Me: Yes, this is kinda what happened like a month after this happened.

Naomi walked into her bedroom. It was pitch black in there. She rubbed her eyes and gasped as the lights were turned on and her mom, dad, brother were there along with Noku, Marakou, and Kristen. Balloons and streamers hung on the wall. Naomi raised her hands to her cheeks.

"Oh my god!" she cried. She ran up to them and gave them hugs. "You guys are the best!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they shouted in unison.

"Guys, what time is it? Almost 10?"

Noku smiled. "But it's your birthday!" she said. "How could YOU forget?"

Naomi forced a smile.

I didn't.

She had been waiting for a special moment with a special someone, but it was almost too late.

"You're going to be 15 in about two hours!" Marakou said jumping up and down. "Here, try the cake. We made it ourselves."

Naomi walked over with happy tears and took a bite out of the cake.

"It's good." She murmured. She lifted her head and saw happy faces.

"You should open your presents now." Kristen suggested. "Mine first." She handed her a big red box with a bow tie on it.

Naomi smiled as she took the box and one by one she opened all the gifts – 6 in total.

They had partied until 11:30 p.m., Noku yawned and looked at her watch.

"Well, we'd better get going." She turned to Naomi. "Happy birthday!" she leaned over and gave Naomi a hug.

Naomi gave all her friends hugs as they walked out the door.

She looked at her watch.

Only half an hour....

She walked back into the house.

"Naomi?" asked a deep voice. She looked up to see her older brother Joey. He was tall and broad with messy black hair and large brown eyes.

"Yes?" she asked, yawning.

"Have you seen my blue baseball cap?"

Naomi abruptly stopped yawning. She widened her eyes. She had given it to Inuyasha as a departing gift on that day.

She shook her head. "No." she lied. "You must have thrown it in the wash or lost it."

Joey shrugged and went back into his room to go to sleep.

Naomi wiped her forehead and went back into her room while yawning again.

She changed into her pajamas. Just as she climbed into bed, she heard a soft tapping. At first, she thought it was her imagination. She heard the tapping again. She sat up straight.

A burglar?

Naomi slowly walked over to her window and looked out. She saw a covered face, but judging by the silhouette, Naomi smiled and opened the window.

Inuyasha climbed through the window and stood in front of her.

"You're here." She whispered.

"And with minutes to spare." Inuyasha said, holding her hand.

Naomi rested her head on his chest. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it." Inuyasha lifted her chin to his face and leaned closer and planted a kiss on her lips, which formed into a smile.

"Happy birthday." He whispered in her ear.

The night Inuyasha again slept on the floor and at around 2:00 a.m., they snuck into Joey's room to steal some more clothes. They hid them in Naomi's closet and fell asleep again, both on the floor.

A few hours later, they woke up. Naomi smiled as she looked at Inuyasha.

"What?" he asked.

"You're back to your human form."

Inuyasha got up and looked down at himself.

"Something tells me I'll be like this for a long time."

Naomi blinked. "Forever? You know, I liked those ears too."

Inuyasha smiled. "When I need to."

Naomi and Inuyasha got up and got dressed and Naomi called Kristen, Marakou and Noku and asked them to meet her at her house as soon as possible.

Naomi gathered up her family to the living room and sat them down.

"What's this for?" Joey asked.

"You'll see."

Her parents looked confused too.

Her friends arrived 10 minutes later and she seated them all to the living room.

She went into the backyard to fetch Inuyasha, still in his human form, and still in her brother's clothes, was puzzled.

"What are we doing?" he asked.

Naomi smiled slyly.

She grabbed his hand and led him to the living room. They stood in front of everyone and Naomi held Inuyasha's hand. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Everyone." She said, getting their attention.

"This Inuyasha – my new boyfriend."

Me: Okay if you already read the other Epilogue, that wasn't it. I wrote the whole thing out but for some reason it cut itself off. I'm going to write an explanation chapter if anyone's confused about anything in the story.
