It's All On Camera!

Rating: Somewhere between PG-PG13 for swearing, etc.

Scene Six: The Kissing Philosophy
"And it says, Rule number ten: to find out if your guy is really a catch, put him on our Kissing Philosophy Test (as proven by our own researchers). Just turn to page number thirty-eight for further details and instructions… Hmm…" The young brunette demon slayer watched with curiosity as her female friend from the future turned the pages in their shiny new book, something called a "magazine", as Sango recalled. She was currently cleaning her stiff and tired body with the heavily-scented soap that Kagome had given her, while the taijiya's magenta eyes were glued on the strange scroll in Kagome's delicate palms, their pages rustling as they were turned quickly.
It had all began after that great epic battle with the notorious centipede youkai – the youkai that was rumoured to have possessed quite a few Shikon Jewel shards. Much to their hanyou's disappointment, it was a false alarm, but they helped the nearby villagers by ridding the pesky demon out of an act of good will…
Except no one expected the stubborn over-grown bug to suddenly explode and splatter its innards all over the InuYasha-tachi before the finishing blow could be given.
Annoyed, gut-covered, and suddenly sticky, the monk, the inu half-demon, the futuristic miko, taijiya, kitsune, and the neko youkai all trudged back to camp in a very foul mood, their sudden vigour and energy drained as soon as they had witnessed the over-excessively loud pop of the centipede. The males found two separate (and far, much to Sango's relief) hot springs, and after much argument (with a few conceited SIT BOY!s), InuYasha and Miroku allowed the females the privilege of having the larger and more comfortable bath, as they dragged themselves (and Shippo) towards the smaller one that would prove to be extremely awkward.
However, before Kagome and Sango left the campsite, the priestess had dug out a girlie magazine from her enormous backpack, announcing to her slayer companion that it would provide some "much needed entertainment".
And there the two teenage females were, Sango in waist deep of the healthy spring water, watching and listening to Kagome read from her enchanted book, her friend wrapped in a fluffy towel modestly as she sat upon a large boulder near the spring. The two best friends had read and discussed through rule-numbers one to nine in the Is Your Guy a Keeper or a Loser? section of the magazine, often blushing at the blunt statements ("Remember ladies: a man's size isn't everything…") in the article or frowning as they both realized how far Miroku and InuYasha were from the "ideal man" image.
Rule Number Ten was definitely the worst of them all.
"Found it!" Kagome exclaimed happily as she showed the soaking Sango the infamous page number thirty-eight, an index finger pointing heavily against the Kissing Philosophy Test article. "Okay, it says: Find out if your man is an A-list kisser! Give him a piece of candy with the wrapper still on it, and let him open the wrapper with his tongue (and teeth, if needed). The quicker they can finish this task, the better kisser they are! This test shows his tongue's speed, accuracy, flexibility…"
By now, both Sango and Kagome were blushing a deep beet-red to the roots of their hair, the blush spreading down past the collarbone and ending almost at their waist.
An awkward silence passed.
"Um…Kagome-chan," Sango began somewhat hesitantly, still blushing quite furiously. "What do you think of…that rule?"
The aforementioned girl pursed her lips, her mind debating on whether the result of her decision would be life-threatening or not. She went with option number two. "I think," Kagome began, winking a blue-grey orb in a flirtatious manner, "that we should give this a shot. Think about it! It can be an experiment…the guys will never have to know!"
Sango nearly fainted at the mere thought of it.
"So…you're tellin' us that we have to unwrap this shitty – "
"Language, please, InuYasha!" the raven-haired female fumed as she pointed towards Shippo, making her point.
Amber eyes rolled in irritation as he continued, " – piece of candy with our fuckin' tongues?" Both Miroku and InuYasha threw the two girls incredulous expressions. "How in the seven hells are we supposed 'a do that?"
"Yes, indeed," nodded Miroku solemnly, his Buddhist staff's rings jingling slightly in the warm summer breeze. "I was wondering, Lady Kagome, what this "experiment" is for anyway." Much to the delinquent monk's interest, Sango blushed a lovely shade of pink, as Kagome just smiled innocently.
"I just thought it'd be cool to see who could do it the fastest!" she exclaimed, hands waving in the air in excitement. "I mean, Sango and I both got pretty good times. Just under two minutes, both of us!" She grinned brightly, nudging the slayer sitting beside her with her foot sneakily, making her realize the hidden implication.
If possible, Sango blushed just a bit more.
"Aw, you guys!" Shippo suddenly piped up, an annoyed look on his adorable features. "Why not just give it a shot? It couldn't hurt, right?" Kagome smiled at him encouragingly. Earlier, the young girl in the green-and-white sailor suit had bribed the little kitsune with so much sweets that he nearly had a nosebleed, but only if he could somehow convince the boys to try out her little "experiment". It was only natural Shippo would say yes.
Amazingly, InuYasha and Miroku both just shrugged as they quickly popped the little piece of fruit-flavoured candy into their mouths, wrapper and all.
After one minute and forty-seven seconds (Kagome had a timer), Miroku unwrapped his piece of sweets, realizing with delight that it was grape-flavoured - his favourite. He beamed with pride as he showed his female companions the candy, caught between his teeth, after he had spat out the crinkly wrapper with disgust.
Sango, again, nearly fainted at his triumph and his dazzling smile, blushing the same shade of red as Kagome. That means that…Miroku…oh my Kami!
"Um, InuYasha, are you done yet?" Kagome asked timidly as she eyed her timer reaching the four-minute marker. InuYasha grunted in response, eyes closed in deep concentration as he tried to complete the almost impossible task.
Kagome sighed as she eyed Sango warily.
Around Ten Minutes Later…
"Gah, screw this!" rasped the hanyou in anger and humiliation as he spat the candy out, wrapper only halfway off the yellow piece of sweetened item. "I can't do this, okay Kagome? I suck at it, simple as that. This is a stupid experiment thing, anyway." He crossed his arms stubbornly as Miroku chuckled behind him, while Sango shot Kagome sympathetic looks towards Kagome.
Kagome sighed in despair.
"Well," began the raven-haired beauty, "practice makes perfect, right?"
Amber eyes glowed in defiance. "I'm not trying that crappy thing again! Ya hear me, Kago – mmph!" Soft velvet lips pressed against the ones of the tall inuhanyou's, golden orbs widening in surprise before closing them and opening his mouth reluctantly, allowing Kagome's own searching tongue in.
Miroku and Sango quickly left the scene, shocked and a little amused, dragging a sick-and-green-looking kitsune with them as Kirara tagged along from behind.
And the clashing couple practiced…and practiced…and practiced…and practiced…
They vowed to practice until InuYasha got the entire "candy experiment" right.
And…CUT!
