He hung up without saying anything loving to her. He sighed and sat
down. This was really getting to him, he really didn't love her anymore.
But why was that? Had someone already gone and replaced her? He couldn't
think of anyone. He just closed his eyes, and then got up. He got his key,
and everything he needed. He went out, and headed for the board walk to
see Kagome.
Wait, did he want to see Kagome?
Yes.

Soakin' Up The Sun
Session Eight
Carnival Paradise
When I'm with you its paradise.
No place on Earth could be so nice.
Through the crystal waterfalls, I hear you call.
Just take my hand its paradise,
You kiss me once, I'll kiss you twice.
And as I gaze into your eyes,
I realize its paradise.
Now I know the sweetest dreams can all come true,
'Cause I found Heaven here on earth when I found you.
Its nothing I could ever make up,
How I hope I never wake up,
Just to find this isn't true reality.
-Paradise

Inuyasha stood behind Kagome, and watched her trying to win a big fuzzy
purple poodle. He said, "Here, let me try." He took the last ball, and
hit the figure, winning it for Kagome. He gave it to her. "Now, that's
true strength, wench." He said, mockingly.
She decided to let that one go, since he had won her the puppy. She
hugged it tightly to her body, and walked with Inuyasha to where ever he
was leading her. "So, where we headed to?" She said, wondering.
"Well, I saw this awesome roller coaster...-"
"NO." She said, firmly, stopping dead in her tracks. She seemed
to noticed they had a lot of those kinds of arguments.
"What? Don't tell me little baby Kagome is scared.." He grinned like
a mad-man, and it took all his will-power not to start laughing at her.
"So what if I am? I don't want to go, and you can't make me!" She said,
planting her feet on the ground.
Inuyasha was suddenly inches away from her face, grinning softly. Kagome
blushed, "Care to make a wager on that?" He spoke. He suddenly lifted her
up from the ground, and ran at full speed, getting to the roller coaster
in a matter of thirty seconds. She was trying to get away from his grip,
screaming and yelling at him. He put his hand on her mouth, and said, "I
have two tickets here for this ride. Here ya' go!" He stuck the tickets
in the man's hand.
They only needed two more passengers, which they just got, and the seat
belts and holdings around them tightened and closed. Kagome was panicking,
and screaming to let her off. Inuyasha told the man to come to him, and
he did. He put a hundred dollar bill in his hand and said, "Make it extra
fast." He winked, and the man nodded and smiled. He went over to the controls,
and put it on "Super Fast."
Kagome had her eye's shut, and she was close to crying. She didn't want
to be on here, she was scared! Inuyasha looked over at her, grinning evilly.
He started to feel it move, and they were going up a hill, everyone on
the ride screaming with anticipation. There had to be at least two hundred
people on this ride, he realized when he looked back. Courtesy of the man
who ran it, he put Kagome and Inuyasha in the front so they could go head
first. The ride suddenly stopped at the top of the hill, giving them a
good look at the ground. Inuyasha remembered the sign, and smiled evilly.
He whispered over to Kagome,
"One thousand foot drop." Instead, Kagome's stomach dropped.
The roller costar started going very slowly over the edge, and as soon
as it was about to go down, Inuyasha spoke again. "Get ready, 'cause here
we.. GO!" The roller costar dropped, and Kagome was screaming as
loud as she could. She held into the bars as tight as she could, and she
was crying. Inuyasha was having the time of his life. He was laughing,
and holding his arms out of the seat. He felt like he was flying, and it
was wonderful.
Then, it stopped again, Kagome thinking it was over, and opening her
eyes. They, were in front of the biggest loop she had ever seen. The carriage
began to go backwards slowly, and then went full force around the loop,
having five loops ahead of them. She thought she was dying, so she screamed
out, "INUYASHA! IF I DIE, I'LL HAUNT YOU FOREVER!" She was about
to cling to the bars again, when she just reached out for anything. Her
hands landed on Inuyasha's arm, and he just looked over at her.
He was confused at her motion, but let her keep her hand there since
she was so scared. This was his fault after all, but he enjoyed every moment
of it. He began to laugh again, as the wind blew at this figure with force.
He closed his eyes, and breathed in deeply. He smiled widely, and Kagome
was still screaming. It may have been just the moment, or the feeling he
was in, but he put his hand over the hand that rested on his arm, stroking
it gently.
Kagome stopped screaming, and opened her eye's to look at him. He had
his eye's closed, and was laughing happily. Her hair was being blown around
everywhere, but it seemed time stopped for her, as the ride when she felt
his skin come in contact with her's. She was puzzled, but, for some reason,
she now felt safe. Like, he would protect her if anything happened, and
nothing could go wrong. She leaned forward, and pulled her hands away from
him. She spread out like a bird, and let the ride have its full effect
on her. She was starting to enjoy it now.
She was free, and nothing could harm her. She felt invincible, and she
could conquer anything in the world. She smiled, and closed her eye's,
imagining a wonderful scene as her flying like a bird. Inuyasha looked
over at her, and smiled. 'She finally learned to enjoy it. I'm glad.'
It once again may have been the moment, or what was going on, but he
leaned out about as far as she did, and grabbed her hand. They were together
as one now, letting the wind put its force on both of them. They both had
big smiles, and wonderful laughs.
It was paradise.
The ride stopped, and Kagome and Inuyasha were the first to be released.
They got back the items they left behind so it wouldn't fall off during
the ride. They walked off the platform, and when Kagome walked on the ground,
she fell. The ride started getting to her, and she started to feel dizzy.
Inuyasha ran over to her. "Kagome, Kagome! What the hell is wrong with
you?" He said, showing a little bit of concern.
Kagome made herself stand up, but she was still wobbly, so Inuyasha
allowed her to put one arm around his neck so he could support her. She
all of a sudden started laughing even in her state, "Inuyasha, since WHEN
have
you been concerned for ME?"
Inuyasha realized what he was doing, and cruelly, dropped her. "I'm
not concerned for you, stupid! Where the hell did you get that idea?"
Then he remembered back on the ride where he grabbed her hand, and blushed.
Kagome got up from being dropped, and composed herself. The dizzy part
of her mind was gone, and she brushed all the dirt off her body. "I
liked the concerned Inuyasha better." She said, and walked off to another
ride.
Inuyasha stood there in shock at what she just said, 'Did she just
say.. she LIKED the concerned Inuyasha?' He thought to himself, and
was puzzled to say the least. He just followed behind her, to see where
she was going this time. "Where are you going, wench?" He said, waiting
for a response.
Kagome just kept walking, holding the poodle in her arms. She spoke,
"I'm going on a civilized ride, because the carnival is closing soon."
Kagome said, trying to get to her favorite ride.
"Which would be?" He hoped it wasn't something like a pony thing or
anything, but a good ride.
"That." She pointed, and stopped. Inuyasha stopped behind her, as she
pointed to the ferris wheel.
"Oh, right. Can I come?" Inuyasha said, surprised he even asked. Kagome
turned around and looked at him, surprised also.
"You want to come.. with me?" Kagome said, looking at him funny
now. 'Maybe he's on drugs..' Kagome thought, snidely.
"Um.. yeah.." He put his hands in his pockets, and walked up to Kagome.
He held out a hand, "Lets go?" He said, asking.
She took his hand. The sun had set now, and the stars were visible in
the sky. It was dark, but the moon gave the ground a glow so you could
see which path to take. Kagome was glad it was dark, so he couldn't see
her blushing. "Lets go." She responded, leading him to the last ride and
game of the day. Inuyasha gave the woman tickets, and did another blackmail
job. Except this one, he wasn't sure why he did it himself.
He put another hundred dollar bill in his hand. "Stop it when I get
to the top, and make it stay there for at least ten minutes." The woman
nodded, and smiled at him.
"I wish you luck." She said. Inuyasha wasn't sure what she meant by
that, but got in the cart with Kagome. It was going up slowly, and they
stopped at the top. Kagome didn't know that this was special cart they
got into, because the top and the windows of the cart went down, so you
could see the view of the beach and stars perfectly. She smiled, and hugged
the puppy she got from Inuyasha, and breathed in the damp air of the night.
It wasn't cold, but just perfect.
Two days down, five to go.
She leaned out of the cart, and looked down. She could see the beach,
and how it glittered beneath them. A leaf fell into their cart, and she
blew it down to the ocean. She couldn't see its landing, but she heard
the tiny little plop of it onto the water. She leaned back into the cart,
and smiled. "Thank you.."
Inuyasha looked over at her, "Thank you for what?"
"Giving me a nice time, I haven't had one like this in awhile.." She
trailed off. Inuyasha slid next to her, and smiled.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. "Your
still
a dumb wench."
"And you should still burn in hell." Kagome said, cuddling into
him.
They both looked up to each other. "I still hate you." They both
said, laughing.
Kagome stopped laughing, and looked up to him gently. "Friends?"
She said.
"Friends." Inuyasha said, smiling down at her.
They both didn't know this, but they thought the same thing at the some
exact time. 'Only friends?'
Only friends.
