Disclaimer::: I do not own Inuyasha...... I'll never be the same again.
Chapter 2
Kagome stood in front of the well with Inuyasha at her side.
"I'll be right back Inuyasha. I have to take care of my brother for a while, and then I'll be right back."
Kagome put her hand to Inuyasha's face and said, "Happy Birthday."
She then jumped through the well.
* * *
Kagome looked at the top of the well amazed. She couldn't tell if the well had something over it or if it was just the roof of the shrine. Kagome climbed to the top of the well, and put her hand straight up.
"Ow!" She brought her hand back down and held it. She glared at the large piece of wood above her and began to push on it.
"Open.... Up... stupid... board! Aww!" Kagome lost her balance and fell right back into the well.
Inuyasha was sitting outside of the well when he saw a familiar glow.
"Kagome?"
Inuyasha looked down into the well and saw a familiar face.
"That was quick. Come up here."
"I can't. I haven't even been home yet."
"What?"
"The well in my time was blocked off. It was like someone put a wooden board over it and nailed it down. I need your help."
Inuyasha gave her a strange look and jumped on the edge of the well.
"So someone sealed the well?"
"I guess so," Kagome muttered climbing the well. They looked back down into it and said, "Let's go."
Inuyasha looked up at the top of the well. 'Yep. Someone most definitely closed the well off.'
"Oh well. I thought this was a big emergency."
"It is! Do you want a birthday present or not?!"
"You mean...... you were coming back to get me a present?"
Kagome sighed and stared at Inuyasha. "Yes."
Inuyasha stared at her for a bit more, and then jumped to the top of the well, wood flying everywhere.
"Come on Kagome!" Kagome climbed to the top of the well with Inuyasha.
"Come on in. I'm sure Sota will be happy to see you."
"Uh, sure."
* * *
Kagome opened the door to her house and looked around.
"Sota?"
Kagome noticed the TV running and walked over to the couch.
"Sota?"
"Leave me alone!!"
Kagome took a step backwards as she heard her little brother yelling at her.
"Aw. Sota... I'm sorry I wasn't here when you woke up."
"I bet you are," he muttered.
"Hey! What's that suppose to mean?"
"It means you're always in that stupid feudal era with that stupid demon instead of here with me!!"
Sota removed the cover from around him, and Kagome could tell he had been crying all morning. His face was tear stained, and his eyes were red.
"How come you don't stay here anymore sis? I feel like an only child now...."
Kagome frowned and wrapped her arms around her little brother.
"I'm sorry Sota. But as soon as we finish collecting the jewel shards, I'll come home, and we can hang out together all the time."
She froze as she realized what she had just said. She turned around and saw Inuyasha standing there with a hurt expression on his face.
"Inuyasha's here?"
"So that's it Kagome? As soon as you're finished, you're leaving...?"
Kagome shook her head. "No Inuyasha! I meant to say..."
"What did you mean?" Kagome looked down at Sota and she began to bite her lip. Sota escaped her grasp and ran up to his room and slammed it.
"Sota!" Kagome turned around to see that Inuyasha was gone as well.
She put her hands over her head and fell to the ground. 'Now everybody is mad at me...'
* * *
Inuyasha sat on top of Kagome's roof looking off toward the noisy city.
'So that's it Kagome...? After you're finished collecting the shards... you're leaving us? But I thought you wanted to be............... with me...'
* * *
Sota sat in his room going through a photo album of him and Kagome.
'Kagome...... you can't leave us... can you? I mean, you are our family, but... What if you want to live with Inuyasha? I might not see you again...'
Sota began to put the photo album away under his bed, but a picture fell out. It was a picture he remembered very clearly. It was a picture of him and Kagome. He was just starting Kindergarten, and Kagome was starting the fifth grade. She had her arms wrapped around his shoulders and a piece sign up. Sota was looking very terrified, but when he had found out he would be with his sister, he was very happy. His sister had always been there for him, and had always made things feel better. She couldn't leave him, she just couldn't.
* * *
Kagome walked outside of the house with a small black purse around her hand, blue jean shorts on, and a black T-shirt.
"Inuyasha," she whispered to herself. "Please don't be cross with me. I just wanted my brother to feel better..."
She then walked down the shrine steps onto the sidewalk.
"Huh? Where is she going?" Inuyasha jumped down the shrine steps gracefully, and began to pursue Kagome.
He stopped as he felt someone tugging on his shirt.
"Huh?"
"Hey mister. You have funny ears. You look like a cat."
Inuyasha made a funny face and glared at the little kid. "I'm a dog demon! Not a cat!" he yelled between gritted teeth. He stared at the little boys head and noticed he had a hat on himself. He began to smile.
"Okay then. You won't mind if I borrow your hat then." Inuyasha grabbed the kid's hat and began to sprint after Kagome.
"Hey. I liked that hat!"
* * *
Inuyasha followed Kagome to a store that had a large smiley face on the top of the building and had the words 'Bobby's fresh bakery,' on top. He stood outside of the store and watched Kagome through the glass window.
"How can I help you miss?"
"Now what flavor cake does Inuyasha like? Chocolate or Vanilla. I wish I would have asked him."
"We have a special today miss. Half vanilla half chocolate for half price."
"Oh really!! Yah! I'm so happy! Thank you so much!"
"What would you like written on it mam?" the baker asked kindly.
"Um, how about: Happy Birthday Inuyasha. From all of us."
"Okay mam. That will be $21 please." Kagome pulled out a credit card and handed it to the man.
"It will be ready in one hour."
"Thanks!" Kagome began to run outside, but the man stopped her.
"Wait! I can't give you your cake if I don't have your name."
"Oh, sorry!" So Kagome told the man everything he needed to know and then left. Inuyasha jumped on top of the building when Kagome came out, and followed her from there.
'Where are you going now Kagome?'
Inuyasha came to a halt as Kagome ran inside of another store. This one had the words 'Sick and Needy' on them.
She was in there for about twenty minutes, and she finally came out with a paper bag. He then followed her to a place that said 'Ice Creams.' Inuyasha had heard of ice cream from Kagome and it sounded really good. He sighed and sat down on the bench outside of the small store. He wasn't even concentrating on Kagome's conversation this time, and that's why he didn't notice Kagome come out and sit next to him.
"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha jumped at hearing his name.
"Kagome?!"
"What are you doing here?"
"I, um, followed you."
Kagome sighed and said, "Now it won't be a surprise!"
Inuyasha looked at her curiously, but didn't feel like asking. He swung his head back and closed his eyes.
"Here." Inuyasha opened his eyes when he heard Kagome say his name. "I got an ice cream for you."
Inuyasha smiled and took the ice cream from her.
"Hey Inuyasha."
"Yeah?"
"I kind of wanted to do one last thing before I went home. Could you go to my house and wait for me there please?"
For one second Inuyasha looked sad that he couldn't stay with Kagome, but said yes anyway, and sped off.
'I'm sorry Inuyasha.'
