Chapter Eleven

TWO WEEKS LATER...

The gang was circled around a fire created by Jai resting. Jai and Arkai's wounds were healed and it was all thanks to Kira, Raven, Reilon, Aki, and Yukina's healing powers. Kira was kneeling next to Hiei with her arms over him right appendage. Hiei winced slightly as the therapeutic energy went into his arm. Kira looked up to him and sighed as she took away her hands, "Well' the rest is on it's own. That is all I can do. I'm sorry." Hiei looked up to her, "It is fine. " Kira smiled and helped him up. "Let's go to the others." Hiei stared at her. "Why?" Kira grinned but didn't say anything. She clutched his ood arm and dragged him over to the fire. The rest of the group began to form a cylinder around the circle to let the two in. Arkai noticed the sorrow in the group and decided to cheer them up. He thought for a moment and then leapt up. "He every one! Lets play truth or dare!" Everyone seemed to brighten up. Chu jumped up and down exited like but was then stopped by Hiei. "Stop dancing you fool, It is sickening!" Chu scowled at the demon but sat down embarrassed. Suddenly behind them came a voice. "Can we join?" Kira turned happily to see a group of demons standing off in the darkness. "Kras!" She piped as she ran to her other brother. The male Kitsune wrapped him arms around her. Behind him stood a she-cat, a dog demon, and some others. (I'll tell you their names eventually) Kras turned to the female cat. "o you will come back right?" The she-cat nodded and took off with the others besides another dog demon. She stepped forward. Her hair was held over a band that streaked across her forehead. Her black hair held blue highlights and her brown eyes gleamed in the moonlight. "Hello Kira!" She yipped. Kira smiled and hugged the dog. "It's good to see you again Pepper. Is that Raki behind you?" A pug demon stepped out into the on light. His orange hair resembled Suzakus. (Four saint beasts.) He had small folded black velvet ears poking out of his head. He nodded to Kira and walked over to the group. "SO where is the food?" He chirped. Kira shook her head. "Pig pug."

Kras smiled and ran after the pug along with Pepper and Kira. Once they arrived Kira's group jumped up and greeted their friends. Kira introduced the new demons to Yusuke's group so they wouldn't be confused. Yusuke immediately took a liking to Pepper and Kras, along with the rest . They were a little disgusted by the way Raki was licking the ground for food. The three joined in on the circle. Yusuke took the liberty of explaining the game to those demons who didn't know the game.

"SO every one get it?" Kurama smiled

The group nodded. Azural shook his head, "Umm who is going o start?" Yusuke reached up and cheered, 'I will!"

The group nodded and Yusuke started. He peered around the large group for a victim, er yeah victim. His eyes laid on Azural. "Azural... truth or dare?" Azural smiled, "Dare me baby!" Yusuke grinned evilly and rubbed his hands together. "Excellent." Azural jolted up. "What? Yusuke, why are you staring at me so mad like?" Yusuke got up and pointed his fingers at Azural and Raisi. "I dare you and Raisi to duke it out with what ever you want for two minutes. Who ever wins gets to kiss which ever girl they wish!" Azural peered at Aki and smiled. "OKAY!!!" Raisi was enraged for he saw the look in Azurals eyes when he looked at his love. "Fine! I will win!" Azural snorted, "So what shall the rules be? We fight with hands and swords?" Raisi pondered and then smirked, "Hey Azural you should get that sword of yours... what is its name... umm Cupcake knife?"

Azural twitched angrily and charged at Raisi, who was laughing his ass off and didn't even notice, until Azural's hand wrapped around his neck and he went flying into a tree. Azural lifted the ferret up as Raisi tried desperately to break free. But then a voice sounded from the group. It was sighlent yet confused. Aki scratched her head, "Isn't the sword called Biscuit?" Azural smiled, "That's right my sweet tulip!" Raisi took his chance and flicked out his claws and drove them into Azurals arm. "WEEEOUCH!" Azural screeched enraged. He rubbed his arm angrily. He turned to see Raisi smiling and whipping blood off his claws. Azural leapt at the demon and they rolled around on the ground until they came to a large tree and bashed into it. CRACK! Azural and Raisi turned up to see the tree toppling over. They both looked at eachother and epped. "SHIT!" BANG The tree landed on the two.

Chapter Twelve

Once Azural and Raisi were pulled out from under the tree they sat spirally eyes waiting for the finally verdict. The group consulted together. Yusuke stepped forward and used a rock as a hammer thingy. He banged the rock against a tree stump. "Here yee here yee. We of the umm, Kiwi Cult and we do so say that the winner of this fight is... (Dramatic music.)

NO ONE!!!"

Azural came out of his daze. "Objection!"

Yusuke sneered, "Over ruled!"

"Damn you!"

"BAYLIF TAKE CARE OF THIS DEMON!" A long silence followed. Yusuke turned angrily to Jin. "BAYLIF?"

Jin took his finger out of his nose, "Wha? Oh... K!"

He walked over to Azural and smiled. Azural peered up to him, "What exactly are you going to do?"

Jin stuck his finger in his mouth and shouted, "WET WILLY!!!!"

"Wet What? AIIIIIIIIIII EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Azural batted the air as Jin twirled his wet finger in his ear. He popped it out and walked away whistling an Irish song. Some thing like 'I'll that the high road and you'll take the low road'.

Azural shivered and rubbed his ear. "Bastard!"

Yusuke concealed his laughter and went on with his speech. "The fight lasted only One minute and Fifty Nine seconds!"

Raisi cocked his head. "Only one second?"

"Yep!"

"Baka, ningen!"

Yusuke stuck out his toung and turned to Azural. "Your turn."

Azural was about to speak but he turned to see some demons walking towards them. He got up happily. "Kar, Chiadu, Kass!"

The three demons were in the front of the group. The one named Kar walked up to greet Azural. "Hello! We thought that you would be here so we checked and left again for some e treats."

"What cha got?"

The whole groups eyes widened as each member of the newcomers pulled out a bottle of beer and wine. The old group chanted happily, "Bee, beer, beer1" The new group took their places next to the rest as Kira named them off.

The newy's...

Chiadu, The dog demon, who has light brown hair with black tips and brown eyes He's fifteen years old,... in human years.

Kass, who is a human like Yusuke. He has black thick hair with brown eyes.

Hiruko, a male cat demon with red-orange hair and yellow-green eyes.

Reika, another cat demon yet a girl with red-orange hair and green eyes.

Tarons, A panther demon male who has deep blue and silver hair with blue eyes. (His hair stands up like Hiei's but shorter)

Lark Scarlet, demoness with blonde, blood stained hair and empty black.

Nekura, a wind apparition with red-orange hair and blue eyes. (Almost identical to Jin.) She doesn't have a horn though.

Kar- a coyote demon male who has sand colored hair that covers his left eye and tan eyes.

Ambiesian... AKA: Ambi, A female leopard demon with orange hair and black splotched in it. Her eyes are of gold and green.

Kipcha, A Lynx demon with short blonde hair and blue eyes

Khaz- (I know this is a lot but bare with me) The only cheetah demon left in the world. He has cheetah spotted hair of blonde and Black filled eyes.

Chiadu walked over along with Kar and Tarons to Pepper. Pepper happily greeted her friends and scooted over to make room for them. The rest sat down spaced out in the cluster of demons. Kar piped up, "So what are we doing?" Azural stood up and gestured with this hands, "We are playing Truth or Dare and it is my turn." Kar nodded and went sighlent. Azural looked around deviously and caught sight of a beer bottle Kass was holding. He thought for a moment and smiled, "I have an idea. We will go around in a circle and ask a question. Everyone has to respond by drinking a sip of beer, vodka

exedra." Everyone nodded on delight and readied themselves for the game. Azural thought for a second and smiled. "Okay drink to the question... How many beings have you killed? I'll start." He tipped back the bottle that Kass had and sipped two nips. He passed it on to Yusuke who tipped it back and sipped. The whole group went through it till it came to Kira. She tilted the bottle and sipped and then passed it to Hiei who stared at the drink questionably. "What is this vile stuff?" He sniffed the fluid skeptically. Kira smiled and shoved the bottle into his mouth. Hiei snorted and choked a bit but then a slight grin showed on his face. He gulped... and gulped... and gulped until he leaned back and fell to the ground with an empty bottle. Kira and the rest peered at him with blank faces. Hiei sat up and licked his lips. Raven got up and walked over to the demon. "How many beings did you kill?" Hiei looked up to her with a scowling face, "I lost count at three million."

Chiadu leaned over to Pepper, "Maybe we should have told him that

you aren't suppose to drink more than two sips at a time."

Pepper nodded in amazement. "For sure."

Hiei looked at the empty bottle and shook it angrily. Kira closed her eyes and opened them in astonishment. She reached over and took the bottle from Hiei and set it down. "Umm Hiei?"

Hiei looked at her with wide eyes. "That was most good." He licked his lips and looked around for another bottle. "What? What do you want?" He turned back to Kira. Kira stared at him and shook her head. "Oh nothing." Hiei snorted and turned back to rest who's eyes were widened. "So aren't you demons going to go on with this game?" Azural stared blankly into space, "Ummmm maybe we should just play truth or dare." Everyone nodded but Hiei. He rather like the game that they were playing. Azural stood up and looked around the crowd. "Why don't we play strip GOLD FISH!!!!" Chiadu sniffed the air. "Umm okay." The rest exchanged looks and didn't object. Azural smiled and ran over to his bag. He threw out a flashlight, rubber ducky, a kiwi of doom, and... "Wait!" Bob ran over to recover the kiwi.

"Umm Bob, I was talking!"

"So?"

"Hey don't argue with me BAKA!"

"And what are you going to do? You're the story teller. What can you do?"

"I can kill you off if I really wanted to."

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Try me!"

"Bob! Are you arguing with the story teller?"

"No! Well yes but why does it matter Alume?"

"Kata can kill you off!"

"SHUT UP! Fine I will let it go... Stupid bakamono announcer. "

"I heard that!"

"Damn it!"

"Now back to the story."

Chiadu pulled out five decks of cards. "This should do." He smiled and walked over to Azural who took the cards and turned back to the group. "Okay, does aeveryone know how to pplay?" Everyone exept Hiei nodded. Azural shook his head in dismay at the fire demon. "Figures. Okay you take five cards and try to get doubles of the same number. You ask someone when it is your turn if they have a certain card. If thety say gofish than you have to take off an article of clothing, and take a sip of beer. Got it?" Hiei peered at the cards he wwas givin and slightly nodded. Azural gave out the cards and sat down next to Reilon.
