Card Playing Day

"Wait, wait, wait, you want us all to play games where we strip?" Inuyasha asked with a look of disbelief on his face. "Bank, do you realize just how weird that is?"

Bankotsu didn't at all seem like there was anything wrong and answered, "Inu, I don't see where there is a problem. We all have seen each other, on more than one account, under many circumstances. Unless it's cause you're self-conscious about yourself then I guess I see your point or maybe it's cause you're a chicken. I could see that more than the first one actually."

The guys snickered as Inuyasha yelled, "I'm no chicken!" It was clear that that was all the male heard from his friend.

"Let's play for shits and giggles and pretend the new year isn't coming up soon."

Inuyasha sighed in defeat as Bankotsu grinned. He handed out the cards to everyone; they were starting with Go Fish. He had planned for this and purposely wore extra clothes and from what he could see, everyone else did too except for Inuyasha. Perhaps there was a reason he had been protesting…

A couple of socks and gloves were thrown about, away from where they were sitting. The game went by fast so they didn't lose a lot of clothing. Then they played War.

Kouga lost his scarf, another sock, and one leg warmer. He and Sesshomaru, who was wearing all his clothes, minus his socks, were the ones that still have a ton of clothes on. Naraku lost a fare share of clothes; his jacket, all his wristbands, and gloves, and his pants.

Inuyasha was sitting in his boxers already.

Miroku lost his shirt and undershirt, his belt, and pants. He still had his under armor since it was freezing outside so he wasn't that close to losing but he was getting there. Bankotsu removed his shirt, pants, socks, and his scarf.

And this is how Kagome found them all.

She made her way over to her boyfriend and leaned on his head. "What'cha doing and can I join in?" she questioned, making the boys pause in their game to considering the idea.

They all looked to Sesshomaru to see what his response was since it was by now that they knew that the guy had jealous issues. "You think you handle strip card games?"

"I can handle better than Inuyasha," she countered as Inuyasha glared at her as the others chuckled at that.

"You'll lose," he said.

"We'll see about that."

Kagome couldn't help but smirk at what was going on in front of her. All six guys had pillows covering their crotches.

She had pitied them, especially when she said that she didn't want to see anything regarding her brothers. Of course the others had protested and Sesshomaru was clearly pissed at her having to see anyone but him, so she said that they could cover with a pillow. She'd burn them later anyways…

"So, what was this about me losing?"

They were no longer grinning and now trying their damnedest to not look at the woman that was sitting there with all of her clothes when she first came to them. How was this fair?

It was at this that they all realized at the same time that it was probably her dumb luck that had them all in this situation. Anything to do with stripping now had bad idea written all over it… Bankotsu regretted ever saying anything at all.

Sesshomaru glared at her as she innocently waved at him. His glare then was aimed at Bankotsu. "This is all your fault."

"Yeah… don't remind me."

"Oh I will never let you live this down."

The door to the house opened up and Souta froze. He immediately took notice of the guys, all equally naked, and then the smirk on his sister's face. Everyone looked up to him and saw the deduction of how this came to be on his face as he inquired, "Dare I ask what holiday you came up with today sis?"

"Well I don't think any of the guys follow my holidays as much as I'd like but now that I think about, it is Card Playing Day so maybe one of you did look up the date?" she queried with a tilt of her head.

"You already said that none of the guys follow your holidays so technically you answered your own question," Souta pointed out.

"I just wanted to play card games that didn't include poker since Sess always fucking wins," Bankotsu said, gritting his teeth as Sesshomaru pointedly looked away. He couldn't exactly deny that since it was the truth.

"Perhaps you should get better at the game than you wouldn't have him winning as often." He glared at his sister. Kagome merely smiled back at him.

Souta shook his head at this. "So what card game made them all lose?"

"Notice my hand? Look at how red it is." Kagome motioned to said hand that she was talking about. Souta's eyes wandered, traveling over to her hand and saw that her right hand was rather red, like she said.

It was clear that he was trying to wreck his brain for the right card game but was coming up with a whole lot of nothing. Then he really thought about it. "Oh, Slap Jack?"

"Yes!"

"Damn it sis! No wonder you were quick to request that game!" Miroku whined as his brother groaned as if remembering something. At the confused looks he was getting, he explained, "That's the one card game that Kagome's actually super good at. She's really good with her hands."

There was silence until he realized what he said, then he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows. Kagome shifted her eyes once she noticed her boyfriend's stare on her.

Sesshomaru simpered, "Really now? Perhaps you'd like to use those hands for something else?" Suddenly Kagome didn't have the upper hand as her face flushed harshly at his implications.

"EW!" Souta gagged. "I really didn't need to hear that! Ugh!" Inuyasha felt somewhat nauseous that that was said and wasted no time in standing up. "Holy shit! My eyes!"

"Dude! Cover up!" Kouga yelled as Inuyasha yelped. It was almost like he had forgotten he was naked. Inuyasha covered himself up with his hands, while looking for his clothes.

"It's not like it's not something you haven't seen Kouga," Naraku said. Kouga gaped at him. "I mean, you have one too and it's probably smaller than his."

"You know it's not, you've seen it."

Souta wished he never walked into the house. He should've gone anywhere but home. "I'm just going to go wash out my brain and blind myself with acid," he muttered, walking as far away as possible.

"We all know that out of all of us, the ones that have decent cojones are you and Sess but I'm totally a close third!" Kouga felt the need to be defensive. Miroku snorted.

"You are nowhere near a third; that's Bankotsu and don't try to deny that."

He spluttered and glared at his friend. Naraku simply smirked wickedly as if that was exactly the reaction he was looking for. "Naraku, stop riling up Kouga," Sesshomaru chided.

"If anything, please take your sexual tension you two have going on, into another room. Maybe playing strip Slap Jack was a bad idea," Kagome commented before both the males in question stared at her like she had lost her mind. "Or is it Kouga and Inuyasha that have that sexual tension? I really don't know anymore."

Inuyasha stumbled at hearing that and went face first to the ground. He had been trying to get his pants on at that moment so now he was ass up with his face smashed on the floor. All eyes went to him and before anyone knew anything, everyone was laughing at how ridiculous this turned out.
