DISCLAIMER:
"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true ...
All I want for Christmas
Is you ..." (lyrics by Mariah Carey and W. Afanasieff)
*sigh* But I'm not getting them. "InuYasha" and "Yu Yu Hakusho" will forever belong their creators, Takahashi-san and Togashi-san. But I am getting Hiei and Kagome action figures! ^_^

I have never tried to write up someone else's suggestion before, but when Taiyoukai Taika-sama requested a drabble with Kagome taking Souta to see Santa, and Hiei getting jealous when she sits on his lap, I thought I might just be able to pull it off. I don't know if this is quite what you had in mind, but I hope it's okay, -- it’s longer than a drabble, and it took a strangely naughty turn at the end. ^_~ (I think that subconsciously, I had to reinforce Hiei’s claim after writing a Youko/Kag one. LOL!!)

"Tell me again why we are going to a place so overrun with ningen?" Hiei demanded.

"I already told you my friends asked me to meet them here," Kagome rolled her eyes at him. "They said they have a surprise for me, and to bring Souta along."

"I don't like those three females. They are annoying," he scowled.

"Hiei doesn't like them because they said he's too short for you," Souta whispered.

Kagome giggled. "They only said that because he scared them so bad they nearly peed their pants when they tried to set me up on a date with Hojo. They'd never heard anyone growl like that before. But that was a long time ago, -- we weren't even mated then."

"Yeah, but they've been away at University. Did you tell them you're getting married?' her brother asked.

"No, I wanted to tell them in person."

A wicked grin suddenly lit up Hiei's face. "I'll tell them."

"Kagome! Over here! Hurry!" Eri called.

"It's so good to see you!" Kagome said, hugging each of her friends.

"You, too! But we should hurry in, -- we can talk as we wait in line," Ayumi told her, pulling her into one of the busiest stores on the street.

"Come on, Souta," Yuka grabbed his hand and pulled along behind her. "You're going to love this."

"Hn. I am not going in there," Hiei announced, getting the attention of the three girls and Kagome.

"Oh, Hiei, come on," Kagome urged him.

"No."

"That's okay," Eri said. "He can stay out there. But we're probably going to be in here a while, -- the line is really long. He might want to go on home."

Frowning at her, he said, "I'll wait."

After an hour had passed, though, he got tired of waiting and was ready to take Kagome home. So, he shoved his way into the store. In the whole time he'd been there, the line had not abated. He had to admit, he was just a little curious about what all these ningen were waiting for. But when he finally spotted Kagome, he wasn't curious anymore, -- he was furious!

Striding forward at an angry pace and elbowing people out of his way, he stopped right in front of her. "What the hell is going on?!!?" he bellowed. He glared at her, and then at the male whose lap she was sitting on. (Oh, HELL NO!) "YOU!! Get your hands off of my onna!" He grabbed her up. "If I ever see you around her again, I'm going to rip off that beard and shove it down your throat. Then I'll ..."

"Hiei! Stop! He's supposed to be Santa Claus," Kagome tried to calm him down. She could see the security guards running towards them.

"I don't care who he's supposed to be! You're my onna, -- I'm the one who loves and protects you, -- I'm the one who's marrying you next week, -- and I'll be damned if I'm going to watch you sit on someone other male's lap. If you want to sit on someone's lap, we'll go home and you can sit on mine!"

"All right! Fine! Let's go home and I'll sit on your lap!" she yelled.

The people all around them began applauding, and Kagome's face turned beet red. The crowd parted to give Hiei room to carry her out.

"Uh, ... we'll take Souta home, Kagome," Yuka said.

She just nodded her thanks and buried her face in Hiei's shoulder. How could she let him get her so riled up that she forgot where they were? She was never shopping here again.

As they left, she overheard some of the people talking. "This is a very good store. Not only do they have the only Santa Claus in town, but they stage a play to entertain us while we wait."

"Hai. And it was a very interesting one, too. I did not know that Santa Claus was involved in a love triangle."

"Sorry about that, Hojo," Eri apologized to the white-faced Santa. "We didn't know she was still seeing him."




After they reached their apartment, Hiei sat down with her in his lap and she explained that in some countries, it was a tradition of sorts for people to dress up like Santa Claus so children could sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.

"You are not a child, and that was the same male who used to sniff around you all the time," he pointed out through gritted teeth.

"I know," she said softly, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "Gomen, Hiei. The girls knew Hojo was working as Santa Claus there and they wanted to surprise me. They thought Souta would enjoy it. Then, just for fun, we each took a turn telling ‘Santa’ what we want, too. We were just being silly."

"Hn," he grumbled as she nibbled on his ear. "What did you tell him you want?"

"I didn't get a chance to. But it's just as well. I couldn't have told him what I really want, anyway," she grinned.

"And what's that?"

He raised a brow when she whispered in his ear. "I think that can be arranged."





Kagome broke out in giggles when Hiei came out of the bath later, wearing nothing but a Santa hat. He swept her up in his arms and sat down on the edge of the bed, arranging her so she was straddling his lap. Kissing his way down the side of her neck, he asked, "Was this what you had in mind?"

Closing her eyes and shivering just a bit when he pressed her against him, she bit her bottom lip. "Uh-hunmmm."

"And have you been a good girl?" He started unbuttoning her blouse.

"Hai," she breathed.

"Do I get what I want, too?"

She opened her eyes and looked at him. "What do you want?"

With a gleam in his eyes, he reached over to the nightstand for the sack that had held the Santa hat he had bought, and handed it to her. She smiled back at him when she looked inside. When she returned from the bath a few minutes later, she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "I don't have to ask if you've been a bad boy."

And both of them, in their Santa hats, got what they wanted.

Okay, for some strange reason, that last line makes me feel like Peter Falk, as the Grandad, telling the story of the Princess Bride. @__@ I hope all of you get what you want for Christmas, too!! ^_~
