Chapter 4: the Christmas Spirit

 

The next mourning Kagome made her way down to the kitchen, wearing her pajamas and fluffy slippers. Only her mother, father and Sango were in the kitchen. Kagome got the milk out of the fridge and grabbed the container of freshly baked Christmas cookies.

 

“Nothing like tons of carbs in your system at ten thirty in the mourning, huh?” Sango asked pouring milk in her own glass and taking some cookies, too. Kagome just nodded, her mouth was to full of Santa shaped sugar cookies to answer.

 

“Kagome, where is your car?” Her father asked, looking out the window.

 

“Oh. It's crashed into a tree down on Mudlevel road. Last the night, the roads weren't clean on my way home, and I lost control.” Kagome explained, ready to be screamed at for wrecking her mode of transportation.

 

“Are you alright?” Her mom asked, actually sounding a little concerned for once.

 

“How did you get home?” Her father wanted to know. Kagome grabbed a peanut butter cookie to munch on as she told her story.

 

“Yeah. I'm fine. The brunt of the damage is on the passenger side. The new guy was on his way home from the store and brought me home.”

 

“Who's the new guy?” Her mom asked. Kagome rolled her eyes. She had already went over this. Why couldn't anyone just listen?

 

“A guy took you home? If he's new you don't know him well. He could have killed you!” Her father yelled.

 

“OH! That new guy you were talking about! The one that got kicked out of his school? The delinquent? Did you kiss him?” Sango asked, enthusiastically. Kagome felt like slamming her head off of the table, as her parents turned to gaping.

 

“Thanks Sango. They could have went without knowing that.” She whispered. “He just moved here from New York City. He's really nice. I've ran into him twice now!” Kagome told her parents. Praying that her mom would jump on the seeing him twice thing and forget that he was kicked out of school.

 

“How is he nice if he got kicked out of school?” Her father asked slowly.

 

“Oh wait. I think I know who you mean. His mom just got a job waiting tables at Cluggly's.” Kagome's mom said. Her mom worked at Cluggy's also. It was the only bar in town. “His mom was telling me about him. He got into one to many fights and got kicked out, again.”

 

“Again? And our daughter is hanging out with this hooligan?” Kagome's dad demanded.

 

“From what I was told, he is a real nice boy.” Mrs. Higurashi defended.

 

“Yeah. Parents always think there own kids are nice. Crap. I have to get to work. We will talk about this boy later.” He promised Kagome, as he put on his jacket and left the kitchen.

 

Mrs. Higurashi washed the dishes, while Kagome and Sango ate their breakfast. When she was done, Kagome cleaned up what she had gotten out and gave her mother her milk glass.

 

“Hey mom, do you know where the new people live?” Kagome asked, ignoring Sango's smirk.

 

“Yeah, they live in the old Winifred house down on Burkett road. Why? If you already met him twice you shouldn't go looking for him. That's not how it works.” Kagome's mom answered not looking at her.

 

“I'm not going out looking for him. He told me his family isn't going to do Christmas this year. So, I decided to help. He's at work, I think. Is his mom home?” Kagome asked, drying the dishes, and putting them away.

 

“Yeah. She has the same shift as me today, we don't work until three this afternoon.”

 

“Thanks. Can I borrow your truck? I would borrow dad's but he left. Please?” Kagome begged. Sango cleaned up her mess and left the kitchen to go to her room. She had to figure out a way to tell her parents about her fiancée.

 

“Sorry Kagome. I have to work later. With the snow, I'll have to leave earlier today.” Kagome's mom explained. Kagome rolled her eyes and walked away. There was no way that Kikyo would let Kagome borrow her car. But Sango, that was a different story.

 

Kagome ran up the stair, taking them two at a time. She skidded to a halt in front of Sango's door and knocked. Sango opened up the door.

 

“Let me guess. You need to borrow my car, because mom won't let you use hers.” Sango said before Kagome could even open her mouth.

 

“Pllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaasseeee.” Kagome stuck out her bottom lip, in hope of looking cut and innocent.

 

“Kag, you wrecked your car. What if you wreck mine?”

 

“I won't, I promise. I really need to do this. It's for the new guy! Please. Please. Please, with chocolate syrup, whip cream, a cherry and rainbow sprinkles on top!”

 

“Fine. But you better not get a scratch on it.” Sango went back in her room then tossed the keys to her white Chevy S10 blazer at Kagome.

 

“Thank you!” Kagome gave Sango a big hug, and then ran to her room. She quickly dressed in a blue sweater and jeans. After brushing her teeth, and pulling her hair back, Kagome ran down the stairs and out the front door, tugging on her snow boots on the way out.

 

Kagome drove to the old Winifred her mom said and pulled in there driveway. The house was old, but had a colonial look to it that made it pretty. A few Christmas decorations and this place would be great. Kagome walked up the cobblestone walk way and knocked on the door. After a minute a pretty women with black hair answered.

 

“Yes?”

 

“Umm. Hi. I'm Kagome Higurashi. You work with my mom Sara. Well, I recently made friends with you son, InuYasha. Is he here?” Kagome asked.

 

“Sorry. He's at work. You must be his first friend. I'm so happy he's making friends here. He didn't have any friends at his old school.By the way. I'm Izayoi. ” InuYasha's mom gushed.

 

“Well, he was telling me that with all the unpacking and getting settled, that you guys wouldn't have time to celebrate Christmas.”

 

“It's true. It's just to close to Christmas to get anything finished, and this house is the main priority at the moment.”

 

“Oh. Well, I was wondering if I could help with that. I will decorate your house and everything. I'll even go out and get you a tree.” Kagome suggested, smiling.

 

“That's very nice dear, but we couldn't pay you.” Izayoi said softly.

 

“That's no problem. I don't want your money. I just want to help you guys feel welcome.”

 

“Well, I guess. You could. That would be really sweet of you. We would all appreciate it.” Izayoi said.

 

“Yay! Thanks! Do you have any decorations, or should I go in town?” Kagome asked clapping her hands together.

 

“You can use ours, if you can find what box they're in.” Izayoi moved aside and gestured to all the boxes. “I'll help. Come on in.”

 

Kagome followed InuYasha's mom into the house, and together they began sorting through the boxes of stuff. Kagome smiled, as she imagined what InuYasha's reaction would be when he got home.

A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! I appreciate it. Gosh. There was no InuYasha in this chapter. That sux. I should have made it longer. Sorry. I want to have this done before or on Christmas. I hope I have enough time.

 

Chichottie1: Yeah, I totally forgot about the presents until I got halfway through the last chapter. And I didn't feel like scrolling back up and adding it…

 

HOWL TO THE DARKMOON: I got half of the idea during thanksgiving when I was downloading Christmas songs on limewire. I came across this one call My Only Wish by Britney Spears. I was going to delete it because pop just isn't my music, but decided to listen to it. It gave me the idea of wishing to find love for Christmas. As for the meeting 3 times in 2 days. I have no idea where that came from. It just sort of came out when I was typing the first chapter.

 

Again thanks for the reviews. I hope you liked this chapter, even though it's too short. I hate short chapters. Sorry.

 

Happy Holidays!

 

TTFN!
