Kagome, What's a Birthday?

Kagome stood from her spot, "Nakaki! You have to take the shard out of you!" But Nakaki wasn't listening. Her blood red eyes darted around, and she moved in, exposing her talons at Kagome. With no wings, it was easier for Kagome to escape, but still not by much. Her side had been hit, and she pummeled to the ground, "The shard…it's consuming her soul!" Kagome didn't have her bow and arrow to protect her, so she pulled herself to her feet and headed away from Inuyasha, to keep him safe.

Nakaki chased after her, letting out a terrible screech. Kagome's only option was to somehow get the shard out of Nakaki before I was too late. She looked around for something that might aid her, but there wasn't anything. Luckily though, Nakaki was still injured from the battle with Inuyasha and couldn't fly, so her speed wasn't much faster than a regular persons. So it was much easier fro Kagome to dodge. But after a while, Kagome was getting tired, Nakaki only slowed a bit. Out of pure luck, she tripped on a misplaced stone and fell flat on her face. Now was Kagome's chance. She leapt up on top of Nakaki's back and began to wrestle her. Her hair tangled, and back ached, but Kagome would not let go.

The two wrestled for a while, taking turns on who was on top while giving each other plenty of new bruises to add to the other set. Nakaki even lost a tooth! After what seemed like an hour, they separated and were both exhausted beyond compare. Panting like crazy. Kagome crawled on her hands and knees over to where Nakaki lay, and looked at the red shards. Calmly, she reached over Nakaki's body, but her arm was grabbed, and she was thrown into the cement. Nakaki was down, but not out. Her eyes grew brighter red, and her claws began to grow more sharp.

"Oh NO!" was all Kagome's thoughts would bring up. But something interesting caught her eye. It was Nakaki's cheek. The injury had grown, which would make an easy shot. She picked up a pebble and chucked it at Nakaki hitting her forehead! Bad aim! "CRAP!" She then grabbed a handful and chucked the whole lot at her. This time, two went into the wound, sending Nakaki in a wave of pain. She howled and fell to her knees. Kagome scrambled over to her and found the shards quickly. Then, with one gentle touch, the shards began to purify, when she was done, Nakaki fell to the ground, unconscious.

Now that she was done with Nakaki, she pulled the shard out, then rushed over to where Inuyasha lay. Immediately her eyes began to water, "Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Come on! Get UP!…I-Inuyasha" She pounded his chest once out of frustration then clutched his red kimono while sulking in the same spot she hit him. Then she froze. As his arms lifted up and he opened his eyes drawing her close to him until they were in a locked kiss. At first, Kagome's eyes bulged with shock, but they eased into a comfortable shut as her last tear rolled down her cheek and the two shared a moment together.

When it ended, They pulled apart and Inuyasha said, "Happy birthday…Kagome"

Kagome leaned back staring him straight in his eyes, "How are you alive? I don't understand what happened?"

Inuyasha smiled, "Souta told me to do something that you wouldn't expect me to do on your birthday." he said.

"But…you were…"

"No I wasn't. Well, not dead anyway. I was somehow able to use my demonic powers to help you, but by using that, I went into a regeneration sleep."

"But you were in your human form!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Yeah, I don't understand that part myself." he responded, "All I know 's that I was able to use my powers, so I did." he smiled and leaned back satisfied and looked up at the sky, where the sun was slowly rising. "What a strange thing…this 'birthday'"

The next day, Nakaki awoke on Kagome's couch, where her wounds had been treated. She leaned up and looked around. On the recliner next to her, was Souta, who was fast asleep. "He worried about you all night!" Kagome said as she entered the room, "He was scared you weren't going to make it." She smiled, then sat down next to Nakaki who looked away from her at the floor.

"I don't see why. I'm a demon." she said.

Kagome leaned back, "He's always cared for you Nakaki. He always wondered when I would take him over to see you, or he would ask about you."

"…but I tried to kill you."

Kagome's smile left her face, "Yeah…but you were possessed. That's what tainted shards do to you." She looked down at her feet. The two let this hang in the air for a moment.

Then Nakaki said, "Well I care for him too." She looked at Kagome and smiled, "So I've decided to go to America!"

Kagome jumped, "W-WHY?!?"

"Dunno really. My guess is that there's some special guy there for me, just waiting for my touch. So maybe I can have a relationship like you have with Inuyasha!"

"R-RELATIONSHIP??!? We're just friends! Honest!"

Nakaki laughed, "Just friends huh? Then why were you sucking on each others faces yesterday?"

"We WEREN'T!…and besides…" she went down to an embarrassed whisper, "…I thought you were unconscious." Nakaki only laughed.

.....................................

As Kagome and Inuyasha stood outside of the dojo, they waved to Nakaki as she headed on her way. Souta ran out and caught up with her. In his hands, was a paper crane made out of golden paper. He handed it to her, then hugged her waist, and she continued down the stairs then disappeared into the city streets.

"That's three more shards for us." Inuyasha said.

"Sit boy!"

Inuyasha crashed to the ground, then pulled himself up, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!?" he shouted.

"Just a birthday gift to myself." she giggled.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha chased Kagome back down the well to where their adventure would continue.
