Inutori: I don't OWN Inuyasha; I merely use him as a hired servant.  He gets paid a penny a day, so therefore cannot be called my slave.  I told him that he wouldn't have to serve me if he could give me a million dollars; and being is that his only income is I; he has a long ways to go…

Inuyasha: You wench, take the ropes off my hands then!

Inutori: No way hozea!  I definitely ain't risking my life for the sake of your honor!

Inuyasha: How much is a million?

Inutori: Well, considering you've saved up less than a dollar already…it will take you, oh, say…280,112 years to buy your freedom.

Inuyasha: *unmentionable curses*

Chapter 9

Slumber Party Part 1

Sango couldn't contain her laughter by the ending credits.  She had obviously enjoyed the movie a little too much.  But then again, you can't enjoy Captain Jack Sparrow too much, can you?

So the two girls left the theatre with stupid grins on their faces.  What had made the evening even better was when an employee from the theatre dragged Miroku out of the theatre by his ear.  That was indeed a hilarious sight to behold.

The two were soon back at Kagome's apartment where they settled down to chatter.

"Kagome, let's play a game."

"Did you have one in mind?"  Kagome looked at Sango mid spoonful of chocolate ice cream. 

Sango got a devious smile on her face, making Kagome slightly nervous.  "Yeah, I have one in mind, but you have to say you'll play it first."

"Fine, fine, I'll play, now what is it?"

"Truth or dare."  Sango's smile got even bigger as she watched Kagome's expression turn to one of horror.

"Aren't we a bit old for that game?"

"No."

Kagome hesitated.  "It's not really that fun with only two people playing, you know."

"That's OK, I'm sure we'll make due."  Sango's eyes seemed to be gleaming with vengeful delight as she looked at Kagome.

The twenty-year-old miko backed up slightly and sweat-dropped.  "Ehehehe."

"I start.  Truth or dare?"

"Um…Truth?"  Kagome bit her lip, hoping that Sango wouldn't pry too far into Kagome's mind.

"Hehe…Are you in love with Inuyasha?"  A glint of amusement sparkled in her eye.

"N-nani?"  Kagome felt a light blush tint her cheeks.  "I've known him for a week!  How could I be in love with him?"  Her bowl of ice cream was nearly dropped on the floor in Kagome's shock, but the miko was able to recover before that happened.

"You're not supposed to answer in a question.  Are you in love with him or not?"

Kagome took in a deep breath, feeling her cheeks burn an unbearable temperature.  "I don't think I love him.  I think I might have a small crush on him, but that's it."  She waved her hands in front of her face in defense.  "OK, my turn-"

"Dare."

"Um…I dare you to call Miroku-sama and tell him that you're madly in love with him and you'd love to bear his child."

Sango's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets before she was able to cover.  "Sorry, can't, since I don't have that lecher's phone number."

"That's OK," Sango sighed, relieved at Kagome's cheery comment, "I have his number on my class registry.  He rooms with Inuyasha, so they'll have the same number.

"Do I have to say who I am?" 

Kagome violently shook her head.  "You'd probably have a permanent stalker if you did that, and I'm not that cruel."

Sango nodded, now regretting ever suggesting playing this blasphemous game.  "OK, where's the phone?"

Kagome squealed in excitement, trying to hold back her surfacing laughter.  "Here…and here's the phone number."

The tajiya took a deep breath, preparing for her world to come crashing down around her.  She dialed the number slowly and placed the receiver against her ear.

"Hello, is Miroku-chan there?…Oh, it is?…Well, I was just calling to inform you that I'm totally in love with you and I'd gladly bear your children…Why do you want my address?…"  Sango jerked the phone away from her ear and turned bright red.  She immediately hung up the phone.  Her gaze turned to Kagome and an evil glare took over her face.   "I am NEVER playing truth or dare with you again."

Kagome merely smiled.  "You're the one who suggested it.  I told you that we were too old for this game."

Miroku hung up the phone with a stupid grin on his face.  Inuyasha looked up from his channel surfing to glare at the perverted monk.

"Oi, who was the wench on the phone?"

The shorthaired man, being his usual self, just smiled at Inuyasha and proceeded to open up the yellow pages.  Inuyasha stood up and glanced at the caller ID.  It said CALLER UNKNOWN 612-478-6341.  The he looked over Miroku's shoulder to see him scanning through all of the phone numbers.  It was a great strain for Inuyasha not to fall over at the stupidity of the situation.

"You're not going to find it.  Do you know how many freakin' people live in Tokyo?"

Miroku seemingly ignored him and continued his search.  Two hours and a really ticked off half-demon later, Miroku shouted as he found the number he had been so diligently searching for.  Inuyasha quickly scanned the page.  Higurashi, Kagome.

"Where in blazes do you think you're going?"

The young monk looked back at Inuyasha with a smile.  "To answer my call at 235 West Cierra Apartment Complex."

A certain dog-eared hanyou got a bad feeling about that address, but he couldn't place it, so he glanced back at the page the phone book was still open to.  Higurashi, Kagome.  235 W Cierra Comp.  478-6341.

"Oi, houshi, I'm coming too."

"Inuyasha, we can't both get action from one girl."

Miroku found his entire body flattened to the floor in less than a second.  "Pervert, I'm going to make sure YOU aren't going to go rape some ugly wench."  'MY ugly wench…ugh, where'd that come from?'

Inutori: Hey all you peoples.  I want to get up to 50 reviews with this new chapter; do you think you guys could help me?

Kagome: If Inuyasha and Miroku take even one step into my apartment I'll personally pummel them into bits of grain.

Sango: I'll help you, Kagome.

Inutori: *cough* Well, I have a question for the reviewers, should I change my penname to Torineko to erase some confusion in my head, or should I just stick with Inutori?  Tell me in your reviews.  Oh, and another question, do people want characters like Fluffly, Kikyou, and Kouga to play more major roles, or do you want them to remain only mentioned or making brief appearances?  Anyways, go review and give me your ideas, they are most certainly welcome, since I only have a vague idea of where I want to take this story.
