Author: I know I left it so badly last time, but I needed some time to decide how Hiei would respond to that question. I'm still not sure and I may change it several times.
Hiei: I would say she is annoying and I hate her.
Author: But that would be a lie, and you can't lie when you agreed to the rules of the game.
Hiei: Hn.
Author: Enjoy the chapter!
--------------------------
Chapter 6
Hiei was trying to decide how to answer his sister's question as to what he thought about Botan. He knew he couldn't lie, because he had agreed to the rules. He did not hate her, and he thought she was gorgeous. He did not want to say that. Finally he decided on what to say.
"I no longer hate the Onna, and have decided that as long as she is not being annoying she is attractive," Hiei said blushing.
Botan blushed bright red. Kurama growled low in his throat, and the others sat in stunned silence. Then Yukina smiled, and began to giggle.
That got everyone else laughing and the game continued. Keiko was relieved that the girl laughed, because she was afraid that Hiei and Kurama were going to start fighting, and since Botan was attached to Hiei she would not only be the reason the two were fighting, but she would be in the way.
"Truth or dare, Fool?" Hiei said to Kuwabara.
"Dare," he answered immediately.
"I dare you to wear that dress all day tomorrow as well as the rest of the night," Hiei said smirking at his clever dare.
Botan started laughing, and Kuwabara turned to her, "Truth or dare, Botan?"
"Dare," she said feeling confident that she could handle whatever Kuwabara threw at her.
"I dare you to wear black for one week," he said smirking.
Botan smiled, "Keiko, Shizuru, Yukina, wanna go shopping tomorrow?"
"Yeah, we haven't been shopping together in a long time!" Keiko said excited.
"Sure, you will need some help finding black," Shizuru said.
"Of course I would love to go. You know how much I love spending time with you three," Yukina said sweetly.
"Onna, you have forgotten that you are stuck to me for at least a week, and I am not allowed to leave Genkai's temple," Hiei said smugly.
"Hmm… well Koenma knows the rules of Truth or Dare, and I don't own any black clothes, so I'm sure he will let you go with us tomorrow. I will call him on my communicator. And Kuwabara I will have to be in my normal clothes until I go shopping, but we will go first thing in the morning, and then I will change when we get back here, deal?" she said.
"Deal," Kuwabara replied.
Botan pulled out her communication mirror, and pushed a few buttons. Suddenly Koenma was on the screen asking Botan what she needed. Botan told her and Koenma immediately refused. Botan used her cat face and pleaded with him.
"But Koenma, I can't back down on a dare, and I don't have any black clothes. And unless you want to release the demonic collar, and then try to find Hiei to put it back on, I would suggest it would be easier to just let him come with us to the mall," Botan said meowing at the end of her plea.
"Fine, Botan, but just this one time," he said.
"Great, are you gonna send me your credit card?" she asked using the cat face again.
"Yes, here I will send George with it now. Now leave me be I am busy with some important paperwork for my father!" Koenma said hanging up.
"Wow you are good Botan," Keiko praised the girl.
"I know. I can get whatever I want from Koenma by using that face!" Botan said laughing
Suddenly George was in the room. He handed Botan the credit card and left. Botan put it in her purse and then came back to sit down and play again. It was her turn, and she was going to make sure everyone was afraid of her.
"Yusuke, truth or dare?" Botan asked.
Yusuke thought about it. He knew he had to pick truth at least twice, and he figured that he would be better of picking it from Botan; she would not be able to come up with a good one.
"Since I am obligated to choose truth twice during this game I will get them over with. Truth, Botan," he said smiling to himself.
"If you had to choose which one of the following options for a romantic relationship, which would it be? Kurama, Hiei, or Kuwabara?" Botan asked smirking.
Yusuke blushed. This was not what he wanted. He had hoped that Botan would go easy on him.
"Payback's a bitch," Botan said grinning.
"Well, Hiei is… Um… Kurama is… I would not pick Kuwabara! Kurama looks the most like a girl. But Hiei, is the most likely to fight me. I think I would… oh damn Botan! This sucks!" Yusuke said blushing.
Botan laughed. She knew this was embarrassing to Hiei and Kurama too, but it was more so to Yusuke. Plus she had to get him back for his question earlier.
"Come on Yusuke it couldn't be that hard, unless you are harboring a secret crush on them both," Keiko said laughing.
"Damnit Keiko! I don't like either of them like that. Not that if I didn't think like that I wouldn't," he stammered.
The girls laughed harder. Yusuke just kept making it worse for himself. Even Kurama and Hiei were chuckling. Botan had a feeling this would be the best one of the night.
"Okay fine I would pick Kurama, he is the prettier of the two," Yusuke said turning bright red.
"Look, his face matches Kurama's hair, they would be so cute together," Shizuru said smirking.
Everyone laughed. Shizuru got up and went to the other room getting one of several cases of beer. She knew her next dares for everyone. She would start daring people to start drinking. It would make the game more fun for everyone.
Yusuke finally composed himself and turned to Shizuru, "Truth or dare Shiz?"
"Truth, but only because your dares are stupid," she replied.
"Do you like any of the guys in this room?" Yusuke asked trying to embarrass her.
"Not like that," she said simply. "Kurama, truth or dare?"
"Um… dare…" Kurama said softy.
"I dare you to chug this," she said smirking.
"What is my other option?" Kurama asked.
"Well I don't know what the rest of the group will say, but I have an idea… you chug or you make out with Hiei. Anyone have a better one?" Shizuru asked, grinning.
"Nope, I like the way you think Shiz. I'm all for it!" Yusuke said, grinning.
"Yeah Zuru, you are awesome at this game," Kuwabara said.
"You know I think that if the two of you got together you would actually say my name," Shizuru said, sarcastically.
"Okay, Shizuru, give it to me," Kurama said with a sigh.
Shizuru grinned and handed Kurama a beer. He eyed it warily, and then popped the top; he took a deep breath and began chugging. He downed the entire beer in a minute. Shizuru looked impressed, when he got up and walked to the trash can bringing it into the room. He had a feeling that the dares would get a little out of hand from now on.
"Keiko, truth or dare?" Kurama asked.
"Dare," she said.
"I dare you to be nice to Yusuke for the rest of the night," Kurama said smirking.
Keiko groaned and turned to Yukina, "Truth or dare Yukina?"
"Dare," she said softly.
"I dare you to buy and wear one specific thing that I tell you to when we go shopping tomorrow," Keiko said grinning, a plan forming in her mind.
"Okay," she said then turned to Shizuru, "Truth or dare Shizuru?"
"Dare kiddo," she replied.
"I dare you to wear pink when we go shopping tomorrow," she said.
"Alright. Yo Botan, truth or dare?" Shizuru asked.
"Dare," she answered without hesitation.
"I dare you to chug one of these," Shizuru said.
Botan had no idea what it was, and Shizuru peeled the label off one of them and opened it and handed it to Botan. Botan quickly downed it, and then started giggling. Hiei and Kurama glared at Shizuru. They had a feeling Botan did not hold her liquor well, and they were right. She was giggling and asking Shizuru for another beer. Shizuru laughed and told Botan she was a lightweight and she was not allowed to have anymore. Then Shizuru told her it was her turn to pick someone.
"Kuwabara, truth or dare?" Botan said whispering.
"Dare," Kuwabara said.
"I dare you to try that stuff Shizuru has. It's really good, but you have to drink it really fast," Botan said giggling.
Shizuru quickly popped a top, and knowing her brother was a lightweight handed him a beer. Kuwabara quickly chugged it. He also began giggling, and put his arm around Yukina. Hiei started to protest, but Botan laid her hand on his arm and told him he was pretty when he was purple like that. Kurama began to be concerned about her and quickly moved to sit on her other side. Both demons glared at each other, warning the other to back off.
"Hey, Hiei, truth or dare?" Kuwabara said still holding Yukina's hand.
"Dare," Hiei said knowing he could handle anything the oaf's drunken mind could come up with.
"I dare you to hold Botan's hand for the rest of the night," he said snickering.
Hiei said nothing and gently pulled Botan's hand into his. She started to protest, but he explained to her that it was his dare. She quickly agreed and began giggling again.
Hiei turned to Shizuru, "Truth or dare?"
"Truth," she said smirking.
"Do you love the godling?" he asked.
Shizuru froze, "How could you know that? Yes I am in love with Koenma," she quickly said regaining her calm.
Botan started giggling again, "You love Koenma! He's a dork!"
Everyone laughed at Botan's frank attitude, and Shizuru suggested they keep her drunk all the time. Hiei and Kurama quickly refuted that idea and told Shizuru to go it was her turn.
"Keiko, truth or dare honey?" Shizuru said stressing the word dare.
"Dare!" Keiko said knowing what Shizuru was going to do and wanting to prove that she could hold her liquor better than Botan.
"I dare you to chug one of these," she said tossing a bottle to Keiko.
Keiko chugged the bottle and almost fell over. Yusuke caught her and asked her if she was okay. She smiled and giggled telling him she was and that she was really happy he had caught her. Then without missing a beat she asked him if he wanted truth or dare.
"Well, I am going to say truth so I have both of my truths out of the way," Yusuke rationalized taking a beer from Shizuru.
"Who is your favorite?" she asked slurring a bit.
"You," he replied quickly. He knew Keiko was drunk, but she wanted to pretend like she wasn't. He also knew it was Shizuru's plan to get everyone drunk, and he decided he liked the idea so he would help.
"Yo, Kurama, truth or dare man," Yusuke said popping the top on his third beer.
"I believe I will choose dare this time Yusuke," Kurama said thoughtfully.
"I dare you to chug a whole six-pack in under ten minutes," Yusuke said grinning. He of course knew Kurama could handle a six-pack, but no one could if they had to drink them in under ten minutes.
Kurama looked distressed, "What is my other option?"
"Make out with Hiei," he said looking around for agreement. He got several nods, and decided he had the majority, so Kurama chose the six-pack. By then Shizuru decided Yusuke was helping and got a few more cases out. She handed Kurama a six-pack and he chugged all six in under ten minutes. He shook his head and grinned.
Kurama turned to Keiko, "Truth or dare Keiko?"
Keiko grinned, "Dare!"
"I dare you to let me tie your's and Yusuke's wrists together for the rest of the night," he said slurring slightly.
"Okay!" she readily agreed.
Kurama quickly put some of his spirit energy into some vines and tied Yusuke's and Keiko's wrists together. Keiko giggled and lifted her hand up. She giggled even more when Yusuke's hand came up to. By this time Yusuke was drunk too, and started laughing with her.
"Botan, truth or dare?" Keiko said still giggling.
"Dare," Botan replied giggling at her friend.
"I dare you to ask Youko to come out and play," Keiko said laughing even more.
"Okay," Botan said and then turned to Kurama. "Youko, come out and play. It's fun!"
A sly grin crossed the red-heads face as he slowly began to change. His red hair lengthened and turned a beautiful silver. His ears disappeared and fox's ears took their place on top of his head. Then a beautiful silver tail appeared. And finally his beautiful green eyes turned a startling gold.
Hiei hoped that the alcohol had not gotten to Youko; however he was not pleased when he realized it had. Youko had turned to Botan and asked her if he could hold her hand. She agreed and then realized she no longer had a hand of her own and started giggling. She informed Youko of this and they both started laughing like mad. So did Keiko and Yusuke. Hiei was beginning to regret playing this game. Someone then reminded Botan it was her turn.
"Hiei, truth or dare?" she said smiling at him.
"Dare," he said softly.
"I dare you to drink as much as Kurama did, but in a shorter amount of time," she said giggling.
Hiei groaned, "What is my other option Onna?"
Botan thought about it, but couldn't come up with anything, so she looked around. Finally Shizuru suggested that if he didn't do the first one he would have to play the rest of the game in his underwear after telling them all his biggest secret. Botan liked the idea, and Hiei chose to drink. He knew this would get him drunk, and he did not like the consequences of both him and the fox drunk and seeming to be fighting over the Onna. Hiei didn't even know why he cared that Youko liked the girl, but he did and that was really all that mattered. He quickly downed all six beers in less than nine minutes and was instantly fighting a grin.
"Detective, truth or dare," Hiei said slowly enunciating every word carefully.
"Dare three-eyes!" Yusuke said slurring and downing another beer.
"I dare you to stop drinking so you don't pass out," Hiei said slurring despite his best effort.
Yusuke blinked and tossed the bottle in the trash. He then turned to Yukina. That is when he realized she was the only one not drunk. He had to get Hiei distracted first though. Then he looked over, Youko was making a pass at Botan, so now was his chance.
"Yukina, truth or dare?" he said whispering.
"Dare," she said smiling.
"I dare you to drink one of those. But you have to drink it fast so Hiei doesn't see," Yusuke slurred out.
Shizuru popped the top of one of the beers and 'accidentally' spilled half of it, then she handed the remaining half to Yukina. She knew if the girl had drank a full beer she would be totally gone, and she did not want the girl to have a totally bad experience. Yukina downed the rest of the drink making a face once it was gone, but then giggled slightly at Youko and Hiei who had begun to argue over which one had which of Botan's hands.
Yukina still giggling asked Keiko if she wanted a truth or a dare. She chose dare, and Yukina dared her to wear her mini skirt the following day to go shopping. Keiko agreed still giggling and turned to Hiei.
"Hiei, truth or dare?"
"Dare," he said not taking his eyes off Botan and Youko.
"I dare you to not wear your cloak when we go shopping tomorrow. You have to wear what I tell you to," she said giggling.
Hiei agreed because he knew he had a limited supply of clothes and no one else's clothes would fit him. Then he saw Youko leaning his head on Botan's shoulder. Instantly the giddy feeling the alcohol had given him was out of his system and he was angry.
"Youko, truth or dare?" he asked.
"Dare, if you think you can come up with a good one," Youko said smirking drunkenly.
"I dare you to stop touching Botan, and for every time you disobey you will have to remove one article of clothing," Hiei said.
"Okay fire-boy," Youko said rising to the challenge.
Then Youko turned to Botan. He would have to find a loophole to this whole thing. He was smart. Maybe he would dare Botan to give him a massage. No, that would not work. He would dare Botan, but it would be something in retaliation to what Hiei had just done.
"Botan, Baby, truth or dare?" Youko said sweetly.
"Dare," she said quickly.
"I dare you to… come here I need to whisper it to you," Youko said getting an idea.
Hiei eyed the two suspiciously when Botan started giggling. Of course Hiei had to be close since he had been dared to hold Botan's hand for the rest of the night. Then he was even more shocked when Botan reached over and tore his shirt off, giggling the whole time. Then before anyone could kill anyone else Shizuru suggested they start playing Dare/Double Dare instead since everyone kept picking dare anyway. Everyone agreed and the game resumed. Soon everyone lost track of who had just gone and were keeping track of which items of clothing Youko lost by touching Botan. Finally several hours later, Youko had finally decided that he better not touch Botan again or be completely naked. Keiko and Yusuke were asleep in one corner of the room, and shortly after Shizuru quit playing she had fallen asleep on the couch, and then Kuwabara had carried a sleeping Yukina to another corner and he too had fallen asleep. So now the game had dwindled down to Hiei, Youko, and Botan.
"Botan, truth or dare?" Hiei asked, forgetting they had switched.
"Truth," she said no one noticing the reversion to Truth or Dare.
"Why is your hair blue?" he asked trying not to laugh, him and Youko had each drunk at least three six-packs each that night, and both had forgotten they were fighting over Botan and were trying to suppress giggles.
"Because Koenma thought that bright colors would help soothe the dead. It worked too, so now I have a blue wig, and pink contacts. My hair is really black, and my eyes are brown, but don't tell anyone," she said whispering.
The three of them laughed. For some reason it was funny to them that Botan wore a wig, and the girl was hoping that they would all forget too. Thankfully she would get her wish since both boys were so drunk they couldn't remember what they had just heard.
"Kurama, truth or dare?" she whispered.
"Dare," he whispered back and they all started laughing again.
"I dare you to sleep in just your boxers tonight," she said giggling.
Youko readily agreed and ran back to change. He came back out in a pair of green silk boxers, which he informed them he got from his mother.
"Hiei, truth or dare?" Youko asked.
"Dare," he replied quickly.
"I dare you to sleep in just your boxers tonight," Youko said slyly.
Hiei agreed and he and Botan left so he could change. They came back into the room, and Hiei was in a pair of black silk boxers with dragons on them. He confessed that he had gotten them when he had been spending so much time at Kurama's house. After that dare Botan started to wind down the alcohol not affecting her as much as it had been. She told the boys she was done for the night, but they still wanted to play, so she agreed to lie in between them and not interrupt.
The boys dared each other a few more times, but quickly forgot their dares. Then they fell asleep on either side of Botan both holding one of her hands, and each one with their head close enough for them to smell her sent, which reminded them both of sakura blossoms.
