Chapter 12: Shakespeare Can Burn In Hell

-------------------------------------------------

"A ticket?" K asked.

"Yes. For the 11 O' clock train today."

"Why don't you go get it?"

"Well, I can't really leave if you know what I mean."

"I see. Fine, I'll get one."

"Thank you. I already told you where to meet me at 8, so I better go now."

"One quick question, though."

"Yes?"

"The ticket…..do you want it for-,"

"Shuichi? Sure do! But shhh. It's a secret."

"But what if-,"

"Well, I got to go! Buh-bye now!"

"Wait!"

Beep beep beep…..

K hung up the phone and sighed.

"All right," he said to himself, heading back up to his room. "I trust you."

- -

"Hey guys," Kyra said putting down her chop sticks. Everyone was seated at the table having lunch.

"Yeah, what is it Slim?" Josie asked.

"Isn't there a carnival today?"

"Yeah."

"Good, get your shoes on."

"What!" they all looked up at her in surprise.

"But we're eating!" Kyo said.

"There's food at the carnival."

"But tons of people will be in line by now. We would have to have tickets to get through without waiting in line forever," Josie tried.

"Way ahead of you," Kyra pulled out six tickets.

"You're a sneaky little devil," Terra said.

"Well, what about Kyo's injury?" Shuichi asked.

"He'll live."

"And if he doesn't?"

"His loss, not mine."

Kyo looked up at her and glared.

"Well, what if the tickets for the rides cost too much?"

"I already bought sixty, how many more do we need?"

"You ARE a sneaky devil!"

"Yap, yap, yap. Come on, let's go!"

- -

"Wow," Kyo and Shuichi stared blankly at the carnival.

"It's almost as big as the mall," Shuichi said.

The three girls glanced back at them.

"Boys," they said entering, Sano following. Shuichi looked over, nudged Kyo, and the two went into the carnival.

There were so many rides, they didn't know which one to go on.

"Which one should we go on first?" Terra said.

Josie looked around and finally spotted her love. A gigantic rollercoaster with tons of turns and loops.

"I found one!" she pointed at it.

"Hell yeah!" Terra shouted as she and Josie grabbed 20 tickets from Kyra and headed off toward the line.

"Hey! Meet back here in two hours, OK!" Kyra shouted.

"OK!" the two replied.

The four stood there for a few seconds as they watched the two walk up, gave the man their tickets, and buckled into a car.

"How long do you think those tickets will last?" Kyo asked as the rollercoaster started.

"Well, knowing how many rides those two like to go on, I'd say half and hour," was Kyra's reply.

Kyo sweat dropped.

"And what are you gonna do when they run out of tickets?"

"Nothing, they can get their own."

"They didn't bring any money!"

"No. But they do have the little bag of money I stuffed in Terra's coat pocket."

This time all three men sweat dropped.

"How the hell did you get money into that girl's pocket? She's extremely sensitive to touch!"

"Why, the same way I put the bag of money in YOUR coat pocket, sweetums!"

Kyo raised one eyebrow before digging into both his pockets. He felt something in his right pocket and pulled it out. A bag of money.

"How the hell-," he paused when he noticed Kyra and Shuichi were gone.

"Meet back here in one hour and we'll trade our riding partners!" Kyra shouted from a distance where she was shoving Shuichi into a mirror house.

"Hey, but wait a sec!" Kyo protested.

"Bet hurry! The clock's a ticken'! Tick tock! Tick tock!" and with that the two disappeared into the mirror house.

Kyo turned and faced Sano with a glare. Sano matched it and the two stood that way for a while.

"I still hate you, you damn, lying, patient tormenter."

"I take it you're referring to the shot?"

"…..damn liar."

"S & S excuse for an athlete."

"S & S?"

"Short and Shitty," Sano, who was holding the twenty tickets Kyra had given him, began walking away, leaving a pissed off Kyo.

"Damn you! I'm not short or shitty!" he chased after Sano and the two ended up on Kyo's choice.

The hammer.

- -

"Honestly, Shuichi. I don't know how you do it."

"Would you leave me alone!"

"You've got to be the worst swimmer in the world from what I can presume from that little example."

"It was an accident!"

"A very sad accident, if you know what I mean."

"I just forgot to pull it out is all!"

"You nearly drowned diving for apples! All you do is put your head in the water!"

"Leave me alone," Shuichi came out of the bathroom in a somewhat dry t-shirt.

"Looks fine," Kyra said, handing him an apple. Shuichi put his hand up.

"No thanks," he said. Kyra had to smile. Then a thought crossed her mind and she glanced at her watch.

"Woah! We better head back, gnome. It's almost an hour after we split up."

"Fine by me," Shuichi said, walking ahead of Kyra. Kyra looked at him wondering what his problem was. She figured it out in a matter of seconds.

"Oh come on, gnome! It's not like I meant to push you out! The door just swung open!"

- -

"Hey," Kyo looked up to see Shuichi and Kyra standing over him.

He sat up from his laying position on the bench and stood. Kyra looked around.

"Where's Sano?"

"Getting some food. Here," he handed Kyra the biggest stuff tiger Shuichi had ever seen.

"Did you get this for me?" Kyra asked.

"Yeah, yeah. Just don't get all hug-," Kyra glomped him before he could finish.

"Thanks Kyo!" she said. Kyo turned his head and blushed.

Shuichi laughed a bit but then stopped when he looked at Kyo's face. It looked just like Yuki when he blushed. Shuichi began to feel sad as he remembered the encounter with Yuki but soon hit himself in the head. 'No! NO! Don't think about it Shuichi! Don't ruin today!'

He then felt something cold touch his head. He looked up and saw Sano holding a soda can to his head.

"If you're trying to get rid of a head ache, punching yourself till everything goes black won't help," he said, handing Shuichi a soda and a box of strawberry pocky.

"Thanks," Shuichi said, taking them.

"Hey, we're switching. So you're with Kyo now!" Kyra said, patting him on the back.

"Sano! Don't go on the Ferris wheel!" Shuichi shouted after the two.

"For the last time! It was an accident!" came Kyra's reply.

Shuichi ignored her and he and Kyo began to head off in the other direction.

"Why not the Ferris wheel?" Kyo asked.

"Because she pushed me out of it when we were nearly to the top."

Kyo stopped and sweat dropped as Shuichi walked toward a safer ride; a boat ride.

- -

"I don't think so," Sano said.

"Why not?" Kyra complained.

"Because I don't trust you."

"Liar. You're afraid of heights aren't you?"

"Please. You're the one I had to save from heights last year when you couldn't get down from the tree in the zoo."

"Well if that damn monkey didn't steal my cell phone, I wouldn't have had to climb a tree!"

"So why didn't you get someone to do it for you?"

"Wasn't thinking of it at the time. Now, come on!" she shoved Sano forward in the line and put a ticket in his hand.

The man in the front took it and opened the door as the two went into the hammer.

"You're a evil, plotting, sneak devil," Sano stated as he strapped himself in and the ride started.

"How many times are you guys gonna tell me that today?"

"One question."

"Shoot."

"Why in the hell is that huge tiger with us and strapped in?"

"Well, I couldn't leave him anywhere safe 'cause the guy at the front wouldn't hold him for me, so I gave him tickets for the tiger."

Sano sweat dropped.

- -

"A mile."

BANG!

"A half a mile."

BANG!

"One third of a mile."

BANG!

"A meter."

BANG!

"A yard."

BANG!

"A foot."

BANG!

"A foot in the opposite direction. Dang Shu, you suck at shooting galleries!"

"It's not my fault! And besides, I wasn't a mile off!"

"Yeah, your right. It was more like three miles."

"Not true!...hey, what happened to the guy at the counter?"

"Oh, you mean him?" Kyo pointed down at the counter man laying on the ground, surrounded by pellets, and covered in bruises.

"Maybe we should go," Shuichi said setting down the gun.

"Yeah, let's."

The two quickly jogged away as people began crowding around the now trashed tent and the injured man.

- -

Kyra and Sano headed back to the meeting place where the others were already waiting.

"What took you so long?" Josie asked, devouring a stick of cotton candy.

Kyra blushed and turned the other way, covering her head with the tiger. The others looked at her puzzled. Josie then gave an evil smirk.

"You two weren't making out, were you?"

Kyra seemed to shrink but Sano simply sighed.

"Yeah, for about half an hour in the Ferris wheel," Sano said.

The others immediately drew back to the opposite side of the bench.

"You're joking, right?" Kyo asked, a little unsure.

"Yes, I am," the others gave a sigh of relief.

"So, what did take you so long?" Shuichi asked.

Kyra shrank lower to the ground and seemed to become the tiger. The others kind of sweat dropped at this.

"She pushed me out of the Ferris wheel," was all Sano said.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO ON IT!" Shuichi shouted.

"Yes, well, you didn't tell me you were pushed out of it so I just thought you were being your normal stupid self."

"So what happened?" Terra asked.

"I was trying to move her tiger and so was she and when we began to go down. I was about to take the thing from her, but she shoved me away and I fell out the door where I hung on to the wheel for fifteen minutes until the idiot working the controls finally let it stop at the bottom long enough for me to get off."

They all looked at Kyra with eyes half lowered, but the girl seemed to have become one with the ground. Then they heard a snicker. Listening, they followed the found of the chuckling and found it was coming from Kyo. The man's face was red and he looked about ready to explode. And low and behold, he DID explode! …..with laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I WOULD'VE GIVEN ANYTHING TO SEE THAT! Hee hee hee-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! SANO HANGING HELPLESS ON AN OVERSIZED MERRY-GO-ROUND!" Kyo continued laughing but Sano kept a straight expression.

"You want another shot?" Kyo immediately shut up.

A beeping sound went off and they all looked over at Kyra who had emerged from the ground looked at her watch which was going off.

"OH! I'm sorry guys! I have to go somewhere real quick! But don't worry, I'll be right back! Here," she handed Kyo five tickets.

"What's this?" he asked.

"Tickets for a drive-in theatre. I'll meet you guys there in a little while. OK? OK. Bye!" she ran off, tiger in hand.

The others stood there, watching her run off.

"O…..K," Kyo said. "Let's go."

"OK."

"Coming."

"I wonder what movie it is?"

"Hurry, before it starts."

- -

Yuki and the others arrived at the train station with ten minutes to spare. They set down their bags and sat on a nearby bench. A few seconds later a beeping sound went off and they looked over at K who was checking his watch.

"What's with the alarm?" Hiro asked.

"Not a clue. Hold on a sec, I'll be right back," he stood up.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Suguru asked.

"Bathroom," and with that K walked off.

Suguru shrugged and sat back down. Yuki stared off after the man. He had a feeling he wasn't going to the bathroom. But, he shrugged it off and waited for the train.

- - -

K looked around near a couple of pay phones when someone tapped him on his shoulder. He turned and stared into piercing green eyes.

"Hey," he said.

"What's up?" Kyra replied with a cheerful smile.

"Not a minute too soon. Here you go," K handed the girl a train ticket.

"Thanks. I really appreciate you getting the ticket, Mr,"

"K. But you can leave out the mister."

"OK, K. Well, I'll be seeing you around!" she began to run off when K called to her.

"Ms. Choshi!" Kyra stopped her ascent up the stairs and faced him.

"Thank you. For everything you've done."

Kyra blinked, then gave a warm smile that K had never seen before.

"You're very welcome! Bye now!" she waved and disappeared within the crowd.

K continued to stand there, until he heard a horn and looked to find his train had arrived. He quickly rejoined the 3 men and they all climbed on the train.

"This sucked," Hiro said, throwing his bags on the overhead rack once they were inside his compartment.

"Now what are we gonna do?" Suguru asked as they situated themselves.

"Oh, I have a feeling everything will work out fine," K sat down next to Yuki, who was leaning against the window.

"How so?" Hiro asked.

"I don't know. But I guess when Shuichi was bidding us farewell, he left out a part. He'll be back tomorrow."

"How do you know?"

"Because it's just like what Juliet said to Romeo when they parted that sweet night. 'Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow'."

Hiro and Suguru sweat dropped as K actually acted out the part.

'He actually memorized that?' Suguru thought.

K smiled and leaned back in his seat. Yuki, who was watching him, averted his gaze back out the window and frowned.

'Shakespeare can burn in hell.'
