Shippo woke up extra early this morning. It was his birthday and couldn't wait for his gifts. But before waking everyone up to be showered in gifts he tip toed around them to reach the bone eaters well. He looked into the deep well hoping Kagome would climb out of it and give him a gift for his birthday. He waited for a while but gave up and knew it wasn't going to happen.
Inuyasha sat in his favorite tree pondering what to give to Shippo. It had to be something real good because he had gone through a lot with Kagome leaving and all. Inuyasha had spent the whole night thinking of something to give Shippo but still had nothing." Damn what should I get that kid." Inuyasha thought. "Wait I could-" Inuyasha jumped up and headed towards the nearest stream.
Kagome was baking a cake. It was Shippo's birthday and she wanted to make him a little something special since she hadn't seen him in nearly six months. She didn't know if foxes could have chocolate so it was vanilla. She put it in the oven and head upstairs. She took a shower and washed her hair with her lavender shampoo, it was Inuyasha favorite even through he would never admit it. She got out of the shower and blow dried her hair.
Kagome went to her closet and picked out an outfit. It was a brown shirt and in pink letters it read "True love 4 Sale" and a jean skirt. She was brushing her hair when Sota came in.
"Hey sis who are you making that cake for?" He asked.
"Shippo I'm headed back to the feudal era today."
Sota stared in shock." Wow does that mean you have forgiven Inuyasha for whatever he did?"
Kagome put the brush down and got up. "Nope, it Shippo's birthday and I have to give Inuyasha something" Kagome said.
"Oh" Sota replied his head hang low "well I'll see you when you get back"
Kagome open the drawer in her desk and pulled out her jewelry box. She slowly opened it and pulled out the jewel shard. "Well I guess this will be my finally goodbye to everyone."
Kagome held back her tears and put the jewel shard in her pocket. She headed down the stairs to check on Shippo's cake.
"That one's from me." Sango said as Shippo opened the small wrapped up package. It was a new set of clothes. It was a kimono just like Inuyasha except that it was a forest green color like Shippo's eyes.
"Wow" Shippo said as he stared in amazement. He jumped up and hugged Sango. "Thanks a lot."
"Well try it on for us child" Kaede said.
Shippo carefully unfolded the kimono and put in on.
"Wow Shippo you look just like Inuyasha in that." Sango said
That put a huge smile on Shippo's face. "Really I do?"
"Yup, just like him." Miroku said.
"Speaking of Inuyasha where is he, he is the last to give Shippo his gift." Kaede said.
Just then Inuyasha burst into Kaede's hut. "Sorry I'm late Shippo I had to wash your gift." Inuyasha said looking down at the young fox demon.
"Wow I like your new kimono" Inuyasha said.
"Yeah thanks." Shippo said putting on the pants so that he was wearing the full outfit. "So what did you get me."
"Just a little something" Inuyasha said "It should match your kimono nicely." Inuyasha said reaching into his kimono and pulling out a small wrapped up gift.
Shippo took the present from him and eagerly ripped away the packing. He stopped all of a sudden.
"What is wrong child" Kaede said. Inuyasha smiled while the others just waited for Shippo to explain. Shippo turned around teary-eyed. "Its Kagome's scarf" He managed to say. Holding the forest green scarf in his hand. The others gasped as they saw it. Inuyasha smiled as the young kitsune grabbed at his leg.
"Inuyasha." Was all Shippo said but it was enough. Inuyasha picked Shippo up and hugged him.
"You're welcome Shippo."
Kagome iced the cake and put it in a box. She headed towards the well with Sota right behind her. She burned the first cake and making the second one took forever it was already night time.
She opened the door and walked over to the well and placed the cake on the edge.
"Ok Sota if Hojo calls tell him I have a headache and can't talk. Tell him I'll call him tomorrow I will be back by then." Kagome said
"Ok, have fun" Sota said.
Kagome grabbed the cake and swung her legs over. She took a deep breath and jumped in.
Inuyasha and the others were having a special dinner for Shippo's birthday.
Shippo was wearing his new kimono and Kagome's scarf.
"You know what I miss most about Kagome?" Shippo asked.
All eyes were on him.
"No Shippo why don't you tell us." Miroku said.
"Well I miss the way that's she'd sometime sing to me when I couldn't fall asleep." Shippo said.
"I didn't know she did that." Sango said.
"Yup she did." Shippo said looking into his cup.
"Well I miss the way that we'd talk about stuff" said Sango. "What do you miss Miroku?"
"I miss her bottom-" Sango hit him across the face.
"OW! Sango I wasn't finished. I was going to say I miss her bottomless heart, she was so kind.
"Oh sorry" Sango said
"I miss the child's sprit she was always so cheerful." Kaede said. All eyes were on Inuyasha.
"I um…" Inuyasha jumped up.
"It couldn't be" he shouted.
"Inuyasha what is it?" Shippo asked. He sniffed the air. His eyes opened widely, his smelling senses may not have been as good as Inuyasha's but he could smell this it was Kagome.
Inuyasha looked at Shippo and nodded his head, they both ran out of Kaede's hut.
"Where are you guys going?" Miroku shouted as him, Sango and Kaede followed. Inuyasha ran as fast as he could. Shippo was not too far behind the scent of Kagome pushed his to run fast. When Inuyasha and Shippo reached the bone eaters well the stopped dead in their tracks standing there with a box in her hand was Kagome.
