When Kagome woke on the morning of the third of August a strange feeling caught the pit of her stomache. Then she relized that the strange feeling was joy. For today was her birthday! She had awaited this moment for so 365 days! Kagome streached and yawned, causing the blankets to fall to the ground. She jumped out of bed and went to her dresser. Inside she grabed a black mini skirt and silky red blouse. Once dressed, she opened the door and hopped down the stairs to the kitchen. In the stairway she could smell the scent of pancakes and orange juice. through the doorway Kagome saw her mother bent over a frying pan. The room was filled with smoke and the walls with batter. Kagome sat at the table and waited for her mother to turn around. When she did, she let out a yell and threw the pancake into the air so it stuck to the cealing. Kagome glanced at the pancake and sipped her orange juice.

"Good morning mom." She said through her glass. Her mother caught her breath and sat across from her.

" Happy birthday honey." She said more to the pancake than to Kagome. Kagome didn't mind much. Her mom had been acting wierd all week. As Kagome started to slice the mountain of pancakes in front of her Sota came thumping down the stairs and swiped the pancakes from her. Kagome blinked at the table cloth and rose from her seat.

"Good morning Sota, you twirp." She ruffled his hair as she walked out the door.

" Bye Kagome!" Her mother shouted after her.

Kagome closed the door and trudged through the dew drops on the ground. The crisp morning made her glad she was alive. As she approached the shrine a chubby ball of fur waddled torwards her and rubbed her legs. Kagome bent down and pet her cat, who was in desperate need of a trim. Kagome surveyed the scenery and sighed. It had been too long since she really appreciated the world around her. Her mind wandered to InuYasha. He was in a mood lately. It probibly had something to do with her birthday. He had been disappearing lately. Kagome had no idea where he went, and frankly didn't care. Kagome stood up and continued along the path to the shrine. "Meow!" Kagome accidently stepped on her cat's tail. "Oops, sorry kitty." With that she continued to walk. When Kagome entered the shrine she began to wonder weather or not to go to see InuYasha. But after quirelling with herself, she decided to go. I promised Shippo I would come today. He said he had something for me. She thought to herself. She looked down the well and jumped in. Kagome closed her eyes. When she open them she was kneeling in the forest. It was damp and misty today. Kagome got to her feet and started walking down the path.

The birds chirpped as Kagome strode on. She had an odd feeling in the pit of her gut. she ignored it as always and thought of the happier times she had with InuYasha. a picture developed in her head of him right after he rescued her from the Peach Man. Of corse back then she was more numb to her feelings. The topless InuYasha was saying something to her, but she couldn't hear it. She was so wrapped up in her InuYasha image that she walked into the real thing! Kagome shook her head and was about to scold him until she relized who it was.

"Hi InuYasha!" She chirpped as InuYasha gave her a quizzacal look. "Feh!" He answered her. The two of them then set of together in silence. Kagome was supprised that no one else was with InuYasha. It wasn't like Shippo to let InuYasha wonder off all by himself. Maybe they were planning something for her! Kagome shook her head. No. They would of hinted something as usual. The last time they wanted to suprise her Miroku blabbed to InuYasha and Kagome squeezed it out of him. her heart fell. Had they forgotten her birthday? This just wasn't happening! It couldn't!

"Kagome...are you okay?" InuYasha asked as Kagome started smacking her forehead repeatedly. Kagome ceised this action and walked on in silence. She wanted to yell at InuYasha for forgetting her birthday. How could he? She had made it clear all last month that her birthday was soon. Instead she just walked deep in sorrow.

"InuYasha? Aren't you forgetting something?" Kagome asked. InuYasha stopped dead. He knew he was in for it. He had to keep it under wraps though. He wouldn't tell her no matter what! InuYasha just said "No" and walked on. He wasn't about to tell Kagome that the rest of the gang was planning a suprise party for that afternoon. Until then InuYasha just had to keep her away. It was being held in InuYasha's favorite spot, an open field next to a sparkling stream. InuYasha went there after meeting Kagome. He thought it would be the perfect place for her to be on her special day.

In the woods with the rest of the group, still preparing for Kagome's Birthday party

Sango sat on the trunk of a cut down tree and continued sewing. She was making a new komono for Kagome's birthday. it was one of Sangos' talents. Unfortunatly Miroku wasn't helping with him gropping her all the time. The komono was getting worse with each grope. Shippo was on the other side of the clearing. He was watching, waiting for Songo to strike again. He scoped out Miroku hiding behind the tree nearest her. His hands were in possition. Sango picked up her boomerang and smacked him with it. Miroku fell over and started twitching. Shippo started giggling. Sango continued with her work. When Miroku regained consiounness Shippo went into the woods to find something to decorate the area a little better. He then relized it wouldn't make any bit of difference since the only thing in the woods was...well, woods. Nothing would stand out. He then returned to the opening and found Sango applauding her work. It was a beautiful purpley-blue komono with red flowers on it. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Sango folded and tied the komono with string. She had taken it from Kagome a week earlier. It looked so happy in it's plain wrapping, but it was special. It had meaning.

Miroku stared at the folded piece of clothing and then at Sango. He never really cherished her the way he should. She had talent. And she was beautiful. Miroku looked at the fallen debrie surrounding them. He ordered Shippo and Sango to go far away, fast. They flew on Kilala's back into the sky, and out of sight. Miroku opened up his wind tunnel and cleared away the dead trees and leaves. His air void came in handy...sometimes. The morning slowly turned to afternoon and Shippo and Sango had not returned. Miroku was worried that Sango might be in trouble. He was especialy worried because she was carring his child.

A/N: Just kidding!!!!!!!!!

Back to InuYasha and Kagome, who are arguing about something

"You forgot my birthday didn't you!?!?!?" Kagome was so mad she was about to shoot something with her arrow. InuYasha was sitting in a tree Indian style. He had to keep it to himself. You can't tell her! You can't! He was about to spill the beans. He just had to hold it in for a few more minuents. Just as long as she didn't "sit" him...again.

"Look I didn't forget. I just forgot to say it to you." InuYasha hadn't forgotten, honestly. He had been planning this day since her last birthday. He was in serious trouble now. that was all part of the plan, to get her boiling mad and then suprise her with the party. If only Sango and Shippo would get here soon...

"Admit it InuYasha! You forgot my birthday!" Her hands were in fists and she was stomping her feet so hard that her feet hent numb. She couldn't stay mad at him. He was so cute. Even for someone who forgot her birthday.

"No! I didn't forget!! I'm just-" he stopped himself before he could tell her. Only for a few more minuents!!!!!! Kagome stood there, wide eyed. Did InuYasha really not forget her birthday? Was he planning something? Yes! He was. He had to...he just hinted. She had to squeeze it out of him. She just had to know.

"Oh InuYasha! You did remember! Are you throwing a party like I wanted? You are aren't you?" She was so overwelmed with joy.

"Kagome! I didn't plan anything for your birthday, just a little "happy birthday" that's it!" He was so mad at himself! He couldn't believe what he just did. He just ruined to suprise! How stupid! You jerk! You're an ass!

"Oh come now InuYasha! You can tell me. I know what you have planned anyways. Miroku told me. For a small price of corse." She smiled menicingly. She was going to find out what happened no matter what!

"Kagome! Miroku didn't tell you anything! You're making it up as always!" He knew the way her mind worked. She would do whatever it took to find out the most valuable information InuYasha had to offer. He was the most useful. He would spill after a few "sit"s. It was his weakness.

"Oh yeah? Sit boy!" She smirked at her own geniusness.InuYasha went crashing out of the tree and headfirst into the ground below. He hated that stupid necklace!

"Kagome! I hate you! I'll never tell you anything!! EVER!!!!!!" He knew he just had to endure this a little more. He could do it, he was brave.

"I'll drain it out of you InuYasha! You know I will. You can't beat me in an arguement!" Kagome was right though. Out of all the fights that they had Kagome had won all but one. And that arguement was about his age. Obviously he would know. She just tried to be right...all the time.

"Kagome! I told Miroku I wouldn't tell you. He was supposed to come get you anyhow. I had to beg him to come." InuYasha looked at her. Through the dirt he could see that tears were welling up in her eyes. He was so stupid some times.
