It was a cool and breezy night in Japan. There was no moon out tonight and all the usual noisy creatures were strangely quiet. Kagome, her 4 usual friends, and Hojo were all playing truth or dare in a large camping tent in her backyard, their only light source being a flashlight.
"Okay, so whose turn is it now?" asked an excited Yumi. "Mine, it's my turn! "Squealed Mia. The night had been pretty uneventful, nobody was brave enough to pick dare so far, and they all kept chickening out and choosing truth. "Okay...Kagome, truth or dare?" Kagome knew her friends too well to even think about choosing dare, especially with Hojo there. There wasn't anything her friends didn't already know about her anyways, so she felt she was safe with truth. "I chose truth." She said sounding confident with a smirk. All the girls let out a disappointed sigh, and then Mia thought of something sneaky. Kagome wouldn't be too happy about it, but it was about time for some fun she thought.
"Alright Higurashi, tell us, do you like Hojo as much as he likes you?" Kagome and Hojo instantly turned bright red. 'Oh my god, what is she doing, she knows I don't like Hojo anymore than a friend. I can't say no, I don't want to hurt his feeling, plus that would be so embarrassing for him. I can't say yes either, I don't want to lead the poor guy on. Gees what do I do?' She came out of her thoughts then realizing her defeat and said with a sigh "Okay fine dare." Her friends all squealed in unison, except for Hojo who was still blushing.
"Okay, you and Hojo have to go down into that spooky well together." Mia said with an evil grin. 'Okay that doesn't sound too bad, a little scary but it could have been worse.' Kagome and Hojo were getting ready to leave the tent when another one of her friends added "But you have to stay down there for two whole minutes and make out the entire time!" Once again the two victims were blushing, only this time a lot brighter, they were practically glowing. Kagome quickly spun around. "Come on, get serious, that's kind of pushing it don't you think!" She shouted, Hojo looking slightly embarrassed but still blushing. "What's the matter Kagome, are you too chicken, can't handle it." Her friends continued taunting her as her eye began to twitch in anger, her hands now formed into tight fists.
"Fine!" She yelled then stormed out of the tent with Hojo's hand in hers, dragging him behind as they made their way to the shrine with the well. The girls quickly followed after them. "We don't have to do this if you really don't want to Kagome." Hojo said, sounding a little disappointed at Kagomes angry reaction to the dare. Kagome felt a little guilty then. She could imagine how he must feel seeing how objecting she was to the whole thing. 'He must think I can't stand him' she thought to herself. She cheered up then for his sake, it was only one kiss, a very long kiss, but she'd get through it just fine she thought. After all, he was a pretty cute guy.
"It's alright Hojo, we'll show them." She said cheerfully, now walking at a calm pace, still holding his hand. They stood at the entrance to the shrine when the girls came up behind them. "Here Kagome put this on." Mia was holding out pink, strawberry flavored lipstick. "Now Hojo better have more of this on than you by the time you guys come out or else you'll have to go back in for another two minutes and do it right. " Kagome winced at the girls then snatched the lipstick from Mia's hand and carefully put it on. She grabbed Hojo's hand again and went inside the well house. They both sat on the edge of the well with their legs hanging inside. They looked at each other for a moment, and then stared into the darkness of the seemingly bottomless well. They each took a deep breath then jumped down into the well.
