AN: Here is Chapter 10! I apologize for the long pause, though I did enjoy making my readers suffer!!! Bwahahahaha!!!!! No actually, what really happened was that after I got back (legs hurted like a rampage of cows went over them) I got a fever. 104 degrees Faerineheit, or 39.3 degrees celcius…which ever you use. I was basically chained onto the bed and pumped full of pills that made me sweat like mad. Chinese medicine is …disgusting to say the least, but really really effective…. Yeah, anyway, long story short, I got sick, I'm back, and now, on with the story!

Dedicated to: ME, AND MYSELF, AND MY INSANE SELF!!!!!!! Mwahahahahahha!!!!!

BTW: I'm going to add a little section at the beginning of each chap from now on, comparing China to America. I just find the two places very different. You don't have to read it. Just typed for fun!

-----------

On the Subject of…

Pizza.

Chinese people eat pizza from a frying pan. They have Pizza Hut, but that's about it. And pizza is eating using a fork and a knife. It is considered rude to eat it with you hands. (I learned the hard way) The pizza size is not large, medium, or small, but counted in numbers. Like for example, I would tell the waiter dude I want a pizza that was size 9 (about a medium). In conclusion, I like USA pizza better. More variety, and less formal. Perfect for throwing, and feeding to the dog.

Pardon the Parody

On the way to the amusement park, the three boys were mainly silent, with the exception of Miroku, who was conversing with the three females quite animatedly. Inuyasha sent an occasional glare at them, and Sesshomaru just ignored them altogether, choosing wisely to instead, look at the road.

Rin, Kagome, and Sango were having an absolutely charming time though, as they chatted away, quite animatedly. By the time the group reached the park entrance, the three females had gotten to know each other pretty well.

Sesshomaru helped Rin out of the car and went to go buy the tickets. The rest of the members waited at the gate.

After a few minutes, Sesshomaru came back with the tickets and everyone went in for what they hoped to be a night full of fun laughter and lots of cows.

Kagome's eyes widened as she took in all the rides. Sango's eyes widened as she saw all the games. Inuyasha's eyes widened as he saw all the food stands, and Miroku… Well, his eyes widened when he saw the female population hanging around.

Rin laughed as she said excitedly,

"Come on! Lets start with some games then go on the rides!"

"But…What about the food?" Inuyasha asked whiningly.

Kagome tugged at his arm, pulling him towards a game stand.

"We'll talk about that later. I want to have fun right now!"

When they reached the game, Kagome's eyes were immediately drawn to a giant stuffed plushie of a cow. Squealing she immediately turned towards the game determined to win, regardless of the money she had to pay.

She groaned as she saw what it was. It was arm wrestling with this muscle man. Kagome couldn't even win an arm wrestle game against her brother, or her grandpa. Now, if she wanted that cow she didn't have much of a choice. Already feeling defeat washing over her, she laid down the money and sat in the seat opposite of her opponent. As soon as the timer went off, Kagome was down. Her opponent looked at his adversary surprised. He had never beaten such an easy opponent before.

Why was she doing this? Kagome asked herself as she put her money down again. She had just lost 5 times in a row. She positioned herself as she prepared to lose again. That's when she noticed that her opponent was yawning. The nerve of him! Just cause she lost every single game, that didn't give him the right to be rude.

Inuyasha looked around. He just saw her a second ago. Where did the ball go? She was headed to a game and he had followed until a crowd of people separated them for a few seconds, and when they were gone…so was she. All of a sudden though, he heard a furious roar nearby.

"YOU DRUNK FISH!!! I'LL SLICE YOUR ARM OFF AND PARBOIL IT IN A POT OF SPOILED MILK!!! AND THEN FEED IT UP YOUR EARS WITH TABASCO SAUCE!!!!! MAY ALL THE COWS WHO SWIM IN THE BOTTOMLESS SEA OF DOOM CURSE YOU AND YOUR EVIL WATERMELON LIKE STRENGTH!!!!"

Inuyasha grinned as he followed her voice. After all, how many people do you hear with such creative threats? A few seconds later he saw her and another strange male arm to arm, the timer about to go off.

Blinking, he asked,

"Ball, what are you doing?"

"I'M TRYING TO WIN THAT COW!!! BUT THIS EVIL HALF PURPLE DUCK KEEPS GETTING THE BETTER OF ME!!!" was the heated answer he got.

The timer went off and Kagome once again… lost… After another 3 turns of miserable losing, Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. At this rate, she was going to lose all her money and he wasn't going to be able to eat.

Grumbling, he paid the fair and sat down, to the surprise of Kagome. The crowd buzzed excitedly. This was getting interesting. The timer went off and, as usual, a hand went down.

But it wasn't the usual small petite hand of a girl, it was a bulky, meatly hand, and it was being held down by a long, sharp nailed hand, that didn't even twitch.

Inuyasha looked bored as he stared at his opponent, who was sweating considerably. This was too easy. He could barely even feel the man's effort. At last, when the man couldn't take it anymore, he let go and turned to the prize giver.

"Oy! I won fair and square. Now give the ball her stupid cow so I can get myself some grub."

Kagome nearly fainted with joy as the cow grew bigger and bigger until at last, it was in her arms. So soft, and fuzzy. After all her effort, she had finally won. Well…technically, Inuyasha won. And speaking of Inuyasha, where was he? Kagome turned around to see him waiting for her. She ran and caught up with him.

"Thanks, Inuyasha."

Silence

"I really appreciate your help."

Silence

Kagome fumed. Here she was, thanking him and he ignores her.

"Oh, and Inuyasha?"

Silence

"I also take back calling you mutated goat."

Inuyasha bristled.

"When did you ever call me a MUTATED GOAT?!?!?!"

He asked, turning on Kagome, who had a very innocent look on her face.

"Never, but I was thinking it."

He was about to reply when the smell of food stopped him in his tracks. He raced toward the scent with Kagome following close behind.

Soon, the reached the source of the smells. It was coming from a long table heaped full with food. Hotdogs, corn, cotton candy, popcorn, fries, pies of every flavor…just to name a few.

Inuyasha was about start on the food when a hand swiped at him, missing by a few millimeters. He looked up to see an old lady with an eye patch and a name badge that indicated her name was Kaede.

"Theif! No work, no food! This is the prize for the winner of the archery contest!"

Inuyasha blinked. Archery? Prize? Contest? Well, if it came with food… He'd do it. After paying the money to join the contest. He picked up the bow and shot a few practice rounds. After using up 50 arrows without even grazing the edge of the target, he groaned in frustration. This was hopeless.

At that moment, he felt Kagome tap his arm.

"What do you want ball?"

Kagome smiled.

"I talked to Kaede-sama and she agreed to let us switch spots."

"Why would I switch spots with you?"

"Because I used to be on the school archery team, and no matter how bad I am, I can't be worse than you."

And as much as Inuyasha hated to admit it, it ball had a point. He really didn't have much of a choice did he? He could either pathetically lose, or he could switch and hope that the ball knew what she was doing.

Handing her the bow and the last 5 arrows, he growled,

"Please don't lose. I really want that food. My stomach is killing me like mad."

Kagome looked at him. He had never ever said please before. That food must mean a lot to him. Nodding, she followed the other contestants as they all took their places.

With a word from Kaede, all 25 entrants released their arrows. Of those, only 20 of those made the target. On the second round, only 18 made the outer circle. 13 made it into the inner circle on the 3rd round. Finally, on the fourth round, 3 people made it into semi-center circle.

Kagome looked at her opponents. They were both steady and had good pose. They were going to be tough to beat, but she had to win. She couldn't let Inuyasha down…or…he'd… … …starve.

Picking up her last arrow, she notched it and aimed. Then, with the word from Kaede, the last three let loose their arrows. Three thuds of arrows hitting the target were heard, but only one hit the bulls eye. Kaede walked over to the target and examined it. Then, pulling Kagome's arrow out, she proclaimed,

"Kagome is the winner! Please accept your prize!"

Kagome felt like bursting with joy. She still had her skills! Looking for Inuyasha, she found him pigging out on the food she worked so hard to win. He didn't even come to congratulate her! Huffing, she walked away.

After a few moments, she heard Inuyasha following her.

"….um… The food is really good."

Silence

"Wanna hot dog?"

Silence

"Pie?"

Silence

"Cotton candy? Slushie? Popcorn?"

Silence

Inuyasha searched though his mind for something to say. And then he hit on it. The perfect thing to say to a girl who was practically spitting fire.

"I can see your underwear."

Kagome had it. She blew up. That was her last nerve, and it had just snapped. Picking up a chair, she spun onto Inuyasha, ready to smash him into atom sized pieces.

Then, she saw that he was smiling at her. Not his evil smirk or his trademark sneer, but a nice smile. Surprised, she looked at him, waiting for him to say something, anything to explain his mysterious change of mood.

"Thanks, Kagome."
