*Chapter 2*
~Thanks to my reviewers! I had lost my inspiration to write anymore until you guys reviewed. Thanks.
Anyway, I'm getting tired of writing great, great, great, great, great, great uncle so I'll just use uncle from now on. Okay?
Kagome jumped into the well. She needed to talk to her uncle about this new situation. Never in a million years would she had thought that she was related to the amorous monk. She climbed out of the well, shaking her head. This would take a while to get used to. "Do you think it has been long enough?" Inuyasha said as he jumped down from a nearby tree. Kagome simply ignored him as she walked right past him, heading for Kaede's home. "Hey wench. Did you hear me?" Kagome gave him the first answer that came to her head. "Sit." She left Inuyasha with his head in the ground, muttering colorful words.
Kagome walked into Kaede's hut. She looked around and was scared out of her wits as everyone jumped out of their hiding places. "Surprise!" All Kagome could do is stare in shock. "How did you know?" she asked. "Well, you told us that the first day that you traveled through the well was today. Inuyasha had told us a while back that it was your birthday when you first came though the well so we put two and two together. We had Inuyasha go get you so that we knew you came today." Miroku explained as he looked around. "Where is Inuyasha?" Suddenly, a hanyou bursted though the door. He was a little mad. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I didn't know you were part of this." Inuyasha sat down. "Feh. Well, you should be sorry wench." Kagome's eyebrows knitted together. Before she could say anything. Shippo jumped into her arms. "Happy Birthday, Kagome." Kagome smiled at Shippo. "Thank you. Have you been good while I was gone?" Shippo nodded. "Of course." There was a snort from Inuyasha, but Kagome ignored it.
Sango came up to Kagome and gave her a hug. "18?" Kagome nodded. Sango smiled a little bit which gave Kagome a on edge feeling. Sango whispered, "Perfect age to get married." Kagome blushed slightly. "Hey, Sango. If I'm perfect age, then shouldn't you be married by now?" This time it was Sango's turn to blush. "Whatever." Kagome smiled.
"Isn't it time for the gifts?" Shippo said. Kagome's eyes got wide. "There's presents?" Shippo said, "Yeah. What would be a birthday without gifts." Kagome said, "I wasn't expecting anything. I didn't even think you guys knew it was my birthday." Sango nodded. "That reminds me, why didn't you tell us it was your birthday." Kagome thought for a minute. "Well, I didn't want you to be put though any trouble." Kaede, who wasn't even really noticed by Kagome until now, said, "Nonsense, child. Ye would have done it anyone of us." Shippo bounced away for a minute.
When he came back, he pulled something out from behind his back. "Here is my best collection of pebbles." he said, smiling at Kagome. Kagome picked him up into her arms. "Thanks Shippo." Sango stepped forward. "Kagome, ever since we've first met, you have always been there for me though many things. You have saved us all many times and you are like my sister and best friend." Sango gave Kagome a new set of arrows. Kagome took an arrow out, examining the craftsmanship. She smiled. "You have been like a sister to me as well." Sango smiled and stepped back.
This time Miroku stepped forth. "You have been a good friend to all of us, Kagome. At one point or another, we all needed your medicines or you help doing something. We all value your friendship. Even though you are put though many fierce battles, you always seem to smile. It encourages us so never stop." Miroku scratched the back of his head. "It kind of goes with Sango's gift." He pulled out a bow. "While you were gone, we went to Sango's old village and made these out of demon bones and other materials." Kagome smiled. "Thanks. It's thoughtful." Miroku smiled. He looked over at Inuyasha, who was staring out the window. He rolled his eyes and hit him over the head with his staff. "What was that for?" Miroku said, "Go give Kagome her gift." Inuyasha picked up something off of the ground in front of him, as he did he was grumbling something about breaking Miroku's staff. He walked over and gave her the object. Kagome stared down at the necklace he had given her. It has many smooth stones and some shells. "You have been somewhat helpful in finding the jewel shard so thanks." Kagome stared at him. "Your welcome." Inuyasha began to walk away until he heard Miroku clear his throat. He glared at him. Sango and Miroku glared back at him. Inuyasha, hesitantly, turned around and gave Kagome a peck on the cheek. Kagome blushed as he walked away. "Uh... let's go test the bow and arrows."
They went outside a little way from the hut. "What can I shoot at?" she thought aloud. Miroku picked up a stick. As he threw it he said, "Inuyasha, fetch boy." Inuyasha hit Miroku before he even saw it coming. "Very funny, monk. If you want something to aim at try this." Inuyasha picked up Shippo and threw him deeper into the forest. "Kagome..." Shippo squealed as he was flung, his voice fading as he traveled farther and farther away. "Sit."
After a while (consisting of 3 sits) they took a break from practicing. Kagome thought of all of the gifts she had gotten. Bow and arrows, necklace, watch, car. That was when she remembered the reason she had came. Her uncle. She looked up. "Miroku?" Miroku looked up from where he was meditating. "Yes, Lady Kagome." She blushed, sort of. "Um... I need to speak with you about something." Everyone looked up at Kagome, surprised. "It'll only be a minute." Miroku and Kagome left the hut. After a while, Inuyasha needed to 'stretch his legs.' As he left, Sango whispered, "Tell me what happens."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With Miroku and Kagome (and the unknown Inuyasha):
"What is it you wish to speak to me about?" Miroku asked curiously. Kagome took a deep breath. "Well, I have recently learned that we are... um... related." Miroku stood there taking in the information. He seemed shocked. "That's... interesting." Kagome nodded. "You see, my grandfather was telling me about my (here it is again) great, great, great, great, great uncle which so happenend to be you." Miroku said, "You know... you're beginning to make me sound old." Kagome laughed as did Miroku. "In that case, I guess I should walk my niece back to Kaede's." Kagome smiled. "Sure, uncle." They began to walk back. "You know what, Kagome?" Kagome looked up at her uncle. "What?" Miroku said, "Now, some of my former thoughts were improper." Kagome rolled her eyes. 'Now?' she thought.
