Chapter Thirteen: Happy Birthday Mycia

"Damn it all, Mycia!", growled Inuyasha, sprinting through the forest, "Where the hell are you!"

"Inuyasha, just stay calm!", said Kagome, who was riding on his back, looking eagerly from side to side, hoping to catch a glance of her cousin, "I'm almost positive that she just went for a walk, the only thing that I'm worried about, is that it's freezing out here, and she didn't bring a jacket back to the feudal era!"

"Feh! That crazy girl is probably frozen solid by now! We have to find her, fast!" Kagome nodded. Inuyasha sniffed the air, but there was so much snow around, that he couldn't catch Mycia's scent.

Gentle snowflakes grazed they're faces as they searched for Mycia. But just then, Inuyasha spotted something in the distance. He skitted to a halt, almost slipping on the snow. Kagome followed Inuyasha's gaze to the black splotch a few yards away. Kagome slid off of Inuyasha's back and took a step forward, just as Inuyasha stopped her, "Stay behind me.", he commanded.

Kagome obediently stepped back behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha sniffed the air, trying to catch a scent, but the air was so cold that it stung his sensitve nose. Kagome tried to make out any sort of shape from the black figure headed towards them. And as it came closer, Kagome's eyes widened.

"Mycia!", cried Kagome smiling as she ran past Inuyasha. Inuyasha let out a sigh of releif, but quickly drew it back in when he saw Koga next to Mycia.

"Are you okay? Do you know how worried I was! You know, I told you, it's winter! Why didn't you bring a jacket!", scolded Kagome, death-grip-hugging Mycia.

Mycia laughed, "Don't worry! I'm OK, Koga saved me…again!", Mycia smiled as she looked lovingly at Koga who smirked back, "alright, 'Mom'!" Mycia laughed again.

"Very funny.", sighed Kagome, "Come on, let's get back to the village for some breakfast. Koga, you come too!" Kagome smiled at Koga. Koga's ears perked at that, and that he had heard a deep growl from Inuyasha, "Sure.", he replied cooly, smirking at Inuyasha. Inuyasha "Feh'd", as he walked as close as he could right next to Kagome.

"Inuyasha!", Kagome whispered out of the side of her mouth.

"What?", asked Inuyasha, not whispering.

"SH!", shhed Kagome, placing her index finger to her lips and glared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha sighed, "What!", he whispered this time.

"You don't have to be so paranoid! Koga isn't in love with me any more! He's in love with Mycia!"

"I know that!", Inuyasha hissed back, "But he could all of a sudden go back to you if he wanted to! I mean, come on Kagome, he was obsessed with you! Do you really think that he could just forget about you just like that?" Kagome was about to reply, but realized that she couldn't think of a comback. (cough cough foreshadowing cough cough lol)

So she sighed and looked forward at the couple walking in front of them. Koga and Mycia had laced their fingers together and were quietly talking. Kagome looked up at Koga's face, she saw that he was smiling down at Mycia's face.

Just then Koga, felt eyes on him, and he turned to see Kagome looking at him. Kagome smiled awkwardly, embarrassed that once again, she had been caught starring.

Koga smirked, and gently nodded at Kagome, but then immediately turned his attention back to Mycia. Kagome then smlied to herself and thought, "There's no way that he's still in love with me! Inuyasha's totally wrong!" Kagome gently elbowed Inuyasha.

"Ow! What!", hissed Inuyasha, smart enough to whisper this time.

"Inuyasha, can't you see the way that Koga is looking at Mycia! There's no way that he's still in love with me!" Inuyasha didn't reply, he just glanced up at Mycia and then to Koga.

Both were smiling blissfully.

Inuyasha's eyes softened, and he let out a sigh of releif. Then Inuyasha gently smiled, and whispered to Kagome, "You-Your right Kagome."

Kagome's eyes widened and she looked up at Inuyasha's face. "What did you say?" Kagome asked, not whispering.

"You were right,", continued Inuyasha smiling lightly, "It really does look like Koga isn't in love with you anymore…I-I guess I can stop worrying now. Sorry."

Kagome was shocked.

'You were right' and 'Sorry', were two things that Kagome had never, ever expected to hear form Inuyasha!

"But I still hate him!" Inuyasha added quickly. Kagome giggled, and took Inuyasha's hand in hers. He let out a small laugh too.

>>>>

"Mycia, are you sure!", asked Kagome.

"Kagome, yes,", replied Mycia reassuringly, "I want to spend my birthday here! Just tell the family to put a hold on the party! And if they already got a cake, well then they can eat it!"

"But, why do you want me to go back?", questioned Kagome with a sad face, "Don't you want your favorite cousin to be here!". Mycia laughed.

"Kagome, I want you to go back and tell everyone! I don't want to do it, because they wont let me leave if I try to go after telling them!"

"True…", sighed Kagome.

"Plus,", added Mycia smiling wickedly, "You could always take Inuyasha back with you, and put a certain 'present' of yours to good use…" Kagome's face flushed into a deep crimson.

"Why the hell are you so obsessed with me and Inuyasha!", hissed Kagome, "Worry about yourself and Koga for God's sake!" Mycia grinned, but it quickly faded and she looked away from Kagome.

"What's wrong?"

"I cancelled the courting with Koga." Kagome's eyes widened, "But,", Mycia added quickly, "We will court again, and for sure, become mates, no questions about it." Kagome sighed with relief, but still had a look of worry on her face, "But Mycia, why did you cancel it in the first place?"

"Because-", Mycia began, "because things were moving way too fast. We've only known each other for a few months, and well, I do love him, and of course he love's me, but I just wanted to wait until after I was 16, and after you and Inuyasha, you know, got together." Kagome starred at Mycia shocked, and slightly angry.

"Well Mycia,", began Kagome, tyring not to loose her temper, "You can't just force me and Inuyasha into something that we both might not be ready for, just because you want us to! Do you know how selfish that is?" Mycia hung her head.

"Your right! Kagome, I'm sorry!", Mycia's voice began to crack, "It's just that, you, and your mother, brother, and grandfather…you all, are the only ones that I have! I-I just feel so lonely! And just the thought of being with Koga makes me feel whole. But I wanted to wait until after you and Inuyasha 'did it', because I thought that it would be just stupid, if Koga and I, 'did it', before you two did, because you've known each other, for way longer, and I thought that it would be the right thing! And Kagome, don't you dare say that you don't want to be with Inuyasha, because it's as clear as day, that you do!"

Mycia took a deep gasp for air. Kagome sat dumb-founded next to Mycia. It was all true. Everything that came from Mycia's mouth just a moment ago, was completely true.

"Your right!", Kagome chuckled, "I can't deny it. I do want to 'do it', with Inuyasha. Mycia, I'm sorry, you weren't just thinking of yourself. You were thinking about my feelings. Thanks, cuz."

Kagome turned and hugged Mycia. Mycia returned it back. "And Mycia,", continued Kagome, "I will always be here for you, so will Mom, Sota, and Gramps…even Buyo! But I can definetly assure you that Koga will be there for you too!" Mycia nodded and smiled, "Thanks Kagome. So, tomarrow you'll go back to the present times, and tell everyone?"

"Not before giving you your present from me!", giggled Kagome.

"I guess that'd be okay!", laughed Mycia.

>>>

Inuyasha and Koga sat on the opposite sides of the hut, starring at one another, not saying a word. They barely even blinked. That sat like this until Inuyasha's nose was finally unfrozen and he sniffed the air.

"Wolf!", he spat at Koga.

"What?", asked Koga.

"Why do you carry the scent of Mycia's blood!", growled Inuyasha, standing up slowly. For a brief moment Koga had a look of sadness on his face, before it turned into anger, and he also stood up.

"I don't think that that's any of your business, Mutt!"

"I think it is Koga! And I'm going to ask you one more time…why was Mycia's blood on you!"

"And I'll tell you one more time, it's none of your business!", Koga roared. Inuyasha growled deeply. Just then Kagome and Mycia walked into the hut.

"Sheesh, are you two fighting again!", sighed Kagome looking from Koga to Inuyasha. They both just growled in reply. At that moment, Inuyasha took in a waft of air, and starred at Mycia. Mycia noticed and asked, "What is it?"

"Nothing.", replied Inuyasha, looking away from Mycia and at Koga.

"Oh crap!", Mycia cried all of a sudden, "I forgot mybrush in the other hut! Kagome come with me!" Kagome nodded and she and Mycia left. Inuyasha and Koga were once again left alone. Inuyasha sighed and sat down. Koga continued to stand, waiting for Inuyasha to speek.

"So…", Inuyasha finally started, "That's the reason."

"Listen, I don't need this right now Mutt, especially from you.", sighed Koga slumping down to the floor.

"Did she? Or did you call it off?"

"Mycia did.", Koga replied quietly, "But she has promised that when she is ready, we'll become mates, no question about it."

"Why'd she…you know…do it?", asked Inuyasha quietly.

"Why the hell should I tell you!", snarled Koga.

"Listen you mangy wolf!", Inuyasha started, "I'm just curious, and I might be able to help!"

"Yeah, right!", Koga spat out, clenching his fists, "Why would you help me, and what could you possibly know about this sort of thing!"

"I would help you, because your not in love with Kagome anymore!", Inuyasha shouted at the top of his lungs. Koga sat quietly for a moment and starred at Inuyasha.

"Besides…", Inuyasha continued, droping the volume of his voice, "I've been in a situation, kind'a like this. So I might know a few things…you know, that might help."

Koga sighed and slumped his shoulders, "Mut-Inuyasha…I appreciate that you wanna help,"

Koga stopped and took a breath, it was extremely difficult for him to say all of this to Inuyasha,

"but I don't think that you've been through exactly the same thing that I've been through. Besides, it's not like Mycia and I will never be together again. I mean, hell, she's promised to become mates. And if I know her as well as I think I do, now anyway, then I don't think that she'll go back on that."

Inuyasha blinked in reply.

"So I guess what I'm trying to say…", Koga stuttered, "is…"

Inuyasha grinned and in a cocky voice asked, "What Koga? What is it?"

Koga barred his fangs before choking out, "Th-thanks…any-anyway!"

Inuyasha chuckled, and replied in a gay guy's voice, "Anything for you my little Koga-woga! You're just growing up so fast!"

"Shut up!", shouted Koga crossing his arms across his chest and looking away, his face beet red. Just then Mycia and Kagome walked into the hut, "What'd we miss?", they asked.

>>>>>>

Kagome handed Mycia a very large sized package wrapped in shiny green paper with a cupple of curly pink ribbons attached to the top. It was surprisingly heavy.

"Jeez Kagome…", Mycia started, struggling to hold the box, "What the heck's in this thing?"

"I can't tell you, silly!", Kagome giggled, "it's your birthday present!" Mycia smiled and nodded.

"Make sure that you tell everyone that I'm really sorry for not coming back…", Mycia began, but Kagome cut her off,

"Don't worry about it, they'll understand! We'll all just think of it as…uh…postponing! Yeah, that's it! All we're doing here is postponing your birthday party! Plus, I'm happy to go back home! I need a break from the feudal era for a while anyway!"

And after that, and all of the goodbyes were said, Kagome grabbed her backpack and jumped into the well. Mycia sighed and stood there for a moment, when she noticed that her arms were growing extremely heavy. She looked down at the present in her arms.

"Oh yeah!", Mycia said quietly as she sat down, and leaned her back against the bone eater's well. She smiled as she slowly ripped the thin paper and uncovered her present from Kagome. Mycia's eyes widened as she opened the lid of the cardboard. The box was jammed full with a ton of different things. The first thing that Mycia took out was a large tube of lotion, Mycia tured it over and read the label, "Bed, Bath, and Body Works's: Buttercream Frosting." ( My fav! lol) Mycia's eyes glistened happily as she popped open the top and inhaled the sweat aroma.

"I'll be using this for sure!", she said aloud, placing the lotion beside her. The second item that Mycia pulled out, was a light blue silk robe, who's label read, "Victoria's Secret". Mycia could definitely tell that that's where the robe was from, because when she stood up to hold it in front of her, it only drapped down to her knuckles when she held her arms down.

A sweat drop rolled down Mycia's head. But she still loved the robe (if that's what you could call it! lol), it was gorgeous. Mycia folded the soft silk neatly, and placed it beside the lotion. The next few things that Mycia pulled out, included a dark blue, form fitting winter jacket. Mycia stood up again and tried on the jacket, the inside was foe rabbit fur and it felt wonderful to touch.

The jacket fit Mycia perfectly, hugging all of her curves like magnets. The last couple of things that Mycia pulled out of the box, were a shaving kit, including relaxing oils and other lotions, she also got a dozen brilliant looking arrows to go along with her new bow that was also in the box. (Mycia had been using Kaede's old bow and arrows but w/e lol) Mycia also found at the bottom of the box, a half a dozen scented candles, she loved them all. Mycia sighed in relief as she pulled out the last candle, thinking that there was nothing else in the box. So Mycia tosed the box to the side, but as she did, she heared something slide across the bottom of the box. She looked in to see a very small package sitting in the corner of the card board. Mycia reached her hand in and pulled it out. A sweat drop rolled down Mycia's head and she laughed as she read the label, "Never Take A Chance: Condoms"

"Kagome you suck!…", laughed Mycia, picking up all of her gifts, and carrying them to the hut where she and Sango were staying, "Thanks!", she laughed again. And on the other side of the well, Kagome answered, also giggling, "Your welcome, cuz!"
