2 – Happy Birthday!
Disclaimer – Umm Inuyasha isn't mine. This story is, though.

It was Kagome's tenth birthday. She smiled as her mother set the cake down in front of her. Inuyasha was there, smiling as well. Kagome had only invited him and her best female friend from class, Kikyou.
"Alright, blow out the candles, Kagome!" Inuyasha cheered. Kagome took a big breath in and blew out all ten candles at once. Inuyasha and Kikyou cheered.
"Aww, Kagome, here's a card. Happy Birthday!" Kikyou said turning to leave with her mother. "We have to go." Kagome waved to them.
"Bye, Kikyou." Kagome said opening the card.
'Happy Birthday! I'm so glad we became friends this year." Kagome smiled and stashed the card away.
"Alright, time to open gifts!" Kagome's mother said, pulling out the only gift Kagome had. She grabbed the label. It read: To Kagome. Love Mom and Inuyasha. She gasped and opened the box hurriedly. Inside, she saw a pretty necklace with a pink ball connected to it. She picked it up in astonishment.
"Wow…" She said as Inuyasha got behind her to clasp it around her neck.
"Inuyasha picked it out." Her mother said. Kagome smiled and turned around to wrap her arms around him.
"Thank you, Inuyasha!" She said once the necklace was fastened.
"Happy Birthday Kagome." He said smiling.

Kagome smiled as she woke up in her old room. The familiar smell off the hardwood floors and her old, pink sheets. She'd probably have to change her bedspread at some point. It was a Saturday. 'It's Inuyasha's birthday…' She noted to herself. She turned to the clock… '11 AM' Kagome sighed complacently. WAIT-
11… Inuyasha's party is at 12. Kagome gasped and fell out of bed, covers and all. She quickly ran into her bathroom, brushed her teeth and put on some make-up before rushing back to her bedroom to get dressed.
"What are you in such a hurry for?" Her dad asked, noticing her rushing around the house. Kagome smiled and laughed nervously.
"I have to go to Inuyasha's party." She said. Her dad looked confused.
"Does he know you're back yet?" Kagome shook her head once she finally got her shoes on.
"That's the whole point, Dad…" She said kissing his cheek lightly as she ran out of the house. It was now 11:30. 'Shit' She mentally cussed. 'How could I have woken up so late?' She asked herself as she ran to Kikyou's house. Kikyou only lived a couple houses down, while Inuyasha lived a couple houses down the other way. Kagome did some quick touching up before ringing Kikyou's doorbell. Kikyou opened the door and squealed at the sight of her old best friend. "KAGOME!!"
Kagome still had her long, flowy black hair and hazel eyes, she was a bit taller… but instead of being skinny as a twig, she had hips… not big ones but womanly hips. She had a woman's figure. And my oh my boobs had definitely grown. Her face had matured a little, but not too drastically. She still looked at cute as she did before.
"Hey Kikyou…" Kagome said returning the hug with… not so much enthusiasm. Kikyou released Kagome and smiled. "Sorry… a tiny bit excited." She said laughing. Kagome nodded and tucked her hands into the pockets of her blue jean jacket. Kikyou dragged her inside.
"Inuyasha will be here in about two minutes." Kikyou said… "So go hide in the kitchen."
Kagome looked puzzled. "Is it a surprise party?" She asked. Kikyou shook her head.
"No, Inuyasha doesn't have enough friends for that." She said. Kagome laughed. "He'll just be surprised to see you…" She said, clasping her hands. Kagome nodded.
"Um… can I pee?" She asked. Kikyou giggled and pointed up the stairs. Kagome nodded and thanked her. Just as she shut the door, the doorbell rang. 'Shit' Kagome thought.
"Yashi!" Kikyou said opening the door and throwing her arms around Inuyasha. He smiled and returned the hug. Kikyou kissed him. "Happy Birthday" She said once they parted. Inuyasha walked in and sat on the couch while Kikyou ran out to her car.
"Umm… Kikyou!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha's ears perked up at the sound of her voice. He turned his attention. He stood up and walked over to the bottom of the stairs where Kagome was walking down.
"Your sink is-" Kagome stopped herself at the sight of her old best friend. He had grown much taller, seemed a toned… at least more than he was before… he was still a little scrawny though. His hair had gotten a little longer and his eyes were still that perfect shade of indigo. Inuyasha seemed more stunned than she was.
Kagome had grown so much since he last saw her… and definitely not in a bad way. He noticed her gorgeous locks, beautiful, deep, eyes. Inuyasha felt his throat was dry as he continued to stare at Kagome.
She smiled and ran down the stairs. "Inuyasha!" She said once she finally crashed into him, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his chest. Inuyasha returned the hug, still a little shocked by what was going on.
Kagome pulled away and got a good look at him. "You look quite handsome." She said, patting his shoulder, Inuyasha just blushed…
"Kagome?" He asked looking at her. Kagome's smile faltered.
"Don't tell me you don't remember me…" She said a little disappointed. Inuyasha shook his head.
"Of course, I remember you!" He said embracing her once again. 'You're all I ever think about' he said to himself. Kagome smiled and returned the hug.
"Well I guess no introduction is necessary…" Kikyou said looking at the two of them Inuyasha turned to her, smiling and still holding Kagome.
"Did you know she was here?" He asked her. Kagome looked up at him.
"Happy Birthday!" Kagome said, happily. Kikyou smirked.
"Of course I knew… she's your birthday present." Kikyou said placing a hand on her hip. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and Kikyou.
"How long?" He asked. Kagome looked puzzled as she pulled away from him.
"How long, what?" Kikyou asked.
"How long is she staying?" Inuyasha finished. Kagome dusted herself off.
"Forever, silly. I moved in with my dad." Kagome said walking over to Kikyou. Inuyasha felt happier than ever.
"So, you're back… for good?" He asked. Kagome nodded.

Inuyasha kissed Kikyou as he walked out the door.
"Happy Birthday, Yashi!" Kikyou shouted in a whisper. "Love you." He said to her just before leaving.
"Love you too." Kikyou smiled closing the door.
Inuyasha walked on the sidewalk to his house. He passed by Kagome's house and smiled at the thought of seeing her again.
"Psst!" He heard and turned to Kagome's roof where the noise came from. There he saw Kagome sitting on her roof.
"Come here…" She said, laughing. Inuyasha shook his head and waved her over to him.
"You come here…" He said. Kagome shook her head.
"Noo…" She said.
"Then I guess you don't get to talk to me." He said laughing. Kagome jumped off her roof and caught up with him.
"How're you?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome nodded.
"Good, good… you?" She asked as well. Inuyasha nodded in response, mocking Kagome. She laughed and punched him lightly on the shoulder. They took off walking in the direction to his house.
"So, how's life been?" Kagome asked Inuyasha. He sighed.
"Not so great…" He said sadly.
"Why do you say that?" She asked. He shook his head.
"Just things without you here make life so boring." Kagome smiled feeling flattered.
"Thanks." She said softly.
"So… how has the love life been?" Inuyasha asked her. Kagome felt her cheeks heating up.
"Love life?" She asked. He nodded. "Umm.. well nonexistent." Inuyasha gaped at her.
"You've never had a boyfriend?" He asked. Kagome shook her head.
"I was too in love with you, remember?" She asked making light of their first and only kiss. Inuyasha smirked not really finding it a funny thing. Kagome shook her head. "No… I just didn't like the guys there. They were too… eh… different." She said. Inuyasha nodded.
"I understand. Being different is horrible, right?" He asked. Kagome laughed as they reached his house. Inuyasha sighed.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow maybe…" Inuyasha whispered. Kagome nodded and hugged him.
"'Night, Yash…" She said, kissing his cheek lightly before turned around to go home. Inuyasha blushed and touched the spot where she'd just kissed him. He smiled and ran inside.
