Shippou Day (Brought to you by Shippou!)
Shippou is the best! Shippou is king! Shippou is the most fearsome, terrifying, and clever fox demon to ever exist! Shippou is smarter than Miroku! Miroku should find a better hiding place for his diary! That's right, I called it a diary! What you gonna do, hit me? Haha! I found your diary! I'm gonna read it. I think. I'm gonna read some of it. No, I'm gonna read all of it! Then Shippou will have the ultimate embarrassing knowledge of Miroku! Miroku will kiss Shippou's feet and serve Shippou like a slave! And Shippou shall reign supreme! Shippou rules the world! Victory! Victory!
Miroku, Shippou cannot read or write, but this is what he wanted me to write to you from him. I promise I didn't read anything.

Truth and Tell Day- (After Mid Day) also known as October 17. Sorry for not writing for so long, but it seems that many a day is spent doing nothing but walking. Even saving village after village is no longer impressive when you happen to do so every other day. However, I suppose that an entry every week would be sufficient, seeing as I cannot hope to write in this journal every day (which is not a diary Shippou!), like I had planned to do when I first got this journal. I suppose life is like that sometimes. Defiant of what you planned, I mean.
Today was any normal day, having been on the road sometime, that everyone was naturally very bored of 'I spy'. Even though the game was an amusing way to find out how other people really saw each other.
Ex. 'I spy something ill tempered, stubborn, arrogant, and ignorant.' (Kagome)
Or 'I spy an ugly wench who is useless.' (Inuyasha)
Or 'I see something yellow.' (Sango)
Or 'I spy with my little eye, something that begins with 't'!' (Shippou)
Or 'I spy a bomb!' (Kirara, which Shippou insists she said)
And 'I am utterly entranced with the sexiest person alive whom happens to grace this party with their presence.' (Take a wild guess)
Anyway, as soon as we were through with everything we spotted (we never really found the bomb Kirara 'said' she saw), we were all thoroughly bored. And being bored is nothing anyone really likes, and since Kagome has been unofficially elected as our entertainment provider (since the things from the future she insists are an every day occurrence are very funny to us), we all naturally turned to her. And I think she was a bit unnerved for she blurted a game very quickly.
The game is called 'truth or dare', and basically how it works is the person who is called upon either chooses between truth or dare. If they pick truth, they are asked a question, and no matter how embarrassing or personal, they must answer it truthfully. And if they pick dare, they then must do whatever outrageous deed that the person who called upon them has told them to do. After the person has answered the question or performed the dare, then they get to pick the next person to go. Then the game continues on and on until it is called off.
After the basic rules were laid out and we agreed to play (some a bit reluctantly), Kagome started since she was the only person who has ever played this game before and decided to show us how it was done.
Basic Conversation:
Keen Kagome (right now if that means she's eager or sharp… maybe a bit of both) So Shippou, truth or dare?
Small Shippou (ever since he defaced my journal, I have demoted him back to being 'small' even though I could have picked other nasty words to describe him. I can't believe he actually got Sango to help also. I hope she didn't read anything…) Um… dare! I am, after all, a brave and noble fox demon! (ignores snorts from some of our party)
Keen Kagome: Hmm… what would be a good Shippou dare?
Indignant Inuyasha (I particularly like this adjective) (mutter) You could dare the little weasel to drown himself.
Small Shippou: I am not a weasel!
Keen Kagome: That's it! (we all stare at her in horror, for even if Shippou can be bit annoying, we don't want to watch him drown himself) Shippou, you can't fight with Inuyasha for the rest of the game.
Small Shippou: (looks horrified) W-What?
Indignant Inuyasha: (sly smirk) Yea weasel.
Small Shippou: Why you-!
Keen Kagome: Shippou, remember you are a noble fox demon. Keep your word.
Sango and I: (glad that we were spared more headaches)
Small Shippou: (is torn between being pleased with comment or annoyed he can't strike back at Inuyasha) Inuyasha, truth or dare?
Indignant Inuyasha: Feh. Dare.
Small Shippou: (evil smirk) I dare you to hug Kagome!
Indignant Inuyasha (simultaneously with Kagome) What!
Keen Kagome (simultaneously with Inuyasha) What!
Small Shippou: And you have to say something nice to her!
DHUIM: (leans towards Sango) Can he do that? Dare him twice?
Sexy Sango (I have decided that even if I am irritated at her, she is still sexy) I guess.
Indignant Inuyasha: (turning various shades of red to match his clothes) I will not hug that stupid wench.
Keen Kagome: Hey!
Small Shippou: Well I guess if you're a little chicken demon…
Indignant Inuyasha: (to everyone's surprise, give Kagome a quick (albeit rough) hug) Uh… you… look nicer today.
Keen Kagome: (a bright red) What do you mean nicer?
Indignant Inuyasha: (not looking at Kagome) So Miroku, truth or dare?
DHUIM: Since no one else has picked it, I think I shall do truth.
Indignant Inyuasha: (smirk) So Miroku, are you still a virgin?
Group other than DHUIM and Indignant Inuyasha: (slight gasp)
Keen Kagome: (whispering to Sango) Is he?
Sexy Sango: Why are you asking me this?
DHUIM: (nonchalant shrug) Of course not. But even so, I am waiting for my one and only.
Indignant Inuyasha: Guess that must be every woman you meet… too bad you're not their one and only…
DHUIM: (ignoring Inuyasha) So fair Sango, truth or dare?
Sexy Sango: Um… truth?
DHUIM: (somewhat perverted look on face) Are you attracted to me?
Sexy Sango: What! I can't answer that!
Small Shippou: You have to answer the question. Miroku admitted he wasn't a virgin, so it's your turn Sango.
Sexy Sango: Well, if you weren't so perverted… and if you didn't ask every single woman you met to 'bear your child'… and if you actually did things without being libidinous…
DHUIM: You're avoiding the question, my fair Sango.
Sexy Sango: In your dreams Miroku. Inuyasha, truth or dare?
DHUIM: You didn't tell the honest truth Sango, you broke a rule.
Indignant Inuyasha: Truth.
DHUIM: Kagome, Sango broke a rule, did she not?
Sexy Sango: What will you do with the Shikon Jewel when we get it? Will you let Kaede or Kagome keep it?
Keen Kagome: Well…
Indignant Inyuasha: Feh! Give up the Shikon Jewel after I had to be confined to all of you and having to 'sit' whenever told! No way! I'm using it to become a full fledged demon.
Small Shippou: I'd use the Shikon Jewel to make Kagome bring me more lollipops. Kagome, do you have any?
DHUIM: Sango, it's all right if you don't want to admit to me that you are irresistibly attracted to me. Perhaps later tonight…
Sexy Sango: In your dreams Miroku.
Keen Kagome: Sorry Shippou, no lollipops.
Indignant Inuyasha: Feh. Give up the jewel after all this stupid work…
From there, the game spiraled a bit out of control until Kagome finally put her foot down. All in all, I found it very entertaining. Especially since I now know that Sango is attracted to me. I could tell by the cute way she got all flustered and she couldn't form sentences with stuttering a bit.
