Sitting away from the crowd of the carnival the group sat around Inuyasha waiting for him to return to consciousness. The sun was almost ready to set and Kagome sighed thinking that the day was a tragic mistake. Sango and Miroku noticed her crestfallen appearance and Shippou... well, Shippou was right next to Inuyasha regaining his cute composure.

"Kagome, " Sango began quietly, "what's wrong?"

"This whole day was just a waste, " Kagome sighed, "I guess Inuyasha was right, we all should have just stayed back in the Feudal Era."

"Don't say that!" Sango tried to condole her dear friend, "I've had a lot of fun thanks to your great idea!"

"Yes, " Miroku spoke up, "although I can't say that Inuyasha's behavior was reasonable, I did enjoy coming to and seeing your world."

"Really? You guys mean that?" Kagome looked at her friends as they nodded, "Thanks you guys. But I am really sorry for everything that has happened today."

"Don't be..." the hanyou had slowly opened his eyes as he regained his consciousness, "I'm sorry Kagome for ruining things."

"Inuyasha..." Kagome stared into his eyes and the two seemed to be closer. Kagome then broke the Kodak moment, "YOU BETTER BE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAD TO DO TO SAVE YOUR CRAZY A--"

"HEY! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING! I'M ONLY FIVE INCHES FROM YOU!" Inuyasha shouted back at Kagome waking Shippou.

"Well, it seems that the two have made up already." Shippou said as he sat up rubbing his eyes.

"Indeed." Miroku said, "Although if I were Inuyasha I would have done it a bit more nicely..."

"The sun will be setting soon. We have to get home before it gets too dark." Sango warned them.

"Oh right!" Kagome began, "But before we go we have to go on one more ride!"

The group followed Kagome through the crowds of people. They passed through the trashed stands that Inuyasha was to blame for-- angry owners glared at him, then cooed at Shippou's cuteness. Inuyasha smacked Shippou on the head.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Shippou cried, "What did I do?!"

"You're so damn cute you little brat." Inuyasha grunted.

"Knock it off you two we're almost there!" Kagome barked and started to run to the ride. The group quickly followed and finally came to a stop. Each one of them stared up at the high ride. It was the Ferris wheel!

"Wow!" Shippou shouted as his head followed the twirling wheel.

"What does it do?" Sango inquired.

"It's just like a scenic ride really. It goes around in a circle... slowly. Tokyo looks so beautiful at the top!"

"Intriguing!" Miroku nodded.

"But there's only a max of three per cart. So we have to figure out who's riding with who."

"I'll go with you Ka--" Miroku covered Shippou's mouth before the little demon could finish his statement.
"Sango, Shippou, and I will all ride together. You and Inuyasha can go ahead by yourselves into one." Miroku stated and Shippou jerked his head to stare at the monk.

"Okay, well... let's go then!" Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the hand and led him toward a cart.

"What was that for!?" Shippou said as he, Miroku, and Sango were put in a cart behind Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Don't you think those two deserve a little alone time?"

"No."

"You'll understand when you're older my friend." Miroku sighed and chuckled, "I can't wait to see what your hormones will do to you."

The Ferris wheel slowly began to start. Everyone was amazed as the ride slowly went about its circular path. Inuyasha and Kagome had sat across each other in silence.

"Inuyasha," the hanyou placed his attention on Kagome, "are you afraid of heights?"

Puzzled by the stupidity of the question he replied, "Of course not! Why would I be?"

"Good question." Kagome giggled to herself as she stared out to the view of Tokyo, "Isn't it all so beautiful? Just look at how the sun sets!"

"Uhm... yeah... really... pretty..." Inuyasha tilted his head as he tried to fathom the beauty in it, he just couldn't see it.

"You don't mean that." Kagome giggled again and then faced Inuyasha who stared right back at her. "Inuyasha... I..."

"...yeah?"

"I... I'm sorry. For all those sits earlier."

"Eh... don't worry about it. One day I'll get this damn thing off." he smiled at her and she smiled back. The Ferris wheel was nearly at the top. Inuyasha went over and sat next to Kagome. "Hey, I think I see it now. It does look beautiful from here."

Kagome's heart was pounding at the thought of Inuyasha so close to her. What's wrong with you? Why don't you just tell him how you feel? Go on! Kagome sighed and took a deep breath. "Inuyasha..." The hanyou cocked his head to face her. Kagome could see straight through his golden eyes as the sunset was bright behind him. He looked so nice that close to her. "I...." she was still stuttering.

Inuyasha placed a hand on hers and whispered, "What is it Kagome?"

"I... I... Inuyasha... I..." she could feel both of them getting closer. We're going to kiss! She closed her eyes as she drew closer to the hanyou, just as their noses met...

"BLEH!" Inuyasha quickly turned his head and vomited all over the floor! Kagome was stunned, and nearly ready to faint. They were so close! Inuyasha continued to hurl all the cotton candy he had consumed before-hand. And so their romantic ride became nothing more than a pungent and sickening ride.

As the Ferris wheel began to stop everyone got out of their carts. Inuyasha stumbled his way out and Kagome stepped out behind him disgusted. The silver-haired hanyou raced toward the restrooms to continue his barfing. Kagome met with the others.

"Kagome! That was so fun!" Shippou jumped.

"Yes! Very!" Miroku said, "Where's Inuyasha?"

"He's puking in the bathroom." Kagome let out under her breath, Shippou and Miroku went over to check on him.

"Should I ask how your ride was?" Sango hesitantly said.

"...so much for a romantic evening..." Kagome sighed.

"There's always the next carnival." Kagome looked up as Sango winked at her and smiled, Kagome managed to let out a smile as well.
"That's right... there's always a next time."
