Chapter: 16: A Journey In The Dark, Scroll 1
The night of the carnival had finally came, Miroku and Sango had agreed with the hanyou and the raven-haired girl that they would do a double date. It was now 7:30 p.m and Inu-Yasha was driving down to the carnival as Kagome gazed out the car window to stare at the starry night sky. The stars twinkled brightly with laughter and the moon shone down upon her raven colored hair.
The radio was one and the announcer was talking to those who cared to listen. Kagome smiled as their was not one cloud in the sky, she looked downwards to stare at the lights that past her by. Inu-Yasha stole hidden glances at her from time to time as he drove downtown. He drove with one hand on the steering wheel as Kagome suddenly giggled. Inu-Yasha's ears twitched in her general direction as he raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm?" he said as she looked at him, "N-Nothing." She smiled as he looked at her and then back to the road, "Well, what is it?" he asked with curiosity as she just grinned like a little fool. He glanced back at her and smirked inwardly when he saw the slight blush on her small round face. "I-Its your ears." She said and leaned back against her seat.
"What about them?" he asked as they neared the carnival, he could see the bright lights ahead of him. Some where blinking while others moved in a distinct pattern, he looked at the large ferries wheel that spun slowly around and a roll-coaster dart over a hill of tracks.
"Their well . . . kind . . . of . . .umm. . .cute." she said as he hid a blush from her by looking away. ["She thinks their cute."] he thought as they pulled into a dusty parking lot and amazingly found a place to park. Kagome was the first out of the old truck and she blinked a few times. ["Why the heck did I tell him that!?"] she yelled mental to herself as she heard Inu-Yasha's door close.
He was wearing a pair of baggy black pants with a chain contacting from his belt loop and to his wallet that was in his side pocket. He wore a simple red tank top and sandals. His hair was tied off in a loose fitting silver ponytail. His golden eyes eyed her with a hidden smile. Kagome wore a black mini skirt with a white T-shirt on under a light jean jacket; it was becoming chilly at night now. One her feet where a pair of sandals. Kagome wore her hair down and she placed her hands behind her back. "Come on, we need to find Miroku and Sango before she beats his skull in."
As Kagome and Inu-Yasha entered the carnival, they did not notice the pair of eyes watching them as they walked side by side. The two past by a few stands and rides as people screamed past them. Children where giggling with balloons in their hands and running from here to their like bees to a flower garden.
They past by a target shooting games and stands with food on them, but that all ended when Kagome spotted a huge blue and green colored teddy bear coming towards them. Kagome caught the sight of a hint of black hair swaying side to side and she smiled. "Sango, what on earth are you carrying that?" she asked as her friends head poked out from behind the oversized teddy bear.
"Cause its mine." She said with a grin as Miroku came up from behind Sango, "Hey guys." He said in greeting as Inu-Yasha looked at the ungodly sized bear that Sango was holding or appeared holding seeing as it cover her enter body. "Did, Miroku win that for you?" Inu-Yasha asked as suddenly Miroku scratched the back of his head. He was wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a white tank top under a black button up shirt that was left undone, on the back of this shirt was a tiger fighting a great Japanese dragon.
"Huh? Heck no! I won it myself, he couldn't hit the board side of a barn if he was only one cementer away from It." she laughed as Miroku blushed but then over came it easily as he said in a composed voice. "I only missed so to give her a chance."
"Yeah right." Inu-Yasha said as Kagome poked the bear in the nose, "Sure is big." She commented as Sango laughed, "I know, hey lets go one some rides!" Sango said happily as the others nodded in agreement. The double daters went to the ticket both to attain their tickets needed to ride the rides. They where a little frightened at first to see a giant teddy bear to suddenly come up to their window.
But once they had gained their tickets they did a little 'ride shopping' "Man look at them all." Miroku said as scream victims of the Silver Bullet went by. Inu-Yasha placed his ears flat against his head, high pitched screams never went well with sensitive ears such as his. "You okay, Inu- Yasha?" Kagome asked noticing his ears against his head. "Oh yeah I'm fine." He lied.
Suddenly Sango grabbed Miroku by the arm, "Oh!!! I love this ride!" she cried happily as she pointed to the Tomahawk. He stares with wide eyes as he watches people swing upside with their feet dangling and with straps around their shoulders the only thing that holds them in the wild ride.
Miroku suddenly dragged away by a over excited Sango. He looked at his friends with pleading eyes and mouths the words 'Help me'. But he received only laughter as he disappeared into the crowd.
Inu-Yasha smiled and looked down at the girl beside him, he nagged her with his elbow, "So what do you want to do?" he asked as she looked at him then placed a finger on her chin in thought. Then suddenly a swirl of lights caught her attention and she watched them for a moment, red, green, yellow, blue, purple all the colors in the rainbow and then some swirled together and then blinked to catch everyone's attention.
"Can we go on the Ferries Wheel?" she asked as she looked up at the Hanyou who nodded and they two walked through the crowded area. But stopped at a 'Test Your Strength' game. Inu-Yasha smirked at the challenge, he told Kagome he would be right back and so she stood by small wooden fence that closed off the green grass that held flowers. She watched as she saw Inu- Yasha take the mallet from the man and gave him his ticket.
Inu-Yasha smirked as he looked at the mallet, "So it the bell win a prize, eh?" he stated as the man nodded and he held the harm within his hands and then lifted it above his head and slammed the mallet into the area in which he was to hit. The weight crashed into the bell causing the bell to cry out its winner and shake at the impact. The man looked at Inu-Yasha and then smiled, "Take your pick." He said as the hanyou gazed at the prizes.
There water guns and necklaces, funny hats and mini games, all kinds of ends and odds. But his eye caught one object that he liked. "I'll take that teddy bear with the red ribbon." He said as the man brought down a medium sized white teddy bear with blue eyes and a red ribbon around its neck. Inu- Yasha took the bear with thanks and walked back up to Kagome and tossed the bear to her. She blinked in surprises as she caught it, she then smiled. "Its so cute." She said as Inu-Yasha looked down at her as the walked onwards. "Keep it then." He said as she looked at him in surprise and then blushed as she looked down, hugging the bear close to her breast.
"Thank you." She said in a small voice as music filled their ears, it was a soft music with a nice beat. She had noticed until she almost ran right into the ticket man that they where at their destination. She and Inu-Yasha paid with their tickets as a blue cab like carrier came down, the man opened the door for them.
Kagome took her seat before Inu-Yasha as he sat in front of her, the man then closed the door shut and locked it. Kagome fiddled with the ear of the bear as a jolt came and signaled that the cab was moving up towards the sky. She looked out the window to her right and watched as the people became like ants. She didn't know that the ride went this high and then the cab stopped to let more people on.
Inu-Yasha meanwhile stared at the girl before him, she looked like an angel, one that haunted his dreams. He watched her awe as a fire work shoot out and into the sky, it burst into a red light and then disappeared slowly into the dark sky. The ferries wheel moved again and started to go around. He watched the fireworks light shine on her lovely face as they went off.
She, feeling his eyes on her, turned to look at him. His eyes sparkled it seemed, but she shook her head, it must have been the fireworks that exploded around them. But in truth it wasn't he was happy. She blushed a little as he leaned closer to her, she nervously played with the bear. "Kagome." He said in a gentle voice and she looked back up at him.
She felt his hand cup her face as he neared her, she felt her blood rush to her face and her heart raced. ["What's going on?"] she thought as she leaned into him, "Inu-Yasha, what are-" she started as Inu-Yasha hushed her by pressing a finger to her lips. ["So soft . . ."] he thought as he replaced his finger with his lips on hers. She at first was shocked at this action and afraid. But she slowly closed her eyes as he kissed her.
Inu-Yasha felt her return his kiss, ["Oh kami, tell me I am dreaming."] he thought as he wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her over to his side of the cab and sat her upon his lap. Then they broke from the kiss, Kagome was blushing furiously as Inu-Yasha nuzzled her and whispered to her, "I love you, Kagome." Funny he thought, it was so easy to tell her, but did . . . she love him in return?? She opened her mouth to speak when suddenly the cab began to shake furiously and the two looked up to see sparks out of the corner of the window. Kagome pushes herself out of his lap and looked out sized and her eyes went wide.
"Oh kami!" she cried as the sound of bending beams where heard! Lights exploded as the Ferris Wheel tilted to the side. As a great gust of wind suddenly pushed the Ferris Wheel and it began its descend towards the ground . . .
