It was fall. Leaves were trapped on the sill. It was mildly cold. She looked at Miroku and Inuyasha talking across the room. They seemed so smiley and full of information. She thought of how many friends Inuyasha must have had. She wasn't even invited to this dumb party. She just didn't want to sit at home.
No one talked to her. She just stood in the corner on her knees, looking out the window. She kept silent, grateful to be away from her broken home. She frowned seeing a little girl of 6 holding hands with her dad. She wished she had a dad.
She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned and stood. It was Kikyo.
"You weren't invited Kagome!" She spat. "I'm telling on you!"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "What have i ever done to you? Can't you be nice to me? I don't want inuyasha, you can have him, just stop bothering me all of the time."
Kikyo fumbled for words. "I don't want inuyasha either." She said setting her plastic cup of apple juice down on an end table. "He's got someone already. I think her name is uh..." She picked up her juice, took a gulp and put it back down and swallowed. "Uh... Giovani I think."
"Yuck." Kagome shook her head. "She's the one who crawls on the bathrooms' stalls' walls. She's like a spider or something..."
Kikyo nodded. "so anyways, i'm still telling on you."
Kagome thought she had gotten away with it by attempting to befriend kikyo, but Kikyo was just as worse as she was before the small talk. She nodded back and walked away. She felt like going up to Inuyasha and talking to him. But that would be dumb. She and inuyasha hardly knew each other. They had never engaged into a real conversation in their lives. He was always the person she saw though. At home, School, parties, everywhere. She and him met each other at the beginning of school and they liked each other. They always flirted. But it stopped one day when inuyasha got interested in the prettier girls, and his personality was a distant memory for her and she basically didn't know who he was.
The room became louder and a big knock in the side blew her thoughts away and she fell to the ground. She quickly sat up, confused.
Inuyasha was on his knees next to her blushing and all the kids were laughing. She didn't understand what was so funny. She stood and inuyasha did the same. Inuyasha pushed past the crowd and shoved miroku with a grin.
Then everything went quiet as the birthday girl walked up to Kagome. she sneered meanly and she held a glass cup filled with hawaiian punch.
"Where's your invitation?" She asked folding her arms.
Everyone looked at Kagome intently.
"At home..." She blushed and hunched over, embarrassed at all of the eyes on her. "I didn't bring it, but you invited me. I know it." She felt guilty for lying.
The girl rolled her eyes. "What color was the card?"
She started to answer but she heard someone whisper 'Yellow!' and she repeated it. "Yellow." She felt very lucky.
The girl glared and splashed the juice on her and threw the cup at her, and it smashed into small glass shardson her shoulder. "Wrong-- It was Pink."
The room was in an uproar and everyone laughed at her. She shook her head and faced everyone. The only person she saw who wasn't laughing was Inuyasha.
