"I AM NOT WEARING THAT!"
Inuyasha crossed his arms and stuck his nose up in the air as Kagome held a pink button-up collared shirt. They were both in Kagome's room while everyone else was waiting downstairs on the couch. To avoid having her friends look odd, Kagome decided it would be best to have them change their clothes. Sango was wearing a short, black skirt with a red sleeve-less top; Miroku wore jeans and a black t-shirt; Shippou wore a small sailor outfit that used to belong to Kagome's brother, Sota; Kagome put on a summer dress that was pink with sunflowers on it. She was offering Inuyasha the pink shirt with black pants and a black hat to go with the outfit, but the stubborn hanyou refused to wear anything of the kind.
"But Inuyasha it's the only shirt that will fit you!" She shouted as she tried to pull the shirt over his head.
"Ahh! Get away from me! RAAAAAPPPPPEEEE!!!!!" Inuyasha shouted, Kagome tripped over her feet and they both fell to the floor making a loud "THUD!"
"My, my it seems they're having a little trouble up there." Miroku said as he sipped some tea that Kagome had made for them.
"They'll be alright." Sango said as she flipped through a photo album of Kagome's family, "Look at how cute she was when she was a child! Adorable!"
"Yes, she's so beautiful and she still is. If only I knew her when she was that young, I'd--" A red-hand print was left on Miroku's face
"You perverted monk! You even think of children that way!? Disgusting pedophile..."
"I was just kidding though." Miroku cried
"Geez, watching you two is like watching Kagome and Inuyasha." Shippou said as he flipped through tv channels, "Isn't it fascinating? There are people in this small box!" Shippou stopped on a channel with cartoons playing, he noticed something odd, "Hey look! Those people look exactly like us!" They all stared in a complete daze as they watched themselves on the television.
Meanwhile back in Kagome's room...
"Put it on!" Kagome continued tugging the shirt onto Inuyasha and the hanyou kept refusing.
"No! No! No! No! No! No! Nooooooo!"
"That's it! Sit boy!" Inuyasha fell face-first into the carpet and Kagome pulled the shirt around him, buttoning it up. "There! Perfect! I don't know what you're complaining about... it looks terrific on you!"
"Hmpf..." Inuyasha put on a sour face and they both headed downstairs.
"Okay we're ready! Let's go!" they all headed out the door, walking to the local carnival.
The sun was bright and it was nice and warm out. The group walked as Kagome happily skipped leading the way. They passed through the beautiful streets of Tokyo-- playgrounds, shops, restaurants that smelled oh so wonderful! Inuyasha wanted so badly to eat some ramen, he nearly fainted as they passed a shop that carried a bunch of ramen noodles. After sightseeing the city they finally reached the carnival. All of their eyes lit up as they gazed up the wonder of the event.
"Is this it?!" Shippou jumped up and down with excitement
"Yup! This is it! The carnival!" Kagome said
"Goodness, everything looks so bright and different and..." Sango began
"FUN!" Shippou couldn't wait any longer. He raced into the excitement.
"What he said! C'mon! Let's go!" With that Kagome and the rest of the group ran into the field of fun and games.
"So where's all this ramen eating you told me about." Inuyasha asked with his arms crossed.
"Can't you NOT think of food for just one moment! This is supposed to be a place where you go crazy with games and prizes... not food!" Kagome bursted
"Fine!" Inuyasha shouted back, "So which of these 'games' have ramen for the prize?"
"Grrrr! SIT!" Kagome's temper loss sent Inuyasha face-first into the carnival dirt. Children who passed by stared at the silver-haired guy who looked like he enjoyed eating dirt.
The group found themselves going on a ride first. The circular ride tied each guest down and everyone inside began to spin-- first slowly, then the speed grew intensely fast, too fast for Inuyasha who stood next to Kagome as he watched with horror.
"We're seriously not going to ride that are we?" Inuyasha asked as he gripped Kagome's arm.
"Yes." Kagome stated, looking down at her arm as Inuyasha's grip became tighter. She had a devious thought, "Why? Are you scared to ride it?"
"N-no!" he stammered, "A-are y-you kidding? Me scared? Ha!"
"Alright, let's go then!" Kagome tried to hide the smirk on her face as she dragged Inuyasha into the horrific ride. Kagome led Inuyasha to an open spot and tied him up.
"H-hey! What're you doing?! Let me out of this thing!" Inuyasha struggled to get free.
"Now, now Inuyasha. You need to be tied down to this ride..." she tied herself into a spot next to him, "You wouldn't want to fly out during it would you?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he tried to speak but no words came out. The ride soon began to start slowly. There they were, all four of them-- Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha (Shippou was too short to ride so he went to play games instead). Faster and faster they spun, each of them looking like nothing but a blur of colors. Inuyasha screamed at the top of his lungs, "Kaaaaagoooommmeeee! Geeeettt meeee ooouuuutt oooooffff hhhheeeerrrreee!!!!!" Kagome didn't hear him, she, too screamed... but not fearful screams such as Inuyasha's. Her screams were more of joy and laughter. Miroku and Sango appeared to enjoy the ride greatly too. After what seemed like forever to Inuyasha the ride slowly came to a stop. Kagome, Miroku, and Sango untied themselves and went to go help Inuyasha-- who had fainted.
"You think that was a little too much for him?" Kagome asked as she patted his cheek to wake him up, her voice full of concern.
"Too much? For him? No, I don't think it was enough!" Miroku said, a laugh escaping his mouth.
"Be nice Miroku!" Sango nudged him with her elbow and the monk merely let out another short laugh. Inuyasha had finally come to his senses, still feeling a little dizzy though. Kagome untied him and the hanyou fell face first into the ground.
"Wow, you didn't even have to say 'Sit' this time!" Miroku joked again, Sango gave him another nudge. Kagome knelt down to pick up the weary hanyou.
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha are you okay?" she whispered
"Nyeah... mommy I want to stop now, mommy..." Inuyasha's head was still spinning.
"Maybe we should get him out of here." suggested Sango. Miroku picked him up and the group fled to a nearby food shack.
Kagome held a cup of sweet aroma underneath Inuyasha's nose. She had the perfect idea-- to wake up a stubborn half-demon, tease him with ramen noodles! It worked too! The once-before unconscious hanyou jolted up and scarfed down the cup of tasty noodles.
"Ah... now that's what I'm talking about!"
"Hehe...I thought you'd like that." Kagome said to him.
"Well, well... it seems you are enjoying yourself. Is that right Inuyasha?" Miroku couldn't help but to joke around again
"Eh... just leave me here with ramen noodles and don't ever bring me back on that ride!" Inuyasha shouted in reply. Shippou then came skipping in with a large fluff in his hands.
"Look at this you guys!" he held out the fluff to show them.
"What is it?" Sango stared and asked.
"Cotton Candy!" Kagome shouted as she plucked a piece of fluff and popped it into her mouth.
"Cotton... candy?" Miroku questioned as he too took a piece to examine.
"I dunno, I guess that's what it's called..." Shippou began, "But when you eat it, it's like eating a sweet tasting cloud! It melts into your mouth leaving a delicious taste!" Sango and Miroku each at their piece, their eyes filled with amaze after they put it in their mouth.
"Amazing!" they both shouted grabbing for more.
"Try some Inuyasha! It taste great!" Kagome said as she held out a piece to him. The stubborn dog refused.
"I'm not eating those nasty things!" he stuck his nose up in the air and folded his arms, "Get me some ramen!"
"But you haven't even tried it yet!" Kagome pushed the cotton towards his mouth, Inuyasha struggled to get free.
"Damn girl! I told you I don't want--!" Kagome had successfully pushed a small morsel into his mouth, bringing the hanyou's useless statement to and end. Inuyasha sat there and chewed.
"See, you like it don't you!" Kagome said. Inuyasha's eyes widened and he stood straight up. Kagome and the others stared at his odd reaction, "Inu...yasha?"
"THIS STUFF'S BETTER THAN RAMEN!" he snatched the whole thing from little Shippou and gobbled it down.
"Hey! That was mine! Inuyasha!" Shippou cried, Inuyasha ran past him, pushing the runt out of his way.
"MUST.....GET....MORE!!!" everyone watched as his silver haired flipped around while he ran around looking for more cotton candy.
"Well... I guess that answers your question Kagome." Miroku said smiling.
"I...guess...so..." Kagome was wide-eyed and couldn't believe what she saw Inuyasha do.
"Think we should follow him?" Sango asked looking back at Kagome.
"Of course! He still owes me more cotton candy!" Shippou was the first to race toward Inuyasha and the rest of the group followed.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was running around like crazy looking for the sweet treat. He ran toward a stand that he thought had some-- it turned out to be a caramel apple stand instead. That didn't stop Inuyasha, he grabbed and apple and gobbled it down. The stand runner was speechless as he saw Inuyasha eat the whole thing-- including the apple core! Inuyasha then ran off to another stand. This wasn't a cotton candy stand either, it was instead a buttered popcorn stand. Inuyasha grabbed handfuls of popcorn and shoved it all down into his mouth. Again, the stand runner appeared too stunned to even say anything. Inuyasha then ran off again.
Kagome and the others approached the stands where the sugar-high hanyou had been before. Food scattered askew all over the dirt as the owners of the stands picked everything up without a word. Kagome knew that Inuyasha had passed through here. She tapped one of the workers on the shoulder causing him to jump up. "I'm sorry if I scared you. By any chance did some kind of crazy kid with long silver hair do all this?"
"You mean that crazy guy who went on about cotton candy!?" Kagome stared back at the others and then turned and nodded, "Is he a friend of yours or something?"
"Yes he is actually." Kagome replied
"Well, someone needs to pay for all of this! Pay up babe!" the owner of the stand as well as the others which Inuyasha terrorized ganged around Kagome and her friends.
"Uh...well... I don't really have any money to pa--" Kagome began but was cut off by Miroku.
"Please excuse our friend sir. He is... how you would say... mentally ill." Miroku began making false statements about Inuyasha as Sango, Kagome, and Shippou stared at him-- trying not to laugh."So if you kind sirs would just please accept our apology we will find our friend and lead him out of here before he is to cause anymore damage."
"Mentally ill or not, he's going to pay!"
"Please sir! He won't do it again!" Shippou had become involved making his baby face as he begged the man. Bystanders couldn't help but "awww" Shippou, so the owner let them go free of charge.
"Shippou, Shippou, Shippou... what would we do without you?" Miroku said to the little fox demon.
"You guys wouldn't be able to stay out of trouble if it wasn't for me!" Shippou said as he trotted in front of the group with his little hands behind his head.
"You're so adorable!" Kagome and Sango couldn't stop squealing after his little act back there. A sudden bang was heard and the group quickly looked around and spotted a cloud of dust with screams in the air. "That must be him!" The group ran toward the attention as fast as they could.
Men, women, and children scattered as Inuyasha dove into the cotton candy machine. The silver hair of Inuyasha's head slowly tangled with the blue and pink of the delicious cotton candy he craved. Taking two handfuls and stuffing them in his mouth at a time Inuyasha showed no sign of stopping. Kagome and the others stared in awe as the watched the dog consume nearly the entire stand! Snapping to her senses Kagome ran toward Inuyasha, hoping to stop his devious hunger for the sweet sugar.
"Inuyasha! Knock it off!" she shouted as she cautiously approached him.
"Can't! This...mmm...is...mmm....so...mmm....GOOOOD!" he continued stuffing his face as he talked.
"Inuyasha!"
"Leave...me...alone!" Kagome was furious at this point and had to turn to nothing other than...
"SIT BOY!" holding a tub of cotton candy in his hands the hanyou was jolted down into the ground by Kagome's curse.
"Hurry and get him out of here Miroku!" Kagome ordered. The monk picked up the unconscious Inuyasha and dragged him away. Kagome sighed, "Well Shippou, I think we'll need your help again."
