A heavy sighed escaped Inu-yasha's lips as he fell onto his bed. He had just got back from running errands with Sango. They had visited at least a 100 stores, or at least that's what his feet said. But he did not complain, he knew how much this Party meant to Sango and Miroku.
He did nothing that would upset them, or at least he tried. They were the ones that let him stay with them, they saw him as a equal. They did not treat them more or less, then any human deserves. For that he was thankful.
Ever since he was little he was shunned and cursed for being a hanyou. But his mom still cared, she loved him and protected him, that's why he had tried to kill himself a few times after she died. But Miroku was there and be-friended him. they had been best friends ever since.
Then Sango came into Miroku's life. When Inu-yasha first met her, she did not scream or gasp she greeted him and smiled. He sighed again at the memories of his friends.
He was happy here, he had friends who did not treat him different, he felt like they were family. Yet something was missing. His heart felt like a big puzzle that was almost completed, except for 1 piece. That piece had not been found yet. He sighed again and closed his eyes.
***********************************
He woke to the sharp rapping on the door. He lifted his head to look at the door, then closed his eyes.
"Come in!" he said, resting an arm across his eyes. He heard the door knob turn, then a soft voice came in.
"Dinner's ready Inu-yasha, but if you were sleeping, or about to we can save you some." said Sango, as she stepped inside the room.
Inu-yasha was surprised. It could not have been dinner time already. Could it? He mumbled something before sitting up.
"What time is it?" he questioned.
"6:47 p.m."
He was surprised that he had slept that long. It only felt like minutes when really it was hours. He rubbed his head, finding he had a horrible headache.
"I'll be down in a minute or two, feel free to start without me." he said as he stood up. Sango nodded her head and left. Inu-yasha walked out of the room and across the hall to the bathroom. There he opened the medicine cabnit and pulled out 2 excedrin and swallowed them down.
Then he washed his hands and splashed cool water onto his face, then toweled off. As he walked down the large hallway to the stairs that would lead down to the dining room, he ran a hand through his silver hair. Then he scratched his dog ears, and let out a sigh.
"Inu-yasha! Glad you could make it!" came Miroku's voice as he entered the large room. Inu-yasha smiled and walked over to sit on the left hand side of Miroku, and across Sango. After he sat down a Servant came in with a tray full of food and set it down before him. Inu-yasha thanked him then began eating.
"Sango said that you got quite a bit of shopping done today!" said Miroku. "She says we have all we need!" then he drank some sake.
"Yeah, we did a lot of shopping." he replied as he stirred his food around his plate. He ate a few bites and Miroku went on talking. Inu-yasha's train of reality was de-railed. He sat moving his food around, eating a few bites and drinking Sake. He did not hear Miroku, he did not hear anything except the thumping of his own heart. He was just sitting in his own world.
"Inu-yasha? Hey1 Inu-Yasha!" yelled Miroku and Sango. Miroku ws waving a hand in front of Inu-yasha's face. That startled Inu-yasha.
"Oh, Uh, Yeah?" he asked his cheeks going pink.
"Are you feeling alright?" they questioned.
"Yeah, I just have a headache is all. I already took some Excedrin." he said as they nodded their heads.
"Well Sango and I are going out tomorrow to deliver invitations, after all there are only 5 days left till the party. So We were wondering if you would be able to handle the decorating tomorrow?" he said.
Inu-yasha sat for a moment or to before answering.
"Yes, I can do that."
"Great!" said Sango. "Oh and since you will be the one in charge, you can have it decorated however you would like." she said, smiling. Then the rest of dinner went on with Miroku and Sango talking and Inu-yasha listining.

Inu-yasha climbed under the covers of his bed. Dinner was over, and Inu-yasha had just gotten out of his shower. His hair was still damp, but it did not bother him. He laid on his side and looked out the window across the room. The stars were shining brighter than the moon. And the trees, loomed against the windows.
He reached across the bed, to the little desk and turned on the little sound machine. The sounds of the outdoors, filled the room. He smiled at the sound. He liked the outdoors, he also liked the rain. So he would press the buttons for either one and slept peacefully to it. He lay for a few more minutes, before reaching across again to turn out the lamp.
Now the room was dark, except for the silver light that came from the stars and moon.
