A Party in the Persent ch. 3 Truth or Dare

Kagome's POV

.......................................

As I see your gaze,

I feel my heart spinning.

My heartbeats become heartbreak,

and I feel like I'm in an endless vortex,

Never to see happiness,

Or at least make my heart content once again.

..............................................

"What?!" We both yelled at the same time. That stupid Cyle...I'll strangle him! I could see Arin contently laughing away, as was Beyou. Houjo-kun seemed to have a disappointed look on his face. I heard a chorus of gasps from my friends. I was blushing, too. Inu-Yasha looks kinda nervous, and Miroku-sama, Sango-chan, and Shippou-chan were all smiling. This is why I hate Truth or Dare...

"No way!" I yelled out, but Arin had different ideas.

"Either do it or do a strip dance..." She laughed as I was in Inu-Yasha's lap as soon as she said it. He was blushing, and I was like.. five shades of red! Everyone was laughing because of our blushing, which only made it worse... " Okay, Kagome ask someone now. It's your turn!"

"Okay,Okay.. Uhh.. Sango-chan.. Truth or dare?"

"...Truth, I guess."

"...Uhh, Do you think you'll marry Miroku-sama in the future?"

"Ha! When he stops being a pervert." She said it sarcastically.

"Does this mean you and I have a chance?" Miroku-sama asked.

Arin then muttered.."He'll stop being a pervert when Hell freezes over."

"Exactly!" said Sango-chan.

Miroku-sama pouted and decided this was a dumb game, so he went to go see if any of the outside girls would bare his child, smiling at the thought.

"Go, Sango!" Arin yelled impaitently. She acted like she knew these people forever, but of course, that's her way.

"Fine! Arin, truth or dare?"

"Dare." Arin stated, without hesitation.

Sango-chan had had enough of this girl yelling at everyone so she decided to torture her a bit. "Okay. Go over there and sit in Cyle's lap for 6 turns." I smiled at this. Ha! My revenge for having to sit in Inu Yasha's lap. Even though it was comfortable...and relaxing!? Oh Kami-sama, why am I thinking like this?! My face is still blood red and Beyou keeps looking towards me and laughing. That jerk! He needs to have someone sit in his lap! Although he'd probaly enjoy it.

"No way!" They both yelled in unison as Cyle went running away from her. " I... Am.. Not... SITTING... In. His.. LAP!!!" Arin cried out, her voice rising to a screech. Inu-Yasha's ears flattened to his head, and I felt his wince. Ha! They'd provoked Arin's wrath.

"But Arin," I said, mocking her, " Either do it or do a strip dance."

"STRIP DANCE!!" she cried out. Everyone gasped and I was in a state of shock. Inu Yasha jumped when she said it, too. He tried getting up to put Shippou-chan outside, but Arin pushed him down. "Hey! Shippou can't watch this! Hell, I can't watch this!" Inu-Yasha cried out.

"Kagome has to be with you so..." She was cut off as Inu growled and lunged at her, almost making me fall off his lap. As he was inches from killing Arin, I yelled out, "Osuwari!!!" Then, I realized my mistake, and screamed, as I was crushed between the carpet and him. He cried out, shortly, as he was pulled on top of me. I'm a major baka... Everyone errupted with laughter as I waited for the rosary to let him up.

"You stupid wench!" Inu cried out as he got off me, but I was pushed onto him again by Arin.

"The game's not over yet," she said, "but, as I was saying, you can carry her bridal style if ya wanna move around."

He was up and towards the door with me and Shippou-chan. "But I wanna find out what a strip dance is!" Shippou-chan cried out.

Miroku-sama appeared out of no where. "Strip Dance? Where? When? Who?"

"Hai, inside, now, Arin." I replied. He was gone in a flash, sitting, and drooling as he awaited her show to start. Sango-chan stood beside us, leaning against the wall, sending death glares towards Arin and Miroku-sama.

"You have some very weird friends here." I glanced up to find Houjo-kun at my side. "Higurashi..I couldn't watch that! It's just sick!"

"Teme..Who are you!?" said Inu in a low growl. I had expected him to jump on Houjo-kun when he first saw him..

"I'm Hojo." he said politely, his usual smile still on his face, even though I was in Inu's arms. Inu-Yasha growled more and I glared up at him. He must still be mad at getting shoved out of the way when Houjo-kun first showed up here. "How are you feeling, Higurashi? Are you sure you should be here after that bypass sugery?"

I sweat-dropped yet again, twitching. I guess he got shoved by my friends before he could ask about it. Baka Ji-chan.. Can't he think of a young-person's disease?! "H-hai.. I'm fine, Houjo-kun." Inu growled louder and was about to lunge for Houjo-kun, when male 'woo-hoos' came from the room. Miroku-sama was heard screaming out "Will you now bear my child, please?!" Sango-chan splittered off a piece of the doorframe as she clenched it so hard, her right eye twitching uncontrollably.

Five minutes later, Arin came out fully dressed and slightly red. I was in Inu's lap as he sat down by the door frame, relaxing back against his chest, and we saw that Miroku-sama had rounded up some girls to have a wet t-shirt contest. It seems he did it just before Arin's 'performance'.

"Okay, minna, game's back on." She said in a meeker voice as she refused to meet anyone's gaze. It seems that she's ashamed. It was her own fault...Oh well. We walked back in, while I was carried, since the game was still on. You know. I could get used to this. Arin turned to Inu Yasha suddenly."Truth or dare?" she said it almost tiredly.

"Dare." Why wasn't I surpised. He never backed down from a challenge.

"Put your arm around Kagome's waist and pull her closer to you."

"How many turns?" I asked as he slowly put his arms around my waist, pulling me closer, completely tense.

"The rest of them." She said.

"Kami-sama! This is really boring. Let's quit and dance, minna." Beyou said.

"Okay... Let's crank up the tunage!" Arin cried out.

I got off Inu's lap, reluctantly, and walked to the CD player as Inu-Yasha seemed to have a soft look on his face and a blush to match mine. I popped in a CD I burned for Arin called 'FF9 mix'. It had my favorite songs, and some Final Fantasy IX songs too. I turned it to 'Melodies of Life' and relaxed as I heard the soft music and felt it calm my soul. Inu seemed to have a peaceful look too, as did everyone else, except Miroku-sama who was judging the wet t-shirt contest and Sango-chan, watching him from afar, sadly.

.........................................

A/N...Okay I got this Chapter out a little later than usual, it's 8:00 P.M. But I still got it out like I promised, a chapter a day, except this Friday since I'm staying at my friend's house. Yup, my friend from the story, except she said that while she had knocked Miroku down she would have kicked him many times in the stomach. Maybe she is a decendent from Sango or Inu...Who knows. Oh yeah, I'm trying to make this not to be a Romance, so I didn't have anything between Kagome and Inu-chan, but the next Chapter will probaly be in Shippou's POV. He hasn't said much. Okay, minna, remember to review! Til 2-morrow. Ja ne!
