Disclaimer: Question: why would I be on if I owned Inuyasha? Wouldn't I be better spending my time drawing the actual manga instead of ENDING it? I finished it and I'm a little depressed now…

Note: This is a chapter I missed...and it could be seen as an alternate to chapter fifteen...so enjoy...

Bundle of Joy

Kikyo smiled sadly, "Okay…I really liked spending all that time with you but again, your life shouldn't have to revolve around me…"

Inuyasha looked downwards. "Kikyo, I…"

"If you don't mind, I think I'm gonna go home," Kikyo cut in with a hint of sorrow in her voice, "You should go be with Mizuko…" her voice cracked and she ran off.

Inuyasha didn't need his superior sense of smell to figure out she was crying. "I am so messed right now. And stupid, very stupid…I keep making people cry...I keep making people mad…argh!" He kicked a stone as hard as he could and watched as it flew off into the distance…then he heard the sound of glass shattering.

"Hey!" a man cried, "Who threw this stone?"

Inuyasha duck and ran the hell out of there. He made it home, exhausted.

"Daddy!" Mizuko cried, rushing towards him, "Mommy said you'd get here, Mizuko didn't believe her but Mommy was right!"

Kagome walked in and sighed, "Why are you so tired? Did Kikyo take it that bad?"

"No…but the man who's window got smashed did…" Inuyasha replied.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "What did you do?"

"Does it really matter?" Inuyasha replied.

Kagome shook her head and sighed, "I guess not since you're not gonna tell me."

Mizuko cleared her throat to get attention directed back at her. "Daddy what you gonna get Mizuko for Mizuko's birthday?"

"Birthday?" Inuyasha and Kagome both gasped.

Mizuko nodded, "It's in…one, two…three weeks!"

Kagome and Inuyasha turned to each other in shock. "Three weeks?"

Mizuko nodded, "Three weeks!" Then she ran off giggling.

"Her birthday is in three weeks," Kagome replied, "And what have we got planned?"

"Nothing," Inuyasha answered, "But do we need to plan something?"

Kagome gave him this look like he was stupid. "She has been talking and talking and talking about parties, but you wouldn't know that would you?"

Inuyasha winced, "I'm here now, aren't I?"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "So, we need to plan a party right now. Decorations, food, presents, entertainment, games, presents!"

"Do you even know the exact day of her birthday, Super Mom?" Inuyasha retorted.

Kagome glared at him. Then she smiled, "Mizuko, honey? When exactly is your birthday?"

"Three weeks from today!" she giggled, "The 14th of Apil!"

Kagome smirked, "Her birthday is three weeks from today. The fourteenth of April."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Then it has to be after school. I know all our friends will be able to come, I can call my stupid Aunt. I can get the kids I have to babysit too since sometimes I pick them up from school."

"Kikyo will probably be able to come," Kagome declared, knowing he was avoiding her name.

Inuyasha nodded, "We can get party supplies from a supply store but I know she likes Dora and they sell Dora party supplies at the dollar store."

"Cheapskate," Kagome muttered then added, "You can bake a cake, can't you?"

Inuyasha nodded, "But I think it'll be better if your mom makes it."

"Okay, this won't be so hard," Kagome sighed.

Inuyasha sighed, "It better not be…"

-On the Day of the Birthday-

The gang hurriedly set up everything before Kagome went to go get Mizuko from her house.

"This is so much fun!" Eriko squealed.

Bankotsu rolled his eyes. "Only someone of your IQ can find a kid's birthday party fun and exciting."

"Hey!" Eriko cried.

Inuyasha turned to her. "If you don't shut up this party'll become your funeral."

Eriko gulped.

"Now, everybody has to hide because 'Mizuko wikes surpwises!' " Inuyasha announced with false cheeriness.

They all hid. Then the doorknob turned and when the door swung open everyone cried, "SURPRISE!"

"Thank you!" Aunt Tsubasa exclaimed, "But it isn't my birthday!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "False alarm. Stupid Aunt, can't even show up on time. Everyone back into hiding. Stupid party."

Then they heard Kagome cry out mustering what anyone would consider her worst acting skills. "Oh my, Mizuko I wonder if there is anyone hiding in there." Which actually prolonged the surprise because it took a while for everyone to get over how lame that was.

"SURPRISE!" they all screamed causing Mizuko to giggle and Kagome scream.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at Kagome who glared right back.

Kikyo smiled, "Let's get this par-tay started!"

Inuyasha's shoulders slumped, "Don't ever say that again Kikyo."

Kikyo rolled her eyes. "Then let's have some fun already!"

Mizuko giggled, "Let's have fun!"


Just imagine a fun and hilarious party because I don't really feel like dedicating a chapter to it...
