A/N: And….. I'm back!!! Yay! So, I told you guys that I would make this chapter a long one, and I will. Mostly because this takes us from the time our little Kagome turns one, to the night before she hits age two. Yes, she is growing up very fast. But, didn't you read the first chapter??? She has DaiYoukai and Dragon blood in her. She will grow and mature as fast as they would (which, is obviously very fast), but she will take on the appearance of a human. And she'll go to school the same years that a human would. Don't fret. In this chapter, we will meet… *counts on fingers* three of the characters.

Japanese "Word of the Day" : Where is the toilet? - Toire was doko dess ka? (toy-reh wah DOH-ko dess ka?)

Maybe it's just me, but I think that adding those types of things are cool. It brings in the interest of readers. But I won't use any Japanese phrases or words in my story. I'd get confused. ^-^

TheDarknessAroundMe - What do you mean by, "This seems like a different story plot…?" If you mean from the actual movie, then yes, it is definitely different. I have never actually SEEN the movie, so I couldn't follow the plot. Even if I had seen the movie, I would still not follow the plot. I hate it when authors do that (most of the time). Like I said, I got the IDEA from the commercial that I saw. It wasn't actually supposed the be like the move. Also, I know my grammar kind of sucks, but I am only entering my sophomore year in high school, and I have no beta to read for me, so I am all on my own. I can't help it. I apologize for sucky grammar. Unless I get a beta, that's just something that will be a flaw in my story

Sincerely,

FluffySesshomaruTail

Disclaimer: *Sighs* I still don't own the Inuyasha characters. Or Japan. Poor me, my hopes have been squished. *Cries*

Slowly, guests were pouring into the tan house that sat on top of the largest hill in Tokyo. All were bringing in brightly wrapped gifts and presents. They all wished Kagome a happy birthday, as she stood by the door and answered it.

At the next ring, Kagome jumped up from her seat and yelled, "Got it!" to the whole household. She ran to the door and threw it open, excited to see who was going to appear next behind the front door. She wasn't disappointed.

Behind the door stood a young boy with violet eyes and black hair that was tied u into a small pony tail. He was wearing a purple shirt, and black cargo pants on, with a pair of black tennis shoes. He was about a foot taller than Kagome, and was carrying a large, pink and blue bag in his right hand.

Kagome screamed, "Miroku!" and jumped on him. Unable to keep his balance, Kagome and the unsuspecting boy flew backwards into the dirt. When the dirt cloud released its hold on the both of them, they coughed and laughed. Miroku got up first, and dusted himself off. He looked back at the girl who had thrown him into the dirt.

"You do that every time, Kagome," Miroku said. "Is it going to star to be a tradition?"

Kagome laughed at her cousin. "Yes, but don't go around thinking anything."

The both laughed again. Miroku was her only cousin. He was two years older than she was, and was going to attend a private kindergarten school when he reached four years. Then, he was going to go to the same school that she would be attending in fist grade.

When back in the house, Miroku put his present up on the table where all the other brightly wrapped ones were. Kagome grabbed his hand and pulled him along with her to the living room, where all of her friends and family members sat. They sat together on the couch, joining into the conversation.

A few moments later, the door bell rang again, and Kagome jumped up to get it. She threw the door open, and saw three demon males standing before her.

The tallest one was about six feet tall, and had long, silver hair that almost reached to the ground. He had a black crescent moon that adorned the center of his forehead. He had a jagged, black stripe on each cheek to match the crescent moon on his forehead. He had molten amber eyes that shone brightly, and a bright smile to match it.

The second demon was about a foot taller than her, like her cousin, Miroku. He had silvery hair that also almost reached to the ground, and had the same molten eyes as the older, taller demon. But those were the only similarities shared. Instead of a smile, and eyes that shone brightly, this demon's lips were set in a tight line, and his eyes stared at her coldly. He had a blue crescent moon on his forehead, and two, straight-lined pink striped on each cheek. He carried a small, black bag with dark blue paper sprouting out of it.

Kagome smiled, and then looked at the third demon. He was as tall as she was, and also shared the features of silvery hair and amber eyes. His hair only reached to his butt, and was not fine-looking. It was thick, and messy. His eyes were warm, and they bored holes into Kagome's. He was also smiling, showing a set of sharp fangs. This demon was only a half-demon, she could tell. He had two snow-white ears perched on the top of his head. They were swiveling around, and Kagome giggled.

"Happy birthday, young Kagome," the older demon said to her warmly. The other two just nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Mr. Tashio," Kagome replied in her small voice. "I'm glad you could make it. Please, follow me."

Kagome walked into the house, followed by the three demons. They came across the table of presents, and the demons all placed a present on the table. They then followed the young girl into the grey and blue living room, where everyone sat, having fun.

"Mommy," Kagome said again in her tiny voice. "Our neighbors are here!"

Hitomi turned around to face the three demons, and her eyes widened. "Kagome," she said, "you didn't tell me you invited them."

The oldest demon said, "Oh, I apologize Mrs. Higurashi. Kagome told me that it would be alright with you if we attended for just a few moments."

Hitomi smiled. "No, you are perfectly fine. I just wasn't expecting more people. I would have made extra food for you."

"It is quiet alright. We had already eaten. Do not worry about us," the older demon said again. "My name is Kodamu Tashio. These are my sons," he pointed to the second tallest demon first, and then the smallest one, "Sesshomaru Tashio, who is my heir, and Inuyasha Tashio, my second son."

Sesshomaru bowed in greeting to the older woman. She bowed back. Kagome looked between them, confused as to why everyone was bowing to each other.

"What's going on?" Kagome asked innocently. "Why is everyone bowing to each other?"

Hitomi looked at her small daughter. She smiled and explained, "We are bowing out of respect. When you meet someone new, you should always bow to show that you respect them."

Kagome's eyes widened, and she bowed lowly to the ground before her three demon friends. When she came back up, Kodamu was smiling at her brightly.

"Little Kagome, there is no need," he said to her, patting her on the head. "You did not know, so therefore, I do not mind at all."

Kagome smiled brightly back at him. They all then returned to the party that awaited them.

It was the day after the party, and Kagome was bored playing with her new toys. Her mother had gotten her a huge stuffed animal, and Miroku had gotten her a big pillow, knowing that she loved pillows more than anything ever. Kodamu and his sons, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, had gotten her a few books that they had thought she might be interested in. She was, but she wanted to play with someone.

Kagome walked over to the large white house that sat behind hers. It was twice the size of her house, and had a large green field area in front of it. There was a woman in the front of the house, tending to a small patch of flowers that sat on either side of the front door of the large house.

Kagome walked up to her, and the woman looked up at her. She had long, chocolate brown hair and green eyes. He skin was a little tanned from being in the sun. The woman smiled beautifully at Kagome.

Kagome spoke nervously. "Are Sesshomaru and Inuyasha home?"

The woman stopped her digging and weeding, and said, "Yes, they are inside. Just go through the front door, and down that hall. Take the fourth door to your right. They will be in that room."

Kagome thanked her, and ran into the house. She took off her shoes once she reached the inside of the house, and placed them beside the door. She was in a small hallway, that led to a living room, and - from what she could see - a kitchen. There were a few doors that lined the blue hallway.

Kagome made her way down the hall, and came to the last door that was on her right. She opened it carefully, to find a very large room filled with toys. There was also a huge television that hung on the wall. Someone was obviously playing a game on it; it screen had pictures of characters beating on each other.

Kagome stepped in timidly, and cleared her throat. A little boy that was about her height looked up from his controller to look at Kagome.

"Hey," he said in a small voice. He stopped his game, causing the older boy beside him to look at Kagome carefully.

"Hello Inuyasha, Sesshomaru," Kagome said, waving a hand shortly. Inuyasha smiled, but the older demon only looked at her, giving her the smallest nod.

"How are you guys doing?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha while saying this, focusing the question at him, really.

Inuyasha shrugged. "I'm fine, I guess."

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru, and he just stared at her. Kagome started to laugh. "Wow, Sesshy, I can't believe you just said that!"

Inuyasha looked at her, confused. "What are you talking about? He didn't say anything."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, smiling brightly. "Yeah, he did. He just told me that he was doing fine because he just kicked your butt at a video game."

Inuyasha snorted. "I don't see how that's funny; he cheats."

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru again, and raised an eyebrow. They stared at each other for a long few minutes before Kagome looked at Inuyasha again.

"Sesshy said that he doesn't cheat; he knows everything about the game, therefore, knows how to beat you." Kagome said this while picking up one of the controllers. She looked at the screen and demanded, "Someone teach me how to play this game."

Inuyasha stood in the middle of the room, his mouth hanging open. "How do you know what my brother is thinking, when he isn't even talking?" Inuyasha questioned.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "I have a thing, Inuyasha," she said in a small voice, that sounded very annoyed. "I don't question. I just know."

Inuyasha huffed at his little friend's answer. "Well, I'm not teaching you. Get the fluff-ball to teach you. Since I get beat all the time."

Kagome looked from Inuyasha to Sesshomaru. "Please, Sesshy?" Kagome pleaded with him. She pouted cutely, and Sesshomaru once again just stared at her. Kagome smiled.

"Why don't you like the nickname?" Kagome asked. "Never mind, just teach me!" Kagome pleaded, and he finally gave in.

Kagome sat there for hours, Sesshomaru silently teaching her how to play to game right. Inuyasha sat brooding the whole time, playing with little action figures.

"YES!" Kagome screamed. Inuyasha cringed at the high-pitched scream that just came from the girl in front of the television screen. Sesshomaru looked unaffected.

"I beat you!" Kagome said, pointing at Sesshomaru. He cocked his head to the side just a little, asking a silent question. "I did not cheat. I've never played this game before. I don't help it if I am better than you at your own game."

Sesshomaru's head returned to a normal position, and he turned to the screen again, silently calling a rematch. Kagome accepted, and beat him once again.

Inuyasha once again stared at her, with his mouth open wide in shock. There was just no way! He and Sesshomaru had been playing that game for months, and he could never beat his brother. But Kagome had just begun playing a few hours ago, and she had already beat him twice. It was just not possible!

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/

Sesshomaru had smelled her when she first opened the door to the massive toy room. It was a scent that was odd, and unforgettable. She smelled of tiger lilies and the ocean. It was something that he had never smelled before. And it was laced with awe, too.

The young girl came into the room, and timidly said her hello's. Sesshomaru had only stared at her, silently answering her questions. No one had ever been able to understand him. Sesshomaru barely talked, if any time at all. He was quiet, but Kagome had known every answer he thought of in his mind. She even laughed at him.

To say the least, Sesshomaru was stunned when she asked for him to teach her how to play the game he and his little half-brother had been playing. He silently taught her, and was, again, surprised when she beat him after only a few hours.

Sesshomaru reprimanded her, accusing her of cheating. He then asked her if she had played this game before. She said no, she had not.

She once again beat him after he demanded a rematch. He could not reprimand her, however, because that was the moment where his father had chosen to walk in and collect Kagome.

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/

After beating Sesshomaru twice, Kodamu walked in, and told Kagome that it was time for her to leave. She hugged Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, then skipped out behind their father.

It had been an eventful day overall.

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/

After that day, Kagome went over to the Tashio's house everyday, and played with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. She could understand Sesshomaru more and more, and eventually, a bond grew between them.

Inuyasha also grew closer to Kagome, but he wasn't as close to her as she was to his brother. That bothered Inuyasha greatly. He didn't think his icicle of a brother could have a friend, but it had appeared that he made a friend in Kagome.

A/N: Wow. That was a good chapter!!! I am proud of myself! Over 2,600 words!! Wow! EXCITED! Hahahaha. Okay. Well, I guess that is as good as any place to stop. I don't know what to do for the next few chapters…. Does anyone have suggestions?

Review please!

Kodamu was a name I made up, so I don't know if it is Japanese, or what it's meaning is, so there!

Sesshomaru - killing perfection

Inuyasha - dog demon

Miroku - Maitreya Buddha (I know, weird!)

And that's it!

Love,
