Chapter 5: The Moment We've Been Waiting For
Everyone was really excited as they chattered among themselves and waited for everyone to assemble. This was the whole reason they wanted to come to Anaheim. Not to perform, but to go to Disneyland. Kaede came at last and they went back out to the bus. Sango took a seat first. Miroku sat behind her, Kagome across the aisle, Kikyou behind Kagome, and Kouga in front of Kagome. Inuyasha was last. There was an empty seat behind Kikyou, but to be funny, he decided to squeeze into the same seat as Sango.
"No!" Sango yelled out. "You're supposed to sit there!" She pointed at the seat behind Kikyou.
"But I like it here better," Inuyasha smirked. "I get to sit next to Sango!"
Sango groaned and hit her head against the window. She would have to put up with this the whole time there. It didn't prove to be that bad. It was quite entertaining for them all actually.
They arrived in the Disneyland parking lot at last. Everyone gave Kaede their cell phone numbers for emergency purposes. Then the excited group all got out of the bus and piled into the line for boarding the tram to the actual Disneyland theme park. Kagome, Kikyou, Sango, and Kagura all sat in a row in the back.
All of them arrived at the main entrance and they were all excited. None of them could stand still.
"We're all going to California Adventure first. Then at 4 o'clock we're meeting under the Golden Gate Bridge and hop over to Disneyland TOGETHER," Kaede explained. "Mika's mom has all of your tickets."
A crowd began to surround Mika's mom. "But before you can get your tickets," Kaede's voice called out. "you need to come to be with your buddy."
Everyone groaned. "Buddies? We're in high school! We don't need buddies!" Sairo's irritated voice came out.
"It's for your own safety," Kaede informed.
Everyone slowly picked someone to be 'buddies' with. Kagome clung onto Kouga. Sango looked at Kikyou, and she had picked Kagura.
'Oh no… Please don't tell me she…' Sango turned her head to see Miroku standing next to her, without a buddy.
"Does everyone have a buddy?" Kaede asked the group. Sango and Miroku looked at each other awkwardly, and apparently, Kaede saw them. "You two, do you have a partner?"
They both shook their heads slowly. "Alright, then the two of you are buddies. Okay, everyone, you can now get your tickets from Mika's mom."
Sango couldn't believe it. She was paired with Miroku. 'Wow, this is a total coincidence… This wouldn't have happened though if Kikyou hadn't taken Kagura…' Everyone surrounded Mika's mom and she handed out the tickets to the anxious hands that awaited her.
The tickets were printed with different Disney characters on them. Sango had received one with Cinderella on it. Kagome had gotten Mickey Mouse, Kikyou had gotten Cinderella as well, Kagura got Tinkerbell, Kouga got Goofy, Inuyasha got Mickey Mouse, and Miroku had gotten Genie from Aladdin. Everyone fought to trade with Miroku, since they all liked the movie Aladdin. Kaede heard the commotion and told them specifically that there were to be no trading of tickets. It was only a ticket after all.
They entered the park together and waited for everyone else to assemble. Kaede reminded them that they would be meeting right at that spot, under the Golden Gate Bridge, at 4 o'clock, sharp. She emphasized the word 'sharp' and looked at Inuyasha and Myoga, who always had a tendency to be late.
