Chapter 11: Christmas Gifts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Christmas morning came in blustery, and snowy. Kagome had been up since six and her little brother, Souta who had been sick for the last couple days, was watching her with dizzied frenziness. "Kagome," said Souta as he watched her blow around, "It's OK."

Kagome stuck her tongue out at her little brother. "That's easy for you to say. You don't have friend coming over any second."

Souta laughed. "You're right I don't."

Kagome looked at her little brother. He still looked kind of pale. "Souta," Kagome walked over to the Christmas tree, banging her shin on the couch, and came back over. "I want you to go to bed. You still look kind of pale." Kagome handed her brother his Christmas present.

"Thanks. I appreciate it." Souta stuck his tongue out at his older sister. "I wish you and mom would stop fussing over me."

Kagome looked at her brother with concern. "You know we would stop fussing over you if...." Kagome was interrupted as the doorbell rang. Souta using his chance snuck off to his room.

"Kagome, you're the best big sister in the whole world." Kagome hadn't heard this remark because she was to busy fussing around and getting her friends jackets.

"Could you guys go upstairs into the living room please? Its just up the stairs and around the corner." The group of Kagome's friends went into the living room. InuYasha surveyed the room.

They sat on a dark blue couch, which was against the wall across from the window. He looked at the walls and through the flickering light he could see that the room was a pale blue. The Christmas tree was in front of the window and there was another couch against the other two walls. The other couches were the same colour as the couch that he was sitting on. "Kagome...." InuYasha whispered to himself. "This room is beautiful. Especially with the lights."

The Christmas tree was the only thing that lit up the room. The lights on the tree painted red, green, blue, yellow, and pink lights against the wall. The group being Sango, Miroku, Shippo and InuYasha, sighed with pleasure. All in all the room was very beautiful. "Kagome," Miroku said, "Can we please open the presents?"

The group laughed at Miroku's obvious excitement. "Miroku," said Sango giggling, "You are so silly."

Miroku looked confused. "What, why?"

Kagome laughed. "Now, for Miroku's obvious happiness, I will now hand out the gifts."

Kagome's mom came in and sat on a couch diagonal from the group. "So, are you all excited?" Kagome's mom asked.

"Yes!"

Kagome walked over to Sango. "We will start with the presents from me than go on to the presents that you guys brought after or before supper." The others shook their heads in agreement.

"Here you go Sango. I hope you like it." Sango opened her present slowly, trying to save the wrap.

Inside was an orange wrap around skirt with a red flower print. A tank top, a piece of a best friend necklace, and a recent copy of Math help weekly. Sango widened her eyes at the magazine but rejoiced and smiled. "Thanks Kagome. I really wanted this skirt."

Kagome beamed at the compliment. "You're welcome Sango." Kagome got up from where she was sitting beside InuYasha. "Here you go Miroku." Kagome handed Miroku's present to him.

"Thanks Kagome." Miroku ripped off the wrapping paper and the whole group laughed. Embarrassed, Miroku opened the box carefully. Inside was a back scratcher and a cheek massager. Miroku smiled. "Thanks Kagome. I really like these presents." Miroku smiled, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

*SLAP*

"I guess you'll have to use the cheek massager early," said Sango.

Kagome laughed and grabbed Shippo's present. He opened it and found chocolate and candy. "YAY! I LOVE CANDY!"

"I know that's why I got it for you." Kagome looked at InuYasha. "I'm sorry InuYasha I was out of money so I didn't get anything for you..."

InuYasha looked hurt. Kagome's mom seeing Kagome work on his gift all last night wondered why she was saying this.

Kagome watched as her friends put on their coats. She saw InuYasha at the closet and went over to him. "Would you stay a little while? Please?"

InuYasha looked at the girl he loved. "Ok."

"Thank you." Kagome watched the rest of her friends leave. "Bye! See you at supper! Don't forget it's at six!"

~~~~~~~~

Kagome pulled InuYasha into her room after the others had left. "InuYasha, here."

InuYasha looked shocked. He hadn't been expecting anything. She had after all said she didn't get him anything. "Open it."

InuYasha looked at the front cover of the album. On the cover was embossed, "We're still together" InuYasha looked at Kagome. "Open it." She said again.

InuYasha opened the cover and saw on the first page a picture of Kagome and himself kissing, except he was looking at the camera while she kissed him. InuYasha blushed. He hadn't forgotten that. "Oh, Kagome…" InuYasha flipped to the next page. On it was pictures of Kagome and him at playschool. They were about four and were in the sandbox and they were building a sandcastle. Another picture, on the same page, was of InuYasha getting into his first fight. Underneath it said `InuYasha's first fight, somebody was making fun of Kagome.' InuYasha flipped through it looking at everything. There were letters, pictures and notes. One thing that was early in the beginning of the album was Kagome in a white dress and InuYasha in a suit. They were standing in front of a teacher who was marrying them. InuYasha kept trying to speed up the ceremony, but the teacher would always raise their hand. At the end of the pictures there was a picture of InuYasha and Kagome kissing in the sandbox.

InuYasha flipped to the last page. The picture on it was of a modern Kagome and InuYasha kissing while InuYasha looked at the camera. "Oh…" InuYasha blushed. Just about every time Kagome and InuYasha kissed and it was on camera he always looked at the camera. "Ahh man."

InuYasha looked at Kagome. There were tears in his eyes. "Thank you Kagome. This is better than any store bought present."

Kagome looked InuYasha in the eye. "Did you really think I wouldn't get you anything? You are one of the most important people in my life! You're one of my best friends!"

"Really?"

"Really, really."

"Wow." Kagome leaned up and whispered in his ear.

"Here's the rest of your present." Kagome trailed her finger along his jaw, than gently kissed him on the lips.

InuYasha was speechless. "…."

Kagome's mom walked into the room. "Oh, InuYasha when you go home can you tell your mother to come on over for supper? I want to catch up with her."

InuYasha looked at Mrs. Higurashi. "Sure."

"Thank you."

Kagome looked at him. "I'll see you at supper." And than left the room.

InuYasha taking his queue went to the front grabbed his coat, making sure his present was tucked in, and left. "See you at supper Kagome!"

"Bye…InuYasha." Kagome calmed her racing heart. That was weird. She had never felt so nervous around InuYasha before. "Whatever."
