InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sweet 16 redone ❯ Party Preperation ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Ok, I posted this story once before, I know, but I wasn't completely satisfied with it. I've started rewriting it. For those of you who have read the first one, if you could just let me know which one you like better, that would help me a lot. I can't decide if I want to continue rewriting it and make the changes I had planned or if I should go back to my original story. My main problem with the first one was that everything seemed to move to fast and some parts didn't make sense. Once I get this fic on track, I want to write a prologue to go along with it that goes more into Nisume's life to explain what she went through so you understand what happened after Taiken left.

"Sit boy," Kagome Higurashi's voice echoed through out the forest, disturbing the surrounding wild life. She just ended the argument she was having with a certainhanyou. She stormed off to the Bone-Eater's Well in a frazzled state, thinking back on what had just occurred.

* * *

It all started when Kagome told Inuyasha she would be spending the next two nights on her side of the well. She had a perfectly acceptable reason, tomorrow was her sixteenth birthday. That didn't make any difference to Inuyasha. He wasn't going to let her leave; not without a fight. Inuyasha, though he would never admit it, was always miserable when Kagome was gone. Their search for the sacred jewel shards was put on hold, that stupid monk would spend most of his time unconscious for having grabbed Sango and then there was that kitsune pup who would ask when Kagome would return every five seconds. 'No, there is no way I'm going to let her leave for some stupid party,' Inuyasha thought as he blocked her way to the well.

"You're staying here wench," he told her in his usual arrogant tone.

"Inuyasha, this is my sixteenth birthday, it's a huge milestone in a girls life. I don't want to spend it here fighting demons. Plus, I spend so much time over here with you guys that I don't ever have anytime for my other friends. I feel like I hardly see any of them anymore. I just want one day to be a normal girls and have a normal party to celebrate my birthday without any demons or jewel shards to interrupt things," Kagome had rehearsed this several times in her head, knowing Inuyasha would not just let her go.

"No," Inuaysha said, offering no explanation, like mothers often do (A/N" at least mine doesn't)

"Please Inuyasha, it will only be for two days. I'll come back Saturday afternoon, I promise," She smiled sweetly at him. It didn't really matter what he said,
she was going even if she had "sit" him twenty times first.

"I told you Kagome, you're not leaving, end of story," Inuyasha glared at kagome's false smile. He had a fairly good idea what was coming next,

* * *

'He was being unreasonable. He only got what he deserved,' Kagome thought as she reached the well. She glanced back at Inuyasha's forest and thought of her friends. She was starting to regret not spending her birthday with them. Kagome felt closer to her family in the feudal era than she did to anyone else. She wanted to share this with them, but she really did need a day off. She could celebrate with them when she got back. Kagome took a deep breath and jumped into the well.

* * *

When Kagome reached the other side of the well, she heard voices talking outside the well house. The first voice she heard was her grandfather's, the second belonged to a young boy Kagome's age.

"Yep, she'll probably have to stay in bed for awhile, until she regains her strength,"

"Oh no, that's awful, do you think she'll be feeling better in time for her party tomorrow?"

"Oh, probably not, the doctor said she probably won't be able to move for another week or two."

Kagome decided she should make her presence known before her grandpa did anymore damage.

"Hey, Hojo," she yelled as she exited the well house.

"Oh, hey Higurashi. What are you doing out of bed?" he asked, a worried expression on his face.

"Don't worry, I'm feeling fine, really," Kagome replied with a fake smile.
"That's great news," the concern fading into a smile.

"I came over to find out if you were still having your party tomorrow."

"Yep, four o'clock sharp. You're coming right?" she said.

"Of course, I'll see you then ok, I really should be heading home. Good-bye Kagome," he said as he turned to leave.

"See ya, Hojo," she called as he made his way down the steps. Kagome turned and headed inside to work on the final preperations for her party, leaving her disappointed grandpa outside. His newest fake illness for Kagome had gone unused.
When Kagome finally went to bed that night, she was exhausted, but she couldn't seem to fall asleep. She had too much on her mind. Tomorrow was not only her
sixteenth birthday, but it was also exactly one year after she first traveled through the well. She could still remember the day she first met Inuyasha- he had actually threatened to kill her! Their relationship has grown so much since then. Kagome could hardly remember what her life was like before Inuyasha. In a way, it was empty. Her life had lacked the adventure
and emotion that it thrived on today. She had become so much stronger, emotionally and physically. She had realized awhile ago that she owed this transformation in herself to Inuyasha, she had also finally admitted to herself how she truly felt about him. She just hadn't told anyone else yet. What would her life have been like if she hadn't fallen in love with a hanyou?


A/N: This chapter isn't much different then the first time I wrote it, but after the first couple of chapters, things will change, and I'll explain to you more what it is that I'm going to change from the first one.
