Chapter 2: Kagome's Birthday
It was now Monday, and it was back to school, and Kagome was heading to the school when Sango, Rin, Miroku and Inuyasha joined her, Sesshomaru, Kikyo and Onigumo were riding with Sesshomaru.
"Oh yeah Tanjoubi omedetou!" Sango cried out hugging Kagome.
"Oh, Arigato Sango," Kagome said smiling.
"When is the party," Rin asked, linking arms with Kagome.
"I don't really want a party," Kagome said, turning away from her friends.
Rin leaned over to Sango and whispered into her ear. "Well then we'll ask her mother,"
"OK," Sango said, and they continued walking to the school.
"Oh, I hope Koga doesn't do what he did last year," Kagome said suddenly.
"What did he do last year," Inuyasha asked curious, as he felt a pang of jealousy wash over him, but he couldn't tell her what he'd heard last night and not get the cold shoulder from her.
"Last year Koga went all out and decorated her locker, and gave her a yellow rose with a card saying that she was his woman," Sango said, disgust clear in her voice.
"But he doesn't know Kags' favorite flower," Rin said, "So she ignored him for three days straight, we were so proud,"
"Well if he wasn't so pushy maybe I may have given him a chance, but I know that Ayame likes him so that's one of the reasons why I wouldn't date him," Kagome said, sighing in exasperation. Kagome, Inuyasha, and Rin have the same homeroom, while Sango has homeroom with Miroku and Kikyo. "Well we better hurry so we aren't late," Kagome had a blush creeping up her cheeks as she sped up.
"What's with Kags," Miroku asked in a clueless manner.
"That's none of your concern," Sango snapped.
"Well it is when she's my cousin," Miroku said going into big-brother mode.
"Well she doesn't want you to know, what with your loose lips," Rin said, and she sped up to catch up with Kagome. Sango on the other hand had vanished.
With Sango
Sango pulled out her cell phone, and dialed Kagome's number.
"Moushi, Moushi," came the voice of Mrs. Higurashi, or Keiko as her mother called her.
"O hayou gozaimasu Higurashi-san," Sango said politely, "When is Kagome's birthday party?"
"Tonight at 7, that should be plenty of time to get her a gift I think," Mrs. Higurashi said.
"Arigato,"
"Jaamataashita," they hung up.
"I have to tell the others," Sango said and hurried to her homeroom. She sent Rin a text message. Rin Kags b-day party tonite at 7
With Kagome, Rin, and Inuyasha
"So Kagome what do you want for your birthday," Rin asked smiling.
"I don't know," Kagome said. 'Truth is I want Inuyasha, but he can't know that,' she thought with a blush spreading. "I guess, I would actually love it if one guy gave me my favorite flower,"
"So you want some lillies," Rin asked with a smirk, she knew for a fact that Inuyasha and Kagome both liked each other equally, she found out Inuyasha like Kagome through Sesshomaru.
"Yes, that would be a great gift," Kagome said. "I got another yellow rose from Koga," she sighed.
"When will he realize you don't like him and move on," Rin said rolling her eyes.
"I don't know," Kagome sighed.
7 O'clock Kagome's house
Kagome was up in her room writing in her diary, about nothing in particular.
Meanwhile down stairs...
"Ok, is everyone ready?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, everyone nodded. All the people attending were, Kagome's friends, Sango's family, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's parents, and Miroku's family, and Shippo.
"Ok, Sota go get your sister," Mrs. Higurashi said, Sota nodded. "And shut the light off on your way out," Sota quickly turned the light out and ran up the stairs. When he reached the door he knocked.
"What is it?" Kagome asked opening her door.
"Okaasan wants you to downstairs," Sota said, trying to hide a smirk.
"Ok," she followed him down. "Um, why is it so dark?" the lights flicked on.
"SURPRISE!" everyone yelled, she looked completely shocked but smiled anyways.
"You guys didn't have to," she said, trying not to cry she was so happy.
"We wanted to," Sango said and everyone nodded in agreement. She hugged Kagome.
"It's time for cake," Mrs. Higurashi said, and everyone agreed. They brought out Mrs. Higurashi's homemade cake, with 16 candles on it.
"Make a wish," Rin said, Kagome closed her eyes and thought about it.
'I wish that my friends are happy, all the time,' she blew the candles out.
"What did ya wish for," Sota asked, Kagome shook her head.
"Can't tell ya if I want it to come true," she replied. Mrs. Higurashi cut the cake and passed it out with mint chocolate chip icecream. Kagome sat with her friends, they talked while they ate.
"So are you all right that we threw you a party?" Rin asked.
"It's great, all though I did see this coming," Kagome laughed.
"So Kags, are you looking up to the talent show?" Kikyo asked.
"Well I'm kinda nervous," Kagome replied. "I mean what if I mess up,"
"Kagome you'll be fine," Rin said, in truth she had heard Kagome sing and found out she was really good.
