Chapter 6: The Fair
The fair started promptly at six, but the lines were huge by five-thirty. Luckily enough, they had gotten in line pretty early, and were only a few people back.
When they had finally all gotten their wristbands, they split into smaller groups and went in their separate ways, deciding to meet again at eleven by the ticket seller.
Yukina, Kris, and Hiei went their own way, while Botan, Keiko, Karen, and Kurama went theirs.
At first Hiei just sort of walked with Yukina and Kris, and watched them go on the rides and play the games. Finally Yukina dragged him onto one of the rides, and he must have had fun, because he went on the rest of the rides with the two girls.
Kurama, on the other hand, had to urge the girls to go on the rides with him. He managed to get them to go on all with him somehow.
The fair had started at six, and it was about nine, and everybody was getting hungry. The two groups ate the sinful fair food (Me: drool…).
Hiei once again got ice cream, making him one happy demon. He had a high intake of sugar, and Kris wasn't surprised he wasn't jumpy or hyper.
After eating, they played games for a while (riding rides after eating a lot doesn't agree well with your stomachs…).
They finally met together at the ticket stand at a little after eleven. They sat on top of a hill and waited for the fireworks to start.
They talked of what rides they liked or hated, which food was their favorite, and how it was getting a bit chilly out. Right at 11:30, the fireworks started.
Karen and Kris were awed by the figures that showed, compared to the boring fireworks they were used to.
The fireworks were to end at 12:30. It was around midnight, and Kris stated that she had to use the restroom, and that she had no clue where it was.
Hiei was told to show her to the restrooms, as he wasn't too interested in the fireworks. So off the two went.
Neither talked as Hiei led Kris through all the crazy people. They finally reached the more sanitary restrooms. After a minutes, Kris emerged. They started to make their way back.
Kris wasn't paying any attention to where she was walking and tripped over a cord, falling face first.
As she prepared to face plant in the dirt, a pair of strong arms caught her gracefully. She stared into the crimson orbs inches from her own.
"Watch where you are going," Hiei growled, letting go of her.
Kris blushed. "Sorry," she muttered.
"Hn." Hiei began to walk away.
Kris began to follow him, but another pair of arms grabbed her and pulled her away, covering her mouth so she couldn't scream.
Hiei didn't notice that the girl had been taken away until he walked into someone and waited for the girl to walk into him, but she never did. He turned around and searched the crowds for the girl.
Just as he began to worry if he should worry, he heard his name screeched. He ran to where the voice came from, but found no one. He looked around for anyone trying to hide a teenage girl.
