As promised, the second chapter for today, and definitely the last. I only have two new pre-typed chapters in escrow, and it seems that if I post em all at once, I get less reviews. So sorry, but I'm going to try to keep it to one a day, though after the next two, I can't make any promises past two or three updates a week on the whole list of stories. So enjoy while you can...

Inuyasha led the way to the amphitheater for a while, but Sesshoumaru eventually told him to climb onto his back so that they could hover on his cloud. Halfway there, Sesshoumaru was fidgeting and Inuyasha could tell he was stressed as he rolled his shoulders and neck.

"Hey, did you pull somethin' back there?" the hanyou asked roughly.

"It is nothing to worry about, I told you!" Sesshoumaru snapped.

"Okay, sheesh!"

The youthful youkai gave an inward groan. He really didn't feel so great, but he didn't want to ruin his brother's or Kagome's time in her world. He knew that they needed to patch things up. But he couldn't quite define his ill feeling.

No, that was a lie. He felt the same way he felt prior to a transformation.

"Inuyasha…I…"

What will I say? No, it is best to keep it to myself. Perhaps I am just preparing to transform in my time when we go back…

With a sigh, he concentrated on his task.

Within minutes, the three of them were back together.

"So, what did you do while that concert went on?" Kagome asked cheerily as they hovered over the sky on Sesshoumaru's cloud.

"Nothin'. Sesshoumaru just did the asshole's shuffle and lead me on a chase for a while, then we went on the bumper cars," Inuyasha said nonchalantly.

"Is this true, Sesshoumaru?" the young priestess chided.

"Hai…I just did not want to…"

He slid into a state of half consciousness for a series of seconds before coming to his senses. In that time, the cloud wavered dangerously.

"Sesshoumaru, get a grip!" Inuyasha said, punching his brother in the arm.

"…What was I saying?" Sesshoumaru wondered.

"You were telling me why you sent Inuyasha on a wild goosechase," Kagome reminded him carefully. She looked to the ground. "Are you okay?"

Sesshoumaru nodded.

My head is aching fit to burst…

"I am perfectly fine, Kagome. I just did not wish to speak to Inuyasha at the moment. He was being…insufferable…but it is in no way his fault. You know that given my past actions, it is a requited feeling."

"That may be so…but I can't help but feel…"

"Do not trouble yourself. I was acting very rashly to run from him."

"…Well…okay."

Kagome kept her eyes to the ground.

"Um…can we go back down? I suddenly feel sort of airsick…"

"I know. You no longer trust me because of my momentary lapse," the taiyoukai replied knowingly.

"Oh no, it's not that!" Kagome cried in alarm. "I trust you just as much as Inuyasha!"

Sesshoumaru brought his cloud to the ground. He stumbled a bit, feeling even more ill.

"Are you absolutely sure…"

"Just a little dizzy…" he mumbled. "So where to?"

"The Extasy, if you're up to it," Kagome replied.

I want her to be happy…

"Which one is the Extasy?"

"That one."

Kagome pointed to a ride which was currently spinning very quickly in an inverted position.

"Shall we?" he said stoically. Oh, shit.

After the ride came to it's normal position, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru took their place. Luckily, there were three areas in each of the four sections on the ride.

Unluckily, there was two seats to each area. Of course, Kagome and Inuyasha sat with each other. Sesshoumaru sat by himself across from them.

His tail quivered as his long legs lost grip to the ground and the ride began to spin. Faster and faster it spun, making him dizzy like no tomorrow! And just when he though it could not get any worse, the ride began to lift to a horizontal position, then a vertical one, never pausing in its spin.

This just gets better and better…he thought distantly. If he were in optimum health, this would be giving him the thrill of his life and he knew it. But at this moment, all the inverted, pressurized ride was doing was increasing his vertigo.

Kagome and Inuyasha screamed in delight as the ride sped up and finally started resettling to the ground. They got off of it and exited.

"Whoo! That was fun, wasn't it, guys?"

"You said it, Kagome!" Inuyasha said brightly.

"It was…okay…" Sesshoumaru murmured, head pounding.

"Then let's get to the roller coaster. That's even better."

"Hey, isn't that the long snake thing on tracks?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah. We have one here modeled after the 'Dueling Dragons' coaster in America. It's brand new, and I've been dying to ride it. Wanna come with?"

"Let's do it!" the Inu bros. said.

The line for the coaster was a thirty minute long wait, but for Kagome and Inuyasha, it seemed worth the wait. They got into the seat, with Sesshoumaru squashed to the left, and when they were comfy, the floor dropped out beneath them.

Why me? Thought Sesshoumaru.

The coaster took a gentle coast upwards to the top of the highest hill.

"Oh, boy," Kagome squealed as they reached the top and paused. "This is it! And we're in the front, too!"

Don't remind me.

Suddenly, with a roar, the coaster took it's course down the track.

Straight, then a sharp turn! The ride took them on a loop which instantly turned a very tight twist. Then the two separate coasters which wound into each other finally met at a point.

"Oh Kami! We're going to crash!" Inuyasha growled. "Hold on, Kagome, I'll protect you!"
The coasters missed each other by inches.

"Whee-hoo!" yelled Kagome.

"Uh-oh," groaned Sesshoumaru. He had a weird taste in his mouth and his head was throbbing very badly.

The coaster took a huge loop-de-loop, then when the second loop ended, it branched into a third, impossible looking loop that barely looked as if the cars would squeeze past.

The coasters met two more times, then the ride came to an end.

Sesshoumaru very quickly asked to be directed to a bathroom, though he hid his sickness very well.

"There's one over there," said the young miko. She knew he meant it when he said he had to go, even if she didn't know his exact business. (Reread ch. 3, I think it is, if you don't know what I mean).

Sesshoumaru bolted into the nearest empty stall and hurled for all he was worth. His stomach clenched into a knot, but he had nothing to give after a minute or so, so he left with that same knot and a horrible aching in it to boot.

"There's one more ride."

"Which one…? Does it involve defying gravity and the laws of physics?"

"No. It's just the Ferris wheel."

Sorry for the slight cliffy. R & R please!
