Chapter Two

Birthday Candles

When Kagome finally got to school she noticed that the man claiming that it was OK to wear underwear in his shop was not the only one happy with his new found freedom. Everywhere she turned she saw girls wearing short skimpy skirts. Halter-tops, spaghetti straps, and three inch hills were just a little over the edge(I mean the uniforms was not THAT bad) Looking across the sea of over excited teens of Japan she saw Catherine. Smiling she walked over to her. She was not one of the rebelling girls. She wore a jean skirt, red blouse, and red sandals. Her sandy brown hair contrasted perfectly with the September sun.

"Hi Kagome, was your summer vacation all right?

Now Kagome being in her predicament, she could not tell her best friend the truth of traveling through a well, and fighting for jewel shards from an insane half demon and greedy humans, and did not even get a chance to even take a trip to the beach……So she lied.

"It was awesome! How was yours Catherine?"

"Cool I guess"

Kagome smiled but deep inside she wanted to tell her friend about her adventures and why she could not spend her vacation with her, but she couldn't. The bell rung and everybody rushed into school. Kagome and Catherine made their way to 1st period which was Algebra. The day passed by quick, and the colorful clothes was something different then the white and green she was use to. Blue, greens, pink, and yellow whizzed pass her as the lunch bell rang. She entered the cafeteria and the sound of songs and voices were herd everywhere. Kagome met up with Catherine and they choose a booth in the back.

"So have you seen Hojo?"

"No I haven't seen him since last year:"

Catherine started to sweat.

"Why do you ask?"

"No reason"

"You know something, Catherine!"

"Ok, I saw Hojo today and he was with some girl with long black hair, she was wearing a black spaghetti strapped dress with red cherries on it and high heels and her boobs were totally fake.

"I don't care"

"You don't?"

"Nope I have a boyfriend"

Now this was not a lie. Kikyo was dead (finally). And Inuyasha finally realized his feelings for her. Although he was still a cocky jerk, he still had his moments. Besides he was always protecting her and getting jealous.

("Wow, boy isn't he cute when he's jealous. Those cute doggy ears and tho…..")

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome!"

"Huh"

"Lunch is over, and you haven't ate a thing"

"I wasn't even really hungry, the picture of Sota's pancake filled mouth still plays in my memory."

Last period was over quick and Kagome was glad school was over, it was cool but now she just wanted to go home. As Catherine passed the shopping district they passed a store called PARTY WORLD and in the window were a package of glittering candles. They had flowers on them and the wick was specialty dyed to make the flame change colors.

"You should get them Kagome"

"You think?'

"Yea your birthday is tomorrow and all"

"Yea you're right"

Kagome and Catherine walked into the store, they saw all types of party items, none interested her except the beautiful glittering candles in the window.

"How much for the candles?"

"3800 yen"

"Wow a little pricey for candles don't you think?

The clerk eyed her annoyingly.

"If you think so then GET OUT"

Kagome noticed this was the same man from the newspaper, he was pissed about not being able to wear underwear in his shop.

"Kagome lets get out of here"

"No I won't those candles. Alright I'll pay"

The clerk with a sigh got up and got the candles from the window and rung them up and put them in a pink bag and scowled. Kagome and Catherine walked home chatting about summer vacation and school.

"Well here's may stop. See you tomorrow Kagome"

"Bye Catherine"

Catherine walked to her big stone step porch with a small yen garden in the front. Kagome walked home feeled with delight and her perfect candles in hand. She started to sing more Gwen Stephi as she walked up the long steps to the Higarashi shrine. Opening the door to her house she could smell pork chops and rice with a hint of wasabi peas.

"Yum mom. It smells awesome in here"

Now what is about to happen is just a case of bad karma and superstition. One would think the fated would give her a break………..Well they didn't! As she came into the kitchen Kagome for the second time in one day fell face first from another broken sandal. Her bag hit the floor and her candles skidded across the kitchen.

"Owwwwww, not again" Getting on her hands and knees Kagome crawled on the floor until she reached her candles, but when she reached her hand out for them a bare foot stepped on it first, when she looked up, she saw Inuyasha looking down with a scowl on his face and his arms across his chest.

"Where have you been, clumsy?"

Kagome knew it could not get any worse"
