Chapter 4:
By the time Inuyahsa, Miroku, and Sango all got downstairs, a lot of people had shown up. Inuyasha scanned the room, looking for Kagome. He found her sitting ont he couch next to Hojo as she held a soda and was snacking on chips while talk to him.
People were everywhere in the room, stand around, sitting, and everyone was talking while music blasted from the speakers. It was simple pop music, like Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. Inuyasha knew the music would later on so everyone could actually do some dancing. But there were still the few crazy party people there who were dancing to even the music playing now.
This is gonna be fun... Inuyasha thought as he eyed the people. "I'll be right back guys!" Inuyasha told Miroku and Sango. Then hestarted to walk through the crowd to wish Kagome happy birthday, but was stopped when he saw his worst nightmare jump out in front of him.
Kikyo.
"Hay Inu-baby! I didn't think you'd be here!" She greeted him over the music.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and let out a heavy sigh. He really didn't want to deal with this. And what's Kikyo doing here anyway? Kagome wouldn't invite her. Would she? Inuyasha thought. "I live here Kikyo. Now what are you doing here? Were you invited?" Inuyasha asked her.
"I'm here to party. And or coarse i wasn't invite. You don't have to be invite to come to a party like this. I just heard about it, and thought it would be fun." Kikyo told him. Then she placed a finger under his chin. "Especially since you're here." She said in a seductive voice. "Now come get a beer with me." She said.
"There no alcohol at this party Kikyo. My mother and uncle are here and are making sure of that." Inuyasha said as he grabbed Kikyo's wrist and pulled it from touching his skin. "But could you come with me real quick?" Inuyasha asked with a smirk, and watched as Kikyo's eyes lit up.
"Why, I'd go anywhere with you Inuyasha." Kikyo said., then followed as Inuysha still held her wrist and pulled her through the crowds, dissappearing out of Kagome's sight.
Where is Inuyasha taking Kikyo? Kagome thought. And what isKikyo doing atMy party? I swear, if Inuyasha invited her then he is so dead! Kagome thought as she stood up. "I'll be right back Hojo." She said, then stomped off after Inuyasha.
"Where are we going Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked. Then Inuyasha opened a door.
"Ladies first." Inuyasha said as he held out his held like a butler does to their master.
Kikyo's face lit up. Was this his room. Was Inuyasha really that muchin love with her? She collected herself quickly though and regained her composure, and glided through the door. Then Inuyasha slammed it behind her. It had been the back door or the house, which would take Kikyo to their backyard, which didn't have any fencing,and in turn, no choice but to cause Kikyo to leave the house, since she wasn't getting back in.
Then Inuyasha turned around to head back to the party when he saw Kagome stomping towards him. "Hey Birthday Girl!" Inuyasha greeted her with a smile, but then he noticed the pissed look on her face.
"Don't Birthday Girl me mister! Are you trying to ruin my party?" Kagome yelled. "How could you? You invited that... that... thing to our house, and stepped her nasty feet on our floors? Honestly Inuyasha! Have some sense! I hate that bitch, and you brought her into our house on my birthday! You... you... JERK!" She screamed at Inuyasha, and lucky the music was so loud that almost none of the guests heard her. But Inuyasha on the other hand had been holding his ears because she was so loud.
"I didn't invite her! Do you think I want to be around that woman after what she did to me?" Inuyasha yelled. "I was kicking her out of the house! I knew you hated her and would never invite her so I got rid of her! But I guess you don't care! Maybe I should just let her run around the house and ruin your party!"
"Don't you dare!" Kagome yelled at him. "Why don't you do us alll a favor and go join her?" Kagome screamed.
"Maybe I will! But what are ya gonna do then b-"
"Inuyasha and Kagome! What is going on in here?" Mom yelled at both of then sternly.
"She/He started it!" Kagome and Inuyasha said at the same time as they pointed to each other.
"I don't care who started it. Kagome, this is your party, and you have guests out there! This is not the time to be arguing! Now get in there and entertain our guests! Both of you!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled as she pointed a finger at the door that led back to the party.
"Yes Mother." Both chilren said at once as the slunked back to the party, but both instantly brightened up when they saw someone they both had missed so much. "Thorn!" They both yelled at the same time as they tackle a girl abouttwo years lder than them,who had dark blue hair and golden eyes like Inuyasha's. She wore a pair ofblack jeans that fit loose around her waistwith a studded belt and an aqua blue tube tope with a pair of Vans sneakers with a black studded cuff around her wrist. Her make-up was dark, with black lipstick, black eye shadow, black nail polish,and she was a little on the pale side, but still looked beautiful with all that make-up on.
"Hey little cousins!" She said as she gave each of then noogies real quick, and everyone circled thenm and stared at the three. Then each of them stood and brushed themselves off. "Well, it looks like the party can start now that I'm here!" Thron exclaimed with a smile. "Hey everyone!" She said hi to all, knowing they all knew her since she used to go to the same school as most of them. Then she turned to Kagome. "So how's the birthday girl? Huh?" Thorn asked.
"Happier now that you're here Thorn!" Kagome said with a smile.
"Just happier? You should be happiest when you're around me!" Thorn exclaimed. "So where's this Hoho dude you tell me about?" Which made Inuyasha laughed harder than anything.
Kagome smiled slilghtly at her cousin. "His name is Hojo." Kagome said.
"Oh! Sorry! So where is he? I gotta meet him and make sure he's good enough for ya!" Thorn said.
"He's right over on the couch." Kagome said as she pointed to him, but Thorn was already gone, and Kagome was following her while left and went to hang out with Miroku and Sango.
Thorn walked up to Hojo and stood in front of him. "Hello?" Hojo greeted Thorn. "Are you Thorn?" He asked.
"Yeah! Good to meet 'cha Hobo!" Thorn greeted Hojo, and Kagome stood behind her with a shocked expression on her face. "How's it goin'?"
"Umm... My name is Hojo." Hojo corrected her.
Then Thorn slapped a hand over her mouth. "Oh my God. I'm so sorry Hojo." Thorn apologized. "I'm really bad with names." She said with a smile.
"It's alright." Hojo said. "So you're Kagome cousin?"
"In the flesh." Thorn replied.
"You look nothing alike though. Not even remotely related." Hojo said with a smile.
"Are cousins supposed to look that much alike?" Thorn asked Kagome, but Kagome only shrugged. "Sorry if Kagome doesn't look like me." She said witha smile. "But we each got our own style."
"I actually would have guessed you were Inuyasha's cousin more easily." Hojo commented.
"Huh?" Kagome and Thorn both said at once.
"I don't know why. You just look more like you're related to him than Kagome." Hojo explained.
Thorn looked at him skeptically. "Well, thanks for that." She said with a smile, but you couldn't tell it was fake. She was struggling not to punch this kid to knock some sense into him. "It was nice talkin' to ya." Then she turned to Kagome. "I'll talk to you later. Now I'm goin' to the kitchen so I don't hurt someone..." Thorn told Kagome before she walked off.
Kagome tooka second to take that in. Then she put on a smile and looked at Hojo. "Heh. You gotta love her." Kagome chuckled, then went back to sitting with Hojo and talking to him.
