-1Kagome's House
7:30pm - 9:00 pm
Re looked at him and became extremely nervous, 'What is he holding… ohh… I should know better than to make everybody mad… some people really are crazy' Rei had to think of something; she though it must've been a gun and a pretty large because he was struggling to keep it from showing from behind his back.
Kurama looked at her and assumed that some loud mouth told her already that he was coming and she was trying to keep quiet to keep from saying it. Then he thought that maybe she already saw him and maybe she was nervous because she didn't know how to say 'no' without hurting his feelings. He was all caught up in his mind that he wasn't paying attention to what was about to happen to him.
The next thing Kurama knew was that he had an ofuda on his forehead and Rei pulled him down to the ground from his knee area causing him to fall on his back backwards. ' What… why am I getting beat up just for trying to apologize… I didn't even mean what I said earlier..' Kurama was baffled and was even more baffled when he saw Rei with a sorry looking face on her and also looking stupefied.
Rei felt so stupid… how could she assume such a thing. It was a good thing that Miroku was there to stop her and it wasn't only Inuyasha; Inuyasha was busy cheering her on, he was happy to see someone get beat up. Miroku had pointed out when she made him slip that there were a whole bunch of rose petals and a couple of roses that fell on the ground. She couldn't even speak… how stupid can she be? She walked away and told Miroku to help him up and Inuyasha to take off the ofuda, which didn't work out. She wasn't thinking straight when she walked away. Miroku took off the ofuda while Inuyasha waited 'til he got done and helped him up with the help of Miroku… the effects of the ofuda last for long periods of time.
She was too embarrassed to walk out the door and say she was sorry just like she was earlier when she knew she was watching him and not paying attention when she bumped into him.
The screen door opened and there stood Miroku, and decided to speak:" Rei, I think he came for you not for us.. So, you should go speak to him. Are you feeling alright?" He put his hand on her arm and walked her out the door while she still was flushed with embarrassment. She walked slowly and hesitantly walked outside; Kurama saw this and decided that it was a bad idea to come and she wouldn't accept his apology. He started walking the opposite walk and to which surprised Miroku and Inuyasha.
Rei saw Kurama walking away and let go of the grasp from Miroku and ran over to Kurama," WAIT! Don't leave… I'm so sorry! Really, I'm sorry… I didn't mean to hit you like that!" She ran and slipped over her own shoelace which was stopped by Kurama being quick on his feet and catching her before she hit the ground though she was pretty close. He was on one knee when he caught her with her arms around his shoulders and his hands on her waist as he gradually got up from the ground and helped her up; he smiled as he looked into those violet eyes… which he found so captivating.
He looked into her face and never did let her go during those five seconds that seemed like forever; he though to himself taking a thousand pictures of her wouldn't be enough. Those beautiful soft pink lips, gentle face, and those eyes were just unimaginable… 'Those eyes… they are full of pain… just like in my dream, could she be the same girl?' His hands were still near her small waist and not once during those five seconds did Rei make a big deal; maybe, she too was captivated with him.
Finally, Rei realized that she had just been staring at the boy and decided to say something: "Hey! You can put me down, now! I know you want to hold me but this is getting out of hand!" she said wit the most convincing tone that would've made anyone think she cared about being held by him, though when being held, she actually felt safe.
Kurama snapped out of it and put her down with a grin on his face; he decided to take his leave seeing that there was no reason to stay until he heard a feminine voice say behind him:" I saw the roses and you have a small teddy bear in your hands… were those for… me, before I attacked you?" He heard her speak those words with a questionable voice and in hope for a 'yes' or maybe he could've been wrong or that in hope for could've been for a 'no'; he wasn't sure what to think when it was her, she was hard to please and read. He had been wrong about her, before.
Kurama was about to lie but then he saw her pick up the card that had dropped during her bashing of him that had pretty cursive writing in the front which read to: Hino Rei.
She began to read it to herself and this is what it said the card:
Dear Rei,
I'm sorry for my terrible behavior that I shown earlier today. I never meant to say those horrible things and I wasn't thinking when I said it.
You know better than anyone else that you are one person I would never try to purposely hurt. I care for you, and that has never changed. I felt hurt that you would say I was like all the other guys when I though you would remember how close I was to you before you left to live with your grandfather.
I though about you everyday after you left home… I missed and when I saw you again, I never once thought about hurting you or that you would hurt me with those words.
I wanted to prove that I really mean I am sorry, so would you go to the fair with me? I would pay! Remember what I told you when we were younger?
Anyways, even if you don't accept it, I mean the going to the fair… could you at least make me feel better by saying you forgive me?
Could we still be friends?
Love,
Kurama
Rei was quite surprised that he went all through that to say he was sorry for something that she knew she should be saying sorry for. She looked at him and she knew she was wrong about what she said earlier; he was still somewhat the same boy that she knew back when she was 12 years old. She walked over to him keeping a stern look on her but never leaving eye contact from him or to him. Slowly upon walking to him did a smile appear on her face and tears of happiness stroll down her face like children after three days of being stuck in a house, as all she could do was nod her head in a yes motion.
Kurama wasn't sure of how to take this because he wasn't sure if she was saying she forgives him or not or whether she was going crazy.
Rei finally was able to speak, she was no longer caught in the tongue by a cat, as she spoke proudly: "Of COURSE! I forgive you… and I would love to go to the fair with and I still remember those words that you said because, like you, I never forgot about you though I thought you did! I… am… sorry!" Kurama looked utterly shock by her apology because she was not one to apologize; she was always too stubborn to admit her faults but now she apologized to… him.
Rei was glad to say those words, it took a load off of her from earlier. Kurama mentioned that they had better leave right now because everyone was going to be there today. Rei happily accepted to walk with him and mentally reminded herself to talk to the other boys later.

Rini stared at the clock blankly inside the living room while Shippo was fascinated by the TV since he had never seen something like that before. He was watching a music video thinking that it was some kind of magical object that could allow you to watch anyone and he was happy as can be to see a pretty girl dancing on a song called 'Only U.' Shippo got on the floor and started dancing like an idiot because not only had he never saw an object like that; he never heard music like that, either. It was a strange but beautiful music called 'R&B' and the girl was named after an ancient African tribe called Ashanti, this was really strange yet enjoyable to him. Shippo then became frightened and turned the TV when he thought he saw the ugliest youma he had ever seen named after some money called 50 Cent and couldn't believe that people couldn't talking music. Rini was surprised by Shippo's strange behavior; the way he behaved, you would've thought he was from Feudal era.
The clock read '8:25' 'What is taking him so long?' Rini thought to herself as her mind wandered about him and his girlfriend. She glanced at the girl as she noticed Shippo started blasting some music u and was screaming for it to shut up. 'Guess he doesn't know how to use the volume button…' She pressed the volume low and Shippo looked at her in amazement thinking that she had somehow tamed the beast called: television.
It was now '8:40' and Sota was still not home and then suddenly he came in with a bright smile that Rini would usually think was sort of cute though she wouldn't admit it but right now it annoyed the heck out of her because she knew it came from being with that girl. His cheeks were still a little red and he decided to sit down next to Shippo, not next to Rini.
He, then, looked over to the side of where Rini was and noticed that she looked pretty mad, and like Ash from Pokemon, he didn't take the hint, he assumed that she was mad that there was an annoying song and video on TV.
He looked over again and decided to speak:" Hey, Rini, my girlfriend and I are going to the fair… her mom is going to pick me up in a few minutes because she said I should change before going and she needed to, too. This will be my first real date with her.. 'cause all the other were with my mom and her mom being there to supervise. Aren't you happy for me?" Rini just looked over and got up from where she was sitting at and walked away.
Sota was confused; Shippo knew more about this type of attitude than Sota because of his watching Kagome and Inuyasha. Sota thought about all the times that Kagome couldn't even speak to Inuyasha and all she could do was walk way because Inuyasha was always running back to Kikyo… he couldn't help but feel bad for Rini. Though, he understood that Rini was hurt because of watching those two, he still didn't understand love but then again who does.
Sota walked up to where Rini was after seeing Kagome walk by her and then though she had a concerned face, she walked away. Rini was about to follow Kagome's lead but by going the other way until she felt a hand grab hers. Rini blushed for a second until she heard Sota say," Are you sick? Your face looks red all over."
"No! I'm not sick… you, idiot!" Rini yelled out then quieted her voice the last part.
Sota just looked at her knowing she didn't mean the last part of what she said and leaned back on the wall and looked her in the eyes trying to read them though he was very bad at that and his mind was stuck on Emerald. He then asked:" So, what's wrong with you? Why did you just run away from me? And why are so avoidant to speak to me? Did I wrong you in any way or are you just tired of me?" His words came out with calmness but a worry tone to go with it.
"NO… I'm not tired of you though I'm tired of your thousand questions, dang!" Rini walked away not understanding the emotions she felt inside. Were these the same emotions that Serena felt when she thought Rei might still have emotions for her dad?

At the fair (near the beach)
8:00pm - Midnight
A/N: For those who are confused at the time statement that has just been mention… you others can leave and go on with your business! 8:00 is when Rei and Kurama arrived because they caught a ride with Yusuke who was with Keiko, which is a part I didn't bother writing or making a scene for this fic. But now you know do it's like I did. Whatever! Continue to read the rest of the story. ALSO I am going with the American version where Amara and Michelle are cousins
Trish and Hutaro had a bad feeling that something terrible was going to happen at the fair, though they it was only a feeling, it wasn't like it was a vision from Rei or something. They had been there all day and Hutaro was exhausted and missing Amara-papa and Michelle-mama.
Hutaro wasn't complaining though she did real weak and Trish knew that she had to let her rest; she also knew that if Hutaro got hurt because she fainted that the two cousins who take care of her as though she was their daughter would have her head. Trish went to go get a couple of refreshing drinks for Hutaro and something to eat and something sweet to boost her up.

Rei and Kurama had just about everywhere, including the love boat because it was about the last ride left. Rei was enjoying herself so much; she hadn't been this happy since the day Serena and her became friends. She began to remember what Kurama asked if she remembered what he said when she was only 12 years old.
Flashback in Rei P.O.V.
At some middle school park
3:00 - 3:45
Kurama was my first friend and my first person that I would do like Serena and have a spar session in arguments.
He always seemed so secretive, much like he is now, but now there he seems more secretive. He would always playfully be flirty with me, though I knew he didn't mean it. Even in middle school, girls were always chasing him around and thus I had an army that wanted to have a war with me because I always with me.
"Hey Rei, when I get older and get a job or get rich.. I'm going to take you to the fair… we're going to go on all the rides, and you're going to force me to go on the love boat with you using the excuse that we went every else…" Kurama said to me and then paused and waited to see my response; he tended to always want to get me mad and think it was funny and then he said:" You're going to fall in love with me… when that happens," he smiled and his cheeks went a little red but it was probably because of the cold. Somebody could've easily mistaken for a blush but I knew him too good to know that he was only joking. Besides the voice he used was his usual playful voice with a annoying teasingly flirty voice to go along with it.
I flipped my hair in front of him and turned around… I think I may have been blushing out of the thought and or because I was mad and my face got a little red because he started to laugh and say I was blushing. I turned on my heel and put my hair on my right shoulder, which wasn't nearly as long as it is now, walked over to him in a playfully flirty though I tried to make it look real and said:" Of course that will happen… when I become the princess of Mars and soon to be the Queen of Mars!" I made my voice sound like I mean it at first but then laughed it out in front of his face, which I noticed was red which, this time, it was red because of a blush and out of embarrassment.
I just realized that now I am the Princess of Mars so that wouldn't be a good argument anymore.
He smiled at me and told me in a much more colder and hurt voice:" Not like I would like a mean girl like you anyways… I would probably already have a girlfriend… so ha!"… I think I hurt his feelings.
I smiled a comforting smile and just hugged and asked him if he meant that because if he did, I wasn't going to walk with him. He frowned and crossed his arms… he was so stubborn back then. I decided to take that as no, so I grabbed his hand and told him let's go home.
END OF FLASHBLACK IN REI'S P.O.V.
"Rei do you want to go to the fun house?" Kurama said about the 15th time trying to get her out of her trance of thinking about past which seemed like a thousand years ago.
Rei, noticing that Kurama seemed a little annoyed by her being stuck the world of memories, shook her head and then she noticed Yusuke and the rest of the gang were on a Ferris Wheel behind her.
Upon walking into there, they seemed to be having a lot of fun until the point that they got separated and couldn't find one another. Rei looked around everywhere and found nothing but reflections of her self; from that point on, she decided that fun houses aren't so fun.
She walked into a room and then she saw the reflection of the youma Naraku. She thought she was imagining thing, but then she heard that cold laugh that left chills in her body, the room became cold and full of wind and she found Kagura was standing with Naraku with the little girl in front of her along with the original body of Naraku in the form of a baby. She became frightened and the more she became that way, he seemed to get more proud in his heart.
He put his hand forward and touched Rei on the shoulder from behind and Rei could feel the cold of the dead's hand upon her and the very hairs on her neck began to stick up.
She looked around and found herself in a place much different than the not so fun house, if it was actually a place. It was white, plainly all white, and it looked as if she was floating in the air. She heard his cold voice raining into her body echoing off the walls:" Princess.. My dear, princess, you are not in an another dimension as you would think but you are in a place that would soon kill you if you don't get out… you have 5 minutes to get out or all the air of the room will suddenly be gone.

The moment Kuwabara came off the Ferris wheel, he could feel large amounts of dark energy coming from the fun house, which he saw Kurama coming out looking very worried.
The dark energy was surging all through that place and they needed to get their fast; Botan appeared out of nowhere telling them that it may be Naraku.
XOXOBREAKXOXO
Trish and Hutaro ran towards the fun house sensing their fellow senshi was in trouble and they felt a very familiar aura coming from around there. When they got there it was too late…
XOXOBREAKXOXO
Kurama stood by the wall of the place and pointed out that this was the exact spot and they needed to get everyone from around there away. Hiei sensed a colossal amount of power coming fast and was about to warn Kuwabara but it was too late…
XOXOBREAKXOXO
Rei shot out all the power that she had to get out of that place at the walls and soon saw that the walls were coming down… but the walls that were coming down were burning to the ground… and she made a grave mistake…
XOXOBREAKXOXO
There stood on top of a building was a girl that looked identical to Rei but was wearing a long red dress like that of a princess and her eyes were shadowed by her bangs, she began to speak in Rei's voice:" I, the Mars Princess, have done this not so tragic thing… I am the one who will destroy you all!" She, then, began to laugh like an evil lady but her aura was the same as.. Naraku.
Rei had retransformed before anyone could see her and did not see the one who was trying to pretend to be her. She looked in front of her and saw something that she never thought she would see.
She saw a fire arrow piercing through somebody's chest slowly disappearing, and his body was burned from head to toe. He must've got blasted when she was trying to escape that place that Naraku put her in.
She killed Kuwabara! The princess of War killed Kuwabara!
