I don't own Inuyasha.

The Yōkai Child

School-day

Kagome yawned as she stretched in bed. The sun glared through light pink curtains. She looked at the clock and nearly screamed. She had only twenty minutes to get to school or risk another lecture on being on time. She skipped through her morning routine in record timing. Skipping the stairs by two she made it to the kitchen to grab some toast.

"By mom I am late!" She said with the toast in her mouth as she quickly slipped on her shoes. Kagome was out the door before she could hear her mother call 'be careful'.

She hopped on her old bike and pedaled off down the hill. It was scary to go down it but it had a rush when you made it to the bottom. Kagome was doing a dance in her head every time she hit a light. She let out a sigh as she made it to school by only a hairs breath. Kagome found the first class boring which she almost fell asleep in. Around lunch time she finally woke up, it was because Yuka went and whispered something outrageous in her ear about Hojo.

Slapping her friend on the are with a full tomato face. "Yuka I told you it is not like that at all!" she cried a little to loudly. Eri busted out laughing while Ayumi looked at them lost.

"Well than if it is nothing who has you all hot and bothered?" Eri said sly as a fox. Kagome could have sworn to seeing a pair of ear on her head. She also blushed deeply once more, as she thought of the nightmare that plagued her mind. It was always of a handsome young man with silver knee-length hair and amber-gold eyes. In the dream they always fought neither one ever winning the fight.

Suddenly she was forced from her thoughts as she heard all three of them yell. "SO!" the said slamming their hands down.

"Huh?" she asked stupefied by the sudden out-burst. Yuka did a face palm at this answer.

"I said are you inviting Hojo to your party." Yuka said clarifying for her.

Kagome thought about that for a moment. "What party?" she asked now confused. "Wait are you guys throwing me a surprise party!?" she asked surprised.

"Yuka you gave it away!" Ayumi said crying out.

As Kagome walked to her next class she missed what happened next. Yuka and Eri high-five each other, while Ayumi just shook her head.

"You guys are so sneaky she is gonna be made when she finally figures it out." Ayumi warned them, but both girls were to busy with their victory.

The week-end...

Kagome was waiting in the park for her friends when Hojo showed up. He looked frightened for some unknown reason. He walked up to her with a small smile, as he bowed his head.

"I was told to tell you that your friend could not make it." he said quickly. "But I have this...Happy birth day Higurashi-san." Hojo held out a pair of tickets. When Kagome seen them she nearly burst out screaming.

"Oh my is that truly tickets to the..." Kagome had a hard time breathing.

"Yes it is, but there is still sometime before than if you want to go get something to eat before we go." he said putting the tickets back into his pocket.

They headed to the local hang out for teens. It was a small café that served everything from coffee to burgers. They talked till their food arrived which was a not too long. After they walked to the concert hall which was breath-taking. In the time from the café to the hall Kagome and Hojo started to hold hands. Hojo seemed to notice more than Kagome as he had a blush on his face.
