Chapter Seven
Dress Up
"M-My fe-feelings for you?" Kagome stammered. "Well, I-I like you, Koga…"
"Do you love me?" Koga asked.
"That's not an authorized question!" Inuyasha yelled. "You can only ask one question!"
"Shut up, I just want to know. If you don't want to hear, then cover your ears you mongrel. Kagome?" Koga said.
"Um, I-I don't really k-know, Koga." Kagome said, not looking at him, but at her shoes. She did know, she loved Inuyasha, but she couldn't say that. It just wasn't proper, not while everyone was there. And she didn't want to hurt Koga's feelings. She looked up to see Koga watching her.
Koga continued to study Kagome, then said, "It's okay. Next!"
"You damn wolf!" Inuyasha yelled. "Why the hell did you have to ask her that?"
"Shut up!" Koga said again. "Next!"
"Miroku, truth or dare?"
"Dare,"
"I dare you to kiss Sango." Kagome said. Hmph. Sango butts into my personal life, I'll butt into hers. She thought.
"Gladly!" Miroku said happily. "Remember, Sango, no hitting!"
Sango blushed beat red, and glared at Kagome, who smirked. "F-Fine," she said.
Miroku grinned and then kissed Sango. After only ten seconds he pulled away, still smiling. The rest of the group stared at him.
"Th-That was quick." Kagome said. Inuyasha, Shippo, and Koga all nodded. Sango was still to shocked to move or speak.
"Yes, well, I've decided to reform my ways." Miroku said, placing a hand on his heart, and shutting his eyes. Opening them, he noticed the rest staring peculiarly at him, with heads tilted. "What? You don't believe I can do it?" The group gave skeptical looks. "Oh, okay, fine, maybe I won't, but I am trying to be-be better, only so that Sango will marry me!" he said, taking her hands in his. "Sango, please, bear my child, and marry me?"
"Doesn't he mean to say it the other way around?" Kagome muttered to Inuyasha.
"You can never know with Miroku." the hanyou said.
Sango meanwhile, had regained her composure and had lifted a hand up to strike the monk, when she remembered her dare. She clenched her hand into a fist, and turned away, looking at Kagome, who nodded and slapped Miroku for her. "Be more sensitive. Why would anyone want to bear your child first?" Kagome said.
Miroku put a hand on his cheek, and said, "It-It hurts. The pain I go through for the sake of love…"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Well, my turn, right?" Miroku said. "Alright, Inuyasha, truth or dare?"
"Dare, fool, you know that." Inuyasha huffed.
"Okay then! I dare you to kiss Koga." Miroku said.
"WHAT?" Inuyasha and Koga yelled at the same time.
"NO WAY IN HELL will I kiss that flea-bag!" Inuyasha said.
"For once I agree with the mongrel!" Koga said. "I WILL NOT kiss that pathetic pup!"
"Who're you calling pathetic?" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha, you have to do it, it's a dare. I didn't know you were scared of a kiss." Miroku said.
"Miroku, if you want to live…" Inuyasha said threateningly, putting at hand on his sword.
"My live may be lived just to see this." Miroku said. "Come on, I didn't think either of you would back away from a dare. Maybe I was wrong about you both. Apparently you're both just chickens…"
The words struck. We all know that neither Inuyasha nor Koga like being insulted.
"Miroku!" they yelled.
"Fine! I-I'll do it! Kagome, forgive me!" Koga said. "I'll show that monk I'm no chicken."
"I ain't afraid. Damn Miroku to hell, he'll pay for this…" Inuyasha said.
The half-demon and wolf-demon turned to each other and without further ado, kissed really really really fast on the lips. Within a millisecond, they had moved as far away from theother as possible, wiping at their mouths.
"Argh!" Inuyasha said. "I've got flea-bag all over!"
"Like it's all dandy to have puppy taste!" Koga said.
Miroku was laughing. "That was priceless!" he said. The two demons glared at him and he stopped abruptly, now actually scared for his life. "U-Umm, I-Inuyasha, it-it is your turn,"
"Good. Payback time." Inuyasha said. "Miroku, truth or dare? And know that if you pick truth, I'll kill you."
"Fine, dare!" Miroku said, thinking it better to go through humiliation and or torture than actual death. If he died, he couldn't be with Sango anymore, and he didn't want that!
"I dare you to dress up like a girl for the rest of the game. If we meet anyone, you've got to pretend you're a girl and talk and act like one." Inuyasha said.
"A girl?" Miroku said. "Tha-That's outrageous! And besides, where am I gonna get a girl's outfit?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and Sango. They grinned, thinking this was wonderful. "Does that answer your question? Now, come on monk, you're not scared are you? I think you'll make a wonderful girl, then you can marry yourself." Inuyasha said.
"Fine." Miroku said, relenting after awhile. "What do I need? Ah, Sango, can I pretty please wear one of your dresses?"
"No way!" Sango said. "Kagome's got spares, were one of hers!"
"But Sango, I want to wear yours! Please, pweetie pweetie pwease??" Miroku cooed.
"Never!" Sango said.
"Yeah, Sango, let him wear yours. I don't want him in my outfits. Besides, all of mine are short, imagine Miroku in one of those. No, wait, that's even funnier. Nevermind." Kagome said. She pulled out a spare school uniform, the small green skirt and white top. She pulled out some makeup and a brush. They'd have to put his hair out of his ponytail to make him look more like a girl. "Time for dress up, Miroku." She said.
Miroku went and changed. Then, Sango and Kagome made him up, adding some eye shadow, lipstick, and blush. They brushed his hair down and then, returned to the group. After just a second, Inuyasha and Koga roared with laughter.
"It's not funny!" Miroku said in a high-pitched voice. "I think that I'm a very beautiful girl!"
More laughter.
"Stop it! Stop it!" he cried.
Even more laughter.
Miroku gave up. "Inuyasha, I thank you for the horrid dare." he said and curtsied like a girl.
This made Inuyasha and Koga laugh even more. Not exactly what Miroku had in mind. "Shut up!" he said, forgetting his high-pitched girly voice. "It's my turn to choose, right? Koga, truth or dare?"
"Truth." Koga said, knowing the monk was aching for revenge and didn't want to chance it.
Miroku said, returning to his girl voice, "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" (It's a stupid question, but I can't think of anything right now. It's late and I'm tired…oO)
"Um, y-yes…" Koga said. "Kagome, I'm sorry!"
"What for?" Kagome said, having not been paying attention.
"But you're my one true love!"
"Stop saying that!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Koga, what are you talking about?"
"I'll always love you!"
"I told you to STOP!"
"They're at it again." Miroku said in his girly voice to Sango.
"You know, you make um, a very interesting girl…" Sango said giggling.
"Oh, dear Sango," Miroku said, taking her hands in his again. "What must of think of me? A man dressed as a woman?"
"I'm thinking you're still the same perverted monk." Sango said. "Just with a-a girly side."
"Does that mean you like me more?" Miroku said hopefully. "Because I'm not afraid of dressing up as a girl?"
"Or course not! It's just funny that's all!" Sango said. "You guys, we've stopped, let's keep on walking."
"Right! This damn game's taking our concentration off of the shards!" Inuyasha said.
"Yes, but it's much more fun, now! I mean, could you get Miroku to dress like a girl otherwise?" Kagome said.
"I suppose not. Hey, monk, choose!" Inuyasha said.
"Oh, yes. Kagome, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Kagome said.
"Wonderful. I dare you to, at the next town we go to, to run around naked screaming 'I'm a demon!'"
"What?!" Kagome exclaimed. "No way will I do that!"
"But you've gotta!" Miroku said. "It's a dare."
"You letch! You're just saying this to see Kagome naked!" Inuyasha and Koga roared.
Miroku gave a feigned hurtful expression. "I would never do that." he said.
"I'll do it." Kagome said. "But with my clothes on."
Miroku gave a sad sob, but didn't object. Kagome hoped it'd be a long, long, time until they reached a village and everyone had forgotten this dare.
"Inuyasha, truth or dare?" Kagome said.
"Truth." the hanyou said.
"Do you really like me, or am I just a replacement for Kikyo?"
