Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but do you think Rumiko Takahashi is willing to adopt me??? ^_^;

A/N: Alright, somebody define fluff for me. I haven't seen the word around enough to completely know what it is, but I have a feeling of what it might be. So somebody just tell me so I'll know for sure, alright?

Happy Birthday!

Chapter 2 - I Don't Want To!

A surge of mystical power was surrounding the couple after they had jumped into the well. After they'd no longer felt the power, the miko started to climb out of the well until the hanyou picked her up. Kagome simply kept on blushing well after Inuyasha had jumped out of the well and placed her back on the ground. As they walked out of the mini-shrine and towards the house, Inuyasha hated the fact that the full moon was out, but was glad that Kagome seemed to be interested in the ground all of a sudden since he started blushing himself once he realized his earlier actions.

As soon as Kagome opened to door to her house, she was greeted by her grandfather along with a "Oh, Kagome, you're back! That's great, because I have this new-"

"Nee-chan! You brought Inuyasha-nii-chan with you!" shouted the excited Souta, interupting the old man as he sped down the stairs. "Can he-"

"Kagome, dinner is already over, but you may heat some up. Although, it may be better if the two of you take a bath first," suggested Ms. Higurashi as she noticed the mud prints that Inuyasha seemed to have left behind him. "A bath is already drawn, so you may go ahead."

The couple could only stare as the family bombarded them earlier with their comments and sweatdropped as they went back to whatever they were doing as quickly as they had appeared beforehand. That is, all except for Souta, who only kept on staring at the hanyou.

"Um, Inuyasha, maybe you should go take a bath first," suggested Kagome, noticing Souta's gaze.

"Wha? Nuh-uh. Last time you had me take a bath in this house, my skin was almost cooked from that hot water!" shouted Inuyasha, while crossing his arms as a sign of the bath refusal.

"But you're covered with dirt from head to toe so you need to take a bath."

"Gee, I wonder whose fault it was that I got this way."

"Eh heh... Nani? Do you need me to wash you instead!?" Kagome retorted while putting her hands on her hips.

"Urk... Like I need a woman to clean myself. Keh!" Inuyasha turned his head away from Kagome. 'Bet that perverted monk would love it though,' thought both Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Anou, Inuyasha-nii-chan. I can take a bath with you..." Souta piped up, wanting to stop the fight in front of him.

"Hey kid, it was because I took a bath with you last time that I almost burnt my skin off-"

"Inuyasha! Osuwari!" *thud* "Don't be so rude to Souta. And how did you get from cooking your skin to burning your skin off?"

"Stupid, wench. You know what I mean."

Mrs. Higurashi suddenly pop her head into the foyer, smiled and said, "Inuyasha. I would appretiate it if you don't call my daughter that word. If you do, I can make sure those cute ears of yours will never twitch again. Now go ahead and take your bath. The water isn't as hot as you make it seem." And with that, she left, leaving the frightened trio, only Inuyasha had a stronger look of fear on his face.

"K-kagome?"

"H-hai?"

"Is your mother always like this?"

"No, this is the first time I've seen Mama like this. But then again, this is the first time someone with an attitude like yours came to our house."

"Keh!" However, Souta noticed that as Inuyasha stood up, the hanyou's legs seemed to be trembling a little bit. 'I'd be scared too but if I was threatened to have my ears chopped off, especially by someone like my mother,' thought Souta. [Yes, maybe a bit OOC for Inuyasha, but couldn't help it! Uh-oh, angry Inuyasha fans... *flees, leaving behind a cloud of dust for the angry mob.*]

"Come, Inuyasha-nii-chan. Let's go take our baths now," said Souta, dragging the hanyou along, not putting much of a resistance. Kagome watched the boys disappear down the hallway and started giggling as soon as she heard the doors close. 'That's the first time Inuyasha was frightened by a mere human... I wonder if I should invite him over more often...' thought Kagome, as she walked towards her own room to find a change of clothes. That is until she heard shouts from the bathroom.

"That's freezing cold!"

"That's what I told you!"

"No, you didn't!"

"And we still need to wash the dirt out of your hair!"

"Not with that cold water you're not."

"Fine, here."

"Now that's freaking hot!"

"Nee-chan! I need some help!"

"Osuwari!!!"

*thud*

"Arigato, nee-chan!"

"Wench."

"Inuyasha, what did you call my daughter?"

"Urk... Uh... nothing at all."

"Alright, then. And Souta, you better make the water warm for Inuyasha."

"Hai!" The only sounds left over were Inuyasha' incoherent mumblings and water being poured.

AN: Muahahahah! Yes, I'm ending it here. Gotta catch up on my readings for class first. From the looks of things, I might have another chappie up in about two days or so, so don't go away!!! Uh-oh, that mob is coming back. Err.. *looks to the left* Uhh... *looks to the right* Kuso... I'm dead... HELP!!!

daniel-gundam: LOL! What do you know! I did get the season i wanted! I was only skiming through the 1st episode to check the background; guess I should have just watched the whole thing again... Oh well... Also, I don't have the 3rd manga... *sniff*

Menchi-Pie: "Await" isn't weird. It works in the sentence anyway. Although, let's see if you think Inuyasha is OOC in this chapter... ^_^;

Erica: Yeah, I haven't read any other fanfics that was birthday related and noticed a lot of Christmas ones. Also, I had several friends whose birthdays are coming up, so yeah, idea came from that... And with romance, doesn't fluff usually come with it? Oh and, none of my friends are really into fanfics like I am, so everything here is from me and me only, including double checking the grammar... *sigh*

Bunny: Yes, this is my first Inuyasha fanfic, although not my first at story writing (mostly original). But most of the earlier works were incomplete, cause they usually starts to suck halfway through so I'd just stop. I've been meaning to read "Over the Edge", but I'll have to wait till I get my essay done and over with... I hate essays...

burnsybabe: Simply a huge fan or are you going to claim to be the #1 fan?

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Nankinmai - *limps in with a leg cast and neck brace* Well, you can tell that I wasn't able to escape from that mob. I was never the athletic type anyway.

Inuyasha - Keh! Serves you right for making my legs tremble!

Nankinmai - *angelic face* But I have no control over you...

Inuyasha - Stop lying, wench.

Nankinmai - Then stop being a baka yarou.

Inuyasha - Then stop being a darashinai.

Nankinmai - Then stop being a hentai.

Inuyasha - Don't you dare call me that!

Nankinmai - Then you shouldn't have call me a-

*shouting continues in the backgroud*

Kagome - This is going to take forever. If you want to know what some of the Japanese terms are above, you may go to since Nankinmai seems to be distracted at the moment. Although, I don't think you'll find "baka yarou" so I'll just tell you... It's.. er... "stupid jerk." Ja ne!

Nankinmai - Dog turd!!!

Inuyasha - I said don't call me that!!!
