Evil Shall Giggle: I'm BA-ACK! WOOT! I come to you, complete with 100 authentic Island accent! wink
Sesshoumaru: …right.
Rin: what's the Island? scratches head
Evil: it's something far too complex for you, Rin. Besides, aren't you're supposed to be asleep…!
Sesshoumaru: don't mind her Rin, she doesn't know anything.
Evil: I DO so… ok, maybe you're right. But shhh up about it.
Sesshoumaru: EVIL WILL GIGGLE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING.
Evil: SHUT UP, YOU PATHETIC… oh no. now I sound like Naraku. Ugh… shudders
Rin: teehee!
Evil: takes out microphone my name is (not) Evil Shall Giggle—
Sesshoumaru: her mother must have been insane… to stick her daughter with a name like 'Evil Shall Giggle'… poor, poor deranged woman…
Evil: as I was saying, I am Evil Shall Giggle, and this is the super-top-secret hint about an upcoming event in this chapter of Truth or Dare? Drum-roll please… SESSHOUMARU TAKES IT OFF!
Sesshoumaru: oh…no.
Screaming mob of fangirls: WE LOVE YOU, SESSHOUMARU!
Evil: oh, no you don't!
Rin: Sesshoumaru-saaaama, can we get on with the story, puh-leeze? Rin is bored.
Sesshoumaru: pokes head out from under mob of screaming fangirls of course, Rin. Evil?
Evil: 1,2,3, HIT IT!
Gang: starts singing Dirty Pop… I'm sick hearing all these people talk about… dadadum…
Naraku: pathetic.
"I dare you, you pathetic thing, to…" Naraku paused, unable to think of anything.
"Well," said a muffled, annoyed, and sarcastic voice from beside Kagome. "Thank you for noticing my extreme discomfort and pain."
"Wow, Inuyasha," said Kagome, who was idly fiddling with Inuyasha's ears as he lay deeply embedded in the ground. (and hard ground it was, too) "I didn't know you knew such an advanced word like 'discomfort'."
"Shut up," he muttered into the dirt, struggling to get up as the after effects of the spell wore off.
"I don't really see why I should," said Kagome innocently.
"Mf," said Inuyasha.
"I dare you to…" Naraku's face lit up as an idea stuck him, and he declared, loud enough for everyone within several miles to hear, "go skinny-dipping so that all the people here will see your pathetic, wanna-be fake-taiyoukai body!"
"EWW!" screamed Kagome, Sango, and Shippou. Miroku looked vaguely intrigued, and Inuyasha smirked.
"HENTAI!" the crisp smack of Sango's hand hitting Miroku's face she saw the look on his face echoed throughout the forest. "You are NOT peeking on Sesshoumaru while he's skinny-dipping!"
"Why, Sango," said Miroku mildly, rubbing his face. "It's almost as though you want me all to yourself."
"I…I…" Sango's face turned bright pink. "I do not!"
"Get on with it, you pathetic Sesshoumaru," said Naraku, rubbing his hands together gleefully.
"Now, Naraku," Kagome wagged a finger at the half-demon. "That's not correct grammar. Unless, of course, you were referring to the Sesshoumaru, of the class freakicus-violenté."
"What?" Inuyasha scratched his head.
"Er…" Naraku looked slightly stumped, but, being the intelligent mutant demon he was, he quickly recovered. "Anyway, pathetic people. Go, Sesshoumaru, go and show off your pathetic body."
"Didn't you say there was a rule against this kind of dare?" Sango whispered to Kagome.
"Yeah," said Kagome. "But it's Sesshoumaru."
Sango considered this. "You may have a point there."
Kagome nodded, and the two girls smirked.
"Sesshoumaru-sama," piped up Rin, who had just woken up. "Rin saw a pond nearby. Sesshoumaru-sama could go swimming there."
"Quiet Rin," said Sesshoumaru coldly, ducking his head to hide a pink blush that spread over his cheeks.
Tears gathered in Rin's enormous brown eyes, and she stared pathetically up at Sesshoumaru.
"I'm sorry Rin," he said, relenting.
"HAHAHA!" yelled Inuyasha, who was pointing at Sesshoumaru, clutching his stomach and howling with laughter. And all at once, too. Amazing.
"What's so funny, Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.
"Mrew?" asked Kirara.
"He—HAHA—apolo—AHAHAHA—apologized!" Inuyasha's body shook with gales of laughter.
Kagome giggled.
"Lo—look!" Inuyasha gasped for air, now pointing at Kagome. "She thinks it's funny, too! HAHAHEE!"
"No, Inuyasha," said Kagome, sighing at her companion's stupidity. "I'm laughing at you."
"Oh," he looked downcast, and his laughter died quickly.
Sesshoumaru, meanwhile, had stood up and was walking in the direction of the pond. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Naraku, and Kirara followed immediately. Rin tried to follow, but received a shouted, "GO TO BED!" from Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha.
As they reached the pond, Sesshoumaru turned and gave all of the audience their daily dose of the Death Glare. Actually, they'd had about six daily doses so far today, but that was just an estimate.
(WARNING: do not try this at home. More than your daily dose of Death Glare can prove mentally scarring, harmful to young children, and can momentarily paralyze you with (either or) horror, or insane fits of giggles, in the case of some crazy fangirls, who might be likely to remark, "OH MY GOD! He's staring at me! I LOVE YOU SESSHOUMARU!" There have also been localized cases of crazy (female) fanhamsters and (female, but some male) fangerbils passing out upon seeing the Death Glare. Hamster and gerbil owners beware.)
The audience grinned back at Sesshoumaru, who would have scowled if not for his remarkable self-control.
Quickly, Sesshoumaru pulled the bow on his kimono undone, and slipped the top part off his shoulders. Kagome and Sango sighed dreamily.
"Merew!" Kirara said, apparently rather agitated. In her own little language, she was saying: "Ew! He has no arm!"
This fact, however, didn't matter to Kagome and Sango, who stared at Sesshoumaru, and were soon joined by Miroku.
SLAP
Sango had just glanced away for a second, and voila! Miroku had been gazing at Sesshoumaru with a burning passion in his eyes. If only Sango could have interpreted this passion correctly… it truly meant, thought Miroku, massaging his stinging cheek, that I wish I could be just like him… except with two arms. Then Sango would stare at me like that…
The monk joined the women in sighing dreamily.
Too fast for the naked (no pun intend—er, what am I saying? Pun is very much intended) eye to track, Sesshoumaru dropped his pants and wrapped his tail around himself. He waded into the water up to his waist, then started to come back out.
"Uh-uh," Naraku shook his head. "You pathetic thing, you must go all the way under!"
Sesshoumaru turned back around and walked all the way into the middle of the pond. The water wasn't deep enough to go over his head. He came dangerously close to rolling his eyes, and dunked his head. As he came up, he flung his silver hair back with such grace…
Drops of drool fell from Kagome's and Sango's mouths. Inuyasha and Miroku pouted.
The tall taiyoukai waded out of the water and stepped back into his clothes.
"Stop drooling, miko," he said coldly. "You resemble my brother."
"HEY!"
Evil: finito!
Sesshoumaru: …that's not a word…
Evil: point?
Sesshoumaru: …how dare you make me humiliate myself in front of my idiot half-brother…?
Evil: how? Quite easily, really.
Sesshoumaru: …
Kagome: I drooled!
Evil: apparently.
Kagome: ew…
Inuyasha: yeah, well, think about how I feel!
Kagome: I'm thinking…
Inuyasha!! stupid wench! You were drooling over another man!
Kagome: so?
Koga: YOU'RE MY WOMANN, KAGOME!
Naraku: pa—
Everyone: SHUT UP!
Review Responses
Babyrider70: well, I really had no choice, you see. But now, you shall perish no longer, for Evil Shall Giggle is here! Dumdumdumdum!
DevilAngel620: okay, well, um, that's good, because I was worried if it was getting a little too strange… wait, what am I saying, nothing that involves Sesshoumaru doing weird things is ever too strange. Right?
HimuraNeko: um, glad I didn't kill you, then. And I'm already half way through the next chapter, so that should make you happy. Am I right?
Iamkagomeiloveinuyasha: it isn't. why is it wrong?
Kawaiiness4eva: they don't. thank you, thank you. See ya soon!
Inuyasha-Hottie-101: …okay. I love your name, but I think I may have said that before.
Jill2282: well, you shall wait no longer. Wait. That's not really true, is it? You have to wait again for the next chapter. Er… then, I guess I'll just have to get it up quickly.
Hanako Horigome: your comment made me laugh, but then I thought: what if they mean it? A little worried here, but don't worry, no offense taken. It is, I must admit, one of the most original reviews I've gotten. Your name is cool, too. What does it mean?
Swordsman of Fire: it most certainly is interesting. At least to me. And apparently you like it too, so therefore it is interesting to others.
Touya-no-Kogakure: oookaaay. Radioactive squirrels? Shichinintai? What's that? Hey, wait just a second. I was looking at my reviews just now, and I happed across yours for Ch. 5. you called me a 'sunnavabitch'. Now, as I am female, I believe that 'btch' would be a more appropriate terminisation. However, I take no offence at such language, because I know that that is just your evil side talking.
Inukagforever: thank you, and thank you again for being a faithful reviewer.
