Oscar Meigher Weiner. : we don't own Inuyasha . . . *^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Kagome woke up very exited on the day of the festival. For the past couple of days she had seen people setting up booths and rides. And the day before her fighting and archery class had been cancelled because they needed to set up.

Moving quickly because the days had grown very cold over the weeks, she found her uniform for the day. They had all gotten a message from Salma say that they didn't have to wear their uniform but something proper for these competitions.

She pulled on a small dark green skirt and white sleeveless turtleneck. (They exist I swear!!) Shivering she pulled on her tall block boots and grabbed her black Velvet cloak before running out of her room.

Slipping on the ice told her how cold it was getting.

Kagome sat down at her usual table with her usual bagel and saw Naraku sitting looking depressed.

"wuph fup?" she said through a mouthful of bagel.

"Nothing" he said looking down at his shoes, he looked up at Kagome's worried face. He told her about Samantha.

"Oh . . .I'm sorry . . ." Kagome said as she tried not to laugh. "but you will find a girlfriend!!"

"Really!"

"Yea really"

"So you will go out with me!!"

Kagome dumped OJ on his head and stormed out of the room. * Sango stretched her arms back In the locker room. Rin had convinced her to fight in the competition. Sighed as she stood up, she looked at the wipe off bored that was on the wall.

The challenge consisted of fighting eight people. If she beat the first guy, some guy named Hiten, she would fight again in an hour.

A Girl with a clip bored walked into the room and called her name.

Sango nervously stood up and walked to the door. Some of the girls wished her luck, while others glared at her.

*

"Is she next?" Said Rin as she stood up trying to look at the door. Her questions were answered when she saw her roommate come out one door, and a guy with black hair come out another.

Sango looked up at the crowd. Her eyes were drawn to a giant poster that said KICK SOME ASS SANGO!!!!! But the ass had been crossed out and butt was written under it.

"WE BEGIN TODAY WITH A MATCH WITH SANGO AGAINST HITEN!! THE WINNER GOES ON TO THE NEXT CHALLENGE!" boomed over the loud speaker.

She looked at her opponent. He was a bit taller than her with feudal style clothes. His dark hair was pulled back and he was grinning, in his right hand he was holding a large spear that seemed to be sparking.

"GO BROTHER" Shouted a guy from the stands. Hiten gave him the thumbs up and prepared to fight.

"START!"

The fight didn't last long. Sango wasn't quite prepared to fight a demon as strong as him but she gave a few good hits before he knocked her out and cut her.

Salma had told them the day before that the only was to defeat an opponent was to draw blood. The first one to do that would win.

Sango woke up a couple min. later with a small cut on her left cheek. She glanced around the room and saw she was in the clinic. She also saw Miroku sitting on a bench watching her.

"Did I . . .lose?" she said hoarsely

Nod nod

Sango was disappointed but she tried not to show it. She got up from her bed, pulled on her boots and left the room with Miroku in tow.

She casually walked into the arena and saw every one sitting watching the match. "Good job!! You did well!!" said Kagome cheerfully as Sango sat down. "You did better than what I would have done!!" "Were is Sesshomaru?" Sango said as she realized they were short one person. Rin grinned and pointed. In the arena was Sesshomaru and Hiten, who was trying to avoid a light green whip that was nicking his heals. Sesshomaru smirked when he saw an opening and cracked the whip.

Hiten felt some thing hit his hand and felt pain.

Rin cheered! Sesshomaru had won!

*

They all walked around and talked. They saw Naraku hitting on some girl who dumped her soda on him and walked away.

Kagome screamed happily as they walked into a clearing. Inuyasha jumped back at the noise and dropped his funnel cake. Glaring at Kagome he saw her run up to a dunking booth.

"Oh come on!! Don't try to dump me!!" pleaded Kikyo from her little stool. "Do you know how cold it is in here, its November for petes sake!!"

Kagome laughed wickedly and bought five balls.

Miroku found this to good of an opportunity. Kikyo was wearing a white t- shirt! He also bought five balls.

Several bucks later a very mad kikyo came up from the water.

*

After they got tired of watching kikyo fall into a bucket of water, Sesshomaru caught up with them."Hey!! . . . were is Rin?"

Kagome looked at the worried boyfriend "she said she was going to wait for you, out side the locker room"

Sesshomaru looked scared for a minuet but it flashed away fast. He walked back to the stadium locker rooms looking tense. Kagome sighed and glanced at her watch

"Holy Fric!!! I got ten min before archery!!!!" She said as she ran past them.

*

Kagome Drew her arrow and glanced at the target before letting it go. Like most times when she fired it went true and hit perfectly.

Sango and Sesshomaru cheered as she walked back and let the next guy fire. Sesshomaru leaned toward Inuyasha. "You are lucky to have a girl like that" Inuyasha

"She is not my girl!" Inuyasha Grumbled as he watched the boy get nowhere near Kagome's arrow.

"Really! You are more than that!" He said Looking at his brother with an interested grin. "My talk with you must have paid off!"

"She is nothing more than a friend to me!" He said as he glared at his brother. "And you should shut up! You precious Rin loves you so much and didn't even watch you in your last challenge!"

Inuyasha suddenly regretted saying that as his brother looked away, apparently hurt. "she was busy . . ."

*

Miroku Concentrated hard on what he was doing, if he brought his thoughts to anything else, it would be over.

Kagome munched on some cotton candy as she watched Miroku sit there, a bucket of water was hovering over his head. Yawning she looked at her watch, it was only 11:30. Good gravy we have been here 20 min already . . .

"is it me or is this really boring!!" She whispered to Sango who nodded.

"he just has to break concentration . . .and he is all wet . . ." Sango said with an evil grin.

She grabbed Kagome's hand. "This is perfect!!!" she whispered excitedly

Kagome was confused. Sango Winked and stood up. "BOOB!!!" She screamed over the crowd

Miroku Instantly looked up from his concentration and then felt very cold water hit his head . . . followed by a bucket. The whole stadium erupted with laughter as Miroku stood up very red and wet.

"What is going on?" Said Yuna as she and her sister walked up with Kouga. Kagome, still laughing, explained what had happened as they walked out to meet Miroku outside the locker room. Sesshomaru said he had another challenge that he had to go to and left..

"Really lady Sango I didn't know that you loved me so!!" Said Miroku sarcastically as he walked out, dressed in his normal clothes. His hand wandered to her backside. Sango huffed and walked away with Kagome in tow.

"Does he really think that is why I did that!!" She said as she stomped inline for a snow cone. "I did it to make him look bad for all the times he grabbed my butt!! I swear some guys are-strawberry please- are so stupid I could scream!!"

She sat down on a bunch with her snow cone. Kouga and the twins walked by, also eating snow cones.

"What did you guys compete in?" Said Kagome as they sat down on the bench too.

"Me and Yuna" said Yuki "competed in a challenge against each other but we go disqualified.. .. We didn't stop when we were told to" Kagome laughed as she heard the story her friends told about their fight.

"okay!!!! We haven't ridden any rides yet!!!" Kagome squealed.

*

Sango was feeling a bit ill. She wasn't very fond of the egg scrambler. "is it over yet???" she begged at Kagome who looked really happy!!

"WEEEEEEEE!!!" Kagome shouted as they got jerked to another side. Soon, to Sango's relief, the ride slowed down to a stop were they all got off.As she tried to regain her balance Inuyasha ran up to them.

"It's the final challenge!! Sesshomaru is competing!!!" He said as he ran back to the stadium . . .every one in tow. (Every one but Sango who staggered behind)

*

Sesshomaru checked his armor once again before he stepped into the waiting room. He had made it through all eight of the challenges so he was one of the strongest. He got to the door and waited for it to open so he could begin to fight.

Finally they opened and he walked in. The crowd was much bigger than the other challenges so far. He even saw people from the village had come to watch. He looked to his left, at his challenger, and gasped.

It Was Rin.

*

Kagome sat down Next to Inuyasha we came just in time!! It's starting!! She then stared at who Sesshomaru's opponent was.

"Hey . . .I found Rin"

*

Sesshomaru gaped at her. She just looked at him as if it were completely normal. She took his hand and walked into the room. The load speaker was saying some thing but Sesshomaru wasn't listening. He walked to his starting point and faced her again.

"Don't you go easy on me!!" She said with a wink.

Sesshomaru gawped at her. "So this is wear you have been hiding all day!"

She was wearing a variation of her Uniform; it was the same style just pink and white. She also had her hair up with a dried Sakura blossom tucked into her bun.. She has hardly any armor . . .i must be careful!

He pulled himself into fighting pose and drew his whip.

Rin bent forward and lifted the blossom out of her hair. Concentrating very hard, her hand began to glow pink. Sesshomaru stood in amazement as the blossom began to grow. The stem lengthened and the petal's extended and hardened until the glistened like razors. After a second she stood and in her hand, was a pink and green pike. (Em: okay I must explain what a pike is for the people who don't know. A pike is like a giant spear. They were first used in battle to stab through a horse and knock a rider off. But they can also be used in fighting!!!)

Kagome was in shock. She had always thought of Rin to be a soft and gentle, slightly wimpy person. But Rin was up there about to fight her boy friend . . . her boyfriend!! How is Sesshomaru going to take this!!!

Sesshomaru didn't know how to take it.. Should I fight her fair like she asked!! . . .no I could hurt her . . . but she would be mad!!! I could make it look like she won!! Cut myself!! . . . she is only human!! I could really hurt her badly . . .grrr . . .arrrrrrg!!!!! With out any warning he just charged forward.

Rin seamed prepared enough and jumped into the air and landed on Sesshomaru's back. He had not expected this! She then took her pike in her other hand and swung it down. But Sesshomaru saw it coming.

Demon like reflexes are great!!! . . . Unless you dump some on across the room . . .and that some one is your girlfriend . . . and they look like they are hurt . . . shit!! Sesshomaru ran to the limp form, ten feet from were it had started. She groaned and tried to get up. Sesshy nervously bent down.

WAM!

Next this he knew he was on his bottom with a pike to his neck. He looked up and Rin's 'mad/crazy' expression . . . and lost it.

*

"What is so funny?" Said Kouga from the stands.

Inuyasha just shrugged. He Brother was laughing like mad and rolling on the floor. Rin Clearly looked confused . . .and then . . .she lost it too. Kagome just stared at the two figures rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter.

*

"Oh hee hee you look so hee hee funny!!" Said Sesshomaru through gasps of air.

Rin fell into his lap, tears rolling down her face as she laughed. "tisk tisk! Ha ha that's not a nice thing to say to me!! Hee hee"

"why? . ..bwa ha haha . .hee hee"

"hee hee because I'm going to win!" With that Rin placed the end of her pike on Sesshomaru's nose. A second later a droplet of blood was on his white skin.

"AND THE WINNER IS RIN!!!! THOUGH I DON"T SEE WHAT WAS SO FUNNY!"

*

At the awards ceremony Rin Received her medal for wining the challenges and Kagome got a much smaller award for wining the archery.

And in a small corner of the school grounds kikyo couldn't get off her stool
