Author Note:
Wow, I can't believe I got five reviews in less than 24 hours! Thanks to FieryDemonFox, inu fan, desy, firebird5, and AnimeObsession260() for reviewing!
To answer some questions:
Inu's pissy because it's near his "time of the month" and I always like to think he views her going back home as a waste of precious jewel shard hunting time.
And don't worry....things will get a little bit longer. I keep it short on this one because I think I'll write in it everyday until it's done.
Once again thanks for the feedback!
Miyabi loves you!
The next few days were a flurry of activity not only for Kagome but the rest of the gang as well. Kagome decided to go back home for the next two days to help prepare for her party and to gather modern-style clothes for her friends.
"I promise I'll be back the day of the party to drop off your clothes and jewel shards so you can pass through the well ok?" said Kagome as she hefted her huge yellow backpack to her shoulders.
"I don't see why you have to bother setting this thing up for." griped Inuyasha "Can't your Mother handle it? We could be shard hunting you know."
Kagome scowled. "Don't make me say it."
Inuyasha stared for a second before crossing his arms with a "Feh." Which in Inuyasha-speak meant he was done arguing.
"We'll see you in a couple of days Kagome. Take care." said Sango.
"Thanks Sango. Later guys!" Kagome leaped down the well and was gone.
Sango turned furiously to Inuyasha. "WHY are you acting like that to her? It's her birthday! She has a right to spend it the way she wants to! The world doesn't revolve around you Inuyasha."
"I know that stupid! I...I...I just don't want to go!" Inuyasha muttered.
Miroku bopped him on the head with his staff. "You'd better go." he warned "From what Kagome-sama's been saying, a girl's sixteenth birthday is pretty important. I don't think she'll ever forgive you if don't attend."
"And you'd better get her a present too!" Shippo piped up. "I bet she expects something special from you."
"And why would she expect that?" asked Inuyasha.
"Well, she loves you...duh." said Shippo.
Everyone got quiet.
"Whatever." muttered Inuyasha and turning on his heel, he walked back to the village and went to go sit in his tree.
"Well, that was awkward." sighed Sango.
"It's true though!" insisted Shippo.
Miroku nodded. "We know that and you know that Shippo and I think deep down Inuyasha knows that. It's just.....well, he hasn't sorted out his feelings yet."
"You mean won't sort out his feelings." muttered Sango.
Meanwhile Inuyasha lounged up in his tree and thought deep thoughts.
"I really don't want to be around a bunch of people I don't know." he thought to himself. " But I know it's important to Kagome so I guess I'll just have to put up with it." He smiled wickedly to himself. "But I don't have to let them know that I really don't mind."
The hanyou didn't want to admit to himself that he was actually looking forward to the party. For once in his life he'd fit in in a crowd.
"Miroku mentioned a gift....damn....I have no idea what to get her. I want it to be special because well, she is special." Inuyasha thought to himself.
He thought about it for a while and then got an idea but to really pull it off he'd need to talk to someone that knew Kagome best.
"And who better than her mother?" he thought as he hopped down and sped towards the well.
Upon reaching his destination (and making sure no one saw him) Inuyasha leaped in and fell though the bluish-purple haze that connected the worlds. No matter how many times he crossed over he was still amazed at the well's otherworldly powers. He landed with a soft "thud" and climbed the ladder that Kagome had propped up on the inside. Walking softly through the storage shed he stopped and smelled the air for Kagome's scent.
She wasn't there.
"Perfect." he thought as he walked toward the house.
Not knowing that it was polite to knock first Inuyasha barged right in the front door and nearly collided with Kagome's mother as she was walking by.
"Ooops! I'm sorry Inuyasha." she smiled "I didn't hear you come in. Are you looking for Kagome? She went to the store to pick up snacks for her party. She should be back any moment now."
"Um.....actually I was hoping I could talk to you." Inuyasha shuffled his feet around nervously.
Mrs. Higurashi looked concerned. "Is everything all right?"
Inuyasha nodded "Yeah...it's just that...well, um, ....whatdoesKagomewantforherbirthday?" he got out in a rush.
Mrs. Higurashi looked startled for a moment then smiled knowingly. "I'm sure she'll love whatever you give her Inuyasha. It's not the gift that matters but the meaning behind it and the person giving it to you."
Inuyasha thought about it. "Well, I had an idea....promise you won't tell her?"
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "It'll be our secret."
Mwah-ha-ha! Did you really think I'd let you know what it is? You'll have to wait just like Kagome does!
