Chapter 15

Saturday...

Kagome's P.O.V.

I woke up with my brother jumping up and down on my bed. At first, it was really irritating because he had just interrupted me from my good dream.

I groaned as I threw a pillow at him. It lamely hit him and fell to the floor but my kid brother still had that grin on his face. At least he stopped jumping.

I threw my face back into the mattress of the bed. "Sota! C'mon I was sleeping! Why-"

"Well don't you want to be awake for your birthday?" he laughed back.

My sleepiness was instantly gone and I sat bolt upright. That's right, today's my birthday!

"Happy birthday, sis!" My brother was gigging as he kneeled in front of me. I smiled warmly at him. Maybe having such a hyper-active, positive brother like him wasn't so bad after all.

"Thanks Sota. I'm happy you remembered," I said as I playfully ruffled the top of his head.

That's when my mom called from downstairs. "Kagome! Sota! Come down and get your breakfast!"

"Yeah!" My brother screamed as he jumped from my bed and out the door. Feeling myself grin like an idiot, I ran after him still in my pyjamas.

As soon as my feet hit the last landing, I was instantly met with a sweet aroma.

'Blueberry pancakes!'

My mom greeted me with a smile. "Morning sweetie. Did you sleep alright?"

I smiled. "Yup! I feel as good as ever."

"Good cause today I made your favourite breakfast. Blueberry pancakes!"

I punched a fist in the air in triumph. My nose stands correct!

Hearing some loud eating noises, I looked down at the table to see my brother wolfing down every last slice. My mom laughed.

Turning to me she said, "You should probably go to the table and eat before your brother eats it all."

"Hey! You know I can hear you!" My brother yelled with his mouth full. I laughed and sat down.

Yup, this will be the best day I've had in a long time.

After breakfast...

"Kagome, happy birthday!"

Sango had come over to spend time with me after breakfast.

"Thanks San. I'm glad at you remember," I laughed. But then I couldn't help but sigh.

"Why would you even say that? I'm your best friend! Of course I didn't for…Kaggies, what's wrong? Did your family forget?" Sango became worried.

"No, it's just…I haven't heard from Miro or Inuyasha. And my grandpa is working at the shrine so he couldn't wish me a happy birthday this morning."

Sango gave me a smile…a strange smile…

"Aww, Kaggies. Here, how about this? Why don't you come over to my house and we can…talk and have fun there."

Shrugging I agreed. "Nothing else to do now. Sure, let's go!"

Sango's house...

"Surprise!"

I couldn't stop grinning at the chorus of greetings.

Leave it to Sango to pull a surprise party. I smiled at my closest friends. They didn't forget after all.

"Thanks you guys! I really appreciate it!" I gave Sango an elbow to the stomach. "You sly one, you!"

She laughed and gave me a playful shove. "Now go open your presents!" We went over to the table and sat down.

"Ok I'll go first! Here!" Sango practically squealed out, shoving a box in my hands.

I opened it and gasped, it was a beautiful, purple picture frame with a picture of all of us together. Seeing everyone's smiles was enough to send me on the brink of tears.

"Thanks Sango. I love it!" I said as I hugged her.

"My turn," Miroku smiled, reaching over to give a small package to me.

The whole room stared at the package like it was a bomb about to go off. Who knows what Miroku got me?

Gingerly taking the package, I opened it ever so carefully. When the present…if you can call it that, was revealed, my hand immediately moved to smack him. Everyone in the room except for that boy had a deadpan face on.

"Miroku! What kind of present is that?" I heard Sango yell.

It was a picture of Miroku at the beach in his swim trunks signed, "To my dear friend Kags. I'm sexy and you know it! Love, Miro". In a way, I thought it was funny, because to be honest, Miroku would do something like that. But my other two friends didn't think so.

Sango was throwing anything she could grab at Miroku and Inuyasha…well, when I looked over at Inuyasha, he looked like he was going to commit murder right there and then. He was restraining himself from ripping Miroku's head off so hard, that his knuckles were glaring white when he balled them up. I just sat there, sighing and laughing at the scene playing out for me because this pretty much happens every day of my life.

Yeah, my life is messed up.

When the room finally died down, Sango asked, "Where's your present, Inuyasha?"

When everyone turned to look at him, he blushed a little and stared at the ground.

Sango and I exchanged glances. "Inuyasha, it's ok if you forgot. I understand," I said soothingly.

"Oh he didn't forget," I heard Miroku mumble.

"Shut up, Miroku," Inuyasha mumbled back to him. When he met my confused eyes, he instantly looked away, blushing even more madly.

He stumbled on his words. "No, umm I didn't forget. I just…um…don't have any…I don't physically have a…well…"

Miroku started to snicker whereas I was still lost. I waited for Inuyasha to finish.

"Umm, Kagome I, well, I have to uh, ask you something," he finally said.

"Um…sure! What is it?"

Inuyasha just couldn't meet my eyes. "Kagome…e-ever since I've known you…I-I have been strangely…drawn to you and um…unlike a-all the o-o-other girls…you're…different."

Oh god, is he…asking what I think he is? I was holding my breath.

Inuyasha worried his bottom lip before snapping his head back up, stared at me square in the eyes and blurted, "What I'm trying to ask you is will you be my girlfriend?"

Awww…so sweet.

Thanks and see you next time!
