Kagome, What's a Birthday

Souta was baffled at Inuyasha's question, "How could he NOT know what a birthday is?" He asked himself, "Umm…Well…a birthday is a celebration for the day you were born." he advised to curious hound.

Inuyasha leaned in, interested at the young boy's words, "A celebration?…Why didn't Kagome tell me? But what do I do for Kagome?" He asked.

"I can take you shopping!" Souta said excitedly, he then, examined Inuyasha's clothes, "But first, we need to get you something to wear!" He was wearing a big grin.

Inuyasha looked down at his clothes, which were covered in mud, "What's wrong with my clothes??"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome rubbed her soft towel in her soaked raven hair as she stepped in the kitchen. Her mother was leaning over the stove and pouring the newly cooked food into separate platters. She paused as Kagome made her entrance, "Oh Kagome! Have a seat, dinners almost ready dear."

"Where's Souta?" asked Kagome taking her seat.

"He's in the living room with your friend. They've been talking ever since he came down here." She walked over to the table, "SOUTA! Dinner's ready!" she looked at Kagome while handing her her food, "Would your friend like some food also?"

Kagome stuck her nose in the air, "I'm sure he'll live."

"Kagome…"

Souta rushed in the kitchen with his hand clutching Inuyasha's. Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha in semi-baggy jeans and a black t-shirt, "Inuyasha?! Where did you get those clothes?!?"

"I borrowed some from a friend." said Souta happily as he took his seat. Inuyasha was a little embarrassed, he hadn't worn clothes so…weird.

"Please, have a seat." came to soft voice of Kagome's mother. She held out a plate and set it down on the table in front of Inuyasha. He looked at it and saw on the platter, a large steak with mashed potatoes and some sweet corn. He sniffed it for a second, and before Kagome could get in a word, he was scarfing down the steak, completely ignoring the potatoes and corn. Everyone was looking at him oddly, except Kagome's mom, who always seamed to keep a smile on her face. She sat down and they all began to eat. Kagome's face was flushed with anger, and embarrassment.

When the dinner was over, Inuyasha had BBQ sauce smeared all over his face, but he looked as happy as ever. Souta, Kagome's mom, he grandfather and Souta all left the kitchen after finishing up their meals. Kagome couldn't take it anymore, she stood up as Inuyasha was licking the sweet aftertaste off of his fingers. "INUYASHA!" She yelled. He looked up at her, "…Urgh…" nothing came to her, except the fact that the sauce smeared on his cheeks was annoying the hell out of her. She rushed over to the counter and swiped a paper towel. Then went back to Inuyasha and handed it to him. He looked at it confused. She sighed, then began to wipe the sauce off like a mother would her baby.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha looked at her dumbfounded. She was upset, but at the same time, happy.

"…You know…that was pretty rude…" Kagome snapped.

"…what was?" He said tilting his head. She only stopped and looked at him hopelessly.

"…never mind…"

Inuyasha then remembered her birthday, "Hey Kagome! What do you…"

"INUYASHA!" came Souta's yell, "You wanna go now?" he ran into the kitchen, with his coat half on.

"Go?…" Kagome turned from Souta to Inuyasha, "Go where?"

"I'm going to show Inuyasha around town." Souta squeaked.

"Then why don't I come with…"

"NO!" Souta started to give fake tears, "I…just wanna do it….can I…p-please?" he tried to sound as pathetic as he could, and somehow, she bought it.

"Fine. But when will you come back?" she asked feeling a little left out.

Souta was getting annoyed, "I dunno. But soon, ok?" He smiled, then snatched up Inuyasha's hand like a school girl with a crush. Just as they reached the front door, Kagome ran in front of them. She was clutching a hat.

"You'll need this." she said handing it to Inuyasha, "People can't see your ears." She smiled, then walked away. The two then headed out, into the street.
