YEAH WE GOT REVIEWS!!!!!!!! IT'S A MERICAL!! Sorry that I haven't updated in a long time, but I just haven't felt like typing and I've been tired so I will make sure to get the next chapters up a little quicker. But I don't think the rest will take as long to update seeing how this is the longest chapter in this notebook.

Disclaimer: do you think I own it?

(A.N: Sorry 'bout the last chapters starting with the end of chapter 4. For some reason it didn't want to put in the returns and tabs that it showed on my word document, but I have gone through and fixed it all so it is now easier to read. Again I'm sorry)

Chapter 6: The Deadly Game of Truth or Dare

"I'm bored again," said Yusuke. They were all back in the cabin waiting for Kuwabara t come back from the forest.

"Well what do you suggest we do," Auree was leaning against a wall. Yusuke was just about to answer when the door flew open and in stepped Kuwabara.

He sighed in relief, "That's much better."

Yusuke grinned, "Get the squirrel out of what's left of your pants?"

"For your information I did," Kuwabara glared at him, "With no thanks to you or Auree!" Auree smiled at this comment.

"Good," said Yusuke, "Than you can help us think of something to do."

"I'm getting a new pair of pants on!" Kuwabara stormed away to his bedroom.

"My tree has done well," Auree said proudly, "The truth is, I didn't know there was a squirrel in it."

"That's it!" Yusuke jumped up,

"What?"

"Truth or Dare!" Yusuke said excitedly, "We'll play Truth or Dare!"

"Truth or Dare?" Auree said slowly.

"Don't tell me you haven't heard of Truth or Dare!" Yusuke said. Auree shook her head.

"It's a game! When it's your turn you pick truth or you pick dare. If you pick truth, you have to answer any question I ask you truthfully. If you pick dare, you have to do a dare! It's fun!"

Auree thought for a moment "I guess I'll play."

"You'll play what?" Kuwabara walked in, in a new pair of pants.

"Truth or Dare," said Yusuke "Do you want to play?"

"Sure," Kuwabara sat down on the couch.

"How about you guys?" Yusuke asked Hiei and Kurama.

"I will not degrade myself to playing such a childish games," said Hiei.

"What he said, except less harsh," said Kurama, who was reading a book.

Yusuke shrugged, "Your loss." He turned to Auree.

"You're first," he said, "Truth or Dare."

"Dare," she said defiantly.

Yusuke smiled sinisterly, "My favorite. All right, let me think." He closed he eyes for a few seconds.

"Got it!" he jumped to his feet, "I dare you to go swimming in the lake out back."

"That's not so bad."

"With no swimming suit!"

"WHAT!" Auree looked at him like he was crazy.

"That's right." Said Yusuke, "I dare you to go skinny dipping in the lake." Kuwabara burst out laughing.

"That's a good one Urameshi!"

"Shut up!" Auree yelled at him, "I am not gong skinny dipping!"

"Oh yes you are," said Yusuke. "It's the rules of the game. You have no choice."

"NO WAY!" Auree said stubbornly, "I'm not doing it. Never! And you aren't talking me into it!"

"I can't believe he talked me into this," Auree was standing on the dock on the lake with nothing but a towel on.

"Go on!" yelled Yusuke from the shore, "Jump in!"

"Fine!" she yelled back at him, "But you and Kuwabara have to close your eyes."

"That wasn't part of the dare." Said Yusuke.

"Maybe not." Said Auree, "but it's common courtesy. Plus I won't do it unless if you close your eyes."

"Fine," Yusuke elbowed Kuwabara and covered his eyes. Kuwabara did the same. Auree turned and was just about to take off the towel when she looked over her shoulder.

"KUWABARA!" she yelled. "YOU'RE PEEKING!"

"I AM NOT!" Kuwabara recovered his eyes.

"You were too!" said Yusuke, "That's sick! You pervert!"

"I wasn't peeking!"

"Were too!"

"Was not!"

SPLOOSH! They both turned. Auree had taken advantage of their arguing and had cast off the towel and jumped in while they weren't looking. Her head reappeared at the surface.

"DO YOU REALIZE HOW COLD THIS IS!!!" she said shivering, "HOW LONG DO I HAVE T STAY IN HERE?"

"Oh, an hour or two," said Yusuke.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!!" Auree yelled at him.

"Yeah it is."

"JUST WAIT UNTIL IT'S YOUR TURN YUSUKE URAMESHI! YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY!"

"About that." Yusuke looked at Kuwabara and they both smiled, "After consulting with Kuwabara, we both agree that this game of Truth or Dare is officially over."

"Over?" she said, "but it just started!"

"Oh well," said Kuwabara, "So we'll be leaving."

"NOW YOU'RE BOTH GONNA GET IT!!!" Auree started swimming towards the dock where her towel and clothes were.

"Oh no you don't!" Kuwabara grabbed the pile of clothes. Yusuke snatched her towel, rolled it into a ball and flung it out into the middle of the lake.

"Give me back my clothes!" Auree had reached the dock.

"I don't think so," Kuwabara backed away, "These need to be put some where safe, like on the roof of the cabin!"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Wanna bet," Kuwabara grinned. Auree remained silent.

"Didn't think so. Come on Urameshi. Our work here is done."

"You're just going to leave me!?!"

"Yup," the two boys turned and began to walk away, Auree roared.

"THAT'S IT!! I'M COMING AFTER YOU, CLOTHES OR NO CLOTHES!" she put her hands on the dock and was about to hoist herself up, when Yusuke and Kuwabara turned and looked right at her. Auree froze and there was silence for a few moments. She blushed.

"NOT FAIR!!!"

"And you think we care?" Yusuke asked innocently. Auree clenched her teeth. She turned towards the middle of the lake.

"Hey!" she looked across the lake, "Where's my towel?!"

"Probably on the bottom of the lake by now," Yusuke smiled again, "I rolled a rock into it."

"Curse you," Auree muttered and disappeared beneath the water's surface.

"Let's go." Kuwabara ran back to the cabin with Auree's clothes and Yusuke followed.

"Auree's clothes on the roof now?" Yusuke asked Kuwabara when he came back in, carrying a ladder.

"Yup," Kuwabara gave him the thumbs up sign. Hiei rolled his eyes. They had told him and Kurama about their little prank. Kurama had thought it unfair that they had taken advantage of Auree's gender. Hiei, however, knew that Auree was probably going to get the last laugh. Keiko wasn't very happy about what the boys had done either. She and Auree had become friends in the last couple of days and probably got along best among the group.

She muttered "Jerks." And went back to her magazine.

"She's been out there a while," Yusuke walked over to the window, "and we haven't seen her for the last five minutes."

"Maybe she drowned," said Kuwabara hopefully.

"I doubt it," Yusuke glanced out the window again, "but she couldn't have gotten her towel. That lake is 30 feet deep. It's impossible to reach the bottom without scuba gear or something."

"Oh well," Kuwabara laid back on the couch, "As long as she can't get her clothes, she probably won't come in here."

"Yeah. I guess you're right," Yusuke leaned back also. Minutes passed. Still no sign of Auree.

"Are you sure she didn't drown?" Kuwabara said looking out the window for the seventh time.

"No," Yusuke looking nervous, "Maybe she-"

THUMP! It sounded as though someone had jumped onto the root. Yusuke and Kuwabara looked up. The sound faded to utter silence.

"You don't think...Auree?" Kuwabara and Yusuke looked at each other.

"Nah!" They laughed. A small smile appeared on Hiei's face. How easily they forget he thought to himself, that she is part demon. Kurama chuckled softly behind his book.

"What's so funny!" Yusuke looked at Kurama suspiciously.

"Nothing," Kurama went back to reading his book. CRREEEAK. The front door opened slowly. They stared at it for a minute. Yusuke laughed shakily.

"Probably just the wind."

"Yeah," Kuwabara laughed too.

"But the wind isn't blowing," Keiko pointed out. Silence for a few moments.

Yusuke pushed Kuwabara towards the door; "You check it out."

"Now way!" Kuwabara backed away; "You check it out!"

"Why don't you both check it out," suggested Kurama.

They creeped outside slowly. Dead silence.

"Auree," Yusuke called timidly, "is that you? Who's out there?" They walked along the porch, eyes peeled for danger.

"Auree!" Kuwabara said a little bolder, "Helloo! Who's there?" More silence.

"Hmm," Kuwabara turned to Yusuke. He didn't see the dark figure jump off the roof and land catlike behind him.

"Where could she be," he asked Yusuke, but Yusuke was staring in terror at something over his shoulder.

"What? I asked you a question!" Suddenly, someone behind him whispered coldly "Look behind you."

FWACK!!

"YOOWW!" Kuwabara jumped about a foot in the air. He whirled around holding his backside.

"Whiplash!" he whimpered.

"Yup," Auree was standing there, fully dressed with a wet towel in one hand. She looked extremely angry.

Yusuke looked at Kuwabara's backside. His eyes widened.

"Kuwabara," he slowly said, "She's mad."

"Why do you say that?"

"There's a rip in you pants where she hit you."

Kuwabara whimpered again, "I won't be able to sit down for weeks."

Auree started twisting the towel up again, "Let's make it months!"

"Augh!" Kuwabara bolted back into the cabin. Yusuke tried to follow but Auree blocked his path.

"I'll take care of him later. Now it's your turn!"

"No!" Yusuke got down on his knees, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I truly am! I'll never play another prank on you again! Just spare me! Please!"

Auree raised her eyebrows, "Are you really sorry?"

"Yes! Yes!" Yusuke was almost crying.

"Hmm," Auree looked at him thoughtfully, "I'll make it quick."

Kuwabara was hiding in the attic behind a large box when he heard a resounding FWACK! Followed by a "YOWW!" that echoed throughout the house.

"You were a good man, Urameshi. I salute you." He said softly. He heard the door open on the other side of the room. He couldn't hear footsteps but Auree's voice echoed in the large room.

"Oh Kuwabara," she said softly, "I know you're in here. My ears are very sensitive."

Dang! He thought She's still in her half-demon form!

"I can hear you breathing."

Kuwabara gasped and slapped a hand over his mouth

"You just gasped," the voice was getting louder as she moved closer and closer to his hiding spot. Kuwabara cowered back in his corner.

"You're scared aren't you?" he could hear her twisting her towel. "You're huddled in a corner somewhere whimpering like a wounded dog. I'm going to find you. You're a rat in a trap." Her voice faded away. He sat there petrified in fear.
I can see my life passing before my eyes he thought to himself, and it seems to be very pointless at the moment.

Suddenly there was a cold whisper is his ear that made the hairs on the back of his neck stick up, "Kuwabara, I found you."

"AAAAUGH!!" He jumped up and ran to the door with Auree in got pursuit. Down the stairs they ran and through the living room.

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME!!" Kuwabara skidded around the corner into the kitchen. Auree was just about to do the same when..

BONG!...She ran into a frying pan. Her body relaxed and her eyes went misty as she fell backwards to the floor, somewhat unconscious.

"HA!!" Kuwabara stepped out of the kitchen holding the still ringing pan, "Take that!"

"Kuwabara," Keiko had come around the corner, "You just hit a girl. Isn't that against your code?"

Kuwabara looked at her, looked at the frying pan, and looked at Auree on the ground.

"NOOO!" he dropped the pan, "I didn't hit her! The frying pan did it!"

Kurama and Hiei appeared,

"But you were the one swinging the frying pan so you are responsible,"Kurama pointed out.

"NOOO!" Kuwabara fell to his knees, "Sacred code, I have failed you!!"

"Well," came a voice from the floor, "It didn't really hurt me. It just made me dizzy for a minute or two so maybe it isn't your fault."

"Yeah," Kuwabara got to his feet, "That makes sense...AUREE!!"

"You're dead meat if I have a black eye later."

"You mean he's not dead meat now?" Keiko looked startled.

"No," Auree grabbed his leg; "He's just going to be dead meat now!"

"Aaaugh!" Kuwabara took off, dragging Auree behind him. She howled in pain.

"Rug burns! Stop running you baka!!"

At that moment, a strange sound filled the air, almost like a soft drum beat, long and low. Auree and Kuwabara glowed momentarily. Then, in the blink on an eye, ever thing was back to normal.

"What was that?" Keiko looked at Kurama and Hiei. They both shrugged.

"Dunno."

Kuwabara had stopped running and Auree got to her feet. They took one look at each other and screamed.
