Chapter 3: Spin the Bottle and Mistletoes
Everyone sat within the living room eating the delicious roast boar Kagome's grandfather had made with great liking. Of course, the mood became somewhat insane again when a few guests started fooling around. Inuyasha walked up to the boar with a fork and poked out its eyeball, turning to Sesshoumaru.
"Here! I dare you to eat it," Inuyasha said teasingly.
"Why would I do something like THAT!" Sesshoumaru took a step away from Inuyasha and the eyeball.
"I heard it could make you smarter."
"That's disgusting!"
"EAT IT!"
Inuyasha then started chasing Sesshoumaru around the room with the eyeball, laughing like a maniac.
"GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!" Sesshoumaru yelled as he looked back to see how close Inuyasha was.
Unfortunately, that was a bad idea. As he was looking back, Sesshoumaru smashed into a wall, falling to the floor. Inuyasha stood where he was for a moment, then started laughing hysterically. He then opened the window and tossed the eyeball out.
"HAHA! I can't believe he fell for that!" Inuyasha had a huge grin on his face.
"Poor guy," Karen said in an innocent tone.
"I can't believe he's afraid of eyeballs," Naraku said coldly.
"Come on, Naraku. There has to be SOMETHING you're afraid of," Kei said as he took a sip of coke.
"…… Yes… there is…"
"REALLY! WHAT IS IT!" Kagura was really eager to find out.
"…… I'm afraid of giant furry grapefruits…"
"Giant… Furry… Grapefruits…?" Kagura felt her mouth drop.
"Yeah… And naked kiwis."
Everyone looked at Naraku silently. It was so silent you could hear a cricket chirping.
"You're afraid of FRUITS!" Koga's face turned red as he tried to hold in his laugh.
"If you tell anyone, I'll be sure to kill the REST of your kin, Koga," Naraku said evilly.
Miina looked at Sesshoumaru, who now getting up from the floor with Inuyasha's help, and Naraku who was talking about his fear of fruits. She then thought of a great idea to liven up the party again. She walked into the kitchen dragging Karen along with her.
"Hey Karen… Do you know how to carve?"
"Carve?" Karen was really confused.
"Yeah. You know… Like carving a pumpkin."
"Yeah, I do."
Miina then took out a knife and a kiwi. She then handed it to Karen, who was clearly still confused.
"Peel the skin off of this kiwi and carve a scary face on it."
"Why would I do that?"
"Just do it!"
Karen tried her best to follow Miina's instructions. She peeled all of the skin from the kiwi and carved a face into it. However, it was far from a scary looking one.
"No! That's not a scary face," Miina said as she looked at Karen's kiwi, "You have to make it SCARY… Like this!"
Miina showed Karen a huge furry grapefruit she had been working on, its face definitely creepier looking. Karen quickly shielded her eyes and let out a loud shriek that made Miina wince.
"Calm down, Karen," Miina pleaded.
"But that thing is creepy!" Karen whined.
"It's just a fruit! We're gonna use them to scare that Naraku guy."
"That's so mean…"
"Not if you only do it to fool around."
Karen thought about it for a moment before she nodded her head in approval. Miina then grabbed both fruits and led Karen into the dinning room, where everything had settled down. She quietly crept up behind Naraku who was sitting quietly drinking some tea. She then took both of the fruits and waved them in his face, making ghostly noises.
Naraku spit out his tea and began to scream, "AHHHHHHHHHH! THE EVIL FURRY GRAPEFRUIT AND THE NAKED KIWI HAVE COME TO HAUNT ME!"
Naraku quickly stood up and ran around the room with Miina chasing him. She laughed hysterically as he finally crashed into a pillar and landed on the floor twitching uncontrollably. Karen ran over to the scene and looked at Miina with a serious face.
"That REALLY wasn't nice," Karen squealed.
Everyone in the room also burst out laughing, especially Kagura, who was on the floor holding her stomach since she was laughing so hard. Hakudoushi looked at Kagura and nudged her with his foot.
"You're so pathetic," he said in an emotionless tone.
"Hahaha! Oh come on! You know you wanna laugh too," Kagura choked out as she watched Hakudoushi's arms slightly moving up and down as he silently laughed.
DING DONG! DING DONG!
The doorbell suddenly rang out of nowhere. Kagome stood up and slowly walked over to it thinking 'who could that be?' When she opened it, a few more of her classmates stood there.
"Huh? Ichigo, Matagu, Hyosuke, Kaede, and Koishi!"
"Hi, Kagome," Kaede said, blushing a bit, "Sorry for barging in on your party like this… Ichigo suggested we come."
"Oh… Ok… Um, well, come on in."
Kagome had always wondered how Ichigo knew of all sorts of events and such. Ichigo simply said her 'information sources' were quite useful. Kei and Mizuho looked up as well when they saw the new guests and quickly scooted away from each other to make sure their secret wasn't found out.
"Holy crap," Hyosuke yelled, "Ms. Kazami is here too! This party couldn't possibly get any better!"
Kei turned red with anger as he thought about how stupid his friend was… but mostly because he was seriously jealous. And with Ichigo around, she would probably come up with some sort of game that would give him a chance to make a move. He took in a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Koishi also turned red when she saw that Kei was sitting in the living room and quickly turned away with a big smile. Kenshin casually walked up to her and tapped her shoulder. "Are you ok, Miss?"
"Y-y-yeah! I'm fine," Koishi stuttered in response.
"So, Ms. Kazami, what are you doing here?" Matagu asked curiously.
Mizuho felt herself shake as she tried her best to come up with an excuse, "W-w-well, um… I came over to the house to check up on Ms. Higurashi and see if she was feeling any better. Yeah! That's it! I wanted to check up on her. She then told me she was having a party tonight and her mother invited me to stay! Then, Mr. Kusanagi and the others showed up as party guests!"
"My… What a strange turn if events," Ichigo said in an emotionless tone, much like Hakudoushi's.
Shippo crept up to the stereo system and fiddled around with it until he could finally get some music to play. 'Grip!' by Every Little Thing began to play as he and all of the other guests began to dance, including Ichigo and her group.
As they danced, Ichigo walked over to Kagome and whispered, "Hey. Are you guys planning on playing any party games?"
"I dunno… Why?" Kagome asked.
"Well, I have a game you might find interesting."
"Really? What game?"
"Spin the bottle."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm… I guess that might be fun."
As soon as the song was over, Kagome turned down the volume and clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.
"We're planning on playing a round of spin the bottle," she said with a smile, "Anyone who wants to participate, sit in a circle around the living room."
"What's spin the bottle?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'll explain it in a minute," Kagome responded.
Once everyone was seated, Ichigo stood up to explain the rules, "Ok. Basically, all you need to do is spin this bottle on the ground. When the bottle stops, you have to kiss the person it's pointing to. Now, you have choices of how you can kiss the person: 1) Kiss their cheek, 2) Kiss their neck, or 3) Kiss their lips. Got it?"
"Got it," everyone said as they all began to blush a little bit.
"Ok. I'll go first," Miroku said with a big smile.
"Oh no you don't," Sango said as she held him back.
"I'll go," Shippo said as he grabbed the bottle.
He spun it as hard as he could as everyone leaned in to see where it would stop. After about 15 seconds, it finally stopped pointing at Kanna. Shippo gulped and slowly stood up, walking over to her. He looked at her for a moment as she stared back with no emotion. Leaning in, he simply kissed her cheek and walked back to his spot. Kanna still had the same emotionless look on her face, yet something was different. She was blushing!
"Wow," Hakudoushi said, watching Kanna, "I never thought she would thing anything of it."
"Who's next?" Ichigo asked.
"… I'll go," Kagura said.
Round and round the bottle spun. Another 15 seconds of anticipation went by before the finally stopped, pointing at Sesshoumaru. 'YES!' she thought.
She scooted towards Sesshoumaru slowly and leaned in, pressing her lips against his. Sesshoumaru's widened as he felt something such as that for the first time. Kagura calmly walked back to her spot and looked at him to see what his reaction was. Sesshoumaru simply smiled and blushed slightly.
"My turn!" Miina quickly grabbed the bottle and spun it around, watching it stop towards Matagu.
'Ewww… not him,' she thought as she stood up and walked over to him. She quickly kissed his cheek, barely touching him, and walked back to her spot as fast as she could.
"That's it?" Matagu asked, disappointed.
"Uh, yeah," Miina replied, crossing her arms.
"Let me try this," Inuyasha said as he too reached out for the bottle.
Kagome felt her heart skip a beat when she heard him. 'He has a huge chance of kissing someone else… like Kikyo!' she thought. She then put her head down, not wanting to pay attention anymore. Round and round the bottle spun until it finally came to a stop.
"Oh my," Sango said.
"He's gonna like this," Miroku said.
"It's about time," Shippo said.
'Who does he have to kiss?' Kagome thought. Slowly, she lifted her head and gasped when she saw the bottle was facing her. Her heart began to race as Inuyasha leaned in close to her and also kissed her lips. Everyone couldn't help but giggle as both of them turned as red as a tomato. Inuyasha then pulled away from her and wobbled back to his spot, still red. However, Kagome followed. She quickly ran over and knocked him down, kissing him again.
"WO!" Everyone yelled in surprise.
Kagome then rushed back to her spot and sat down with a bright smile. She felt a bit embarrassed, but she didn't care. She got to kiss Inuyasha! Inuyasha however didn't get up. He remained on the floor, knocked out from the shock with his eyes spiraling.
"I guess I'll take over," Ichigo said as she spun the bottle next.
Round and round the bottle spun, finally stopping and pointing to Jakotsu. Jakotsu just sat there and turned away, "I'm not gonna do it."
"Oh come one, Jakotsu," Bankotsu said with a menacing smile, "It won't be so bad."
"Yeah right!"
"You know you wanna kiss me," Ichigo said, teasingly.
"No I don't," Jakotsu said back.
Jakotsu tried to wiggle his way out of Ichigo's grasp as she pulled him close to her. She could tell he was seriously in an uncomfortable position, so she decided to tease him a bit. First she kissed his cheek, which made him wince in disgust. Next she kissed his neck once, which made him stumble back. Finally, she kissed his lips, which made him go nuts.
Jakotsu quickly stood up and ran around the room yelling, "GROSS! I WAS KISSED BY A GIRL! AAAAAAAACK! THE EVILNESS!"
Finally, he tripped and fell face-first, knocking out. Bankotsu walked up to him and dragged him back to his spot, reaching for the bottle to spin it next. When the bottle stopped spinning, it pointed to Mizuho. Kei naturally got defensive but bit his tongue to calm down so his secret wouldn't be exposed to his classmates. Luckily for him, Bankotsu just went for the cheek.
Next up was Maiku. He shut his eyes as he spun the bottle, wishing he hadn't participated in the game in the first place. When the bottle stopped, he yelled out in disgust.
"AH! NO! I DON'T WANNA KISS THAT DUDE!" Maiku shook his head violently.
"This is just wrong," Naraku said as he looked at the bottle that was pointing to him.
"Hahahahaha! This is priceless," Kagura yelled as she grabbed a camera.
"You have to do it," Ichigo said with an emotionless smile, "or else you'll have to perform a consequence."
"I'll go with the consequence," Maiku said desperately.
"Very well…"
Ichigo walked over to Maiku and Naraku, whispering the consequence into their ears. Both of them stumbled back and looked at Ichigo with a look of annoyance.
"Anything but THAT," they both yelled at once.
"It's either that, or the kiss," Ichigo replied.
"… Fine. We'll do it…"
Ichigo handed them both a bag and told them to go to the bathrooms to change. After about 5 minutes, Maiku and Naraku returned, looking ridiculous.
"Hahahahaha! This is even better!" Kagura was rolling on the floor laughing, along with everyone else including Kanna and Hakudoushi.
"… Hula outfits…?" Kagome looked at Ichigo with a huge smile on her face.
"Go ahead, guys," Ichigo said, "Perform the consequence."
Ichigo then put turned on some hula music. Both Maiku and Naraku began to blush with embarrassment as they started to hula dance. Everyone in room (except Jakotsu and Inuyasha, who were still knocked out) laughed and whistled as they watched with amusement.
When they finished, they rushed back to the bathrooms to change back into their normal clothes.
After a few more rounds, everyone decided to stop playing. Inuyasha and Jakotsu had also regained consciousness, wondering what was going on. Miina and Karen acted like DJ's and started messing with the stereo for music. Finally, they settled on "Second Flight" by KOTOKO.
"Hmm… Is this it?" Miroku spoke to himself as he looked at a small leaf with red berries on it.
After playing 'spin the bottle,' Miroku figured that if he couldn't get the chance to kiss his special someone by playing, he could resort to another method… the mistletoe. He then walked over to Sango who was dancing like everyone else and held it above her head.
"What are you doing?" Sango asked.
"Now you gotta kiss me," Miroku said with a smile, "I heard that if there are two people under a mistletoe, they have to kiss."
"Is that so?"
"Yup."
"Well then—"
Sango then leaned in and kissed him. Jakotsu watched in amusement, not at the couple, but at the mistletoe itself. He then thought of an idea that made him smile.
"That's it," Jakotsu said to himself, "That's how I can get Inuyasha to follow my orders!"
Jakotsu then searched around the house for another one, Bankotsu following close behind.
"What are you up to?" Bankotsu asked, "I know that smile."
"Heh heh! It's a secret," Jakotsu said as he found a mistletoe.
"What do you mean 'it's a secret'! You can't even tell your best friend?"
"Nope. I'm afraid that if I do, you'll do something bad to me."
"With you saying that, should I be prepared to do so anyways?"
Jakotsu just looked at Bankotsu as he realized he kind of set himself up. He then quickly walked away and over to Inuyasha. He held the mistletoe above his head.
"Ha! Now you can't do anything about it!" Jakotsu said with a huge smile that scared Inuyasha a bit.
"About what?" Inuyasha asked.
"With this mistletoe, you have to kiss me!"
"Ewww! I'm not gonna kiss you!"
"B-b-b-but you gotta! That's the rule!"
"Screw the rule! Bankotsu!"
Bankotsu then walked over to Jakotsu and grabbed him by the ear. He then dragged him outside, attached a leash to his neck, and wrapped it around a tree.
"THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Jakotsu tried to run in Bankotsu's direction screaming, but the leash ran out and tugged him to the floor.
"When you cut this stuff out, I'll let you back in," Bankotsu replied as he walked back into the house.
Everyone stood still as the ground shook from Jakotsu yelling "BANKOTSU! YOU LITTLE BASTARD! UNTIE ME!"
"… Couldn't Jakotsu just remove the leash himself?" Yahiko asked.
"Yeah, but he's so mad he probably hasn't thought about it yet," Bankotsu replied.
"That's kind of mean, that it is," Kenshin said with a frown, "Let the poor guy back in."
"Nah. You can leave him out there," Inuyasha said.
"I, Kuno, will not stand for this," Kuno said with his chest puffed out.
"Oh shut up," Ranma and the rest of his group yelled.
"THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" Jakotsu yelled.
Everyone just ignored him and kept dancing. The clock read 11:30… Only half an hour left before the New Year…
Well, That's all for this chapter… I felt kinda bad about tying Jakotsu to a tree, but it seemed funny so I did it. Now, please review and read the final chapter of New Year's Bash!
