"Happy Birthday Kyoko! You're 5 years old, you must be excited!" Kyoko was spending the night at Sango and Kohaku's house. The house was a huge 5 bed 3 and ½ bath, and 2 living rooms. Sixteen-year-old Kohaku greeted his young friend and handed her a wrapped package before the hanyou had stepped inside the door. "Kohaku thank you for watching her for me, Shippo and I will be at the bar tonight, I tried to close it but your sister said Kyoko will stay here." InuYasha stated in as much of a matter-o'-fact tone with a slight hint of aggravation as the 27 year old (27 in human years, the hanyou was much older than 27 in youkai years) could muster. "InuYasha she will be fine, you left Shippo out in the car so I won't have you keep him waiting any longer." Sango swept Kyoko up into her arms and gave her a huge hug and closed the door on Inu's face.
"We have a surprise for you sweetie!" Sango loved it when Kyoko came over because Sango loved her friend Kagome dearly and when she died took it upon herself to be a mom to Kyoko. "How would you like it if we threw you a party!" "Are you sure?" Kyoko's voice sounded uncertain, while her golden eyes glowed with utter delight.
Opening her present that Kohaku gave her, she plopped into his lap. "Go on, it won't bite!" Sango realized that Kyoko looked tired and after all the cake and ice cream they all ate she was surprised Kyoko managed without a nap. The young girl carefully unwrapped the present because it was wrapped in a large white sheet of paper that Kohaku had obviously drawn on. After taking it apart slowly Kyoko looked at the paper, Kohaku had drawn all sorts of things on there, from the Great Wall of China, to a firefly.
Kyoko giggled when she noticed the present in the beautiful paper. Kohaku reached out to help her look at the two books before her. The first book was a learning to read book that he saw at the bookstore, it was the first book in the Amelia Bedelia series. Kyoko had started reading chapter books a few days ago, but only read what she found at the library. The second book was a learn to draw manga book that Kyoko had told him about. Kyoko loved to draw; 'I wouldn't be surprised if she was born with a crayon in her chubby little hand.' Kohaku looked up when he noticed Kyoko pulled him into a huge hug with her actions speaking volumes.
Sango took the books and laid them on the coffee table. Handing her a pink birthday bag, Kyoko stifled a yawn. "Are you tired?" Miroku looked at the young girl as he played with his girlfriend's ear. "No, I can wait for my daddy." "Kyoko, he's picking you up tomorrow." Quietly, Kyoko sunk into her idol's lap reaching into the bag with all happiness now gone.

"Looks like someone's tired." Miroku looked at the sleeping child's face as Kyoko slept happily. Her human pillow began to grow restless. Miroku took the girl, whose face was calm and peaceful. "Yeah, if I move though she might wake up." Miroku picked up the angel and laid her down on the couch. "Kohaku go to bed. You have a test tomorrow." Grumbling under his breath Kohaku trudged to his room and Miroku tucked the little girl in.

InuYasha turned to his daughter on the couch and hoisted her to his hip, the formless child was consumed by sleep. Shippo and Kohaku grabbed Kyoko's presents from the night before and piled themselves into the back of Inu's red Dodge Neon. Carrying his baby girl to the car InuYasha realized that he hadn't celebrated her birthday with his daughter. "Yasha, do you plan on putting Kyoko in her booster seat of should I?" Kohaku laughed quietly. "Daddy!" the five year old woke up when she felt a seatbelt go around her. "I missed you so much." Inu looked at her surprised, Kyoko rarely talked so something must have happened. Shippo and Kohaku talked about anything and everything until Inu popped in an AC/DC cd into the player blasting Long Way to the Top.
"Ridin down the highway
Goin to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin rock n roll"
The boys sang and Kyoko joined in at the few parts she could remember. As they reached the house InuYasha pulled the keys out of the ignition and headed towards the stairs on the side of the house leaving Shippo to get out his sister and grab everything with the help of his friend. "What's wrong with him?" Kohaku asked Shippo as he closed the passenger door. "Last night was hectic, but Friday nights usually are."
Kohaku unbuckled Kyoko who sprung out of the car and raced after her dad leaving the boys alone to grab the bags. "Shippo, what's wrong with all of you? You all seem as if someone died." "Kohaku, there's something I need to tell you, Kagome died today five years ago so things might not be so uppity." "Uppity?" the boys laughed at the funny word and headed towards the house with hands full of packages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
InuYasha opened the door to the house and slumped down onto the couch, only to be pounced upon by Kyoko. Inu sat Kyoko on his lap and looked down at her. "Daddy, why are you so sad?" Inu smiled at his daughter's innocence and hugged her tight as the boys walked through the door and took the stuff to Shippo's room since Kyoko didn't have one and slept on the couch.
"Kohaku and I want to know if we can go to the mall to meet up with his girlfriend?" Inu let go of his hold on Kyoko and nodded his head. Shippo and Kohaku walked out of the door. "Daddy, what do you wanna do?" "Nothing, do you want some ramen?" Kyoko nodded her head and InuYasha carried her to the kitchen to make lunch.
After lunch, InuYasha had to open the bar and told Kyoko to remain upstairs until her brother returned. Kyoko had her manga drawing book out and sat down in her drawing corner while her dad went downstairs to open up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours later a fight broke out downstairs and Inu called the cops, five guys were beating each other to a bloody pulp and Inu didn't want that. The sirens outside whirled around as they parked and went in to break up the mess. After the cops left InuYasha decide to close up and swept the floors.
When Inu put the broom down, a loud shattering sound came from the kitchen closely followed by a female shriek…
A/N: I hope you like it, I was running out of idea's and decided to add a little drama into the story.
