InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Just board ❯ Surprise party ( Chapter 1 )

Hey everyone again!

I know I know! You're all probably wondering WHY I'm even thinking of starting a new story…

Well… it's almost Christmas and I need some new material…

I mean I'm still completing `Destiny can be a well' and `Deranged' but I've decided to put `Something to be proud of' on hold so I can revise it. It's my first piece so it's REALLY rough…

But none a less I had this idea before I even started `Deranged' so I needed to get it out.

BEFORE ANYONE COMENTS ON THIS: I REALISED that the title is `Just board' but no- -! Before ANYONE mistakes this, it's not `just board' as in I was just board when I wrote this it's as in `Just SNOWBOARD' saying this whole story is about SNOWBOARDING… sorry for anyone who understood from the beginning but my brother first comment on the story tittle was "You were just board…" So NO please if you could help me find a better suitable name for this story it'd be helpful for I am… Lets say name short. Plus the name `Just Snowboard' doesn't sound right… eh?

(Yes I AM Canadian and I don't have problem with eh… okay…)

Disclaimer: I don't own any snowboarding mountains…. I don't own any cute Inu ears that I love… I don't own a REAL snowboard… I just don't own…

I'm really sorry if I get any snowboarding facts wrong but I'm not the biggest snowboarder but I do love watching the amazing tricks that I could never accomplish. If any reader is an educate snowboarder that could help me out when it comes to trick I would much appreciate it! Thank you!

Sry bout the long author notes here's the first chapter! Enjoy! ^-^

"A little help!?" Kagome whined barely hanging off the tipping ladder. She clasp the ceiling of the hut as her roll of streamers fell to the ground as the tissue like string roll off of it.

"Great" she sighed to herself as Sango looked up to her. She bent over and picked up the streamers rolling the strand back into the ball it once was.

"Here." Sango smiled handing Kagome the roll. She grabbed the end of the tottering ladder securing her best friend.

"Thank you so much." Kagome explain taping the strand around the hut.

"Are you sure Inuyasha going to like purple streamers?" Sango gaped studying the décor.

"Sango… this is Inuyasha we're talking about. He'll hate ANY colour streamers we get him! Plus this was the only colour I could get." The girl from the future clarified.

"That's true…" Sango smirked at the witty comment.

"What did you get him Sango?" Kagome inquired as she stumbled on the ladder grabbing the ceiling once again to regain her balance.

"A sword sharpener… it took me forever to think what he'd want. He's the type who's impossible to chose for." Sango explained eyeing the embellish room.

Purple streamers hung along each wall with happy birthday banners laid across the borders. A small wooden low set tabled lined with timber chairs around sat in the center of the room. The table had a lace cloth gently arranged on top of its Cedar finish. The blue pattern mad the room's dull dreary cast lightens up to fit the happiness within the room.

It was an amazing site. And Kagome knew it. She wanted this to be Inuyasha's best birthday. It'd been almost a year since they'd first met and his 18th birthday was approaching. It was the 21st of December.

Kagome sighed as she thought of all the birthday's she's had with families and friend. She would always take granted of it. Never understanding that there might be some one else out there who never had some one to hug, kiss or just be plain be with when the mark of their birth was that day. Though last year she'd received the most amazing present of all… it was him. Inuyasha that is.

In Kagome's mind Inuyasha was her 15th birthday present. She may have not enjoyed it or even realized it then. But he surely was. Everything about him was so… so…

Him.

No one was like him.

All Kagome's life she'd known people and they all seemed to welcome Kagome with great ambition.

Inuyasha was different.

He didn't want ANYTHING to with her… at first.

After the first battle they just seemed to bond. He had opened up to her. He had grown accustom to Kagome's warm energizing smile. Who couldn't?

Kagome could feel something with. He was the complete opposite of a the `perfect' guy but for some reason his stubbornness over protective nature and tender lovingness that he'd never let a living soul other than Kagome see just made him so likeable to Kagome.

No she didn't like him she loved him with her whole heart.

Even if he didn't love her and still felt strongly about her incarnation. Kagome would continue loving Inuyasha through the good and the bad.

"What are you getting him Kagome?" Chirped Sango struggling to hold Kagome and the swaying ladder she stood upon.

"Promise you won't tell?" Kagome whispered climbing down the step to reach the ground as Sango stepped out of the way. Kagome eye glittered with joy as the idea flew back into her head.

"I'm taking him to my time to go on a skiing trip at Mt. Fuji!" Kagome exclaimed with glee. Sango frowned in confused at her friends un ruling idea. Kagome walked over to the box of decorations she had brought back form her time ignoring her friend unproving expression. She dug into the plastic bin searching in desire for something valuable.

"Umm… Kagome?" Sango stuttered eyeing Kagome's figure in its desperate pursuit.

`Yes!?" Kagome questioned not lifting her head in acknowledgment of Sango's worry.

"Do you think Inuyasha even know what umm… a `skiing trick' is?" She stammered mistaking the event.

"Sango's it' S-K-I-I-N-G T-R-I-P! Not trick. And why do you say that?" Kagome inquired tossing her ebony locks back and turning her head to face Sango face plagued in anxiety. Kagome pulled wrapped box out of the bin. A light magenta glazed the exterminator's face.

"Because I don't know what is…" Kagome blinked in surprise. In her time everyone knew what skiing was.

Could it be possible skiing and snowboarding wasn't invented in the federal era yet?

"Oh my…" She murmured in threat.

What was she to do? She'd paid 200$ for the excursion that Inuyasha had no clue what it was… This was just great. She didn't have any allowance left to buy anything else.

"You could just explain it to him… like you should me?" Suggested Sango propping the idea of herself learning exactly what this `trip' was about.

"That might work… but you know how Inuyasha is about anything he doesn't understand." Kagome frowned downhearted with her misfortune. She stared at the box in her hand delicately incased within wrapping paper. She slid the package into the pocket in her winter coat.

"But what exactly is it?" Sango questioned frantically.

"Oh… right. Skiing is a sport you do when you're on a mountain with snow. It's mostly done in the winter for obvious reasons. It's where you have to planks of wood and two poles and there are straps to hold your feet in the planks of wood. You go down the hill in control but shifting your weight between your two feet and pushing with the two poles." Kagome explain in a matter of fact-ly voice.

"Sound dangerous to me." Muttered Sango.

"It's not really! There's helmet and ski lift, ski patrol and medical attention!" Kagome exclaimed in a bit of a protest against Sango's theory.

"What a- -?" Sango began but was cut off but Kagome reassuring voice.

"Oh never mind! That's a completely different story! Just rest assured that it's safe!"

"If you say so… " Eyed Sango still not completely sure of Kagome's reasoning.

"Where's Miroku and Shippou anyway?" Kagome asked out of the sudden.

"I think Shippou just off playing in the snow and Miroku… I'm not sure…" Sango scowled.

"I think I have an idea where he is…" Mumbled Kagome darkly.

"Where!?"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXx

"MIROKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sango bellowed face inflamed in rage.

"Yes? My lovely dear Sango?" Miroku pleaded in a sweet sheepish way.

"One minute Ladies… I have to deal with one of my" Miroku cleared his throat with bogus coughs only ticking the exterminator off even more. "*FRIEND* don't worry I'll be back soon to fill out all your lovely requests." Miroku explained to the large group of young maiden hustled around him.

"MIROKU!?" Sango exclaimed lashing his arms and yanking him into the snow-covered field over the wooden fence.

"Yes Sango what is your problem?" The monk questioned calmly lifting his on hand in a respectful way bowing his head slightly.

"YOU'RE BEING A COMPLETE LECHER WITH ABOUT 20 LADIES WHILE INUYASHA'S 18TH BIRTHDAY IS TODAY!" Sango screeched in disbelief of Miroku's immaturity.

"Oh I'm sorry my fair Sango. It slipped my mind." Miroku said with a witty smile place one his face.

`GRRRR! Come ON lets just go before Inuyasha gets back!" Sango exclaimed dragging the monk the rest of the way, home.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXx

"Hurry Shippou! We have to hide so we can surprise Inuyasha." Kagome explained quickly to the young kitsune.

"I still don't understand why we have to do this Kagome? Won't he smell us when he comes in?" Shippou cocked in confusion.

" Still… It's the fact he didn't expect that where gonna through a party that counts." Kagome explained taking the Kitsune into her arms.

"Inuyasha's gonna love you for this." Sango smirked almost vibrating with excitement.

"I hope he'll like it!" Kagome smiled to herself.

Inuyasha wasn't gonna `love' her because of this. He loved Kikyo… not Kagome in Kagome's input. Kagome was quite aware of that fact even though it had been at least 3 months since Inuyasha had ran off to Kikyo.

For some reason 3 months ago when he visited Kikyo he had started treating Kagome with almost a little more respect. Not that he was disrespectful but he seems to give Kagome the treatment she deserved more and more.

Would he be happy with about the trip?

She longed him to be happy with her about it… with her whole heart she loved him and wanted to make him feel loved.

Miroku face was glowing as he heard footsteps in the distance.

Inuyasha trailed down the pathway. It was almost dark and the air was brisk as a winter breeze brushed him. He feet where numb against the icy snow.

All day he'd been out in the loneliness hoping some one would find him. It was his birthday tradition that never ended pleasing. Ever since his mother died he had spent each and every birthday to himself not expecting for a single soul to care. Even with the gang now surrounding him especially Kagome would they really remember his birthday?

I guess not…

Just like old times. He walked back to the hut snowflakes falling. He was now 18… considered an adult in Kagome's time. He couldn't get Kagome of his mind today it seemed. She always made him smile or at least smile inside. But she hadn't seen her today.

He missed her calming smell her warm touch. Her bright smile.

Kagome held her breath as Inuyasha pushed open the swaying down.

"1, 2,3…" Kagome whispered under her breathe but loud enough for the four other friends beside to hear her.

"SURPRISE!" They all exclaimed startling the hanyou who so caught up in his own thought to realize the smell of company.

"Wha- - WHAT THE HELL!?" Inuyasha shrieked in shock.

"Inuyasha happy birthday!" Kagome shouted running up from behind the table wrapping her frame around him.

"Kagome I- -" He couldn't say as a blood rushed to his face. He hugged her back. The powerful embrace meant the world as Inuyasha kept still heaving in the calming vanilla and strawberry scent of Kagome.

"We all got you presents Inuyasha!" Shippou exclaimed lifting the box Kagome help him wrap.

"Aren't you gonna thank us?" Sango asked mirth rushing through her veins.

"Feh!" Inuyasha huffed not wanted to show his gratitude as him and Kagome broke their embrace.

"And we baked you a cake… well I bought it form my time but it's better since you hate my cooking!" Kagome said brushing her raven tresses back.

"Umm… thank you…" He mumbled at Kagome's comment.

"Can we eat cake first Inuyasha!? It's been here for an hour and the smells driving me insane!?" Shippou begged tugging at Inuyasha hoari.

"I guess…?" Inuyasha excepted.

He wasn't quite sure what to think of this. He'd never had so many people who cared about him wish him a happy birthday. He'd never have so many people at a birthday party.

He'd never HAD a birthday party!

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXx

"Mmmmm… this is good shit!" Inuyasha muffled through a mouth full of cake. Kagome had to admit, as much as she loved him he had absolutely no table manners.

"It's not shit! It's cake!" Kagome chuckled sweetly.

"Yea! But is still good!" Inuyasha protested shoveling more `shit' into his face.

Miroku was just as bad. His face was lined with chocolate icing and crumbling cake pieces.

"Do you two EVER act civilized?" Sango inquired already knowing her answer.

"No Sango… they don't!" Shippou smirked.

"Shut it twerp!" Inuyasha managed to dish out in-between his massive mouthful of the pastry.

"Kagome!" Shippou sniveled snuggling into Kagome as if she were a warrior. Inuyasha snarled slightly to see Shippou so close. He loved Kagome. And he realized that after 3 months ago when Kikyo and him the `talk' that changed him.

Kikyo had managed to explain that she moved on, and he needed to too…

She had already learned that her place was in the past in his heart not walking amongst the living. As much as she longed to be with him she knew hell was her destiny and her reincarnation was going to take her place. But forever she would be in Kagome's heart forever.

Upon that declaration Inuyasha knew his fate as well. He was meant to be with Kagome… no questions asked.

"Would you stop!" She fumed at the childless of the man she loved.

About fifteen-minute past as small people talk arose. The topic of Naraku arose but was dismissed by everyone. No one needed the depression Naraku brought up, particularly when it was Inuyasha's day to be happy.

"Can we do presents now Kagome?" Shippou anticipated waiting for her guiding answer.

"Sure why not?" She tried to respond calmly but anxiety was clear through her troubled voice.

"Mine first! Mine first!" Shippou danced handing his package to Inuyasha.

"Okay…"

Inuyasha had never gotten presents in his life. The thought of this made him gleam with satisfaction and rapture. He knew Shippou gift wouldn't be the best but it was something he didn't care about at the moment. He turned the package frowning on what the funny paper was over it.

"Your tear the paper. The present inside!" Kagome chortled slightly instructing the dumb struck hanyou.

"Oh…" He replied shyly. The group of people watch attentively wondering on what the package could hold.

"Ramens!?" He exclaimed with dull excitement as he stood up and walked toward Kagome's bag.

"What are you looking for now!?" She fumed at the impatient hanyou.

"The thing that cooks this!" He responded not lifting his head.

"Wait you just ate! Plus there's more gifts to unwrap!" Kagome raged.

"More!?" Inuyasha questioned in disbelief popping his head.

"Yes!" Sango agreed backing the stressed Kagome up. Inuyasha almost pranced back to his seat in anticipation.

"Here." Miroku handed Inuyasha another package. It was slightly smaller than the last and old wrapped with a beige paper. It was floppy and baffled the curious hanyou. He clawed at the package careful not to scratch what ever was inside.

"It's a new kimono?" He inquired.

"Yea… all you wear is that one I thought you might need a one for a special occasion or something." Miroku explained himself.

"Well thank you." Inuyasha grinned tracing the fabric gently. It was very well made he could tell. The patterns were crafted with care. It was hard to get such thing in this time when deadly villains roamed.

"Now here's mine." Sango replied handing him a larger box with an attachment. He tore it open quickly dazzled by its size.

"Is this what I think it is?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yup, a sword polisher and sharpener made specially in my village. Their amazingly crafted." Sango explained.

"This'll come in handy." Inuyasha smirked placing his hand on his tetsuaiga. The sword meant his life and caring for it was something he couldn't help but do. A man their sword where basically… inseparable.

"Here's mine." Kagome handed him a small package in bright colouful wrapping from her time. She sat back and bit her lip in unease.

"Thanks…" He smiled warmly at her.

"But you didn't even open it yet…"She mumbled shyly.

"Yea I know… I was just thank you? You rather me not to say it at all?" He inquired ruddily.

"No it's just- - oh never mind and open the present!" Kagome spat out. He tore at the paper to reveal a box.

"You got me a box?" He bit startling.

"No the present inside the box!" Kagome pointed flicking over the table at the rectangular prism. He carefully lifted the lid revealing to piece of paper with black ink printing.

"What are they?" Inuyasha cocked his eyebrow.

"There's tickets to Mt. Fuji's ski resort in my time… I bought then in hope you might want to go with me skiing." Kagome whimpered softly not wanting the embarrassment level to go any higher then it was.

"What's skiing?" Inuyasha questioned tilting his head.

"It's a sport but you'll have to come to my time to see tomorrow!" Kagome explain optimism growing in her eyes.

"…"

"Will you go with me?" Kagome propped.

"I'M NOT GOING TO YOUR TIME! NUH UH! NO WAY!" Inuyasha protest rage in his stubbornness.

"SO I PAID 200$ DOLLARS FOR NOTHIN! YOU INSINCERE JERK!"

"200$?" Blinked Inuyasha.

"Yes now SIT!" Kagome screeched then stormed out of the room into the cold winter outdoors.

"Wench wait- -!" He spat out.

"SIT!" She called in the distance.

"I'm sorry…" Inuyasha mumble into the floor regretting his words…
