Chapter 30

Happy Birthday

"Come on Kagome! Please? Lighten up!" Sango said noticing that her best friend had been out of it ever since this morning. She had tried everything. They got their nails done. They got their hair done. Now they're at the mall shopping and Kagome still looked bummed out. She knew the reason to that too and couldn't blame her best friend for being so sad.

"I'm sorry Sango. I'm just ruining your day with you worrying about me. I'm fine. Really. I just wont think about it." Kagome forced a smile and turned her head to look at the clothing in the racks.

"No I'm sorry. I know how you must feel right now but this is you're eighteenth birthday. Eighteen only comes around once in a lifetime and it's symboling the day you turn into a woman!" Sango shouted smiling happily.

Kagome smiled slightly and nodded. "I know. I should be happy." She said mostly trying to convince herself. "I mean. I got great grades in college. I past the exams. And I'm turning eighteen. I should be really happy." She said mostly to herself.

Sango sighed. She knew she was just saying that for her sake. "Kagome, I know Inuyasha is in New York right now and he can't make it, but at least he didn't forget! Look at all those flowers he sent you this morning! And you're birthday isn't til two days!"

Kagome smiled remembering opening the front door to at leastfive guys each bringing in a dozen of white lillies - her favorite - in her house. All signed by Inuyasha. She had been so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, but then she remembered her birthday coming up and he wouldn't be there. That's when Sango had taken her out and done anything she could to make her happy again.

And she should be grateful really. All Sango has done for the past two months that Inuyasha was gone was keep her company and always trying her best to make her happy. She was grateful. Sango had been a great best friend and she appreciated everything. And what did she do in return? Mope around the house constantly hoping Inuyasha would walk through that door and hug her then tell her he loved her.

It wasn't that bad that he was gone. Two months went by quickly and she could wait two more months til he came for winter break. Every night he would call her and they would talk for hours until they had to go to bed for classes. Even on weekends they would talk non-stop about nothing and everything. She knew he loved it there. Every time she would ask about it she could sense the excitement in his voice even if he was trying to hide it. After all it had been one of his dreams come true - going to NYU and hoping to graduate from there. She was happy for him of course.

The thought of her being alone again on her birthday without the love of her life there came back to her mind. She didn't know if she could enjoy her birthday without him there. But she would try for Sango's sake and everyone else's. She couldn't be moping around on her eighteenth birthday!

"You want to go home now?" Sango asked.

She had moved into her and Inuyasha's house after Sesshomaru and Rin came back from their honeymoon and took their stuff and moved into their own place. Kagome was happy that Sango had moved in. She didn't know what she would do every night not having someone to talk to when she wasn't on the phone with Inuyasha. It was different though because of the time period he would call her really late at night which for him was really early in the morning.

"Yeah. Sorry for being bummed again." Kagome said.

"It's okay. I know you miss him. Don't worry okay? You will still have a great birthday!" Sango said excitedly.

This time Kagome did smiled, slightly but a true smile. "Yeah! I promise that I will not ruin my own birthday." She vowed.

-Two days later-

Kagome walked over to the door sleepily in her robe. Rubbing her eyes and yawning first she headed for the door and opened it. Despite her sleepiness her eyes widened and she gasped at the men standing on her porch. Some holding dozens of flowers. Some holding balloons. One of them holding a giant stuffed teddy bear. Wow. She couldn't move as she stared.

They started entering her house leaving everything on the table and on the floor in her living room. Once they were done Kagome walked through the maze of flowers in her living room reading each card attatched to them.

'Happy Birthday baby. I love you. Always and Forever.'

All of them said that. She smiled and even a few tears of joy escaped her eyes. After checking all the flowers she ran to the phone dialing the apartment number she knew by heart. She waited and waited but no one answered. Then she hung up and dialed his cell phone number. It must be three 'o' clock in the morning over there but really she didn't care. She just wanted to speak to him now.

"What?" A sleepy rude voice came over the other line.

"Inuyasha? Thank you so much! I love you!" Kagome squeeled.

Inuyasha opened his eyes realizing who it was on the phone. He straightened up in his seat and looked at his watch. He wasn't sure where he was yet but his watch said it was aroundone am. Then he remembered why he was here and what she was talking about.

"Happy birthday baby." He said still some traces of sleep in his voice.

"Thank you so much!" Kagome squeeled again gripping the phone tightly.

"How do you like them?" He asked looking out the window.

"I love them!"

"Good. Kagome, I gotta tell you something."

"Ok. What?" She asked still smiling. Sango walked into the kitchen where Kagome was talking on the phone and looked at her wide eyed pointing a finger towards the living room.

Sango mouthed 'Inuyasha?' to Kagome who nodded smiling to Sango as she mouthed the words 'wow'.

"I got another surprise for you coming okay?"

Kagome felt excitement flow through her again. "Ok." She said.

Inuyasha could sense the smile in her voice although he couldn't see her. "Ok. I want you to be home at midnight tonight. I got something coming for you." He said.

"Midnight?" She questioned. It was kinda late but since it was a friday she could stay up late. There were no classes the next day.

"Yeah. Midnight. Be home alright?"

"Alright." She nodded knowing he couldn't see her. "What is it?" She asked hoping he would give her a hint.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you."

Kagome sighed. "A hint?" She tried again.

Inuyasha was silent for a while. It wouldn't hurt to give her a hint right? "It's big." He said not knowing anything else he could tell her.

"Big?"

"Yup."

"Ok. Oh Inuyasha?"

"Yea?"

"I called your apartment but nobody answered." She said suspiciously. She could trust him but she still wanted to know why he wasn't home.

"Oh um...phone died. I only had one so I have to get a new one." He said.

"Oh ok. You're home right?" She asked.

"Yeah. I was sleeping getting ready for classes tomarrow."

"Alright. I'll let you go then. Sango is planning on taking me out today. Talk to you later?"

"Yeah. Later. Love you."

"Love you too. Bye." Kagome hung up the phone after he said bye sadly. Sango looked at her sadly too but she was determined to give Kagome a great eighteenth birthday.

"You better get ready. Today's a big day!" Sango grinned.

Kagome turned away from the phone and smiled happily. "Ok!" She ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs to get ready.

-Later-

The rest of the day went by in a blur. Sango and Rin had gone out to a spa and spent the entire morning and early afternoon there. After that the guys joined them, Miroku and Sesshomaru, and they all went out for dinner then dancing. Kagome didn't really want to dance with any guys so she just danced with her girlfriends the whole time. She loved them. They made sure she wasn't sad and was having fun.

Once they were all tired out from dancing they left at ten to go to Kagome's house and finish celebrating. They had skipped classes today and Kagome was grateful for that.

They made Kagome a huge cake and Kagome blew out her eighteen candles. She was happy though she knew she missed Inuyasha more than anything. She couldn't wait til midnight to figure out what he had sent her this time. Just two more hours. They watched her favorite movie and after the movie was over Sesshy and Rin left to their home. Miroku took Sango to the kitchen and told her something. When she came back she was grinning like crazy.

"Kagome. I'm so so so so so sorry but I have to go home with Miroku tonight." She said apologetically.

Kagome seemed a bit disappointed at her leaving her alone in the house but she nodded and forced a smile. "Alright. It's okay Sango. Thanks for everything today." She said.

"Your welcome. Happy birthday again!"

"Thanks."

"Ok. Call me tomarrow morning when you want me to come back ok?" She said.

"Ok sure." Kagome nodded. She glanced over at Miroku. He had that look on his face like when he knew something big that nobody else knew. She wondered what it was.

"See ya later Kags." He said. He had started calling her that a few months ago. She had no idea why but it didn't bother her.

"Kay. Bye guys." She and Sango hugged and then they left leaving her alone in the house.

She sighed and went to her room. It seemed so empty everytime she came in here. It didn't smell like her and Inuyasha anymore remembering all his cologne and sprays he used but now it just smelled like her. Only girls stuff. Gods how she missed him.

Glancing at the clock she saw it was eleven-fourty-eight. Twelve minutes til midnight struck. She wondered just what else he could possible get for her. She would've changed out of her tight jeans and red shirt if she wasn't waiting for the present Inuyasha was sending her. She didn't want to go up to the door in her robe at midnight now did she?

Eleven-fifty-five. Just five more minutes. She couldn't wait five more minutes. She made her way to the living room to wait there. Turning on the t.v she decided to watch some romance movie on lifetime.

Finally the door bell rang and she all but jumped up and flew to the door. Opening the door she gasped as her hands flew to her mouth as her eyes went as wide as plates.
