Kagome jumped out of the well, the way she always did. It was a Saturday, back in her time, so thankfully she wouldn't get any strange questions from her friends. She hated lying to them, telling them she had a disease, when she was in fact, perfectly healthy.

 

She walked out of the well and made her way towards Kaede's village, which was in Inuyasha's forest. Suddenly she clenched her jaw. Everything here, EVERYTHING reminded her of Inuyasha. Not the rest of her friends, not Sango, not Miroku, not Sesshomaru, but him. Was it her fault that she had released him from the tree, so long ago? Was it her fault that she went from day to day, seething with rage, regretting her actions? “ I should call Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's replica, but I'm so damn selfless.” She mumbled to herself.

 

Stumbling over a tree root, she looked up and came face to face with none other than Sesshomaru. `Well…well… speak of the Devil' She thought vaguely. “Hello Sesshomaru, funny seeing you here, are you looking for Inuyasha?” He sighed and shook his head. `It would be so like her to assume that I'm here for the Tetsuiga.' `But it is my fault, after all, that is why I'm usually here.'

 

“Kagome.” He said and Her jaw hit the ground, but he didn't notice. “I'm here for a different reason. She didn't say anything, but just nodded dumbly. “Tell me, do you hate me Kagome?” She gave him a confused look, as she thought over his words…. It was such a simple question. `Do I hate him?' she thought over and over again. `Do I really?'

 

She looked into his eyes, an emotion flickered in his eyes, but it was gone the next minute. “No, Sesshomaru I don't, I never did. Just because you and your brother….err..well… half, have your differences it's not my place to judge you.”

 

“I see.” Was the only thing Sesshomaru said and then he smirked, saying, “Well in that case, I'll make you a deal.” `Say what?' She thought. He looked at her expression, trying to contemplate what he was trying to say. He had always wondered why he hadn't asked her before. Perhaps it was his own pride that made him act the way he did. There she stood, next to HIM, his hanyou brother, defending him to no end.

 

He walked closer to her and she took a step back, “Look, if you're going to Kill me, why are you wasting your time?” He suddenly stopped walking, surprised to hear those words. “Is that what you think I'm here for? That I'm a cold-blooded icy assassin?” “No, If I wanted to kill you, I'd have already done it and have been on my way.”

 

“Well then?” she asked, tapping her foot, looking impatient. “Well Kagome….if you're willing, let's play a game shall we?” he said simply. “WHAT??!!” she screeched at the top of her lungs. She did NOT like where this situation was going….no, not at all. Just what the heck was his problem? Here he comes sauntering into Kaede's village saying he wants to Play with me? Just what the bloody hell did THAT mean anyway? Why did that sound so dirty? She looked at him, and he looked completely unruffled, like he hadn't said anything bad.

 

`GRR…' `Men…err....well demons in this case.' “What do you really want Sesshomaru?” She blushed red at his expression. `oops bad choice of words.'

“I'm on my way to Kaede's village, right now, why don't we talk there?” She almost pleaded. `Right, where there's people and not just US.' She nodded. He thought it over and said “No I'd rather talk to you where we were alone and there was just us.”

 

“So, instead of a fight, I'll challenge you to something different, Winner takes all.” She started to glare at him. `Just what the heck was Sesshomaru talking about anyway?' “I'm listening Sesshomaru.” She sighed and nodded towards him. “The game is called “Truth or Dare.” He chuckled at her expression. She had gone completely white. She HATED that game, ever since she was a little girl. She hated it because……….she always lost.

 

“I don't like that game, so I decline, goodbye.” He grabbed her wrist and said “Well actually, you don't have a choice.” She raised an eyebrow at him. `Yup Sesshomaru has completely and utterly lost his marbles.' She had to remember to record this in her diary.

 

“Look Sesshomaru, I don't really have that much patience, so would you please hurry it up so I can be on my way?” He nodded and said “Fair enough. If you lose, I'm the winner, but if I lose, I'm still the Winner.” She gaped at him and thought. `JUST WHAT THE HELL DID HE HAVE IN MIND??!!!?'
