Families CAN Be Replaceable
Heart of Friendship- Nothing much to say. Here's the next chapter!
animecraze11- I've decided whether or not Mikoto's going to help Kyo with her arm. You'll just have to see. My stories inspirate you? Cool! And cooler than your sister's? I don't believe I've ever read your sister's stories so I'll have to take your word.
Foxstar2k2- Ahh. But she doesn't need another well. I guess that's her reason not to sit him into a well. Never thought of recording Kagome's sit command. Cool! Mikoto's sweet. But he does have some ideas about Kyo. And the bully is gone. No more will be said about Emily. Sorry. She learned her lesson.
Cirrus, the pheonix of life- Hi Kay! The birthday greeting is a little late, but thanks anyway!
Lenipez sideshow- All the stories on this account are writen by me. The real cyclonegal12 got another account and gave this one to me. Don't ask what her new account name is. Even I don't know. Besides, she doesn't write anime fanfiction. And Mikoto's always liked Kyo. Why do you think he stalks her?
Wolf of Fire- I have no clue why they got me for abuse. The story still has a few chapters to go. Don't worry.
Dragon Man 180- I didn't plan to have her find out about Kyo being a hanyou and it will stay that way.
I woke up on my birthday to a great smell. Still half asleep, I changed into my school uniform and checked to see if my ring was on its necklace around my neck. It was. Then I made my bed and put my pjs in the wash. With these simple, everyday chores done, I made my way downstairs.
There was a wonderful feast on the kitchen table. Sausage, eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast, regular toast, english muffins, omlets, and orange juice. Next to that was a small pile of presents. Kagome, grandpa, Souta, and mom were already awake, waiting for me.
"Happy birthday!" they exclaimed. "Open your presents!" Mom said happily. I picked up the top one. It was heavy. The card with it read, "Happy 13th birthday, Kyo! May all your wishes come true. Love mom." Inside the package was two books. 'A Little Princess' and 'Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring'. "You liked The Secret Garden and A Little Princess is done by the same person." mom explained, "I thought you'd like it. And I don't know if you like fantasy, but Lord of the Rings is a great book." "I'm sure I'll love them." I told her.
"Mine next!" Souta said handing me a lumpy package. The card on this one said, "Happy Birthday! -Souta" Opening the package I found a big brown teddy bear. "I bought it myself!" he explained, "I hope you like it." "And I do!" I said hugging him. He blushed and pulled at my ears.
The next came from Kagome. "Happy birthday to my new little sister." the tag said, "You'll always fit in here. No matter what you look like." I unwrapped this one carefully. For some reason I could tell it was breakable. And I was right. Inside was a small silver hand mirror. "I hope you like it." Kagome said, "I almost got you a wooden one that was painted up as a flower, but I thought you'd like this one more." "I love it." I told Kagome, "Thank you so much!"
Finally I picked up the last present. It was tiny and there was no card. It was from grandpa. Inside was a tiny strip of what looked like very old leather. "It's demon skin, Kyo." grandpa told me. I cringed. It was like grandpa giving Kagome human skin. "Legend has it that this came from a powerful dog demon." My mind automatically screamed, "INUYASHA!" "Uh. Thanks." I said after a few seconds, "I'll find a safe place for it."
"You didn't tell us it was your birthday today!" Kinomo exclaimed, "We don't have any presents to give you!" "That's alright." I assured her, "I don't need presents." "But you do!" Josh insisted, "We'll have to give you something tomorrow. What do you like. What do hanyous like?" I glared at him. "Sorry!" Josh said quickly.
"Excuse me for a moment." Tsukonee said walking away, "I know exactally what to get Kyo and must get it." "You'll miss the first class!" Kinomo exclaimed. "It's self study." he replied, "I studied last night. I miss nothing." "Alright." she replied, "But don't come running to me when you have detention for a week."
Dinner that night was fast and good. Like mom had said, she made spaghetti and meatballs. They were the best I had ever tasted. Then we had a yummy vanalla cake with 13 candles on it for each year of my life. After dinner, Kagome hustled me through the well. "We have to get Kaede to check your arm." she explained. Of course I didn't believe her for a moment.
I was right. Everyone yelled "SURPRISE!" as Kagome and I entered Kaede's hut. I spied another pile of presents. This was turning out to be the best day of my life so far. Shippo shoved a bunch of flowers into my hands. They were a little strange, very big, and needed some water desperatly. "That's your present from me!" the kid told me proudly, "I picked them just for you!" "Thank you so much Shippo!" I exclaimed. I didn't want to make him feel bad. Kaede took the flowers from me and put them in a vase full of water. Just what they needed.
Next came Miroku's present. "I think it might come in handy." he told me as I opened it. Inside was a single charm. I picked it up. Very sticky. "Why'd you give me an anti-demon scroll?" I asked, "I'm a hanyou." "But you see, dear Kyo," he started, "That's a scroll that will freeze anything it touches. Not just demons." I wanted to ask if he was telling the truth, but found I couldn't move. Laughing, Kagome pulled it off me. "I see it works." I told him dryly.
Kaede was next. Her present was a basket of herbs. "These herbs can help with all sorts of healing." she told me. "So it's like having a natural first aid kit." Kagome pointed out. I nodded. "Thank you very much." I said putting the basket behind me, "I bet there's a few that can help my arm in there." "Most of them can." Kaede replied, "That's why I gave them to ye."
"I think you'll like my present." Sango told me. She also handed me a basket, but this one was much larger and it had a bit of cloth over the top and handle. Carefully, I pulled it off to reveal a tiny cat with big red eyes and two tails. "It's a demon fire cat." Sango explained, "Kilala's a demon fire cat too. This one's too young to carry you and fly at the moment. Give it a few months. Then it will be able to." "Is it Kilala's kitten?" I asked cuddling the cat. "No." she replied. "Boy or girl?" I questioned. "Girl."
"So what are you going to name it?" Shippo asked me. My mind quickly scrolled through names. "How about Annoying Cat?" Inuyasha suggested. Kagome glared at him. "I sort of like Taoa." "Then Taoa it is." Kaede said, "It's a sweet name for a sweet cat."
Last came Inuyasha's present. "I think you might need it if you insist on tagging along with us when we fight." he told me as I opened his box to reveal my very own set of red fire rat robes. "Thank you so much!" I exclaimed hugging him. Inuyasha pushed me away quickly. "What was that for, cat?!" he demanded, "I'm just so happy!" I told him. "Yeah, well get over it." he mumbled. I could see a hint of a smile on his face.
Kagome: I like that pretty mirror I gave her. Where'd I get it?
Clear Waters: Uh. Walmart? I don't know! You're the one who bought it!
Kagome: You're right. Sorry. I got it at some little jewelery and more shop.
Sango: You used my idea!
Clear Waters: Of course I did! It was good one. Kyo needs a cute little pet.
Shippo: Kyo really seemed to like my flowers!
Inuyasha: Yeah. Who couldn't like those things. {hiding sarcastic}
Miroku: I like the present I gave her. Too bad she got it stuck on herself.
Kagome: Why? Does the spell wear off after one use?
Miroku: No.
Inuyasha: Then why are you worrying?
Miroku: Because she got it stuck on herself.
Inuyasha: Yo, Clear Waters. I have a question.
Clear Waters: What is it?
Inuyasha: WHY THE HELL DID YOU MAKE ME GET KYO A FIRE RAT ROBE?!?! THOSE THINGS ARE DAMN EXPENSIVE!
Clear Waters: Now I have a question for you.
Inuyasha: What?
Clear Waters: HAVE YOU EVER BOUGHT ANYTHING BEFORE IN YOUR LIFE?!
Inuyasha: No.
Clear Waters: And you have money?
Inuyasha: Yes, lots. What are you getting to bitch?
Clear Waters: If you have money and you don't use it then it doesn't matter if you spend it on Kyo's birthday present. R&R everyone!
Inuyasha: Damn bitch.
Clear Waters: Kagome?
Kagome: SIT!
