A/n: Is it tacky to write a Christmas story when January is almost over? Oh, well, I'll still continue it because I enjoy doing it.







Kagome sighed as she pushed the the shopping cart around her local market. "I shouldn't have yelled at her." She said to herself. "She was only trying to be a good friend." Kagome said before picking up a couple Lean Cuisine's and throwing them in her cart. It was hard for Kagome to accept the awful thing her ex-husband did to her. She was still young, but because she married at the age of nineteen, she'd become an old hag. Here she was, twenty-six, buying old maid dinners.

"Excuse me, miss?"

Kagome turned around and icy blues eyes entranced into her. "InuYasha's cousin?!" Kagome said.

"It's Kouga actually." He said before clearing his throat.

Kagome let out a nervous giggle. "Oh, right. So, why are you here?" She said before frowning at the pack of condoms he had in his hands.

Kouga quickly put them behind his back and chuckled. "Oh, just shopping for a couple things." He looked in her cart and saw the T.V. dinners and quart of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. "I hope that's not what you're going to eat tonight."

Kagome blushed. "Yeah, I guess so.”

“Well, listen here. How about you come out to dinner with?”

Kagome shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“Come on, it’ll be on me. I’ll treat you like the queen you really are.”

Kagome genuinely smiled. Its been a long time since anyone has talked to her like that. He was like a knight in shining armor to rescue her from fronzen chicken fettuccini. If he didn’t have a box of condoms in his hands, then the moment would’ve been perfect.

“Please, say yes.” He said in such a smooth manner that it didn’t even sound like he was begging.

Kagome wanted to dive into his ice blue eyes and smooth tanned skin and that perfect grin, but her heart wouldn’t let her. Her heart wouldn’t let her trust another man. ‘Every man is not Hojo’ Kagome thought of Sango's words. 'She's right!' Kagome realized.

"Don't make me wait too long." He said with a grin still intact.

"Sure. Why not?" Kagome said giving in to her womanly desires.

"Alright, leave the frozen foods." He said gesturing towards the cart.

"Leave the condoms." Kagome said snaking her hands around his back and snatched the box of Trojans and threw them into the cart. "Won't be needing them tonight."

Kouga couldn't help but laugh at her bold move. "Ahh, Ms. Kagome, you're quite clever." 'That's okay, I have three in my wallet.' He assured himself. "Shall we go?"

"Sure." She said before Kouga grabbed her hand into his and lead her out into the parking lot of shopping mart and to his car.

"Mercedes." Kagome glamored as she admired the black on black coupe that glimmered in the evening moon.

"A little something I picked up in Europe one summer.” He said before taking the keys out of his pocket. “Mercedes, on.” He commanded into the SmartKey making the engine purr.

“Oooh, nice.” Kagome said.

“Well, get in.”

“Um...I have my own car.” She said gesturing towards her Honda Insight.

“Oh, that thing. I assure you that I will get you back to your car.”

“Yeah, but I don’t like leaving my car unattended.”
“I doubt someone will steal that.” He said clearly implying that her car wasn’t even good enough to steal.

“What are you saying?” Kagome said as she started to quickly get tired of his snobbish demeanor.

“Oh, nothing. Look, how about you just follow me.”

“How about you follow me.” Kagome smartly said with her hand on her hip.

‘Why is this woman so difficult? Mmmm....I would go down in playa hall of fame if I were to bag her. Keep it cool, man.’ “If that is what pleases you, my queen. Lead the way.” He said before he started towards his car.

Kagome was sure that Kouga’s male testosterone would get in the way and he’d object. It took a strong man to let a woman lead. ‘Maybe it’s more to him than I let on.’ Kagome thought with a smile as she proceeded towards her car.



It was short drive before Kagome parked infront of a local greasy spoon. It was her first summer job and she still trusted their business. Plus, they gave her free food.

Kouga gave a digusted look at the diner that Kagome parked infront of. He looked at trash and shrubs at it's base then up to the neon sign that read: “Mei Mei’s” in red lights that glowed except for the first ‘M’ and fourth ‘e’. “She must be kidding?” He said to himself.

“Are you getting out or what?” Kagome said knocking on the tinted window of the Mercedes.

Kouga took a deep breath before exiting out of the car. "Of course. Um...how do you know about this....," He pasued to look at the restaurant with distain. "...wonderful establishment."

"I used to work here during my high school years."

"So, you were a modern working girl I see."

Kagome smiled and shook her head. "I wouldn't say all of that."

"Well, are we going in or what?" He said grabbing her hand and leading her into the diner



The evenfall that crepted up on the yong couple seemed to be going well. Talk enlightened each, food filled hunger, and passion drowned both in euphoric expansion.

“This was a great dinner, Kouga. Thank you. I really needed it.” Kagome said releasing a sigh as she relished in the warm feeling of being wanted by someone.

“Beats being alone at night.”

Kagome slowly nodded before looking off into the window aside them. “It sure does. Makes me not want to go home.”

“You don’t have to...well...not yet that is.”

“What do you mean?” Kagome said looking into those incisive blue eyes of his.

“I mean, the fun doesn’t have to end.” He said placing a gentle hand on Kagome’s delicate one.

“That’s sweet, Kouga, but I’ve just got out of a bad marr...relationship and I don’t want jump into another one.” Kagome didn’t want to tell Kouga she was once married. It was complicated enough that she was even on this date with him. She wasn’t one to flirt and lead men on, but she was just caught inbetween wanting to be loved and wanting to be forgotten.

“Hey, I’m not trying rush into anything. I just want to know about you. What’s your goals?” He said searching into her morning dew eyes that seemed to have no boundaries or limits.

Kagome shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know really.” Since Kagome married so young, she didn't go to college. Now, she was a student teacher for a kindergarten class and it hurted her to even be there.

“Well, I want to make my advertising business go global, but I first want a wife and some kids.”

Kagome gave Kouga timid smile as she looked down for a quick second. “That’s nice.”

“Do you want to have kids, Kagome? I think you would make a great mother.”

Kagome know he didn’t mean any harm, but the sentence that flew out of his mouth caused damage. She looked at her watch and pretended to be suprised. “Wow! Look how late it is. I have to go to bed.” Kagome said getting up and Kouga quickly did the same.

“It’s only nine o’clock. What grown woman goes to bed at nine?”

“This grown woman.” She said grabbing her purse. “It was nice. We should catch up some other time.” She said walking away.

“But..” Kouga sighed once he saw her walk out of the door. “Shit.” He cursed under his breath. ‘What did I say wrong?’





Kagome quickly made her way back to her apartment complex before parking in the front and heading towards to door. “What a night.” Kagome said before fishing for the house key from the clunk of unnecessary keys as she walked towards her door.


“Mmmm.”

A groaned emitted itself from the bushes and Kagome quickly scrambled for her mase. “Who’s there? I have mase.” She yelled. “A..and I know karate.” She lied when the closest she knew of karate was her weekend cardio kickboxing class.

“Hey, don’t mase me, alright. It’s me.” The infamous silver haired star said waking up from his uncomfortable slumber in the dirt. InuYasha groaned as he got up and dusted himself off. “Your neighbors are mean.” He grogily said.

“InuYasha, what the hell are you doing sleeping in the bushes?” Kagome said with a scowl on her face. The hanyou was just suprising her in ways unimaginable.

InuYasha wanted nothing but to lie and make a good cover to protect him from his embarassing situation, but instead the rarest of the rare came out of his mouth....the truth. “I was waiting for you.”

“What?” Kagome said.

“You heard me.” InuYasha stubbornly said as he folded his arms like child.

“Why were you waiting for me?” Kagome asked wanting to know the motive of the unpredictable male that floated into her life just two days ago.

"Well, I-I-I was um...you know...just..." InuYasha began to stumble over his words which was very out of the norm for the loud mouth man.

Kagome wanted to yell and scream for stalking in her bushes at night, but something deep inside her was happy he showed up. "You want to come inside for a bit. I know it's pretty cold out here." She hinted with humor.

InuYasha stopped his babbling long enough to hear her offer and he graciously accepted. "Shit, why not? I've been out here long enough. I deserve to see what it looks like." He said stuffing his hands into his pocket.

Kagome smiled and shook her head. "Alright." She said accepting his version of "Sure. I would love to come in. Thank you for the offer." "Come on." She said opening the door.


After two flights of stairs and a stubborn lock, InuYasha and Kagome were safely in the young woman's humble abode. The spacious apartment held rich magohony floors in which a creme couch and loveseat adorned it's face. Beautiful sculptures and art pieces graced the home with enchanting culture.

"This is a nice apartment. I mean, it's about as a big as my bedroom back at home, but all in all it's nice."


"Thanks. I think." She said as she took the backhanded compliment. "Do you want anything to drink?" She said walking into the cute kitchenette.

"Um...what you got?" He said sitting on the suede couch.

"Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Coca Cola, you know, the regulars."

"Do you have any Vitamin Water?" InuYasha said.

"No. How about regular water?" Kagome offered as she began to ran the tap.

"Is it Fiji or Evian?"

"No, it's just regular water." Kagome said before shutting off the water and walking back into the living room.

"I guess I'm not that thristy."

"I didn't know you were such a health nut." Kagome said plopping down on the loveseat.

"I'm in the spotlight all the time. I need to keep this six pack six packs of muscle." He said patting his hard toned abs.

Kagome gave a timid smile. She didn't know that celebrities had to be on such strict diets. She was young and had a fast metabolism. She could eat anything she wanted as long she exercised three times a week. "I guess it would take a lot to be one of the sexiest men in the world."

"So, you did read Men's Health. You told me you didn't." InuYasha smugly said.

"Huh? I heard it from Sango." Kagome quickly covered.

InuYasha nodded as he gave her an incredulous look. Soon they were both draped in silence and the only thing that could be heard was the *tick tock* from the analog clock.

"InuYasha, I'm sorry." Kagome admitted.

"About what?"

"About earlier. I didn't mean to act like a..."

"Bitch." InuYasha finished for her.

Kagome gritted her teeth. "I wouldn't go that far, but....yeah. It's just me and Sango got into an agrument."

"Yeah, about me." InuYasha said with a snort. "Miroku told me that you told Sango."

"I can't believe Sango told Miroku. God, she has a big mouth."

"And you act like you didn't know that."

Kagome giggled. "Yeah, I guess it is my fault."

"So, what's so bad about me that you had to scream and yell about."

Kagome put her head down. "It wasn't you I was screaming about."

"Well, we're going to have to change that." InuYasha whispered.

"Huh?" Kagome quickly said.

"What? I didn't say anything. So, who were you arguing about?" He said trying to change the subject.

"Hojo. My ex-husband." Kagome said in a low voice. It was hard saying that he was her ex.

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" InuYasha was curious about why she was such a train reck. He wanted her, but he wasn't that much of a dog as to pounce on a wounded cat.

Kagome gave him a shrugg. "He just stopped loving me." She couldn't control the way her eyes teared. It was the first time she admitted he didn't love her anymore.

"Why?" He pushed. He wanted to know. InuYasha wouldn't allow himself to permit that he wanted to know who broke her heart and where he lived.

"I couldn't give him what he wanted so he found another woman to do that." She said in deep seeded sorrow as a tear dropped down her cheek. "He wanted kids."

'Oh shit' The one thing InuYasha couldn't stand or tolerate was a woman crying. "Come on, don't cry." He said getting up to join her on the loveseat.

Kagome wiped away her tears and nodded. "I know I shouldn't but it still hurts."

"Fuck him." InuYasha said. "That guy doesn't deserve you."

"But..." Kagome said.

"But nothing. Fuck him. I ain't giving him no sympathy and you shouldn't either. If he was a real man, he would've stuck it out with you."

Kagome couldn't help but smile. "Thank you." She said wrapping her arms around him. "Suprisingly, you knew just what to say."

"Yeah, whatever, just get your waterhead off my shirt. You're soaking it." He said.

Kagome giggled before leaning back and looking into his eyes. There it was again. That spark that always seemed to ignite itself whenever he was around her. She pouted her lips.

InuYasha noticed her action and wanted nothing more than to kiss her and take her on this loveseat, but the moral side of him wouldn't let him touch her. "Um...it's best I should go. It's getting late." He said before getting up.

"Oh." Kagome quickly said. "You're completely right" She said as she got up also.

"So, I'll see you around." InuYasha before walking to the door.

Kagome didn't want him to leave. She wanted to still be around him for some reason. 'Say something, Kagome. Say anything.' She urged herself. "InuYasha?" Kagome called out.

InuYasha was half way out the door before she called his name. He turned around to look at her. "What?"

"Um...do you like the movies?" Kagome said before she mentally hit herself. 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!.'

"Um...yeah."

"I mean, maybe we could....um...you know..."

InuYasha couldn't help but smile at her innocence. It was cute. Just like her. "You want to go the movies with me?" He asked.

Kagome let out a relieved sigh. "Yeah, that'll be great."

"Pick you up tommorrow afternoon?"

"That's good."

"Alright. Goodnight, Kagome." He said before walking out of the house. Once he was outside, he began to angrily hit and thrash into mid-air. "I'm so stupid. I had her. She was ready." He whined. InuYasha couldn't even if he wanted to. He couldn't take advantage of her. She was different and that's what scared.

"This is really more than I bargained for." He said before he walked to his car.
