Chapter 2: InuYasha's Birthday

As a chibi Kagome in Kagome's mind started to dance, Kagome felt her smile grow as InuYasha's eyes widened at what she had just said, his mouth was gaping as he looked at her as if she had grown another head.

“H…how did you know?!”

Snickering, Kagome clapped InuYasha once on the back before gripping his hand and started to drag him towards the kitchen, “I have my ways InuYasha…but I do have one question…”

Now in the kitchen, Kagome and her family all faced InuYasha with an inquisitive look in their eyes, InuYasha shifted uncomfortably under their gaze. “Yeah?”

Feeling her smile turn positively evil, Kagome glanced wickedly at her mother before locking her sights back on the Hanyou before them, “how old are you?”

Kagome had expected many reactions from InuYasha at her words, but the flash of pain through his bronze orbs wasn't one of them, “it doesn't matter…I'm old enough.”

Not liking where InuYasha was going with this, Kagome sent her mother a look and was relieved when she nodded, “sorry…I didn't mean to upset you InuYasha. Here, take a seat…”

Pointing to the chair at her side, Kagome flashed InuYasha a pleading smile and felt relieved when he moved forwards and sat down, he still hadn't said anything but at least he was still listening to her.

“Alright, wait right here, I'll be right back!” Turning, Kagome sprinted from the room and hurried up the steps to her room, once she entered, Kagome looked around and made sure everything was ready.

Letting out the breath she had been holding, Kagome walked over to her desk and pulled out a drawer, out of it she lifted a small chest. Once the chest was secure in her arms, Kagome shut the drawer and hurried back downstairs.

As she entered the kitchen, Kagome smiled openly at the content look InuYasha had upon his face as he ate the ramen that her mother had apparently prepared for him.

Walking over, Kagome sat in the chair next to InuYasha and set the chest on the table before her, “what's that Kagome?” Smirking at InuYasha's questioning tone, Kagome turned towards him to find that he had stopped eating for a moment to ask.

“This is part one of many, it's a gift for you InuYasha…it's a birthday present.” Seeing InuYasha's eyes widen in surprise, Kagome gently pushed the chest towards him, “go on, you can open it.”

Raising an eyebrow at the look of utter joy on Kagome's face, InuYasha took a deep breath as he gripped either side of the chests lid, `guess I have no choice.'

Hearing the barely audible `squeak' of the lid opening, InuYasha could only look at the contents inside in confusion and slight surprise, sitting inside of the chest sat a wooden handled brush and next to it was a Ziploc baggy stuffed full with hair-ties.

But of course, InuYasha didn't know that and merely looked at Kagome like she was crazy or something, “what? Don't you like them?”

“I…uh…what are they?” Flushing red at that, Kagome looked away and nearly slammed her head against the nearest wall, `duh Kagome! Duh! Of course he wouldn't know what they are! He's from 500 years in the past, I can't believe I forgot that! I am such a ditz sometimes!'

As her mind continued to call her several other and rather colorful names, Kagome cleared her throat before she turned to face InuYasha again, “sorry about that, hand them to me and I'll explain, alright?”

InuYasha merely nodded his head as he slid the now open chest back over to Kagome, smiling, Kagome took out the brush and the bag. After removing a hair-tie, Kagome stood and came to a stop behind InuYasha, “alright, hold still InuYasha. You might feel a couple tugs here or there, but other than that, everything should be fine.”

Seeing another nod, Kagome slowly lifted the brush and began to run it gently through InuYasha's locks, the brush caught almost automatically in her first sweep and Kagome nearly started to chuckle at the small grunt that she heard in response.

The minutes passed by quickly and Kagome soon lost count of how many times she had run her brush through InuYasha's ragged hair, but soon his hair had smoothed out and had become almost silky to the touch.

Pleased with her work, Kagome lifted a hair-tie and gathered InuYasha's hair into a ponytail, once that was done she braided his hair and then fastened it off at the end. Letting out a breath as she finished, Kagome tossed the braid over his shoulder and took a step back.

Smiling to herself, Kagome looked over the faces of her family and seeing their surprised faces was enough for her, “turn around InuYasha, I want to see how it looks.”

InuYasha seemed to hesitate for a moment before he finally turned to face her, Kagome literally felt her world come to a stop at what he looked like. Now that his hair was brushed, InuYasha's hair had a sheen to it that wasn't there before and Kagome couldn't help but stare at him in complete surprise.

`Oh Kami! He is totally hot!! Why didn't I think of this before?!'

“Kagome?”

Shaking out of her thoughts, Kagome saw that InuYasha was looking at her with a weary look on his face, “sorry about that InuYasha, here,” holding out her hand Kagome flashed InuYasha a smile, “come with me and I'll give you the rest of your presents.”

Looking down at Kagome's hand, InuYasha grudgingly took her hand and let her lead him from the kitchen, he could see another smile making it's way across her lips and frankly it was really starting to freak him out.

A/N- Well, there it is, I know, it's really short and not a very good chapt, but I couldn't think of anything else to put in this chapt.

I garrentee that the next chapt will be longer though, so no worries there...

Anyway, I will update this in the next two to three months, depending on how much time I have off from work and school...

Till then...

Ja Ne!
