On with the fic!
Recap:
" How is it any different than yesterday...or tomorrow?" I ask, clearly confused. What is this girl talking about? It is not even a good day. An hour ago, the weather changed for the worse. It was now a muggy grey outside, and I could smell the rain coming on."
"Because Inuyasha... Today is my Birthday."
Inuyasha stared blankly at Kagome. Her birthday he thought. Is this something special to her ? Instead of expressing his confusion, what came out was " Yeah, so what?"
Kagome stared at him, tears threatening to fall again. Inuyasha inwardly sighed. I suppose that was the wrong thing to say. He stared into her cloudy grey eyes as outside, rain began to fall. It made small sounds on the window pane.
Inuyasha cleared his throat. " Listen wench" he began " I never meant to hurt your feelings or nothin'." He glanced out the window, his ears swivelling to the sound. " I dunno what this Birthday thing of yours is..." But he never got to finish. Kagome had rudely interrupted, as Inuyasha noted.
" Wait... what? You don't know what a birthday is?" She questioned, starring back into his amber orbs. He shook his head slightly, clearly confused over the fuss she was making. He didn't know a lot of things about her time! Like that thing in the kitchen called an oh-van or the wah-sinm-a-shine. Why would this matter? She would just explain it to him, like always.
"What's the big deal?" he voiced his thoughts. " This isn't the first thing..." But again he didn't get to finish, because Kagome interrupted again.
" This isn't like a machine, Inuyasha. It's a day. You remember, like Halloween." Kagome shuddered. She remembered all to well her last Halloween with Inuyasha.
" Feh!" Inuyasha replied. " Another one of your damn holly-days. It's just another excuse for you to get stuff. Right!?!" He sounded a little aggravated. Kagome swallowed loudly.
" Yes.. I do get presents today." Inuyasha 'fehed' once more, sitting back on the ground and closing his eyes. " Hurry up wench, I came ta get yah, so lets leave already." Kagome nodded, knowing she couldn't win.
' But I'll spend as much time as I can here' She thought as she stood. Noticeably, still in her towel. Inuyasha seemed to notice this, peeking one eye open as she bent over to collect her clothes. Was it getting hot in here? He tugged on the collar of his haori.
" I'm going downstairs" he stated, standing and heading down the hall. Kagome sighed and closed the door after him. It made a dull clunk as it shut.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Inuyasha is devouring all kinds of food. Fruits of some kind and some instant ramen that Kagome's mother had placed on the table. She sat across from Inuyasha, feeding him food every time he finished his previous dish.
"You sure eat a lot Inuyasha" She said, setting down his fifth bowl of ramen. He nodded and shoved the food into his mouth.
"We don't get a lot to eat when were travelling. Only Kagome's ninja snacks and a few odd things I catch." He slurps up the rest of the noodles. Kagome's mother stood and stretched.
"If you've had enough Inuyasha, I think I'll go and see how to wash is doing" And with that, she left into the adjoining room. Inuyasha's stomach growled as he looked around for anything else he could eat. His eyes fell upon a nicely decorated cake, sitting in the middle of the counter. How had he missed this before! He grabbed the entire thing, setting it down in front of him. He sat back down in the chair, eyeing the cake. He dipped one finger in the icing and licked it off. It was very sweet and very good. So Inuyasha kept eating, until the very last piece when Kagome's mother came into the room and screeched.
" Inuyasha! You didn't eat Kagome's birthday cake did you?" She asked, knowing full well what he had done.
"Feh! There's that word again. Birthday." He shrugged, pushing the plate aside.
" Inuyasha, birthdays are very important here. It shows how much you care. Giving them gifts, showing them your glad they're alive." Inuyasha gulped. Showing people you were glad they were alive huh. Well, he sure was glad Kagome was living.
" What's with the cake though?" He asked.
" It's more like a tradition. People get birthday cakes, it's just how things are" She smiled at him over the basket she carried. " I'll get Souta to look it up on the computer for you."
"Well, what happens now that I've eaten the cake?" He blushed.
" A birthday just isn't a birthday without cake Inuyasha... It was Kagome's favourite too..."
"I'll make her one." He stated. Kagome's mother smiled. " Could you.. would you show me how?" He asked, blushing more. Kagome's mother nodded.
"Of course Inuyasha. We will simply have to loose Kagome for a while..."
" LOOSE her?" He sniffed the air. " She's right upstairs!" He glared at the woman, who was laughing excitedly.
"Yes, but we can't have her knowing about this surprise...We have to get her out of the house for a while."
"Say no more." He said, pushing back his chair and dashing upstairs. Kagome's mother went about folding the laundry, laughing to herself.
"What an adorable couple!" She said to herself.
Back upstairs.
Inuyasha screeched to a halt in Kagome's room. Lucky for him, she had just pulled her top over her head. She glared at him, picking up her large backpack.
"Alright Inuyasha, I'm ready." She said as he took the bag from her shoulder. ' Show her your glad she's alive'. He kept repeating in his head. They walked together down the stairs, Kagome a little uneasy with his mellow mood. She said goodbye to her mother and as she walked out the door, she could have sworn she saw her wink at Inuyasha.
They headed to the well house and jumped in, one after the other, emerging 500 years in the past. It was gloomy here too, as the rain created large mud puddles in the path to the village. The entered Kaede's hut, almost completely soaked. Almost at once, a small kitsune threw himself at Kagome, damn near knocking her down. But she simply giggled and hugged the kitsune back.
" Kagome!!!! Your back!" He squealed into her chest.
"Welcome Back Kagome" Miroku greeted her.
"Yes, Kagome, we're all glad to see you!" Came Sango's soft voice from the corner. Kagome beamed. This was turning out to be a great birthday after all. Inuyasha cleared his throat.
" I think I'll go get some more fire wood. It'll be cold tonight." And began to make his way outside when Sango piped up.
"I'll help you Inuyasha." And began to stand.
" NO!" He shouted, pushing her back down, which earned 4 very confused looks in his direction. " Feh. It's raining out. We can't have you stupid humans catching cold. I'll be back soon, just.. keep yourselves warm." And with that, the hanyou disappeared out the door and into the storm.
AN: Sorry I didn't update on the 19th guys. I had some guy trouble and didn't feel quite in the mood to finish this. But it's raining out so it's all good. Don't forget to R & R! Love you guys! Ja ne!

Inuyasha stared blankly at Kagome. Her birthday he thought. Is this something special to her ? Instead of expressing his confusion, what came out was " Yeah, so what?"
Kagome stared at him, tears threatening to fall again. Inuyasha inwardly sighed. I suppose that was the wrong thing to say. He stared into her cloudy grey eyes as outside, rain began to fall. It made small sounds on the window pane.
