Chapter 5: Ice Cream and meeting the girls

They went through a portal (how convenient, it worked) to a city. They wandered around and found an ice cream parlor.

Inside, Kurama ordered a double scoop of mint ice cream, Hiei had ordered a humongous bowl of twist, Karen had ordered a dilly bar, and Kris had ordered an ice cream bar. The sat at a booth, and ate quietly.

Small talk is awkward, and they weren't trying very hard at it. Nobody was really in the mood to talk.

When they finished, they decided to wander the town for a while, because they had nothing better to do.

After a little bit of window shopping, Karen asked, "Do they have movies here?"

"Yes, they do. Shall we go see one?" Kurama inquired.

In the long run, they decided to, and went. Kurama seemed to have an endless supply of money that he pulled out of his hair ("How do you do that!" Kris had asked), so that wasn't a concern. They got their pops and munchies (haha munchies…) and went into the theater.

Karen followed Kurama in the row of seats, followed by Kris then Hiei. With the two girls seated in the middle, and after Kris had gone to the bathroom right as the previews started to end (did that make sense?), the movie started.

The movie was one of those old horror movies that made you jump when you least expected it. It was quite interesting.

At the climax, both girls had their feet curled under them and were glued to the screen. Kurama and Hiei had seen the movie before, and knew what to expect, and anticipated the moment when the scariest part was to come.

When the moment came, both girls jumped and were taken aback. Kurama couldn't help but snort.

"Shut up, it's not funny!" Karen whispered to him.

Kris held her knees to her chest.

When they left the theater, both guys poked fun at the girls. After walking around the large city, they happened to stumble across none other than Botan, Keiko, and Yukina.

"Hi!" Botan greeted.

"Hi," Keiko said.

"Hello," Yukina greeted warmly.

After everyone had said their greetings and Botan, Keiko, and Yukina were introduced to Karen and Kris, they sat at a table at the city park. They watched a fair set up for later that night.

"So what are you guys going to do tonight?" Keiko asked.

"You're welcome to come to the fair with us," Yukina offered.

They eventually decided to, contacted Koenma, and waited for the fair to begin.
