Chapter 10: Carnival FunMiharu looked up at her alarm clock to see the digital numbers reading '8: 26'.
"Michiyo! Get up!" she yelled. "We're going to be late!"
Scrabbling to get ready, the girls drove up to Kagome's house at '9:03'
"Not bad," said Kuroda. "Only three minutes late." He smirked.
Both he and Naoki were standing at the bottom of the monstrous staircase leading up to the Higurashi Shrine. Naoki was wearing plain baggy faded jeans and a solid blue t-shirt. Kuroda was wearing blue jeans and maroon t-shirt.
"Good morning!" said Naoki as he came over to help Miharu out of the car. She was looking stunning in a short jean skirt and a cream colored top with embroidered brown cherry blossoms.
Giving her a kiss, she stepped out of convertible and walked over to give Kuroda a friendly hug. He returned it and walked over to help Michiyo, who was having trouble with something.
Walking up, he also gave her a kiss and swung her over the side of the vehicle. She was wearing semi-tight faded jeans and a sheen t-shirt that said "Don't say sorry. I hope you choke and die." on it, and looking gorgeous.
"Morning," she said. "Sorry we're a little behind. We kinda woke up late." She looked sideways at Miharu, smiling a bit as she saw her laughing at Naoki.
"SIT!" was heard, silencing everything followed by yelling.
Kagome appeared at the top of the stairs closing her eyes in frustration. She was soon followed by InuYasha looking cross.
"Hey guys," she said. "I hope you don't mind if InuYasha comes."
"Nah." They all said.
"Where are you going anyway." InuYasha said.
"For your information, we're going to the carnival." She glared at him, causing him to flinch.
"Let's go." She said.
Everyone piled into the little convertible and they began to drive away.
"What is this?" InuYasha asked. "It's going really fast!" He stuck his head out letting his ears flap in the wind.
They heard Kagome giggle a little. He did look a bit like a little puppy.
"This is a car." Kuroda tried to explain. "It's kind of like a horse, only it's not alive."
As the guys were having trouble trying to tell InuYasha what everything was, the girls were talking in the back.
"So what should we do first?" asked Miharu, who was applying some eyeliner.
"I want to get some curly fries." Said Michiyo. "It's a tradition for me."
Miharu joined in.
"Oh, and I want cotton candy!"
The girls continued to plan what they were going to do until Kuroda cut in.
"Sorry to interrupt this chat session, but we're here." he smiled.
"Oh!" All three of them looked up at the large rides, including the large
ferris wheel and roller coaster.
Rushing out of the car, Miharu, Michiyo, and Kagome
ran over into the line. The guys arrived soon after, talking amongst
themselves.
As soon as all of them were inside, they dispersed in separate directions.
Miharu and Naoki arrived at the roller coaster in the center to a line
that was, suprisingly, short.
"Naoki! Look at how short this line is!" she said gleefully. "Do you want
to go on?" she looked up at him happily. It was the same face she had on
the first night after they had rescued her from Naraku.
"Sure!" he said, laughing at her enthusiasm.
Holding onto his hand she half dragged him up the ramp and under the covered waiting area.
They arrived just as the coaster train pulled up, empting of all people.
Miharu and Naoki were the only ones in line. They chose to sit in the
front, and as they pulled away, the butterflies in Miharu's stomach were
fluttering wilder by the second.
As the train of cars jerked up the incline, Miharu began to grip Naoki's
hand tighter and tighter. Reaching the top, time seemed to stand still as
they went over the edge. That is, until they went plumitting down.
"AIEEE!" screamed Miharu as she latched herself tightly onto Naoki's
arm. The ride seemed over in a matter of seconds, and a wind-blown couple
stepped out of the roaller coaster laughing hard and holding each others
hand.
"What next?" asked Miharu.
"How 'bout the Ferris Wheel?" he suggested. "We could see what we wanted to do next from up there."
"Okay!" she smiled widely and let him lead her over to where the giant spinning wheel was standing.
With Michiyo and Kuroda, both were laughing loudly as they smashed into each other. They were at the bumper cars and having a grand old time.
"Ha!" yelled Michiyo. "Got you!" She was grinning wildly and driving away until Kuroda came up from behind her. He smashed his own car into hers and Michiyo went straight forward and screaming.
Meanwhile, Kagome and InuYasha were trying out some of the games.
"See InuYasha," Kagome was explaining. "This is called a baseball. You throw it at those milk bottles over there and try to hit them so they'll all fall down! If they fall down, you win a prize! Wanna go first?"
InuYasha eyed the baseball and then the milk bottles. "Feh…sure." He took the baseball from Kagome's hand and aimed at the milk bottles. Kagome paid the fee as InuYasha threw the ball with all his might and it smashed through, not only the milk bottles, but the tarp hanging at the back.
"Yes!" InuYasha cheered triumphantly as both Kagome and the man running the booth starred blankly.
"Uh…great job InuYasha," Kagome patted him lightly on the back as InuYasha claimed his prize. The man handed him a giant stuffed teddy bear and went over to pick up the broken glass from the milk bottles.
"Here," InuYasha said without caring, handing Kagome the stuffed bear. She took it and then looked up at InuYasha.
"For me?" she asked, her eyes shining as she hugged the bear tightly.
"Yeah. What would I do with a teddy bear?" InuYasha asked, starting to walk away. Kagome hurried to catch up with him, still clutching the giant bear tightly.
"Well…I don't know. I just thought it was…sweet of you to give him to me is all." Kagome smiled as InuYasha made a "psh" sound and they continued down the pathway.
It was getting dark so the group met up at the entrance and all crowded back into the convertible.
"You know what, it's such a nice night, I think we should all walk home!" Kagome suggested.
"But what about the car?" Michiyo asked. "We can't just leave it here."
"Oh, sure we can Michiyo! We'll just take the bus over here tomorrow and pick it up," Miharu put in brightly.
"Ok. Sounds good to me."
The group got out of the tiny car and started down the street. The stars were shining extraordinarily bright that night and all the girls were leaning against their guy. Miharu and Naoki were holding hands. Michiyo was linking arms with Kuroda. And even Kagome and InuYasha were snuggling, with Kagome resting her head on InuYasha's shoulder.
In fact, the night was almost too good to be true.
It was growing darker and darker. Kagome thought she kept hearing noises but InuYasha assured her it was just her imagination. The group turned a corner and suddenly a scream was heard. Miharu and Naoki gasped and separated to find the cause of the scream.
Kuroda realized Michiyo was no longer at his side and he ran to inform the others.
"InuYasha!" he shouted. "Michiyo's gone!"
"What?" Kagome said in surprise, glancing around in shock.
"I know, she was here a minute ago but when I looked around she was gone!" Kuroda fussed and now Naoki and Miharu were even listening.
"Michiyo's gone!" Miharu gasped in fear. "How? Where?"
"We don't know yet!" Kagome said. "But we have to find her. There's a good chance it was her who screamed! Maybe she was kidnapped?"
"No!" Miharu screamed, her eyes widening with fear. "We've got to find her! She never gave up on me when I was taken by Kagura! Come on!"
The group rounded the corner wonce more and began searching for some kind of clue as to where their companion may have gone. Suddenly, Kuroda shrieked., "Here!" They all faced him and saw he was waving a piece of torn paper. Miharu's face brightened instantly and she grabbed the paper from Kuroda. And then she began to read it aloud:
Dear friends of the girl,
I have captured your friend and if you would like to see her again, leave 4, 000 dollars
at the old schoolhouse on 25th avenue. I will havethe girl tied up in the the closet and she
will be waiting there for you. You have till sundown tomorrow evening.
The kidnapper
"Oh no!" Miharu cried. "What are we going to do!" Everyone looked at each other.
"What else?" Kagome grinned mischieveiously. "We're going to find her!"
