CHAPTER 38: THE FAIR

"Okay guys, I'm bored. What are we gonna do?" Kagome sat up from her reclining spot on the couch, lifting Inuyasha's head in the process, and looked down at her friends sprawled over the floor in boredom. Sango shrugged, but Miroku looked considering. As she shifted again, Inuyasha let out a protesting growl to her movement from her stomach. She just scowled and tapped his head hard before getting up, letting his head fall smack on the couch. He sighed in defeat and watched her hips swing as she went to the kitchen for a drink. That's when Miroku sat straight up and smacked his forehead.

"Jesus, why don't I remember these things?!" Miroku hissed.

Inuyasha eyed him lazily, "maybe it was all the times Sango smacked you too hard."

That earned him the pillow she was lying on in his face, and he fell back laughing.

Miroku smiled, "nah, she's love me too much for that. Anyways, I totally forgot you know that fair I told you guys about?"

"Yeah, when is it?" Kagome asked as she came back in and Inuyasha sat up to let her on the couch.

"Well, if I'm thinking right, which is rare, its tonight. I thought I didn't hear any screams or the sounds of rides last night. They totally shut down for maintenance the night before," he said, brightening.

"Well, I guess we know what we're doing to night," Sango said and got up, dusting herself off. "Come on Kagome, time to make ourselves beautiful."

Kagome giggled as she got up, and followed Sango upstairs.

"But you don't need it! You're already beautiful!" Miroku shouted after them, and Sango just waved her hand.

"You just say that because I sleep with you. But not everyone has a chance to sleep with us," she teased, already guessing the out come.

"It better stay that way!" Inuyasha yelled, and Kagome could just imagine the look on his face. That had her laughing all the way upstairs. They showered, the normal girl procedure, and put on some jeans and tops, nothing big cause it was pretty hot out. When they came downstairs though, they almost face vaulted to the floor. Inuyasha and Miroku were sitting on the couch, doing the worst possible impression of sleep they've ever seen. Inuyasha had his head leaned all the way back and was snoring louder than possible, and Miroku had drool coming out of his mouth. Sango clucked her tongue and stalked up. Inuyasha heard her and couldn't help the smile that came to his lips.

"We didn't take that long!!!" Sango yelled and smacked Miroku upside the head for laughing at her. He wiped his mouth and doubled over clutching his stomach.

Kagome pursed her lips holding in her giggles, "you guys did a really bad job."

Inuyasha grinned and jumped at her, swooping her into his arms. "That was the whole point."

"Come on prince charming, lets get going. I want to kick Miroku's ass at games," Sango drawled, and Miroku immediately started protesting as they left the house. Inuyasha turned to Kagome.

"Am I really that charming?" he kidded.

She sighed, "sometimes. Come on, time to enjoy the rides."

The couple walked out behind their friends and saw they were taking the beach route. The sand shifted beneath their feet as they walked hand in hand. They chatted lightly, you know about stupid stuff like what movie was cool or something. At one time, they heard Sango scream and saw that Miroku was holding her threateningly over the waves. She ranted and kicked, but he only laughed and set her on her feet, cringing from the smack she wanted to give him. Inuyasha got an idea, but Kagome pinched him a warning and set him straight with a glare.

They came upon the boardwalk, the giant wooden poles that supported it crusted over with algae and sea life, the screams of children on a ride filling the air. It was close to dusk now, and the fair was lit up like a Christmas tree, the Ferris wheel's lights shifting colors, the roller coaster's flashing continuously, and the vendors calling out prizes if you win or do this. Suddenly, Kagome was filled with childish excitement, and she tugged the hanyou's hand to go faster.

"Whoa, what's the hurry?" he laughed, noticing Sango was motioning for them to hurry.

"Come on, you have to win me a prize!" she cheered.

"Since when is that law?" he kidded as he sped up, picking up on her excitement.

"Since I said so! Oh my gosh, that's my favorite ride! Lets go!" she cried and laughed tugging him along. He just laughed with her and jogged to the boardwalk with her. She was about to take the first step up the stairs to the boardwalk, but he pulled her down into his arms and he nuzzled her neck.

"I want you to have fun tonight," he whispered, and made her shiver when he nipped her earlobe.

"I will when you win me the first prize of the night," she replied, and she busted out giggling when he hands ran up her sides.

"Come on love birds, there's a prize calling my name!" Sango shouted and ran up the stairs with the rest following her. But Kagome paused when she came across a sign.

"Hey guys! There's a show later, want to see it?" Sango came up next to her, and the boys looked the sign over.

"A hypnotist? Great, a fraud. What's the point?" Inuyasha grumbled and walked away. Kagome gasped and stomped after him.

"It could be fun! Who knows, maybe he's so horrible that we'd get to laugh it him all night," she suggested, shoving Inuyasha to the side. "Besides, you said you wanted me to have fun tonight."

"I know I did. I meant fun with me, and sitting and watching an old fart do tricks is not fun," he replied, but paused when she whipped out the good ol' pout. "Come on Kagome…"

She made her eyes more pathetic and clasped her hands in front of her, extending her lip further out, making it tremble slightly. He groaned. He hated that look, cause it ALWAYS got her what she wanted. It was just so pathetic, so gut wrenching, so pull-your-heartstrings, he couldn't resist. And damn it if he didn't want to wipe that pout of her face with a good smoldering kiss.

"Alright! We'll go…" he sighed when she squealed and pecked his cheek. Miroku walked up, put a hand on his shoulder, and did a dramatic sigh. "She had you in the second she did that."

Inuyasha just grumbled as the girls went off like hyperactive five year olds who saw the true meaning of life in a prize teddy bear. The couples split up, planning to meet at the show ground and get something to eat in a few hours. Kagome immediately went for the rides, while Sango went to approve of which game she could beat Miroku at. Inuyasha was pretty pleased with Kagome's first choice. It was the called the Rocket (I'm about to describe one of my favorite rides, and if you have no idea what it is, too bad). It had two sides that rotated in a circle or back and forth, with one capsule on each end of the arms. When straight up and down, it reached a good 60 feet, and looked like a real gut buster.

"Come on Inuyasha! This is like my favorite ride!" Kagome said and got on line. It took about ten minutes, but they finally got on, two to a capsule. "Inuyasha? Are you okay?"

Inuyasha gave a shaky nod, "was never good with heights, but strangely I don't mind."

She giggled when the ride jerked forward and started rocking. After minute, they finally made a circle, and she grabbed his hand as she screamed happily. He held on to hers as they made a few circles, and then started going backwards. By the time they got off Kagome looked like she went through a g-force machine her hair was so messed up. But she just laughed and dragged him to another ride, one that looked really fast. Least to say, Inuyasha was in love all over again.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the fair…

"No! Best three out of five!" Sango pleaded, looking with despair as Miroku managed yet again to knock all the bottles down. Miroku just gave a smug sigh and put an arm around her shoulders, feeling bad she had to pout.

"Come on Koi. Besides, we won enough that you can have the biggest prize," he suggested, but she shook her head.

"I wanted to win my own!" she pouted and crossed her arms like a child. He went to poke her, but suddenly saw what would wipe winning from her mind forever. He signaled to the man for it, and the man reached up and got it for him, handing him the stuffed animal.

"If it makes you feel better, I won this for you," he said, and she turned around. And squealed the loudest she ever could. She held out her arms, and Miroku placed the humongous stuffed tiger in her arms. It was black with white strips, and had a blue nose and eyes, and she clung to it for dear life. Then out of the blue, Miroku found himself pummeled to the ground, caught in Sango's power grip, trying to get some air. But air didn't matter when her lips found his and he was lost in the heat of the moment. He was marginally aware that people were catcalling and cheering, but when Sango dipped her tongue into the matter, that too was forgotten.

She pulled away panting and stared at his flustered state for a moment. "Don't go to sleep tonight," she purred, and Miroku couldn't stop his heart from racing. But she got up and helped him up, hooking one arm with his. "Shall we? I'm getting hungry and if I know Kagome, all the rides will make her starved."

They walked in silence, but Miroku couldn't keep the thought from leaving his mouth. "Did the tiger really mean that much to you?"

She purse her lips in thought, but snuggled closer, "well, I love tigers, but…" unnoticed by passersby, her hand went under his shirt and smoothed over his abs, making him shiver. "I love you more."
