---Road to an Eternity of Wars---
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho and anything else that seems related to any other copyright item/game. Man, if I did, would I be sitting her writing these stories? NO!
I'm sorry that I didn't put Hiei in most of these games because, well, you know, he really doesn't play these type of games... And I'm also sorry that I'm not very detailed on these games I chose to post up because I've just never really seriously played it before...
OK! Sequence…before I fall asleep…again…Kuso! I can't fall asleep! I have homework too!
Chapter 8: These Foolish Games
The Higurashi Shrine…
Kurama glanced up at Yusuke, "Spin the bottle"
"WHAT?" Kagome, Yusuke and Kuwabara screamed.
"Hn. I will not resort to playing any of these games" and without any room for a comment on that, Hiei left.
Yukina looked at Sango, Botan, and Keiko with apprehension. They never told her that they would be adding this game to the box.
Kurama stood there, stunned from what they were playing. Spin the bottle? Oh, god…now what?
Sango smirked, "Well, Kagome, go get a bottle. After all, we need one to play" she pushed on. She knew this game real well... Especially since Kagome had taught her to use her senses to stop tiny things like coins. She hoped that she could use it on this game...
Glaring at Sango, Kagome reluctantly got up to retrieve a bottle for the game.
When Kagome got back, Keiko took the bottle.
"Ok, rules are you're not allowed to kiss anyone related to you and if the bottle happens to land on the same sex, then you will have to spin again. It has to be a kiss on the lips for more than a minute too"
"And let's see who's first…the lucky part is that a few people won't have to kiss. We'll only be drawing 3 lucky names from the box..." Botan took out a small pink box filled with all their names and drew one. She smiled wickedly, making everyone go rigid and nervous, "Kagome"
Kagome chewed on her lower lip. She didn't like this game. Hesitantly, she took the bottle in her hands and spun, watching it as it gradually spun slower, and slower…until it finally came to an abrupt stop. Kagome paled. Sango's strategy had worked...
Kurama.
His eyes widened. I mean sure he liked her…but…
Sango snickered. Perfect. Plan 'A' complete.
"Well…what are you waiting for?" Botan smirked, waiting to see what would happen.
Kagome looked up at Kurama. Reluctantly, she shuffled across the floor to where he was sitting down. This game would provide her first kiss. Her kiss with Kurama…
Kurama look down at her and lightly pulled her to a fairly good distance. Keiko took the timer out and set it to one minute. And then, without another word, they kissed.
Kagome felt like she was flying! It was a remarkable feeling that she swore she would never forget…
Kurama pulled her a little tighter and slightly deepened the kiss. This was just like heaven... After a while, Kagome wrapped her hands around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist.
After a minute, they parted reluctantly.
The other girls started giggling as the kissing couples turned red. Yusuke smirked, Miroku chuckled and Kuwabara was dreaming…
Kagome then lit up a little bit. It was time for revenge. Snatching the box out of Botan's hands, she stuck her hand into the sheets of paper and drew out a name, "Yusuke" she smirked, wiping that smug look of his face.
"Great…" he groaned. Spinning the bottle, it landed on Kagome, so he had to spin again.
"Keiko"
Well they were somewhat together already, but Keiko blushed and they kissed deeply.
"ALRIGHT! Break it up already!" muttered an irritated Sango.
Keiko broke the kiss, looking slightly dazed. Yusukesmirked andtook the box and drew the last name they were going to draw, "Miroku"
His face lit up as all the girls looked at him wearily.
"Ok then" without a second thought, he spun the bottle. It rapidly spun and slowed to a stop ...between a space. It landed on a space...
"Ahem, no one" Sango smirked.
"I demand a re-spin!" he cried out desperately.
"NO" the girls stated bluntly for their own safety.
Oh yes, this was going to be an exciting night.
Kagome sighed. 3 names were drawn, now we're onto the next game, "Next game…"
Yusuke drew. The group was nervous. What game now? Hiei had come back in after the game was finished.
"Um…let's see here. Chicken!"
"Whaa?" Kuwabara asked.
"The game is chicken…but where the hell are we going to play that?"
Kagome smiled, "Hold on a minute…" she ran out and came back in with a crooked metal pole, "Follow me"
She led them to the bathroom and opened the door. Steam came out and she adjusted the temperature down a little bit.
Handing them bathing suits that somehow 'mysteriously' appeared, they changed.
"Hn. I'm not going to participate in these pathetic ningen games" he said, refusing the swim trunks.
Sango smirked. There must be a way to get him to play. She knew fire apparitions despised water, "Oh, you're scared aren't you?"
Hiei snarled, "I'm not scared! I'll do it!" he snatched the trunks out of her hands and stomped out of the room to get changed.
Everyone burst out laughing when he left.
"Ok…pairs?" Kagome questioned.
"Uh…Sango can go with Miroku, Keiko with Yusuke…" Botan started.
"I can go with Kazuma" Yukina offered. Kuwabara looked at her with hearts in his eyes.
"Kagome's with Kurama then" Keiko blurted out.
"What?" she bugged out.
"You're with Kurama" Sango snickered.
"But that leaves me with the ice prince" Botan whined.
"Deal with it"
"Alright…as long as we can get him wet…"
When Hiei entered back into the room and Kurama set up the bar across the pool, the chaos started.
Kagome took out a microphone out of the wall and started, "Alright! Welcome to today's game…Chicken! Today we will be doing pairs and the first one to fall into the water is the LOSER! First up are Sango and Miroku vs. Keiko and Yusuke!"
Sango balanced on the bar first, Miroku getting on behind her. Keiko and Yusuke get started on the other side.
"Ha!" Yusuke yelled as he started jumping up and down on the pole, making Keiko scream for a moment. Sango wobbled a little but steadied herself with Miroku. A couple seconds past with their attempts.
All of a sudden… "HENTAI!"
Sango yelled out as Miroku groped her from behind. Kurama and the others sweat dropped as she turned around and slapped him hard, causing him to loose balance and fall into the water, dragging Sango along with him. She resurfaced, sputtering while getting out of the water, muttering something along the lines of 'stupid, perverted monks' who can never keep their hands to them selves.
"And it looks like Keiko and Yusuke wins! Miroku leaves, suffering a harsh injury to his cheekbone!" Kagome whistled.
"Victory!" Yusuke screamed out. Keiko rolled her eyes.
"Next up, Yukina and Kuwabara vs. Botan and Hiei! This is going to be a tough match!"
Hiei reluctantly got in with Botan behind him and Yukina and Kuwabara did the same.
"The great Kuwabara will come out in victory!" he proclaimed immediately.
"Kazuma…" Yukina blushed.
"Where are the kids?" Sango questioned, ringing some water out of her hair.
"Oh, they slept over at a friend's house. I think they wanted to stay real long so they'll be backafter youguys have toleave todo you know what" Keiko responded, turning back to the match.
"And get ready…START!"
Kuwabara stumbled around a bit at first, making the bar jiggle rapidly. Knowing Kuwabara, Botan knew they would win, but she really wanted Hiei to get wet…you hardly got to see him like that. As a matter of fact, no one has seen him like that before. Glancing around quickly, Botan stuck her foot out and literally tripped Hiei right into the water, who fully wasn't expecting this from the grim reaper behind him. Before she fell in, Botan jumped out.
"And the winner is Yukina and Kuwabara!"
Everyone burst out laughing. Hiei scowled, jumping out of the pool. His hair was down now, in his un-gravity defying state. He rung water out of his hair.
"Hn" he walked out of the room to avoid any more humiliation.
"The Great Kuwabara has won!" He shot to Yusuke.
It was Kagome's turn, so she handed the mike to Sango, "And next up is Kurama and Kagome, up against the defending champions, Keiko and Yusuke!"
Kagome climbed onto the smooth metal and looked behind her to Kurama, who gave her a reassuring smile.
Yusuke smirked, "You're going down"
"In your dreams, cousin" Kagome shot back.
And so it began! At one point, Kagome almost lost her balance, but Kurama wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent her from falling, making her blush madly. The fun all ended when Kurama caught Keiko off guard and stomped down hard on the bar, causing her to jump up a little and fall into the water, carrying Yusuke with her when she grabbed his ankle.
Yusuke scowled, getting out of the water and shaking the water out of his now un-gelled hair. The others laughed, for once, Yusuke had lost to something!
"And the winner is KAGOME AND KURAMA!"
"I don't think Hiei is coming back anytime soon" Kurama chuckled after they changed out of their swimwear. The group was settled down in the living room again.
"And the last game of the night…" Sango announced.
Yukina reached into the offending box, pulling out a sheet of paper, "Truth or dare" she stated, looking thoughtful.
"Alright then…" Kagome trailed off, "Who's starting?"
"Well…" Yukina reached into the smaller box; "You are" she smiled.
"Ok then" Kagome smiled wickedly, making everyone shift nervously in their sleeping bags. She then absently wonderedwhy her name was always drawn out of the box,"Yusuke, truth or dare?"
He snorted arrogantly, "Dare. I'm not a coward"
"I dare you to…dress up in a pink ballerina suit with bunny ears and a tail and do the ballet to 'The Nutcracker' for 2 minutes"
"What? HELL NO!"
Everyone else started cracking up and rolling on the floor laughing.
"I see, so you're scared?" she cocked her head cutely.
"No! I'll…do it!"
Kagome smirked and Yusuke gulped, "Here's the suit. I fished it out from my grade 1 Halloween costume. Apparently, it was really big so it will fit, Yusuke. Dear cousin, I suggest you put it on"
Scoffing, he snatched the suit out of her hands and stomped upstairs into the washroom.
Keiko giggled. This would be a first for Yusuke's reputation.
"Great thinking, Kagome" Sango smiled, taking out a video camera from under the covers.
"This will surely be amusing" Kurama commented.
"Ha, Ha! Urameshi has to dress like a girl!" Kuwabara pointed out.
A loud, "SHUT UP!" was heard from the bathroom.
Miroku chuckled at his tone of voice. It was filled with annoyance and defeat.
Sango whistled, "You sure struck a chord in him there, that's for sure…I can't wait to get this on camera!"
She flicked the ON button in the video camera just as Yusuke walked into the living room. Everyone burst out laughing at him. Yusuke growled.
Kagome interrupted his deathly train of thoughts, "I believe you'd want to get this over with" she gave the signal to Sango to start recording, unknowingly to Yusuke that she was. Pressing the power button on the sound system with a tiny 'click', the gentle music flowed in from the ends of the room.
Grudgingly, he shifted into the starting position, and then the cousin did ballet! .
"How does he know how to do this?" Botan whispered to Keiko. She just shrugged. Kagome leaned over to them, "I used to do it when I was really young and dared him to do it with me. I'm just surprised that he remembered" she chuckled.
They looked up again just in time to see him do a twirl…right into the stack of video games.
Kagome scowled, "Watch it! It took me a long time to sort that out!"
Afterwards, Yusuke got out of the offending suit and sat down again, "…Sango, truth or dare"
"…Dare?"
"Aright then, I dare you to let Miroku grope you twice without you doing any harm to him" Yusuke smirked.
"What? That Hentai? Argh…I'll get you for this!" She seethed.
"Ah, Sango dear…"
"HENTAI!" but she restrained her hand for the sake of the game.
"I think I'll save it" Miroku gave the demon exterminator a perverted smile, making everyone in the room nervous.
Sango fumed and then suddenly got a swing of moods, making her face contort into a wicked smile. The whole group got even more nervous, "Kagome"
Kagome paled, "…dare…?" she squeaked.
"Ok then, I dare you to stay at a maximum of 1 foot from Kurama for the rest of the night. There are no exceptions..."
Kagome cursed under her breath and grudgingly shuffled her feet towards Kurama. She sent Sango a death glare before turning to Botan, "Botan, truth or dare?"
"Truth" she smiled.
"Ok then…um…who do you have a crush on?" she smirked evilly.
Botan protested a little before giving in, "A guy named…Koenma…"
"Don't know him" Kagome shrugged, pretending along with Sango while Kurama and the others stared at the ferry girl in shock.
Botan finally recovered from blushing, "Kurama, truth or dare?"
"Truth" he smiled politely.
"Uh…oh, you're no fun," she pouted; "I had a good one…" she trailed off. The other girls ((except Kagome)) snickered, as if they knew what the dare was going to be, "Tell us, if you had to kiss any one girl in this room, who would it be?"
Kurama at first looked shocked, then whispered the answer.
"Sorry, what was that? We couldn't hear you" she smirked evilly.
"Kagome" he mumbled a little louder. Kagome at first blushed, and then gained a sheepish look on her face, looking away from Kurama to hide the tint on her cheeks.
"Err…Kuwabara, truth or dare?" he was still a little shaken up about the whole ordeal.
"Dare" He answered proudly, puffing his chest out, "The great Kuwabara can do anything!"
A snort was heard from the other end of the room.
"Can someone please help me with this one?" Kurama asked the group politely.
Yusuke smirked and walked over to him, whispering something into his ear with the red-haired fox listening attentively.
"Ahh…I see" his voice filled with uncertainty, "I dare you to…what was it that Yusuke said? Yes, I dare you to look up Keiko's…skirt, was it?"
"WHAT? I CAN'T DO THAT! IT'S AGAINST THE CODE!"
"Yusuke…" Keiko warned.
Yusuke backed away nervously, "What are you looking at me like that for? Kurama said it-"
SLAP.
"OWWW!"
"YUSUKE YOU JERK!"
"Uh…he's out cold, Keiko" Sango and the others sweat dropped.
"IT'S AGAINST THE CODE!" ((Doesn't take to long to know who said this…))
"And it's the dare" Yusuke pointed out.
"HE'S AWAKE!" the girls cried out.
SLAP.
"Yusuke! -" Keiko screamed.
"He's out again, Keiko…" The group sweat dropped again.
"…Let's just do another dare instead," Yukina suggested.
"Yes. That's the perfect idea" Kurama smiled, "I dare him to –" He was cut short once again by Kagome whispering something into his ear, "I dare him to dress up in formal wear as a girl and ask the first man to cross the street outside to bear his child"
"Hey!" Miroku cried out in protest.
"Perverted houshi!" Sango screamed out and…
SLAP. The group winced. Keiko's and Sango's slaps looked painful. (( O.O so much slapping...scary!))
"That teaches him," she grumbled when there were two men lying on the ground.
It took a lot of…violence and protesting and yelling to get Kuwabara into a dress and out onto the street. the rest of the group ducked behind some nearby bushes.
And the first person to pass by was…Hojo. ((XD! This is so weird! LOL))
"Will you...bear my child?" Kuwabak…Ahh…Kuwabara asked, "This is against my code" he whined under his breath.
The hidden group sweat dropped.
"My fair lady, I'm afraid my true love is only Kagome," he said with stars in his eyes, "I will think about your offer though. But the truth is, even though my love is Kagome, I am gay…" and with that, he walked off with Kuwabara gawking. ((I'm sorry, I just had to put that! I don't like him very much...lol))
Kurama eyed Kagome with a little hurt in his eyes, eying her skeptically.
Kagome made a gagging noise, then a vomiting notion, pretending to fall to the ground, dead.
They burst out laughing, except for Yukina, who was helping the baka get the dress off. ((No perverted thoughts pervert!))
This went on and on into the night. Kagome and Kurama miraculously didn't get picked for the rest of the night. Hiei was nowhere to be found after getting soaked in the second game, and Yusuke and Kuwabara had stayed up attempting to try and play every game on the shelf, failing miserably, but still having a great time.
In the Morning…
She blinked once. Twice…
Rubbing her eyes wearily, Kagome looked around the room to see who was awake. Keiko had somehow found herself in Yusuke's arms, Sango was hugging Miroku, who's hand was on her thigh, Kuwabara was snoring obnoxiously loud, and Kurama…where was Kurama?
She shifted in her sleeping bag to find herself locked into place. A piece of red hair landed on her cheek. Wait…red hair?
Looking up, Kagome saw Kurama's sleeping face. 'Angel…' But she still had to get up. Kagome turned herself in such a way that Kurama's arms slid soundlessly off her. Silently standing up, Kagome made her way into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Kitchen…
Kagome sweat dropped, "Well, Yusuke has a big mouthed appetite and I'm sure Kuwabara does too…" Kagome mumbled. She sighed, "It's time to empty out the fridge to make their breakfast…"
Around an hour later, the kitchen was FILLED with food! Every countertop had plates of food and another balanced between two rims of plates. If you walked in, you probably would fail to locate the sink, or anything else you wanted to come in for.
Scribbling a quick note and taping it onto the kitchen door, Kagome locked it and fished out the milk and juice from the fridge. Yes, 3 litres of apple juice, 4 litres of orange juice, and 2 litres of milk, "Is that even enough?" Kagome scowled to herself.
Living Room…
The rest of the group woke up to the smell of food. Groaning, Yusuke turned over onto his stomach and debated to get up.
The girls got up and stretched while Kurama gave a small yawn and patted his hair down a little. Yusuke then kicked Kuwabara awake with a grunt.
"Kitties…" Yusuke kicked harder, "IT'S A FIRE! AHHHH!"
Everyone sweat dropped.
"Where's Kagome?" Kurama asked.
"I don't know. Maybe gone somewhere for a while" Keiko answered.
"Whatever, I need some food" Yusuke yawned and walked into the kitchen, SLAM, right into the door… "WHO THE HELL CLOSED THIS DOOR?"
Botan and the others rushed over, "Um…Yusuke's there a note there"
Friends,
Have a seat in the dining room. I'll be with you in a moment, although this may take a while…
-Kagome ((So far, none of the guys know her last name! Lol))
"Where's the living room?" Kuwabara asked, finally…somewhat awake.
"Over here" Sango and Miroku led them to a room with a wooden, polished, antique-looking table that could seat just about 10 people.
"Yes, I remember this table, I still think it is beautiful" Yukina commented, taking a seat beside Kuwabara.
((Seating: Left to right, all around the table. Yukina, Kuwabara, empty, Keiko, Yusuke, Sango, Botan, Miroku, Kurama, empty))
"So…now what?" Keiko wondered.
"Wait…I presume?" Kurama answered. As if on cue, Kagome burst open the kitchen door.
"The food is ready! Grab your plates in front of you and dig in!"
Yusuke and Kuwabara took a peek into the kitchen and immediately started drooling. Raising an eyebrow, Kurama curiously glanced in and widened his eyes in shock. The girls laughed and thanked Kagome along with Kurama. Then, everyone dug into the food.
"Isn't this a little too much?" Yukina asked.
"Nah, I'm pretty sure Kuwabara eats a lot and I know Yusuke from…past experiences with food…" Kagome grimaced. Yukina lightly laughed, getting the point.
Picking up the plate beside Kurama, she cautiously snuck into the kitchen, occasionally dodging flying bits of food.
After Breakfast…
"Well thank you for making us this breakfast" Kurama smiled at her.
"Hey it was no problem…"
"I forgot how good the food was that you made! But you didn't make enough of it!" Yusuke exclaimed, with Kuwabara agreeing alongside him.
Everyone else sweat dropped and anime fell.
"Err...yeah. I'll be sure no to miss that next time…" Kagome trailed off, 'I used up the WHOLE DAMN FRIDGE FOR KAMI'S SAKE!' she thought hysterically.
"I must say now, we have to prepare for our business trip. We hope to see you when we get back" Kurama commented.
"Yeah, although it's still hard to believe that Yusuke got a job!" she cracked up.
"SHUT UP!" he retorted.
"We need to make peace hear" Miroku tried to reason fretfully.
"Liek you bring any peace to us here" Sango grumbled, mostly to herself. The other girls agreed.
"We'll be leaving now then" Kurama hugged her and the three left to go to a aggravated Hiei waiting in the trees at the bottom of the shrine.
She stood there in shock, all her senses tingling from where he touched her…
The other girls shared knowing smiles. He had hugged her because he felt that he might not ever see her again. But they knew that wasn't true, and it was a sign of affection, unknown to Kagome over there.
Hey guys! I'm here, back with the next chapter and I hope you enjoyed it! Read and review onegai!
Sayonara for now…,
Tenshi-Battosai
