Chpt10: A Day at the Theme Park

Kagome POV

"Hurry up Daisuke, Dark!" I shouted out to the both of them while I sat in my open roof sports car which I had it transported from Japan.

"If I don't see you two get down here in 10seconds, I will leave without you to pick up Shippo. 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2.." I said counting out and they were down by the time I reach the digit 2.

"Darn we are so going to be late and I hate keeping Shippo waiting. Buckle on boys." I said while I started to speed at an insane speed which made Daisuke grip tightly onto the seat and Dark was pressing his back against the chair.

Laughing at them lightly, I remember the first time when my driving teacher having finish teaching all the practical, brought me to an empty race car track and taught me all the tricks and speed when in a car race. It was really fun, he was a father figure to me and being a race car driver before he retired to teaching students how to drive, I was his very first student.

My car came to a halt when we arrived at Shiro's house. Dark eyes were wide opened and a look of pure shock and a glimmer of excitement seem to glow in his purple eyes. Daisuke on the other hand seemed to be stuck in the same position when I was speeding.

My sports car is custom made to fit all my purpose when in a race or whether to drive it normally. The speed itself is not those of the average maximum speed. It has much more horse power than all the other cars and runs at high speed over a very little density of petrol.

"Gods Kagome, you driver like a manic," was all Daisuke could managed slowly recovering his sense after that wild ride.

"I wonder how you can stand that speed, it is totally insane and can definitely compete to a rollercoaster ride," Dark managed out while straightening himself in his seat.

Smiling, the front door burst opened and I got out of my car just in time when Shippo came over to envelope me in a tight hug as though afraid that I will be gone in an eye blink.

"It is nice to see you again Shippo, I am sure you remember my cousin Daisuke, whom I have been telling you about. The one seated in front is Dark. Come on get in next to Daisuke Shippo," I said while he hoped into the car happily and bidding his parents goodbye while they watched from the door.

"Bye Shiro, Reiya, we will be back late." I shouted towards them as I drove away, though I know well that even if I speak out normally they will be able to hear what I said.

The ride to the theme park was full of laughter from Dar and I as we heard Shippo talking to Daisuke as such a fast pace, it left Daisuke stunned and unable to reply to any of his questions.

Parking my car near the theme park, "Shippo Dark is now going to be known as Drake, it is much easier then having some rather infamous name that will surely attract more attention than the attention we are receiving now," I told him while Dark looked amused.

The theme park is crowded as usual and before we could even make our way to the entrance of the theme park or even get away from my car, there is always this group of eager guys nearby walking towards me and my car, checking my car and I out. It is irritating and gave me the urge to rip their eyes out from the excessive staring. It took a few minutes to get them away from my car too. Seeing that there were not any humans nearby, I put an illusion around my car and a barrier made from my miko power that will allow only me and the people that I allowed to enter my car. The illusion is put up to show anybody that it is a normal old car.

At the entrance of the theme park, we noticed that we were 5minutes earlier than the time we had intended to meet up with Daisuke's classmates. Seeing that they are not here yet, I took the liberty of heading towards the ticket booth and bought the tickets. By the time I got back with the tickets, most of the girls were looking at Dark with such longing in their eyes and murmuring among themselves about his good looks.

Daisuke's friends were all slowly streaming in, and Shippo was rather anxious going into the theme park to have fun. Seeing that he had been behaving himself and being so patient in waiting for Daisuke's friend to come, I took him in first which Dark had insisted that he come along with us. Seeing that I have no choice since Shippo has taken a sudden liking towards him, I let out a defeated sigh and agreed which he happily smiled in a mysterious way that will make all the female population swoon on his feet but not me.

Shippo dragged both my and Dark to the roller-coaster ride first, sitting himself in between of Dark and I. The ride seemed to have made many of the other riders sick and paled-face. There were a few lopes that made the many people behind us scream and me with excitement from the ride itself. By the time the ride came to and end, I was somewhat disappointed and Dark looked a tad bit pale but he is all in all the same and well. On the other hand, most of the other passengers all stumbled out overcome by the after effects of the ride while some of them seem to hang themselves over the railing lifelessly and waited for the after effects to fade away before walking away still wobbling.

"I am going on this ride again!" I said out cheerfully while most of the passengers who just got out were already groaning at the thought of going on the ride again.

We went on the ride for at least three times and I had already gotten bored on the last ride, yet not having any after effects from the ride at all. The person operating the ride was looking rather shock at me while Dark and Shippo were looking rather dizzy from the ride itself.

Laughing out lightly at their similar behaviour, "Come on, I will let the both of you chose the next few rides."

Shippo upon hearing this immediately recovered and started to ask happily whether it is true. At the first nod of my head, Dark and I was immediately dragged to the Merry-Go-Round ride.

When the ride ended, we were about to be drag yet again to another ride that Shippo wanted to go on but was stop when we caught sight of Daisuke and his group of classmates.

"Daisuke! Riku!" I shouted excitedly while I ran towards them with Dark and Shippo not far behind of me. Running up to hug Riku and her twin Risa, the rest of their group were just staring at me. Introductions were given out in a very fast manner while Shippo went to say his to Daisuke and his friends.

Shippo is always so eager to make new friends. All the girls of Daisuke's class immediately went over to Shippo's and Dark's side to either chat Dark up or talk to Shippo. Risa who also saw Dark, gave a smile and a nod of acknowledgement towards his direction while he returns with a nod of his own.

"So it is true when he said that Risa used to have an infatuation with him," I thought to myself. Meanwhile, I saw Daisuke waving to someone and I turned around to see who it was. The sight of a boy who looked about my age and his hair colour is that of blue and white platinum. Dressed in a pair of demin pants and a white shirt blouse top, he walked towards us.

"Nice to see you again Kagome." He said with a smile on his face, causing a few of the girls there to gasp.

It seems that they are not accustom to seeing Satoshi smile so casually, as he hardly smiles in school.

"Nice to see you here too Satoshi," I said out cheerfully to him with a bright smile.

"How about we head for an early lunch? I am totally starving now," I said out for everyone to hear. Everyone nodded their head in agreement and we all walked towards the nearest fast food restaurant in the theme park.

With our orders in our hand, we all occupied the various seats. Dark, Satoshi and Shippo were all seated at the same table as I. At first, Satoshi was starring at Dark but after a few seconds, decided to let the matter rest for today and enjoy himself.

Shippo feeling that the tension between Dark and Satoshi is already starting to fade away, asked Satoshi a lot of question to which he had answered all with great patience. His voice also seem to soften when he talked to Shippo and Dark was looking towards him in a rather amusing manner.

Shippo being the mischievous child that he is has a plan on getting either Dark or Satoshi to fall for Kagome. He learned how to block out his mind so that no one is able to read them, it is a clever little trick that his parents wants him to learn so as to guard his thoughts from his own enemies and opponents alike.

"Kagome I want to go on that ride. Please?" Shippo said with a puppy look on his face which he knew no one could ever resist, while pointing towards the Terror Mountain ride

"Sure Shippo…"before I could even finish, I was being drag by Shippo towards the line of the ride with Dark and Satoshi jogging to catch up with us. "Well, it is a good thing they are out to put their difference aside for today," I thought to myself, knowing fully well that Satoshi did not immediately call the police as that would not pose a challenge to him in the capture of Dark.

The queue for the ride was rather long, however Shippo did not mind it. When it came to our turn, Shippo immediately took to the last seat on the second row, leaving only the three vacant seats in the first row of that ride. Seeing that I do not have a choice and a suspicious look towards the now innocent yet excited Shippo, I got into it and was sitting in between of Dark and Satoshi.

I could feel the vibe of nervousness rolling off Satoshi and that Dark has thoughts in his devious mind, obviously enjoying being closer to me than necessary. The ride itself is so much more thrilling than the roller-coaster ride and the speed is much faster. The twist and turn were fast, sharp and precise. I like the part when the ride take a turn by going side ways then doing a full 360 degree turn around the small tunnel till we the opening, before going another ride round the whole place in a sort of labyrinth, before coming to a halt to signal the end of the ride.

Grinning broadly like a Cheshire cat, I got out of the place to the open where I waited for the three of them to walk out dizzily. They make such a cute sight to see them leaning against one another to get support and stability, while Shippo walked crookedly towards me before hugging my legs to keep his mind steady and to put an end to this dizziness they had.

Dark and Satoshi both went to the rails and the wall for support so that they will not collapse on the ground in a heap.

"Are you two over there okay? You look like you have seen a spirit of sort," asking them amusingly, knowing that they are definitely not alright.

Like the others who have been on the right, they are still recovering from the after effects of the ride. Shippo has already recovered long ago and is on the stone bench which I am occupying, laughing at them pointedly, earning a very amusing half sick half angry glare from Dark. Satoshi is just plainly getting better now after taking quite a number of deep breaths to calm and steady his mind.

It seems like 10 minutes has passed before Dark and Satoshi are both able to walk properly and not swagger around like some drunk man, a dangerously handsome drunk man. Immediately pushing that thought away in my head, I thought of what to do next. It is obviously that they are going to have another problem of the after effects if we were to go on a ride such as that,

"Come on! Let's go to that 'Haunted Mansion' ride!" I said out while my eyes lit up in excitement while dragging both Dark and Satoshi while Shippo jumped up excitedly and went well ahead of us to line up.

Lucky for us, we did not have to wait long before it is our batch turn to go into the mansion. A lady dressed in a somewhat nun like costume has a well practiced blank face and her voice is low, mysterious, yet far away and eerie. She would make a good actress in my opinion.

"Welcome to the 'Haunted Mansion'. We are now ready to receive you, if you would please follow me in." She said eerily which sent shivers down most of the people's back gathered there.

She seemingly made a lantern appeared out of nowhere. I of course saw where she had gotten the lantern thanks to my youkai abilities. The lantern was well hidden in the wall which had the illusion that there were not any hidden compartments in the wall. The darkness had also added onto the illusion to make it really seem that is not any hidden compartments.

Following our guide into the mansion, I could now smell the scent of fear emitting from the various humans and some hidden demon's scent. The human race population has risen much faster than that of the demons. Mainly it is because the demons are having trouble finding their perfect life mate. They really ought to really appreciate the people who love them for them and not what they have.

We were lead to some kind of basement dungeon where we are all given lanterns of the same kind that she used to explore and walk on out own. Dark and Satoshi both took the lantern at the same time, making Satoshi to glare at Dark while Dark just look amusingly at Satoshi. Controlling myself to not laugh at their behaviour, I stood in between at them beaming, and they immediately acted as though nothing has happened.

Dark gave me a smile which I can distinctively hear, made the girls who saw him to gasp at him and started to murmur among themselves about his looks. While some of the others cast glares of jealousy at me. Satoshi seemed to have notice, offered me his arm with a small smile, making more of the girls to glare at me even more. Smiling innocently at them, I also saw Dark offered me his arm with the same courtesy and attention that Satoshi is showing me.

Finding this amusing shook my head lightly and walked into the darkness of the mansion's basement seeing the many features of illusions that had this so convincingly real. I purposely took slow strides and watching my surroundings, yet made sure that I am always in an area where there is sufficient light to the human eyes and not going into the total darkness which is really starting to tempt me.

Seeing that the light was starting to get brighter from where I was inspecting the whole place, I saw Dark and Satoshi both looking at me though their eyes help some rather unknown expression to me.

"Come on, we are so far behind from seeing the rest of this mansion." I said while dragging them both by their empty hand feeling their hand instinctively held mine.

When we were about half way through the mansion, I also started to realize that there is a group of girls clustered together and were obviously hoping that someone in a silly costume would come out to scare them from the darkness so that they will have to excuse of running up to hug or 'cower' behind either of them.

Dark has rather funny thoughts that I will cling to him whenever someone dressed up as some ghost or some sort would scare me. However, my reaction was quite the opposite, as I would usually just look at those 'ghost' in a very boring manner before walking pass them, leaving them most confuse that they could not manage to scare me. I must admit that their costumes were all unique, however, I have seen things much worse over the past few hundred years in both the Feudal Era and the Makai.

Their costume, thought convincing they will seem to those inexperience demons in disguise and those humans, are not really as close to the real image of those ghost who has been brutally killed and those ghost who have been out for revenge. They are of course not a pretty sight to behold, the training with Sesshy has really taught me a lot of things that the normal demons would never know of.

I did not notice all the while that even though I am not holding onto Dark's or Satoshi's hand, I felt their warmness in my hands. Much to the great disappointment of those girls stalking us behind, I could feel that with each passing minute their glares are now intense and ready to kill me as we walked out of the 'Haunted Mansion'.

Looking at the clock in the park, "Oh, we are supposed to go and meet up with Daisuke at entrance. We have one more ride. Shippo any particular ride you want to go?" I asked him upon sporting him sitting on the stone bench.

Shippo even though was a demon, was rather afraid of the 'Haunted Mansion' when we first set foot in and said that he would wait outside for us.

"How about the Ferris-wheel?" he asked eagerly and was already half way dragging us there.

Like the other rides, the Ferris- wheel queue is just as long as the others and we had to wait for some time. Behind us in the queue, was a few of Daisuke's friends and they were somehow lost in their own little daydream at the sight of Dark and Satoshi under the scene of the setting sun against their back.

I have to agree that they are quite a sight here in Azumano. Boarding into the compartment of the Ferris-wheel, Dark sat next to me while Satoshi sat directly in front of me with Shippo next to him.

The tension inside proves to be relaxing at first however somewhere to the point that we are near the peak of the ride, Dark had snaked his arm around the back of my seat while leaning back with a small self satisfying smile. That was when the tension in the air starts to thicken between Dark and Satoshi. Satoshi seem to have a rather fierce glare on his face directed to Dark while Dark was smirking at him.

Shippo sensing the tension lighted the mood when he started talking to both Dark and Satoshi drawing their attention away for a while, while I took the chance to move as far away from Dark as the seats allowed me. Finding that the Ferris-wheel had come to a complete halt, the view from the peak of the ride has proven to be worth it.

The sight of the sun setting into the horizon of the ocean is wonderful, causing me to let out a little gasp. It is so much better to view the sun rays beaming down upon the island of Azumano as though setting it on fire.

I guess I had gasped a little too audible to cause the attention of both Dark and Satoshi to be drawn to me. Not wanting to see their reaction, I continue to look out admirably at the scene before me, feeling a few strands of my hair have fallen in front of my face.

When I looked at the two of them, they have that expression that I did not know of on their face again. They both simultaneously reached out at the same time to brush my hair away from my face, as their hand clashed at the same time, causing both of them to glare at one another.

Seeing this, I shook my head and brush those few strands of hair back in place before looking out the window once more before it started to move again. The ride was over faster than what Dark and Satoshi had anticipated, while Shippo was stating that he was hungry.

The walk to the entrance of the theme park was a silent on while Shippo was walking and skipping happily, thinking of the perfect place to have dinner at. Daisuke and his friends were already at the entrance waiting for us. I noticed that the group is now much smaller as Daisuke explained that a few of them had to go back home.

We had dinner at a French restaurant which Risa had told us about. The food was perfect and the setting was very relaxing. Dark and Satoshi were both sitting on my side while Shippo sat next to Daisuke, Riku and Risa.

Dinner was a very peaceful meal that I had enjoyed while light conversation was made about the theme park and the things that they had done there. I send Risa and Riku home, while Satoshi called for his driver to pick him up from the restaurant itself. On the ride to Shippo's house, Shippo had fallen asleep and I had to carry him back to his room after prying his fingers from my shirt.

Shippo is still afraid that I will leave him forever, and it is a comforting thought. Giving him a light kiss on his forehead, I bid Shiro and Reiya goodnight before speeding back to my aunt's house. Which was rather a quiet one and both Daisuke and Dark did not have the same reaction as they had when they were both riding in on my first speed to Shippo's house in the morning.
