Hey everyone. Sorry about not updating in a while. I lost my notebook so I couldn't continue the story. Anyways here's the next chapter. Hope you like it.

Chapter Eight- Kagome's Birthday

Inuyasha and Kagome were almost back at the village. "Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Hmm?" was his response.

"Why were you the one who came to get me? I mean one of the others could have come but you did. Why?" she asked looking at him.

'I can't tell her the real reason. I'm not ready yet.' He thought. "Well I couldn't let anything happen to you, because then we wouldn't be able to find jewel shards." He replied.

"Oh. Is that so?" Kagome asked with anger and hurt in her voice. She released his hand and walked ahead of him.

"Kagome? Hey wait up." He tried to catch up to her.

"Inuyasha..... Sit boy, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, siiit!" Kagome shouted before storming off to Kaede's hut.

Kagome moved the curtain and walked inside to be tackled by a brown fuzz ball. "Kagome! You're okay!" Shippo said happily.

"Yes Shippo, I'm okay. I just got lost, but Inuyasha found me." Kagome replied hugging him.

"Which reminds me Kagome? Where is Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Oh. He just hanging around in the forest." She stated. Kaede handed Kagome a bowl of stew. "Thanks." She said. Throughout dinner everyone talked among themselves except Kagome who was too lost in her thoughts.

'Looks like I was right. I am just a shard detector too Inuyasha. I should just go home and never come back. Inuyasha then could be with Kikyou without me in the way.' She thought. Everyone was now getting ready for bed. 'Yes, I've decided. I'll leave early in the morning.' Kagome thought before falling asleep.

Out in the forest with Inuyasha

"Damn it! I'm such an idiot! Why do I always say the things that hurt her?" He yelled at himself. "That's all I ever seem to do, hurt her." He continued. "I'll just tell her I'm sorry in the morning." He told himself before closing his eyes but keeping his senses on high alert.

Kagome's dream

"Kartron are you here?" Kagome questioned.

"Yes, I'm right here Lady Kagome." Kartron responded.

"May I ask what the heck those spider webs were the last time we spoke?" she asked with confusion in her voice.

"They belong to the one who has captured me." He replied.

"And that would be?" Kagome asked again.

"He is...." He couldn't finish his sentence before spider webs were grabbing both of them.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Kagome screamed before everything went black.

End of dream

She snapped her eyes open and shot up into a sitting position. 'Okay I'm going home now.' Kagome thought. In a few minutes her things were packed and she was out the door.

Inuyasha sat on the branch of the tree. Suddenly he saw Kagome walking by with all her things and no jewel fragment. 'She's not going home forever is she? No, I won't let her.' He thought. Inuyasha leapt down in front of her making her jump.

"You scared me half to death, Inuyasha." She said angrily.

"Sorry." He replied. When she tried to walk past him, he grabbed her by the arm.

"Let me go." She whispered.

"Why are you leaving Kagome? It's your birthday." He asked with some confusion in his voice.

"I don't have to tell you. Besides I thought you never wanted to see me again?" she spat. He winced at the thought of her leaving forever.

"Look I'm sorry I said all those things. I didn't mean them. Now will you please stay? Everyone worked really hard to make today special for you and they will be heartbroken if you leave." He said. Kagome hated guilt trips. She sighed.

"Fine I'll stay." She replied, slowly limping back to the hut.

Later that day

Kagome woke up when the sun hit her eyes. She slowly sat up and winced in pain. 'Damn my injuries still haven't healed.' She thought just when Sango walked in.

"Good morning, Kagome. Happy Birthday." Sango said.

"Thanks Sango." She replied. Sango then gave Kagome her breakfast then walked outside.

'After today I'm going home and not coming back. I'm sorry everyone but this isn't where I belong, and nothing is going to change my mind.' She thought while finishing her meal. She then went into the back room and got changed into clean clothes. When she came back out Kilala was cleaning up. "Oh Kilala I can help you if you want." She offered.

"No that's alright and besides you are not going to do any work today. By the way, Happy Birthday." Kilala said with a grin. Kagome nodded and walked outside. As soon as she exited the hut she was hugged by a brown fuzz ball.

"Kagome! Happy Birthday!" Shippo shouted.

"Thank you Shippo." She replied setting him down. When she glanced around, everyone was with Kaede except Inuyasha and Kilala. Kagome walked over. "Good morning." She said with a warm smile.

"Happy Birthday." Everyone except Sesshomaru said in unison.

"Where's Inuyasha?" she asked.

"We haven't seen him since yesterday." Miroku said.

"Oh." Kagome said sadly. 'So he asks me to stay then just takes off. That's real nice of him.' She thought a frown forming on her face.

"Lady Kagome are you alright?" Rin asked.

"Yes I'm okay." Kagome replied.

"Shopping time!" Sango and Kilala shouted.

"Huh?" Kagome asked. They were already dragging her away with Rin in tow.

At the party

"Come on Kagome hurry up." Sango said.

"Okay." Was her reply. She was in the back room changing into the kimono Sango got for her to wear for the party. Soon everyone came in with their gifts.

"Where's Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked.

"She's getting changed." Kilala answered. Just then Kagome walked out in a navy blue kimono that went to her knees, with long sleeves, and silver flowers going up the side. Inuyasha stared at Kagome in awe. When Kagome looked over at him, he looked away turning to hold back the blush that threatened to creep upon his cheeks.

First the all sat and ate dinner. Taking among themselves. Inuyasha stole glances of Kagome whenever he could thinking she didn't notice him. As soon as they finished eating the presents were brought over. The first one was a small box. "Who's it from?" Rin questioned.

"There's no name." Kagome stated before opening. Inside was a charm bracelet. The next gift was from Shippo. It was a baby blue hooded cloak with roses on the hood and bottom. "Aww. It's beautiful. Thank you Shippo." Kagome said giving him a hug.

"You're welcome." He said.

The next gift was from Kilala. It was a small hand bag with a star on it to put small items in. "Thanks Kilala." She said hugging her. Kilala just giggled. Then it was Miroku's gift, which was a gold pendant that said 'best friends forever' on the back. Sango's gift was a beautiful pink and purple kimono. The two hugged. Next was Sesshomaru and Rin's gift. It was a silver comb with diamonds on it. Kagome hugged Rin and just nodded her thanks to Sesshomaru.

Finally it was Inuyasha's gift. Which was a beautiful pearl necklace and bracelet. "Oh. They're beautiful Inuyasha thank you." She said giving him a big hug.

"No problem." Inuyasha replied. He then brought his head down and whispered in her ear, "Meet me at the waterfall." After that everyone started to clean up.

"Hey wait a minute! How come I didn't get a hug?" Miroku asked/shouted. Everyone glared at him. "What?" he asked. Everyone shook their heads at his stupidity.

"Well we have nothing else planned so you can do whatever you want Lady Kagome." Rin stated. Kagome nodded.

"I'm going to go for a walk." She said before exiting the hut and head to the waterfall.

Well that's all for this chapter. Just so you people know there will be a sequel. I just haven't thought of a title yet. Anyways, hope you liked it. Please review. Until next time. Byes!
