Let me resolve this small issue before I start the chapter. Yes I know that Hiei's confession was extremely blunt, but I'm horrid at sappy moments that don't contain actual romance. As you could plainly see. Well then on with the chapter!
A Dark Moon and A Red Rose
Chapter 7: Going to the Fair
It was mid-morning as Kagome danced around the kitchen finishing making breakfast. Once again Kagome had volunteered to make breakfast much to Yusuke's and Kawabara's fascination. Remembering last night Kagome briefly touched her lips before carrying the dishes of food out to the dinning room table.
Yusuke, Kawabara, Genkai, Hiei, Kurama, Yukina, Botan, Sango and Keiko were already at the table waiting for her. "Breakfast is served" grinned Kagome and set down the plates.
With that done Kagome took off her apron and sat down beside Kurama, he smiled at her sweetly and she blushed slightly. Keiko watched in amusement. "Haha, Kagome likes Kurama and vise-versa. Time for quest match making 101 to start" thought Keiko and looked at Sango and Hiei who were bickering.
"Bitch"
"Bastard"
"Woman"
"Men"
"Hn"
"Hmph"
"Hehe, also match making quest 202" thought Keiko. Yusuke looked at the grinning Keiko skeptically while chowing down on his breakfast.
"Hey, did you guys know that the fair is in town" chirped Yukina merrily. Yukina was extra happy today since she now knew who her brother was.
"Yah let's go" grinned Kawabara.
"This is going to be so fun" smiled Kagome. Kurama nodded and stood up. Everyone followed suit.
"But I want a change of clothes" whined Botan.
"It's alright you kids go ahead, I'm staying here" smiled Genkai.
"Thank you" smiled Yukina.
"How about we go in pairs to get a new change of clothes and then we'll meet at the fair," suggested Keiko, "I also think it should be a girl, boy pairing just incase!"
Kagome and Sango stared at Keiko as though she was crazy. "That would be such a waste of time" stated Sango.
"Actually I agree with Keiko" smiled Kurama. He once again looked at Kagome as her cheeks stained a pretty pink. Kagome nodded rapidly and smiled slightly.
"You guys are all against me," shouted Sango, pointing an accusing finger at Keiko, "I don't need any protecting from men!"
"Aw…Sango come on. I want to travel with Yusuke; Kagome wants to travel with Kurama…"
"Who ever said that?"
"…so you should also cooperate. Yukina can go with Kawabara since Yukina has her clothes here and Botan has direct portholes" shrugged Keiko.
"I agree," smiled Botan, "I'll even ask Koenma if he wants to come."
"Whatever" sighed Sango in defeat. Kagome nodded as well and grabbed Sango's and rushed out of the door. Hiei grunted as Kurama chuckled and raced after the two girls.
Keiko smiled and tugged on Yusuke's arm pulling him out of the temple and down the stairs.
About 30 minutes later everyone was once again gathered up at the entrance to the fair grounds. Instead of Genkai there was Koenma. Sango was wearing blue jeans and a red t-shirt, her hair was pulled up in a high pony tail and she was only wearing her magenta eye shadow like always. Kagome was wearing black jeans and a blue t-shirt, her hair was still down and she wasn't wearing any make up. Keiko was wearing white pants with a yellow t-shirt and a jean jacket, her hair was let down and she wasn't wearing any make up either. Botan was wearing blue jeans and a light purple t-shirt, her hair was tied up in a high pony tail and she wasn't wearing any make up. Yukina was wearing light blue pants and a white t-shirt, her hair was tied up like it usually was.
Yusuke was wearing his blue jeans and yellow t-shirt. Kawabara was wearing white pants and a white t-shirt. Hiei was wearing black jeans and a blue t-shirt. (He's just slightly taller then Sango in this ficcy) Kurama was wearing dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a red blazer (or whatever a wind breaker is). Koenma was wearing well…what does the Jr. King of hell wears I guess.
"Let's split up" smiled Keiko.
"Sure" shrugged Botan.
"I call Yusuke" smiled Keiko.
"Hey but he's my cousin" whined Kagome.
"Well tough luck, he's my boyfriend" grinned Keiko and walked with Yusuke in to the fair grounds. Kagome sighed heavily and turned around a bit.
"I'll be happy to escort you Kagome" smiled Kurama. Kagome blushed and nodded, Kurama took her hand and the two walked off.
"I'll go with Kazuma" grinned Yukina and took of with the monkey/idiot/guy with a queer but good heart.
"I'll go with Koenma" grinned Botan and tugged the toddler turned teenager behind her and into the grounds.
"Wait that means that…I'm STUCK WITH MR.EMOTIONLESS," cried Sango sitting on the ground. Hiei scoffed slightly. "Well that ain't gonna ruin my day come on." With that statement done Sango dragged Hiei into the fair grounds.
"What do you want to do first" asked Kurama politely.
"Well how about the log ride extreme" suggested Kagome.
"Well at least it's a hot day" sighed Kurama taking Kagome's hand again.
"Let's go on the drop of doom" smiled Keiko.
"Didn't know you were like that" grinned Yusuke.
"Well stop yapping and start walking" laughed Keiko and started pushing Yusuke forward from behind.
"Kazuma can we go on the Ferris wheel?" asked Yukina.
"Sure" shrugged Kawabara.
"Come on then!"
"Koenma that big teddy bear, can you get it?" asked Botan.
"Sure" nodded Koenma and picked up a ball and hit the target releasing the giant teddy bear that Botan caught.
"Thank you" chirped Botan.
"I popped the most balloons" boasted Sango.
"No I did" scoffed Hiei.
"No me" shouted Sango.
"Me" growled Hiei. While having the verbal argument the two fighter's faces got closer and closer till their lips touched. Sango blinked, and then Hiei blinked.
"Aiyeeeeeeeeeeee," squeaked Sango and fell backward on her butt. Standing up again she turned away from Hiei and lightly touched her lips, "wow" she thought.
Meanwhile Hiei's cheeks stained pink lightly, "wow" he thought.
