Author's note: Whoah... I had nine reviews last chapter! A new record!
Reviews!
Theblackdemoness: Thanks for the idea, but I can't use it. I want to make Kagome innocent. Thanks again for the idea and for reviewing.
Jamie: Thanks for correcting me and not killing me. Jujitsu huh? I'll look into it and see if I can find any moves for her to learn.
hpever: Me neither!
jaryjosephwantsapplejuicenow: Chicken search, eh? Very funny. That would be cool, though, if this wasn't a serious story.
And to steph, harrytaxed204, novicane, Forever Evil, and sveta89, thanks for the review! (It really motivates me to update faster, even though I'm really lazy!)
Carnival of Vui
Sango tiptoed into Kagome's room with a mischievous smirk. She crawled over to Kagome's drawer and turned off her alarm.
Kagome awoke with a start. She automatically turned off her alarm but then realized that was not what had awakened her. It was the evening sun.
With a gasp Kagome looked at the clock and was startled to see that it was three pm! Kagome threw off the covers and then got out of bed. Why didn't anyone wake her? Where was everybody?
Kagome looked at her dresser again and realized there was a note there. She picked up the sheet up paper and read the hasty scrawl.
Kagome,
Don't panic. I have a surprise for you. Change into your new clothes and then wait until three fifteen to come downstairs.
Sango
Three fifteen! Kagome scowled. Whatever it is, the surprise had better be good. Kagome got out a shirt which was black with small straps that had little diamonds on them. It fitted her snugly and Kagome threw on the miniskirt. She then applied some light makeup and ran down the stairs, not even bothering to stop to make her bed.
Kagome was panting when she reached the entrance room and she breathed heavily.
"Sango, what do you want?"
"Oh my gosh! Is that you Kagome? You look terrific!"
Kagome looked up at the familiar voice and let out a squeal. "Ayame! What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean, what am I doing here? Miroku invited me."
"You know Miroku?"
"He called me yesterday, saying that you were going to invite me somewhere, and that I should dress up nicely to meet you here at three o'clock."
"Miroku..." Kagome growled. "I did so not say that!"
"But... you want me here, right? If you don't then I'll go home..."
"No, Ayame! I want you here, but I just don't know what's going on. Where's Miroku and Sango?"
"Here we are!"
Sango and Miroku entered the room. They were smiling hugely.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, Kagome. Today's your one month anniversary."
"Er... it is?"
"Your one month anniversary of meeting us. And we're going to give you a choice. Either we go clubbing or we're going to go to a carnival."
"Carnival!" Both Ayame and Kagome chorused. They giggled.
Suddenly, InuYasha came down the stairs in a red shirt and black jeans. Following him was a bouncing Rin, and following her was a grumpy looking Sesshomaru.
Kagome giggled at the expression on Sesshomaru's face, while Ayame swooned.
"Wow... they are hot."
Kagome elbowed Ayame in the ribs and she giggled. Sango then opened the door and they all walked out. Sitting there, on the curb was a brand new limousine, that was sleek and shiny.
Kagome and Ayame 'ohhed'. Suddenly Koga appeared out of the driver's seat and held open the door for them to get in.
When Kagome tried to get in the car Ayame pulled her out and began whispering harshly into her ear.
"Who's that?"
"Who's who?"
"That dude with the nice muscles and the cute hair..."
Ayame trailed off while drool formed in her mouth. Sango beckoned to them from he limo and Kagome nodded.
"Come on, Ayame. It's only Koga."
"Such a dreamy name..."
And with that they were in the limo and on their way to the carnival.
As Kagome got out of the limo, Kagome stared in awe.
"Whoa..." Kagome and Ayame breathed at the same time. InuYasha grunted, Rin bounced, Sesshomaru rubbed his temples, and Sango and Miroku went to buy the tickets.
Suddenly Kagome was pinched. "Ow!" Ayame ignored that little outburst and pointed to the limo, where Koga was sitting, bored at the wheel.
"Isn't he coming with us?"
"I don't know... Well, he should. It's going to be a long wait for us. Ayame, go tell Sango and Miroku to buy one more ticket."
Ayame nodded and ran over to Miroku and Sango while Kagome enjoyed the view. there were lights everywhere and rides that looked like ten stories high. The sun was just setting and it was giving everything an ethereal glow. Kagome sighed in pleasure. She could just stand here all day and have fun even without riding the rides.
"Pretty, isn't it?"
Kagome turned around to see InuYasha leaning against the rail. He gave a small smile and Kagome grinned back.
"Yup, it's beautiful. Have you ever been here before?" Kagome turned back to look at the view.
"Nope. It's the first time that it has ever opened."
"Oh..." They stood there in silence until Sango and Miroku came up to them, with their tickets.
"Why the extra ticket?" Sango asked, handing Kagome two tickets.
"Oh, it's for Koga."
"For who?" InuYasha exclaimed.
"Koga. Dude who drove us here."
"Oh."
Ayame popped up near Kagome and grabbed the ticket. "I'll give it to him, and then we'll meet up with you somewhere inside of the carnival. Sounds ok?"
Kagome shrugged and the others nodded in agreement. Suddenly, and over hyper Sango jumped up.
"Come one! Let's go!"
When they were finally in the carnival they sat there for two minutes and then Kagome pointed.
"There!"
A mass of red hair was moving steadily towards them and Kagome grinned. Behind Ayame, Koga was being dragged. He didn't look to happy either until he saw Kagome.
"My woman!"
InuYasha glared at Koga and stepped closer to Kagome. Kagome shrugged and continued chatting with Sango. When Ayame finally got there, her face was flushed and she was grinning wildly.
"Come on, peoples! Lets go!"
Kagome laughed airily and Koga looked at her intensely. Kagome blushed at his lustful look and hid behind InuYasha. Suddenly, Sango's voice was heard.
"We're never going to get anywhere like this! Lets split up! We'll be able to cover more ground!"
"Yeah!" Kagome yelled back at Sango, who was quickly disappearing. "Meet all of you back at the limo at eleven!"
Sango nodded and let herself be pushed by the crowd with Miroku. They quickly vanished. Kagome turned to the other five people who were looking at her.
"So who's going to be my partner?"
Instantly InuYasha attached himself to Kagome while glaring at Koga, who had tried to make a move towards Kagome. Instead he was yanked back by Ayame. Rin hugged Sesshomaru's leg and grinned widely. Sesshomaru gave a small hint of a smile.
"Ok, lets go then!"
They separated and disappeared into the crowd.
Sango crossed her arms and scowled as she left Miroku behind. He was wincing and was clutching his cheek, which had a red handprint on it.
"Sango. Wait up!"
Sango felt tears forming in her eyes. Why can't he act normal for once? Why can't we just have a normal conversation and not have him grope me?
Miroku had caught up by this time and he turned to Sango. Instantly he became worried.
"Sango? What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong! You always grope me before we can actually have a decent conversation! Why can't you be like any other guy?"
Miroku stood there, shocked. "Sango... I'm sorry."
"No you're not. Every time you say that I believe you and then you touch me again and we're back to square one. I don't even know why I like you."
Miroku's breath caught at the last statement. He sighed and felt guilty at making her feel like this.
"Oh just forget it."
Sango started to walk away and Miroku wanted to hold her back... only he knew it was no use. There had to be some way to make her happy again. He would see to it.
Miroku looked to his left and saw a balloon popping booth. Leaning in closer, he saw the sign. 'Pop all the balloons and win this huge white stuffed teddy bear!'
Miroku grinned. Just what he needed...
Ayame pulled Koga and then sighed, frustrated.
"Just walk with me here!"
"But Kagome's the other way."
"You like Kagome?"
"Obviously."
Ayame's eyes filled with tears. Dammit, Kagome always have the guys. And what do I have? Nothing. Bullshit.
Koga looked closer at the girl and was alarmed to see her eyes filled to the brim with tears. He sighed and sat down. Suddenly the girl stood up. She stared down at him and her voice was filled with ice.
"Go ahead. Follow Kagome. I don't care anymore."
Koga was surprised. This girl had ass and pride. He instantly felt closer to her. Maybe he could like her...
"Wait... um girl!"
"You don't even know my name!"
Ayame screamed that last statement and started running. Koga slumped in his seat and buried his face in his hands. He had just made a girl run away. Forget Kagome, he was going to chase that girl... and ask her for her name. But first... maybe he should buy something to cool off her anger, before she bites his head off.
Koga looked next to him and saw a huge roller coaster ride. On a sign it read: 'Ages 16 and up only. Must have the stomach for this ride!'
Koga started grinning until he saw the price for the ride. Thirty freaking dollars per person? Oh well...
Koga stood up and began chasing the girl.
Kagome looked up at all the lights and then pointed to a stand.
"InuYasha, look! They're giving bunnies to the winners!"
"Well first you have to volunteer to get dunked in a water booth!"
"Oh."
InuYasha stared at Kagome's fallen face. He suddenly pointed to another stand where the stakes weren't so high.
"Maybe I can get you that big white teddy bear."
Kagome's fallen face suddenly filled with hope. "Really?"
"Sure."
InuYasha went over to the popping the balloons stand and handed the guy five dollars. Suddenly, he felt Kagome tug on his shirt.
"Look, Miroku's here."
"Hey... you're right. YO MIROKU!"
Kagome shook her head and smiled as Miroku walked over, but then noticed the hopeless look on his face.
"What's the matter?"
Miroku started muttering something and all Kagome heard was this: groping... she stalked off... wasted thirty bucks... can't get the teddy bear... can't find Sango...
InuYasha laughed. "Miroku, my man, I'll show you how it's done."
InuYasha easily popped all of the balloons and got the teddy bear. He handed it to Kagome, but then Kagome gave the teddy bear to a gaping Miroku.
"Kagome! What did you do that for? That was for you!"
Miroku, however, smiled and bounded off. "See ya Kagome, and thanks, InuYasha!"
Kagome turned to InuYasha. "You still need to get me something."
InuYasha fell down, anime style.
Miroku finally found Sango, who was sitting on a bench, and looked utterly miserable. She had her heads in her hands and was not paying attention to anything around her.
Miroku took this as an opportunity and placed the teddy bear gently on the seat next to her. She didn't notice. Slowly he crept behind her and then gently groped her butt.
He ducked before anything could hit his head, and then heard her gasp.
"OH MY GOSH!" Sango turned around to find a smiling Miroku. "You got this for me?"
Miroku nodded sheepishly. Sango then threw herself onto his arms and they hugged. All around them people cooed at the new couple. They both blushed and flew apart.
"Thanks, Miroku."
"No problem, Sango."
When Ayame had ran out of breath she slowed down, and let the tears fall. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. Thinking that they were going to pass her, she ignored it.
Koga finally caught up with her and panted hard. Damn, she was fast. He grabbed her shoulders and spun her around. He shoved the tickets into her face.
"Whirlwind of the Wolves." Ayame read the name of the ride aloud and then squealed. "How did you know I love wolves?"
"Um... I guessed?"
She hugged him and he breathed in her pine tree scent. All to soon, the hug ended.
"Come on, lets go on the ride!"
"Wait, tell me this first, what's your name?"
She smiled as she answered him. "Ayame."
Kagome laughed at InuYasha's reflection. He looked so fat and short. InuYasha smirked and pointed at her reflection and Kagome squeaked. Yup, you guessed it. They were in the Fun House.
InuYasha laughed again at her reflection. Her butt was big and her chest was small.
"I'm... going... to... pee... in..." In between words, Kagome laughed and soon, InuYasha was laughing. too.
All to soon, they were kicked out of the Fun House. InuYasha and Kagome simultaneously stuck out their tongues at the man and he laughed and stuck his tongue right back at them. Kagome chuckled as InuYasha balled up his fists.
Kagome pulled InuYasha away from the man and pulled him to the food stand. They got some funnel cakes (A/N: They are so good!) and walked around, eating it.
Suddenly they heard a splash. Kagome and InuYasha turned towards the sound and then choked on their food. Because, there in plain sight, was Sesshomaru, climbing out of a tub filled with water, and was soaking wet. Rin was right next to Sesshomaru, holding a bunny.
Kagome and InuYasha fell down on the ground and laughed. Sesshomaru walked up to them. In his cold voice he asked, "What?"
That only made Kagome and InuYasha laugh more. Rin was grinning proudly and stuck her tongue out at InuYasha.
"You're just jealous because Lord Sesshomaru is brave and you're not!"
"What? Jealous because he's wet and I'm not?"
Rin hid a little grin and Sesshomaru smiled as he grabbed Rin, making her wet. Rin squealed.
Suddenly, Sango, Miroku, Koga, and Ayame appeared.
"What?" Kagome asked as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "Time to go already?"
"Afraid so."
Kagome looked at InuYasha and was surprised to see that he was holding something out to her. She shook it out and realized it was a t-shirt... with something on it. Kagome read it aloud.
"I went to Carnival Vui and all I got was this sucky t-shirt."
Kagome's face turned livid. Sango's voice rang out through the silence.
"InuYasha you better run..."
Kagome chased InuYasha all the way back to the limo, and when Sango got there, she could see Kagome with a triumphant grin on her face, and InuYasha, on the ground, with ten lumps.
Putting her arm companionably around Kagome's shoulder, they both snorted (very unladylike) and said "Men."
Ending note: Believe it or not, I enjoyed writing this chapter and I hope you have enjoyed reading it! Also, I was going to put Kikyo in here, but I thought it would look to long, so Kikyo and Naraku will appear first thing, in the next chapter. Review please!
