Surprise!

"Kagome!" called a voice from downstairs.

"Mmph…" Using all the energy she had, she stepped out of bed, on to her carpeted floor. Kagome was still tired and groggy. She reluctantly stood up and picked out clothes for the day. Another school day, another large painful headache…

"Kagome! Hurry up and get dressed! You're going to be late and don't forget you have to drop ME off too!" Sota shouted, all the while banging anything but softly on the door.

"I'm up, I'm up!" she called back. In about 10 minutes she was dressed and had grabbed several granola bars. "Now Kagome…" her mother started. There she was again, going about her nutrition and eating a "balanced breakfast."

With a quick kiss on the cheek to her mom and lugging an angry Sota behind her, she took off.

AT SCHOOL

"Hey Sango. How are you?" She greeted her friend with a warm smile as she jogged up to her side. As soon as she looked at the ground she looked at the ground she wished she hadn't interrupted. The school "pervert" had now a near-permanent hand mark on his face, courtesy of Sango.

"You misunderstand me Sango. I was just checking to see if you had sat on anything sticky on your bottom-side," a dazed Miroku said.

"You pervert."

Miroku just grinned happily at her.

Kagome was beginning to shake her head when she caught a glimpse of Inuyasha strolling down the hall causing about 5 girls to trail after him. He seemed annoyed.

"Sango. Look over there."

"What? Oh him? Oh! Hey you should ask him on a date or something! You obviously like him." Sango nudged Kagome toward his direction.

"I can't! And how would you know if I liked him?"

The bell rang out before Kagome could further say anything. In a flash Sango had disappeared after shoving Kagome totally into Inuyasha. Miroku had followed Sango.

"Hey, watch it. You're a little clumsy aren't you?" someone asked as she was lifted up by a strong grip.

"Oh um, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to you see what happed was-!" she was cut of by a hall monitor coming their way.

"Forget that! Let's get out of here!"

Kagome and Inuyasha separated, each blushing slightly

AFTER LUNCH/BREAK TIME

Kagome was disturbed by a moving green growth in her meat, so she was quite hungry and ravenous. I wish I ate more this morning!

As she started walking toward her locker, she realized Sango was missing. She shrugged it off and saw a group of her friends huddled around her locker. They were mumbling about… her!

Kagome felt cheated. How could her friends backstab her like-!

"Surprise!" her friends shouted in unity. Her whole locker had changed! It was decorated from the inside out with ribbons and decorations in a variety of colors. Oh, how she had been wrong about these friends! They had remembered her birthday!

"Oh and Kagome… I overheard Miroku saying that Inuyasha had a little crush on you…"
