The Third Family
Waaaah! Only 4 reviews this time around. I'm sad. Boy I'm spoiled.
LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- Come along to the party! Read read! You might be surprised on who actually does show up in the story!
Dragon Man 180- Don't worry. Kyo'll have fun at the party. And I don't even know how Kyo got the scratch, but I'm leaning towards the Wind Scar excuse
ZeldaAlly- ICE CREAM!!!! Thanks! I'll eat it with my cake!
Kyou- Yeah! Party!!
"That took you a while." Kagome commented when I jumped out of the well. "Mikoto came by just as I was about to jump." I explained. "Oh." she replied, "Well let's go. " "Souta tried to use the well again today." I commented on our way to the house, "It's a good thing he didn't make it though." "Yeah." Kagome agreed, "I can just see Souta getting chased by that earwig." I nodded and we laughed.
"Oh good, you're back." mom said as we walked into the kitchen. I was starting to get worried." "We had a little problem with a demon at the village." Kagome said, "Sorry." "It's alright." mom replied, "Come and see the cake. Tell me if you like it." We walked over to the kitchen table.
The cake was huge! "It's three layers thick." mom told us, "Vanallia flavored cake with rasberry filling in between each layer." The cake was covered in white icing with little pink flowers around the edge of the cake. Then with pink jell, mom had spelled, 'Happy Sweet Sixteen Kyo!' on the top. "I love it!" I exclaimed, "Thanks so much mom!" She beamed. "I'm glad you like it." she replied.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Kagome asked. "Clean up your room." Mom instructed, "You too Kyo. And don't try to tell me your friends won't want to see your rooms." We sighed and went to do what we were told.
The first guest arrived at six. It was Kinomo. "Hi!" she said walking in, "Am I the first one here?" "Yeah." I said starting to close the door. "Don't you close that door on me!" Josh said slipping through the narrowing opening. "Sorry." I said, "Didn't see you there." He rolled his eyes, walking over to Kinomo and hugging her. They had been going out for a year. Originally Josh had asked me out, but I said no. Of course I didn't tell him about Mikoto. Now we were just very good friends.
There was a second knock on the door. Opening it I saw Tsukonee. "Hello hello." he said walking in, "Where should I put the present?" "Yeah." Kinomo said, "Where?" Looking around the living room, I spotted a good place. Next to the "TV." I replied. "I brought music too." Josh said holding out a cd.
Taking it, I looked at the cover. 'The Cat's Meow' I read. It was a cd he had burned himself. I smacked him lightly on the head with it. Josh laughed. He had never stopped teasing me since the day I told them I was a cat hanyou. "It has some good songs on it." Josh told me, "Try it." I nodded and put it in the cd player.
By 6:30 everyone was here except for one person. In the three years I had gone to school, I had become pretty popular. Maybe not popular as having a bunch of people follow you around, but popular like everyone knew my name and considered me a friend. Mom had brought out snacks and the party was going great. Josh had been right. There were some good songs on his mix.
My last awaited guest burst through the door. "Lil-chan!" I said happily. "Hi." my friend greeted. Her full name was Lil Cat Anime. Lil's the only one I know who has a middle name in the school. "Sorry I'm late." Lil said, "I had a little trouble with homework and I wanted to finish it before I came." "It's all right." I assured her. She handed me my present and wandered off to join the others.
I had invited Kagome's friend Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka, not only because they had become my friends, but also because I didn't want Kagome to have a few of her own friends here too. Also they could help make my party better. They were older. They had expirience with parties like these.
The lights flipped off. "Cake time!" mom announced coming in with the cake. Everyone cheered and began singing Happy Birthday. I walked over to the cake. When everyone was finished singing I blew out the candles and everyone cheered again. Mom began to pass out cake.
I fell onto my bed, absolutely and utterly tired. It was eleven thirty and Kinomo, the last guest, had just left. I had to admit, the night had been a lot of fun. After everyone finished their cake, Yuka declared it was time to dance. Then Eri insisted I had to dance with every boy I had invited.
Then everyone got a little silly and we played little kid games like musical chairs and red light green light. Somehow mom came out with a pin the tail on the donkey board so we played that too. Finally when we were finished playing, we just returned to talking and dancing. The night had been great.
Someone knocked on my door. "Come in!" I called. Mom walked in. "Did you have a good time?" she asked. "Yeah." I replied. "That's good." she said, "Sorry that you couldn't go on your vacation with Mikoto today." "How'd you know about that?" I asked. "How could I not know?" mom asked, "You go with him on a vacation every year on your birthday."
"I'm going tomorrow." I told her. "Any hints this year?" mom questioned. I had told her my hints every year and mom had tried to help me figure out where I was going. "Just to pack a lot." I replied. "So you'll be gone a while." mom said thoughtfully, "So you'll probably be going far away." I nodded.
"Well, Mikoto will tell you where you're going in the morning." she told me, "And when you get back I want to know all about the trip, okay?" "Yeah." I said, "I promise to tell you all about it." Mom left my room and I got ready for bed.
Kagome: I'm so glad Kyo had a good birthday!
Inuyasha: Feh. I could care less.
Shippo: Kyo promised to bring back cake.
Sango: If she promised then she'll bring it.
Miroku: Yes. Kyo is very reliable.
Clear Waters: It's about time I came up with a chapter that had to do with the story. That race could have been a side story. Not a chapter.
Inuyasha: Now she gets the difference between a side story and the main plot. ABOUT TIME!
Clear Waters: Oh be quiet.
Shippo: Yeah. You just didn't like that chapter because Kyo beat you in the race.
Inuyasha: Yeah, what if that's the reason?
Sango: You just admitted it.
Inuyasha: Yeah, so?
Shippo: Inuyasha just admitted to something!
Miroku: That's good. Now we just have to get him to admit his love for Kagome. And it wouldn't be that bad if we could get Kagome to admit her love for Inuyasha.
Inuyasha & Kagome: WHAT?!?!?
Inuyasha: Shut up monk!
Kagome: I do not love Inuyasha! See? SIT BOY!
Clear Waters: Kagome, I'd like to talk to you about flooring bills.
Kagome: Oh. Sorry!
Clear Waters: R&R everybody!
