Chapter 12: A Happy Christmas Part II

 

 

~* Kagome's House *~

 

Downstairs there was a lot of celebration. Sota was unwrapping his presents and the rest of the family was watching on. Kagome slowly came down stairs and joined them.

 

“Merry Christmas dear!” Her mom said to her, noticing how dismayed she looked.

 

That was all she could take, she couldn't handle keeping up the façade. She began to cry and tell everyone how InuYasha didn't bother to show up. Souta was confused; he didn't understand why InuYasha didn't show up….but, he knew what to do.

 

“Kagome wait just one second…I'll be right back.” Souta said running up stairs and quickly returning.

 

“He's such a jerk I don't care if I don't see him again.” Kagome muttered rather loudly.

 

“Why don't you open this before you get too angry with him.” Souta said handing her a present.

 

“What's this?” Kagome wondered.

 

“InuYasha came by a couple of weeks ago to drop this off, he told me if he couldn't make it I was supposed to give it to you.” Souta said rather proudly. “I did the wrapping and wrote the card though.”

 

“Why would he do that? He said that he didn't care about Christmas!” Kagome said with a very puzzled look on her face.

 

“What ever gave you that idea?” Came a voice from the bottom of the stairs. “I would have gotten here sooner, but, I got in a little fight.”

 

At the sound of that voice everyone turned around to see InuYasha. His hair was shrouded around his face that was accompanied by a charming smile. Kagome stared at him. She noticed that his clothes were torn and burned in various places. He was moving very slowly and was favoring his right arm, but, she could hold back no longer.

 

“InuYashaaaaaaaaaa!” Kagome exclaimed leaping toward the injured hanyou knocking him down to the floor, pulling him into a tight embrace and pulling her face into his chest.

 

“Agh.” InuYasha growled, “Damn girl, I am still injured you know. How about showing a little compassion?”

 

Kagome didn't care, she didn't move, she was just happy that he did show up…..It means that he really does care...right?

 

“I'm sorry that I made you worry. I was just trying to make it when…” Kagome had cut him off with a kiss. Her lips were warm, moist and inviting; InuYasha was shocked at first, but, couldn't help but return the kiss. They lost themselves in a passionate kiss and tightened their embrace, but quickly separated when Souta coughed an “Ahem.”

 

The two were suddenly extremely embarrassed remembering that they weren't alone and turned a deep shade of crimson. “You should open your present.” InuYasha whispered into her ear.

 

“That reminds me, did you get the present that I left for you?” Kagome asked.

 

“Yeah I did, brought it with me.” InuYasha said as he reached into his haori to pull out the unwrapped parcel. “Should we open them together?”

 

“Sure.” She happily answered.

 

InuYasha was the first to unwrap his gift. He of course made quick work of the wrapping to reveal dark blue fabric. He began to lift it up to find that it was a new haori and pants. It was a perfect match for his red outfit, but, it was dark blue instead.

 

“Kagome, thank-you, but, why did you get me a new outfit?” InuYasha said questioningly.

 

“You don't like it do you.” Kagome said feeling a little hurt.

 

“No, that's not it. I like it, I was just curious as to why. Don't like the red one?” InuYasha said trying not to make her cry again.

 

“I just wanted to see what you looked like in blue and besides it's not just any outfit.” Kagome replied.

 

“Oh? What?” InuYasha and the rest of the family said in a curious tone.

 

“It is flame resistant like your fire rat haori, but, it is also acid resistant too.” Kagome said informing everyone. “I mixed some chemicals together at school and had that outfit made out of a solution.”

 

`Well I could have used that yesterday.' InuYasha thought to himself.

 

The rest of the family oohed and aahed over Kagome's explanation waiting on InuYasha to say something about it.

 

“Thanks Kagome I'm sure that it'll come in handy.” InuYasha said. “I'll put it on right after you unwrap your present.”

 

Kagome was satisfied with his answer and began to delicately unwrap her gift. Once the paper was removed she found a rather long box and opened it. `It couldn't be.' She thought. Everyone peered into the box. Inside was the kimono that Kagome had tried on in the Feudal Era.

 

“How did you know that I wanted this?” Kagome asked in shock.

 

“I followed you and Songo in the marketplace. I saw you try it on and when you had to put it back you looked so sad. So I went and bought it for you.” InuYasha answered rubbing the back of his head. “But before you get angry, that's the only store that I watched you go into.”

 

Kagome didn't know what to say, so she just picked up the kimono and stood up. She put the kimono against her body and began to twirl with it. Her smile was enough thank-you for InuYasha. Before Kagome could do anything else he came up behind her and put his left arm around her waist. Kagome jumped at the sudden contact and then proceeded to turn beat red.

 

“I have another gift for you, but, it should be opened in private.” InuYasha gently whispered into her ear; causing goose bumps to run down her spine.

 

Kagome's heart skipped a beat, `Another present….in private? What could it be?' Her mind raced through all the possibilities.

 

“Well you two had better change!” Kagome's mom shouted to Kagome's grandfather and Souta.

 

“Why do they need to change mom?” Kagome asked.

 

“We have a dinner arrangement with a friend. I figured that you wouldn't be coming so I told her to only prepare for the three of us.” Her mother explained. “Sorry honey, but, I thought that you would like to stay home anyway.” Her mother said with a wink.

 

“That's okay mom, I'm not up for a trip at the moment anyway.” Kagome replied.

 

“I thought as much.” Kagome's mom said. “Go on upstairs and I'll help you change. InuYasha you can go into Souta's room to change. I am sure you want to get out of those torn clothes.”

 

“Yes, I would.” InuYasha answered.

 

“Just put your torn clothes in Kagome's room when you get done changing, I'm sure that I can fix them when we get home tomorrow.” Kagome's mom instructed.

 

Just then the room got really quiet, until Kagome spoke up.

 

“What do you mean until tomorrow?” Kagome shouted.

 

“Well they are calling for bad weather tonight so we will be staying the night.” Her mom explained.

 

“Oh alright, I guess that you shouldn't be out in the bad weather.” Kagome reluctantly replied.

 

“Now the two of you go on up stairs and get changed. I'll see you in a few seconds Kagome.” Her mother waived.

 

So the two went upstairs to change, neither one knowing what was in store for them next.
