a/n- @.@ eeee. Sorry it's a short chapter, but there will be more soon!

Warnings/notes- this story takes place before Aya-chan wakes up and after Omi gets his memory back. Ummm- dramatic!Yohji and mucho teasing of Kenken are the only things that comes to mind ^^

~*~*~*~*~*~

Ken and Aya stood by the exit waiting for the other two to get off. Aya was pointedly *not* looking at Ken. "Look Aya, I'm sorry. I was just messing around." Ken felt really bad and didn't want Aya to be mad at him all day. Aya continued to stare at the exit in silence. Ken walked around him so he could look the taller boy in the eye. "I mean it. I really am sorry. Please don't be mad at me all day." Aya was trying to ignore him, but those beautiful, sorrow filled eyes bore right into his own. The red head relented and sighed. Ken relaxed and started to smile just as Aya punched him in the shoulder, hard. "Don't ever do anything like that again, understand?" Ken nodded and then leaned forward and hugged Aya. Violet eyes looked about ready to fall out of the socket.

"Hey, hey now. None of that in public." Yohji walked by and slapped Aya on the ass. The red head jumped, spun around to glare at Yohji, and backed up directly into Ken. They both went down on the ground hard. "Ow! Aya get your skinny ass off of me." Ken playfully shoved the taller boy off. Yohji walked back over to watch the show. "And when did you first notice that Aya had a skinny ass Kenken?" Ken looked up startled. Omi walked over next to Yohji and decided to join in on the fun. "Yea Ken-kun? Why the sudden fascination with his butt?" The brunette slowly picked himself up off the ground and started blushing. "N-no.. I-I." Ken was looking around wildly trying to find a distraction. "Leave him alone you two." Aya said as he stood up.

"Oi Aya, when did you start defending Ken? Do you like him staring at your butt?" Yohji was really getting into this. Aya refused to give into such stupid tactics, but he felt his cheeks getting a little warm. "Ooh. Look, I think he's blushing!" Omi squealed while peeking out from behind Yohji. He loved to tease too, but the shorter boy didn't want to face the wrath of Aya head on.

"Come on you guys, I thought we were going to go on some rides." Ken was standing a further away looking around the isle. "You can't avoid the topic Kenken!" Yohji walked up behind him and pinched him soundly on the butt. The taller blond was really getting into a serious teasing mode. "H-hey!" Ken covered his butt with his hands and whorled around, his entire face beet red. "Oh leave him alone now Yohji, you've had your fun." Omi had decided to come to his friends defense knowing how flustered the brunette could get. "Would you rather I pinch *your* butt Chibi?" Omi squealed and took off running with Yohji right behind. Ken laughed, relieved that Omi had taken the spot light off of him. Aya walked up to stand next to him as they watched the two blonds running around. "It looks like it's working Ken." Ken flushed at having Aya standing so close and actually using his name. It made his whole body tingle. "W-we.." Ken coughed to clear his throat, "we'd better stop them before security yells at them." They headed out to round up the two rowdy boys.

When Ken and Aya caught up they were all standing in front of a carousel. Ken looked at it with a wistful sigh. "Let's go on this." He said smiling. "Feeling nostalgic Kenken?" Yohji asked coming up to stand next to the shorter boy. "Yea maybe a little." Yohji smiled down at him. "I agree lets go on the carousel."

Yohji got on with Omi close behind. Ken continued walking around, looking at each of the horses. Curious, Aya followed him. The brunette finally stopped in front of an all black horse. He stood next to it and rested his hand on it gently, a soft smile curving his lips. Aya stepped up behind him and sat on the horse next to the black one that had caught Ken's attention. Ken sat down on his horse and turned to Aya. "The black ones were always my favorite when I was a kid." His eyes looked distant as he leaned forward and rested his head on the pole.

Aya said nothing, letting him enjoy his memories as the ride started up. As the music played and the horses moved up and down Aya remembered his own childhood and how his sister had loved carousels. She had always wanted the white horse and would proudly sit on it, declaring her self a princess. Sad eyes slid down and noticed that the horse he sat on was white. He smiled even as he felt the familiar prick in the back of his eyes. Aya felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Aya. I didn't even think about how this would make you feel." Violet eyes looked across and smiled sadly. "It's alright Ken. It's good to remember something happy about her." Ken nodded and stayed silent through the rest of the ride.

~*~

On the other side of the carousel an entirely different mood was present. When the ride started up Omi's horse jerked as it began rising up and down. The blond wobbled a bit and felt a hand reach out to steady him. Omi looked up with wide, embarrassed eyes. "I didn't think this one moved." He explained sheepishly. Yohji smiled down on the boy. He had gotten off of his horse, which wasn't moving, to steady Omi. He stood next to the younger boy and left his hand where it was. "Ken looked kind of sad." Omi remarked. "Yes he did. It's probably because he remembers riding these with his family when he was little." Yohji was looking strait ahead with an odd look on his face.

"I don't think I've ever been on one before." Omi was searching through his meager memories of childhood. Yohji's head snapped around in surprise. "Never?" Omi shook his head, "No. I'm think I'd remember something like that." Yohji looked at the blond head bobbing next to him. Omi's face was unreadable. "Are you sure Chibi?"

"Yea I'm pretty sure. My father.." Omi winced, "was always too busy to take me anywhere. And my brothers.." he winced again, "were also very busy and only played with me at home." Yohji moved his hand around Omi's waist and gave the smaller boy a squeeze. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up the past."

Omi smiled up at him. "It's alright Yohji-kun. I'd rather have my first memory of this be with a friend rather than them anyway." Yohji smiled sadly and ruffled the boys honey hair. Yohji looked forward again and got lost in his thoughts. ~He isn't really a Chibi. No mere child has been through the kind of things he has. I wonder if we'll ever know how it is he's managed to stay so sweet and caring through all of this.~

When the ride ended Yohji was still looking forward. Omi opened his mouth to say something when he saw Ken and Aya getting off together. They both looked at peace for just a moment. Omi elbowed Yohji hard in the ribs. Yohji squeaked and glared at Omi. He just laughed at the older boy and pointed to their friends. "It looks like my plan to get those two together is working." Yohji's mouth dropped open. The twin shock of Aya looking relatively happy and Omi's confession floored him. He had never thought the little blond had it in him. Or would approve of that kind of relationship. He just stared at the boy until Omi hopped off the horse and yanked on his arm. "Yohji-kun, we have to get off now. Come on!" Omi pulled the stunned Yohji off the ride and over to the others.

"Oi what happened to Yohji?" Ken leered in the tall blonds face. Yohji snapped to and pulled Ken into a romantic embrace. "Why whatever do you mean my dear Kenken?" Ken's eyes were enormous as he stared blankly up at the jade gaze. Yohji leaned his face down and made a kissy face a Ken. That woke the brunette up, and he pushed himself out of Yohji's grasp. He stumbled back a bit, but Aya was there to catch him. Ken looked at Omi who was cracking up and finally got that it was a joke. ~But he had looked so serious!~ Ken's mind reeled at the acting skills of his friend. He laughed, "Sorry Yohji, you're not my type." Yohji affected a wounded face. "That hurt Kenken." He clutched his chest dramatically, "You wound me so!" He winked at Omi. "So what *is* your type oh dark haired one?"

Ken didn't take the bate and surprisingly didn't blush either. "Well not a playboy, that's for sure! I would want someone who would be loyal and not ogling everything that walks by." Ken folded his arms and nodded. Yohji clutched his chest again. "Oh Ken! The hurtful things you say to me!" Omi was almost falling over he was laughing so hard. Aya stood behind Ken and looked thoughtfully at the brunette's back. Ken chuckled at Yohji's over acting and turned to Omi who was still laughing. "Hey Omi, what ride to you want to go on now?"
