~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Ch.7 Wanna Play Truth or Dare? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After making sure that Miroku was at safe distance away from the other girls they had decided to finally settle in for the night. Keade had pulled out a few extra futons for the girls. Eri had been a little bit skeptical about sleeping on the floor of the hut and complained about being scared of waking up and finding a cocoroach singing "Feliz Navidad" in her ear. (A/N: 'Feliz Navidad' is a spanish christmas song for those who don't know ^_^)
After debating with Eri for a while about her crazy cocoroach fantasy they had finally convinced her to go to bed but she had just sat there wide eyed completely terrified of having some crazy cocoroach in a sombrero hat come after with tortillas and threaten to kill her with hot sauce. She sat there and watched as Kagome settled in with Shippou and watched Inuyasha walk out the door. She leaned over to Kagome who was sleeping towards her left and whispered in her ear. "Hey Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"Why is Inuyasha going outside? "
"Oh, he likes to slep outside. He's not much of an indoor person" she said while snuggling into her sleeping bag with Shippou at her side. "What?!! Is he crazy! There's like wild animals out there! Isn't he scared?"
Kagome just laughed. "he's a big boy he can handle himself, besides he's practiclly a wild animal himself."
"Oh yeah, youkia right. Almost forgot." She said feeling a little silly for over reacting and laid down.
A few hours had passed and she was the only one still awake. She looked around the room for what seemed like the hundreth time taking in everyones sleeping postion and still watching out for the crazy cocoroach. She turned on her side and faced Kagome's direction who had her back to her as well.
She all of a sudden herd something outside and quickly pulled her covers up close to her face nearly covering it completely but still leaving enough of it down so she could se past it and stare at the entrance to the hut. She kept wide eyes at the entrance praying to god that some hungry wild animal wouldn't come through that door. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was only Inuyasha. His eyes snapped in her direction making him look like some of those animals with the glowing eyes she had imagined coming in through the door which didn't help feel any better. For a moment she thought he was going to start nagging her for still being awake because of cocoroach nightmares but realized he hadn't recognized that she was even awake.
She stayed as still as possible and watched him intently to see what was his purpose for walking around at night. She was surprised when he had come over and sat right in front of kagome and stared down at the slumbering miko. She could just see his face from behind Kagome and he had a confused yet sad expression on his face and looked like he was struggling with something like he had something he had to say but just couldn't bring himself to say it.
Inuyasha let out a heavy sight and gently brushed some of Kagome's bangs away from her forehead and stared at her again almost like he was hypnotized. Kagome sighd and unconsciously snuggled closer to him. A slight smile tugged at the side of his lips. "Kagome" he sighed.
"You do this often?" came a voice that made him nearly jump out of his skin and almost wake the others. He looked around wide eyed making sure no one woke up and brouht them back on the person who had caught him red handed and glared for all he was worth.
"What the hell do you think your doing?!" he hissed at Eri who just grinned back and had her faced propped up on her hand.
She decided to ignore his question and repeat hers. "You do this often?" she repeated.
"No!!" he retorted.
"Then what were you doing?" she asked putting on her most innocent face.
Inuyasha felt his cheeks warm and and turned his face away. "Well.um.I- I..uh..was j-just.seeing if." he stuttered trying to do his best to come up with some kind of witty or reasonable response.
"You really like her AND you don't know how to express your feelings for her AND your afraid of her rejecting you AND you are completely AND utterly lost about how you really feel about kikyou AND can't seem to choose between the two because of your past with kikyou AND you you completely freak when she gets hurt or some guys get too close to her AND you sometimes wonder why you care so much AND you for some reason have your mind sent on kikyou but won't let Kagome go for any other guy, which I thought that by now would give you some kind of hint that you do have feelings for her AND.." She was cut off when Inuyasha growled at her.
"Enough with the ANDS already!" he looked at her like she was crazy and wondered how the hell does someone who has only just found out about Kagome, himself, and hasn't even seen kikyou and just met him can know his messed up love life inside out.
"The ANDS can go on all night." She said with a smug grin.
"It's nothing like that!"
"don't kid youself Inuyasha."
"How do you know all this any ways?"
"well for the 'kikyou' and 'freak when she gets hurt' thing, well lets just say I got my resources, but for the way you feel about Kagome was way to easy." She continued still smiling at him.
"Feh! And may I ask how easy it was for you to gain that information?" he said aragantly sticking his nose in the air and expecting her to say something like it was shippou since thats who he susspected gave her all the other information in the first place and then he planned on denying everything the kit said.
She just laughed lightly "It's written all over your face." She said laying down and snuggling into her covers and closing her eyes.
Inuyasha just sat there a little surprised at her response in which he had expected it to be shippou or something. 'It can't be that obvious can it?' he thought to himself. 'crazy wench what does she know? Okay maybe she knows a lot but is it that obvious? And how come no one else has said that to me? Well maybe they have but in a different use of words.' He was cut off his train of thought when she opened her eyes and spoke again.
"I've known Kagome since the third grade and just to put one your thoughts at ease, Kagome is not the type a person to reject any one, she has always excepted every one no matter what they were, looked like, acted like, or any thing and your no different from those people. Maybe except the fact that you might get some extra care from her since you happen to be some one she's fond of." She said smiling again at him. "So you don't ever have to worry about her rejecting you. From what I hear she promised to stay by your side until you've collected all the jewel shards." She finished and layed back down while clsing her eyes.
Inuyasha just sat there still trying to take in everything she said. Not knowing when third grade was he just figured it must have been a long time and that he could trust her on her words.
Eri just layed there completely proud of herself for getting him to actually stop and think since she hadn't herd him get up yet. She was practiclly giddy on the inside for doing such good work and actually felt like she could fall asleep. When she herd him get up after what she suspected was a few minutes of sitting and thinking she cracked an eye open and and looked at his retreating form.
"Good night Inuyasha." she said in a sing song tone knowing she had won that one.
Inuyasha just looked back at her and smirked evily and thinking there was no way she was going to get away with scaring the daylights out of him and for being all up in his business. "Good night Eri, don't let the cocoroaches bite." He caught a glimpse of her pailed, shocked, and totally scared face before turning away and barely holding in his laughter.
"that will teach her." He mumbled while jumping up into his tree which was a fair distance from the hut to ponder some more on his thughts.
Eri had stiffend at his words and thought that was a low down dirty trick to play and he knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep all night because of it.
"This is going to be a long night." She mummbled to herself as she looked around once more for the crazy sombrero wearing, hot suace carring cocoroach.
~*~
"Eri, you stayed up all night didn't you!" kagome said the next morning when she woke up and saw that Eri was making breakfast. "You can't lie to me either cause I know your not a morning person." She said with a yawn.
"Don't worry it's the least I can do since me and the girls stalled you guys by a day." She said and glared up at Inuyasha who was siting up in his tree and knowing very well that she would have gotten some sleep if it wasn't for him.
Kagome just laughed nervously at knowing that the girl had actually stayed up all night because of her make believe cocoroach killer. " Um Eri, you know we'll be heading off today right?" she asked nervously.
"Yeah, why?" she said and realized that her friend was hesitant to tell her something.
" Well we won't be sleeping in a hut like last night."
Eri's eyes widened. " you mean they'll be having some kind of old fashioned hotel or something?!" she said thoroughly excited of the thought of not having to sleep in a little hut floor full of bugs.
A loud snort was herd from inuyasha who had busted out laughing and had to catch himself before falling off his tree.
"Um. well no it's more like, well were um.. going to be sleeping outside." Kagome said hesitantly not even whanting to be the one to break the news to her friend. "On the floor." She added.
Eri's eyes widened again but this time in fear. " Kagome please tell me your joking." She pleaded.
Kagome just shook her head. Eri could feel tears spring to her eyes.
"Eri please don't cry, it's okay, I've been doing this for two years now and not once have I ever had an encounter with a killer cocoroach." She said and then thought about it for a minute while patting her pack in reassurence. "okay maybe a youkia cocoroach but it's okay." Eri just wailed even harder and suceeded on waking every one else up.
Inuyasha who just hated seeing girls cry decided to do something. Inuyasha had jumped down from his tree and was now walking towards the wailing girl that was being held in Kagome's embrace.
He put on a scowl once he got to them. "WILL YOU STOP YOUR WAILING ALREADY?!!"
"Inuyasha!!" kagome scolded him.
He ignored her and kept on running his mouth. "Listen if I promise to watch over you at night and make sure no iddy bitty cocoroaches come after you will you stop the water works." He said thoroughly irritated by her tears.
Eri sniffled a bit and looked up at him. "You'd do that?" she asked.
"Anything to stop that annoying crying of yours." He retorted.
"Thanks Inuyasha." Eri responded and whent back to cooking her breakfast.
"That was real sweet of you Inuyasha." kagome said giving him a smile of appreciation.
Remembering what he was told last night he decided not to respond with his normal feh. "It was nothing just had to let her know that there's nothing to worry about." He said and walked back to his tree.
Kagome just stood there wondering where that came from and gave a wied look towards his retreating form but none the less her smile broadened to a full blown one and she whent off to help evryone else get ready.
About half hour later everyone had ate and were heading off and Kagome couldn't help but send Inuyasha weird glances all morning since the Eri incedent.
Miroku was walking behing Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, and Sango while taking in all the "scenery" he could get before they slapped him, while Shippou and Kirara were ahead of the girls playing aroung and tackling each other every now and then throwing each other off the path and into a bush just to go right back on track and do it all over again. Inuyasha and Kagome were walking side by side infront of every body else. Kagome was still giving him weird glances.
Inuyasha had been catching those weird glances and was beginning to get irritated by them. "what?!" he asked sounding a little bit more harsh than he intended it to sound.
" Sorry, I just can't get over how you handled Eri this Morning."
"Oh come on it wasn't that weird." He said.
"Yes it was, your never that reasonable."
"Feh, it was only a one time thing so don't start getting any ideas. Besides I had to say something to get her to stop crying." He added as a quick cover up. Kagome just smiled up at him and kept on walking and enjoying the scenery around her.
Meanwhile, some one elses scernery was about to change. Sango and the girls were laughing and talking when Sango looked back to see Miroku admiring the 'scenery'. She glared at him and imiedatley brought her weapon over his head and knocked him out. The girls stopped and looked back at Sango who looked away innocently like she never did anything. The girls just giggled and walked on. Sango rolled her eyes and walked over to the monk who was sprawled out on the dirt. "Guess I shouldn't of hit him so hard, but it's not like he didn't deserve it." She grummbled and called Kirara over to carry him since she wasn't about to carry the lech. She lifeted him onto Kirara and walked beside her to make sure he didn't fall off.
Shippou being left alone jumped onto Ayumi's shoulder. "So when is this dare thing going to take place?" he asked.
"Well we have to wait till the right time to start the game, but I'll let you know when that time comes." Ayumi said.
"Yeah, I think there a little too qiuet. We should wait till they start argueing or something cause then there's no way Inuyasha would resist a challenge when his blood is boiling." Yuka said looking ahead of her at Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Oh, speaking of Inuyasha, I had a talk with him last light." Eri said with a grin on. "And I think our little love struck puppy has finally started to actually think about his choices."
Shippou looked at her in complete shock. "Wow, I never thought he could actually think! That's amazing! Did you use some kind of magic or something? How did you do it?"
Eri giggled and started telling them about her coversation with Inuyasha. After she was done Ayumi and Yuka shared there ideas for the dares and what to do with Miroku.
~*~
they had stopped for a short lunch that was cut even shorter when Inuyasha started complaining about being set back a whole day and having to make up for lost time.
The girls were hot, sweaty, tired and most of all aching from their long day of traveling all over fuedal era Japan. It was nearly sunset and to the girls relief Inuyasha announced that he was going to start looking for a place to camp out for the night and eased up on the hard trecking.
"You guys alright?" Kagome asked while Sango mirrored her concern as well. The girls were way to tired to even talk right so they just shook there heads in response.
Kagome smiled at them and Sango just patted there backs in comfort. "it's alright, you guys will get use to it after a while." Sango said and walked on ahead. Miroku by now had already regained consciousness and was back to his lechery.
"You know ladies what I always find soothing to do when it's this hot is to take off my shirt and fan myself with it." He said smiling innocently.
All three girls looked back at him and glared for all they were worth.
"Okay then, maybe not." He said and backed away.
"Hey, I'm going to go see if Inuyasha has found a place yet so I'll be back in a minute." Kagome said and ran up ahead to catch up to Inuyasha.
"Hey Inuyasha we need to find a place to stay real soon cause the girls are way too tired." Kagome said after catching up to him.
"It's not my fault their tired! They shouldn't even be HERE in the first place! And quit nagging me, that's the third time you've told me that within the last ten minutes! Unless YOU whant to do all the tracking." (they need to find a place near water. ^_~) Inuyyasha said smirking knowing that she knew nothing about tracking a proper spot to rest.
Kagome eyes widend and it turned into a glare. "No thanks! Any ways you don't have to be such a jerk! I'm only worried about my friends!" she retorted.
"Jerk?! JERK?! Well I wouldn't be a jerk if it wasn't for your stupid nagging!!"
all three girls instantly snapped there attention to the hanyou and the miko who had finally gone into an argument.
"Hey they finally started argueing."shippou said poping up from behind yuka's shoulder. "Okay, you guys ready?" Ayumi asked. She received a nod from all three and nodded herself for confirmation. "Okay then let operation 'KI' comence."
They walked over to the argueing dual. Sango noticed and turned over to Miroku who pulled his hand away from her behind just in time before he was caught. She glared at him but pointed out the other four walking towards Inuyasha and Kagome. "What do you think their up to houshi?" she asked.
"I don't know but it doesn't look like their going to do something very smart." He said watching the girls and shippou carefully.
"idoit!"
"wench!"
"stupid!"
"bitch!"
"Hey guys what's up?" Yuka said when she approached. Inuyasha just stared at her with a completely confused and surprised face at seeing them which then turned into a scawl that showed he was suspicious of them in such a way.
"What do you whant?!" he yelled.
"Wanna play truth or dare?"

"You do this often?" came a voice that made him nearly jump out of his skin and almost wake the others. He looked around wide eyed making sure no one woke up and brouht them back on the person who had caught him red handed and glared for all he was worth.

"I've known Kagome since the third grade and just to put one your thoughts at ease, Kagome is not the type a person to reject any one, she has always excepted every one no matter what they were, looked like, acted like, or any thing and your no different from those people.

"that will teach her." He mumbled while jumping up into his tree which was a fair distance from the hut to ponder some more on his thughts.
Eri had stiffend at his words and thought that was a low down dirty trick to play and he knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep all night because of it.
"This is going to be a long night." She mummbled to herself as she looked around once more for the crazy sombrero wearing, hot suace carring cocoroach.

"Eri, you stayed up all night didn't you!" kagome said the next morning when she woke up and saw that Eri was making breakfast. "You can't lie to me either cause I know your not a morning person." She said with a yawn.

Eri just wailed even harder and suceeded on waking every one else up.

Shippou being left alone jumped onto Ayumi's shoulder. "So when is this dare thing going to take place?" he asked.
"Well we have to wait till the right time to start the game, but I'll let you know when that time comes." Ayumi said.
"Yeah, I think there a little too qiuet. We should wait till they start argueing or something cause then there's no way Inuyasha would resist a challenge when his blood is boiling." Yuka said looking ahead of her at Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Oh, speaking of Inuyasha, I had a talk with him last light." Eri said with a grin on. "And I think our little love struck puppy has finally started to actually think about his choices."

The girls were hot, sweaty, tired and most of all aching from their long day of traveling all over fuedal era Japan. It was nearly sunset and to the girls relief Inuyasha announced that he was going to start looking for a place to camp out for the night and eased up on the hard trecking.
"You guys alright?" Kagome asked while Sango mirrored her concern as well. The girls were way to tired to even talk right so they just shook there heads in response.
Kagome smiled at them and Sango just patted there backs in comfort. "it's alright, you guys will get use to it after a while." Sango said and walked on ahead. Miroku by now had already regained consciousness and was back to his lechery.
"You know ladies what I always find soothing to do when it's this hot is to take off my shirt and fan myself with it." He said smiling innocently.
All three girls looked back at him and glared for all they were worth.
"Okay then, maybe not." He said and backed away.
"Hey, I'm going to go see if Inuyasha has found a place yet so I'll be back in a minute." Kagome said and ran up ahead to catch up to Inuyasha.
"Hey Inuyasha we need to find a place to stay real soon cause the girls are way too tired." Kagome said after catching up to him.
"It's not my fault their tired! They shouldn't even be HERE in the first place! And quit nagging me, that's the third time you've told me that within the last ten minutes! Unless YOU whant to do all the tracking." (they need to find a place near water. ^_~) Inuyyasha said smirking knowing that she knew nothing about tracking a proper spot to rest.
Kagome eyes widend and it turned into a glare. "No thanks! Any ways you don't have to be such a jerk! I'm only worried about my friends!" she retorted.
"Jerk?! JERK?! Well I wouldn't be a jerk if it wasn't for your stupid nagging!!"
all three girls instantly snapped there attention to the hanyou and the miko who had finally gone into an argument.
"Hey they finally started argueing."shippou said poping up from behind yuka's shoulder. "Okay, you guys ready?" Ayumi asked. She received a nod from all three and nodded herself for confirmation. "Okay then let operation 'KI' comence."
They walked over to the argueing dual. Sango noticed and turned over to Miroku who pulled his hand away from her behind just in time before he was caught. She glared at him but pointed out the other four walking towards Inuyasha and Kagome. "What do you think their up to houshi?" she asked.
"I don't know but it doesn't look like their going to do something very smart." He said watching the girls and shippou carefully.
"idoit!"
"wench!"
"stupid!"
"bitch!"
"Hey guys what's up?" Yuka said when she approached. Inuyasha just stared at her with a completely confused and surprised face at seeing them which then turned into a scawl that showed he was suspicious of them in such a way.
"What do you whant?!" he yelled.
"Wanna play truth or dare?"
