Urameshi stared at him incredulously. "What do you mean, you're coming with me? I didn't invite you!"
Kuwabara scrambled to come up with a reason. There was no way he was telling Urameshi he was lost and scared to be alone in the crowd. "Well, I got no one else to hang out with, and festivals are no fun alone."
"Festivals are plenty fun alone," Urameshi argued.
"No they're not," Kuwabara said.
"Yes, they are!" Urameshi snapped.
That was when Kuwabara noticed that there was no one in the crowd staying near them like they were with Yusuke. "Are you here alone?" Kuwabara asked, half impressed at Urameshi's audacity, and half ashamed of his own fear.
Urameshi shrugged, looking away. "Mom's here somewhere. She doesn't make me stay with her."
"Wow," Kuwabara said. "My mom would never let me go off alone like that."
Urameshi puffed up a bit at Kuwabara's praise. Then he said, "Hey, if your mom wouldn't let you go off alone, why are you alone?"
Kuwabara wilted. "Um…"
"You got lost, didn't you?"
"…Yeah."
Urameshi doubled over laughing.
"It's not funny!" Kuwabara said, blushing.
"You're such a moron," Urameshi said.
"Oh yeah? Well, I bet I could beat you at ring toss!" Kuwabara said pointing at the nearest booth.
Urameshi sobered. "You're on!"
Moments later they stood in front of a line of glass bottles, three rings in their hands. Urameshi threw his first ring and missed. Kuwabara tossed his and made it. "Hah!" Kuwabara said.
Urameshi scowled and threw his second ring; this one made it. "Bet you can't do it again," Urameshi taunted.
Kuwabara threw his second ring, and this one missed. That meant they were tied one to one, with one throw left.
I won't lose!
