Destined To Be Together
Chapter one – Kagome's Birthday---------------(The story)--------------
In a large neighborhood, lived many children and families. Inu yasha is the son of a rich family. His best friend, Kagome was not as rich as him, but they didn't mind. Their families didn't either; they were good friends, through thick and thin. If one would need money, the other would lend it to them. There were four in each family.
In the Takahashi family are Inu Taishou, Izayoi, Sesshomaru and Inu yasha. Even though Izayoi is human, Inu yasha, Sesshomaru and their father loves her dearly. Sesshomaru had accepted the fact that his mother was dead and treated Izayoi like she really was his mother. Unlike Sesshomaru, Inu yasha is a half demon. He was never picked on, but was treated with great respect. Everyone loved to play with him and be his friend.
In the Higurashi family are Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome, Souta and their Grandpa. Mr. Higurashi pasted away when Kagome was little. They lived an in shrine, across from the Takahashi mansion. Kagome has miko powers and uses them wisely. She has a kind heart and is loved by almost every person she knows.
"Inu yasha! Where are you taking me?" asked a curious Kagome who was being dragged away. She had to go home soon, to help with her birthday party and she was turning twelve.
"To celebrate your birthday of course. I know you don't like most of your birthdays cause it always crowded." He came to a halt in front of a clearing, which made Kagome crash into the backpack he was wearing. "Here we are."
"Wow, this place is so cool Inu. How did you discover it?" Kagome sat down on a rock, which looked the cleanest.
He stayed standing. "Well, remember the time when I got that new remote controller airplane?" She nodded, "remember when it hit the telephone pole and it flew all over the place?" She giggled when he spread out his arms and started to pretend to fly like an airplane. "I went to look for it in the forest behind your shrine and discover this place."
She smiled and got an idea. "Well, this is our secret place from now on." Kagome put a finger the her lips, "shhhh. Don't tell anyone."
"Of course not! This is our secret place after all."
Kagome looked around and examined the place even more. It had a mini waterfall about two meters high. There were all kinds of rocks surrounding the waterfall. Beside it was a hill; many beautiful white lilies grew on there. The waterfall could be a diving board. It was a good enough height and the water was pretty deep.
"Inu, how can this be my birthday without party decorations and cake?" He laughed, pinching her nose lightly.
"Silly goose. We don't need balloons and streamers, it's all ready your birthday wither you like it or not." She rubbed her nose and pouted.
"Well, when you turned fourteen, you got birthday cake, a chocolate one to."
"You want chocolate?"
"Yeah" He took off his backpack placing it on the ground carefully. He reached inside and pulled out a chocolate cupcake covered with chocolate icing.
He handed her the cupcake. "Here you go. I made it myself, with a little bit of help from mom that is."
Kagome giggled and happily accepted the cupcake. She took a big bite, and then another, "Hm...I need to taste it one more time." She ripped of the rapper, stuffing the whole thing inside her mouth.
"So, how is it?" She smiled.
"Sweet!" They both laughed. "Now, I want music, music for my birthday." He put a finger to his chin and looked around for some inspiration. He spotted a rock and a couple of sticks, roughly about the same size.
He ran over to the two sticks and picked them up. He walked over to a rock closest to Kagome and started to bang on it like it was a drum. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you."
She giggled. "That was awful!"
"Hey! You can't blame me for trying." He placed the sticks on a different rock and sat down on the rock he was playing on. "Now what else do you want?"
"I want my present!"
"I thought you would never ask." He ran quickly to a large rock and pulled something from behind it. It was a basket and a blue blanket over it. It started to squirm which Kagome cause not see, "shh. Stop moving, Kagome will see."
He placed it in her lap. "Open it."
Before she could reach the blanket, a snow white puppy jumped out and licked her cheek. "Wah? Hey, that tickles." She pulls the puppy away from her face. "Aw...she is so cute! Thanks so much Inu yasha!" Kagome hugged the puppy close to her.
He laughed and sat beside her. "It's a he, not a she. I'm glad you like him."
"Like him? I love him. How about I name you Inu?" She said to the puppy that was taking in his surrounding.
Inu yasha pouted. "Is that an insult or something?"
"No. This way, when I look at Inu, he will remind me of you."
"Fair enough."
"I think we should getting going. This is my best birthday ever!" She got up making Inu jump out of her lap and she hugged Inu yasha tightly, "Thank you so much!"
He was beginning to turn purple, "Kagome...if you don't let me go, I think we won't be able to celebrate your next birthday." He choked out.
She let him go. "Woops" Then she noticed Inu was gone and gasped. "Where's Inu?""Don't worry Kagome, we'll find him. Look!" She looked at where he was pointing. In the water was Inu swimming happily.
"Aw, cute." She said as Inu yasha ran over and tried to grab him. He accidentally slipped on a rock and fell into the water with a big splash.
She laughed when he came up from the water, soaked to the bone. She reach out an arm to help him out, "here, grab my hand." He smirked but she noticed to late. Before she knew it, she to was dragged into the water.
He was laughing like a maniac. "That was so not cool." She said with a frown.
"You should have...seen the...look on your face." He laughed out making her frown even deeper.
An idea came to her mind. "It's only right for me to get revenge right?" She pushed his head under water with all her might. He hadn't expected the surprised dunk so he grabbed onto the closest thing to him, Kagome. "Ah!"
When they resurfaced, both were panting, out of breath. "Ha! What goes around comes around."
"Come Inu yasha, I need to get home." She said as she climbed out of the water.
He grabbed Inu in his arms, "just a sec."
Once Inu was placed on the ground, he shook most of the water off his fur, getting Kagome and Inu yasha even more soaked. They both looked at each other, then the dry puppy and laughed. That's until Kagome sneezed, "achoo." She rubbed her nose, which was turning pink.
"Your going to catch a cold if we don't get back soon," she simply nodded making him sigh. "Here," he put his dry thin summer jacket around her, "this should keep you warm until we get back."
Kagome smiled. "Thanks," he smiled back.
Inu yasha gathered his things and Kagome had to get Inu back into the basket, making sure he didn't go in the water again. "All set?"
She patted Inu on the head, "yep."
"Great," he grabbed her hand. When he felt how cold it was, he got worried. Inu yasha brought her hand up to his cheek, which made her confused. "Your hand, it's so cold."
"Maybe your hand is just to warm." She teased.
"No really, they're cold. Come on, we got to get you back as soon as possible." He said in a worried tone and began walking back towards the shrine.
She gripped onto the basket a little harder; afraid it would fall out of her hand. "Come on Inu yasha, it's not like I'm- achoo."
"See. You're sneezing to much." Inu barked, meaning he agreed with Inu yasha on this. (What a smart doggy he is. )
"No really-achoo." She tried to protest, but was interrupted by another sneeze. She didn't want them to worry about her. Inu yasha sighed at her stubbornness.
-------(Back at Higurashi Shrine.)------
Inu yasha opened the door, "ladies first." He said bowing a bit making her giggle.
"Why thank you sir." The room was dark and they couldn't see anything. She didn't even realize the decoration above and below her. "Inu yasha hold on, I'll turn on the lights when I find them."
She reach out to turn on the lights but had to try a couple of times due to the darkness. Kagome felt the light switches and flicked them on. "There you-"
"SURPRISE!" Everyone jumped out of his or her hiding place. Confetti was thrown at Kagome and Inu yasha making her gasp.
"But I thought. How did?" She couldn't quite say the right words.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" Inu yasha teased making her pout.
"No. Thank you everyone."
"No problem Kagome. Now come and make your wish." Kagome's mom said walking up to her with a large birthday cake. It was a white marble cake decorated with pink, purple and blue flowers on the edge. 'Happy twelve Birthday Kagome' was written in green jelly in the center.
She was lost for words, turning back to Inu yasha, she asked, "you knew along didn't you? You dragged me out because of this?!" She said loudly and put Inu's basket down. Inu ran behind Inu yasha, surprised at the sudden raise of her voice.
"Well...eh..." he to didn't know what to say. "My mom asked me to."
She smiled, chuckling lightly. "Thank you so much everyone. Can I make my wish now?"
Mrs. Higurashi held the cake in front of her. "Anytime your ready."
She closed her eyes. 'I wish...I wish...I wish everyone here can find eternal happiness.' She opened them again, took a big breath and blew all but two candles out. She uses what air she had left, and blew the two remaining candles out. (The two last sentences can mean more than you think! Same as the Wish.) Everyone clapped. "Time to eat the cake!" Kagome shouted.
"Wait! Miroku and me want to give you your present first. We both chipped in the money." Said Sango who waved Miroku off to get whatever she has in stored for her friend. "Closes your eyes, and no peeking!"
"Okay ok." Kagome placed a hand over her eyes. Everyone but Inu yasha and Kagome knew what it was.
Miroku came back in with a basket and a green blanket over the present. He grabbed her hand, placing it on the basket's handle. "You can open your eyes now."
"I wonder," Kagome said guessing it was maybe another pet. When she lifted the blanket...yep. She was right. There, in the basket was another snow-white puppy. It was about the same size as Inu and same coat of white fur. Except, unlike Inu, this puppy had a little black on its tail. "Aw...another puppy. Thanks you guys. Now Inu can have someone to play with!" Noticing a green collar on around the dog's neck, Kagome asked, "Did you name it already?"
"Yep. Sorry Kagome. But we name it after you. Look for yourself!" Kagome lifted the heart shaped nametag. It said, 'Kags'.
"Cute name! Now can we have cake? All I had was a cupcake this morning."
"Hey! That cupcake was hard to make! Right mom?" Izayoi nodded.
"The mess in the kitchen was hard to clean up to." She complained. Inu yasha blush in embarrassment making everyone laugh.
"After cake, we open the other presents."
Kagome nodded, "yes mom!"
Mrs. Higurashi placed the cake on the coffee table while Inu Taishou came in with a knife to cut the cake. The first piece went to Kagome of course, but she wanted Inu yasha and the other to have cake first. She was very generous, that's why so was liked by many.
She held out the cake in front of Inu yasha, "Here, you eat first. I'm still kind of full from the cupcake."
Inu yasha knew her plan. "Oh...no you don't. It's your birthday and your going to eat the first piece." He said, pushing the cake back to her. Kagome was always too kind and generous in his prospect.
'Rats, he knows me to well.' She thought. "No, I insist you're the guest." She offered again making him narrow his eyes.
"You take it." He shoved the cake back to her with a little more force, causing the cake to wobble a little on the white plate.
She growled and shoved the cake back at him with more force than he had used. "You have it!"
Inu yasha growled back, "No you take it!" he shouted, shoving back the cake once more. "I'll get my own later."
"Fine, I'll give it to someone else," Kagome walked pasted him, holding the plate flat on her palm, like a waiter. Inu and Kags suddenly came running towards her, getting her feet tangle up and nearly falling, as well as the cake. Inu yasha turned just in time to catch the cake, with his face. "Eh...Inu yasha. You...you look so funny!"
She bursted out laughing, clenching her stomach. "Yo Inu yasha, you had cake yet? This is really good." Miroku said while walking over, and eating his piece of cake.
Sango came over as well and laughed just as hard as Kagome. "Don't worry Miroku," She continued laughing, "It looks like he likes it a lot!"
Miroku looked up from his cake, "Whoa, dude, I didn't know you liked it that much."
"This is not funny you guys." He growled and took off the cake. Cream was smeared everywhere on his face. "Good thing no one is taking a picture of me."
Sesshomaru came up to them and snapped the camera as much and he could. "Spoke to soon little brother. I'm putting this on the front of your picture book." He took one more and disappeared into the kitchen, probably going to show it to the adults.
He growled even more. "Sesshomaru! I'll get you back for this!"
"Calm down Inu yasha." Kagome wiped some cream off his cheek with her finger and popped it in her mouth. "Mmm...you were right Miroku, this tastes really good!" She was going to take some more off his cheek but he pulled back.
"Get your own cake!" He teased her.
"Ha! Now you want it."
"Yes I admit it. I want this 'piece' of cake. Now I want another one, this one is mushed up already." He complained, wiping more of the sweet substance off his face.
She smiled, "help yourself. I'm going to ask mom if she can take me to the pet store tomorrow. I need to get Inu and Kags some things."
He wiped the rest off the cream off his face and threw the napkin into the wastebasket. "I'll ask dad if I can take the limo. Then I can take you."
"Thanks Inu yasha."
"No prob." He said, cutting a piece of cake and started eating it.
"Well, if Kagome gets to go, I get to go as well!" said Sango, a little jealous because Kagome got to ride in the limo. He offers her rides all the time! Like...almost three times a week. That's because in the morning, when school starts, Kagome wants to wait for Inu yasha to walk to school together.
She tells Sango and Miroku to walk ahead of them, not wanting them to be late because of her. Inu yasha gets ready rather 'slowly' and not giving enough time for Kagome and him to walk to school. Then Inu yasha insists that they take the limo, which Kagome accepts. (She's not greedy though!)
"If Sango is going, I get to go to." Miroku also said.
She glared at him. "You don't always have to follow me you know." She whispered to him, "You also followed me to the pet store yesterday already! I made you chip in half the money for the puppy as your punishment."
"Oh no no no." He whispered back, "I helped pay for the puppy cause I was going to buy her one to. But then I saw you buy one, so no point in buying two and twice the money."
Sango narrowed her eyes, "I bet that's just some excuse for just following me."
"What was that Sango?" Kagome asked, not know what was so secret that they had to whisper. 'Maybe they have a secret place to like me and Inu yasha.' She thought, happy for them. But that wasn't the case...
Sango had a nervous expression on her face; she didn't want Kagome to know about her 'little talk' with Miroku. "Oh nothing. I was just thinking about asking my mom about buying a cat."
"Cool. I think Inu, Kags and your cat will be good friends. I hope."
Inu yasha stabbed his fork into his cake and patted her shoulder with the free hand that use to hold the fork. "Don't worry, they will." Both the dogs barked in responds. "You better get Inu a nametag tomorrow. You don't want him nameless do you?"
She shook her head, "No, of course not!" Kagome protest.
"Okay then, I'll pick Kagome up and then you guys ok?" He used the fork as a knife to cut a little piece of the cake off and then placed it into his mouth.
She smiled, seeing him enjoy the cake. She thinks that as long as others are happy, she will be to. "Pick me up at nine ok?"
Sango raised a brow. "Why nine? I mean, you don't have to wake that early. It's the summer holidays for god's sake."
"I want to get there early. It opens at eight thirty."
Inu yasha sighed. Another of Kagome's habit thingys. She's almost perfect in his eyes. Good at sports, good at math, health, science and other subjects. Nice, and generous, what more can be asked for? "I want to eat lunch first. How about I pick you guys up at noon and we all go to Mac Donald's for lunch? Don't worry Kagome, the pet store doesn't close until five tomorrow."
"Oh ok. I'm fine with it."
"Me too." Sango said cheerfully. She was going to ride in the Takahashi limo! The Takahashi were the riches in all of Tokyo and maybe the riches in the country. They own a glass company and make more than a two million a day. Sango and Miroku met Inu yasha because he was really and I mean really good friends with Kagome, as well as their families.
"Same here." Said Miroku.
"Great, now that we planned tomorrow, let's play tag! I'm it," Kagome tagged Inu yasha who just finished his cake. "Your it now Inu yasha! Try not to use your demon powers please." And with that, they all ran in different directions, away from Inu yasha.
"Huh? Hey! That was cheap Kagome!" Inu yasha threw his plastic plate and fork in the garbage and ran after Kagome to get revenge.

So? What do you think? Is it good? Bad? So so? Review and tell me! School has been pretty boring these days. But still...school is like, five days a week so that only leaves me with the weekends to write! Gasp Be on the look out for the next chapter. I won't be writing this one like I am with Sweet Revenge. This story might take a week and a half for an up date. Maybe sooner, maybe later. It all depends.
Until next time,
Baby Inu.
