A/N: This is based off the movie 'Would You Rather' which is based off the game that is suppose to be innocent and fun. But this story isn't so HA! If you like a movie that's not really scary but kinda fucked up in a good way than you should really watch that movie. ;P
I don't own Inuyasha or the movie rights to 'Would You Rather', but it would be nice if I did.
Chapter 1: I Would Rather It Be Me Than You
"Souta! Dinner!" A dark haired woman around the age of twenty-two yelled from the kitchen table; setting a bowl of salad down before taking her seat. She smoothed out her light and dark blue striped pajama pants before pushing the long sleeves of her white shirt up a little from her wrists.
She could hear her brother's pounding foot falls as he descended the staircase of their two story home.
"I heard you the first time you know. Just because I'm fucked up doesn't mean I'm deaf." A teenager around seventeen said as he entered the kitchen. He wore a black long sleeve v-neck shirt with black dark washed jeans, and a wool gray beanie on his head.
The woman released a small gasp at her brothers comment as her gray-blue eyes fell on him, narrowing slightly. "I told you about saying that! You're not fucked up and watch your language." She said placing her arms on the table.
Souta snorted. "You cursed too Kagome, and at least I can show some humor in my situation. After all, how does that saying go? Laughing can even scare Death away? I don't know. I just know that when your going to die laughter's good for you." He told his sister as he reached out for a chicken leg that sat on a green plate. Brown eyes shinning with hunger.
The woman, Kagome, slapped his hand away from the plate, making the boy huff. "What's with the attitude today? And your not going to die. How many times do I have to tell you that! I promise we'll find a donor and a way to pay for the transplant. Just have hope. Now bow your head." Intertwining her fingers, Kagome placed her forehead on her fingers and closed her eyes as she heard her brother scuff.
"You said to have hope for five days when the police came to the front door telling us Mom and Dad died in a car crash last year, and how did that work out? We went to their funeral where you had a nervous breakdown. Not like we had any kind of family to be there anyway to see it. Hope is for idiots who can't see the truth. Nothing more." The young teenager said.
"Please Souta, don't start. I've had a long day. Lets just give our blessings, eat, and go to bed." Kagome said as pain shone brightly in her eyes, but she didn't dare lift her head for her brother to see it.
"You've made us pray every night at dinner since the accident, and then at every meal since the doctor found out what was wrong with me, and for what?! It won't bring our parents back and it won't fix me either Kagome! I have cancer Kagome. Cancer in my bones. Weather you like it or not I'm going to die sooner or later and it would be better for both of us when you realize that."
Souta could hear the sob his sister was taking to hold back as she raised her head to look at him with tears brimming her eyes. "Please Souta, stop. I'm doing the best I can on my own. I left my home in New York to come here and be with you. I have no job offers so I'm forced to take loans to feed us. I'm selling what I can to pay bills I still can't afford, and to top it off our childhood home is being sold too just to pay half the medical bills that are sitting by the front door! What do you want from me?" She yelled, tearing falling freely from her eyes as she released her pent up emotions in one hard blow.
Closing his eyes, Souta spoke in a low whisper. "I never knew I was such a burden on you Sis." He stood, not even looking at the sobbing woman in front of him.
"Souta I didn't-"
"I'm not really hungry anymore." He proposed as he walked back out the kitchen and up the stairs.
Kagome flinched as her brother slammed his bedroom door shut with a loud bang. She closed her eyes before she spoke in a quiet whisper. "Why did all this have to happen to us To me?"
She could hear the loud blaring of Souta's rock music through the ceiling and as she shifted against the back of her chair. Thoughts going back to her brother once more. "Mama, Papa? Please watch over Souta. He needs you guys more than me right now."
Leaning forward, Kagome reached over for the salad bowl, but stopped as she heard the house phone ring and sighed.
Getting up from her seat Kagome went over to the phone that sat on the counter and answered it.
"Hello? Higurashi residence."
"Yes, this is Kagome right?" The female voice on the phone said.
"Oh Doctor Kagura! Yeah, it's me." She said, hoping Souta's doctor had news about donor.
"I hope it's not an inconvenient time for you, but I had something that I need to discuss with you in my office tomorrow. There is also some one I would like you to meet. Would nine o'clock be an okay time for you?"
Shifting slightly Kagome spoke. "Um, sure. That will be okay. Um, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"That topic will be discussed when you get here. Goodnight Miss Higurashi."
Kagome heard the other line go dead and frowned as she hung up the phone. "Well goodnight to you too." She said. Sitting down at the table once more to pick at the now cold dinner in the dim light of her kitchen.
A/N: Okay so you probably won't see this story getting updated really in the next two or three weeks, or until I finish Soberness of the Dawn. This is my new story to replace that, and this one WILL be more crazy than that one. ;) Please review and tell me if you think I should keep going with this or get off my ass and finish the other stories I got instead. Lol. Criticism is ALWAYS welcome though and maybe if I get enough feed back I'll post the next chapter :)
