This is SilverWolf-Ryuki. Hope you enjoy the chapter… and I hope it is good enough for our 'records'. I apologize for the long update wait, and we've probably lost all our readers. But Dark Lavender is currently stuck under an avalanche of homework, and I'm trying my best to get a pass on my 'midterm progress reports'. So… time is scarce. But we hope you like this. Or at least I hope.

Before long, Rin and Kohaku had disappeared, much to Sango and Sesshoumaru's un-amused disdain, and Inuyasha's annoyance. After all, why are these high school kids going off by themselves, when he could be, with Kagome?
Inuyasha cursed. I did not just think that.
And while Inuyasha mumbled and cursed to his own wandering thoughts, Sango was doing the usual slapping of Miroku. Of course, he had an excuse. Something about mistaking her butt for a balloon, which, aside from Sango's humiliation, raised the curious question of…
Why would Miroku caress a balloon?
Kouga on the other hand, was getting excited. Especially of those dunking game – he'll get Inuyasha. Oh, yes he will. Kouga grinned wolfishly to himself. He was so caught up that he didn't notice everyone else staring at him, and his freaky grin.
However, none of them were too occupied to notice a streak of red hair.
"Well, here we go." Sesshoumaru looked dull. "Three… two… one…"
"KOUKOU!"
"Great timing," Kagura remarked, while nearly everyone else nodded in agreement.
"A-Ayame!" Kouga spluttered. "I thought you had an interview."
Ayame sniffled. "I know. I did. But then I thought, why leave Kouga with all these pretty people, having fun, when I can go with them? Who cares about the double salary? I haven't even graduated yet. I'll look for a job when I do, but for now, I'll keep work with Kag-chan and see you guys almost every day!"
"And that's a good thing?" Inuyasha whispered to Miroku.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku looked agape. "How dare you be so rude!" He crossed his arms. "Well, of course… it's a thing… that not many of us are very happy with."
"And that's less rude?"
"Inuyasha, you have much to learn." Miroku shook his head. "You can begin by calling me Miroku-senpai, though." He narrowed his eyes and gave a frighteningly lecherous smirk. "At least to impress the ladies."
Inuyasha took a step backwards. "You are a freak."
"That's freak-sama to you."
Meanwhile,
"Oh, Ayame, that's great!" Kagome beamed. "I was afraid that I would have to hire someone new! It is, after all, impossible to replace you."
"I know," Ayame rolled her eyes, jokingly, before smiling sincerely and hugging Kouga's arm tighter. "Thank you, Kagome."
"Touching." Sesshoumaru remarked, the word blank and meaningless. "Can we please stop standing at the entrance and actually get into the carnival?"
It was then they all realized they were lined up, almost in a perfectly straight horizontal line, at the very entrance of the carnival, causing a large queue just beyond the front gate.
"You know, we can be very organized if we wanted to." Sango said thoughtfully.
"Who knew," Kagome nodded in agreement.

A classic first in a carnival is to go on the merry-go-round.
It was just like the good years of being 5, stupid and as innocent as a 5-year-old gets. Except for when Ayame jumped on Kouga's lap in ecstasy at such a romantic event and they broke one of the curly-haired ponies.
"I'm sure they're very sorry." Sesshoumaru said smartly, shaking the manager's hand.
The manager looked as if in shock. "Oh, yes, nothing to worry about. Of course, I'm sure it was an accident, no need to cause fuss, right?" He gave a string of forced laughter before retreating and waving merrily.
"What's that guy on?" Sango said in a very Kagura-like way.
"A thousand dollars." Sesshoumaru answered, sighing in an almost exasperated way. "Why am I always the one who ends up paying for the repairing of everything?"
"Because you're the only one with that kind of money." Inuyasha smirked, mildly resembling Sesshoumaru. "Brother."
"Maybe you should stop breaking expensive stuff, then?" Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow, not amused.
Inuyasha froze for a few moments. "Damn… how the hell do you go on with that kind of 'oh Yeah, I'm better than you! Blah, Blah… you suck… I'm cold and heartless and I have filthy amounts of money, and you're stupid, and I'm the only one smart, and you're my freaking younger broooother… and…"
He didn't realize he was being ignored as he babbled on, imitating Sesshoumaru with a squeaky kind of mock.
