[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Meanwhile, on the other side of the well, our favorite hanyou was sitting in Kaede's Hut, rather impatiently awaiting Kagome's return. He was currently drumming his fingers on his knee.
"Would you stop that fidgeting Inuyasha, she will be back before you know it," Sango was growing more and more impatient irritated bye the second.
"That stupid girl, and her stupid party," Inuyasha mumbled under his breath," Maybe I should just go and wish her a happy birthday."
He stoop and headed outside with a sinister grin on his face.
"Why do I get the feeling nothing good will come of this," Miroku said as he watched Inuyasha leave.
'She's coming back, even if I have to throw her over my shoulders and drag her back' Inuyasha thought as he headed towards the well. Suddenly, he was hit with a familiar scent...Kagome. But why was she back already? Inuyasha took a deep break. No, that wouldn't be Kagome, it was the scent of a demon, or at least a half demon. Inuyasha had to investigate this new smell. He followed it and found himself at the well. He couldn't believe what he saw when he reached the smell. There, heaving her yellow backpack over her shoulder, was Kagome. He had to look twice, afraid his eyes were deceiving him. Was she a demon?
"Ka...Kagome" Inuyasha stuttered as he leapt over to where she was standing.
"Oh, hello Inuyasha," she replied as if nothing was wrong.
"What happened to you?" Inuyasha stared at her ears, then where they used to be, and back to her new ones.
"Come on, lets find the others, I want to explain it to you guys together so I don't have to repeat myself." She said as started walking off in the direction of the village.
Inuyasha followed, an expression of bewilderment across his face.

"So you're a hanyou then" Sango said, Kagome has just finished telling them everything her mother had told her.
"Is he as strong as you Inuyasha?" Shippo asked, jumping on the hanyou's knee.
Inuyasha looked down at the kitsune, not sure what to say. He really didn't know how strong she was now. He was spared having to answer when Miroku spoke up.
"What ever happened to your father then?" Kagome opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted.
"I can answer that one," Kaede said," I have heard many rumors of the demon lord Taiken. He once ruled over all of the eastern lands. He was incredibly powerful, but had many enemies. It is said that a great sorceress imprisoned him. The sorceress had always had her eyes on Taiken. She believed that if the two of them were together, they would be unstoppable. Taiken always ignored her advances, and brushed her aside. The last time that Taiken was known to have met with the sorceress, he told her that he had found a mate and that this human woman had given him a daughter. She was furious, and used her magic to imprison him. She now searches for this mortal women, and her hanyou daughter, believing that if she kills them, Taiken will agree to be with her."
Kagome sat, looking down at her skirt trying to ingest all of this information. How would Inuyasha react if she told him she wanted to look for her father?
"Where can we find this sorceress?" Inuyasha asked, shocking Kagome. Would he really help her find him, even if it meant taking a break from their search for the jewel shards?
"The sorceress, Sanai, lives in a castle far to the north of this village." Kaede answered.
"Fine, Kagome, we will find Sanai and free Taiken," Inuyasha stated," Miroku, Sango, you can continue to search for Naraku without us if you want to."
"No," Sango stood up," we are a team now, and we should not be split up. I will come with you Kagome, we can always listen for rumors of Naraku and the jewel shards along our way. Plus, there is no way you guys are leaving me alone with his letch."
Miroku stood up next to her," I agree with Sango, well, except the last part. We are a team now. All of you have there when I needed you. You stick by me, even though this hole in my hand could one day suck us all in. I will stick with you Kagome, as long as you need me."
"There is no way I'm going to be left behind," Shippo jumped on Kagome's shoulder.
"Alright, we will head out in the morning," Inuyasha stated," By the way, Kagome, Happy Birthday."
