Chapter Five: Festival Day One
The next morning Tohru made breakfast early. They were meeting Momiji and Hatsuharu at the festival at exactly 10 o'clock. Kisa and Hiro arrived at the house at nine-thirty. Kisa was smiling but Hiro was doing his best to ignore Tohru. She didn't mind. She figured he was afraid that she told someone what they had talked about. She waited in the hallway with them till Kyo and Yuki appeared.
"Well you kids have fun" Shigure replied as he said goodbye.
"Thanks Shigure" Tohru said with a smile.
"And what are you going to be doing all this time Shigure?" Yuki asked.
"Oh don't worry" Shigure grinned mischievously, "I'll find ways to keep myself busy."
"Yea. That's what we're afraid of" Kyo added.
"Oh you two" Shigure frowned, "Do you always have to be so suspicious of me?"
"Yes" Yuki and Kyo said together.
"Well" Shigure smiled as he patted Kisa on the head, "At least Kisa still loves her grandpa Shigure."
"Oh stop that," Yuki replied with a hand to his head, "You really should give off a better impression than you normally do."
"Can we go this millennium?" Hiro spoke up with his arms crossed, "Don't you think I have things better to do then to stand in hallway all day? Do you think this is entertaining?"
"You little brat!" Kyo shouted, "We'll go when we are good and ready!"
"Okay" Tohru replied, "Let's go."
They all stopped talking as she slipped her hand into Kisa's and they walked out the door. Kyo and Yuki gave Shigure one more angry look then stalked out, followed by a sulking Hiro.
"She hasn't changed" Hiro thought angrily, "She still takes over Kisa."
When they started walking Tohru looked back and saw Hiro staring angrily at her. Then she turned to Kisa.
"Kisa, why don't you go walk with Hiro."
"Okay Sissy" Kisa nodded and walked back to Hiro.
He stopped frowning and watched stunned as Kisa took his hand and began to walk with him.
"What are you doing back here?" he asked.
"Sissy suggested that I come back here" Kisa replied with a smile.
"She did?"
"Mhm."
Hiro looked ahead once more at the back of Tohru's retreating figure.
"Well" he thought, "Maybe I was wrong."
**********************************************************
It took them another twenty minutes till they arrived at a large gate. Standing in front was Momiji and Hatsuharu. Momiji waved them over excitedly with the tickets in his hand.
"Hey you guys!" Momiji replied when they came over.
"You're late" Hatsuharu said to Yuki, "We were beginning to wonder where you were."
"Yea well Shigure had a few things to say before we left" Yuki replied.
"Okay everyone!" Momiji called to get their attention, "Here are your tickets for the day."
He gave each of them an orange slip of paper. Yuki stared at his a bit unsure till Tohru came up next to him.
"You ready Yuki?" she asked.
"Huh?"
"For your first experience at a Spring Festival?"
"Oh, uh yea" he nodded, "Lead the way Miss Honda."
**********************************************************
They entered inside the gates where several people had already arrived. Yuki stared in awe at the sight before him. The Festival went very far back. As far as he could see, there was something to do in every spot of the area.
"So what do you want to do first Yuki?" Tohru asked.
"Huh? I don't know" Yuki replied surprised.
"Kyo and I are going to play some of the games" Hatsuharu said, "Ready for me to kick your ass Kyo?"
"Yea right in your dreams cow boy!" Kyo replied excitedly back.
They walked over to the many game booths. Hiro and Kisa said they were going to ride some of the rides..
"C'mon Tohru!" Momiji replied as Kisa and Hiro took off and waved goodbye, "What are we going to do?"
"Bye!" she waved to the two kids, "So what will it be? Games? Or rides?"
"Well uh. I've never been on a ride before" Yuki replied.
"That settles it then!" Momiji said happily, "And I know the perfect ride to start him off with. Follow me!" Momiji took off running.
"C'mon Yuki" Tohru replied taking his hand and running after Momiji.
**********************************************************
Momiji led them to a ride that had a very low line. In the center of the ride were many large saucer cups.
"What ride is this?" Yuki asked bewildered.
"Let's go!" Momiji replied as he went into the ride.
Tohru gently took Yuki's hand and they walked over to the cup that Momiji was sitting in which was yellow. They sat down and strapped on the safety belts. Momiji clung to the center happily.
"So what's the point of this ride?" Yuki asked them.
"You'll see!" Momiji replied with a laugh.
The ride started and the cups began to spin.
"This isn't so bad" Yuki said as the cup spun slower then most on the ride.
"That's not the best part!" Momiji yelled above all the crowd.
"What's the best part?" Yuki thought, "I'm afraid to ask."
He looked over at Tohru who was grinning away as Momiji took the wheel in the center of the cup.
"You ready Tohru?" he asked.
"Go right ahead Momiji" she giggled.
"Yea!" Momiji shouted and began to spin the wheel.
Their cup went around much faster then before. Yuki watched in awe at first, then he started to feel sick. He could see all the cups spinning past him in a blur. He held onto the cup and held his breath.
"I knew I didn't want to ask," he thought as his stomach lurched.
When the ride was over, Yuki was the last one of the cup. He dizzily walked over and stood next to Tohru.
"What did you think of that Yuki?" Momiji asked as Tohru looked at him in concern.
"Oh, that was interesting" he replied rubbing his head.
"Great! Then I know the next one we should go on!" Momiji shouted as he grabbed his hand and took off running.
Tohru shook her head with a smile and followed them.
**********************************************************
Meanwhile Kisa and Hiro were riding on the merry-go round. Kisa was laughing and having a wonderful time. Hiro took her hand since they were sitting on horses right next to each other. She smiled as they continued to ride around. Kyo and Hatsuharu were playing several games. Kyo had won most of them, but Hatsuharu was about to win another.
After several rides Momiji suggested they go see what the others were up to. Tohru waited with Yuki as he ran off to use the bathroom.
"Are you okay Yuki?" she asked as she looked at him.
"I had no idea that rides could be so fast" Yuki looked sick.
"Not all rides are fast" she replied.
She looked around her and spotted Kisa and Hiro in another line for a ride. She smiled as she spotted the Ferris wheel.
"I know" she replied taking his hand gently, "I know the perfect ride for you Yuki."
*******************************************************
When Momiji arrived back Tohru told him that they were going to ride one more ride. Momiji nodded and said he was going to go see Kyo and Hatsuharu. Tohru led Yuki to the Ferris wheel.
"This ride will change your mind" she replied.
"Hmm?" he looked up, "Is it fast?"
She shook her head with a smile and pulled them into the line. Yuki looked around at the line in front of him. He watched as Kisa and Hiro climbed into one of the seats. He saw several other people do the same. His face suddenly turned slightly pink.
"Um Miss Honda" he replied.
"Hmm?"
"This is a ride for couples."
She laughed.
"Actually it only holds two people" she exclaimed, "Oh our rides here" she replied as the seat arrived.
They climbed in and the seat lifted. Yuki was actually amazed that his stomach wasn't doing flip-flops.
"See" Tohru looked at him with a smile, "A much easier ride."
"Yea" he nodded as he gazed down outside, "The views nice too."
"Mhm" she nodded.
"But you want to know what the best part is?"
"What's that?"
"The company" he smiled at her with his princely smile.
"Huh?" her cheeks turned pink.
He chuckled a bit.
"I'm glad that I came with you Miss Honda."
She smiled back and they continued to enjoy the pleasurable ride.
*******************************************************
When the ride was over, Tohru and Yuki met Kisa and Hiro and they walked over to the others to try some of the games. While Tohru and the other two went to get some tokens, Yuki waited by one of the game booths. He looked around happily but frowned when he saw a familiar person approaching him.
"Oh no" he thought as he saw the man, "Of all the people to be here" he looked towards the game booth where Kyo was playing, "This is not good."
The man stopped and looked at Yuki directly in the eye.
"Yuki" he replied, "It's interesting seeing you here."
"You too" Yuki bowed his eyes, "Uncle Rei."
Yuki's eyes moved slightly in Kyo's direction once again. Kyo was laughing and having a wonderful time. But all that would change. Any minute now.

When they started walking Tohru looked back and saw Hiro staring angrily at her. Then she turned to Kisa.
"Kisa, why don't you go walk with Hiro."
"Okay Sissy" Kisa nodded and walked back to Hiro.
He stopped frowning and watched stunned as Kisa took his hand and began to walk with him.
