Disclaimer: As I have said before, Inuyasha doesn't belong to me. Pity. But if he did, would I honestly be saying this? So, therefore, he doesn't. Ha. My logic is wonderful!

*A/N: oolies. New chapter. huZZah! I had an interesting day. I got hit in the back with a chair in drama, my ex's old best friend called me sexy, and this creepy kid agreed! Um…My virus is gone. So, that's a good thing I suppose. But, as of now, I'm invisible. So…that's not good. Anyways, I'm getting an A in French for anyone who cares. But, old news. I hope all my wonderful readers had a happy Halloween, I know I did. I went to a hockey game – the first year I didn't go trick-or-treating! And, next year I may go as Kagome, or Human Inuyasha. I don't quite know. Um…this story is getting so many reviews! I think it was at 20 the last time I checked. Thanks to…Namiko-daughter of Sekhmet, kittykathy, dragonpearl1, Ai, AmBeR EyEs ChIk, comicfancat! You all keep me writing!^^ well…here it is! Wonderous, glorious, chapter!

Chapter Three

*KPOV*

"Come on Kagome! Blow the candles out!" my friends urged, giggling as I did. One remained lit, and they all squealed with laughter. (A/N: I don't know if they do that in Japan, but we do here.)

"One boyfriend! Wonder if it's Hojo!" Erie cried as I snuffed out the last candle. Erie, Yumi and Aya(I can't remember their names--…and I'm way too lazy to look it up right now.) howled with laughter at the remembrance of him.

"It's not Hojo." I said, plucking the candles out of the cake and licking the icing off the end. Yumi laughed,

"Oh please Kagome, don't give us that!"

"Well, he isn't." It wasn't a lie, I didn't even like Hojo. Everyone else did, but not me. I was far too busy with other things to care. I already had the man I wanted planned. They all laughed harder

"Oh yeah. I forgot, it's the man that doesn't even exist. Come on Kagome, give it up." Aya said, shoving me playfully. I snorted and shrugged,

"He does to."

"Rigggght." The three girls taunted in unison. If only they knew. I began to cut the cake and distribute it to them, smiling, temporarily forgetting my earlier troubles with Inuyasha. I wore my necklace and bracelet with pride, and when my friends had arrived, they had fawned over them, squealing and laughing.

"Kagome…someone here to see you." My mother called, and my friends became quiet.

"Send them in!"

"I think you may want to come in here dear…" her tone of voice worried me, so I stood and went into the kitchen. My heart stopped beating as I saw Inuyasha, standing there and grinning like mad.

"Inu...Inuyasha!" I squeaked, my face paling, "What are you doing here?!" He raised an eyebrow, still grinning.

"I got a surprise for you…" he pulled his hands out from behind his back and produced two closed palms, "Pick one." I rolled my eyes and chose the right. His grin widened,

"Wow! You guessed right!" he turned his hand over, opened his palm and revealed a rock. I blinked a few times, staring at the stone in his hand for a moment before looking back at him.

"It's a rock." I said flatly, staring at it.

"Yeah. I picked it for you as a present."

"A present? You've got to be joking, right? You didn't get me a rock as a present" my expression turned slightly angry, and my tone rose as I said it. He blinked a few times and nodded,

"Yeah…I did?" he seemed nervous, and I growled.

"First you forget! Then you bring me some lame excuse for a gift to make it up? You really are pathetic!" I snarled, before turning and stomping out. He…ooo…he just made me so mad. How dare he! Even Grandpa had managed to get me a half-decent gift. I re-entered the living room, and Yumi, Aya and Erie stared for a moment.

"You okay Kagome?"

"Your arthritis isn't acting up is it?"

"You did take your Insulin shot for your diabetes, right?" I rolled my eyes and nodded my head, as I sat, grabbing a piece of cake and digging in. I honestly couldn't believe him. A rock. I should have taken it and pitched it at his hard head! Thats what I should have done. But, by now, he had probably left to go take his rage out on some poor, unsuspecting tree. Poor, poor tree. It never even saw it coming. By now, my friends had began to talk endlessly again, and I couldn't help but be swept up in their conversation. Anything to take my mind off Inuyasha was welcome. Even Hojo; which seemed to be the topic subject now.

"He's so cute! Kagome, you are so lucky!" Erie stated, nodding as she finished her cake and extended the empty plate towards me. I grunted in response and dished her some more out.

"Just go out with him." Yumi urged, digging into her third piece. Aya nodded, her mouth still full. I shook my head in disgust and glared at the table. I didn't want Hojo, it was Inuyasha I truly cared about. No, I didn't. He was rude, annoying, stubborn, aggressive, protective and dumb as a post. Not to mention he was cruel. He called me wench as much as possible. But still, he was somewhat attractive. I knew for a fact that Yumi, Erie and Aya would die if they ever saw him. Rolling my eyes, I went back to listening to my friends as they continued to squeal and talk mindlessly about Hojo. I still didn't get what was so great about him.

*A/N: oolies! Nice chapter. Bah. My friends and I do the whole sit and squeal about whatever guy catches our attention. How sad. It's a girl thing. By the way, I don't care if Kagome's friends names are wrong – I like them. I think that's it. *blinks as readers throw assorted objects at her, booing* okay! OKAY! I know a lot of you thought the whole rock idea was kinda cruel, but trust me, it's just the beginning. He is going to get her something nice! It's a fluff for gods sake. There has to be fluff. Baaah. I'm tired. So, I am going. But, *points to review button* see that? Yeah…you push it and it helps me write more. Yep, it does. So, what are you waiting for? Greenday? PUSH IT!
