"Back to you my dearest! Truth, dare, double dare, or promise to repeat?" Miroku beamed. His beam froze, Kagome's dare will only work if she picks the right one though. He thought watching Sango's wary expression. And I don't think she's gonna make this one very easy on me.



There is no way I'm going to pick dare. He's just going to do something to get back at me for having Rin slap him.  Though I'm surprised that Sesshomaru actually had Rin do it to be honest.  Sango glanced at the stoic demon.  Not even a trickle of amusement in his eyes.  Maybe he did it to help me out? I have my doubts but why else would he help me out? Sango pondered.



Sesshomaru sat on quietly observing the humans. Pathetic humans.  



"I know I'm going to regret this but promise to repeat you stupid monk," Sango grumbled.  



Miroku sighed, wrong answer. I'm sorry, Kagome.  He immediately perked up, well since I can't fulfill my dare the least I can do is repay my future bride for this lovely red handprint on my face.  He smiled brightly, "Ah my dearest Sango, what a wonderful choice you made my dear."  He sat in front of her grabbing her hands. "I was at first deeply disappointed in your decision, but now I couldn't be more thrilled!" He let out a hearty laugh.  The rest of the group sweatdropped watching the scene unfold with the exception of Kouga who was at the moment poking his teeth entralled with the fact that all of his teeth were now blunt.  How do they eat meat? Kouga pondered.  



"Now repeat after me my pet," Miroku internally giggled as she glowered, "I, Sango..."



Sango ground her teeth together, "I, Sango..."




"Take this incredibly strong and handsome man..." Miroku purred.



Sango's fists clenched, "Take this incredibly strong and handsome man..." she barely managed to choke out.  



"To be my incredibly fair and loving master of looooooooove," he drawled out.



"YOU PERVERT!!! I AM NOT SAYING THAT!" Sango screamed.  Miroku barely managed to keep a straight face.  "Ah Sango now you have to start over.  It's not so hard just say, 'I, Sango, take this incredibly strong and handsome man to be my incredibly fair and loving master of love," Miroku smiled innnocently.


Sango turned to Kagome, "I pick truth."  Kagome shrugged empathetically at Sango.  "Sorry Sango but you did pick promise to repeat. So...ya know...you have to promise to repeat. You can't switch."  


Sango turned to Miroku.  "I, Sango, take this incredibly strong and handsome man to be my incredibly fair and loving master of love," she droned.  While her tone was bland the fiery flames of Hell were burning in her eyes.  Miroku rolled his eyes, oh please I could have done so much worse.  Then again, he glanced at her, that was only a small taste of what is to come my dear.  After all, the night had just begun!  A small acorn was chucked at Miroku's head.  He rubbed it, "Rule breaker! Foul play is a foot!" Miroku bemoaned.


"You made me call you master of love you pervert! You are no such thing!" Sango screamed.



"You know its true and you made a little girl slap me in the face. We are hardly even," Miroku argued back lightly



The pair continued to argue as Kouga turned to Kagome with wide eyes asking a question plaguing him since tragically turning human. "How can  you trust that mutt to protect you, Kagome?"  



Kagome floundered at the question. "What brought that on Kouga?" Kagome looked at him cautiously.  His emotions seemed to fluctuate at an incredible pace.  He seems sincere, Kagome thought.  



Kouga sighed, "He becomes...," Kouga paused gesturing to himself, "this," he spat out with distaste, "every month.  I can feel it in my bones.  There is no strength.  These arms are flabby and weak.  These legs can't outrun a slug demon.  So how can you trust him to protect you knowing that?" His eyes plead with her to understand while he was scheming inside.  My woman is sensitive but smart.  I need to warn her of this mutt's weaknesses. That way she will know that she is my mate and that mutt can't take care of her.  This stupid "curse" may work  in my favor.  Thanks to that no good scheming slayer.  She's second on my shit list.  The mutt's first.  Just you two wait until I'm human again.   



As Kagome struggled to answer, Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed slightly.  No one noticed.  




Kagome thought about his answer.  Why do I trust Inuyasha? I would never question him with my physical safety. But do I trust him with my heart? If I were to be completely honest...



"Honestly Kouga, I don't trust Inuyasha," Kagome stated sadly.  All eyes turned to Kagome, even Sesshomaru mustered a slight side glance in her direction.  



Kouga's eyes widened in triumph watching Inuyasha's devasted face.  Take that mutt.  



Kagome's eyes narrowed, "But I would never doubt my safety with him.  I know he would do anything possible to keep us all safe and provided for no matter the cost." Her speech slowed near the end looking out at a splashing happy Rin.  



You love him, her heart whispered.  You love him, but you can't trust him.  Just let it go Kagome, let him go, her mind whispered.  Kagome bit her lip trembling.  The realization settling in, I never trusted him. I always thought I had.  



Miroku watched Kagome's crestfallen face, Oh Kagome...such pain.  


Inuyasha barely restrained a whine; his eyes however betrayed him flashing in pain.  Yea she'll trust me to pull her away from an ugly ass demon, but I can't blame her for having trust issues.  He rubbed his chest, when is this pain gonna fade.  He felt a lump against his chest eyes widening.  His eyes smiled warmly, I have an idea.  



He scooted over to Kagome slowly not wanting to startle her.  He sat in front of her making sure to stop just short of touching her.  Her face tilted downwards staring at her lap.  He could smell the tears gathering in her eyes.  He reached inside his haori pullingo out the item inside.  



It's time to let him go...


I love him...


But is it worth it?...


She felt something cool and light placed into her lap.  Her eyes widened bringing the object into her hands.  Her heart clenching.



*Flashback*


"Isn't it beautiful here, Inuyasha?"  Kagome twirling around to face him.  


Inuyasha's eyes widened, "Hey wench be careful! Ya wanna kill yourself or something? I'm not always gonna be able to catch your clumsy self ya know!" He continued to rant and lie.  I'll always catch that stupid girl and she knows it.  Stupid freakin beautiful wench.  He glowered at her as she sat down on the edge of the cliff.   He watched her let out a delicate sigh of contentment.  He glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes.  The fading sun setting off the highlights in her hair.  The orange and red sky giving her a warm, friendly glow.  She's like a damn siren. She just keeps pulling me in! Must resist, must resist the force! He shut his eyes tightly.  "Keh, the sun looks the same here as it does back at the village."


Kagome looked at him patiently reaching for a flat rock before scaling her way down he cliff.  Inuyasha kept his eyes closed while his ears twitched at her every move.  "Don't hurt yourself.  Just cause that bastard is dead doesn't mean we can afford an injury right now.  And this is the last break we are taking. The stupid salt smell is killin me!" He sneezed emphasizing his point.  He stifled a small grin hearing her giggle.  "Lighten up dog boy.  I just want to skip rocks for a bit."



He finally opened his eyes watching her land at the bottom of the cliff.  She wiggled her toes in the sand. He rolled his eyes, does she have to be so cute?  


"Keh, whatever," he grumbled before taking a large leap landing on the ground next to Kagome.  He saw throw the rocks into the ocean watching the rock effortlessly skip across the water.  She continued looking for rocks to throw until she stopped.  Her face light up, "Inuyasha look! Isn't it pretty!" Kagome smiled gently stroking her new treasure.  "They are so rare! I wonder how this ended up here?" She trailed off not noticing the large wave coming ever closer.  Inuyasha's eyes widened, "Kagome watch out! There's..." The wave crashed on them forcing Kagome's body to fall on top of Inuyasha's.  They both fell backwards landing on the sand with a soft thud.  Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist holding her close to his body.  He opened his eyes blushing feeling her body plastered against his.  He bit his lip throwing his head back, what did I do in my previous life to deserve such torture! There is only so much a guy can take.  Inuyasha brought his hand to the back of her head, "Hey your ok, right?" He watched her nodd her head against his chest.  She was quiet for a moment or two until he heard a quiet, "I dropped my new treasure Inuyasha."  


He opened his mouth to yell at her until he saw her face.  He blew at his bangs, "It's not like you need it wench.  It was nothing special."


She turned her head away, "Yeah, I know but still...it was one of a kind.  It was unique and special." She closed her eyes, he doesn't understand.  



She stood up slowly with a fake smile on her face. "Let's head out.  We have to find a good place to make camp." She walked ahead leaving a sullen Inuyasha behind.  I understand, Kagome.  He turned back to he shore searching. I really do.  



*Flashback ended*


"Your not Kikyo, I understand that Kagome.  I honestly wouldn't want you any other way," Inuyasha whispered.  "I searched all night for that stupid pearl, Kagome. So you better not lose it this time."  He leaned forward placing a light, lingering kiss on her cheek.  He smiled warmly returning to his spot.  



I love him...


Is it worth it?...


She looked at Inuyasha thinking of all the times he had left her, compared her to her incarnation.



Keh, of course its Kikyo…always has been always will be!” Inuyasha yelled back



Is
he worth it?...



"You dare to question my feelings for Kikyo?"



She looked at her small pearl.  I remember that night. He was gone the whole night but I just thought he was mad at me or something.  



"Alright Inuyasha, truth, dare, double dare, or promise to repeat?" Sango asked.  Inuyasha glanced over at her smiling gently.  She finally noticing that she had been tenderly stroking her cheek, he kissed me.  Kouga huffed crossing his arms.  



"Truth, Sango," Inuyasha said looking into Kagome's eyes. Kagome's face warmed up


Is he worth it?



Kagome gave a small smile looking at her pearl.  



I do believe he is, she thought.  





End of this chapter! Please review so I know how I'm doing! It really does help!  I got Sango's question all up in my head.  I had to add a cute moment between Kagome and Inuyasha. He's gotta win her back at some point.  He's not there yet but you got to start somewhere!

Also I drew a picture of Inuyasha and Kagome based off of this fanfic from chapter 8. It's on deviant art. I will post the link below. So check it out! :)
