I'm going to be completely honest in my review, and I hope you take it for the constructive criticism that it is.
First, the idea of truth or dare is an interesting one - here's this drabble series that I think will go into Kagome's reluctant horror (like you mention in the first chapter) at the prospect of having to seduce Sesshoumaru, her plans on how to do so, gathering the courage to do so, and then the resultant reaction from Sesshoumaru (which honestly, judging by his character, would not be highly receptive unless you had some character development leading to the revelation that he doesn't hate humans as much as he says he does).
That being said, you really didn't explore the full potential that your story had. You introduce the why (Kagome was dared), the what (she has to seduce him), and then you just jumped straight to the dirty deed. There's no development - judging by your first chapter, Kagome is 'horrified' that she'll have to do this, and yet she immediately allows Sesshoumaru to 'mark her' as a mate, and calls him her love. There is no development that would show she has feelings for him prior to this, much less ones strong enough to make such a permanent commitment to him.
As for Sesshoumaru, he is a self-professed 'human hater'. Its what makes the Kagome/Sesshoumaru pairing so tantilizing and often so difficult to accurately and realistically represent. I might have found it more believable if you had developed some kind of revelation on his part that Kagome was at least attractive enough to sleep with, but you jump almost immediately into them going at it. Sesshoumaru is in extreme control of himself always, and yet you've created a Sesshoumaru that goes against his own ideology to not only sleep with a human, but mate one without any development into his feelings on the matter.
Without more writing into the development of potential feelings for each other, the whole plot of Sesshoumaru and Kagome becoming mates because Miroku happened to dare Kagome to seduce him is too far-fetched, and frankly, childish. Like sleeping with a person automatically means they have to get married - it's a concept that most adults don't accept, and one that I think Sesshoumaru would not approve of. And if he did, he certainly wouldn't sleep with the first person to try it on with him - otherwise he'd have a wife every time a woman propositioned him, which I have no doubt is often, haha.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, since this story is nearly two years old, and assume that you've improved since you write this. Either way, I hope you take my suggestions to heart and really immerse yourself into the characters in future stories.

Really cute. Who knew a dare would end up so advantagious? It was nice to see it set during the Feudial Era as well. I've seen a few set in Modern A/U, so this was refreshing.
