AN: Hi Everyone! To all those following my other story, I am uber sorry about the delay. Life happened, and then Kagome and Inuyasha decided this story needed to be told and would not leave me alone about it. This is my first Inuyasha fanfic, so please read and review!
Kagome pulled her way through the well, barely escaping before Inuyasha could complain about her taking even more time away from the hunt for the Shikon no Tama in order for her to head back to her era. Maybe I can get to the party before he comes through the well himself, Kagome thought to herself. Heading toward her house, she briefly hoped that he would surprise her and show up, but she also knew that was a fool's hope. Try as she might, she couldn't really see Inuyasha coming to Yuka's party, no matter what.
"Mama, I'm home," she called when she opened the sliding glass door.
"Kagome! Yuka just called to make sure you were going to be able to come tonight. She seemed very worried. Are you performing again?"
Kagome smiled, "Yes Mama. She begged me for it since it's her birthday. She wanted this show way more than anything I could have gotten for her from a store."
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "Good dear. It's been a while since you've done it, and we all know how much you love to perform. Go take a bath and I'll call Yuka to make sure she knows."
"Thanks Mama." Kagome headed up the stairs, intent on a good bath and getting ready for her friend's Sweet 16.

Hours later, just around dusk, Inuyasha pulled himself out of the Hidden Well. He had noticed that Kagome's scent was covered in anxiety, and he intended to find out why. He had barely made it out of the well house, however, before he was spotted by Kagome's mother.
"Oh Inuyasha. Good. You can go see Kagome perform and let us all know how it was."
Perform? What the hell is she talking about? Inuyasha's mind was a blur, though, thankfully, nothing came out of his mouth for once.
"Judging by the look on your face, she didn't tell you. Well, come on into the house and we'll get you into the other clothes and I'll drop you off." With that, Mrs. Higurashi walked back to the house, not checking if Inuyasha was following her.
Arrggh. I HATE those damn clothes. This had better be worth it, Inuyasha silently grumbled to himself as he followed Mrs. Higurashi, not admitting to even himself that he was a little curious about what was going on at the party.
