Friend5: HELLO! This is my first story, so PLEASE go easy on me!

Cai: why should they?

F5:sighok, this is my arrogant muse, Cailin

Cai: I AM NOT arrogant

F5: Whatever. ON TO THE DISLCLAIMER!

Disclaimer: HAHAHAHAHA I own Inuyasha! He is ALL (men in black business suits come in and begin to drag Friend5 away) NO wait, HELP fine, he's not mine (sigh) the world is so unfair (sob). Well, on with the story!

Sweet Sixteen……or not

"Kagome! Hurry up or you'll be late!" Souta yelled up to Kagome, who was busy getting herself ready for her 16th birthday.

"I'll be down in a minute! Besides, I need to grab, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku , Shippo and Kirara!" Kagome was turning 16, but unlike other sixteen year-olds, she almost forgot her birthday, due to the fact she was too busy worrying about running from demons and other monsters that dotted the countryside of Feudal Japan. The miko in question dashed downstairs, passed a startled little brother, breezing through the kitchen, and out the door, heading for the old well that transported her to the Feudal era, where her anxious and annoyed friends were waiting for her to tell them what all the big rush was for.

Flashback

Earlier that morning in Sengoku Jidai, Sango was gently shaken out of her sleep to stare into the smiling, cheery face of Kagome.

"Kagome, go back to sleep, its not even dawn yet." The disgruntled demon exterminator mumbled. The overly bright face didn't change.

"Come on Sango, we have to get you all ready for my birthday!" Kagome whispered, or tried to.

"Huh?" Was the confused exterminators answer. Kagome sighed. She would have a lot to explain to them about the customs of her time.

"I'll tell you all later. You have to help me get the rest of the gang up." Sango got up, albeit that she protested getting up so early, and followed Kagome into the hut next door, where the guys slept. Inuyasha was already up, though that wasn't surprising, since he seemed to never sleep at all.

"What are YOU doing up so early, Sango?" A confused Inuyasha asked. Sango pointed at the young girl now trying to rouse a sleepy Miroku. Suddenly, a loud scream, followed by "PERVERT" and a slap, that left the monk wide awake with swirly eyes (along with a handprint), reverberated around the small hut, while Shippo just shook his head and remarked

"He NEVER learns" while Inuyasha was next to the monk, adding to his pain and pulling a very unhappy Kagome away, and a very mad Sango was hitting a now almost unconscious monk on the head with her Hirikoste,(sp?) while screams of "PERVERT" could be heard. Kagome sighed,

"Now that were all awake, I can tell you why you're awake so early" Kagome said, gaining the attention of all the inhabitants. Everyone looked expectantly at her, even the monk. "Well, today is my 16th birthday, which is a big deal back where I come from. My mom said I could bring you all for it too. It's going to be a big party, but I'll tell you more before I take you to my time. OKAY! Be good and I'll be back in a couple hours. Get ready and meet me by the well in 3 hours!" With this said, Kagome dashed off, leaving four very confused friends and a cat demon that was just plain startled at the girl's abrupt explanation. All five heads turned to the center, and four of them said "Now what?"

End Flashback

Now the 5 friends were waiting for Kagome to appear, and pondering what she had told them this morning, before she had dashed off.

"Does anyone know what this birthday thing Kagome was talking about?" Shippo asked, voicing everyone's thoughts. 4 heads shook, and they all pondered what Kagome meant by 'birthday', but before anyone had come up with an answer, Kagome suddenly yelled up,

"CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?" and Inuyasha jumped down into the well, coming up with a still overly cheerful Kagome.

"Can you tell us what this birthday thing is now Kagome?" Shippo asked, a very thoughtful but confused expression on his little face. Kagome smiled, picked up Shippo and walked over to Goshinkibo, (sp?) followed by the rest of the gang. Kagome sat down among the roots and began to explain the customs of her time, what a birthday was, and about the things they might find in her time, including cars and huge buildings. Inuyasha helped, as he had been to her world before, and together they got the gang ready for the scares or her world.

1 hour later

After the questions and explanations, the group was ready to go, although they had been a bit worried when Kagome had told them about gifts, but she had assured them that her mom had apparently covered that. Sango and Shippo went first, with Kagome, and Miroku went with Inuyasha. Miroku raised objections however.

"Why can't I go with Kagome?" He had asked.

"Because you're a pervert." Inuyasha had retorted, giving Miroku a new lump before jumping into the well. On the other side, Kagome was explaining the concept of cars again when the two guys came out of the well.

"I know you told us about them, but still, they look like demons or something." Sango was saying, pointing at a large black limo waiting in Kagome's front yard.

"No, Sango, they move people from one place to another without tiring the people out." Kagome said, going for the simplest answer.

"Feh," Inuyasha said, walking up to the front door and opening in, "are you all comin'?"

"Yea yea, we're coming. Follow me you guys. And be warned, my mother is a little odd." Kagome retorted. The five walked into the house, greeted by Ms. Higurashi (a/n, does anyone know her name?) and were ushered into the living room while the miko hurried upstairs to get ready for her big day.

At the Party!

"Mom! I can't believe you got reservations at TEEN WORLD! I thought that was the hardest place to get in to!" Kagome shouted, hugging her mother ecstatically (a/n I have no idea what kind of things there are for birthdays for teens over there, so I made them up!) Inuyasha couldn't see what Kagome was so excited about, but had to admit it was pretty cool. Surrounding them were games and games, rides explicitly for them to play on, and a fancy restaurant, and they seemed to be having Kagome's party here. 'Well, Kagome should get the best…wait a sec. Did I just say that?' were Inuyasha's confused thoughts. He shook his head, hearing Tsia (a/n that's what I'm calling Kagome's mother) say almost the exact same thing. 'Whatever' Inuyasha thought.

Two hours later, while Kagome was trying to get Inuyasha and Sango (Miroku and Shippo had gone elsewhere and Kirara had stayed at home to play with Buyo) to go on this ride with her when Eri, Yuki and Ayami walked up.

"Hey Kagome! Great party! How…" Eri suddenly notice Inuyasha and had started to drool, "Where did you find him? He is sooo handsome! Can I have him? That is, if you don't already?" Ayami and Yuki had suddenly noticed him as well, and their expressions were similar to Eri's. Inuyasha began to back away.

"No guys, you can't have him, sorry. Well…"Kagome suddenly stopped, hearing her mother over the intercom call out that it was time for cake and gifts "YEAH! PRESENT TIME!" Kagome yelled, much like a little kid. All of the gang regrouped (they had new clothes that Tsia had given them, to blend in, but Inuyasha hated them) and headed over to the designated table. Cake was passed around and enjoyed. Then came Kagome's favorite part, the gifts. Kagome squealed with delight, but when her mother handed her her last gift, she said to wait until later. Kagome did so, a little confused, and set it aside, in her purse. She thanked everyone and left, getting in the limo and encouraging her friends to do so as well. They followed, a little skittish, and they headed back home. Kagome's summer dress, light sea green, was spread around her as she sat, going over her list of thank yous. Inuyasha was keeping Miroku from groping Sango again, and 'Pervert' was exchanged, along with a couple blows.

At Home

"Mom, when can I open this?" Kagome asked, pointing at the small bow her mother had given her.

"When you go the feudal era" her mother replied without even looking at her daughter. Kagome sighed. She hated surprises.

'Aw well' she thought 'she'd just have to wait' that night, they had a good dinner, and the gang went to sleep in Kagome's house.

In Sengoku Jidai the next day

"So glad to be back!" Sango exclaimed, "not that I dislike your time, but I enjoy the peace and quite sometimes." She stretched and walked over to the Goshinkibo.

"Agreed" everyone, even Kagome said. Kagome had been restless, wondering what was in the package. Following Sango, she pulled the small box out of her bag. She sat in the roots and opened it. Inside there was a small piece of paper that looked a little worn. Kagome took it out and opened it. There was writing on the note, written in her mother's handwriting. It read

Kagome,

It is time you found out who you truly are.

Mom

"Hmmm, short note. Wonder what's in the box." Kagome turned the box upside down and a small amount of white powder fell onto Kagome's face. She sneezed, then inhaled, drawing some of the dust into her lungs. Suddenly Sango looked over at her and gasped.

"K-Kagome?"
