Truth or Dare

A few days later, everyone had settled down and was starting the long wait for the winter storms to pass. Yoko and Nakada still hadn't told anyone that they were in love yet, only the humans knew. But that was the way they liked it. Yoko never missed the chance to help with the twins or get to know more about Nakada, the same was with her. She still had a hard time trying to fully trust Yoko again, but she was slowly on the track.

One day, when the couple were putting the twins down for their nap, Lacey opened the flap out of breath, "Hey everyone's out here playing Truth or Dare you two want to play?"

Yoko looked at Nakada and she explained what the game was about, "So are you up for a game Yoko or are you a scaredy fox?"

Yoko smirked and glint came into his eyes, "I believe Kitty the phrase is scaredy cat which, you being a tiger, are. I'm not afraid but…are you?"

Nakada smirked as well and stood up, "I'm not afraid."

"Neither am I so lets play."

"I'll just take the baby monitor with us so we will know when they are awake," the tiger girl said as she picked up the monitor and went outside after the other two.

When the three of them were out of the tent, they saw a small fire had been built and everyone was sited around it. Yoko and Nakada sat on either side of the fire and it looked like it was demons verses the humans. Everyone was grinning thinking about what they were going to make other people say or do.

Jennah stood up and took a little machine out of her bag, "I know there is supposed to be no electronics, but just in case someone has to do a truth question they will have to answer and put there hand on this. It beeps when the person is telling a lie and if it rings the person is telling the truth. Now," Jennah held her hands up over her head and an arrow appeared. The arrow started to spin and started to go faster. After a few seconds it started to slow down and it landed on Julio a fox demon, like Yoko, only he was brown and his hair went to his chin. Jennah smiled, "Julio, you go first ask anyone here whether they want to answer a question truthfully or do they want to be dared."

Julio had a grin on as he looked around, wondering who his victim was going to be. He looked at April and grinned, "April," she looked at him, "Truth or Dare?"

She smiled, "I'm not afraid dare me."

His grin got wider, "Kiss me for twenty seconds." April looked at him and her mouth opened a little and her eyes went wide. Falser looked at him with hatred and vengeance in his eyes as he heard him. Then she glared at him; "Oh and you have to sit on my lap with your arms around my neck." Falser had to try and to stop himself from standing up and strangling Julio.

April stiffly got up and then she smiled, "Oh Julio is going to wish he never did that," Nakada whispered into Yoko's head so only he could hear.

He looked at her, "Why?"

She smirked, "You'll see," April was had just sat on Julio's lap and wrapped her arms around him. Julio just grinned not knowing what kind of trouble he was in as he wrapped his arms around April's waist as well. The golden haired girl smiled and pushed Julio's head down to her face. After twenty seconds Julio screamed and April jumped away from him as he held his mouth.

Then he glared at April and shouted, "THAT BITCH BURNED MY MOUTH!" and he lowered his hands to show his lips were indeed burned.

"Well I guess she has hot lips for you then!" shouted Tolos another kitsune youkai.

April looked at Tolos, "I'm glad you think so Tolos because I ask you, do want to be dared or do you want to tell the truth?"

Tolos grinned at her, "Dare me."

April grinned and took out two pieces of gum, "This is gum, humans chew it just to chew something but they don't swallow it. These two pieces are different colours. I want you and Julio to take one and then kiss each other and switch the chewed gum in your mouths while your still kissing. And don't stop kissing until you have switched gum," they coughed on air and everyone started to laugh.

Nakada looked at Yoko, "I told you."

Yoko nodded covering his mouth with one hand to hide his smile, "Yes you did. This game seems to lead to people making revenge because someone told them to so something they didn't like."

Nakada nodded, "That's how some people do it…excuse me that's how almost everyone does it." They both chuckled a little.

Tolos and Julio and just finished chewing up the gum and with April smirking and evil glowing in her eyes she said, "Do it."

The demons looked at each other and they slowly got closer together and then they lipped locked. Everyone was laughing as the demons hurried to try and push their piece of gum into the others. When they were done they instantly separated and started to spit like crazy and they glared at April who just gave a little smile and a wink.

Tolos soon got over the embarrassment and decide to look around for his victim. He looked at Nakada and smirked, "Nakada," she looked at him, "Truth or Dare?"

She thought for a second and then shrugged, "Dare me."

He grinned, "I dare you to…kiss me for twenty-five seconds without doing any harm to me or trying to get me back. You also have to sit in my lap with your arms around my neck. Just like April only you have to let me enter your mouth." Yoko's eyes were instantly red when he heard Tolos. He tried to control his anger and clenched his fists as he watched Nakada go over to Tolos and sit in his lap. He saw her wrap her arms around his neck and he wrapped one arm around her waist and pressed his hand to her head not knowing that he was in the danger zone right about then. Then he lowered his face and pushed her face close to his and there lips connected. Kuronue looked at Yoko and saw that his hands were bleeding from how tight they were clenched and his eyes were closed. He was shaking with anger and small growls emitted from his throat.

Kuronue looked at Tolos and saw that he had his tongue in Nakada's mouth and she looked like she was going to be sick and was having a hard time trying to keep herself from biting his tongue off. When twenty-five seconds were over Nakada instantly jumped out of his lap and ran away. Yoko looked at her and went after her but not after glaring at Tolos that made look like he had just seen death. (More like he had just escaped death )

Yoko ran after Nakada following her scent and found her in a tunnel, that was empty, throwing up. He walked up to her just as she was finishing and wrapped his arms around her making sure he didn't get any of his blood on her. She turned around and wrapped her arms around him as well, crying into his shirt as he began to try and hush her. Her cries were silent but he could feel his shirt become wet, smell the tears and she was shaking in his arms. He led her out of the room and sat down on the ground, legs crossed and her in his lap, "Hush don't worry, hey and no one else will do that to you again unless you don't want them to." She looked up at him, her eyes looked scared and a little pink and puffy from crying. He smiled, "Don't worry I'll wont kill him but I think I made a point before I left that he shouldn't have done that. He looked like he had seen death or something."

Nakada smiled and laid her head on his chest a bit tired and not wanting to do that much but stay there with him, "I believe you."

Yoko smiled and then he thought of something, "Since we are alone, why don't we try to get to know each other more right here?" she looked at him, "The twins are asleep and someone can look after them. The demons are probably to scared to try and find us, I'm not sure about your friends."

Nakada smiled and closed her eyes for a second. Yoko thought she was asleep but then she opened then, "Well they are restarting the game again, so they wont be looking for as either. But why don't we go somewhere either then here?" Yoko nodded and they got up, but before they started walking Nakada looked at Yoko's hands and she noticed they were bleeding, "Yoko what did you do to your hands?"

Yoko looked at them as well and shrugged, "I can have a hard grip when I'm angry, as you already know."

Nakada shook her head placed her hands over the palm of his hands. She closed her eyes and her hands became ice blue. After they had changed colour, what looked like mist came down from her hands and onto his. When the colour and mist disappeared she opened her eyes and lifted her hands showing that his hands were healed. He looked at his hands and smiled as he looked at her, "You are a fighter and a healer?"

"And sometimes an entertainer but not the hentai way," she said with a smile as she took his hands and started walking through the tunnels until they came to a large hot spring. Nakada got out her bag and gave Yoko a pair of swimming trunks, "Here just take the rest of your clothes off and put those on like a pair of short pants. You can get changed over there." She pointed to a little room the earth had made and she went to one on the opposite side and put on an ice blue bikini.

When she came out Yoko was already swimming around in the spring and she smiled as she got in as well. Yoko turned around and saw the bikini she was wearing, "What in the three worlds is that? You look like your wearing a bra and underwear."

Nakada smiled and dunked her head and swam over to the other side of him and resurfaced. She turned to look at him, "It's called a bikini. Most human women wear these when they want to go swimming. I'm just wearing it so I can get a little bit cleaner then I would in a bathing suit. I normally don't wear these around people unless I have no choice."

Yoko smiled and nodded, "I can see the reason why. You usually are so…unrevealing when it comes to your body. And you make a point when you don't want to be touched in a certain spot," Yoko rubbed the place on his face where she always slapped him. They both smiled and then Yoko asked, "I know this is kind of sudden but you know that I have been with other women, but, have you been with any men?"

Nakada looked at him surprised and she looked up, "Well only once," Yoko stared at her, "It wasn't serious or anything just a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I mean I was only seven then so I didn't know that much or what to do," she looked at him and smiled, "The rest were just crushes and also a few blind dates."

Yoko looked at her confused, "What's a crush?"

Nakada sweat dropped, "Y-you have never heard of a crush?" he shook his head. Then ten more sweat drops appeared and she looked at the ceiling trying to think about it, "Well a crush is when you like someone very much. The only thing is, the person you have a crush on doesn't know you like them and you get kind of scared if they will refuse you so people usually keep it secret. That is about as much as I can tell you. Most of the crushes I've had were on people I didn't know. Just actors on T.V. that I thought were kind of cute. But mom always made fun of me with this actor named Orlando Bloom. He was playing the part of an elf and I thought he looked cute." Yoko smiled a little but he felt a slight pain in his stomach. Nakada turned to look at him when he began to wrap his arms around his stomach "You okay?"

He looked at her and smiled, "Yah I'm fine. My stomach just started hurting, that's all."

The teenager looked at Yoko with a worried look on her face. She moved next to him, "May I?" she asked raising her hand showing it had turned blue.

"I don't think I was injured in any way," the fox said with a smile, "It is probably just a cramp.'

"Or it could be the womb starting to break down. I just want to check and make sure." Yoko stared at her and nodded. He removed his arms from his stomach and Nakada placed her hand on it. Yoko twitched a little at the coldness Nakada's hand felt, but still let her do what ever she was doing.

He watched the girl close her eyes and tilt her head to the side. After a moment of nothing, she opened her eyes and her hand no longer felt cold, "It is the womb," she looked up at Yoko, "I can't do anything for the pain."

Yoko smiled as he held Nakada in a loving embrace, "Hey, it more uncomfortable than anything, don't worry about it."

After a while, they broke a part and Nakada began to swim a little. He smiled as he watched and began to rub his neck as it began to hurt a little, "Your neck sore too?"

He lowered his hand and nodded, "But it isn't that sore."

"Can I do something?" she asked as she swam over to him.

"What?" she smiled and turned him around and placed her fingers at the base of his neck. Her thumb was at the back of his neck while her fingers were on his shoulder. She began to message his shoulders and his eyes widened and then he closed them. Nakada heard him purr softly and she smiled.

"I'm guessing you are enjoying this?" she asked as she moved his hair over his shoulder.

He didn't look at her but he slowly nodded and said, "Yes I am…where did you learn to do this or is that a secret as well? I had forgotten to ask you the first time you did this."

Nakada chuckled a little, "My mom taught me the basics I became a bit inventive after a while," she began to rub his back with her knuckles in a soothing motion. She heard his purring increase "Is this all right?" she asked softly and he smiled.

"Do you really have to ask that question?" he asked and turned his head around a bit to look at her, "It feels great, I feel like I could fall asleep right now," he smiled and she did as well. Finally he turned around and looked at her, "You come with so many good surprises." He cupped her face a little and was leaning down for a kiss but he stopped and pulled back. He looked away and closed his eyes, "I'm sorry Nakada…" she silenced him with putting her finger in his lips.

"Hush, don't say anything," she said quietly and she cupped his face and began to move closer to his face. Yoko didn't do anything to stop her, instead he lowered his head towards her. But neither of them noticed Tolos walking around the corner. But when he saw them he immediately hid behind the wall of the tunnel and watched as Nakada began to kiss Yoko and he kissed her back. His eyes were wide as he watched them not believing at all what he was seeing.

He blinked a couple of times thinking it was just his imagination but he still saw them kissing. Doran will most definitely find this interesting. Tolos thought as he turned to run back to the camp.

"Are you sure about this?" Doran asked with his back to Tolos. He had decided not to participate in the "Truth or Dare" game and was still in his tent.

"Yes Doran, I saw it happen with my very own eyes," the fox demon said with his head bowed.

Doran turned to look at Tolos, "You have done well my friend, and you are a very good spy." Tolos shuddered, "Don't worry, your family is still safe, and I am not going to tell anyone what you are doing. Pretty soon, Yoko is no longer going to be the leader of this camp."

"Yoko something is wrong with Julio and Tolos!" Kuronue said as he burst through the flap of their tent the next day.

When the couple and Kuronue got outside, they saw the two demons running around chasing each other. Yoko looked at Nakada, "This usually happens when a demon takes in sugar."

Nakada's eyes widened, "THE GUM! When they swallowed, the sugar that was in their saliva that came from the gum was swallowed as well!"

Yoko smiled, "Well that solves one problem now all we have to do is wait until the sugar high leaves then," Nakada smiled.

"I wonder how long that is going to take."

"I honestly don't know," Yoko answered he wrapped his arms around Nakada and pulled her aside just as Julio jumped from a tent and landed where they had been.

Nakada had been carrying Dianna and Calan in the two-pouched carrier (or what ever it is called) and they both woke up from their nap and saw the demon on the ground. "What happened to him?" Dianna thought to her brother.

"I have no idea, but he looks kind of funny!"The twins laughed at this thought.

"Is he okay?" Nakada asked and Yoko went over to him and him over.

"Well he's still breathing he's just unconscious and will be fine when he wakes up," Yoko looked up and saw his babies were awake and smiled, "They seem to finely have woken up."

Nakada looked at the twins and saw that he was right, "I'll go back into the tent. It is probably a little more safer in there for them then it is out here."

Yoko nodded and returned his attention back to Julio, "I'll make sure he gets back to his tent and tie him up so if he wakes up and the sugar high hasn't left him he won't be jumping around all over the place." Nakada nodded and went into the tent while Yoko went and tied Julio up and went after Tolos along with everyone else.

When Yoko went into the tent he saw a note and went over to it.

Yoko

Went out to explore the tunnels for a while to see if the team and I missed anything. Took Dianna with me so don't worry I'll be back as soon as I can.

Nakada

Yoko smiled a little and chuckled as he read it and placed it down on the table again. He went to his bed of furs and saw that his bed was kind of messed up. When he was done Doran came through the tent's entrance. Yoko looked at him as he sat down on his bed of furs, "Do you want something Doran?"

Doran just stared at him, "I was just wondering, how can you love a human?" Yoko stared at Doran with wide eyes.

How did he figure it out? He thought, "When did you find this out?" he asked, his voice passive, not giving anything away.

Doran sneered, "You act like it is a common thing. What I find surprising is, not only did you fall in love with a human, but you fell in love with the human that has humiliated you more times than once."

Yoko continued to stare at the demon in front of him, "She has humiliated me on many accounts yes, but I have also hurt her on just as many. Nakada has forgiven me for what I have done, and I find that a miracle in itself. So I don't see why I shouldn't forgive her for what she has done to me."

Doran snickered as he folded his wings around himself, "A person like you shouldn't be our leader. You are getting too soft."

Yoko smirked, "So, is that what this is all about? Leadership? You know as well as I do that if anything should happen to me, Kuronue is next in line for leadership of this band."

Doran's composure never changed, "Yes, but he is getting soft as well. It is no secret that he and that violet haired girl are in love. He is getting soft, and like you, has made grave mistake in picking mates that are too weak and emotional. You and he have left an open door to be hurt, let's face it. Ever since those kids came here, this whole band has gone soft."

Yoko's eyes became cold, "I believe that this band has not become soft, but now has a heart. As for the people that Kuronue and I have picked, they are by far weak, and have not made us soft."

"Well, your eyes most certainly don't show that you have turned soft, but, I'm guessing that is the only thing that is left of Yoko Kurama, King of Thieves, and your other names. You have just become…weak." Something burst inside of Yoko, he did not like being called weak. Got him. Doran thought as Yoko came running at him at top speed.

Doran instantly opened his wings at a tremendous speed, and as they opened, sharp daggers flew from them, heading straight towards Yoko.

You know what people say about when a horrible moment happens and time seems to slow down? That is a bullshit lie. Yoko felt daggers pierce his body as he fell backwards from Doran. He just stared as he saw Doran laugh at his falling form. The great fox hit the ground and everything went dark.

When Yoko woke up the next day, all of his wounds were healed and he saw that he was in his tent. He took a deep breath and instantly saw Nakada in his line of vision. She looked worried for some reason and he smiled, "Now why are you worried Kitty?" he asked.

She instantly looked relieved as she kneeled down beside him and wrapped her arms around his chest and began to softly cry. "Never scare me like that again Yoko," she said through tears.

Yoko looked at her and placed his arms around her, wondering why she was so upset. Then it came back to him. He sat up and held Nakada close to him, looking around for Doran, "He's gone Yoko," Nakada said with her face still pressed to his chest, "The Elements killed him shortly after he had attacked you. They also tried to keep you alive until everyone and I came her to try and heal you. You are one hell of a lucky fox. Three daggers came too close for comfort at your heart."

The fox held the still weeping girl as he began to think about how lucky he really was. He had almost died, leaving his children and Nakada alone.
