After [Name] and Ryūko left the fortune teller they decided to walk around and pounder what the cards they had received meant.

'The card of sacrifice and the card of the reunion. What could those two mean? I get the first card it means I will protect someone or a lot of people. That much is clear but still.' Where the thoughts of one [Name] before he and Hideo had a mental conversion.

'So I will meet my fathers killer and according to that old women I'm probably going to end up foghting them. The last card though the card of loss. It means I'm going to lose something I care about. The only question is what.'

They where both snapped out of their thoughts when Ryūko saw the very reason she had came here Satsuki.

"There she is." Ryūko said almost as if she was growling at said girl.

[Name] turned his head to see that she was staring at Satsuki. "Yeah there she is." [Name] said as he looked at her that was until he realized that she was the girl he had bumped into his first day of school.

"That's the girl who killed your father?" [Name] asked looking at Ryūko.

"Yeah." Ryūko said as she gave Satsuki a death glare that just might freeze hell over.

"She isn't wearing Junketsu either." Ryūko said as a confused look overtook her face.

"You look a bit confused what's wrong?" [Name] asked.

"Why isn't she wearing Junketsu?" Ryūko asked out loud still not taking her eyes off Satsuki.

"Well you aren't wearing Senketsu maybe she was forced to follow the same rules as you." [Name] said looking at her.

"You think so?" Ryūko asked finally taking her eyes off Satsuki.

"Well yeah not only that but it might be a bit embarrassing to stand out like that. Plus isn't she all about rules and what not?" [Name] said giving Ryūko a smile.

"Yeah you're right. But if that truly is the case why is she here by herself?" Ryūko asked but this question was quickly answered when a teen figure approached her and they walked away.

"Well it would seem as if she isn't here by herself." [Name] said looking at the two walk towards some sort of stage.

They followed said female only to find that a crowd had been gathering around the stage that the two had stood on. The two tried to hide behind some of the people that were in front of them. Little did they know that this would prove pointless.

Satsuki took ahold of a microphone and began to speak. "Hello everyone it is I Satsuki. I as well as my companion will be the judges for this years dance composition." At hearing this Ryūko paled.

"Well it seems like if we want to win all that Pocky then we'll really have to work for it." [Name] said as he looked at the ever paling girl.

"Yeah." Was all the girl managed to get out before Satsuki continued to speak.

"Would all who wish to participate in the dance contest please make their way to the stage with their dancing partners." At this several people made their way to the stage.

Ryūko now having second thoughts about the composition looked at [Name] to ask only a single question. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

[Name] looked at Ryūko and decided to tease her a bit. "What are we suddenly scared of Satsuki now?"

"What!? Of course not!" With that said Ryūko grabbed [Name]'s hand started to drag him onto the stage.

As soon as the two made their way on stage several eyes were upon them. One of these eyes included the cold blues of one Satsuki. As the she passed the two she had a slight smirk on her face.

She then turned around to face the crowd and began to once again speak. "Alright well it seems as if we have our contestants. If any others would like to participate then please make your way to the stage now or the contest will began." Satsuki stated as her and her partner made their way down to a small table with two seats in front of them.

After a couple of seconds of seeing that no one else was going to enter the stage they decided to start explaining the rules. "The rules are quiet simple. When the music starts to play you get with your partner and dance. Several different songs will play at the end of each round some will be eliminate. The final two will slow dance with their partner and then we shall decide weather or not they win." The male figure said as he took his seat.

"If any of you have changed your mind about the dance please exit the stage." Satsuki stated and as expected only a few exited the stage.

After a couple of seconds a song started to play it was upbeat and had a very fast pace. It was obviously the type of song that street dancers preform to. Several people just started to do their own thing.

"What are they doing?" Ryūko asked looking at them.

"No idea but it sure is the show." [Name] said as he looked at male that was currently on the ground trying to lift himself up but didn't have the strength to. "a couple of idiots if you ask me." [Name] said as he averted his gaze from said male.

"Yeah I mean really if you can't dance then don't bother right." Ryūko said.

"Yeah it's kind of stupid. I mean it's like saying you're a chief but for some reason you work at a fast food restaurant." [Name] said. The two continued along this path until the end of the song. Then a scary thought went though the mind of [Name].

"Oh shit we didn't dance throughout the entire song." When this was spoken they then turned to the judges and they were pleasantly surprised that they were not eliminated.

They were about to ask what was up until a couple that had gotten eliminated spoke up. "WHAT GIVES HOW COME WE GOT ELIMINATED WHEN THEY DIDN'T?" the male of the two said pointing at [Name] and Ryuko. "Yeah they didn't even dance though out the entire song they just talked to each other." The female of the two finished.

Satsuki was the one to answer the question the two presented. "Because even though they didn't dance. They may not have danced but they show that they work good together as a couple. This contest is an extension of the carnival and as such you must not only dance but also show that you work good together the fact that the two of you did your own thing when dancing shows you two do not work good together." Satsuki explained.

After a stern look they both got the message and left the stage. "Well that's the most ridicules thing I've heard in awhile." [Name] said messaging the back of his neck.

"That is kind of stupid." Ryūko said agreeing with her counterpart.

As they started their own conversation once again they failed to notice that Satsuki had a slight smile on her face. Not the usual evil I'm going to kill you smile but a true smile however she quickly his this from sight.

"Alright now if we don't have any more questions the next song will now begin to play." Satsuki said holding up her hand.

The next song then began to play this snapped the two out of their conversation.

"Wow when we signed up for this I didn't realize we were going to waste." [Name] said looking at the girl in front of him.

"Yeah you want to go do something else?" Ryūko asked the male.

"Oh yeah. No amount of Pocky is worth this." [Name] said as they exited the stage.

When they did they received a couple of glances from some passerby's. "Well you do realize there is no way to win that Pocky now right." Ryūko stated looking at the male.

"Yeah but I suck at dancing anyway so whatever. Plus I could just buy some at the next candy stand we pass." [Name] said as they walked down to the part of carnival that had some rides.

"Alright so what do you want to try first?" [Name] asked as they walked down one of the two lanes they had.

"Well what about the ferris wheel." Ryūko said as the giant ride came more and more into view.

"Well I don't see anything wrong with it." [Name] stated as they approached the ride.

While they waited Hideo and [Name] started a argument once again while [Name] also tried to carry out a conversation with Ryūko.

"Perfect place to confess." Hideo stated.

"So got anything planned for this weekend?" Ryūko asked as the line moved along rather slowly.

'SHUT UP HIDEO!' [Name] mentally screamed although what came out was much different. "My plans for this weekend are the same as they usually are. Watch you and Mako go off to fight someone head to the Library then wait for something interesting to happen."

"What confessing when you're about a hindered feet off the ground seems like a good idea to me." Hideo stated completely ignoring what [Name] had just told him.

"You know it's a little nice to go somewhere without Senketsu on." Ryūko stated as the giant wheel started to turn again.

'I SAID SHUT UP!' [Name] once again mentally screamed while somehow still remaining calm on the outside. "Really what makes you say that?" [Name] asked.

Ryūko then went into great detail about how overprotective Senketsu was while [Name] was forced to mentally yell at Hideo every seven seconds. As the wheel stopped and people began to get off [Name] found himself increasing growing nervous.

'Hideo I need you to do something for me.' [Name] stated as they progressively got closer to the giant wheel.

"What's that?" Hideo asked now actually listening to [Name].

'I need a pep-talk.' [Name] stated.

'What?'Hideo asked confirming what he had just heard.

'I need a pep-talk as we get closer and closer to the that giant wheel I find myself becoming more and more nervous.' [Name] stated once again mentally losing his composure.

"You can do this." Hideo said starting their so called pep-talk.

'I can do this' [Name] repeated back.

"You are a man" Hideo said as he started to spiritually massage [Name]s shoulders.

'I am a man' [Name] thought as he and Ryūko entered their litter two seat chair.

"You can do this!" Hideo almost yelled.

' . . . I can't do this.' [Name] mentally stated as their seat lifted off the ground. A couple of minutes passed before Hideo spoke up again.

"[Name] look at me." Hideo commanded and he turned to his ring. Suddenly his hand lunged forward and slammed into the left side of his face.

'Ow . . . I didn't know you could do that.' [Name] mentally stated as he peeled his hand off his face.

"Yeah it comes in handy." Hideo stated before he continued. "Now confess god damn it!"

With that said [Name] was prepared to do the deed.

"Hey Ryūko-chan. I need to tell you something." [Name] stated as he felt his heart go into over drive.

"Sure thing [Name]." Ryūko said looking at him.

"W-well you see the is." [Name] started but the rest died in his throat.

"Yeah come on the thing is what." Ryūko said trying to speed up the conversation.

"Well for a while I've had these." [Name] once again started but like last time couldn't finish.

"Had these what?" Ryūko asked a bit concerned. It was at this time that they started to let passengers off the ride.

"FUCK IT DUDE GO FOR IT!" Hideo screamed.

[Name] didn't think twice before he smashed his lips into Ryūko's. She was shocked to say the least I mean sure they had kissed before but not doing so when it wasn't an accident or apart from that game they had played.

[Name] then pulled away and awaited for the slap or punch or whatever he thought she had planned. "[Name] look at me." Ryūko commanded he did as told and turned towards her.

The first thing he noticed was that she had a slight tint of pink on her cheeks. "I can't believe I'm about to ask this but do you . . . think that maybe . . . you could do that again"

[Name]s brain went dead at this statement and the only word he was able to get out was "sure." He leaned in closer only this time much slower and like that few day ago their lips met twice in one day.

[Name] was in a world of his own right now. He felt as if his arms couldn't be ripped off and he wouldn't be able to tell. This moment was the best of his life he wanted this moment to lat forev-"ugh it's time for you two to get off."

As they separated [Name] gave the the man death glare. "Well that killed the mood." Was all Ryūko said as they exited the two seated.
