Evil: I am slowly rebuilding my empire. Mwahahaha…!
Rin: Eep! Sesshoumaru-samaaa! She is scaring Rin!
Sesshoumaru: it's okay, Rin. She won't hurt you.
Evil: won't I?
Kagome: um, are you okay?
Evil: of course I am. I'm rebuilding my empire. I've got lots of reviews again. but sadly, not quite as many as I had before Miss Krux got deleted. Sniff. My old self is GONE! WAHHH!
Kagome: pats Evil on back It's okay. We understand.
Rin: Hahaha!
Evil: sniff… what?
Rin: Evil is crying! Over dead part of self!
Naraku: pa—
Everyone: shut up!
Naraku: thet—
Everyone: shut UP!
Naraku: ic.
Everyone: ARGH! KILL!
Sesshoumaru: ARGH! KILL!
Inuyasha: whoa.
Evil: eyebrows raised Did I make him do that?
Inuyasha: uh, yeah. Like, totally.
Evil: heehee. This is fun.
Sango: Oh, hi Miroku. girly blush What's up?
Miroku: I don't know Sango. looks up I don't see anything.
Evil: wahahaha! This is so amusing! I'm gonna stop writing my books just to keep manipulating these guys. Oh, wait. This is a story. Right. That means… 1, 2, 3, HIT IT!
Everyone: oops I did it again… I played with your heart… (singing Britney Spears, Oops, I Did It Again)
Evil: I don't own it! gets dragged off to dance by someone with long, silver hair…
Sesshoumaru walked—er, I mean, stalked—back to the clearing without a backwards glance at the blinking audience that had gathered to watch him skinny-dip.
"Pathetic, isn't it?" asked a voice from a tree. Sesshoumaru looked up. In the tree sat a person in a baboon skin, and since Sesshoumaru was right underneath the person, he got a good (but undesired) look under the white coat. He shuddered and looked away, the sight of girlish legs and a loincloth haunting him.
"Koga," he said calmly, "get out of the tree before you fall and hurt yourself."
"WAHH!" there was a long yell, which culminated in a loud thud. "Oof."
Sesshoumaru didn't even glance back over his shoulder.
"Pathetic," said Naraku, coming across Koga's still form. He toed the wolf's arm.
"Leemelone," Koga muttered into the ground.
Naraku walked right over him.
Kagome bent over Koga and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No," he moaned, raising his head. "But a kiss from you would make me better."
Kagome looked over her shoulder at Inuyasha and smirked. "Okay," said Kagome agreeably. Koga grinned wolfishly and pulled her down by the collar and planted a big, wet, sloppy kiss on her lips.
When Kagome pulled back (which was very soon), she regretted her decision, even though Inuyasha went storming by. You see, bad kissing is so very different from good kissing. Good kissing can make you want more, while bad kissing can just about put you off from the action in general.
Wiping her mouth off and shuddering, Kagome ran after Inuyasha.
Inuyasha didn't look at her.
"Inuyashaaa," she said, tugging at his arm. "he's such a bad kisser!"
"Good for you," said Inuyasha, pouting. "serves you right."
"What? Hey, you're supposed to feel bad for me!"
"And why's that?"
"Because you loooove me," said Kagome, grinning broadly.
Inuyasha glared at her. "I do not."
"B-but…" Kagome stopped walking and her eyes filled with tears. "But…"
"Kagome," he said, stopping as well and putting a hand on her shoulder, his expression regretful.
"Inuyasha," she said softly, lower lip trembling. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Do you?" she whispered tearfully. "Do you lo—"
She didn't get a chance to finish as Inuyasha answered her question prematurely, without any words.
"That's so sweet," said Sango to Miroku, watching the two kiss in the moonlight. Miroku looked at Sango dreamily and nodded. His hand twitched.
"Oh no you don't," Sango warned. "You've already broken your dare. I think you should be kicked out of the game."
"But then I'd be bored," he said, then wagged his eyebrows suggestively. "Unless, of course, you would be willing to sneak off into the forest with me…"
Sango rolled her eyes. "Dream on, pervert," she said, walking away.
Miroku sighed. Why does that never happen to me? He thought, gazing at Kagome and Inuyasha.
Koga, meanwhile, had staggered to his feet, and was blasted back down by seeing the young couple kissing. He groaned and walked into Inuyasha's camp, plunking himself down on top of Kirara.
"Mow…" moaned Kirara.
"Hoshi," (monk in Japanese, I think) said Sango, poking him in the arm. "Miroku."
"Huh?" Miroku opened his eyes to see only the night sky bordered by trees. His head was resting on something warm and soft. Sango poked him again.
"My arm's asleep," she said irritably. He realized that what he had been using as a pillow was actually Sango's shoulder.
"Oh," he said, shifting so that his head lay on the ground.
Sango looked around, her eyes foggy with sleep. Kagome and Inuyasha were lying next to each other, with Kagome's arm flung across Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha snored loudly.
Sango looked over at Miroku, who had fallen back to sleep. Her gaze travelled down his chest and onto his hand that lay open and relaxed on the ground just a few inches away from hers.
Slowly, hesitantly, she inched her fingers toward his hand until they touched. She jerked her hand back, embarrassed, but then slipped it into his long, calloused fingers.
She smiled, letting her eyes drift closed.
Later, in the morning…
"Sesshoumaru-sama, Sesshoumaru-sama, can we play again now?" Rin shook Sesshoumaru's shoulders.
He stirred. "No." he said firmly, even though he was still half-asleep.
"Aw…" Rin did her best to look defeated.
Sesshoumaru rolled over and sat up. "We're leaving, Rin." He said. "Come."
"But--!" she tried to resist when Sesshoumaru pulled her by the arm away from Inuyasha's camp, but obviously failed, as Sesshoumaru was so much stronger than her.
And so two of the nine were no more.
Naraku opened one eye and stared around. Well, he thought, this pathetic game was fun while it lasted. But these pathetic people are starting to really bug me, so I shall leave them.
He dragged his new minion Koga up by the collar and out of camp.
And so two more of the nine were gone.
And then there were five.
Evil: okay. I realize that this chapter was mostly just fluff, not really funny. Sorry, but it was necessary for later chapters (there're only two left!) and because it wasn't becoming very romantic.
Sesshoumaru: finally! I get to leave!
Rin: sob.
Sesshoumaru: oh, be quiet Rin. We're free!
Naraku: at last I depart from you pathetic people. Mwahahaha!
Koga: how could you kiss him, muttface, instead of me Kagome? How?
Kagome: very easily, really. You're just such a loser.
Evil: oh, buuuurn!
Koga: shut up.
Evil: make me.
