The Curse of a Half-Demon
-Chapter 25-
The Hanyou's Birthday (Next Day)
"Kagome...Sango, Shippo! Come over here!" Commanded Miroku. He called everyone except Inuyasha to meet outside so Inuyasha can't hear. He's still asleep anyway...in Kagome's room. Maybe he feels safer in there then with Souta.
"What is it, Miroku?" Asked Sango with her arms crossed.
"Do you all have ANY idea who's special day it is?" Asked Miroku.
"No, who's the person and what's the special day?" Questioned Shippo.
"Well, this is what Inuyasha told me last night. Today is the anniversary of Inuyasha's parents death..."
"Oh...no wonder he's sleeping in," said Kagome.
"Wait! That's not all, it's also his..."
"His...what?" Questioned everybody.
"B-Birthday!"
"What!? His parents died on his birthday!? That's so sad...How old is he going to be today?" Asked Kagome.
"I have no idea! [Actually, I don't want to tell her his real age!]" Said Miroku.
"We should plan a party!"
"What?"
"Yeah! With cake, and maybe some games!" Said Shippo.
"If we play a game, he's probably going to suggest pin the fox!" Said Sango.
"Oh...no games then!" That made Shippo scared of games if he ever played them with Inuyasha. There's NO WAY he would play with Inuyasha.
"What time should we have it?" Asked Kagome.
"I was thinking 7 tonight! Because usually Inuyasha is a little tired and hardly anything can get him pissed or upset," answered Miroku.
"I know just the present to give him!" Said Kagome.
"Sango! I need to borrow Kirara for awhile! Is that okay?" Asked Miroku.
"Sure as long as you don't do anything stupid!" Answered Sango.
"I won't! I just need to run a little errand." Kirara transformed for Miroku so he can get a ride to who knows where! Miroku climbed on Kirara's back and she flew up to the air.
Sango looked up at them. "Make sure you be careful!!" Said Sango.
"[I knew she really cares for me!] I will! All right Kirara! Let's go!!" Said Miroku. Kirara flew off the direction Miroku was pointing at. Sango had a wierd look on her face.
"I hope Kirara will be okay!" Said Sango.
"I thought you were hoping for Miroku to be careful!" Said Kagome.
"No! I was telling that to Kirara!"
Kagome gave her a look. She looked down at Shippo who was looking at her. "What can I do?" Asked Shippo. She bend down to his level.
"You can set up the training times for Inuyasha's present! Sango can...give him.....what can you give him for his birthday?" Asked Kagome.
"I can give him some cleaning stuff to clean his Tetsusaiga! It can get dirty from the blood stains it gets. He'll need it to clean his face too!" Answered Sango. "It can wipe the dum smile he has on his face every time!"
"Yeah, yeah! Come on, we have to do something else too."
"Like what?"
"Bake a birthday cake!"
"What!? I'm not good at baking anything!!"
"I'll ask my mom to help us! Don't worry about it! Shippo! Make the schedule for training!!"
"Aye, aye! Captain!!" Said Shippo. (_ He must be watching too many pirate movies!)
*~*~
Inuyasha just woke up in Kagome's room...again!! He was on the floor, sitting up, back against Kagome's bed, a book in his lap...wait! A book? It was opened to a party with lots of balloons of different colors. He was looking at them last night while Kagome was sleeping. This was probably Kagome's birthday part when she turned 16.
A party with her family and a couple of friends....how nice to have so many people to care about you. That's what he thought, it is nice to have so many people to care him. He thought he would just die alone, but ever since Kagome ran into his life, he was happy...really happy to have a friend....and the love of his life.
But that was the problem. He can't tell Kagome about the curse. It'll just break her heart into little pieces. She would probably kick him out for lying to her or not telling her the whole story on why he's there. He thought he would never fall in love. But all the caring, the love, the fighting has brought him and Kagome together and make love....okay, maybe not that. But maybe one day he would marry her IF she says those three words. (_ And that's a big IF!!)
But here's the thing he hasn't thought of: What is he going to do IF he lives? (_ Please give me some suggestions! You never know there might be a second story of this! I'll tell you at the last chapter! So give me some ideas! And sorry for the long explaination about his love life. I needed to make the chapter longer! Please give me some ideas!)
"Hey! Mr. Desperate!!"
Inuyasha looked at who was at the door. It was Mr. Shrimp with the tail at the door. (_ We all know who it is!!)
"Shut up, Boatpo!!" Commaded Inuyasha.
"Man! Who made you the king of the world!?" Asked Shippo. "Anyway! Didn't I said my name is SHIPPO!?"
"I'm sorry, but did you say something!?"
"Hey! You're not suppose to ignore me just because I'm a little adult!"
"Adult? I thought you were a shrimp!" He laughed at him.
"That's not funny!"
"Yes it is!!"
"Fine! I guess you won't know the training schedule..." He was about to walk out of the room and into the hallway.
"Training schedule? Hey, come back here! Boatpo!!"
That made Boatpo...ah, I mean Shippo angry. Which created a vein on his head and created fire in his eyes. "DIDN'T...I TELL YOU...NOT TO...CALL ME...THAT!?"
"Hmm...maybe!"
"THAT'S IT!! PUNISHMENT TIME ONCE AGAIN!!"
Shippo tried to jump on Inuyasha's head but Inuyasha's hand grabbed his face. He saw a little piece of paper in his hand so he grabbed it and threw him on the bed. Inuyasha looked at the schedule...but it didn't seem right. Here's the schedule:
Tomorrow-9 o'clock start training, 10-break!, 11-back to training!, 12-nap time!, 1-5 more nap time!, 6-9 back to training! (_ Yup! It wasn't right at all!!)
"Shippo! What the heck is this!? You put to many breaks! We're suppose to have one or two breaks," said Inuyasha.
"You know me! I hate training with you!! So I would rather have lots of breaks then training!" Said Shippo.
Inuyasha grabbed his tail and faced him to his level. Shippo didn't like the glare in his eyes so he decided to shut up before Inuyasha has a chance to do something. Shippo pulled his eyes to look out the window so he won't look into Inuyasha's eyes.
Inuyasha threw him on the bed again and closed the picture book. He stood up and walked to the door. Shippo noticed that and tried to stop him.
"Where are you going?" Asked Shippo.
"Downstairs to see if Kagome made some breakfast!" Answered Inuyasha.
"Ah, I wouldn't go down there if I were you!"
Inuyasha looked at him with a confused look. "Why...?"
"Because, ah.....Kagome and Sango are....remodeling! It won't be finished until later tonight!"
"I'm just getting something to eat."
"No! I'll tell Kagome to bring something up!!" Shippo ran out of the room before Inuyasha had a chance to say anything. He ignored him and just stayed put in her room. Is THIS the way to treat him on his birthday!?
For so many years, he has been alone on his birthday. Not even Kagome is to come up here and eat breakfast with him. It'll always be like this to him. But that all changed when he heard a knock on the door. He turned his head just in time to see Kagome open the door with a tray of food.
Kagome was smiling at him. She put the tray on his lap and sat next to him. Well, he was wrong, she did came up here and have breakfast with him. The food looked great! Bacon, toast, rice, and stake! Inuyasha loves stake in the morning. He first started on the stake, his favorite.
"So, how is it?" Asked Kagome.
"You mean the stake? It's alright! Just the way I like it!" Answered Inuyasha, who continue's eating on the stake.
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
"No! Why would I lie!?"
"Just making sure! Usually men lie about their love ones cooking!"
"I'm not one of those men! I'm more like-"
"Stubborn, caring, loving, more of a fighting person who likes to get into fights, a pain-in-the-butt!"
"Okay! I get it! You don't have to keep describing me!"
"But I forgot a couple of things. You're nice, sweet, and honest....and warm!"
"[Warm!? What is she talking about!? Oh, wait! Now I remember...the many times I have hugged her and the time when I ACCIDENTLY slept with her!! I knew I shouldn't have done that!]"
Kagome rest her head on his shoulder while he was eating. She looked at the toast on the tray and grabbed it with her two fingers. She took a small bite off of it. Inuyasha stopped eating and watched her eating the toast.
Maybe this is another way she thinks Inuyasha is warm. It didn't matter, he likes it when she's around.
*~*~
"I hope they don't get into another fight!" Said Sango. "And why did she have to leave me in baking the cake!? She knows I can't bake!!"
"She knows you're just going to fight with Inuyasha too so she just went upstairs while you bake!" Said Shippo.
"I don't care, ok! Hmm...how long do I set it to? 30 min...no, I'll try one hour and 30 min! It says it here on the box anyway!"
She put the cake in the oven and set the timer to one hour and 30 min. Let's hope she doesn't burn the cake...or ruin it!
"You're going to learn how to cook when you get married, anyway. I can imagine you and Miroku marrying!" Said Shippo.
"Who said I was going to marry that pervert!?" Angered Sango.
"You DID say you loved him in front of EVERYBODY at church!! And Miroku told me he was going to propose to you."
Sango is shocked...is he really going to do that? She didn't want to get married...yet! She didn't want to have children...yet! She didn't want to sleep with Miroku every night for the rest of her life...yet! She better avoid Miroku for awhile.
"Sango...? Are you okay?" Asked Shippo.
"Yeah, why?" Answered Sango with a question.
"Because you put flour in your hair!" Shippo wanted to laugh but he waited until Sango realized she had flour in her hair. Sango ran to the bathroom downstairs and looked into the mirror. She couldn't believe it, she did this when she was thinking about the marriage thing!?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
*~*~
Inuyasha and Kagome heard the scream downstairs and was wondering what was going on. Kagome figured Sango must have ruined the cake or something like. She looked at Inuyasha.
"I'll be right back! Just stay here and....look at more of my pictures!" Said Kagome. She gave him the picture book and ran out of the room like what Shippo did. Inuyasha was very confused. Something is happening on his birthday, and he needed to know what!
So he just finished his breakfast before Kagome gets back up here. He put the tray aside as soon he was done eating. He looked at the picture book Kagome suggested, which were pictures of her and them...Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, some of them have Myoga, and himself and her.
But he wanted to find the picture with ONLY him and her. He looked more in the picture book to find it, but it wasn't there. Where was it? Did she went to make more copies? He didn't know, so he waited until the time was right.
How long has it been since they have fought? Oh yeah, yesterday when they met Totosai. He was hoping they both don't fight today because it was HIS special day. For once, he actually prayed for them not to fight.
*~*~ (Later that night at 7 PM!)
"Inuyasha! You can come downstairs now!" Said Kagome. She found Inuyasha taking a nap on her bed. He barely open his eyes and sat up. He rubbed his eyes so he can see better. When he could see better, he looked up at Kagome.
"What?" Questioned Inuyasha.
"I said you can come downstairs. Come on! I'll walk down with you!" She held out her hand to him with a smile on her face. Inuyasha looked at her hand and looked back at her face. He jumped off of her bed and took her hand. They walked out of her room and walked down the stairs to the living room.
But while he was getting closer downstairs, it started to get darker. He couldn't see very well, but it seemed like Kagome knew where she was going. When they got downstairs, he couldn't see ANYTHING!! But he trust Kagome to lead him to where ever they're going.
They stopped, why? He still felt Kagome's hand in his and was wondering what was going on.
"You wait here! I'll turn on the lights!" Said Kagome. He felt her hand slip away from his and just stood there, wondering what is going to happen next. He heard her footsteps left him and he didn't know what to do.
Then the lights turned on...
"SURPRISE!!"
He didn't believe what he saw. He saw ballons, cake with candles, birthday hats and all kinds of things. He wasn't use to it, but who cares! At least he knew how much his friends cared about him. Probably Miroku blabbed to them again.
"Happy birthday, Inuyasha!!" Said Kagome. He couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. "Something wrong?"
"No, nothings wrong! I just didn't know what to say," said Inuyasha.
"Well, you did say something! Come on! Let's get this party started! What do you want to do first Inuyasha!?"
"Well, I want to have some cake, play games and whatever is after that!" Inuyasha sat in front of the cake with a smile on his face. He looked at the cake...there was only 15 candles.
"Sorry! I didn't know how old you were so I just put 15 of them on!" Said Kagome, like she was reading his mind. "Anyway, make a wish!" What is he!? A little kid!?
Inuyasha smiled at her, he knew exactly what kind of wish he wanted. He closed his eyes and made his wish.
"[The only thing I wished in the whole world is-to be free from Naraku's curse and live happily with Kagome and someday to marry her...and maybe have kids.]" Said Inuyasha. He open his eyes and blew out the candles. Everybody clapped as soon as he blew them out. They ate the cake right after that.
The games they played were BINGO, catch the fox demon (Of course that was Inuyasha's idea when Shippo pissed him off!) It was almost time to open the gifts he got. But he was so thirsty, so he wanted something to drink before he started to get his gifts.
"Here Inuyasha! Drink this!" Said Miroku. (_ Luckily, Kagome was in the bathroom when this happened!)
He handed him a cup, Inuyasha took a sniff at what it was. This scent was familiar but he can't put his finger on it. So he just to a drink of it. It made him a little bit dizzy.
"MIROKUUUUUUUUU!!! WHAT DID YOU GAVE HIM!?" Yelled Sango.
"I gave him sake!" Said Miroku.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?"
"That's sake? I wanna try!" Said Shippo. He took a cup and was about to drink.
"Wait, Shippo! Don't take it!" Said Miroku.
"Why?
"Because it's not good for you!"
"Aw..."
Kagome came in the living room with a happy smile. She raised her arms in the air and said, "TIME TO OPEN THE GIFTS!!" Shouted Kagome.
"Hey Miroku! Give me another cup!" Said Inuyasha, Miroku pour the sake in his cup and Inuyasha drank it fast. Luckily, Kagome was too busy of being happy and trying find Inuyasha's gift.
Inuyasha kept asking for more sake, Miroku gave him one more cup and that was it! Pretty soon he's going to be puking his guts out!
Miroku got his gift to Inuyasha. It was wrapped in a green cloth, he put it in Inuyasha's hands.
"This is actually from me and Shippo. It's something you wanted since yesterday..." Since he's drunk he can't remember what he wanted yesterday.
Inuyasha looked at it and was wondering what it was. Kagome and Sango were watching him. Inuyasha opened it very slowly and was slowly shocked...it was his Tetsusaiga!! He was happy.
"All right! Tetsusaiga is *hiccup!* back into the owner's *hiccup!* hands!" Said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha...? Are you alright?" Asked Kagome.
"Ah! He's fine, Kagome...just a little tired!" Said Sango. "Here Inuyasha! It's the spray and cloth I use to clean my Hiraikotsu! You can use it to clean Tetsusaiga to wash away the blood stains!" She handed him the cleaning stuff.
"Thanks Bango!" Said Inuyasha.
"It's SANGO!!"
"Whatever!" He tried to stood up to walk to Kagome who was standing next to the table. Miroku help him up by grabbing his arm and pull him up. When Inuyasha was able to stand, he walked over to Kagome. But when he got to her, he fell forward and put his arm over her left shoulder and his head landed on her right shoulder. He was still standing, he just needed Kagome's help to stand.
Kagome put her hand on his head to make sure he was alright. He lift up his head to look at her in the eye.
"So, what's your gift!?" Asked Inuyasha. Kagome smelled his breath, accidentally. It really STINKS!! Was he drinking sake? After she thought about it, his breath did smell like sake. He was drinking!!
Suddenly, she was filled with anger and she slapped him. The others blinked when she made the action. Inuyasha fell backwards and fell on his back.
"YOU IDIOT!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE DRINKING SAKE ON YOUR NIGHT!! I DON'T CARE IF YOU WERE THIRSTY OR NOT, YOU COULD'VE ASK FOR A SODA!!! BAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Shouted Kagome.
"I'm not an idiot!!" Said Inuyasha.
Kagome threw her present at Inuyasha, angrily. "IF YOU DONT ADMIT IT THEN YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!" She stomped her way upstairs with fire burning in her eyes. Before they all heard the door slammed, she had something to say. "AND I HOPE YOU LIKE THE PRESENT!!" That's when she slammed the door hard!!
Everybody looked at Inuyasha. He was still on the floor with the present on his face. Miroku and Sango got up to go home because they knew it's going to get ugly. Sango was angry at Miroku for giving Inuyasha the sake in the first place. Shippo went to Souta's room to play with Souta.
"You're also the idiot! What kind of monk are you!?" Yelled Sango. Inuyasha didn't hear the rest of the conversation because they left the house. He was still on the floor...trying to think with the present over his face.
He sat up and the present drop to his hands. He looked at it...but then he had to go to the bathroom, to puke his guts out in the toilet. He should've known it was sake when he smelled it. He gave his last burst out and went to brush his teeth and chew a mint gum. At least he felt better and wasn't drunk anymore. He went back to the living room and sat on the couch.
Inuyasha looked at the present again and opened it. It was a locket shape in a heart. He opened it...it was a picture of his face and her face in the heart. It came from the picture he found in the album before with just him and her in it.
He smiled and put the locket around his neck. But the next thing he wanted from her is to forgive him from being drunk on his birthday. He stood up, with his hand holding onto the locket. He started to walk his way up to her room...the woman of his dreams and the love of his life.
*~*~
Kagome was sitting on her bed looking at the ceiling. This is it...she has to kick him out. She can't take it that they are always fighting. Now she was thinking on how she can break the news to him. Should she do it gently or really rough to hurt him so bad he won't be able to crawl back!? She decided to do it really gently...
After thinking for awhile, she was blinded. Someone's hands was covering her eyes. This person was on the bed with her, sitting behind her. She felt the chest against her back.
"I'm sorry...I didn't know I was drinking sake. Can you forgive me?" Said the voice. She smiled and knew who it was.
She put her hands on Inuyasha's hands and removed them from her eyes and put them over her chest to feel the heart beat. She turned her head to face his face. "I forgive you...and happy birthday!" Said Kagome.
"Thanks! Now I got 2 things from you: this locket, and your forgiveness. But I would like another thing from you..."
"What would that be?"
Inuyasha removed his hands from her's and moved them to her face. She had to move her body so she can completly face him. His golden eyes met her brown eyes. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her...once again. She enjoyed this one too. Her eyes were closed, trying to imagine how long it'll last.
After a few more seconds, Inuyasha removed his lips from hers and looked at her. His hands move to her shoulders and he smiled.
"That was the other thing I wanted from you..." She smiled at him with tears coming from her eyes. Inuyasha thought he had hurt her somehow. "Why are you crying?"
"I'm not crying..." She wiped her tears away. "It's called the tears of joy!"
He hugged her tightly, putting one hand on her head and one around her back. He truly, dearly loved her with all his heart. He can feel her heart beating fast. Was she scared, frightened or something? He needed to know why is her heart beating so fast.
"Is something wrong?" Asked Inuyasha.
"No, I just never knew how much you REALLY cared about me. You would do anything not to lose me."
"That's true..." He pulled her away from him so he can look at her. His hands back on her shoulders. (_ How many times do they have to get back together!?) He wanted to do something romantic with her. He started to move his hands to her waist. Nothing can stop him from doing what he was planning to do.
"Inuyasha...it's late, you should get some sleep."
Kagome would...
He couldn't believe she stopped him. But in a few minutes he got over it and nodded. He got off of the bed and slept on the floor. Kagome smiled, she went off of her bed and turned out the lights and went to bed. (_ But hey, he can't pressure her to do anything!)
"[Oh well...maybe next time when I get my chance, I'll ask her!]" Who knows when that'll be! Maybe a long time from now if he's still alive.

The Hanyou's Birthday (Next Day)
"Kagome...Sango, Shippo! Come over here!" Commanded Miroku. He called everyone except Inuyasha to meet outside so Inuyasha can't hear. He's still asleep anyway...in Kagome's room. Maybe he feels safer in there then with Souta.
"What is it, Miroku?" Asked Sango with her arms crossed.

"No, who's the person and what's the special day?" Questioned Shippo.

Kagome rest her head on his shoulder while he was eating. She looked at the toast on the tray and grabbed it with her two fingers. She took a small bite off of it. Inuyasha stopped eating and watched her eating the toast.
Maybe this is another way she thinks Inuyasha is warm. It didn't matter, he likes it when she's around.
*~*~
"I hope they don't get into another fight!" Said Sango. "And why did she have to leave me in baking the cake!? She knows I can't bake!!"
"She knows you're just going to fight with Inuyasha too so she just went upstairs while you bake!" Said Shippo.
"I don't care, ok! Hmm...how long do I set it to? 30 min...no, I'll try one hour and 30 min! It says it here on the box anyway!"
She put the cake in the oven and set the timer to one hour and 30 min. Let's hope she doesn't burn the cake...or ruin it!
"You're going to learn how to cook when you get married, anyway. I can imagine you and Miroku marrying!" Said Shippo.
"Who said I was going to marry that pervert!?" Angered Sango.
"You DID say you loved him in front of EVERYBODY at church!! And Miroku told me he was going to propose to you."
Sango is shocked...is he really going to do that? She didn't want to get married...yet! She didn't want to have children...yet! She didn't want to sleep with Miroku every night for the rest of her life...yet! She better avoid Miroku for awhile.
"Sango...? Are you okay?" Asked Shippo.
"Yeah, why?" Answered Sango with a question.
"Because you put flour in your hair!" Shippo wanted to laugh but he waited until Sango realized she had flour in her hair. Sango ran to the bathroom downstairs and looked into the mirror. She couldn't believe it, she did this when she was thinking about the marriage thing!?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
*~*~
Inuyasha and Kagome heard the scream downstairs and was wondering what was going on. Kagome figured Sango must have ruined the cake or something like. She looked at Inuyasha.
"I'll be right back! Just stay here and....look at more of my pictures!" Said Kagome. She gave him the picture book and ran out of the room like what Shippo did. Inuyasha was very confused. Something is happening on his birthday, and he needed to know what!
So he just finished his breakfast before Kagome gets back up here. He put the tray aside as soon he was done eating. He looked at the picture book Kagome suggested, which were pictures of her and them...Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, some of them have Myoga, and himself and her.
But he wanted to find the picture with ONLY him and her. He looked more in the picture book to find it, but it wasn't there. Where was it? Did she went to make more copies? He didn't know, so he waited until the time was right.
How long has it been since they have fought? Oh yeah, yesterday when they met Totosai. He was hoping they both don't fight today because it was HIS special day. For once, he actually prayed for them not to fight.
*~*~ (Later that night at 7 PM!)
"Inuyasha! You can come downstairs now!" Said Kagome. She found Inuyasha taking a nap on her bed. He barely open his eyes and sat up. He rubbed his eyes so he can see better. When he could see better, he looked up at Kagome.
"What?" Questioned Inuyasha.
"I said you can come downstairs. Come on! I'll walk down with you!" She held out her hand to him with a smile on her face. Inuyasha looked at her hand and looked back at her face. He jumped off of her bed and took her hand. They walked out of her room and walked down the stairs to the living room.
But while he was getting closer downstairs, it started to get darker. He couldn't see very well, but it seemed like Kagome knew where she was going. When they got downstairs, he couldn't see ANYTHING!! But he trust Kagome to lead him to where ever they're going.
They stopped, why? He still felt Kagome's hand in his and was wondering what was going on.
"You wait here! I'll turn on the lights!" Said Kagome. He felt her hand slip away from his and just stood there, wondering what is going to happen next. He heard her footsteps left him and he didn't know what to do.
Then the lights turned on...
"SURPRISE!!"
He didn't believe what he saw. He saw ballons, cake with candles, birthday hats and all kinds of things. He wasn't use to it, but who cares! At least he knew how much his friends cared about him. Probably Miroku blabbed to them again.
"Happy birthday, Inuyasha!!" Said Kagome. He couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. "Something wrong?"
"No, nothings wrong! I just didn't know what to say," said Inuyasha.
"Well, you did say something! Come on! Let's get this party started! What do you want to do first Inuyasha!?"
"Well, I want to have some cake, play games and whatever is after that!" Inuyasha sat in front of the cake with a smile on his face. He looked at the cake...there was only 15 candles.
"Sorry! I didn't know how old you were so I just put 15 of them on!" Said Kagome, like she was reading his mind. "Anyway, make a wish!" What is he!? A little kid!?
Inuyasha smiled at her, he knew exactly what kind of wish he wanted. He closed his eyes and made his wish.
"[The only thing I wished in the whole world is-to be free from Naraku's curse and live happily with Kagome and someday to marry her...and maybe have kids.]" Said Inuyasha. He open his eyes and blew out the candles. Everybody clapped as soon as he blew them out. They ate the cake right after that.
The games they played were BINGO, catch the fox demon (Of course that was Inuyasha's idea when Shippo pissed him off!) It was almost time to open the gifts he got. But he was so thirsty, so he wanted something to drink before he started to get his gifts.
"Here Inuyasha! Drink this!" Said Miroku. (_ Luckily, Kagome was in the bathroom when this happened!)
He handed him a cup, Inuyasha took a sniff at what it was. This scent was familiar but he can't put his finger on it. So he just to a drink of it. It made him a little bit dizzy.
"MIROKUUUUUUUUU!!! WHAT DID YOU GAVE HIM!?" Yelled Sango.
"I gave him sake!" Said Miroku.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?"
"That's sake? I wanna try!" Said Shippo. He took a cup and was about to drink.
"Wait, Shippo! Don't take it!" Said Miroku.
"Why?
"Because it's not good for you!"
"Aw..."
Kagome came in the living room with a happy smile. She raised her arms in the air and said, "TIME TO OPEN THE GIFTS!!" Shouted Kagome.
"Hey Miroku! Give me another cup!" Said Inuyasha, Miroku pour the sake in his cup and Inuyasha drank it fast. Luckily, Kagome was too busy of being happy and trying find Inuyasha's gift.
Inuyasha kept asking for more sake, Miroku gave him one more cup and that was it! Pretty soon he's going to be puking his guts out!
Miroku got his gift to Inuyasha. It was wrapped in a green cloth, he put it in Inuyasha's hands.
"This is actually from me and Shippo. It's something you wanted since yesterday..." Since he's drunk he can't remember what he wanted yesterday.
Inuyasha looked at it and was wondering what it was. Kagome and Sango were watching him. Inuyasha opened it very slowly and was slowly shocked...it was his Tetsusaiga!! He was happy.
"All right! Tetsusaiga is *hiccup!* back into the owner's *hiccup!* hands!" Said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha...? Are you alright?" Asked Kagome.
"Ah! He's fine, Kagome...just a little tired!" Said Sango. "Here Inuyasha! It's the spray and cloth I use to clean my Hiraikotsu! You can use it to clean Tetsusaiga to wash away the blood stains!" She handed him the cleaning stuff.
"Thanks Bango!" Said Inuyasha.
"It's SANGO!!"
"Whatever!" He tried to stood up to walk to Kagome who was standing next to the table. Miroku help him up by grabbing his arm and pull him up. When Inuyasha was able to stand, he walked over to Kagome. But when he got to her, he fell forward and put his arm over her left shoulder and his head landed on her right shoulder. He was still standing, he just needed Kagome's help to stand.
Kagome put her hand on his head to make sure he was alright. He lift up his head to look at her in the eye.
"So, what's your gift!?" Asked Inuyasha. Kagome smelled his breath, accidentally. It really STINKS!! Was he drinking sake? After she thought about it, his breath did smell like sake. He was drinking!!
Suddenly, she was filled with anger and she slapped him. The others blinked when she made the action. Inuyasha fell backwards and fell on his back.
"YOU IDIOT!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE DRINKING SAKE ON YOUR NIGHT!! I DON'T CARE IF YOU WERE THIRSTY OR NOT, YOU COULD'VE ASK FOR A SODA!!! BAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Shouted Kagome.
"I'm not an idiot!!" Said Inuyasha.
Kagome threw her present at Inuyasha, angrily. "IF YOU DONT ADMIT IT THEN YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!" She stomped her way upstairs with fire burning in her eyes. Before they all heard the door slammed, she had something to say. "AND I HOPE YOU LIKE THE PRESENT!!" That's when she slammed the door hard!!
Everybody looked at Inuyasha. He was still on the floor with the present on his face. Miroku and Sango got up to go home because they knew it's going to get ugly. Sango was angry at Miroku for giving Inuyasha the sake in the first place. Shippo went to Souta's room to play with Souta.
"You're also the idiot! What kind of monk are you!?" Yelled Sango. Inuyasha didn't hear the rest of the conversation because they left the house. He was still on the floor...trying to think with the present over his face.
He sat up and the present drop to his hands. He looked at it...but then he had to go to the bathroom, to puke his guts out in the toilet. He should've known it was sake when he smelled it. He gave his last burst out and went to brush his teeth and chew a mint gum. At least he felt better and wasn't drunk anymore. He went back to the living room and sat on the couch.
Inuyasha looked at the present again and opened it. It was a locket shape in a heart. He opened it...it was a picture of his face and her face in the heart. It came from the picture he found in the album before with just him and her in it.
He smiled and put the locket around his neck. But the next thing he wanted from her is to forgive him from being drunk on his birthday. He stood up, with his hand holding onto the locket. He started to walk his way up to her room...the woman of his dreams and the love of his life.
*~*~
Kagome was sitting on her bed looking at the ceiling. This is it...she has to kick him out. She can't take it that they are always fighting. Now she was thinking on how she can break the news to him. Should she do it gently or really rough to hurt him so bad he won't be able to crawl back!? She decided to do it really gently...
After thinking for awhile, she was blinded. Someone's hands was covering her eyes. This person was on the bed with her, sitting behind her. She felt the chest against her back.
"I'm sorry...I didn't know I was drinking sake. Can you forgive me?" Said the voice. She smiled and knew who it was.
She put her hands on Inuyasha's hands and removed them from her eyes and put them over her chest to feel the heart beat. She turned her head to face his face. "I forgive you...and happy birthday!" Said Kagome.
"Thanks! Now I got 2 things from you: this locket, and your forgiveness. But I would like another thing from you..."
"What would that be?"
Inuyasha removed his hands from her's and moved them to her face. She had to move her body so she can completly face him. His golden eyes met her brown eyes. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her...once again. She enjoyed this one too. Her eyes were closed, trying to imagine how long it'll last.
After a few more seconds, Inuyasha removed his lips from hers and looked at her. His hands move to her shoulders and he smiled.
"That was the other thing I wanted from you..." She smiled at him with tears coming from her eyes. Inuyasha thought he had hurt her somehow. "Why are you crying?"
"I'm not crying..." She wiped her tears away. "It's called the tears of joy!"
He hugged her tightly, putting one hand on her head and one around her back. He truly, dearly loved her with all his heart. He can feel her heart beating fast. Was she scared, frightened or something? He needed to know why is her heart beating so fast.
"Is something wrong?" Asked Inuyasha.
"No, I just never knew how much you REALLY cared about me. You would do anything not to lose me."
"That's true..." He pulled her away from him so he can look at her. His hands back on her shoulders. (_ How many times do they have to get back together!?) He wanted to do something romantic with her. He started to move his hands to her waist. Nothing can stop him from doing what he was planning to do.
"Inuyasha...it's late, you should get some sleep."
Kagome would...
He couldn't believe she stopped him. But in a few minutes he got over it and nodded. He got off of the bed and slept on the floor. Kagome smiled, she went off of her bed and turned out the lights and went to bed. (_ But hey, he can't pressure her to do anything!)
"[Oh well...maybe next time when I get my chance, I'll ask her!]" Who knows when that'll be! Maybe a long time from now if he's still alive.
