Chapter 3:Festival fun

It was getting dark by the time Sakai and Yoshida reached the festival. The sky had turned to a beautiful shade of orange and the full moon was becoming more visible in the clear sky that night on the festival. A light warm breeze has began too blow, making the Cherry Blossom trees sway. There were stalls after stalls, side-by-side with at least a dozen people at each one. All the people were dressed in nice looking yukatas, all different colours and designs. Between the stalls there were giant banners of different colours and sizes and different designs. There were tons of people at the festival, all with smiles of joy on their face. Lantern after Lanterns hung before them. Golden birds were standing tall, looking graciously at the sky, like they were going to lift-off any second from now. Loud music was playing and many people were dancing in the center of the festival, where the river was. The first things Sakai did when he and Yoshida got there was look for the stall with the candy apples, but there were too many people blocking his view. Yoshida immediately noticed his desperate attempted to find the candy apple stall and got worried.

"What's wrong Sakai-kun?" Yoshida asked while admiring the scenery.

"Nothing…" Sakai lied, still desperately searching for the stall that had the candy apple. 'Where could it be?' Sakai thought. Then he saw it, it was hidden behind dozens of people that have just moved after getting their hare of the apples, hopefully they had saved enough for those two. "There it is!" Sakai exclaimed after he found the stall. "Yoshida-san, come with me please" said Sakai as he signaled Yoshida too follow.

Yoshida nodded and followed him down the stall-full road. It was hard to keep up as there were a lot of people blocking her view every step she took. At last she found Sakai at a stall. She looked up at the banner that hung at the top of the stall too see what stall it could be. "Candy Apples", that's what the banner said. After Yoshida had looked down to see if Sakai was done yet, she was greeted by a candy apple that was centimeters from colliding with her face. She gasped and took a step back, avoiding any contact with the red, sticky concoction.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" said a smiling Sakai, still holding out the red candy apple. "It's really good, trust me. I always bought one when I came with my parents when I was younger." And at those words Yoshida took the candy apple and took a small bite of it. 'He was right, it is good' thought Yoshida as she took another bite, bigger this time. Sakai also took a bite, a big bite, which covered his mouth with the sticky candy. Yoshida laughed when she saw that his mouth was dirty, which made Sakai embarrassed. His cheeks were going red, which made Yoshida feel bad for making Sakai embarrassed so she offered him a napkin which Sakai took and wiped his mouth with. "Thank you" Sakai said.

"Oh, um, no problem…um, sorry for making you feel embarrassed a moment ago" Yoshida said in a quiet, shy voice.

"It's okay, thanks for telling me I had stuff on my face…indirectly." Sakai said jokingly.

While they were eating there candy apple, they started to walk towards the center of the festival, where all the dancing and music came from. Along the way they met Sakai's mom who was in a pink yukata with flowers on it... "Hi mom" Sakai said.

"Oh, hi Yu-chan. eating a candy apple I see. Um…did you see Yukari-san anywhere by any chance? I wanted to go with her but she left for the festival already." Said Chigusa. She was about to mention Ike-kun but decided not too as it might not make Sakai unhappy. "Hi Yoshida-san, are you and Sakai going out together for the festival?" asked her mom instead, making Yoshida slightly blush.

"Um….yea…I am." Yoshida replied blushing more.

"Mom, were going to the center of the festival to have some fun. We'll tell you f we see Sha-…I mean Yukari-san" Sakai said relieved he didn't say Shana.

"Okay Yu-chan, have fun." As his mom walked away. 'Hmm…my mom acted strange…kinda' Sakai thought 'oh well maybe it was my imagination'. So he and Yoshida walked while eating their candy apple and talking together.

It was dark when Ike and Shana arrived at the festival. The night was pitch black and a full moon has replaced the sun, glowing a bright white light towards the Earth. "Ahh, we finally arrived" said Ike while he held Shana's hands, pulling her closer to the stalls of the festival. "So what do you want to do first Yukari-san?" asked Ike.

"Well…Sakai told me to try a candy apple so…"but before she finished her sentence Ike pulled her painfully hard on her arm, making her walk to the stall where they had the candy apples. Shana rubbed her arms making Ike apologize what of he did. "Hehe…sorry, I just wanted to make this one of the best nights." And at those words, Shana glared at Ike. "Hey! Don't get anything wrong here! I just wanna have fun hehehe" Ike said smiling.

"You better have or you'll be very sorry" Shana warned still glaring at Ike. So they went off to buy a candy apple. Shana was the first to take a bite off the apple. 'dang this is sweet, its sooo good' Shana thought while she took another bite, which left her with left then a half of the apple left. 'Wow Yukari-san sure eats fast' Ike said while he took a small bite. After they were finished eating, Ike decided to go to the center of the festival to dance a bit. "Hey Shana, you wanna dance? It'll fun!" ask Ike.

"Sure. But you better not do anything funny Ike-kun. Or im gonna kick you're a-..." but before Shana could finish her sentence, Shana heard a familiar voice call her.

"Yukari-san!" Cried Chisuga, panting. "I finally found you two! Having a lot of fun?"

"Yup!" replied Ike.

"Not really" disagreed Shana.

"We are going to the center of the festival to dance. Want to come?" asked Ike.

"Sure I do!" replied Chigusa in a somewhat cheery voice.

So there they went, walking together to the center of the festival to dance. After they arrived, they listened the music the flute played. After a few seconds of listening, they joined and the crowd and danced. Shana, however did not dance. She was distracted by a figure that looked strangely like Sakai. She began running after it but got pulled back from behind by Ike. "What's the big idea jerk?" Shana yelled out.

"C'mon, let's dance together" replied Ike, dancing. But Shana did not start to dance. Instead she made up an excuse to go find out if that really was Sakai or not. "Um…Ike-kun, I got too…see…if I know one of the people who are playing the flute." Shana lied. "Um… sure, go ahead" replied Ike.

So Shana ran to the spot where Shana thought she thought she saw Sakai but he wasn't there anymore. Boom went a firework as it exploded in to many pretty colours. "The fireworks are starting!" exclaimed Chigusa. "I know a much better spot where we can see a clearer view of it!" Chigusa said as she dragged Ike and Shana up a hill where the fireworks seem to go up as high as. "Wow!" exclaimed Shana. She had never seen anything so pretty before. But when she looked in front of her, there she saw Sakai and Yoshida with her head on his shoulder. "Sakai-…kun" She muttered to herself. Chigusa and Ike hadn't noticed him because they were still looking at the fireworks in awe.

Sakai was dancing with Yoshida once they arrived in the center of the festival. Yoshida wish this moment would never end. She was standing there dancing with Sakai. But however it did end. A hand grabbed her shoulder from behind which startled her somewhat. "Yoshida-san, the fireworks are starting soon, I know a perfect spot where we can see them" Sakai said as he started to hold Yoshida's hand and start running. They ran too a high hill where they saw the festival clearly from atop. Then a fireworks exploded before there eyes. Boom went a firework as it exploded deferent colors in the sky. Slow and gradually, Yoshida lowered her head close to Sakai's right shoulder and gently placed her head there. Sakai look to his right alarmed from the sudden weight that had landed there, he saw Yoshida's head there and smiled, still looking at the fireworks in awe.

Yoshida never wanted to lift her head off Sakai's shoulder but did. All of a sudden she heard a loud call from behind her.

"SAKAI YUJI!" Cried Shana's extremely loud voice. Sakai turned around too see who that was but was greeted by Shana's scary looking eyes, Ike beside her and his mom. . "Sha-Shana?...and…Ike-kun? Together?" asked Sakai. Shana started to run towards Sakai but was stopped by Yoshida.

"Get away form him you cheater!" yelled Yoshida.

"Why should I?" Replied Shana.

"It's because…it's because…YOU LOVE SAKAI YUJI!" Yoshida yelled after she thought of nothing else to say.

"Wha…what?...you do…?" said Sakai confused of what he just heard.

"I…I do not!" replied Shana. "I don't love him! He's just…he's just…" Shana began too say but was cut off by Yoshida.

"You love him don't you? You haven't confessed to him have you?" Yoshida said, forgotten about Sakai's presence. "Well…tell him already!"

Shana was beginning too get angry. She was getting angrier and angier every second until she started to run towards Yoshida, trying too get any type of physical contact with her. But then a hand reached out just in time before Shana could do anything. "That enough" said Sakai, surprised by her actions. "I don't care if you love me or not. But I can't allow you to hurt Yoshida-san. She's with me tonight, so I can't let you hurt her." Said Sakai as he put a protective arm around Yoshida and began too walk away. Boom went another colourful firework. Shana couldn't take it anymore; she was angry, but sad at the same time. "Sakai….why…" were Shana last words before tears started to stream down her eyes. She pulled on the hair tie that tied her hair tighter and made her hair fall into its normal position, straight hair, and began to run as fast as she can. She didn't know where but anywhere would be better then here.

"Yukari-san, Wait up!" Ike called after her, but she wasn't listening so he ran after her.

"Oh my" Chigusa said worried about them. Boom went the last firework before everything was silent again and all you heard was the clapping and laughter of the people down below.
