Chapter Six- Truth Or…Dare
Hiei and Shiei waited as patiently as they could while everyone else ate their cake. Shiei, having less patience then Hiei, began to glare out into space as she waited. Finally after about five minutes everyone was finished eating his or her cake.

Everyone then tried to figure out what to do. Many suggestions were put out and every single one was voted no good, until the suggestion of playing Truth or dare came up.

Yusuke looked over at Kuwabara, the one who made the suggestion, and said, "I like that idea. Let's play Truth or Dare."

Kurama looked over at Yusuke, "No, Yusuke, we need an activity that everyone is willing to play, not just you."

"Well, no one has said they didn't want to play."

Kurama sighed mentally and looked over at everyone else to see if they realized why he was trying to avoid playing Truth or Dare. Sola, being able to read Kurama's facial expressions, looked over at Yusuke, "I agree with Kurama, I don't think it is a wise idea to play that. Besides, how would you convince those two to play?" Sola pointed over at Hiei and then at Shiei as she spoke.

Yusuke looked over at Hiei and Shiei, Shiei was still glaring and Hiei looked annoyed. Yusuke shrugged, "I don't know…" Yusuke looked over at Keiko, "You want to play Truth or Dare?"

Keiko looked at Yusuke, "I will only play if the rules are placed right." Everyone knew exactly what she was talking about. Keiko looked at Kurama, "I think Kurama would be the best rule maker here."

Kurama looked at Keiko and took the hint, "Ok fine, we will play Truth or Dare. The one major thing is…" Kurama paused for a second; he knew the reaction he was going to get from what he was about to say, "…no perverted dares."

Yusuke blinked a few times and then looked at Kurama, "Hey! No fair, that takes the fun out of it."

"Why do you think he made that rule?"

"Oh come on, he was not thinking-" Yusuke stopped talking suddenly and looked over at Keiko, "Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Kurama sighed mentally and looked at Yusuke, "Calm down Yusuke, I only made that rule for personal reasons."

Yusuke looked over at Kurama, "Oh…"

Kurama looked at each person, "Well we know Yusuke and Kuwabara are going to play. What about the rest of you?"

Keiko nodded, "Yeah, those rules are good enough for me."

Sola shrugged slightly, "I don't care, but I guess I'll play, hate to be a party pooper."

Botan smiled slightly, "Yeah I'll play." She looked over at Yukina, "I'll explain the rules to you ok, Yukina?" Yukina nodded and Botan began to explain the rules to Yukina.

Kurama looked over at Hiei and Shiei, "Well I guess I'll go along with this. Now what about you two?" Hiei and Shiei looked at Kurama and gave him the "what do you think" look. Kurama showed no reaction to the looks, "Well you do know what happens to people who don't play right?"

Hiei looked at Kurama, "Do I look like I care?"

Kurama again showed no reaction, "No, you don't look like you care, but you should know that if you don't play, one of your biggest secrets gets told to everyone."

"Now why would I tell anyone-" Hiei stopped short and looked at Kurama while thinking, "He wouldn't tell everyone about that would he?" Hiei growled slightly at the thought and said, "Fine, I'll play your stupid ningen game." Hiei then walked over to the group, but he still kept a distance from them.

Shiei was shocked at how easily Hiei was tricked into playing. Shiei smirked; no one knew her biggest secrets, so that wouldn't work on her. Shiei looked over at Kurama and wonder what he was going to do to try and get her to play.

Kurama looked over at Shiei, "That applies to you too, Shiei."

"Hn! You don't even know my biggest secrets so you are no threat to me."

"Are you sure about that, Shiei?"

Shiei's eyes narrowed as she looked over at Kurama. Her eyes suddenly widened back to normal as she shot a telepathic message to Kurama, "How do YOU know about that?"

Kurama ignored the telepathic message and continued to look over at Shiei, "So, are you going to play?"

Shiei growled slightly, "Fine." She then walked over to the group while thinking, "Damn that fox, how does he know about that?"

When Shiei got over to the group they all sat down on the floor, in a circle, to play. Kuwabara turned and looked over towards Yukina, "Hey Yukina!"

Botan, who was sitting between the two, sighed mentally and looked over at Yukina, "Yukina, do me a favor and get me a glass of water from the kitchen." Yukina nodded and left for the kitchen to get the glass of water. Botan then looked at Kuwabara and made her oar appear. She then bashed Kuwabara in the head with the oar. Kuwabara fell over unconscious as Botan made her oar disappear.

Yusuke, who was sitting next to Kuwabara, looked over at the unconscious Kuwabara, "Wow…" Yusuke turned to Keiko, who was sitting on the other side of him, "What brought that on?"

Keiko turned to face Yusuke, "Probably the way he acts around Yukina." Yusuke shrugged and then Keiko turned to Kurama who was sitting on the other side of her, "I never knew anything could bother Botan that much."

Kurama nodded, "Nor did I."

Sola looked at Kurama, who was sitting to the right of her, "Kurama?"

Kurama turned to face Sola, "What?"

"She isn't usually that violent, is she?"

"No, not usually. I guess even people like Botan have a limit of tolerance for certain things."

Hiei and Shiei looked at each other and then back at the group; they were un-phased by Botan's behavior, they were actually a bit glad she did that, now they didn't need to listen to the moron.

Yukina came back with the glass of water and looked over at Kuwabara, "What happened?"

"Oh nothing serious he just accidentally hit his head. He'll be fine, just come on over and enjoy the game." Yukina nodded and sat back down between Botan and Hiei. She handed the glass of water to Botan and Botan smiled slightly before drinking the water.

After Botan finished drinking the water Yusuke looked at everyone, "Well I guess I'll start." Before anyone could object Yusuke's statement he looked over at Kurama, "Kurama, truth or dare?"

Kurama thought about it for a moment and then looked over at Yusuke, "I'm going with truth."

"Ok, so Kurama, did you enjoy your revival from death?"

Kurama blinked as he realized what Yusuke had just asked him. He glanced over at Sola and then went back to looking at Yusuke. Kurama was about to answer the question when Sola stood up and started to head towards the other room. Kurama looked over at Sola as she left the room. Kurama then looked back over at Yusuke and sighed mentally, "No, I didn't enjoy it."

Yusuke snickered mentally, "Oh really?"

"Yes, Yusuke, really."

"Ok, fine. It's your turn Kurama, ask someone truth or dare."

"I know how the game works, Yusuke." Kurama looked over at Botan, "Botan, truth or dare?"

Botan without much thought said in a very confident chipper voice, "Dare."

Kurama thought for a bit and then said, "Ok, I dare you to drink what ever drink I bring back from the kitchen. You have to drink the whole thing no matter how bad it tastes." Botan nodded and Kurama stood up and headed to the kitchen.

When Kurama got into the kitchen he looked around to see what he had to work with. As he was looking around he could hear Youko in the back of his head, "So how disgusting are you going to make this drink?"

"Well considering I don't have much to work with here, I doubt it will be that bad, why?"

"I could help you make it more disgusting."

"Why would you do that? This kind of joke seems a bit bellow you."

"Hey you never let me have my kind of fun so I have to make due with what I can do…"

"I see. Ok, fine, what do you have in mind."

"Oh, you know me. My demonic plants can do more then just kill people."

"Oh come on that's just cruel."

"Hey you asked me what I had in mind, it's your choice if you want take my advice or not."

With that final statement Youko silenced himself so that Kurama could balance his options. Kurama sighed slightly, "Well he is right, that would make the drink gross…" Kurama then started to go through the cabinets, pulling random stuff out and throwing them into a blender. After about five different things were thrown into the blender he stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a seed, "I can't believe I am taking HIS advice…" He closed his eyes and the seed turned into a small tree that had a small berry on it. Kurama plucked the berry and threw it into the blender, "Then again, I'm using one of the good berries, so no major harm done." Kurama blinked and stared at the blender, "Ok, the only damage is this drink is going to taste really weird…" Kurama turned on the blender and made an odd colored drink. He then turned off the blender and poured the drink it a glass. Kurama looked at the drink in the glass, "I am glad I am not the one drinking this…" Kurama then picked up the glass and walked back into the room where everyone was waiting.

Kurama walked over to Botan and handed her the glass. Botan looked at the odd colored drink in glass, "What's in this?"

Kurama looked at the glass, "Just some random juices that were in my fridge."

"Oh ok…" Botan then looked at the glass one last time and took a sip of the drink. Botan's face suddenly showed a look of disgust and she stared over at Kurama, "I think I've had enough of this stuff…"

"The dare was to drink the whole thing no matter how disgusting it was, so you have drink it all."

Botan looked at the glass again and took a deep breath. She then drank down the liquid in one big gulp. She twitched slightly and then looked over at Kurama, "Remind me to never take a dare from you ever again, that stuff was gross."

Sola came walking back into the room as Botan was drinking the drink and she stood next to Kurama. Botan handed the cup to Kurama, "Here you can have this now…"

Kurama took the glass and turned to see Sola next to him, "Oh, you're back. Would you mind helping me clean up in the kitchen?"

Sola blinked slowly a few times and then nodded, "Yeah sure." The two of them walked into the kitchen and began to clean up. While Sola was cleaning she looked over at Kurama, "What was in that drink anyway?"

"Oh, nothing special…just a few random juices and such…" Kurama didn't want to tell Sola about the berry, he honestly didn't want anyone to know about that.

While the two were busy cleaning the kitchen, the game was continuing in the other room. Botan looked over at Yukina, "Truth or Dare, Yukina?"

Yukina looked thoughtful for a second and then said, "Truth."

"Ok, Yukina, why do you stay here in the human world?"

"I'm looking for my lost brother. I couldn't find him anywhere in demon world so I thought maybe he was here in human world."

Shiei glanced over at Hiei to see if he was having any reaction to Yukina's statement, but he was doing a very good job of keeping his reactions in his head. Shiei smirked for she heard every thought that was running through his head at the moment, and she wasn't even trying to read his mind.

Botan nodded, "Ok, Yukina, now you have ask someone truth or dare."

Yukina looked at the group and then stopped at Keiko, "Keiko, truth or dare?"

Keiko thought for a second and said, "Truth."

"Do you like the snow?"

"Yes, I do. It's fun to just relax while watching the snow fall."

Yukina smiled slightly, "I agree."

Keiko smiled slightly, she knew she answered the question so that Yukina wouldn't feel un-welcomed. Keiko then looked over at Yusuke annoyed, "Yusuke! Truth or dare?"

Yusuke just looked over at Keiko, "Truth." He usually only said dare, but he knew he wasn't going to get any good dares from Keiko.

"Ok, since you seem to be so interested in revivals, did you enjoy your revival?"

"Hey I said it then, I'll say it again, it was a nice kiss." Keiko sighed slightly for she had a feeling he was going say that. Yusuke then looked over the group to try and figure out whom to ask. Yusuke then looked over at Hiei, "Hiei, truth or dare?"

Hiei smirked slightly, "Dare." Everyone had a feeling Hiei was going to say dare, they all knew how arrogant he could be. There was no way he was going to swallow his pride and say truth.

Yusuke thought for a bit and looked at the group while thinking. He then looked back Hiei, "I dare you to kiss Shiei…."

Hiei growled and glared at Yusuke, "Hn! What if I refuse?"

"Remember if you don't play, one of your biggest secrets gets told to everyone."

Hiei turned to face the speaker, which happened to be Kurama walking in from the kitchen. Sola was walking a bit behind Kurama, and giving him a strange look. Hiei glared at Kurama for he realized in his anger he accidentally sent the telepathic message to Kurama as well as Yusuke.

Keiko looked over at Kurama, "Hiei can refuse to do the dare. Yusuke is breaking the rules you set before we started the game."

Kurama looked at Keiko and then at Yusuke, "It seems he's found a loop-hole in the rules. Yes I did say nothing perverted, but kissing isn't necessarily considered perverted."

Sola stepped around Kurama and sat back down with the group. She then looked over at Kurama while thinking, "His spirit energy has changed slightly…what's wrong with him?"

Hiei and Shiei looked over at Kurama, they were a bit surprised Kurama was not objecting the dare. Shiei stared at Kurama and then thought, "Oh the baka kitsune…no wonder." "Hey Youko, stop controlling Kurama."

Kurama looked over at Shiei while thinking, "Oh darn she figured me out." It was true, Youko was controlling Kurama's body again. Kurama then blinked a few times and looked around. He sighed mentally for he knew no way to get Hiei and Shiei out of the dare now, Youko had done too much damage already.

Hiei and Shiei growled slightly before looking away from Yusuke to look at each other. Hiei leaned over and kissed Shiei lightly on the cheek while thinking, "Damn it, why this?" Shiei was too busy thinking of ways to get back at Yusuke to hear Hiei's thought.

After the kiss was over Kurama went and sat back down next to Sola. Sola looked over at Kurama with a confused look. Kurama looked over at Sola, "Let me guess you sensed the change in my spirit energy before?" Sola nodded slightly and Kurama said, "All I can say is, it was Youko." Sola nodded again to show she understood and then went back to paying attention to the game.

Hiei knew in order to keep his secrets safe he had to continue the game, so he looked over at Shiei, "Shiei, truth or dare."

Shiei glared at Hiei, "Dare." There was a very distinct growl in Shiei voice as she spoke the single word.

Hiei could tell she was still pissed about the dare he had received, though he was pissed at Yusuke too. Hiei thought for a second and then said, "Shiei, I dare you to talk nonstop for a minute."

Shiei growled and glared at Hiei, "What the hell? How dare you even speak such nonsense. I can't believe you are making me do this. After what you just got yourself into and the worst part was I was involved with it. What the hell, Hiei?" Shiei continue to complain for a whole minute as soon as the minute ended she stopped complaining and glared at Hiei, "Hn!"

Hiei rolled his eyes very slightly, he asked for her to talk for a minute and got a minute of her complaining, he hadn't expected anything more or anything less then that.

Shiei then turned and glared at Yusuke, "Detective, truth or dare?"

Yusuke looked at Shiei and feared the glare a bit, but despite it he said, "Dare."

Shiei smirked, it was time for her to get her revenge on him, "I dare you to climb up onto the roof and run around up there for awhile."

Yusuke blinked and looked over at Kurama, "So how do I get onto your roof?"

Kurama sighed mentally and stood up, "Follow me." The two left the room and about a half a minute later Kurama returned without Yusuke, "He's up there running around as you told him to." All of a sudden a loud thud was heard from outside. About a half minute after that, Yusuke came walking in with a few cuts on his arms; he also had a few plant leaves stuck in his hair.

"What happened to you?"

"I was running on the roof like I was suppose to. I then lost my footing and fell off the roof. I ended up landing in some of Kurama's rose bushes…"

Shiei smirked slightly as if she had planned for all that to happen. Kurama had a look of shock and bit of horror as he took in the fact of his rose bushes being smashed by Yusuke's fall.

Yusuke took out the remaining leaves from his hair and then looked over at Sola, "Sola, truth or dare?"

Sola looked over at Yusuke and said, "Truth." She figured either way he was probably going to come up with something bad so she took the lesser of the two evils.

"Ok, so Sola, did you enjoy reviving Kurama?"

Sola glanced at Kurama and then over at Yusuke. Sola was about answer when a loud crash sound came from the kitchen. Kurama looked toward the Kitchen, "Oh, I better go and see what that was…" Kurama then walked on over to the kitchen.

Sola watched Kurama leave the room and then she looked at Yusuke, "No, I didn't enjoy reviving him."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really."

"Ok, fine."

Sola looked at the group and then over at Botan, "Botan, truth or dare?" Kurama came walking back into the room as Sola began to ask her question. He sat back down with the group and didn't say a word about the crash that had happened in the kitchen.

Botan thought for a second and then said, "Truth."

Sola looked around for a second and then spotted Kuwabara who was still on the floor unconscious, "Why did you smack Kuwabara with your oar and make him go unconscious?"

Botan thought for a second and then answered, "I don't know, just felt like it…"

Sola could tell there was more to that answer, but she didn't want to force it, "Oh ok."

Botan was about to ask the next person truth or dare when they heard someone come down the steps that lead to the second floor.

"Man, you guys are so noisy! Can't a girl get some sleep around here?"

There we go, cliffhanger in a random story. Man that chapter was long. Well, at least it wasn't super short. Anyway, I hope people like this chapter. Please leave a review so I know what you guys think of it.
