InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Lavender ❯ Kagome's Twentieth Birthday ( Chapter 5 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Hi! Here is the next chapter. I don't own the plot and Inuyasha cast. ( Got the idea from a
movie.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome's Twentieth Birthday

Kagome grumbled as she walked down the sidewalk. Her friends had pushed her out of
the garden (where they work) and told her to take a break and come back in a few hours. "What
am I suppose to do?" Kagome asked herself. Without thinking, she walked to the hospital to
check on her sister.
Kagome knocked on the door, "Come in." came Janet's voice.
"Janet, how are you feeling?"
"Great! Though I really miss Kouga."
"You saw him two days ago."
"And ever since then, I have been in the hospital. Mom is overprotective. I'm fine."
"Don't be mad at mom, she just really loves us and doesn't want us to get hurt."
"I know, but I want to experience love without hiding behind her back!"
"Janet, calm down or you will be in the hospital even longer."
"Your right, but it's so annoying. I can't even have strong emotion or I could cough up
blood, and some day die."
"Don't forget Janet, you're not the only one. I have it too."
"You can control your emotion better, because you haven't found love yet!"
"Janet, please calm down. For me, mom, and Kouga you can't die."
"It's not what you can control. There is no cure for this disease. (I don't know the name
for it. So I will refer to it as the disease.) We both will die! That is why I want to have love
before I die. You should too."
Kagome looked at Janet sadly and nodded her head, "I will try to find love." Then
Kagome left, so Janet could calm down and sleep.

When Kagome stepped out of the hospital, reporters crowded around her. "What is your
name?" asked a reporter.
"What is your relation with Sesshoumaru?" asked another. While the others kept taking
pictures an writing down whatever Kagome said.
"Are you his girlfriend?"
"Why did he kiss you in front of everybody?"
"How long have you known each other?"
Kagome quickly walked toward the garden with reporters following closely after.
Kagome arrived and Kikyou, Sango, and Inuyasha jumped out and cried, "Surprise, happy
birthday Kagome!"
Kagome was shocked and happy that her friends remembered her birthday. Soon, she was
snapped out of it when reporters began to ask, "It's your birthday?"
"How old are you?"
"Is Sesshoumaru coming?"
"How do you feel?"
Inuyasha seeing Kagome stressed pushed all the reporters out and after an hour, they left.
Except a red- haired reporter who refused to budge. Inuyasha ignored him and walked back. No
one asked Kagome any questions, because they didn't want to ruin her birthday. Kagome was
glad they didn't.

Sesshoumaru sat on his couch and flipped through the channels bored to death. When he
caught Kagome's name. The news were about her and the kiss. Sesshoumaru felt horrible, he had
embarrassed her.
Sesshoumaru was thinking of ways to apologize when the news said, "She wouldn't
admit that Sesshoumaru is her boyfriend, and wouldn't answer most of the questions. Anyway,
Kagome is having her twentieth birthday today." the reporter continued to talk, but Sesshoumaru
wasn't listening anymore. He rushed out the door and got in his car and drove away.

"Kagome, make three wishes then blow out the candles!" said Sango enthusiastically.
"Yeah, then tell us two of your wishes and don't tell anyone your last." piped in Kikyou.
Kagome closed her eyes and made three wishes. Then she opened them and blew out the
candles. Everyone cheered and began to eat the cake. After they all had a slice, Sango asked,
"Tell us two of your wishes!"
"My first wish is that my family and friends will have a healthy and happy life. The
second, I want to have a whole garden of lavender flowers in a greenhouse."
"Your so kind!" commented Kikyou, "You always think of your family and us."
Then everyone gave Kagome her presents, while Inuyasha was deep in thought. "So she
wants a greenhouse full of lavenders." he thought to himself.
Everyone was happy and having a great time except Kagome. She felt something was
missing. "I feel tired, so I will go home early." said Kagome to her friends.
"Okay," replied Sango, "See you tomorrow." Everyone continued eating as Kagome left.
Kagome did not go home, but to the school she went to with Sesshoumaru when they were
young. She looked at the classrooms and smiled then went out into the school gardens.

Sesshoumaru parked his car outside of his childhood school and walked in. For some
reason, his mind is telling him it is important to come here. "I can't believe I forgot Kagome's
birthday when I had promised her."
He looked at the classroom and went inside and memories of his childhood flooded him.
He then walked out and into the garden where he saw Kagome crouched down, tending the
lavender flowers he plated their many years before. The lavenders from their bottle was also from
that patch.
He walked up to Kagome as she turned around and looked at him. "Kagome, I'm sorry
for what I did at that party." apologized Sesshoumaru.
Kagome smiled and said, "I forgive you."
They stood there and just stared into each others eyes intently. Kagome then knew why
she didn't feel happy at her birthday party, Sesshoumaru wasn't there. They were broken out of
their trance when young children's started coming toward them and asking them questions.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome, then grabbed her hands and ran out to a quiet place.
When they stopped, Kagome was out of breath. They looked at their hands which was
still holding, and quickly let go. Sesshoumaru saw how hard Kagome was breathing and asked,
"Are you okay?"
"Yes." lied Kagome.
"I remember you were never that healthy. You never told me what was wrong." said
Sesshoumaru concerned.
Kagome tried to change the topic, so she asked, "So how was America?"
"Good." lied Sesshoumaru not asking Kagome about her health if she didn't want to talk
about it.
"Um, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"What is her name?"
"Kagura."
"I bet she is really kind and beautiful."
"She is, she helped me out a lot. Also, I am sorry for all the reporters. I will find a way to
get rid of them for you. I will tell them we are not having a relationship, and we are just
childhood friends, nothing more."
Kagome for some reasons, felt really sad at those words, but she ignored it and spent a
happy evening with Sesshoumaru. They talked about their life and what they did. Soon it became
dark.
"Come," said Sesshoumaru holding a hand out for her, "I'll drive you home."
"Why?"
"It's dangerous to walk at night."

Soon Sesshoumaru and Kagome had reached their destination. Kagome thanked
Sesshoumaru and got out and knocked the door. Surprisingly, Janet opened it.
Janet seeing Kagome's shock said, "I was let out right after you left."
Kagome nodded her head when Janet noticed the car and someone in it. She couldn't
make out the looks, but she could tell it was a man.
Sesshoumaru, seeing everything was alright drove home. "It seems you took my advice,
Kagome." said Janet happily.
Kagome turned a bright red and said, "We are not having a relationship." Then Kagome
walked upstairs to take a bath.
Janet looked at Kagome and thought, "Right, I so believe you my dear sister. I believe
you so very much." She smiled, knowing what is happening right away.
