Ch. 8

An Hour Later…
InuYasha slowly opens his gold eyes.
“InuYasha…?”, Kagome questions, as he slowly sat up.
“What Kagome?”, he growls.
“Do you remember what happened to you last night?”
“I was chasing your fat cat when I slipped on something- I think you call it soap, and I hit my head on the tub”, he replies, hissing when he touches the still very tender spot on his noggin.
“Anything else?”, Karin asks.
“No, I was unconscious the whole night!”, he shouts.
The girls look at each-other and Karin starts laughing.
“What’s so funny?”, InuYasha questions, growing annoyed.
“You weren’t asleep”, she answers, putting the prints of the pictures she’d taken in front of him, “As you can see, you were very much awake”.
He stares at the pictures in disbelief, “Who said it was alright to cut my hair?”, he angrily asks.
“You did”, Karin replies.
InuYasha goes back at looking at the pictures in disbelief, and when he got to the picture Karin took of him and Kagome kissing under the mistletoe; he turned completely red in the face and looked like he was going to pass out from shock.
“I…I…I…”, was all he could say around the lump in his throat.
“Yes, you kissed her”, Karin says.
“But…when…did…I…”, he starts.
“Well InuYasha, after you hit your head, you developed amnesia until your demon blood returned”, she explains.
“Oh…”, he whispers, still blushing.
“Yeah, Santa came!”, Sots exclaims, running into the room.
“Calm down Sota, we can’t open presents until mom and grandpa get here”, Kagome says.
Ten minute later, Mrs. Higurashi and grandpa walk into the room.
“Mom, can we start opening gifts now?”, he asks.
“Sure Sota, go grab a gift and hand it to who it goes to”, his mother replies.
He grabs a small box wrapped in red wrapping paper with gold-ribbon, he looks at the tag.
“Who’s it for?”, Kagome asks.
“It’s for you, sis”, he says, handing the parcel to her.
“Who could it be from?”, Kagome confusingly questions, looking at the tag, “It’s from InuYasha!”
InuYasha turns completely dark red, including the insides of his ears.
“I wonder what it could be?”, Karin says, smirking.
InuYasha glares at Karin, knowing fully that she took advantage of his amnesic state.
(A/N: He guessed!)
Kagome slowly tears the paper and ribbon off a silver box and when she opens the box; inside it sat a gold heart shaped locket with the words ‘I Love You’ engraved on the front.
“Open it”, Karin insisted, being the only one who remembers the complete gift.
When she opened the locket, she found two pictures inside; one of InuYasha as a hanyou and the other was one of InuYasha as a human.
Suddenly InuYasha finds Kagome flinging herself against him to hug him tightly, whispering, “Thank you”, over and over again into his chest.
He softens his heart to hug her back, not caring who saw him hugging her, “You’re welcome”, he whispers, then looks over at Karin and mouths ‘Thanks’ to her.
She winks to him in response, then mouths ‘You are welcome’.
“Merry Christmas, InuYasha!”, Kagome exclaims, when she detached herself from him.
“Merry Christmas to you too, Kagome”, he says, “And Merry Christmas to you; Kagome’s family”.
“Merry Christmas, InuYasha”, Karin, Sota, Mrs. Higurashi and grandpa say.
When I catch that fat cat, I’m going to make him regret digging his claws into my back’, InuYasha thinks, smirking to himself, as he holds Kagome closer to him.

DemonGirl-Setsuna: I love the reviews I’m receiving for you readers! (is handed an envelope) I just got a letter in the mail! There is no return address, strange. (opens the envelope and InuYasha jumps out) Kahh! InuYasha! What are you doing here!
InuYasha: I think you forgot to have Karin explain how she knows about a hanyou’s weakness.
DemonGirl-Setsuna: How could you know that? I never told anyone! That is only known in my head!
InuYasha: You’re a fan fiction writer, any story involving me I would know the details.
DemonGirl-Setsuna: Then you would probably know what I’m doing to you in my un-posted story I’m working on.
InuYasha: No, I don’t.
DemonGirl-Setsuna: (Smirks evilly) You know nothing! Now for being rude to me, I’m going to have to punish you!
InuYasha: (Runs) Nnnooooo! (Disappears in a puff of smoke)
DemonGirl-Setsuna: (Walks over to where InuYasha vanished and picks up an InuYasha plushie) Now I’m going to punish you by cuddling you! (Hugs him)
InuYasha: (Thinks) Why is it always me?
DemonGirl-Setsuna: Here is the rest of the chapter!
-------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
“Karin, one question is bugging me”, Kagome says.
“What is it?”
“How did you know about InuYasha’s weakness?”, she asks.
“When I was studying in Kyoto, I was interned in a doctor’s office, and I had to make house calls. Some of the children I treated were hanyous”, Karin explains.
“There is more, isn’t there?”, Inuyasha states.
Karin nods, “Their families were treating them badly, punishing them for no reason, they thought their children were cursed or a curse on the family. I fought to get them from their families, and won, but the first foster care home they were put in was just as bad as when they were home”.
“What did you do?”
“I fought again and won again, and the children are happy with their new foster mother”, she replies, smiling.
“Why are they so happy? What if they new foster mother starts treating them badly as well?”, InuYasha snorts.
“She won’t, because she is a hanyou as well. Come to think of it, when I was talking to her about my family, she told me of a group of people who saved her from her grandfather, I think she knew you two, cause she described a girl in a short kimono and a dog hanyou, and she told me their names were, Kagome and InuYasha”, she says.
“What is the woman’s name?”, Kagome asks.
“Her name is Shiori”, Karin replies.
“Shiori lived to see this era?”, Kagome questions.
“Uh-ha!”, she nods.
MERRY X-MAS!
THE END!
