Ok people. Sorry for not posting sooner, but I was a little preoccupied with our vacation coming up soon. This will be the last time you here from me in about a couple of weeks so I'm gonna leave this chapter and try to post another of Truth or Dare…I am very disappointed that practically no one is reviewing the truth or dare series. I don't get many reviews people, ever. The more you send the happier I'll be and the more enthused to write and post I'll be. Even if you just ramble or let loose steam or troubles on your mind. I still need people to comment on how good or bad this is too. I'm just gonna post the regular series I already have but you won't get anymore if I don't get some questions or dares for my other one. I do have a one-shot songfic for three days grace as well so check that out too. WARNING: mention of pink, shopping, and drama in chapter.

4.

You watch as team Inuyasha steps out into the field and the crowd boo's them. You examine the other team and see that team Hirumewa was composed up of a female cat demon, two ox demons, and two ogres. You cringe at the stench of all the demons surrounding you and your heightened sense of smell didn't help much. Inuyasha walks up to the center of the ring along with the cat demon. She appeared to be the only girl on the team as her and Inuyasha discuss fighting arrangements. They finally agree on something and Koto announces that it will be a series of one-on-one matches. The cat demon walks back to her team as Inuyasha walks back to his. Up first are the large red ogre and Sango in her demon slaying uniform.

"Ok everyone. The first match for team Hirumewa vs. team Inuyasha is Sango vs. elder Ignius. Ok, ready, fight!" Koto starts. Ignius goes to attack Sango with a large hammer but is soon cut in half when Sango launches her boomerang called hiraikotsu. It comes back around and she catches it as Koto calls her as the winner. You hear the cat demon on team Hirumewa hiss and smirk at this, knowing that Sango wasn't even their best according to their spirit energy signatures. You continue to watch as Miroku steps up to the plate next, along with the ox that was twice his size.

Koto calls for it to start and Miroku swallows the ox hole into his hand after warning for Koto to stay behind him. You notice that it was like he had a miniature black hole in his hand. 'So that's the wind tunnel that he was talking about last night. Looks like it'll swallow anything in its path that isn't bolted to the ground. Interesting,' you thought.

/What are you rambling about onna?/ Hiei asked you telepathically.

/ Nothing Hiei. Just talking to myself about the monk and his wind tunnel/ you reply irritated.

/What do you like him or something? That must be why you groaned when the baka said that dare. You don't want to date someone you like. Afraid that you'll make a fool of yourself like all the other women/ Hiei retorted sourly.

/Baka oni. First off, he's a bigger pervert than the detective. Second, he likes the demon slayer. Third, I don't like him at all. Fourth, don't ever compare me to other women. And fifth, you're nothing but a jealous demon who can't admit his feelings./ you reply just as sourly. Within seconds, you're being held up against the wall by Hiei with your feet dangling and his katana at your throat. You eyes are emotionless black voids as Hiei glares at you coldly.

/ Don't you ever mistake me for liking you onna. Love is merely a human emotion and I despise you more than anything anyways/ Hiei growls out. You just stand there as Hiei lets you go and turns back to the fight. As soon as Hiei wasn't looking at you, your eyes had turned a deep blue. At that moment, you wanted to run far away from him and cry your eyes out until you couldn't cry anymore, but instead, your legs merely walked to the railing a few feet away from him and your eyes held no tears to spill as you watched team Inuyasha win the match and internally cried your eyes out with your barrier kept up.

You somehow knew that he was slightly in denial or rejection to the idea of falling in love or something, but it still hurt for you to hear him say that. It reminded you too much of your dreams for you to just shrug it off. The rest of the team had come with Sabera, who left to get them, to watch with you a few minutes after Hiei pinned you and said that but you ignored them while everyone else made conversation.

When the matches were over, you jumped into a shadow before Yukina and Sabera came over to talk to you, saying that you would see them back at the hotel, and ending up in the forest on the island by a cliff that looked out onto the ocean. You walked over to the cliff and watched the scenery as sunset soon came. It was then that you broke down crying. You didn't realize that Hiei had followed you and was watching as you cried on the cliff, now in your normal form with your ears and tail. After you finally controlled your crying, you picked up the gems and put them in your hat while setting it beside you. You then began to sing 'He Wasn't', remembering what Sabera had told you about expressing your emotions in song.

There's not much going on today

I'm really bored it's getting late

What happened to my Saturday?

Monday's coming the day I hate.

Sit on the bed alone

Staring at the phone.

He wasn't what I wanted

What I thought no

He wouldn't even open up the door.

He never made me feel like I was special

He isn't really what I'm looking for.

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

This is where I start to bit my nails

I clean my room when all else fails

I think it's time for me to bail

'Cause part of you is getting still.

Sit on the bed alone

Staring at the phone.

He wasn't what I wanted

What I thought no

He wouldn't even open up the door.

He never made me feel like I was special

He isn't really what I'm looking for.

Oh, oh

Hey, hey

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hey, hey

Oh, oh

Hey, hey

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hey, hey

No, no, no, no, no

We've all got choices

No, no, no, no

We've all got voices

No, no, no, no, no

Stand up make some noise

No, no, no, no

Stand up make some noise.

Sit on the bed alone

Staring at the phone.

He wasn't what I wanted

What I thought no

He wouldn't even open up the door.

He never made me feel like I was special

He isn't really what I'm looking for.

He wasn't what I wanted

What I thought no

He wouldn't even open up the door.

He never made me feel like I was special

Like I was special

'Cause I was special

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

No, no, no, no, no

You pulled your knees to your chest as you watched the sunset descend above the water. As soon as the sun disappeared behind the water, a flash lit the sky for a split second. You ears perk up when you spot it. It looked as if it might have been a beam of energy that was a mixture of blue and green. Whatever it was, you discarded the thought for the time being. You sigh deeply and begin to speak softly to yourself.

"Why? Why does this have to happen to me? What if what Hiei said was true? Does that mean my dream will come true as well? I don't want to experience that feeling for real. It would be too much for me to handle. That man, I called him Naraku in my dream. Is he the demon that Kagome and her friends are looking to destroy? -sigh- I have so many questions and not one answer. As if it wasn't bad enough that I'm the ruler of shadows and the girl in the prophecy with one of the keys to the gate. All of this almost makes me wish that I had never met everyone and never got my voice stolen. And yet…" you mumble to yourself, still not sensing Hiei hiding in the tree behind you and listening to your every word.

You hear someone in the distance calling your name from the hotel and shadow to your suite's bedroom with your hat of gems. Hiei teleports into the bathroom and makes it seem as if he's just coming out of it. You quickly shove the gems into the nightstand drawer before Hiei notices and put the hat on your head to hide the tiara that still hasn't been able to come off, you wish it did though, it was nothing but a bad reminder of everything happening. You walk out of the bedroom and go to sit on the couch when Botan comes bounding through the door, followed by the other girls, including Kurama, Kagome, Cammi, and Sango.

"Come on Lea, it's time to go shopping! We have to buy you an adorable outfit for your first date tomorrow night!" Botan squeals in delight. You glower at her and turn to flipping through the channels on the TV. Botan frowns and motions to Cammi. She nods and grabs you around the waist with her whip. You growl menacingly at her and shape-shift into a king cobra to free yourself from her whip. You slither away, only to be caught once again by Kurama's whip this time. You revert to original form and sigh in defeat, following the overly peppy girl to the mall that was located on the island.

"So what exactly did you have in mind when you said to buy and adorable outfit?" you asked reluctantly.

"Well, I asked Kagome and Sango what kind of girls he liked and I think we should look around and see what suites you best. We need to find something beautiful and extravagant for your first date," Botan explains and heads into a store that you can see has a bunch of brightly colored clothes, including lots of pink.

"Please don't make me go in there Botan. I absolutely hate the color pink. I only like it when it's on roses and Sakura blossoms. Please can we go into a store with darker colors? I'm not trying to win prom queen or Miss America," you complain as Botan forcefully drags you in there with help from Keiko and Shizuru. By the time you were finished with that store, you had been forced to try on at least 15 different outfits with pink somewhere on them. You all finally settle on a light blue dress with flowers of all kinds scattered on it that went to your knees and had thin straps to hold it up, after five stores that looked like they had nothing but Easter-colored clothes. (yes, some of the flowers were pink) From the waist down, it flowed out slightly while the top was form fitted and fit perfectly on your chest, showing what little curves you had to the fullest.

You went into a jewelry store and the girls picked out some rings and necklaces and bracelets and earrings for you but you refused all of them, not liking the big gaudy stones and designs. You continued looking around, knowing that they wouldn't stop looking until you bought at least one thing. You suddenly spotted a piece that caught your eye. It was a bracelet that had a black stone dragon that acted as the band that went around your wrist and had a red rose held in its mouth. The rose was made of gold for the stem, and rubies for the rose itself. The dragon's eye was made of the same stone that was on your ring.

You called the clerk over and asked how much it was. The other girls came over to see what piece of jewelry had caught your attention enough to want to buy it and saw the bracelet, admiring it themselves. The jeweler told you the price and you bought it. The clerk nodded in understanding and measured your wrist. Once that was done, he handed you a bracelet that had been pre-made for your size and looked exactly like the one you pointed out. You took it gladly and placed it on your arm.

The girls complemented you on your choice and continued to look for something that would match your dress. In the end you got a necklace that had a gold chain and a flower made of sapphires and aquamarines as the charm.

By the end of the day, you had your dress, accessories, heels (which you hated but luckily you were able to convince them not to get any too high), and make-up (they forced you with that, no compromise was possible). You noticed that Cammi had bags filled with similar content to yours and wondered if she was going on a date with someone as well. You went up to your suite in the hotel and threw all of your stuff in the closet except for your jewelry, which you put in the nightstand with your tear gems.

You went back downstairs and found Hiei sitting on the couch, deep in thought. You headed to the kitchen without him noticing so you didn't disrupt his train of thought. You grabbed some tea and fixed something to eat so you could regain your strength that you lost while being dragged around the mall. The smell of your cooking caused Hiei to come out of his trance and follow the smell to the kitchen to find you cooking.

"Hn. When did you get back?" he asked, obviously not realizing that you had returned.

"Just a little while ago. Botan forced me to try on stuff and buy make-up. Almost every outfit she made me try on had PINK on it!" You say a little annoyed. It seemed like you wouldn't be able to just be happy while this tournament took place. You would always feel annoyed, mad, upset, sad, or a mixture of all of the above, except when you were fighting. Then you would be able to cut loose and release all your frustrations on your opponents.

You finished making your food and left a little for if Hiei wanted any. You sat down and began to eat silently. When you finished, you went to the bathroom and changed into your pj's. A lot happened today and you just wanted to get some rest before you had to get ready for tomorrow's date with the lecherous monk. 'Damn that Kuwabara for making that dare.' You thought before drifting into dreamland…

Remember people…REVIEW!!
