Waking the Fallen
Chapter Three: him and her
Ryu took a deep breath, and screamed at the top of her lungs, while also screaming at herself in her head, wondering why the hell she had agreed to this.
"KURAMA! I'M GONNA KILL YYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUU!" Kurama laughed and then screamed with her. The roller coaster they were on went upside down again, then sped up as they rounded a eight-five degree turn. After another ten minutes or so of Ryu cursing Kurama to hell for all eternity, and Kurama alternately laughing and screaming, the ride came to an abrupt stop. They both staggered out of their car, and kind of flopped down on a bench.
"Hey.......gasp Kurama. Want to play that pointless, impossible game over there? You know, the one where you throw the rings on the rubber duck?"
"cough Sure. Loser buys pizza." When they felt a little better, both staggered up and ran over to the game booth at the carnival. Rounds after rounds of the game came to pass, with no victor or end in sight. But, all things must end. With a flick of the wrist, Ryu finally got a ring around the neck of the duck.
"WOOOOOT! MWAHAHAHA! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DRAGGING ME ON THAT ROLLER COASTER!" Grinning, she pointed to the pizza stand.
"Well, Ryu, I'll give you the money for the food if you buy it. That way, it'll look like I won."
"sigh Since you put it that way....................sure." Ryu walked over to the booth, and thought how she ended up here with Kurama to begin with. 'I wonder why I said yes to this, when it seems so much like a date. I mean, we don't act like it is, but the carnival is the best place to take a girlfriend or whatever. Kurama's a great friend already, but I don't like him like that........do I? No.....of course not.......I think. AGHHHHH. I don't have to explain myself to....... well.....myself.......and that's that! End of discussion!'
After ordering and paying for the pizza, Ryu walked over to some randomly placed tables and waited for the food. Kurama appeared then, with his hands behind his back. Without a word, and blushing slightly, he handed her a huge stuffed panda bear.
"Kurama! Aww! It's so cute!!!!!! Arigato!" Ryu jumped up and hugged him tightly for a few minutes. Then she realized what she was doing and let him go. Kurama was now blushing a color that rivaled his hair. Ryu supposed she was too, from the heat radiating from her face.
"Uh.......do you want to go back to campus? I mean, it's really getting late and......." Kurama cut her off with a wave of his hand.
"You're right. Ishamoto will kill us if we're late for his class again." Walking back, Ryu nervously went over what had just happened. 'Wow. That was unexpected. I've known him for a week now, but it feels like I've known him forever. But I don't like him in that way. Nope. Not gonna happen. And further more......'
Her train of thought was cut off when she realized Kurama was close to her. Really close. Kurama turned her towards him, and pulled her close. Ryu did not know what to do, but in that moment of indecision, Kurama kissed her. They pulled away from each other, wished each other a good night, and ran off to their separate dorms.
