After quite a while since this story's debut, I finally got enough reviews to start writing again. So please enjoy the first episode (chapter) of Truth or Dare X – Shaman King Edition.
x~X~x
The Shamans all gathered in the show room, each with a different version of a nervous look. Man, I love my job… "Ok, now that we have enough reviews, I can finally start the show" I said into the TV camera.
"Oh joy, we get to be abused and humiliated on national TV. How could this get any better?" Len said sarcastically.
I grinned. "And just for that catty remark, Len, you're going first" Len groaned as I picked up my deck of dare cards. I flipped over the first card and grinned even wider. "Oh, Len, I have a feeling you're gonna hate this one. SK-fan7 wants to know… are you scared of Anna?"
Len's eyes widened and his cheeks turned red. "Don't be absurd! Of course I-"
"Hold on there, Len…" I cut him off. "Before you make an answer that you and I know is, of course, a lie, everyone hold out your wrists…"
Everyone got a confused look on their faces, but held out their wrists. I snapped my fingers and silver bands appeared on their wrists.
Yoh was the first to ask. "What on earth was this thing?"
"It's an Electro-lie band…" I answered. "Trey, you wanna tell him what it does?"
The blue-haired boy nodded. "If any of us tell a lie when Koady asks us a Truth question, well… let's just say that the pain of being burnt to a crisp by Zeke's Spirit of Fire will seem like a mild sun burn…"
Everyone suddenly went pale and stared at the Electro-lie band.
I smirked. "And not only that, but it will also, immediately, teleport a bunch of fangirls and fanboys into the room and they will fight over what's left of you, a new feature I've added. So, unless you want to be electrocuted and fought over like the last slice of pizza, then I recommend you don't lie… that means you Len…"
Len growled and huffed, embarrassedly. "Fine! If you must know, I am scared of Anna. She's like a harpy, and I pity Yoh for having to marry HEEEEEEEEEEER!" Ren screamed that last bit as he was punched into the wall by Anna's Shikigamis.
"Don't insult me in my presence or you're in for a world of pain…" Anna said nonchalantly.
I sweat drop. "Anna, I thought that Len and the others destroyed the Shikigamis, how did you get them back?" I asked.
The Shikigamis returned to Anna in their paper form and she put them back into the Tome of the Shaman. "They weren't destroyed, they just ran out of energy and returned to their paper form, which was when I grabbed them when no one was looking and kept them…"
"Ok…" I said slowly. "Next up, is a dare for Yoh, also from SK-fan7. He or she, I don't really know which (no offense!), wants you to… oh god… they want you to Slap Anna and then run for your life!"
Yoh gulped and turned white a sheet. "Can't I do anything else? Run into a brick wall? Go swimming in sulphuric acid? Have Zeke burn me to ashes? ANYTHING!?" he screamed, tears running down his face like waterworks.
"Sorry, Yoh, I feel for you… but this person really wants it and I can't let them down. So just make it quick and… I'll see you from the other side…"
Yoh had anime tears running down his face, as did Morty, Rio, Trey and Amidamaru. "We'll miss you, Yoh…" they all sobbed.
"I'll miss you guys too…" he sobbed back. Yoh stood up and walked over to Anna. "Anna, please, whatever you do, just do it quick and painlessly…" He raised his hand slowly, everyone's eyes following it as it made its way slightly behind Yoh's torso. The brunette silently made his vows and with one swift motion, his hand made contact with Anna's cheek, resulting in a loud SLAP sound echoing through the room. The room fell silent as they awaited the punishment that Yoh was sure to receive any second now.
Yoh's eyes were squeezed shut and covered his head with his arms, defensively. "Am I dead yet?" he asked.
We all glanced over at Anna, waiting for her reaction. Her bangs hung over her eyes, ominously and her cheek was beginning to grow red from the hard action of Yoh's hand hitting it. Then, something happened that absolutely no one would expect… Anna… began softly weeping and tears began running down her face. She raised her head and everyone saw that it was tears that were running down her face because they were coming from her trembling eyes.
"Why would you do that, Yoh… I thought you loved me…" she wept. The blonde girl then began bawling out like a little girl after losing her pet and sunk to her knees.
Everyone's mouths were close to hitting the floor. No one, not even me, expected something like this, not in a million years!
Yoh knelt down and placed a hand on Anna's shoulder. "Anna, I'm so sorry… I didn't want to do it, he made me…" he said in a comforting tone.
Anna looked at Yoh lovingly, and then her expression changed to her usual cold and heartless one, with the addition of an evil smirk. Oh god… YOH, RUN!
"AHHHHHH!" Yoh cried out in pain, clutching the front of his pants and sinking to the floor. Every boy in the room could feel his pain just looking at him.
Anna stood up and blew the smoke from her fist. "Sorry, Yoh, but you had that coming…" There's the Anna we all know and fear…
"Ok, next dare…" I said. I picked up the next card of my deck and grinned at it. "Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this one. Guest has a dare for Len and Trey…" the two looked cautiously at me. "Now, it's a choice dare, so you can either kiss for 10 seconds and Len can't do a thing about it, or Trey gets to hit you as many times as he pleases for the rest of the episode and Len can't retaliate"
Both shamans' mouths dropped like flies. Len turned to face Trey. "Trey, I don't think I need to tell you what to choose" he said.
Trey nodded. He jumped on top of Len and started beating him senseless. Everyone acted as if that was a normal thing… actually, it probably was, considering them.
"Alright, while Len takes Trey's beating, let's move onto the final dare of the day. And as a special treat, the last dare is one of my own" I said, chuckling. Everyone turned pale. "The final dare is for the cutest person and hottest person in the room…"
"Oh, it is such a burden being so downright gorgeous…" Sharona said dramatically, crying tears into a handkerchief. "Why must the beautiful suffer so greatly?"
"Not you, Sharona!" I yelled. "I said the cutest, not the craziest!" Kana and the rest of the Halloween girls couldn't help but laugh at Sharona as she went into a corner to sulk, even I had a chuckle too. I walked over to Lyserg and Zeke. "I was talking about you two…"
Everyone in the room stared at me like I was nuts. Even Trey halted on his assault on Len. "…What?" the all chorused.
"What, I'm gay, sue me" I pouted. "Anyway, you two follow me" I dragged Lyserg and Zeke into another room and shut the door, making sure to lock it. Both boys gulped nervously as I made my way over to them.
"W-What is that?!"
"Get that away from me!"
"Keep it away!"
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
I'm sure everyone could hear Lyserg and Zeke's cries of terror from out there. They're probably wondering what I'm doing, well I think I'll show them…
After getting Zeke and Lyserg ready, I told them their cues and went back into the other room, where the others were nervously and anxiously waiting.
"Koady… what did you do to them?" Yoh asked.
I smirked. "Why don't you see for yourself…" I snapped my fingers, and a puff of smoke appeared beside me. From the smoke, Lyserg and Zeke appeared, but not in the same condition they were before…
Instead of their normal clothes, Lyserg was dressed in a green two-piece swimsuit with his hair tied into two pigtails on the sides of his head, while Zeke was dressed in a red and black swimming speedo that showed pretty much everything but his boy-parts. Both boys had red streaks running across their faces, showing that they were obviously embarrassed by their new wardrobe.
Everyone in the room fell silent… that is, until the silence was broken by Millie and Ellie, who had exploded into laughter and were rolling on the floor, trying desperately to catch their breath. This reaction was soon followed by everyone else in the room doing the exact same thing, even Anna couldn't hold back her laughs.
"You can't be serious…" Zeke muttered angrily, trying to cover as much of his body as possible with his arms. "You expect us to wear these, and let you take photographic evidence of it?!" The laughing grew even harder.
I nodded. "My Shounen-ai fan club ran out of material to ogle over, so I was appointed to get a seme and an uke together and have them pose for the camera. But since I don't know any semes or ukes I just settled for the two of you. Lyserg is cute and adorable, and Zeke is hot and dangerous, so that's close enough"
"I'll never live this down…" Lyserg sighed, covering his face with his hands.
Yoh managed to catch his breath while still laughing. "I-I th-thought you were a-a girl at first, L-Lyserg, but this is too much!" He collapsed on the floor again, struggling to get oxygen into his lungs.
Zeke looked about ready to punch a wall. "Let's just get this over with…"
I laughed. "After I end the show." I turned to face the camera. "Hope you guys enjoyed the first episode of Truth or Dare X – Shaman King edition, be sure to stay tuned for the next episode that's sure to come out soon… I hope…"
