I don't own Fushigi Yuugi. It belongs to its respected owners.
Author's notes: This chapter's separate 'cause I had ta get out of the angst mood. But they were both written in the same day.
Eh, I also wanted to thank the two people who reviewed the story. I really appreciate it. Thanks!

"Where the fuck am I?" He blinked out the haze from his tired eyes. The world around him had completely transformed into a crowded festival. There weren't that many booths around the place but there were sure a helluva lot of people. He got up from the grassy resting spot from an isolated corner. It seemed anyone who passed by him had ignored his unconscious body.
"I hope Soi wins!"
"No no! As soon as Nuri-sama finds a partner, HE'll win!"
"What the fuck is goin' on?" Tasuki wandered throughout the crowd, fishing for any clues that would tell him exactly what was happening. He walked toward what seemed to be a very short race track with people lined up on the sidelines, eating popcorn and all the junk food that children love.
"Hee hee, if Nakago and Soi win, he'll HAVE to stop flirting with others..."
"But I wonder why he ever agreed to participate with her in the first place. This must mean he's really serious about this!"
"I know! He's really competitive so there's no chance that he'll ever let himself lose..."
"Che..." The redhead ran out of nasty remarks to whatever the hell everyone was talking about.
"Father father! There's a dent in the moon!"
"I know son. That's been there ever since yesterday..."
He cringed remembering when he smashed into the damn white rock. It vaguely occurred to the redhead that it COULD be illegal to dent the moon and that he would be in trouble. So what's new?
"Ah! The fox man!" Tasuki ran back to the place where he first woke up (and that took him what... 20 minutes since he didn't remember where that was). The blue-haired man and the chibi form were gone. "Come ta think of it... I didn't see him when I woke up, neither..." But he felt bad since he was probably the reason why the chibi was gone. "HOW did I get here...?"
He ran through the crowd looking for his only, though limited, connection back to the town.
"Have ya seen this guy with blue hair and a fox face and what else... he had a cape with him..."
"No." Everyone shook their head and Tasuki was starting to get frustrated.
"Hmph! All the guys and girls here are so rude..." A femine tone broke through the air. Tasuki turned his head to a familiar voice. "I can't even find someone suitable!"
"Ah!" He screeched as the person turned to him.
"You're...!"
"Not here!" He turned to run away but a strong hand gripped his shoulder.
"Wait! Geez, will you stop struggling? I only want to ask you something!"
"Ask me somethin'!?" He yelled. "Like if I want to get ground into the damn rock painfully or agonizingly slow!?"
"I'm not THAT mean." A hurt pout. "Geez, you're so paranoid..." The feminine figure flipped his purple braid over his shoulder. The redhead was turned around to face the purple haired man. "Ne, would you..." He blushed. "... Do you want to be my partner?"
"Partner fer what?"
The smaller man blushed even more and gave him an annoyed pout. "You know for what... if you're not interested... just say so... geez..."
Tasuki threw his hands in the air. "I've been fucking here for what, a few hours now!? How the fuck am I supposed to know anything about this place with that fucking fox man and this fucking festival andÐ"
"Oi!" The redhead earned a flick in the forehead that sent him flying into the ground. "Watch your language, baka!"
"What do ya think yer doin'!?" He got up, eye twitching. Heh heh... twitching eye.
"You don't know anything, do you?" The feminine man sighed. "We hardly get newcomers I guess. This is the Dish and Spoon festival. It is held right after the cow has jumped over the moon. In which you did I guess... with MY help of course!"
"And?"
"Well..." The smaller man's face was completely red. "... ThereÕs a contest. After the cow jumps over the moon, the dish has to run away with the spoon. Whichever couple runs to the line on the track first gets the title as Honorary Partners and gets to meet Suzaku Sama."
"Eh? Who's Suzaku Sama?"
"Our king!" He gasped.
"King?"'
"Yes." That didn't seem to be what the purple haired man was worried about.
"You're asking me to be your boyfriend??" Tasuki yelled out.
"You could try a little more tact!" The other yelled back. "No, that's not it... it was never said that the dish was the spoon's partner. But everyone suspects that they got married eventually..." He turned away from the redhead. "And besides! I'm only in this to meet Suzaku Sama! And some ruffian like yourself could learn something from a great leader as well!"
"Che! Fine!" A light bulb appeared over Tasuki's head. "Hey! This king of yours could tell me how to get back to the town!"
"Hmph!" The feminine boy turned away. "Do whatever you want!"
"Grouchy all of a sudden." The redhead growled.
"I want candy!" The purple haired man poked him. "Candy!" And poked him. "Candy!" And poked him. "Candy!"
"KoRyaaaa!! STOP WITH THE POKING!!!!" He dug into his pocket and pulled out tiny little bits and pieces of some hard fruity candy that had lint attached to it. "Hey, speaking of fruity..."
No words were spoken. Tasuki was sent flying into the air.
