Sango stretched her arms out and looked down at Miroku. She yawned, rubbed her eyes, glanced at Miroku and screamed.

Sango's eyes popped open. She was sitting next to Kagome at school. "Oh, good, it was just a dream." she sighed.

Miroku sat next to her. "What was just a dream?" he asked.

"Huh, oh, nothing." she blushed.

"Oh, Kagome, happy birthday." her handed her a box.

Kagome smiled and took the box. She opened it up to see chocolate.

"To ease the pain." Miroku joked.

Kagome rolled her eyes." Uh, Kagome, didn't I ask for vodka last year? Ugh. You're so forgetful." she said sarcastically.

All of a sudden Ayame popped up out of nowhere and sat down beside them. "I hate my life." she groaned.

Kagome arched a brow. "What happened?" she asked.

"I just asked Inuyasha out." she sighed.

Sango, Miroku, and Kagome's eyes opened wide. "YOU WHAT!" they all screamed at the same time. Kagome's voice was the loudest. "What'd he say?" she asked.

"That was the rest of it. Dude he said he had plans tonight." Ayame rested her head on her hand.

Sango pulled something out from her backpack. "Happy birthday Kamei-chan" she smiled.

Kagome took the present. Ayame sat up. "It's your birthday?" she asked.

Kagome shook her head. "You don't have to make a big deal about it all I'm doing is sitting around and watching sojo anime's all night." Kagome smiled. She opened the present. "What is it?" she asked.

"Sango and I got that for you, it comes with the present." Inuyasha answered and sat down, followed by Kouga.

"You guys know that I-" Inuyasha interrupted her. "Everybody, no matter how much of an idiot you've been to me, deserves to have a good birthday." he looked her in the eye.

Kagome blushed. Ayame noticed this.

"Oh look at that, Ms. Higurashi's blushing!" Inuyasha joked.

Kagome kicked Inuyasha in the shin. "Okay, oww..." Inuyasha held his shin, noticing that was the same place where she kicked him the other night.

Kagome looked at Kouga. Ayame looked at Inuyasha, Inuyasha at Kagome, Kagome was going back and forth between Inuyasha and Kouga, and Kouga at Kagome, Miroku at Sango, and Sango at the ceiling... she was deciding whether or not she liked Miroku. There was an awkward silence.

A boy selling school news papers walked by them. "I'll take one." Kagome smiled. On the front of it read "Talent Show May 30th."

Sango smiled. "You should do it Kagome, you've got a great voice." she complimented her.

"Oh really Kagome, sing something!" Ayame smiled.

"No, I couldn't" Kagome blushed.

"Uh C'mon Kagome!" Kouga urged.

"I don't know." she sighed.

"Please, Kagome..." Inuyasha begged.

"Do you think I should?" she asked.

Sango nodded. "You'd do great." she smiled.

"Okay then."

Wanna Be Me
Sprice92

Letting my hair down
Sitting in the rain
Driving way to fast
It all feels the same

I wanna cry for no good reason
Feel the changing of the season
But I can't get away
From my Yesterday

I Can't Hide that I can't lie
My spirit soars it flies
I can't everybody realize
That my heart it can't exceed
This world of make believe
Won't let me be

What I wanna be
Who I wanna be
Where I wanna be
I wanna be me

It's time
To live
In this fallible world we know of
It's time to uncover 'our secrets to the ones we love

But If my tears fall for a reason
Then the changing of the season
Will make my yesterday become today

I can't hide my lies
My spirit soars it flies
I can't make everybody realize

That my heart can't exceed
That this world of make believe
Won't let me be
What I wanna be
Who I wanna be
Where I wanna be
I wanna be free
Yeah oh oh oh no
Just wanna be me

Everyone stared in awe when Kagome finished the song. She opened her eyes to look at her five friends, then she blushed.

"Bravo!" Ayame cheered.

Sango smiled and clapped her fingerless gloves together. "See I told you." she gloated and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

Kagome sighed. "Sango the only way I'm gonna sing is if you and Ayame are by my side."

Ayame blinked. "W-Wait, I can't sing." she blushed.

Kagome shook her head. "You can play drums, I'll get someone to teach Sango and how to play guitar." She smiled.

"Miroku, Kouga and I will teach you." Inuyasha volunteered.

"It's settled then."

Inuyasha kissed Kagome's forehead. She moaned and opened her eyes. "Hey." she smiled.

"What's up?" Inuyasha asked.

"Just waiting for that big surprise." Kagome smiled. She sat up and stretched. She wore an orange short sleeve shirt that was covered up with white poncho and a long white skirt. Her hair was down, all natural.

She climbed out of her window, followed by Inuyasha. When they got to the ground she sighed. "So where are we going?" she asked.

"Put this on." Inuyasha said blindfolding her. He grabbed her hand. "Put your arms around my neck." he sighed.

Kagome did as told.

Inuyasha grabbed her legs. "What are you doing?" Kagome asked.

"Giving you a piggy back ride." Inuyasha replied. "You ready?" he asked.

Kagome smiled. "Yeah."

Inuyasha took off.

Inuyasha untied the blindfold. Kagome's eyes brightened at what she saw. A large room was lit with candles. Kagome gasped. "Where are we?" She asked.

"My room, you like it?" he asked.

Kagome blushed. She turned around to face Inuyasha. "Did you do this for me?" she asked.

"Oh no, I did it for that scarecrow, you know, the one on main street." he replied sarcastically. ((A/N: are there scarecrows in Japan... and if they're what do they use them for? O.o))

"Inuyasha Kisimura you are infallible." Kagome exclaimed. She jumped onto Inuyasha's bed. "You know we're not going to have sex." she stated.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Oh what a shame, the way you say it all the time, I figured you'd put out this time." he retorted.

Kagome smiled. "You're lucky I love you or other wise I would have hurt you by now." she joked.

Inuyasha lay down beside her. "What's been on your mind lately?" he asked.

Kagome shrugged. "Mostly you, and sometimes I think about homework." she answered as she lay on her back and lined her face up with his.

"So how have you liked your birthday so far?" Inuyasha asked.

"It's been pretty good so far." Kagome smiled. Inuyasha leaned over her and kissed her. Kagome blushed. ((A/n: she does that a lot, eh?))

She wrapped her arms around his neck. Inuyasha pulled away and began kissing her neck. "What are you doing?" Kagome asked... feeling a bit out of her comfort zone.

Inuyasha looked up at her. "What do you think I'm doing?" he asked.

"I dunno." she answered.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He began kissing her again. Kagome didn't fight him. She laid there and enjoyed. Inuyasha pulled away and examined what he had done.

"Uh, Kagome what if I did something something to you that could be bad be bad would you be mad?" he asked.

"Probably, why?" she asked.

"No reason." he sat up and leaned against his headboard. Inuyasha bit his lip and remember something. "Want your birthday present?" he asked.

"I thought this was it." Kagome blinked.

"Pssh. No." he answered and stood up. Kagome sat up and leaned against the headboard.

Inuyasha picked up a box and handed it to Kagome. It was emerald green, velvet and had the Chinese character love on it. "What is it?" Kagome asked.

"Open it." Was all Inuyasha said.

Kagome opened the box to see a bracelet covered with diamonds and in the middle was a butterfly pendant.

Kagome blushed. "I- I can't take this." she stuttered.

"No, take it, besides why would I keep something that was obviously made for you." Inuyasha placed it around her wrist.

Kagome smiled and admired her bracelet. "Inuyasha you are perfect!" she smiled and kissed him softly.
