I do not own Inuyasha and Company, no matter how happy it would make me. Rumiko Takahashi is the lucky one there. I do not profit from these stories, unless sweet reviews, supportive emails, and shiny banners count. I think they're worth more far than money though, so let just go with I do not profit financially from these stories.
This Sesshoumaru Doesn't Do Christmas
Chapter 20 - Weekend Plans
Friday, December 5, 2008
Inuyasha was shoveling lo mien into his mouth like it was going to disappear while his dinner companions ate at a much more natural pace, ignoring his rudeness. He paused for a moment for breath and decided to break the silence.
"So, what are you guys doing this weekend?"
Kagome put down her food and replied. "Tomorrow morning I'm going to the orphanage like usual and then in the afternoon, Sesshoumaru is taking me to the tree farm."
"Oh, he's taking you this year?" Inuyasha tried to hide his disappointment but Kagome saw it anyway.
"Yeah, but you can come too! We can get you a tree for your place."
"No, you have a boyfriend now. He should be the one to take you. Besides, you know I don't do real trees. They stink up the place."
"You and your fake trees," Kagome said with a frown. "I like the smell of a real tree. I know you have a sensitive nose, though," she said with a glance at Sesshoumaru, "which is why I always get one of the softer scented trees." She looked back at Inuyasha, worried that she'd hurt his feelings. She hadn't considered that he might actually enjoy their annual trip to the tree farm. She'd always just assumed he went to make her happy. "Are you sure? We wouldn't mind you coming."
"No, Wench, I'm fine with not going. It's not a big deal."
Sesshoumaru had simply been watching their exchange, waiting for a break in the conversation before clearing his throat. "Tree farm?" The words sounded completely foreign to him and Kagome couldn't help but laugh.
"It's great! It's a big place where they let you go pick out and cut down your own Christmas tree."
"Would it not be easier to buy one from one of the many tents around? Or even an artificial..."
"Oh, no. I don't do fake trees. They're blasphemy. And I don't want to buy my tree in a parking lot. They're never as nice and they're not fresh enough. When you get them from the tree farm they drop a lot less needles than when you buy them other places. Do you not want to go? I'm sure Inuyasha would be happy to take me if you..."
Sesshoumaru cut her off. "No, of course I will take you." There was no way in hell he was letting her think there was anything he wouldn't do for her. No matter how much he hated Christmas he loved her and he was going to take her to the damn tree farm, whatever the hell it was. "You realize, however, that we do not own an ax."
Kagome smiled brightly at her boyfriend, glad he was willing to go even though she knew he really didn't want to. "That's okay! They have ones you can use. It's going to be so much fun! You'll love it. It's so beautiful out there. I just wish it would snow already. The forest is always so pretty covered in freshly fallen snow."
"Oh, he'll have a ball, alright," Inuyasha said with a laugh.
"On Sunday everyone is coming over to trim the tree. You'll come, right Inu?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world. Then Sesshoumaru can tell me all about the fun he had at the tree farm."
Sesshoumaru let out an almost silent growl. Inuyasha was enjoying this far too much for his liking.
