Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Promise to Repeat

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of InuYasha.

Last Time:


Sango smirked, “then if that’s the case you have nothing to worry about. IF she wants you to touch her, then she’ll tell you…if she doesn’t want you to touch her, well…you’ll cross that bridge WHEN it comes to it,” she said using the futuristic saying. Kouga gave her a funny look, what’s a bridge and what does crossing it have to do with touching Kagome. He gave Kagome a heated look and winked at her, “Well since this is pointless anyway I will make this oath to my beloved woman. I, Kouga, will no longer touch Kagome without her permission ever again. I will no longer touch Kagome’s hands to say hello. I will no longer grab Kagome for any reason unless she tells me to, and I will no longer call Kagome ‘my woman’.” He turned to Kagome, “Now Kagome, tell your friend that you always want me to touch you.”

Inuyasha turned to Kagome, knowing that while she was frustrated with the wolf right now, and by the smell of her gratitude she was thankful to Sango for making him promise not to touch her. He growled but pushed the thought of him touching her to the side. Why would Kagome not want him touching her? She never had a problem before, he growled even louder. He shook his head, thinking about what Kagome would say to Kouga about his demand for her to accept his…touch. She may be pissed at him now, but she still considered Kouga as a friend and if Kouga played his cards right…

Inuyasha turned panic eyes to Kagome.
Don’t do it Kagome, you say yes now then he’ll do more than grab your hands. I can smell him, his fucking desire for you, don’t say yes!!!

“Kouga…I…”

"Kouga...I...I don't know what to tell you." Kagome looked at her lap while twiddling  her fingers.  "I mean if a demon is running right for me and your the only one that can push me out of the way then yea I wouldn't mind you grabbing me, but as far as grabbing my hands or hugging me in an..." she shivered, "unpleasant manner, then no, I really don't want you touching me."


Crickets chirping...Hirakutsu hitting pervert...and insane laughter permeated the air.


"HAHAAAHAHAA! See dog turd she does want me to touch her! MWAHAAHAAHAA! I WIN!"


"DIDN'T YOU HEAR HER YOU FILTHY EXCUSE FOR A WOLF! She said only if she's in a life or death situation she would want you to push her out of the way.  So basically she would chose you putting your grubby mitts on her over death.  Other than that keep your pathetic excuse for claws off of her!" Inuyasha screamed right in front of Kouga's face, damn wolf...always knew he was dumber than a pile of rocks, but where in the hell would he assume Kagome would want him to touch her? His thoughts were answered.


Kouga sidled up next to Kagome, not touching her but whispered in her ear, "my touch would be anything but unpleasant." He licked his lips watching her shiver, misinterpreting it as lust.


Ew EW EW EWWW EWWW EWWWWWWWWWWW....GROWDY!!!!!!!, Kagome shook her head trying to clear out Kouga's words.  She closed her eyes and took ten deep breaths.  Okay, one....twooooooo...three...why can't he take a hint...fou...I mean really Ayame would...oh what is going on?! I'm trying to freakin relaxm so I don't freakin put a freakin rosary on Kouga's freakin neck and sit both of those two morons to Hell!!!! "HEY! What are you two...GUYS STOP IT!!! Inuyasha stop pulling Kouga's tail! Kouga stop biting Inuyasha's ears! YOU WILL NOT SHOVE THE TETSUSAIGA THERE! Guys...COME ON!!! Your both how old?! Act your age!" Kagome turned to Sango, "Sango...please!"  Sango winked as she pulled out a vile with an interesting shade of purple powder.  Just before she threw it Kagome grabbed it out of her hand and walked up to the canine demons.  "Inuyasha. Kouga." She tried not to laugh as they both paused in their fight.  Kouga grabbing on to Inuyasha's legs while Inuyasha paused in mid punch to Kouga's head, his other hand on Kouga's tail trying to make him release his own legs.  She shook her head and scolded them, "Honestly, you two are a bunch of morons.  Will you both please refrain from your alpha, testosterone antics long enough to have a civil conversation?"  They looked at each other, then back to each other, only to growl at each other for staring at Kagome.  


That mutt has no right to stare at MY Kagome!


That wolfshit should die...Kagome's MY mate!


They both started attacking, yelling simulataniously, "DON'T LOOK AT KAGOME LIKE THAT YOU BASTARD! SHE'S MINE!"  


Kagome watched as the two rivals commenced their fight and was about to drop the vial before hearing their declaration.  While hearing Kouga say she belonged to him was no surpise and was actually an irritating experience, hearing Inuyasha claim her as his own was a welcome but confusing experience.  I'm mad at him, he broke my heart, he...his mate is Kikyo, I'm just a replacement...a warm body.  She looked at him again with determined eyes, looks like another heart to heart talk is in order.  With that extended her arm, closed her eyes and dropped the vial.


"I'm gonna rip your...WHAT THE HELL!!!!"


(I was gonna leave the chapter like that...but I thought about how mean that would be after such a long update ;-] Lets continue)


"WHERE THE HELL IS MY TALE MUTT FACE!"  Kouga went to swipe at him with his claws before actually looking at his claws. "Why the FUCK am I HUMAN?!"  He made a show of sniffing around and rubbing his eyes, moaning about how they weren't working properly.  Inuyasha on the other hand was blaming a very guilty miko.


"Oi! I know your pissed but you know I fucking hate turning human once a month! What was in that powder?!"  A very mortal Inuyasha paced pulling on his onyx hair.  
 

"Calm down Inuyasha, I'm sorry but I don't know what's in the powder.  I got it from Sango to quiet you two down so we could play the game.  I thought it would just knock you guys out or something.  You know like those smelly smoke things Sango uses to eradicate lower level demons or ones with very sensitive noses like...um..." She stopped after seeing his death glare.


"Keh, fine wench, let's just get back to the game," He said walking past her as he muttered something about defending her honor.  She turned to Kouga who was smelling the was making quite a spectle of himself.  She grabbed his arm as she began to see Kouga fall into something she learned from her psychology class: the five stages of grief.


"Kouga, I don't know why your human but lets just sit around the fire and go back to the game.  It'll get your mind off of...things," she coaxed wanting to get back to Sango so she could clear up this--situation.


Stage one: Denial


"What are you talking about?  I'm fine, unlike that wimpy half breed.  Can you believe he's a weakling?  I mean how can he protect you with his inferior strength and senses."  


Yup, definately denial.  Didn't he just get done pulling on his nose to make sure it worked?  


"Kouga, your kind of human too.  I don't know how your human but you are," Kagome sighed pushing him to the group.  


"Ah my dearest Kagome, I don't know what your talking about, but how could you possibly forget I'm the strongest FULL FLEDGED demon.  Don't worry your pretty little head about the HUMAN over there."  


Okay, Kagome, don't get mad...despite the fact that you are also a human and have taken great offense to that statement.  Just grin and bear it, big SMILE.


All of a sudden...


"WHAT CURSE DID YOU INFLICT ME WITH YOU WANNA BE DEMON!  I'm gonna rip your fucking head off and mount it above my den!!!"


Kagome put her hand on her forehead trying to alleviate the upcoming headache, and here is Stage two: Anger.  


"Just cause your jealous of what me and Kagome share doesn't give you a right to fuck with my demon you bastard!  I'm gonna snap your neck, break off your limbs and feed them to my pack!" he shouted in front of Inuyasha's face.  Inuyasha sat in his usual aloof stance as he looked in the fire waiting for the inane chattering to cease.  He raised his head when he noticed Kagome sitting next to Sango whispering in her ear.


"Hey Sango, what did that powder do anyway?  Why are me and the dip human?" Inuyasha inquired as Kouga growled as best he could in his human form.  Sango sighed, "Well, its a magic powder and it affects men in certain ways.  For mortals it simply allows for their true feelings to come to surface, basically a truth powder.  For half demons and demons it turns them into mortals allowing for their instincts to clear.  Now you two should be able to control yourselves from killing each other, and if you can't it'll be easier for us to subdue you idiots."  Another perk of this potion is that it lets their human emotions come to the surface.  For Kouga it'll be a tad more overwhelming since he has never had to deal with these type of emotions before, at least from a human perspective.  For Inuyasha, he always opens up more when he's human.  Now would be a good time to open up to Kagome without having his guard up.  Also, they both won't be able to use their noses against Kagome anymore.


"Okay slayer, I'll make you a deal.  Change me back and I kill Naraku for you.  You would probably get yourself killed anyway being just a mere mortal," Kouga nonchalantly offered.  


Stage three: Bargaining.


"No deal Kouga, it'll wear off eventually, but the timing is different for everyone.  It usually lasts longer on full demons."  Sango pretended to yawn to cover up her smile.  "So should we get back to the game?  I believe its your turn Kagome."  Kagome reached for the bottle and watched it spin.  When it stopped she turned to ask, "Finally, okay Miroku pick your poisen, truth dare double dare promise to repeat?"


"I believe I will pick dare this time," Miroku stated with a hint of fear leaking into his voice.  Kagome laughed, "Don't worry Miroku its nothing horrible, but I want this to be a dare between the two of us ok?"  Miroku nodded his head quickly agreeing to these terms.  Could be worse right?  Like to never be able to caress the beauty that is my luscious Sango's bottom.  He followed Kagome to the edge of the clearing with drool hanging off his chin.  


"Is that allowed to have a secret dare?" Sango wondered out loud.  As Kouga fell into a sullen state.  This is stupid, I hate being a puny human.  Kagome will never want me now.  Look at me, I can't even growl like a demon anymore.  I just want to curl up in a ball and waste away.  That bastard is gonna turn back to his weak self before me and steal my mate!  He felt tears well up in his eyes.  WHY AM I LEAKING?!!!


"You got that Miroku?  You have to do this for me or else I'll go insane!"


Miroku sighed, "It's going to have to be up to fate though.  You see how rarely I got a turn.  Why don't you just wait to dare this person yourself?"


"I have my reasons Miroku, please?"  Kagome pleaded.  Miroku nodded, "I'm always willing to help a lady in distress." He winked as he watched her laugh.  


They began walking back to the group before Kouga stood up nodding his head. "Yes, yes, I understand...." He suddenly clapped his hands together. "I'll do it then!"  He walked over to Kagome ignoring Inuyasha's warning glare.  "Even if I'm human forever, would you please accept me as your mate?  I'll stay with you forever and love you as much as I can in the pathetic form.  So please become my mate!"


Kagome's eye twitched, did he skip over depression or did I just miss it?  Well, at least he's at Stage five: Acceptance.  "Sorry Kouga but I think we should just get back to the game.  Miroku it's your turn!!!!"  Kouga watched as Kagome practically sprinted back to her spot.  Miroku had spun the bottle watching it land on the one and only..."Inuyasha, truth dare...you know the rest."


Inuyasha knew better than to trust that pervert so he chose to play it safe, "Promise to repeat."  He squinted, knowing that pervert he would probably either make him do something humilating in front of the wolf and Kagome or spill some horrible secret.  


Miroku sighed, sorry Kagome this turn I can't fulfill my dare this turn but it landed on the wrong person.


"I Inuyasha..." Miroku started, pausing to make sure he would actually repeat after him.  Inuyasha rolled his eyes but repeated, "I Inuyasha..."  Miroku stared at Inuyasha head on, "vow to kiss my true love by the end of the night."


Everyone's eyes widened as Kouga's smile widened.  His weak human heart chose that dead women a long time ago, and is that part of him that loved that witch.  Its his demon heart that loved Kagome and Kouga knew it.  What will you do mutt face?


"His true love is dead Miroku..." Kagome whispered.  Miroku continued staring into Inuyasha's eyes.  "We'll see Kagome.  Now come on Inuyasha, finish the words. I Inuyasha vow to kiss my true love by the end of the night."


Inuyasha looked at Kagome's bowed head, she deserves to know anyway so its not really a problem.  "I Inuyasha vow to kiss my true love by the end of the night.  Is that all monk?  I thought it was gonna be a lot worse than that, maybe your losing your touch."  Everyone but Kouga and Kagome laughed.  Kouga sat smug with the thought of Inuyasha dismissing Kagome at the end of the night cause he knew as well as any other that if nothing else the mutt was true to his word.  Kagome sat feeling the grief override her heart.  It was hard enough hearing Kikyo being Inuyasha's true mate wasn't hard enough, now hearing the reminder that Kikyo was and will always be his true love...it was heartwrenching.  I don't understand what being a mate is to a demon, but I know that I've always wanted to be the only one he truly loved with all his heart.  Of course I knew that Kikyo would hold his heart but I hoped.  She heard Inuyasha dare someone to do something but when she looked up, she nearly keeled over.  She watched as an angry Sango give a very lecherous monk a free groping.  


"Now now Lady Sango, I'm as much a victim as you are, after all I never dared you to allow me a minute of free groping...without repurcussions..."  Ah, Buddha I am forever your loyal servant!


Inuyasha laughed, there ya go monk.  I need you on my side tonight so I'll give you this.  Maybe you can get some things out to Sango later too.  Sango jumped out of his lap as soon as the minute was off.  If Miroku didn't know any better she seemed to be blushing and was that...a smile?!


He watched as Sango spun the bottle, she smiled?  Is that good or does that foretell doom to fall upon my head?  He watched the bottle slow down.  Please not me, please not me!!!


He watched it slow on him and he fanned the air to make the bottle go past him, Buddha help me!!! I am your loyal servant! Please!!! Don't land on meeeeee!!!!


He closed his eyes as he heard Sango say, "Truth Dare Double Dare Promise to Repeat."


They weren't expecting a monotone response to reply, "I thought your night of weakness was on the new moon little brother."


SESSHOMARU!!!!


He sat next to Sango who struggled not to squirm in his presence.  "You will explain Truth Dare Double Dare Promise to Repeat ritual to this Sesshomaru."  A tinkling laugh came from behind Sesshomaru, "Can Rin play? Rin wants to play too!"


O my goodness!  I'm sorry it took so long to add this chapter.  I finally caved and bought a new laptop so I should be updating more frequently.  

What do you think Kagome dared Miroku to do?  And did the bottle land on Miroku or did Buddha answer his prayers ;) lol

Please review! I would really appreciate it!
