turn started to back up, giving her pleading puppy eyes.

 

Koga advanced steadily on Sango and started whimpering. Sango turned and ran. `This is TOO freaky!' she thought running down the hall with a happy Koga hot on her heels.

 

`Oh no! Now I'm all alone with...him! And I can't get into his mind either! This is SO not good!' Kari thought backing up more. Inuyasha started whining and kept walking toward her. Kari was having a hard time not comforting him though. `Those ears are SO cute!' she thought while trying to will herself not to give in.

 

Inuyasha saw her defenses weakening and asked in a sad and dejected voice. “Don't you like me at all?”

 

`I can't stand it any more! I. Have. To. Pet. Those. Ears!' Without warning she stepped up to Inuyasha and started rubbing his ears. Inuyasha lay his head on her shoulder, wrapped his arms around her waist and smirked. `Knew she couldn't resist the ears.' He thought as he began to purr. `Now she can't say no to me.'

 

“You are SO evil.” she muttered scratching the base of his ear.

 

“But you accepted.” he pointed out with a smirk.

 

 

`Stupid mating rituals! I can't believe I'm petting him! Kari you baka! You should have known that he was courting you! And now he knows you like him so you just accepted him!' She berated herself. `Now I have to mate the baka.'

 

“Oh well, at least I don't have to mate that stupid cat now.” she said out loud.

 

Inuyasha roused himself. “What cat?”

 

Kari made a face. “Ganu.”

 

Inuyasha snorted then said. “Hold still.”

 

“Why?”

 

“So I can give my mark.”

 

“Right now?”

 

“No time like the present. Don't move.”

 

“Fine...just hurry up and do it...OW!” she cried.

 

Inuyasha snorted and licked the wound clean.

 

“That hurt!” she huffed crossing her arms.

 

“I told you not to move.” he replied mildly pulling her to him.

 

“Yeah, well, you didn't tell me you we gonna bite me as hard as you could!” she protested gently rubbing the sore.

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “I barely touched you.”

 

“Whatever.” she muttered reaching up and yanking on an ear. “You guys planned this didn't you?”

Inuyasha simply smirked.

 

“So that's why you guys tied at the dance off!” Kari exclaimed. “You...evil, conniving...house pet!”

 

“That's the best you could come up with?” Inuyasha smirked.

 

“Ooh. Be quiet! I'm not talking to you anymore!” she sulked.

 

“Fine.” he said scooping her up. “Hey! Put me down!” She protested.

 

“Thought you weren't talking to me.” he taunted.

 

“Why you...!” she growled then huffed and fell silent. `MEN!' she thought.

 

Inuyasha smirked to himself as he carried his prize to his room. `I wonder how Koga's doing.' he thought absently noting that his soon-to-be mate had fallen asleep. `Must have been the dancing.' he thought. `Keeping the girls up all night dancing to weaken their resistance wasn't a bad idea...maybe that wolf's not as stupid as he looks.'
