Disclaimer: I do not nor have ever nor will I ever own Shaman King! Unless my top secret plan to conquer the world using hedgehogs works out. Anyway I do own the most adorable black lab in the history of the world.

Mai: Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I got inspirations on my other fics and writer's block on this story but I finally managed to piece this one together even if it's not very good. Whatever. Now may I present to you without any further ado Chapter 4!

Chapter 4: Truth or Dare

"Let's play truth or dare!" Horo-Horo squealed.

"How about you leave me alone or I'll disembowel your brain," I told him.

"Chicken."

"Won't work." This was usually just the sort of immature argument that I generally tried to stay away from but I had nothing better to do then argue with this baka sadly.

"Chicken."

"Baka."

"Chicken."

"Baka." Great I was fighting with the world's biggest moron.

"Why won't you play?" he asked.

"Because it's a stupid game."

"Well do you have anything better to do?"

"No," I admitted grudgingly.

"Leave her alone, Horo-horo. She obviously doesn't want to play because she has something to hide," Ren said interrupting our fight.

"I do not!" I countered angrily. It wasn't exactly true but I didn't want to be called the emotionless freak again. So I decided it was best to keep my loveless life a secret from my new "friends".

"Well then why are you being so stubborn about playing when you clearly have nothing better to do with your time?" he asked. Damn it he had me trapped. If I kept on insisting on not playing then everyone would suspect that I had a secret. So it looked like I had no choice but to play that stupid.

"Because every time I play that stupid game I end up kissing some pathetic loser." I knew that it was a weak excuse but it was the best I could come up with. Of course it was also complete bullshit, I had never played truth or dare before let alone kissed anybody.

"That is pure shit. You just don't want to risk revealing your secret," Ren told me.

"How many times do I have to tell you I don't have a secret!" I yelled at him.

"Whatever you say," Ren said sarcastically before walking away.

"I hate him more and more everyday," I told Horo-Horo angrily. Horo-Horo just backed away slowly. "Moron," I muttered not knowing if I was talking about Ren or Horo-Horo.

Mai: Sorry if that one sucked but I'm having some creative difficulties with this fic. Please rate but do not flame. If you don't like it then don't read it.
