Disclaimer: Hi everyone. This is my first story so I kind of suck. Constructive criticism: good, killing my hopes and dreams: bad. So, um... I don't own the Inuyasha cast, they belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I do own my characters Kitsuro and Ryuho.
Chapter 1: Everything and a Bag of Chips
"Mom! Hurry up! Im about to invite the guests!" Kagome called from the middle of the staircase. She held a box of Christmas ornaments in one hand and a wreath in the other. She ran down the rest of the stairs and threw the box on the ground next to an enormous pine tree. Kagome threw the wreath up towards a waiting hook, but it missed by an inch and came plummeting down on her head.
"Would you like some help with that?" Inuyasha asked, nearly laughing himself to death over on the couch.
"Yes if you aren't too busy! Get your butt over here and help me out!" Kagome yelled at him.
Inuyasha stood up and grabbed the wreath from Kagome. In one leap he lashed the wreath on the hook and landed with a soft plop on the floor. Kagome hurriedly ran around the tree with garland and then with colored lights.
"What are you doing to the tree?" Inuyasha asked with his head cocked to the side (A/N: My friend does this same look to piss me off)
"I told you; Every Christmas all of the houses get a tree which they put lights and ornaments on." She explained.
"Oh. And who are you inviting to the party?" He asked cautiously.
"Just the usual. Miroku, Sango, Shippo...Koga..." She said the last name very quietly.
"WHAT? Why are you inviting that mangy wolf!" He practically screamed.
"Why are you so jealous of Koga? What did he do to you!" Kagome screamed back.
Inuyasha turned around and jumped on the couch with his arms crossed like a moping child. Sometimes he can be so immature... Kagome thought to herself as she resumed putting ornaments on the tree.In a few moments, she strung the last of the ornaments on the tree and placed the glass star on top. She then motioned for Inuyasha to follow her, and led him down the hallway into a small room.
Inside the room was a huge machine and a metal ring with purple swirling gasses inside. Kagome pressed four buttons on the machine and the gasses quickened their pace. Kagome walked into the gasses and in a few moments, came back out with Miroku, Shippo, Sango and Koga following her.
They all looked around curiously.
"Hi everyone. Welcome to my house. If you want I'll show you around." Kagome said to her new guests as she showed them out of the small room.
They all entered the living room with the four guests still wide-eyed. "Ok. Now let me explain why you are all here and how I brought you through time." She said.
After a long heated discussion about sleep-overs and mechanical engineering involving applesauce, Kagome and her guests were at a mutual understanding.
"Well, now that the introductions are over, I think we should all play a game." Sango suggested.
"Let's see... How about we play a game I read about in my history textbook." Kagome said.
Everyone agreed to play, so they all sat in a circle on the floor.
"The game is called Dare or Dive. It's similar to Truth or dare. First, everyone decides what the Dive should be. The dive is the alternate option to a dare. The first person goes and dares someone. If they accept they have to do the dare, or they could take the dive if they don't like the dare. Let me give you an example. Inuyasha, the dive is that you have to jump up and down ten times. The dare is that you have to announce your undying love for Sesshomaru at the top of your lungs." Inuyasha started twitching, and then stood up and jumped ten times.
"See?" Kagome asked everyone else , who nodded in agreement.
"Now what is the dive going to be?" Everyone pondered over this for a couple minutes.
"Maybe it should be that you have to tell everyone who you like." Miroku suggested. Everyone else agreed to that and started playing. Since no one would take the dive, by the end of the first round Inuyasha was covered in caramel, Miroku resembled a chicken covered in feathers and glue, Sango was trying to balance her boomerang on her head, Kagome was singing the ABC's over and over again, and Shippo was resisting a large bowl of lollipops laying out in front of him.
It was Inuyasha's turn. "Kagome! I dare you to stop singing before my head pops!" He screamed over her voice. She immediately stopped singing and glared at him. Then she stomped down the hall. Kagome entered the small room and pressed a button on the machine, which started to hum quietly. When she came back to the circle, she was followed by none other than the Lord of the Western Lands himself, Sesshomaru; who was in turn being followed by Jaken.
Inuyasha was immediately on his feet- "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"-and of course, screaming at Kagome.
Kagome quietly sat down and looked up thoughtfully at Inuyasha. "Revenge." she said simply.
"Have we been reduced to the peanut gallery once again Sango?" Miroku asked.
"Yes I think we have Miroku." She replied.
"You know I haven't had one line yet!" Shippo angrily yelled at both of them.
"Um... Maybe we should play a different game before I have to stop that mutt from ripping off Kagome's head..." Koga suggested quietly. They all nodded and proceeded to quiet down Inuyasha.
Five minutes later...
"What! I don't wanna play Cops and Robbers! That is the lamest game I've ever heard of!" Koga steamed as he stomped into the kitchen.
"Wait... what's Cops and Robbers?" He then asked, rejoining the group.
"You'll see..." Kagome answered.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru and Jaken was watching all of this with no expression whatsoever.
"Um... can I go back to the Feudal Era now?" Sesshomaru asked.
"No. I might need you again if Inuyasha ticks me off." Kagome answered flatly.
"Figures..." Inuyasha groaned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright. Does everyone know the rules?" Kagome asked her guests as she led them outside. It was pitch-black out now, and Kagome wondered if they would be able to see anything.
Everyone nodded. She climbed onto a log and said "Ready, Set, GO!" They all ran off in different directions.
"Whew, hope I lost them..." Inuyasha whispered to himself.
"Not really." Kagome said jumping out from behind a rock.
"Don't do that! Wench!" Inuyasha yelled. The ground shook a little under him. "SIT!" Kagome yelled back. She waited for him to stand up and yell at her, but nothing happened. "Inuyasha?" she said looking into the darkness. The ground gave way under her, and she screamed as she was absorbed into the ground.
A little ways away Miroku and Sango had met up. "I forget how to play this game already..." Said Shippo sadly as he trotted over to the two. "Now that you mention it, I don't exactly remember
how-" but Miroku was cut off as the soil once again parted and they fell into a bottomless chasm.
"My Lord!" Jaken yelped as his master disappeared once again. Jaken ran around a couple times and finally ran into Sesshomaru. His lord was looking towards the black sky above them. A shrill laugh emanated from the black miasma as it writhed. It merged and formed a pale face.
"Naraku!" Jaken yelled to the face. "How dare you disgrace my lord with your presence!"
"Now that Inuyasha and the priestess are trapped, I can claim this era as my own. Will you try to stop me Sesshomaru?"
"I don't care about this era. Do what you wish." Sesshomaru said flatly.

So? How was it? Um... R&R I guess...
