“Kagome, dear, where’s the cake?” Her mother said.
Glad to vent her trouble she sighed getting ready to tell the whole story in angry letter details. “You wouldn’t believe what happened. I was reaching for the cake right and then this jerk completely snatched it from me.” She exaggerated.
“Really?! How rude and especially on the holidays.”
“I know right.” The younger Higurashi woman screeched. “And you wouldn’t believe who it was.”
“Who?” Mrs. Higurashi said.
“Remember InuYasha.”
Souta wasn’t paying attention, but his ears perked upon hearing the familar name.
“Izayoi and Tai’s little boy?!” Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed.
“Yeah, some nerve.” Kagome huffed before plopping herself on the couch.
“I always thought he was such a nice boy.”
“Nice?! He’s like the devil incarnate.”
“Hold up. Who in the world are you guys babbling about?” Souta interjected.
“Nothing. You don’t have to worry about the jerk. He’s none of your concern.”
Souta shrugged his shoulder before he continued to read his magazine.
The family, who was enjoying a nice chat in the living room, eyed him suspiciously as he stormed into the kitchen mumbling obscenities.
"I wonder what crawled up his butt. I hope it isn't what I think it is." Sesshomaru said.
"Sessh!" Izayoi exclaimed before InuYasha walked back in and plopped down on the nearest La-Z-Boy. A pin drop could be heard throughout the Taisho house as the family watched InuYasha intently.
"What's wrong? Did your boyfriend quit you?" Sesshomaru said cutting the silence before letting out a chuckle.
"Sesshomaru!" Izayoi said with a scowl
"Go fuck yourself, Fluffy." InuYasha quipped back.
"InuYasha!" Izayoi glowered. They both huffed and folded their arms. "Now, InuYasha, what's wrong?"
"I almost got bamboozled for that cake!" He outbursted.
"What? You almost got robbed!" Izayoi said.
"I didn't let it go down like that. I had to practically wrestle her down for it." He exaggerated.
"Her?! Don't tell me you tackled a little girl for a cake?" His mother said.
"And they said you of all people are gay." Sesshomaru said.
"One more word, Sessh. Just try me." InuYasha threatened.
"Hold on. Continue telling me about this little girl you attacked."
"Little girl?! She ain't no little girl. It's that beast down the street."
"Kagome?!" Izayoi said before shaking her head. "I don't believe it. She's such a nice girl."
"Oh, Kagome Higurashi. She's a real cutie." Tai dropped in. "Grown right up into those legs."
"She's an evil little runt." InuYasha said.
Tai shook his head. "I never understood your hostility towards her. She's such a nice, wholesome girl."
"I never liked her as a kid. She was always bossy, and she never cared what anyone else thought. She was so uncompromising. If it wasn't her way, then it was no way at all."
"Sounds familiarly like a little boy I raised." Izayoi said with a smirk.
"Mama, are you saying that me and that snow-bellied newt are similiar." InuYasha raged.
"Did you invite her to christmas party tomorrow?"
"I give up." InuYasha said before he stomped up to his old room. He barged into his childhood sanctuary, that was suprisingly the exact way he left it. "Mom." He whispered as he shook his head. InuYasha took a quick glance at the room before sitting down on his bed. He couldn't believe that after ten or so years that his family was the same. It's like he never left and he just picked up where he left off at. InuYasha knew that if his assumptions were right, then his mother or his father would be knocking on the door right now...
*Knock*
*Knock*
Yep, he was right. "Come in." InuYasha said solemnly waiting for his mother to come in, but to his suprise it wasn't her.
"What's up, kid?" Sesshomaru said as he entered his little brother's room.
"Oh, my god! She sent you of all people." InuYasha said as he fell backwards onto his bed in dramatic agony.
"No one sent me up here. Is it so bad to see what's wrong with my little brother."
"Cut the bullshit, Sessh. You and me both know you ain't the type."
Sesshomaru chuckled as he leaned against the threshold of the room. "Yeah, you're right, but I've changed somewhat in the time that you've been gone."
InuYasha snorted at his brother's comment."Yeah, right. Getting hitched ain't exactly a change for your black heart."
"It's quite true little brother. A woman can do a lot to a man. Take you for example." He said pushing himself of the doorway and walking further in.
"Would do you mean? Ain't no woman changed me."
"Really? If I can recall a certain love note for Ms. Kagome, then one day you wanted to leave Tokyo and never come back. I take she turned you down."
"Nobody turned me down. Leaving Tokyo had nothing to do with that beast. If anything it was this family that wanted me to get out."
"Okay, little brother, but ''de Nile'' is not a river in Egypt." He said before leaving.
"I'm coming. I'm coming. Keep your damn drawers on." A voice from the other side of the door said before the wooden entrance was swung open. "I ain't buying nothing you selling me." The more matured Miroku said.
"Miroku, man, it's me." InuYasha said pointing to himself.
"InuYasha?! Man, I can't believe it." Miroku said throwing his arms around him. "When you left I thought you wouldn't come back."
"I thought I wouldn't either."
Miroku looked his friend up and down and smiled. "You looking fly my man." He said eyeing the trendy leather jacket and timberland boots. "Let me get that jacket one day."
InuYasha shook his head and chuckled. "Come on, Miro. I got a spot we could hang out at."
"Yeah, Sango. I can't believe it myself." Kagome said as she talked on the phone with her best friend.
"What's he doing here after all of these years? I was sure he'd try and act bougee and pretend he was never from here."
"He said he was over here to catch up with family, but I doubt it."
"Well, I guess now's your chance."
"My chance for what?" Kagome asked getting up from her bed and walking into the kitchen.
"Your chance to get your groove back. This Hojo thing has had you depressed for too long and InuYasha don't look the same he did in junior high. He's fine now.
Kagome made an unlady like snort. "Fine?! That pig. Sango, you should really be a comedian."
"Well, I still think so. Are you still going to the Taisho's Christmas party?"
"I was seriously thinking about going, but after I found out that he's going to be there...."She said before sighing. "I can't believe he had the nerve to come back." Kagome raged opening the refrigerator and pulling out a bottle of water.
"Maybe he came back for you. Everybody kind of figured he really liked you. I know he didn't know the right way of showing it, but he was practically in love with you."
"Save me the bull, San. The only person that man loves is himself." She said sitting at the island counter.
"Well, maybe you're right. He's still fine and rich. That's a combination that can't be beat."
Kagome wasn't so mad that she couldn't laugh at her best friends joke. "You're a hot mess, San."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Let me borrow five dollars." Miroku joked.
InuYasha chuckled. "Man, you haven't changed a bit. You're still the same old Miroku."
"You'd be suprised how much I've changed."
"How so?"
"I got married, man. I got a kid on the way and everything."
InuYasha nearly jumped out of his seat at the words. "Married?! What? Is that the new trend over here? Plus, you got a kid on the way."
"Yep, man. It's a beautiful thing."
"Well, let me ask you a question. Did the child come first or did the ring come first?" InuYasha joked.
"You got jokes, huh? But naw it wasn't like that. We got married first."
"Why wasn't I invited?" InuYasha asked a little hurt that everything in his old world had grown up and he was still in Hollywood acting a plump fool.
"Three years ago around the summer time."
InuYasha lowered his head when he remembered he was doing delirious and demented things on the Caymans.
"Don't worry, man. Me and her were in college. Nobody really got invited."
"Who's her?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Miroku said shaking his head.
"Try me."
"Sango Taijia."
"The amazon. The one who had more male testosterone than me?!" InuYasha exclaimed.
"Hey, watch how you speak of the wife."
InuYasha put his hands up in defense. "Sorry, man, but I just can't believe she even gave you the time of day."
"Yeah, she was a hard cookie, but no woman can resist my charm."
"Meaing you stalked her until she just gave up."
Miroku shrugged his shoulders. "Pretty much."
"Well, I'm glad for you, man. I wish I could find a good broad, but out in Hollywood they're all stuck up."
"It aint too late. There's one woman out here in Tokyo that's free and willing."
"Who and I'll go get her now."
"Kagome Higurashi. She just divorced her husband and she's very fragile and weak. Jackpot!"
"What? Anybody but her."
"I remember when you were head over heels for her."
"Yeah, I remember when you pissed your pants when Sango kicked you in the balls."
"Okay, truce."
"Truce." InuYasha said. "Don't bring her up again."
"Fine."
"Hey, Yasha. Hey, Miroku, long time no see." Izayoi said as she stood on a step ladder to hang a large ribbon on the wall.
"Yeah, I've been busy, Mrs. T." Miroku said before looking around the many green and red streamers. "It's looking good here guys."
"Here, ma, let me help." InuYash said effortlessly picking up his mother and setting her on the floor.
"Oooh, I guess my little baby isn't my little baby anymore." Izayoi said. "I forget how big and strong you've gotten."
InuYasha smiled a toothy grin before he started to flex his muscles.
"Oh, InuYasha you're too much." Izayoi giggled before walking away.
"Come on, man, help out." InuYasha said standing on the step ladder to pin the ribbon.
"Alright." Miroku agreed as he helped with the decorations.
Kagome looked towards the stairs then snorted as she looked back at the T.V. "I ain't going to that party. Not with him there." She whispered to herself.
"Kagome Higurashi!" Mrs. Higurashi said as she came downstairs to see her daughter on the couch watching T.V. "Aren't you going?"
"No." She simply said.
"Then why did you come over." Mrs. Higurashi said with a hand to her hip.
"I just wanted to see Souta's little girlfriend. Take a picture then get out of here."
"That's unacceptable. I told Tai and Izayoi that you were going to this party. They're expecting you and I don't want to be labeled a liar."
"Well, I didn't ask you to tell them I was going."
"That better not be back talk, young lady."
"It's not, mom."
"Now, you're going to this party even if I have to drag you down there."
Kagome sighed. She was never the one talk back to her mother or disobey her. "Alright, I'll go." She said getting up off the couch.
"Thanks. You're really a good daughter." She said patting Kagome on the shoulder.
*Ding Dong*
Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi looked at the door then looked at each other. "That's her." They said in unison, then, like it was on cue, Souta came dashing down the stairs.
"It's her. It's her. Guys, what are you still doing here?" Souta whined.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world." Kagome said pulling out a disposable camera.
"Arrgh, you guys are ruining my life." Souta groaned.
"Go answer the door. Don't let her wait in the cold all day." Mrs. Higurashi said rushing her son to the door. "Open it."
Souta scowled his mother and sister before opening the door to reveal a young beauty. Long black hair and deep brown eyes. She wore a simple skirt and top and looked every bit of cute. "Hey, Mayu." Souta said before blushing.
"Hey, Souta."
"Move out the way, Souta." Kagome said shoving her little brother out the way before she started to take pictures of the girl. "You didn't tell me she was such a cutie pie." Kagome cooed.
"Kagome?! Oh, my god, you're messing everything up."
"No, I'm not. Smile." She said before taking another picture of Mayu. "Hi, I'm Kagome, Souta's older sister and personal body guard."
"Um...hi. My name is Mayu." The girl said nervously.
"Mom, can you stop her. She's nuts." Souta whined.
"Mayu, I have a question for you." Kagome said. "Are you sexually active?"
"Kagome!" Souta exclaimed.
"Come on, sweetie. We're going to be late for the party." Mrs. Higurashi said leading everybody out the door before locking it.
"What? Don't you want to know everthing?" Kagome said. "Like if she has any kids and a one on the way counts."
"Is that your mother in that car over there?" Mrs. Higurashi said to Mayu. The young girl quickly nodded. "Then I suggest you and Souta hurry before she pulls out pictures."
Mayu nodded before taking Souta's hand and rushed to her mother's car.
"Come on, Kagome. Stop making a scene. You know this is embarrassing as it is for Souta."
Kagome sighed. "I just can't believe he's growing up."
"Let's get to this party." Mrs. Higurashi said starting down the block towards the Taisho's house.
"Alright."
A/n: Happy Hanukkah!

Kagome fumed into the house. She threw off her mittens and winter coat as she mumbled obscenities under her breath.Part Tres: Deck the Halls

InuYas ha stormed into his childhood house with a decorate christmas cake in hand. "Bitch." He whispered under his breath before heading to the kitchen.The family, who was enjoying a nice chat in the living room, eyed him suspiciously as he stormed into the kitchen mumbling obscenities.
