As they wheeled Kagome down hte hall to the emergency room Inuyasha's mind was flashing. It was sorta his fault after all he had surprised Kagome after all. She owuldn't have even have been in the park if it wasn't for him. THey stopped and went into an empty hospital room. THe nurses left to go get a real doctor. Kagome looked up at him and said,"Hi Inuyasha are you ok?" "I'm fine Kagome but you should be worried about yourself not me." "I'll always worry about you Inuyasha." "Kagome." Then Inuyasha kissed her. "YOu need to lie down and get back your strength. It's going to be a long time before that thing is healed." Knowing szhe was deafeated Kagome laid back down on the bed.

Kagome looked at her side. If the bleeding didn't stop soon she'd die of blood loss. Just then the doctor walked in. "Hello Miss Higurashi would you mind telling us what happened to your side." He threw Inuyasha a look of disgust. Kagome started,"Well I was riding my bike down the street with him. WE were racing down the road and the chain on my bike snapped causing me to fall. I fell on top of a fire extinguisher and ripped up my side as I slid back down to the pavement." Inuyasha had never heard Kagome tell such a big lie in her life. He was impressed.
Then the doctor said,"Well let's get a look at it." After he poked at her for a while he said,"Boy follow me." "Ok." The two men entered the hallway. Inuyasha hoped the doctor wouldn't say what he thought he'd say.

"Ok the gilr in there is in very bad shape. She has ripped one of the arteries in her side. We have to take her to surgery so it can be fixed and she won't bleed to death. Problem is that we can't operate without the family's consent. Could you have her family come up and sign the papers." Inuyasha didn't know what to do. He knew KAgoem didn't have parents. Oh Damn! If he didn't get that signature AKgome would die.

Inuyasha ran to the lobby and dialed Miroku's number. He heard"Hello" "Hi is Miroku there." "Of course hold on a minute Inuyasha." "Hello." "Miroku it's Inuyasha and we have a serious problem. Is Sango with you?" "Yes but what;s the problem?" "Good and..." then Inuyasha told him the problem and Miroku told it to Sango.

Sango pulled hte phone over,"Inuyasha do you think that my parents could sign the release. I don't want Kaogme to die." Sango was bawling in the background as Miroku took the phone from her. "Inuyasha we'll see if we can get one of our parents to go down and sign the release." "Thank you so much you guys. Kagome and I really owe you." "Inuyasha just make sure she dosen't die before we get there." Inuyasha then hung up and ran back to Kagome's room. Her skin had turned pale due to the lack of blood that flowed through her veins. Then Inuyasha with his super hearing heard Sanog and Miroku's chatter from the lobby and he headed down there. He saw Sango's mom walk into the hospital. SHe went and talked to the receptionist. Inuyasha ran over to the two disgruntled teens. Sango's eyes were red from all the crying she'd done. Miroku's face was blank but had a hint expression of sorrow as he tried to comfort Sango. Then Sango broke the dead silence,"Inuyasha will you take us to her?"

They walked in silence to Kagome's room. No one dare speak. Kagome smiled at them as they entered the room. "Hey guys lose those grim faces." Relief flooded over Sango. From thjat moent she knew things were going to be ok. She ran to her hurt friend and hugged her gently. Kagome hugged her back as best she could. Then the doctors entered and prepared kagome for surgery. They were all asked to leave the room and eight hour later the doctor came out, told them the surgery was successful, and said they could go see Kagome.

They all ran to their hurt friend. She was looking mush better and the color had bgun ot rise back in her cheeks. "Kagome how are you feeling." "Sore Sango." She tried to hide her pain witha smile but it was an act. They all new better. Inuyasha was the next one to talk,"Well KAgome we'll be back tomarrow to see oyu." Then they left Kaogme to spend the night in hte hospital.

The next day Kagome was permitted to leave the hospital. Inuyasha was the first to arrive. He was taking her home. Five minutes later Sango and Miroku followed suit. They all helped her walk to the car. Not that she needed but they weren't gonna take any chances. She wondered why Sango had brought her a pink skirt and blue skirt instead of her usual jean shorts and t-shirt. Kagome hated to dress up. She only had thos clothes for special occasions.

Soon she was in the passenger seat of Inuyasha's car. They were speeding toward her house when he took a wrong turn. "Inuyasha you're going hte wrong way." he just smiled at her and continued down the road. They stopped in front of an old house and Inuyasha said,"Follow me."

They walked into the old house and it was pitch balck. Kagome began to tremble with fear. THen the lights went on and a "Surprise" was heard. It was her 16th birthday and her friends had remembered. They had suprised her. KAgome turne to Inuyasha and hugged him.

A group of girls from school crowded around her. They immediatly started chatting. The boys, bored beyond belief, looked for something desrtuctive to do. They threw rocks at the dumpster outside until the girls called them back in.

Sango anounced,"Ok now it's time to open presents." Kagome had tears of joy in her eyes. No one had given her presents in years and now a whole group of people wanted to give her presents. Kagome was pushed into the center of the room and handed packages of make-up, money, clothes, hair accessories, books, and many other things.

Then her group of close friends gave thier presents. Sango gave her a pair of awesome roller blades. They were blue and silver with clear wheels. Fast and sleek, they were perfect for hardcore skating. Miorku gave her a $50 gift certificate to the local bookstore. Kagome loved to spend hours there. Both of them got big hugs. Inuyasha then handed her his present.

Inuyasha handed Kagome a key chain and she looked at him confused but noticed he was motioning for her to follow him. Outside the house was a black Ford 4x4 F150 crew cab. IT was totally the car of her dreams. Kagome's eyes got really big as she stared at the car. Inuyasha said,"Happy birthday!" and got the biggest hug of all. She started to inch off towards the car without anyone noticing.

Sango knew hwat was gonna happen but didn't say anything. It was Kagome's birthday so she's give her a head start over the hanyou. Kagome jumped into the truck, reved the gas, and took off leaving a huge cloud of dust. Inuyasha's jaw dropped. He jumped into his car and raced after her. If she got caught he'd be held responsible. He got up behind her and she pulled over. "Hi Inu come to join the fun." "You shouldn't have been driving without a license and besides your side has been reopened." Blood was seen through her shirt. "First off I do have my license," she held up her license," Second let me have some fun. It's my birthday after all." She then put her hand to her side and immediatly the blood flow stopped. They headed back to the old house. Kagome called Sanog on her cell to tell her they were on their way back. THen she sped off from Inuyasha again.

When they arrived the group was playing truth or dare. The couple immediatly sat down and joined them. Sango was up she chose dare. She was dared to kiss Miroku with her shirt off. Sango completed the dare without hesitation and then it was Kagome's turn. Of course as anyone would she picked dare. Sango dared her to stay lip locked with Inuyasha for the rest of the game. Kagome went over the Inuyasha and they just sat there kissing each other. Half an hour later the game eneded and Kagoem used some chapstick on her sore lips and handed it over to Inuyasha. Normally he would've said no it was girly stuff but his lips were sore. They headed out to their cars and hugged one another goodnight. "KAgome do you wanna go out tomarrow?" "Sure there's something I need to ask you. Call me tomarrow." Then they both went home and to sleep.

The next day Kagome woke up to her telephone ringing. I of course was Inuyasha,"Hey Kagome are you ready for our date today?" "ALmost pick me up in an hour k." "K" "Well I need to get ready so I need to go." She walked inot the bathroom and took ashower. Thens he put on a tye die shirt on and light blue jean shorts. Her contacts were put in and then she applied a small amount of make-up to her face. Last she pulled her hair back inot a ponytail. Then she went outside abd waited for Inuaysha. He pulled up and they got into the car. "Inuyasha do you mind if we go somewhere private I have to ask you something." "Sure." Then they headed offf towards the woods.

When the two go their the walked to the center of the forest. Inuyasha sat down and KAgome sat donw next to him. Her head rested on his shoulder. She began to try to work up the courage to say what she had to. Then she head Inuyasha.

"So Kagome what's so important." "Well Inuyasha do you happen to know where the jewel tha got pulled from me is." "Oh yeah I forgot aobut it. I had it put on a necklace. I'll go get it really quick." He jumped ujp over the tress and two minutes later he had returned to that spot. "Here it is." Kagome looked at it and sighed. "It's only half there one of my other relatives must have the other part. Inuuyasha do you know what this jewel is?" "No" "This is the Shikon No Tama. It was what Naraku was after. Shinra was already in trouble for betraying him and when he found out he was dating my mother he realised I was her daughter. He knew I had the jewel so he decided to take care of both things at once."

"I need to get the other half os the jewel Inuyasha. If we can't destryo this jewel it could destroy the world." "Alright who do you think could have the other half." "The only other person in my family who has shown powers is my cousin Rachelle but she lives in America." "Ok then let's go to America." "No if anyone goes it's me and me alone." "if I can't go then neither can you." "Inuyasha don't be so controlling." "Kagome I'm not but I would be so scared if you went alone so just let me come with you alright." "Inuysha if your gonna be so persisting then I'll give you and the others your presents early." "What are you talking about?" "For your birthdays I was going to take you all to Disney World in Florida but we can visit my cousin while we're there." "Who are you refering to as to coming along with us?" "Sango and Miroku of course." "Fine." Then they went to a resturaunt for lunch.

After lunch Kagome announced,"I have to go get ready for the concert tongiht." "Oh no not another concert!" "Sorry I can't help when they're scheduled." "Fine!" "Here's the tickets for you and the others." Inuysha grasped the tickets then he dropped Kagome off at her house. She went to take a shower. Tonight was a very important concert. Kagome walked into her closet and pulled out a white mini skirt and a white tanktop that had a huge blue butterfly on it. She put some read blush on and added red lipstick to her lips. There were jewels going down the side of her face preceeding from her eyes. Her eyes had a medium-dark blue colored eyeshadow and her face was covered in sparkles. Kagoem hopped into her truck and drove to the concert. Then she ran into her friends.

"Kagome you look great." was Inuysha's oh-so-original line. "So do you all." She kissed Inu and then she took a step back to admire her friends. Inuysha was wearing a tught white shirt that totally showed off his muscles and was wearing black pants. to top off the look he had on a hat that said bad boy 4 life. Miorku was a tight purple shirt that said don't hit me. He had on jean pants and there were chains draped across the belt loops instead of a belt. Sango had on a blue shirt that said don't ocme any closer in green. She was wearing a scalloped blue mini skirt.

The group headed backstage. Kagome was upset she had to wear her mask over her pretty make-up but she did it anyway. The concert was the same as always. Songs, dancing, spectacular ending. Then after words the group went to hang down at a club for teenagers. THey borke up into their pairs and headed to the dance floor. The first couple of dances were fast ones and everyone was having fun. Then the mood changed and it turned into a slow dance. Kagome draped her arms around Inuysha's neck while he placed his hands on her hips. Kagome laid her head down on top of Inuysha's shoulder. Inuysha kissed the top of her head and put his head on top of her's. After two more dances they decided to leave.

Kagome decided to speak up,"Hey guys I just got the tickets for our trip and I realized that we leave tomarrow so if you all want to spend the night then we can all leave form my house." They all said,"Well ok." Inuyasha stopped at everyone's houses and waited until they got all their stuff. HTen htey went back to Kagome's house. "Is anyone tired yet?" No one said they were. Miorku had a quick thought then smiled,"Do you guys wanna play truth or dare." "Sure." They all sat in a circle.
