HIEI: *sulking in the corner, wearing his new white clothes* Stupid looney bin.
SHADOW: *sulking in the other corner, also wearing white* Stupid humans.
HIEI: Damn. Why white? *plucks at the white T-shirt*
SHADOW: Hecked if I know.
HIEI: This sucks.
SHADOW: Why white? I mean, preachers and nuns are supposed to be good and pure, but they wear dark colors! Why can't we?
HIEI: Can we mutiny?
SHADOW: Ptht. They'd pump us full of drugs.
HIEI: Shit.

Well they're having fun...

CHAPITER SICKS
Variation on Truth or Dare
*Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara are all gathered outside Shadow's bedroom door, listening. It's completely quiet*
KUWABARA: Are you sure they're both in there?
YUSUKE: Shh! Yes!
KURAMA: Maybe they're asleep. Even I haven't heard anything...
YUSUKE: Keep listening!
*~* In Shadow's room *~*
*Shadow and Hiei are sitting on Shadow's bed reading, completely aware that the other three are gathered outside the door, thanks to Hiei's Jagan*
SHADOW: *glances at the door*
HIEI: *telepathically* Yes, they're still there.
SHADOW: *sighs* Pathetic.
HIEI: *telepathically* I know.
SHADOW: *lays down*
*~* Outside the door *~*
KURAMA: Wait, I thought I heard something.
YUSUKE: What was it?!
KURAMA: Never mind, I think I imagined it. *sighs and leans against the wall* This is boring and it's getting us no where.
YUSUKE: And I suppose you have a better plan?
KURAMA: Why don't we just sit in the hall and play cards or something and see if one or the other even comes out. They might just be in there playing video games or something for all we know.
YUSUKE: Wouldn't we have heard something? I think they're sleeping.
KUWABARA: Together. In Shadow's bed.
KURAMA: I don't know. Spying on my best friend isn't exactly something I enjoy.
YUSUKE: *starts coughing his cover-up cough again*
KURAMA: YUSUKE, YOU PERV! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
*~* In Shadow's room *~*
HIEI: O_O I can only imagine...
SHADOW: Yeah, no kidding.
*~* In the hall *~*
KURAMA: Well, they know we're here now, might as well give up. *walks away*
KUWABARA: Hey, Kurama, why are you getting like that? A little while ago you were wanting to blackmail them! You were taking pictures and everything! And now you're leaving! *pouts* You just can't keep your priorities straight.
KURAMA: I can too, ya dolt! You probably don't even know what priorities are!
KUWABARA: Yes I do!
KURAMA: And besides, I thought you and your honor code had something against blackmail or spying on your friends.
KUWABARA: No. This is revenge, and I allow that.
KURAMA: O_o Okee Dokee...
YUSUKE: Let him ditch out on us, Kuwabara. Two agaisnt two is fair. He can be neutral, so that when Hiei kills us for blackmail, then Kurama can save our lives.
KUWABARA: He might join up with Hiei.
YUSUKE: I like him neutral better.
KUWABARA: But when somebody is neutral, they're not on either side, so that means they don't help anybody.
YUSUKE: Shoot. Well, he can just go home.
KUWABARA: That's not nice. I think we should try to get him back. He's useful.
YUSUKE: So? We can do this without him!
KUWABARA: But it'd be easier with him here.
*Meanwhile, Shadow has opened her bedroom door and her and Hiei are standing behind Kuwabara and Yusuke while Kurama is standing across the hall, being talked about like he's not even there. Yusuke and Kuwabara don't realize this, of course, until it is pointed out*
HIEI: *clears his throat*
YUSUKE: *glances up* Oh, shit! Oh, um, I mean, Hi, Hiei and Shadow!
KURAMA: *clears his throat*
YUSUKE: And Kurama!
KUWABARA: Oops.
KURAMA: I am neutral now.
SHADOW: *acting clueless* Neutral in what?
KURAMA: The war you four are going to have.
SHADOW: *looks confused* I'll take your word for it, genius fox boy.
KURAMA: That's the best thing you can do. See ya! *turns around and walks into the guest bedroom, which is right across the hall from Shadow's room*
YUSUKE: Well, Kuwabara and I are going to go for a walk, so, uh, see you later!
*Yusuke grabs Kuwabara and runs away*
HIEI: Well. That was interesting.
SHADOW: Hey, now that they don't have the genius with them they won't figure out our plans either.
HIEI: Good point. See you tomorrow. *walks away*
~~*~ A couple days pass. They're all extremely bored, so they gather around the living room to play games or watch movies or something ~*~~
*Shadow is sitting in her "sacred" big fluffy reclining chair, Hiei is standing beside her leaning on the wall, Yusuke and Kuwabara are sitting on the couch, while Kurama is on the floor, absentmindedly spinning a rose between his fingers*
YUSUKE: *dryly* So, guys, what do you all want to do?
SHADOW: Somehting other than this.
KUWABARA: Let's play a game.
YUSUKE: Any suggestions?
HIEI: Pfft. Games are for children.
KUWABARA: Shut up, Hiei! You aren't that old!!!
HIEI: What makes you so sure?
KUWABARA: You sure don't look it.
HIEI: Well I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult. Besides, Youko is hundreds of years old. Does he look it?
KUWABARA: I don't know. I never payed that much attention.
SHADOW: Why do you pay more attention to Hiei than Youko?
KUWABARA: I don't know! I've known Hiei longer is all!
SHADOW: Riiight.
YUSUKE: LET'S NOT BE PERVERTS NOW, SHADOW!
SHADOW: LIKE YOU HAVE ROOM TO TALK, MISTER PERVERT!
YUSUKE: I AM NOT A PERVERT!
SHADOW: BULL CRAP!
KURAMA: CHILRDEN!!! HOLY HELL, WOULD YOU NOT START KILLING EACH OTHER?!
SHADOW & YUSUKE: Yes sir!
YUSUKE: Anyway, we were going to play a game, right?
KUWABARA: I know! Let's play Truth or Dare!
*Hiei rolls his eyes*
YUSUKE: OKay! Who is playing?
KUWABARA: I WILL!
YUSUKE: Shut up, retard, of course you are. I am.
SHADOW: I will.
HIEI: I w--
SHADOW: Will.
HIEI: What?
SHADOW: You're playing too.
KURAMA: I guess. I have nothing better to do.
YUSUKE: *leans over and whispers in Kuwabara's ear* It's a good thing you picked this game. See, cuz we can dare Shadow and Hiei to do stuff that we could use for blackmail, and we can ask them questions that we could use for blackmail. This is the first thing you've done right in a long time!
KUWABARA: Oh. *looks confused*
KURAMA: I just want to tell you, Yusuke, that I heard that.
YUSUKE: O_O
KURAMA: But I'll shut up.
YUSUKE: Thank you! Okay, who'll go first?
KUWABARA: I WILL!!!
YUSUKE: Okay. Pick someone.
KUWABARA: *looks around the room at Shadow, Hiei, and Kurama, who all look extremely bored or tired. Hiei and Kurama even have their eyes closed.* Truth or dare, Shadow!
SHADOW: Who, me? Uh... truth.
KUWABARA: Hm... Have you ever kissed a boy?
SHADOW: What business is it of yours?
YUSUKE: You gotta answer the question, Shadow.
SHADOW: Curses. Are all the questions gonna be like this?
YUSUKE: I don't know!
SHADOW: Yes.
KUWABARA: AWWW!!! Who was it?!
SHADOW: One question per turn, kid. OKay. Truth or dare... Yusuke.
YUSUKE: Me?! Uh... Dare.
SHADOW: *looks happy-evil* I dare you to... *looks even eviller and whispers something in Yusuke's ear*
YUSUKE: HECK NO!!!
SHADOW: Then you have to forfit something.
YUSUKE: *gets an evil grin* I just had an idea! Ever heard of strip poker?
HIEI: WE ARE NOT PLAYING STRIP POKER.
YUSUKE: No, we're going to play strip truth-or-dare. If you don't answer the question, you lie, or you don't do what somebody dares you, then you shed on piece of clothing.
SHADOW: Now that's not fair to me! You guys can go ahead and strip, but I, being female, must protest.
YUSUKE: Fine, protest, but the easy way out is to answer all the questions.
SHADOW: Excuse me. *shoots upstairs*
YUSUKE: Where's she going?
HIEI: *walks to the closet and grabs his cloak, pulling it on over his clothes* This way, the first piece of clothes I lose won't be my shirt.
KURAMA: *rolls his eyes* That's a first.
HIEI: No it's not. I always wear my cloak during fights.
KURAMA: And you always lose it. Then your shirt. But since it's always back the next day, it seems like you have an endless supply of cloaks and shirts.
HIEI: I do.
KURAMA: O_o
SHADOW: I'm back! *she is now wearing a cloak and a jacket*
HIEI: Wait. Isn't that cloak mine?
SHADOW: *shrugs* It fits.
HIEI: -_-
YUSUKE: Look, they're little twinsies now.
HIEI & SHADOW: *glare*
HIEI: Twinsies is a repulsive word.
YUSUKE: TWINSIES!!!
HIEI: SHADDUP!!!
YUSUKE: TWINSIES!!!
HIEI: SHADDUP!!!
CROWBAR:: CRACK!!!
YUSUKE: *holding his head* HOLY HELL, GIRL!
SHADOW: Now, are you going to do what I dared you or not?
YUSUKE: *pulls off his jacket and drops it on the floor*
SHADOW: Okay then.
YUSUKE: I pick Hiei.
HIEI: Curses.
YUSUKE: Truth or dare, Hiei?
HIEI: Curses.
SHADOW: *kicks him* Pick something!
HIEI: Curses... Uh. Truth.
YUSUKE: Are you gay?
HIEI: HECK NO, YOU SICK PERVERT BOY!!!
YUSUKE: God, okay, okay, but I heard all kinds of stuff from other people...
HIEI: *rolls his eyes* Yes, you would believe them, wouldn't you... Typical.
SHADOW: Yeah, well... Anyway, Hiei, pick somebody.
HIEI: Kuwabara.
KUWABARA: Wat?!
HIEI: Truth or dare, you dolt!
KUWABARA: Uh... Truth?
HIEI: *thinks for a second* What is your IQ? Seriously.
KUWABARA: *thinks* I never got a test, but I think it's somewhere between 90 and 100.
HIEI: Bull-ya!!! Still at least 35 points lower than me!
KUWABARA: Hm. I pick Yusuke.
YUSUKE: Dare.
KUWABARA: I dare you to kiss Shadow.
SHADOW: Hey! Don't I get a choice in this?!
*Yusuke kisses her on the cheek, carefully watching Hiei's reaction*
HIEI: What are you staring at me for, you dolt?
YUSUKE: Oh, I just figured you'd have more of a reaction than that with me kissing her.
HIEI: Why would I?
KUWABARA: Yusuke's turn! No fighting, guys.
YUSUKE: Shadow, truth or dare?
SHADOW: Hmmm... Dare.
YUSUKE: YES! Er... I mean, okay! I dare you... to... Uh... Hmm... Kiss Hiei on the lips.
SHADOW: O_O *glances at Hiei*
HIEI: *shrugs* Your choice.
SHADOW: *jumps up and kisses him really quick*
YUSUKE: Oh, come on, you gotta be more romantic than that!
SHADOW & HIEI: *glaring* Why?
YUSUKE: Oops. No reason. Shadow's turn.
SHADOW: Hm. I pick Kurama.
KURAMA: Wow, so I do exist.
SHADOW: Truth or dare?
KURAMA: Hmm... Dare.
SHADOW: *evil glint in her eye* I want you to make a prank call.
KURAMA: To who?
SHADOW: *thinks for a second* Botan.
KURAMA: Why her?
SHADOW: Because I have her phone number, and I don't have any one else's.
KURAMA: Curses.
SHADOW: *hands Kurama a slip of paper with some numbers written on it* Okay, I saw this prank on a TV show once. *starts explaining the prank to Kurama*
~*~ A few minutes later ~*~
KURAMA: *waiting for Botan to answer* Are you sure--?
SHADOW: Yes, Shut up!
HIEI: *holding the other phone to his ear so he can hear the whole conversation*
BOTAN: Hello?
KURAMA: *starts tapping on the phone* Yes, this is the phone company. We've been having reports of a strange tapping noise on the phone lines.
BOTAN: Oh, dear, well it seems my phone is affected...
KURAMA: Okay, it's rather easy to fix. I'll walk you through it.
BOTAN: You know, you sound familiar...
KURAMA: O_O Well, I'm fairly sure we've never met, miss.
BOTAN: Oh, wait, the tapping is--- Never mind.
KURAMA: *as soon as she said that he had continued tapping* Okay, here's how you fix it. First, take the phone away from your ear.
BOTAN: Okay!
KURAMA: Now take off the covering. I'll wait.
*a few seconds later*
BOTAN: Okay!
KURAMA: Now go get a glass.
BOTAN: Be right back!
*a few seconds later*
BOTAN: Back!
KURAMA: Fill the glass full of water.
BOTAN: *sigh* OKay...
*a few more seconds later*
BOTAN: Okay, I'm back again.
KURAMA: Drink the water.
BOTAN: What has this got to do with fixing my phone?
KURAMA: Everything. Drink the water.
BOTAN: OKay...
KURAMA: *after a second* Did you drink it?
BOTAN: Yes.
KURAMA: Now, put all the parts of the phone in a bag, and after that is done, you need to swing the bag around your head while jumping up and down and making sounds like a chicken.
BOTAN: What?!
KURAMA: I swear, it'll fix the phone.
BOTAN: O_o OKay...
*a second later, incredibly loud chicken sounds are heard on the other line. Everybody in Shadow's living room bursts out laughing*
KURAMA: *stops tapping and waits for her to get the phone out of the bag*
BOTAN: *a few minutes later* Hello?
KURAMA: Is the sound gone?
BOTAN: Yeah, it is!
KURAMA: Is your phone back together? If not, put it together.
*a minute later*
BOTAN: Okay, it's back together.
KURAMA: Good... *puts his hand over the receiver* Shadow, what do I do now?
SHADOW: Nothing. *takes the phone* Botan, have you ever heard of a prank call?
BOTAN: Yes, why?
SHADOW: You were just the victim of a prank call.
BOTAN: What?! Who would be so mean as to do that?!
KURAMA: *snatches the phone back* It was a dare, Botan. I'm innocent!!!
BOTAN: Kurama! Well! See if I'm ever nice to you again! *hangs up*
KURAMA: Oops.
YUSUKE: Ya! Now, back to truth or dare! It's Kurama's turn!
KURAMA: Can I pass?
YUSUKE: No.
KURAMA: I pick Yusuke.
YUSUKE: Dare!
KURAMA: OKay. Hm... *thinks for a minute* Hm. I dare you to go to the police station and turn yourself in for child abuse!
YUSUKE: Whaat?!
KURAMA: You heard me.
YUSUKE: No! I don't have any children to abuse!
KURAMA: *blinks, looking thoughtful, then looks at Hiei*
HIEI: I'M NOT A CHILD!!!
KURAMA: Are you gonna do it, Yusuke?
YUSUKE: Heck no!
SHADOW: You're lousy! You can't pass on all of them! You'll end up completely naked!
YUSUKE: That's my choice.
ALL: O_O
YUSUKE: Besides, I never lose, and if I end up completely naked, I'll be the loser. So I'll have to do something.
SHADOW: Right. Well, you lose your shirt now, so...
*Yusuke pulls of his shirt*
SHADOW: This is wrong.
YUSUKE: Why? Don't you like the thought of having shirtless guys around you?
SHADOW: O_O What are you implying, pervert?
YUSUKE: Ohhhh, nothing!
SHADOW: *kicks him in the head* I think you're saying something you shouldn't be!
YUSUKE: No! I'm innocent.
SHADOW: Right. Anywho, it's your turn.
YUSUKE: I pick you, then.
SHADOW: Me? Okay. *thinks* Dare.
YUSUKE: Hm. I dare you to... Hum... OH! I know! I dare you to hold hands with Hiei for the rest of this game.
SHADOW: What is you peoples's deal with me and Hiei?!
YUSUKE: What? I just think that he's the one you're most likely to... uh... want to hold hands with.
SHADOW: Pfft! Like you really care about what I'd want.
YUSUKE: Of course I do!
SHADOW: Well I pass. *pulls off her coat and drops it on the floor*
YUSUKE: Wow. Now you two really look like twinsies.
SHADOW & HIEI: WOULD YOU STOP IT WITH THAT WORD?!
YUSUKE: TWINSIES!!!
KURAMA: *looking at Shadow and Hiei nervously* Yusuke, uh... I suggest you stop it now...
YUSUKE: Why? Twinsies is a funny word. And besides, if you ignore the fact that Shadow is a girl and Hiei is a boy, they look the same. They're wearing the same clothes, they both have red eyes, black hair with white in it---
SHADOW: Silver!!! It's silver!!!
YUSUKE: Whatever.
HIEI: And besides, does it look like Shadow has anti-gravity hair? I'm special.
YUSUKE: Right. Kurama has anti-gravity hair, somewhat.
KURAMA: O_O *covers his head with his arms* I do not!
KUWABARA: Yeah, it sticks up a little. Me and Yusuke are the only ones with normal hair.
SHADOW: *glares* Like I care if it's normal or not. I like my silver streak.
YUSUKE: Back to the point I was making. They look like twins.
HIEI & SHADOW: *steaming* Curses... NO WE DON'T!!!
*Shadow is holding crowbar, and Hiei has his hand on the hilt of his sword and they're both glaring at Yusuke evilly*
KURAMA: LET'S GET BACK TO THIS STUPID GAME BEFORE WE KILL EACH OTHER!!! I DON'T WANT TO BE MOPPING UP BLOOD OFF THE FLOOR, IF YOU DON'T MIND!!!
SHADOW: RIGHT! Let me get something straight here. The first person in their underwear loses, right?
YUSUKE: That's right.
SHADOW: Hm... OKay. Yusuke, truth or dare.
YUSUKE: Dare.
SHADOW: I dare you to take off your shoes and socks.
YUSUKE: What the hell kind of dare is that? *pulls of his shoes and socks*
SHADOW: *smiles evilly* Your turn.
HIEI: Why was that so bad?
SHADOW: You'll see.
YUSUKE: I pick... Hiei!
HIEI: *rolls his eyes* Truth.
YUSUKE: Oooh. Hm. Have you ever slept with a girl?
HIEI: Yeah.
YUSUKE: *squeal* Who?!
HIEI: None of your business.
YUSUKE: Dammit.
SHADOW: *whispering to Hiei* Pick Yusuke, and dare him to do something that he'll never ever in a billion years do so that he'll have to lose his pants, and then he'll be in his underwear and this stupid game will be over! Or ask him a question he'd never ever answer in a bazoogle years.
HIEI: OKay. Yusuke.
KUWABARA: Hey, this isn't fair! I should get picked!
HIEI: Shut up, dolt.
KUWABARA: *pouts*
YUSUKE: Dare.
HIEI: *thinks for a second before an evil smile comes onto his face* I dare you to go down to the senior citizen's center and walk around in there completely naked.
YUSUKE: What?! Heck no!
HIEI: You lose.
YUSUKE: What?
SHADOW: If you don't, then you'll take off your pants and be in your underwear, and you lose.
YUSUKE: Dammit!
KURAMA: I thought you never lose, Yusuke?
YUSUKE: SHUT UP, FOX BOY! *throws a shoe*
KURAMA: Ack! *dodges the shoe*
ALL: YUSUKE LOSES!!!
YUSUKE: SHUT UP, SUCKERS!!! *starts putting his clothes back on*
SHADOW: Well, that was entertaining for the few minutes it lasted. Got any other plans?
YUSUKE: Not really. Kuwabara?
KUWABARA: Uh. We could play another game. One that I might be able to participate in you lousy bums.
HIEI: *rolls his eyes* This is lame. *starts walking away*
YUSUKE: *tackles Hiei* No sir, you're not leaving! We're going to play... Hm...
HIEI: *punches Yusuke* I'M GOING TO BED! *leaves*
SHADOW: *looks at the clock* Yeah, it is pretty late...
YUSUKE: Eleven thirty?
SHADOW: Another half hour and it'll be early, so yes, it's late. Genius.
YUSUKE: Ohhhhhhh.
SHADOW: Good night, all. *walks upstairs*
YUSUKE: Ha!!! *follows her with Kuwabara right behind him*
*Shadow opens her door to find Hiei sitting on her bed. Yusuke and Kuwabara almost die when they hear her talking to him in her room.*
YUSUKE: *whispering* Let's lock them in together! *seals the door shut with two by fours*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lovely, huh? R&R, please! Not getting many reviews, so curses. Give me suggestions for my story! I'll accept flames, line challenges, you know, whatever! Just REVIEW for god's sake!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
HIEI: I wonder what chapter they're on in that story.
SHADOW: This is the end of the sixth.
HIEI: How do you know?
SHADOW: The voices in my head told me.
HIEI: O_O
SHADOW: I also got a hint from the fact that the person watching us is waving around a flag that says '6' on it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Nice move, Slick. Anywho, r&r PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
HIEI: *sulking in the corner, wearing his new white clothes* Stupid looney bin.
SHADOW: *sulking in the other corner, also wearing white* Stupid humans.
HIEI: Damn. Why white? *plucks at the white T-shirt*
SHADOW: Hecked if I know.
HIEI: This sucks.
SHADOW: Why white? I mean, preachers and nuns are supposed to be good and pure, but they wear dark colors! Why can't we?
HIEI: Can we mutiny?
SHADOW: Ptht. They'd pump us full of drugs.
HIEI: Shit.

HIEI: What?
SHADOW: You're playing too.
KURAMA: I guess. I have nothing better to do.
YUSUKE: *leans over and whispers in Kuwabara's ear* It's a good thing you picked this game. See, cuz we can dare Shadow and Hiei to do stuff that we could use for blackmail, and we can ask them questions that we could use for blackmail. This is the first thing you've done right in a long time!
KUWABARA: Oh. *looks confused*
KURAMA: I just want to tell you, Yusuke, that I heard that.
YUSUKE: O_O
KURAMA: But I'll shut up.
YUSUKE: Thank you! Okay, who'll go first?
KUWABARA: I WILL!!!
YUSUKE: Okay. Pick someone.
KUWABARA: *looks around the room at Shadow, Hiei, and Kurama, who all look extremely bored or tired. Hiei and Kurama even have their eyes closed.* Truth or dare, Shadow!
SHADOW: Who, me? Uh... truth.
KUWABARA: Hm... Have you ever kissed a boy?
SHADOW: What business is it of yours?
YUSUKE: You gotta answer the question, Shadow.
SHADOW: Curses. Are all the questions gonna be like this?
YUSUKE: I don't know!
SHADOW: Yes.
KUWABARA: AWWW!!! Who was it?!
SHADOW: One question per turn, kid. OKay. Truth or dare... Yusuke.
YUSUKE: Me?! Uh... Dare.
SHADOW: *looks happy-evil* I dare you to... *looks even eviller and whispers something in Yusuke's ear*
YUSUKE: HECK NO!!!
SHADOW: Then you have to forfit something.
YUSUKE: *gets an evil grin* I just had an idea! Ever heard of strip poker?
HIEI: WE ARE NOT PLAYING STRIP POKER.
YUSUKE: No, we're going to play strip truth-or-dare. If you don't answer the question, you lie, or you don't do what somebody dares you, then you shed on piece of clothing.
SHADOW: Now that's not fair to me! You guys can go ahead and strip, but I, being female, must protest.
YUSUKE: Fine, protest, but the easy way out is to answer all the questions.
SHADOW: Excuse me. *shoots upstairs*
YUSUKE: Where's she going?
HIEI: *walks to the closet and grabs his cloak, pulling it on over his clothes* This way, the first piece of clothes I lose won't be my shirt.
KURAMA: *rolls his eyes* That's a first.
HIEI: No it's not. I always wear my cloak during fights.
KURAMA: And you always lose it. Then your shirt. But since it's always back the next day, it seems like you have an endless supply of cloaks and shirts.
HIEI: I do.
KURAMA: O_o
SHADOW: I'm back! *she is now wearing a cloak and a jacket*
HIEI: Wait. Isn't that cloak mine?
SHADOW: *shrugs* It fits.
HIEI: -_-
YUSUKE: Look, they're little twinsies now.
HIEI & SHADOW: *glare*
HIEI: Twinsies is a repulsive word.
YUSUKE: TWINSIES!!!
HIEI: SHADDUP!!!
YUSUKE: TWINSIES!!!
HIEI: SHADDUP!!!
CROWBAR:: CRACK!!!
YUSUKE: *holding his head* HOLY HELL, GIRL!
SHADOW: Now, are you going to do what I dared you or not?
YUSUKE: *pulls off his jacket and drops it on the floor*
SHADOW: Okay then.
YUSUKE: I pick Hiei.
HIEI: Curses.
YUSUKE: Truth or dare, Hiei?
HIEI: Curses.
SHADOW: *kicks him* Pick something!
HIEI: Curses... Uh. Truth.
YUSUKE: Are you gay?
HIEI: HECK NO, YOU SICK PERVERT BOY!!!
YUSUKE: God, okay, okay, but I heard all kinds of stuff from other people...
HIEI: *rolls his eyes* Yes, you would believe them, wouldn't you... Typical.
SHADOW: Yeah, well... Anyway, Hiei, pick somebody.
HIEI: Kuwabara.
KUWABARA: Wat?!
HIEI: Truth or dare, you dolt!
KUWABARA: Uh... Truth?
HIEI: *thinks for a second* What is your IQ? Seriously.
KUWABARA: *thinks* I never got a test, but I think it's somewhere between 90 and 100.
HIEI: Bull-ya!!! Still at least 35 points lower than me!
KUWABARA: Hm. I pick Yusuke.
YUSUKE: Dare.
KUWABARA: I dare you to kiss Shadow.
SHADOW: Hey! Don't I get a choice in this?!
*Yusuke kisses her on the cheek, carefully watching Hiei's reaction*
HIEI: What are you staring at me for, you dolt?
YUSUKE: Oh, I just figured you'd have more of a reaction than that with me kissing her.
HIEI: Why would I?
KUWABARA: Yusuke's turn! No fighting, guys.
YUSUKE: Shadow, truth or dare?
SHADOW: Hmmm... Dare.
YUSUKE: YES! Er... I mean, okay! I dare you... to... Uh... Hmm... Kiss Hiei on the lips.
SHADOW: O_O *glances at Hiei*
HIEI: *shrugs* Your choice.
SHADOW: *jumps up and kisses him really quick*
YUSUKE: Oh, come on, you gotta be more romantic than that!
SHADOW & HIEI: *glaring* Why?
YUSUKE: Oops. No reason. Shadow's turn.
SHADOW: Hm. I pick Kurama.
KURAMA: Wow, so I do exist.
SHADOW: Truth or dare?
KURAMA: Hmm... Dare.
SHADOW: *evil glint in her eye* I want you to make a prank call.
KURAMA: To who?
SHADOW: *thinks for a second* Botan.
KURAMA: Why her?
SHADOW: Because I have her phone number, and I don't have any one else's.
KURAMA: Curses.
SHADOW: *hands Kurama a slip of paper with some numbers written on it* Okay, I saw this prank on a TV show once. *starts explaining the prank to Kurama*
~*~ A few minutes later ~*~
KURAMA: *waiting for Botan to answer* Are you sure--?
SHADOW: Yes, Shut up!
HIEI: *holding the other phone to his ear so he can hear the whole conversation*
BOTAN: Hello?
KURAMA: *starts tapping on the phone* Yes, this is the phone company. We've been having reports of a strange tapping noise on the phone lines.
BOTAN: Oh, dear, well it seems my phone is affected...
KURAMA: Okay, it's rather easy to fix. I'll walk you through it.
BOTAN: You know, you sound familiar...
KURAMA: O_O Well, I'm fairly sure we've never met, miss.
BOTAN: Oh, wait, the tapping is--- Never mind.
KURAMA: *as soon as she said that he had continued tapping* Okay, here's how you fix it. First, take the phone away from your ear.
BOTAN: Okay!
KURAMA: Now take off the covering. I'll wait.
*a few seconds later*
BOTAN: Okay!
KURAMA: Now go get a glass.
BOTAN: Be right back!
*a few seconds later*
BOTAN: Back!
KURAMA: Fill the glass full of water.
BOTAN: *sigh* OKay...
*a few more seconds later*
BOTAN: Okay, I'm back again.
KURAMA: Drink the water.
BOTAN: What has this got to do with fixing my phone?
KURAMA: Everything. Drink the water.
BOTAN: OKay...
KURAMA: *after a second* Did you drink it?
BOTAN: Yes.
KURAMA: Now, put all the parts of the phone in a bag, and after that is done, you need to swing the bag around your head while jumping up and down and making sounds like a chicken.
BOTAN: What?!
KURAMA: I swear, it'll fix the phone.
BOTAN: O_o OKay...
*a second later, incredibly loud chicken sounds are heard on the other line. Everybody in Shadow's living room bursts out laughing*
KURAMA: *stops tapping and waits for her to get the phone out of the bag*
BOTAN: *a few minutes later* Hello?
KURAMA: Is the sound gone?
BOTAN: Yeah, it is!
KURAMA: Is your phone back together? If not, put it together.
*a minute later*
BOTAN: Okay, it's back together.
KURAMA: Good... *puts his hand over the receiver* Shadow, what do I do now?
SHADOW: Nothing. *takes the phone* Botan, have you ever heard of a prank call?
BOTAN: Yes, why?
SHADOW: You were just the victim of a prank call.
BOTAN: What?! Who would be so mean as to do that?!
KURAMA: *snatches the phone back* It was a dare, Botan. I'm innocent!!!
BOTAN: Kurama! Well! See if I'm ever nice to you again! *hangs up*
KURAMA: Oops.
YUSUKE: Ya! Now, back to truth or dare! It's Kurama's turn!
KURAMA: Can I pass?
YUSUKE: No.
KURAMA: I pick Yusuke.
YUSUKE: Dare!
KURAMA: OKay. Hm... *thinks for a minute* Hm. I dare you to go to the police station and turn yourself in for child abuse!
YUSUKE: Whaat?!
KURAMA: You heard me.
YUSUKE: No! I don't have any children to abuse!
KURAMA: *blinks, looking thoughtful, then looks at Hiei*
HIEI: I'M NOT A CHILD!!!
KURAMA: Are you gonna do it, Yusuke?
YUSUKE: Heck no!
SHADOW: You're lousy! You can't pass on all of them! You'll end up completely naked!
YUSUKE: That's my choice.
ALL: O_O
YUSUKE: Besides, I never lose, and if I end up completely naked, I'll be the loser. So I'll have to do something.
SHADOW: Right. Well, you lose your shirt now, so...
*Yusuke pulls of his shirt*
SHADOW: This is wrong.
YUSUKE: Why? Don't you like the thought of having shirtless guys around you?
SHADOW: O_O What are you implying, pervert?
YUSUKE: Ohhhh, nothing!
SHADOW: *kicks him in the head* I think you're saying something you shouldn't be!
YUSUKE: No! I'm innocent.
SHADOW: Right. Anywho, it's your turn.
YUSUKE: I pick you, then.
SHADOW: Me? Okay. *thinks* Dare.
YUSUKE: Hm. I dare you to... Hum... OH! I know! I dare you to hold hands with Hiei for the rest of this game.
SHADOW: What is you peoples's deal with me and Hiei?!
YUSUKE: What? I just think that he's the one you're most likely to... uh... want to hold hands with.
SHADOW: Pfft! Like you really care about what I'd want.
YUSUKE: Of course I do!
SHADOW: Well I pass. *pulls off her coat and drops it on the floor*
YUSUKE: Wow. Now you two really look like twinsies.
SHADOW & HIEI: WOULD YOU STOP IT WITH THAT WORD?!
YUSUKE: TWINSIES!!!
KURAMA: *looking at Shadow and Hiei nervously* Yusuke, uh... I suggest you stop it now...
YUSUKE: Why? Twinsies is a funny word. And besides, if you ignore the fact that Shadow is a girl and Hiei is a boy, they look the same. They're wearing the same clothes, they both have red eyes, black hair with white in it---
SHADOW: Silver!!! It's silver!!!
YUSUKE: Whatever.
HIEI: And besides, does it look like Shadow has anti-gravity hair? I'm special.
YUSUKE: Right. Kurama has anti-gravity hair, somewhat.
KURAMA: O_O *covers his head with his arms* I do not!
KUWABARA: Yeah, it sticks up a little. Me and Yusuke are the only ones with normal hair.
SHADOW: *glares* Like I care if it's normal or not. I like my silver streak.
YUSUKE: Back to the point I was making. They look like twins.
HIEI & SHADOW: *steaming* Curses... NO WE DON'T!!!
*Shadow is holding crowbar, and Hiei has his hand on the hilt of his sword and they're both glaring at Yusuke evilly*
KURAMA: LET'S GET BACK TO THIS STUPID GAME BEFORE WE KILL EACH OTHER!!! I DON'T WANT TO BE MOPPING UP BLOOD OFF THE FLOOR, IF YOU DON'T MIND!!!
SHADOW: RIGHT! Let me get something straight here. The first person in their underwear loses, right?
YUSUKE: That's right.
SHADOW: Hm... OKay. Yusuke, truth or dare.
YUSUKE: Dare.
SHADOW: I dare you to take off your shoes and socks.
YUSUKE: What the hell kind of dare is that? *pulls of his shoes and socks*
SHADOW: *smiles evilly* Your turn.
HIEI: Why was that so bad?
SHADOW: You'll see.
YUSUKE: I pick... Hiei!
HIEI: *rolls his eyes* Truth.
YUSUKE: Oooh. Hm. Have you ever slept with a girl?
HIEI: Yeah.
YUSUKE: *squeal* Who?!
HIEI: None of your business.
YUSUKE: Dammit.
SHADOW: *whispering to Hiei* Pick Yusuke, and dare him to do something that he'll never ever in a billion years do so that he'll have to lose his pants, and then he'll be in his underwear and this stupid game will be over! Or ask him a question he'd never ever answer in a bazoogle years.
HIEI: OKay. Yusuke.
KUWABARA: Hey, this isn't fair! I should get picked!
HIEI: Shut up, dolt.
KUWABARA: *pouts*
YUSUKE: Dare.
HIEI: *thinks for a second before an evil smile comes onto his face* I dare you to go down to the senior citizen's center and walk around in there completely naked.
YUSUKE: What?! Heck no!
HIEI: You lose.
YUSUKE: What?
SHADOW: If you don't, then you'll take off your pants and be in your underwear, and you lose.
YUSUKE: Dammit!
KURAMA: I thought you never lose, Yusuke?
YUSUKE: SHUT UP, FOX BOY! *throws a shoe*
KURAMA: Ack! *dodges the shoe*
ALL: YUSUKE LOSES!!!
YUSUKE: SHUT UP, SUCKERS!!! *starts putting his clothes back on*
SHADOW: Well, that was entertaining for the few minutes it lasted. Got any other plans?
YUSUKE: Not really. Kuwabara?
KUWABARA: Uh. We could play another game. One that I might be able to participate in you lousy bums.
HIEI: *rolls his eyes* This is lame. *starts walking away*
YUSUKE: *tackles Hiei* No sir, you're not leaving! We're going to play... Hm...
HIEI: *punches Yusuke* I'M GOING TO BED! *leaves*
SHADOW: *looks at the clock* Yeah, it is pretty late...
YUSUKE: Eleven thirty?
SHADOW: Another half hour and it'll be early, so yes, it's late. Genius.
YUSUKE: Ohhhhhhh.
SHADOW: Good night, all. *walks upstairs*
YUSUKE: Ha!!! *follows her with Kuwabara right behind him*
*Shadow opens her door to find Hiei sitting on her bed. Yusuke and Kuwabara almost die when they hear her talking to him in her room.*
YUSUKE: *whispering* Let's lock them in together! *seals the door shut with two by fours*

Lovely, huh? R&R, please! Not getting many reviews, so curses. Give me suggestions for my story! I'll accept flames, line challenges, you know, whatever! Just REVIEW for god's sake!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
HIEI: I wonder what chapter they're on in that story.
SHADOW: This is the end of the sixth.
HIEI: How do you know?
SHADOW: The voices in my head told me.
HIEI: O_O
SHADOW: I also got a hint from the fact that the person watching us is waving around a flag that says '6' on it.
