I don't own Inuyasha and noone cares.

A/N- I do not know anything about Japanese currency so I am using American money. If someone wants to give
me the Japanese equivilent I will change it.

Inuyasha looked at the carnival grounds. The smells and sounds were overwhelming. "Kagome. Is it some kind
of holiday?" asked the overwhelmed hanyou. "Not really. You see in my time people go to different cities
and set up this festival, and people pay to come and enjoy it." Inuyasha looked at her. "I don't have any
of your money though." She smiled at him. "Thats all right. I'll pay for the both of us." Inuyasha didn't
seem to like this idea, but didn't have much of a choice. 'I'll pay her back somehow.' he thought. "Come on!
Lets go in." Kagome ran towards the entrance with the hanyou in tow.

She paid the man up front for their tickets. And Inuyasha kept careful track of how much she paid. 'Atleast
that book I've been reading told me how to add up this time's money.' he thought gratefully. With his sensitive
ears he could hear exactly how much Kagome paid. They entered the fair grounds and headed to the main tent.
"Thats right folks! Beat Sontro the Invincible in a wrestling match and win $200! Only $10 a try!" Inuyasha's
keen ears picked up the barker above all the other noise.

"Oi Kagome. Lets go over there." Inuyasha motioned towards the barker's voice. Kagome stopped and looked over
towards where Inuyasha was pointing and shrugged. She couldn't hear the barker like Inuyasha could, nor could
she see the wrestling arena through the tents and crowd. "Ok. Why?" Inuyasha smirked. "You'll see." So the
two made a detour from their original destination. After a few minutes of pushing through the crowd (mainly
Inuyasha pushing and Kagome apologizing.) they reached the wrestling arena. (Think WWF style). Inside the

ring was a giant man. He was atleast 6'6 and had a huge shoulder width. He was bald and rippled with huge
muscles. At the moment he was flinging a smaller man around until he landed with a thud outside of the ring.
"NeeEXT!" Shouted the barker. "Who is brave enough to take on Sontro the Invincible! For a mere ten dollars
you stand to win 200!" Kagome looked over at the hanyou who was smirking and cracking his knuckles. "Oi Kagome
let me borrow ten dollars so I can pay you back." "Just dont kill him" she whispered.

Inuyasha nodded and Kagome handed him the money. Inuyasha stepped forward. Handing the barker the required
fee he hopped over the ropes into the ring. Sontro the Invincible laughed a deep laugh. "Hohoho! There is
no lightweight division here little boy." Inuyasha simply smirked and crossed his arms. "Oi! How do I win
this?" Inuyasha asked the barker. "The rules are simple. The first person to throw the other out of the ring
or knock the other unconcious wins. No knives or other sharp objects. And no other weapons either." Inuyasha
nodded. 'No claws then.' "BEGIN!" shouted the barker before hopping out of the ring.

As soon as the the barker had shouted Sontro rushed forward. Raising a big fist he swung at Inuyasha who simply
stood there with his arms folded. Kagome held her breath and crossed her fingers. At the very last second Inuyasha
caught the meaty fist inches away from his face by the wrist. Sontro looked flabergasted that a puny little kid
could catch his punch like it were nothing. Sontro the not so Invincible tried to pull his hand away, but Inuyasha
held firm. Even though he should finish the guy now he felt the need to show off to Kagome. 'She's got to get her
moneys worth.' He said to himself, not that he believed it.

Finally Inuyasha let go of the big guys wrist and he stumbled back a few steps. "You've got a good grip for a
little guy." Sontro commented. Inuyasha smirked. Sontro came at him again attempting to hit him with a wide
right hook. Inuyasha bent back (Matrix style w00t!) and let the fist pass over his head. As the startled Sontro
passed him from his own inertia, Inuyasha brought a leg up and kicked him in the stomach with the full of his leg.
With a groan the big man collapsed on top of Inuyasha's leg, folded in half almost. (Not Inuyasha's leg Sontro.)

Inuyasha picked up the unconscious man and carried him over his shoulder to the startled barker standing outside
the ring. He grinned at Kagome who blushed a little. Inuyasha set Sontro on the ropes of the ring like a sack
of potatoes. "Give the money to her." Inuyasha motioned to Kagome and the barker just nodded and handed the money
to her sullenly. "Tell me if you ever want a job kid." Said the barker. Kagome and Inuyasha walked off towards
the main tent again.

"Wow Inuyasha you did great." Inuyasha grinned and puffed his chest out in pride. "Yeah well, I am half demon."
"Yes you are, but youve got the ego of a full demon already." Kagome giggled and the deflated Inuyasha looked
at her. "Hey whats that supposed to mean!"

***************************************************************************************************************

The couple entered the main tent and sat down. While they waited for the show to start Kagome gave Inuyasha
a quick lesson on the value of different bills. She then handed him the money he had won minus what she had
spent already. (Inuyasha insisted) The lights dimmed and the show began. Numerous performers came out, doing
all sorts of amazing tricks. Frankly Inuyasha thought it was boring, but Kagome was enjoying herself so he
didn't mind. He noticed other couples around and all the guys had their arms wrapped around their girlfriends.

He followed their example and wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist and she snuggled against him. Yes all was
right in the universe. That is until the universe relized this and decided to put a stop to it. The clowns
arrived. 'What in the name of the seven hells are they?' They were as pale as ghosts and had really had poofy
hair. They also had big red balls on their faces that Inuyasha guessed were noses.

Kagome felt Inuyasha stiffen and his arm pressed her closer to him. 'Uh oh.' Unfortunately for Kagome, and
even more unfortunate for the clowns, the two of them were sitting in the front row. And the clowns were going
around occasionally hopping into the stands to grab a couple and bring them into the ring. "Inuyasha don't attack
them!" she hissed urgently. Inuyasha did not respond his attention on the freaks inside the ring coming closer
and closer to his Kagome.

The clowns grabbed Inuyasha and Kagome and brought them into the ring. Inuyasha held Kagome close to him, but
allowed himself to be brought in towards the other couples. Kagome sighed in relief that Inuyasha wasn't going
to wipe the floor with the clowns' heads. The clowns lined up the couples up. They then went down the line.
At each couple they stopped and asked them to pick a hand. In each hand was a flower. If they picked the right
flower they got to keep it. If the picked the wrong one, they got squirted. The correct flower was red, the
wrong flower was yellow.

'Oh please let it be red.' She begged and picked on of the hands. The clown opened his hand. Yellow.
'Oh God help us.' she thought as another clown came up with a fire extinguisher full of water and let them have
it. Inuyasha was soaked. He looked over at Kagome. Her dress was sticking to her skin and her hair was matted to
her forehead. Rage filled him. "Inuyasha don't!" Kagome yelled, but it was too late. Inuyasha grabbed the
extinguisher and let the clown have it. Inuyasha unloaded the whole thing on that clown.

He then dropped the bottle and grabbed the clown. Kagome grabbed on to Inuyasha. "SIT!" Both of them plummeted
to the ground. To everyone else it looked like Kagome hand simply jumped on him. She helped him get up and
dragged him out of the tent. "Kagome where are we going?" She glared at him. "Home." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome
around the waist and pulled her close to him. "Wait. Don't be angry. I'm sorry." She looked up at him. Her anger
at the hanyou for nearly getting them arrested disapeared.

"I'm sorry I got upset, I didn't understand." Inuyasha said softly looking into her eyes. She looked back and
wrapped her arms around him. "Its alright Inuyasha. I forgive you." Inuyasha lowered his face towards Kagome.
Her heart beat faster. 'Don't drool. Don't drool.' Kagome repeated over and over. She leaned up towards his face
and "KAGOOME!!" The two leapt apart like the other was on fire, both of them blushing.

Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka ran towards Kagome waving. Kagome shot them a glare that would melt a glacier. "That was
great!" shouted Yuka. Eri nodded. "That was sooo funny how Inuyasha squirted that clown!" Ayumi got a dreamy
look on her face. "I wish my boyfriend was that protective." Kagome simply stared at Ayumi and Inuyasha chuckled
until he got an elbow in the ribs.

Kagome decided to change the subject. "Hey Yuka, did they ever figure out what started the fire? Was it vandalism?"
Inuyasha stiffened slightly. Yuka thought for a second. "Umm. Nope they still don't know." Eri grinned. "Sure was
lucky this happened when your boyfriend was her eh Kagome?" Kagome nodded. 'Hey wait a minute...' It WAS pretty
convienient that the school caught on fire, and that she was here with Inuyasha. She looked up at Inuyasha.
'He wouldn't have. Would he?" It all made sense. The school catching on fire, and then her finding Inuyasha
entering the front door.

"Will you excuse me for a minute guys? I need to talk to Inuyasha." She then dragged Inuyasha a little distance
away. The three girls looked at eachother. "Inuyasha, did you set my school on fire so I could spend more time
with you?" Inuyasha gulped. Kagome reached up and grabbed his hair. "YOU DID DIDN'T YOU!" she shrieked getting more
than one stare. Inuyasha tried to shake his head but that hurt more than a little since Kagome had a firm grip on
his hair. "No! I swear Kagome I didn't go anywhere near your school!" Kagome looked into his eyes. He was telling
the truth.

She sighed and let go of his hair. "I'm sorry Inuyasha." Inuyasha reached up and rubbed his poor head. "Feh, did
you have to squeeze so hard?" he grumbled. He smiled apologeticly and gave his arm a squeeze. "Come on we better
go back." Inuyasha sighed. 'That was too close.'

Kagome and Inuyasha returned to where they had left the three girls. "So does this mean Inuyasha is single again?"
asked a hopefull Ayumi. Kagome glared at her. "Guess not." "Lets go on some rides." said Eri the peacekeeper.
Kagome brightened. "All right what should we go on?" Yuna pointed to the Gravatron. "I love that ride!" all
the girls squeeled and ran towards it. A confused Inuyasha followed.

They waited in line and gave the ticket-taker the correct ammount of tickets. Then the five of them entered the
Gravatron. 'What the devil is this? Is it like a bus?' thought Inuyasha as he looked around. The four girls
found spots on the cushions on the walls and beckoned for Inuyasha to join them. He stood next to Kagome, with
Eri on his right and Yuka and Ayumi to the left of Kagome. "Oi Kagome. What do we do?" he whispered. She grinned
"You'll see."

The door of the Gravatron closed, and Inuyasha very much wanted to rush over there and force it to stay open.
But the other girls didn't seem to find being shut in here so Inuyasha steeled his nerves and stayed put.
The Gravatron started to move slowly spinning. Then it started to move faster and faster. Inuyasha could feel
himself being pressed against the cushion. His eyes widened. 'Kagome's going to be crushed!' He looked over at
her and she smiled. She started to move around a little, but the effort it took was obviously a lot. And the
Gravaton was still spinning faster and faster.

Inuyasha pushed himself up. He then took one step towards the center of the machine were a man was sitting.
Inuyasha assumed he was the one controlling this. Everyone gaped as the scrangly teenager fought against
the g's of force being pressed against him like it was nothing as he made his way to the middle of the
ride. "Inuyasha! It's alright! Its just part of the ride!" Kagome shouted. He turned around to look at her.
'This world is insane.' he thought but made his way back to his spot and sat on the wall to wait for this
madness to end.

Kagome was trying to get up and sit next to him and having alot of trouble. He smirked and lifted her up
into a sitting position. "You think this is fun?!" he asked incrediously looking at her like she was insane.
She grinned and nodded happily. The ride started to slow down, and Kagome and Inuyasha started to slide down.
That was fine for Inuyasha, he was wearing pants. Kagome, however, was a different matter.

She flushed red as she attempted to keep her dress in a modest position. When the whistling began, Inuyasha
ended it with a murderous glare. He lifted Kagome up and set her down in a standing position. Still blushing,
she whispered a thankyou. Inuyasha simply smiled. The five exited the ride, Kagome's friends in awe of Inuyasha.
"I think that was the first time anyone has ever gotten off the wall of the Gravatron!" exclaimed Yuka. Inuyasha
puffed out his chest a little, and Kagome wrapped her arm around his. "Where to next?" asked Eri. 'Oh great, more
of these crazy rides.' Of course nothing could get Inuyasha off of his emotional high right now. He had impressed
Kagome multiple times, and she was wrapped around his arm. They could go on a thousand Gravatrons and he wouldn't
care.

"Howabout the roller coaster?" suggested Ayumi. Kagome didn't know about that idea. "Well.. I don't really like
roller coasters..." she started. "Thats all right. If you don't want to I'll ride with Inuyasha." Ayumi teased.
Kagome glared. "Ok ok I'll go." Ayumi led the way to the roller coaster. Luckily, there wasn't a line so they
handed in their tickets and got on. "Please take your hat off." said one of the operators. Inuyasha removed his hat
and put it in his shirt. The operator stared at the hanyou's ears, but decided not to comment. "Hold on." he said
pushing down the safety bar.

Kagome and Inuyasha had 'somehow' managed to be seated in the first row, the three girls behind them. Inuyasha
looked over at Kagome. "Oi are you sure this is safe." She nodded. Inuyasha decided it would be better if he
held on tight anyway. He had seen something that had oddly looked like a loop in the track. Inuyash placed his
hands firmly on the bar and looked at Kagome again. "You sure you can hold on?" She looked at him and gave him
an encouraging smile. "Don't worry Inuyasha. Its safe."

*****************************************************************************************************************

Inuyasha got slowly out of the roller coaster looking slightly green. He put his hat back on and started to walk
away. Eager to get as far away from this thing as possible. The operator looked down at the bar that Inuyasha
had been gripping. There were Inuyasha sized grip marks on them. 'What do they feed kids these days?' he wondered.

*****************************************************************************************************************

After the little roller coaster adventure, Kagome had decided it was better if they didn't go on any more rides
for a while. They had said goodbye to Kagome's friends and headed to the games. They had played about every
competition game that was in the fair and the score was about tied. (Kagome suspected Inuyasha was letting her win)
They were sharing some cotton candy and walking around when something caught his eye. It was big. It was fluffy.
It was a stuffed dog with white ears. And it was huge.

Inuyasha paused and Kagome stopped too. She followed his gaze to the big stuffed animal. "Oh wow! That looks just
like the dog I told you about!" That was all Inuyasha needed. He was going to get that dog. He walked over to
the booth. It was one of the ones where you use the hammer to try and ring the bell. He turned to the sleazy looking
guy owning the booth. "Oi how do I win that dog?" he asked. The sleazy man with a bald spot grinned a toothless grin.
"Its quite simple. All you have to do is ring that bell. $2 a try." Inuyasha handed him the money. He took the biggest
hammer there and looked up at the bell. He judged about how much he'd have to hit the machine to get the bell to ring
and decided to hit it with twice the force just in case.

He brought down the hammer. *WHAM* the little ball flew up towards the top only to stop right before the bell.
Noone else could hear but Inuyasha heard a soft wump as the ball hit something blocking its way to the bell.
His eyes narrowed. This guy was a crook. "Aw to bad. Almost there." The sleazy man handed Inuyasha a small version
of the dog. Kagome took it and smiled. "Its alright Inuyasha. I like anything you win me." she assured. But Inuyasha
would hear nothing of it. He handed the cheating man another $2 and cracked his knuckles. Inuyasha hated cheaters.

'Time to teach this man a lesson.' Inuyasha grabbed the hammer again and brought it down with all his might.
*WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*. The force of
Inuyasha's swing drove the machine a good few feet into the ground. (Which happened to be asphalt btw) The ball
moved faster than the eye could see and broke straight through the padding that blocked the way to the bell without
slowing at all. The ball didn't stop their and shot straight through the bell to and continued up into the air,
where it presumably made orbit of the Earth. Everyone in seeing ranged stood in shock. The stunned man handed
Inuyasha the gigantic dog. It was easily twice the size of Inuyasha. Kagome squeeled in delight. "All Right!"

She wrapped her arms around Inuyasha (well it was actually just his arm since the dog was taking up most of Inuyasha's
body). and gave him a fierce hug. "Thank you Inuyasha." Inuyasha simply grinned smugly. Yup all was right in the
universe again. Inuyasha carried the big dog towards the exit after they decided it wouldn't fit on any of the
rides. They met up with the nosy threesome at the entrance. "Oh wow Kagome! Look at the size of that!" cried Yuka.
The four girls talked exitedly as Inuyasha held the mega-doggy. After a while they all said farewell and Kagome
and Inuyasha headed for the bus stop. "So Inuyasha." She said with a sly grin. "How are we going to get this home?"
