"Well, first thing's first! Let's hit the rollercoaster!"
"You sure about that, Kagome? Maybe we should start with something a little more calm," Yuki suggested.
"What's the matter, you scared?" Inuyasha said, mocking Yuki. Tohru looked down at her shoes.
"Well, actually, Inuyasha, I'm a little scared of them, myself..."
"Well, whatever. You're a girl, so you can be scared." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"I know, you and Kagome can go on the rollercoaster while Yuki and I have some cotton candy. Ok?" Yuki smirked at Inuyasha.
"Great idea, Honda-san," Yuki said offering his arm. "Let's go!" Kagome and Inuyasha were left by themselves wondering how their dates had managed to leave them during the first five minutes of their date.
"I guess I can put up with you for a few minutes," Inuyasha said to Kagome.
"How noble of you," Kagome replied sarcastically. "You have to be the rudest person I've ever met. What's with the attitude all the time? I can't believe that someone as Tohru would be friends with someone like you. There must be a good side of you that you hide from everyone else."
"Shut it."
"That's it! You're really just a big softy, aren't you, Inuyasha?" Kagome patted his head. Inuyasha stifled a growl. She sure enjoyed pushing his buttons and she knew just how to do it.
"Can't this line move any faster?" The boy scratched at his neck, adjusting the chain around his neck. Kagome leaned forward into Inuyasha's chest. "What are you doing!"
"Inuyasha! That jewel!" Protectively, Inuyasha clutched it towards his body. Kagome unbuttoned the top of her cardigan and pulled out her own necklace. "Look," she said. She took his hand and he reluctantly let go of the jewel. She took hold of his jewel.
"Hey! Easy!"
"Hold Still!" Kagome connected her jewel with Inuyasha's smaller one. It was a perfect fit. "Inuyasha...," Kagome started when a small, but strong, white glow began emanating from the jewels.
'What is this,' Inuyasha thought. 'This power. Could she really have another Shikon shard?'
"Kagome," He looked up into her eyes, which really, were only a couple of inches away. Both of them realized this and jumped apart immediately.
"You have part of the Shikon Jewel, Inuyasha!" He squinted at her.
"What could you know about the Shikon Jewel?"
"Not much, but according to my Grandpa, it's very mysterious and 'gives strength and power to those who posess it'. He's a priest, and a pretty superstitious one at that. It was a gift from him for my first day of school this year. I just thought it was really pretty. Where did you get yours?"
"My mom." Kagome nodded. Was Inuyasha a mama's boy? Kagome giggled thinking of the tough-as nails teen being ordered to clean his room.
"What's so funny?"
"Nevermind. Hey, Inuyasha, did you feel something when we put our shards together? There was some kind of weird energy coming from it."
"Are you coming on to me? Cuz you're just not my type."
"Yeah right! Don't you wish!"
"I did. I felt it." Inuyasha looked off into the distance.
"I wonder what it means. I'll have to ask Grandpa about it. Mysterious, huh?"
"Looks like we're up," he said, looking at the cars in front of them. "So, you really like these things?"
"Love 'em! I feel like I'm flying." They sat down in the two-person car and pulled the lap-bar down. The ride began, slowly clackng its way up the first and steepest slope.
"Since when are you quiet? Don't tell me that the daring Kagome is getting scared all of a sudden." She shut her eyes.
"I'm not scared...I was just thinking." Clack Clack Clack
"Yeah, sure." They had reached the top. "Why don't you try opening your eyes then?" Kagome opened her eyes just as the coaster
began its drop and let out the most blood-curdling scream that Inuyasha had heard in his entire life. Instinctively, Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders,
pulling her close to him. When they reached the bottom, Kagome's scream had turned into a laugh and she threw her hands up. Inuyasha let go.
"You're a weird girl. You sounded like you were dying and now you're laughing."
"I never said I didn't scream! That's half the fun. You should-Oh my god! EEeeee!" This time, Kagome was the one to attach
herself to Inuyasha.
When the ride was over Yuki met them at the exit. They were still bickering, but something seemed different. They almost seemed like
they were having a good time. Tohru ran over to them.
"I have a present for you two!" Tohru handed them each a photo. "They take these while you're going down the first drop. Kagome and Inuyasha both blushed when they saw the picture of Inuyasha holding a frightened looking Kagome.
"Stupid girl wouldn't stop her screaming!" Inuyasha tried to explain.
"I never asked you to grab onto me! I think you were the one who was scared!" Kagome pointed an accusing finger at Inuyasha.
"I wasn't the one shrieking like some kind of wuss."
"I think it's a cute picture," Tohru said. She and Yuki smiled at them.
"Keh!" Inuyasha said, and put the picture in his pocket.
