Chapter 1: A Simple Game

"Okay! It's time for truth or dare. Who wants to go first?" Kagome chirped cheerfully.

Miroku leaned over towards Sango "What do you bet that they will have a fight?"

Sango smirked "I bet you that if they don't that you have to carry my boomerang around for one whole day."

Miroku laughed, "Fine then if they do then you have to give me a kiss."

Sango rolled her eyes and agreed to the bet. They both sat back and watched the game begin.

"Fine Inuyasha you can go first, truth or dare?" Kagome smiled sweetly at him. Inuyasha caught that smile and quickly picked truth. He didn't want to know what Kagome had planned for dare.

"Ok Inuyasha for truth then. Hmmm…" she smiled again "who do you love the most?"

Inuyasha growled at her. "What kind of a question is that? Isn't it obvious?"

Kagome looked up suddenly at him. "What?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yeah isn't it obvious that I love Kikyo?" suddenly he noticed Kagome's face. "Wait I didn't mean that! Kagome?" Uh oh, he thought to himself, now what did I do?

Kagome glared at him, then started to run towards the well.

"Kagome! Wait! Kagome? I didn't mean it Kagome, come back!" Inuyasha yelled at her as she ran towards the well.

She turned and glared coldly at him for a minute "Inuyasha" she called.

He looked hopeful for a second when she called him.

"SIT!"

THUD

Kagome jumped into the well as Inuyasha slammed to the ground.

Miroku smiled happily. "Oh, Sango! I believe you owe me something! I think you just lost a certain bet!"

"What are you talking about Miroku?" Sango asked slyly. She turned and walked away.

"Hey! Wait a second! You made a bet on me and Kagome?" Inuyasha exploded.

"Ummm... Well you see Inuyasha, we, ummm... I mean I ummm... Sango a little help here!" Miroku started to back away from Inuyasha.

Sango grinned and shook her head "I'm sorry monk but I can't help you."

"But, but... Sango you have to help me! Inuyasha is going to hurt me! Please make him stop!" he looked around wildly for some kind of an escape. His eyes fell on Shippo who was sitting quietly licking his lollypop and absent-mindedly petting Kilala. "Shippo won't you help me out here?"

Shippo stared at him "I'm just a little kid" he pouted, "How can I help you?"

"I don't know, think of something! And hurry!"

Inuyasha advanced on Miroku "Why did you make a bet on me and Kagome?" He growled and cracked his knuckles.

Sango laughed and walked away with Kilala in her arms and Shippo on her shoulder. She left in the direction of the village.

A little while after she got there and got comfortable Inuyasha showed up muttering about a perverted monk and how the monk will do anything to get Sango. He sat down and Sango started to giggle.

"So how many times did you hit him?"

"Feh, enough times that he learns his lesson, I hope."

Inuyasha sat down Indian style and closed his eyes.

Shippo looked at Inuyasha for a second then bounced on him "Why do you care if they made that bet? Huh? Huh? Huh? Is it because you don't want to sound predicable?"

Inuyasha opened one eye and bopped Shippo on the head. "Do you ever shut up?"

Sango looked down at the swirly-eyed Shippo and then looked at Inuyasha. "Why did you have to hit him?"

"Because he was bugging me." Inuyasha closed his eyes again.

A couple minutes' later Shippo's eyes stopped swirling and he rubbed his head "Ow Inuyasha! Why do you have to hit so hard?" he whined.

Suddenly Miroku walked in with a couple of big bumps on his head. "Ah Lady Sango I see you didn't get hurt at all. How wonderful that Inuyasha didn't harm you."

Sango rolled her eyes "Whatever monk."

Miroku smiles at Shippo. "I see he got you too eh Shippo?"

Shippo nodded his head then glared at Inuyasha who didn't seem to notice.He was to busy battling the voices in his head.

'You should just leave her alone. You're only going to make her more mad.' the first said

'But what if she never comes back?' the second screamed

'We got rid of her. So what are yougoing todo about it?' the first yelled back

'I'm going to go and apologize to her!' Inuyasha screamed at the voices in his head. Then suddenly they were gone. Inuyasha knew what to do now.

During his conversation with the voices Shippo and Miroku talking too.

"He's so mean, all because he made Kagome mad again. I wonder if she will come back this time." Shippo gazed past everyone and out the door hoping that Kagome would suddenly emerge through it.

Miroku looked down at the sad fox demon "It would be a wonder if she came back. After all the things that Inuyasha has done to her. Its surprising she even comes here at all anymore."

Inuyasha suddenly got up and walked out the door leaving his friends sitting there very confused.

'Fine,' he thought to himself, 'I guess I have to go get her now.' He sighed then suddenly chuckled to himself. 'I always have to go and get her, why does she even leave?' He continued thinking like that until he got to the well.

"Maybe she doesn't want me to come and get her. Maybe she is still mad at me for what I said." He muttered to himself, "oh well I guess I better go get her anyways." He sighed again and jumped into the well.
