Disclaimer: You know how it goes…

Author's Note: I'M BACK!! I didn't think this story would actually get to three chapters, but hey, here we are at Chapter three, what is it called, oh Matters of the Heart. The title pretty much says it all. I really wish I could be in feudal Japan with the gang playing truth or dare. Man, that'd be pretty fun. But, I guess I'd just be drooling over Inuyasha, Koga, and Miroku instead of actually playing the game, hehe…yeah, I'm weird. But they are pretty hot, aren't they? No? Okay, then I guess I'm in my own boat here. sobs

Well, I'll shut up now, go read!

Chapter Three

Matters of the Heart

"Hmmm, what to pick? What to pick?" Miroku said thinking hard.

"Just chose already!" Inuyasha said, getting annoyed.

"Fine then." Miroku said. "Dare."

"Oh, I've got the perfect dare for you." Inuyasha said, an evil gleam in his eyes. "Miroku, for the rest of the game, I dare you to renounce your lecherous ways."

Miroku gasped. "What do you mean by that, Inuyasha?"

But before the hanyou could answer, Sango had slapped Miroku saying, "He means you can't be doing that!" Sango was blushing angrily. Apparently, Miroku had been groping her once again.

"No more lechery?" Miroku said, sounding as if it were a sin to renounce his ways. "Well, if it is for the game. Fine, Inuyasha, I accept your dare. No more--" here he gave a big sob, "lechery."

Kagome stared around the group thinking, Whoa. Inuyasha has to be nice to Koga, Miroku has to give up his lechery, it was definitely more fun to play truth or dare in feudal Japan than back home.

"Kagome, I pick you, truth or dare?" Miroku asked, pulling Kagome out of her thoughts.

"Oh, right. Um, truth." She said.

"Truth huh? Okay, what do you really feel when Inuyasha is with Kikyo?" Miroku asked.

Kagome stared angrily at him, but Miroku wasn't fazed. Crap,she thought. "Ummm, well…I-I…"

Inuyasha was looking directly at her, with an odd look on his face. "Come on Kagome, what do you feel?"

Kagome shot him a death glare. "If I must," she said, giving up. "I-I hate it. I-I feel jea-jealous." she said quickly and quietly, blushing, and looking at anything and anyone other than Inuyasha, who was still staring at her.

She's jealous? Of Kikyo? Why? "You are? Why?" he asked, before realizing it.

Kagome looked at him, finally meeting his gaze, but then quickly looked away. "Only one q-question, I-Inuyasha. Um, I pick Sango." she said.

"Hey, Kagome, answer me." Inuyasha said.

"No, I won't. You just learned something that I never wanted you to know. You are not getting anything more out of me, my lips are sealed." Kagome said. Never pick truth with these people. Especially since the guy you like is here! If I were back in my era, then it wouldn't matter. But Inuyasha's sitting right next to me. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!

"Truth, Kagome." Sango said.

"Again? Okay, then. Did you really like that Lord who proposed to you?" Kagome said.

"Lord? What-oh, him. Um, well, I guess, yeah, he was very handsome, and nice and…" Sango cut herself off when she saw Miroku's face.

"Aren't I handsome and nice?" he asked.

Sango blushed. "Well, I-I yeah, you-you are…" she said quietly.

Miroku smiled, and took her hands and said, "Sango.."

"No more LECHERY!!!" she exclaimed hitting him with his hiraikotsu.

Miroku twitched. "Oh, r-right. I-I f-forgot." he said.

"Koga, I pick you. Truth or dare?" Sango asked.

"Dare." the wolf-demon said.

"Okay, I dare you to pledge your undying love for Kagome." Sango said.

"Really? That's easy." Koga said.

Inuyasha got up to his feet once again. "What the hell's wrong with you Sango? Do you HAVE to pair that-that flea--I mean Koga, up with Kagome?"

"Of course. It's sooo amusing seeing you get all wound up." Sango said with a smile, while the monk and Shippo nodded fervently.

"Damn all of you! Why are you against me!" Inuyasha said.

"Against you for what, Inuyasha? You don't like Kagome, remember? You've got Kikyo. It shouldn't matter to you if we're pairing Kagome with Koga. He is afterall in love with her." Sango said.

Inuyasha gaped at her angrily and said, "Feh." and sat down again.

Koga meanwhile was telling Kagome how he felt about her, "…you are so strong and beautiful and smart and patient, especially the way you put up with the pup over here--" Inuyasha glared at him at that, "--and Kagome, you are just every wonderful thing on this earth and I love you very much. And don't worry, my Kagome--"

"Who are you calling MY Kagome?" Inuyasha said.

"--I will save you from him, just wait a while longer, until I defeat Naraku--"

"What do you mean YOU'RE gonna defeat him? I'M gonna defeat Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Umm, Koga, you can stop now…" Kagome said, not believing her ears as to how long he was going on about her. Though, it was sort of flattering. "But, thank you for your kind words."

"Oh? Of course, my love." Koga said.

"Stop saying that!" Inuyasha yelled, then he rounded on Kagome. "And what the hell do you mean, 'thank you for your kind words'? There you go again, flattering him and flirting with him! I'm getting sick of it! Are you in love with him Kagome?"

Kagome stood up and peered into Inuyasha's gold eyes. With her hands on her hips, she said, "Maybe I am? What's it to you?"

Inuyasha's jaw dropped. "Y-You-You really do? Y-You actually l-love K-Koga?" Inuyasha stammered, and then, instead of getting angry, he fell onto the ground, with a dazed confused look on his face. And, his ears lowered down and he looked sad. Inuyasha looked sad.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said, pulling at his hair. "Hello?"

"Kagome, you do love me!" Koga exclaimed excitedly, and then he kissed her.

This caused Inuyasha to snap back to reality and say, "Back away from her right now!"

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were watching the love-triangle with great interest. Nothing could beat this.
