Okay. I just got bored again and I decided to write this chapter. I was going to write a chapter for untitled, but nothing came to mind. Instead I got this huge urge to write this chapter. You know the 'disclaimer'. Honestly, I wouldn't want to own Inuyasha, because it takes soo much work!! Call me lazy, but what the heck! I better shut up.

The Big Switcheroo

Pre-B-Day

"MORNING SLEEPY HEAD!!!" shouted Miroku.

Kagome groaned. She whimpered and turned the other direction. Away from the racket. Unfortunately, it failed as Sango came over to the other side of the bed. Kagome was now in the middle of Miroku and Sango.

"Kagome, wake up! C'mon, it's your birthday." Sango urged Kagome to wake up. She has an important schedule ahead of her. "I got your gifts!"

At that last comment, she suddenly rose up and had huge eyes. "Gifts!"

Miroku chuckled and gave her a bear hug. "Happy birthday, Kags!" Sango eyed him carefully. She knew that he was cured of his 'problem' but it couldn't hurt to be alert.

Kagome was crushed. Her bear hug turned into a bear squeeze. As soon as Sango noticed that Kagome's face was purple, she pulled Miroku off of Kagome. "Miroku, don't kill Kagome on her birthday! God, get off!!"

Finally, Miroku released and chuckled again. "Heh. Not gonna happen, Sango. If I did kill her, I'd be next on your list. Wouldn't want that happening."

"Hey uh Sango, thanks. You know, for the gift." Kagome whispered as Miroku left.

"Girl, you haven't even got it yet."

"I know. But I do know that it came from you. And whatever comes from you is always awesome."

"Aw, thanks, cuz!" Sango hugged her.

"Well, I gotta get ready."

"Can I help you?! Please!!!"

"Uh, yeah sure." Kagome smiled and was ready to take orders from her cousin. Honestly, she didn't know anything about fashion. All her clothes are casual and comfortable. But she didn't care.

"Okay, get ready Kags, this is gonna hurt you more than it hurts me!"

"WHAT!?" Kagome shouted.

"I'm kidding. Just sit back, relax and enjoy."

"That's more like it." Kagome smiled.

"Kikyo honey, come have breakfast!"

Upstairs, Kikyo was already up and in stress. She had two lists of guests. "I'm not hungry mom!" she yelled.

"Kikyo, eat breakfast!"

"Not now, mom!"

Upstairs, Kikyo still had her pajamas and her room was a mess. Her party was going to start in 9 hours. Sure, she had time but not enough. She had to go to a photo shoot, go to a salon to fix her hair, visit her father and spend time with her boyfriend.

One and a half hour later, she finally got her room fixed and was hurrying to get ready for her photo shoot in the studio. She has 20 minutes. Kikyo headed to the bathroom and slipped on a pair of jeans, and a navy blue shirt. She left her hair in a messy pony tail. "Argh!" She was in stress because her mother was nagging her. "Kikyo! We're gonna be late for your photo shoot!"

Luckily, Kikyo arrived in the studio just in time. She placed her bag on her vanity and looked at herself. 'Stupid birthday! The only thing I get to do is make lists and get gifts.'

The rest of the hour, Kikyo posed and took a break. She posed and took a break. She posed and took another break. It was three o'clock and she remembered that her step grandmother is going to arrive soon. She hated her with a passion. Her step grandmother hogged all the attention. She came home immediately and there she was. Sitting on the couch.

"Kikyo, darling! Happy birthday, dearie!" she greeted as the old woman came over to hug her. Kikyo was about to gag.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Kagome screamed. There were lots of tangled hair on Kagome's head.

"Hold still! Kagome, do you ever brush your hair?" Sango asked. She got irritated by Kagome's hair. Her favorite brush was this close to breaking.

"Er…sometimes." Soon, Kagome's hair was silky smooth. Sango straightened it and curled it at the bottom.

"There we go! You look so pretty, cuz!" Sango complemented after looking at her in the mirror. She decided to put a little eye shadow to bring out her beautiful brown hues. "Kagome? Do you mind if I put just a little eye shadow, please!"

"Well, only that. No make up." Kagome said. She closed her eyes and allowed Sango to put eye shadow. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt amazed at how she looked and directly thanked Sango.

"Hey Sango, can I talk to you, girl to girl?"

"We're alone, aren't we?" Sango said. She sat on her bed and asked. "Okay, what is it?"

"Since you found your 'perfect guy'," Kagome quoted.

"Perfect guy? Oh please, Miroku is not perfect. He's a pervert but he's sweet sometimes, then he gets pervy again. So continue."

"Yeah, so what do I do? I mean, you know, find 'the guy'." Kagome asked uncomfortably.

"Well, cuz. Are you ready for romance?"

"Yes. Maybe. I don't know. How do I know if I am?"

"Oh, you know. It's like love at first sight. You have to let them come to you. Let them know you're special. They have to appreciate you and care for you. That's how you find the perfect guy."

"Okay. " Kagome said as she thanked her cousin for the advice and got ready to dress. Her dress was hung neatly on the door. Kagome grabbed it and slipped it on.

"By the way, Kagome. Ryo's here." Sango popped up. Kagome was surprised and blushed. 'He actually came! To my birthday!' Kagome was excited. 'Wait, if he's here, then Amaya's here!!!' She hurried up and ran downstairs.

Um...Just let me know if you read this chapter or not. Don't worry. the next chapter will be awesome, and i noticed that i haven't focused on Kikyo a lot...hehehe. should i just mention her only in the next chapter or what? but i cannot just leave her ignored (as much as i want to...lol jk) because she's important to the story. so if got ideas, review.
