Disclaimer: You know this is just a waste of my good time so I am not going to write this anymore. If you feel this is important just read it from the first chapter.

AN: Yeahhhhhh!! My story is coming together quite nicely, sorry if you might think it is developing a bit slowly but don't worry because there is plenty of drama coming up. Once again thank you to all those who have reviewed, enjoy the story. ^_^

I am very sorry to have taken so long to update this, the teachers have suddenly gone crazy so as a result, there was an overload of work. I will work my hardest to get the next one posted but it might take a while so very very sorry. ;_;

Title: Among the field of lavenders

~~~~~***~~~~~

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone shouted at the stunned Kagome when she walked into the nursery the next day.

A huge smile lit her face when she saw all her friends standing there in a beautifully decorated room.

"Thank you so much!" She gushed feeling extremely happy. Sango and Ayame grinned at her grabbing her hand and pulling her into the room where Kouga and a humongous cake awaits her.

Kouga smile and pulled her into a hug giving her a little kiss on the cheek, "happy birthday Kagome."

Kagome blushed, "thank you Kouga." Turning to Sango she asked: "how it the world did you manage to convince Kouga to have a party during work?"

"Hey!" Kouga grimaced, "I am not that strict!"

Ayame grinned widely. "Okay, does that means we are still getting paid today?"

Kouga stared at her in dismay, holding his hand up in defeat he agreed. "Okay, but that's just because it is Kagome's birthday, don't you dare try that again."

They all laughed and went to seat down around the big care.

"Okay, everyone hold hands!" Sango announced. Clasping each others hand they all started to sing, wishing Kagome a happy birthday. Kagome never felt so warm and happy, smiling at everyone, she joined in the song:

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you…" The voices rang together in harmony, each sound filled with joy. After the song was finished Kagome closed her eyes to make a wish, everyone hushed in anticipation.

"I wish my life and the life's of those I love will be forever joyful. To love and live their life to the full without doubt and pain. I wish for mom to let go of her sadness and move on and, and…" she hesitated. "And one day, to be able to have a family of my own to love and care for." They were all silent for a moment, thinking about Kagome's wish. Sango placed her hand on top of hers. "I am sure you will, Kagome." She said sincerely. Kagome gave her a warm smile and placed her hand on top of everyone's. "Thank you for being here with me and for giving me such a great day."

"No problem!" Ayame chipped in.

"Okay!" Kouga clapped. "Cake time!" They all cheered and dug into the cake in front of them.

Having eaten all they could the presents were handed out. Sango gave Kagome a complete cosmetic pack all containing lavender essence and Ayame gave a gold lavender brooch. However the most surprising present was from Kouga who brought her a mobile, it was silver Nokia that was the latest one out.

"Thank you so much!" Kagome said awed. It was much more than she could ever afford.

"No worries, now you can call me anytime when ever you want."

Kagome grinned. "You know what I really want to do now? I want to go on a big shopping spree!"

"No!" Kouga backed up in horror. "There is no way I am gonna be caught dead in a shopping centre with a bunch of crazy girls."

Ayame giggled. "You have to Kouga, after all it is Kagome's birthday, don't be so mean."

Few minutes later they were all piled inside Kouga's car driving away to the mall. Inside were three giggling girls and one very disgruntled Kouga.

"So Inuyasha, tell us about yourself." The woman in front of Inuyasha said smiling into the camera. He showed his teeth twitching the corner of his mouth looking very much bored; he had no idea why he let Miroku drag him into this. He had far better things to do then wasting his time answering the stupid bimbo in front of him on a live interview.

"You know what my name is, I use to live here. I move to America long ago, came back a few days ago and I like music." Inuyasha smirked inwardly waiting for the woman's reaction at his reply. She coughed nervously starting to realize that this wasn't going to be as easy as she first thought. "Right," she said. "So why did you decide to begin a career in music?"

"What are you deaf? I already told you, I make and sing music because I like music, got a problem with that?"

"No, that is just fine. So do you have a special someone in your life?"

He was beginning to feel irritated, he needed to make a very important phone call and this interview was taking much longer than he had predicted, suddenly he had a brilliant idea, turning his face he grinned at the woman making her extremely nervous at his change of mood, he turned back to the camera and began speaking: "Yes, in fact I do. She was just a childhood friend and we've been apart for a long time. Today is her birthday so I like to wish her a happy birthday, I …"

~~~~~***~~~~~

Kagome, Sango and Ayame trail down the street chatting happily. Behind them was an extremely pissed off Kouga who was carrying all their shopping, now if you now those three girls, the amount they buy are pretty big in comparison to a normal person, it other words at least ten bags of clothing each.

"Darn," Ayame said miserably. "I should have bought the big teddy, it was so cute!"

"Yeah but Kouga would not have been able to carry it for you with all the bags he's carrying right now." Sango said.

"I would have carried it!"

"And relief Kouga of his suffering?" Kagome smirked.

"Come to think of it, maybe not." Ayame replied sniggering at Kouga behind them.

Walking along the street they came across the window of a shop filled with TVs, Ayame pressed her face against the glass and squealed when she saw Inuyasha on it.

"You guys, listen to this!"

Kagome walked closer feeling hesitant; she didn't know how she would feel when she saw him.

"I want to wish her a very happy birthday, I know its being ten years since the last time we meet but I hope you still remember our promise on that day." He said smiling at the camera.

Kagome looked on with tears in her eyes staring back at the Inuyasha on TV, "he hasn't forgotten." She thought. "He still remembers me."

"Go Kagome." Sango said. "Before it is too late, don't you want to find out what happened to him after all this years?"

"But what about you guys? I feel guilty just leaving you guys like that."

"Are you crazy?" Ayame shriek shaking her shoulders. "If that gorgeous guy was just talking about you I will personally murder you if you don't go right now!"

"Do I get a say in this?" Kouga asked looking slightly angry.

Ayame and Sango both glared at him. "NO!"

"Okay, I get it." Kouga turned to Kagome, "Go and meet whoever that guy is but if he hurts you call me as fast as you can okay?"

Kagome smiled at him, "Okay. See you guys!"

As Kagome quickly walk away, she heard Ayame say: "So how did she know him anyway?"

~~~~~***~~~~~



Kagome stared across the beautiful fields of lavender taking in a big whiff of the plant's fragrance. She bends down to pluck a lavender off bringing near her nose. She didn't know why but her love for lavenders has never waned, everything about it was wonderful. Their smells, its shape, even its colour was attractive.

Kagome whipped around when she heard footsteps behind her, her mouth open in awe when she saw Inuyasha. "He looks even more handsome in real life." She thought blushing.

"Hey Kagome." Inuyasha said. "Happy birthday, you are eighteen now aren't you?"

"Yeah." She reply slightly confused at his cold tone, he sounded nothing like the way he used to.

Inuyasha looked at the girl in front of him smirking slightly at her discomfort. Taking a few steps forward, he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a brief hug before pulling back.

"So how are you this days? I your heart condition okay?"

Kagome smiled up at him. "I miss you so much Inuyasha, I can't believe that you are really here today."

"I promised didn't I?"

"Yeah but it has been so long, I was slightly worried that you would've forgotten me."

Inuyasha looked into her eyes causing Kagome to blush even more. "I will never forget Kagome."

Kagome grinned, happy at his reply. "So." She started. "How does it feel like to be a big star now?"

"Not as good as it looked."



She looked up in surprise, "is there something wrong Inuyasha?"

He hesitated a bit, "Nah, everything is fine. You haven't answered my question yet, how is your heart condition?"

"Oh, the same as always. Can't run or work too hard but I am getting use to it. It's Rin that I am more worried about."

"Your sister huh?"

"Yeah," Kagome said sounding a bit sad.

"So what have you been doing?"

"I am working in this really nice nursery." Kagome said cheerfully. "I get to be surrounded by flowers all day. Doesn't that sound great?"

Inuyasha gave a brief nod indicating her to go on.

So she continued with a smile. "I have been working there for a long time now and I meet all this really nice friends. You should really meet them especially Ayame who is crazy about you…" Inuyasha cut in looking a bit bored: "Look, I am sorry Kagome but I am a bit busy today so I have to leave now. Here give me your mobile." Kagome stunned at what Inuyasha said numbly handed him her mobile. (The one Kouga gave her, how convenient huh? ^_^)

Inuyasha took it and typed a few number in it and then handed it back. "This is my number, call me when you need me. I treasure our friendship Kagome and I don't want to lose it just because of my career." He gave her a brief nod and walked off.

Kagome watched sick in her heart as Inuyasha jumped into his sport car and drove away. "I shouldn't have chatted away about myself so much," she thought angrily. "I must have made him bored with my plain boring life." She cursed in anger and slammed her hand into the pole next to her, "what is wrong with you Inuyasha?" She shouted out loud. "Why have you become such a snob?"

~~~~~***~~~~~

Inuyasha drove away feeling slightly guilty at his behaviour towards Kagome, he couldn't stand been around her because she reminded him too much of his painful memories. "I'll explain it properly to her next time." He thought to himself. "Miroku is going to be damn pissed when he finds out that I have walked out of my interview again."
