************************************************************************ *December 20, Kurama's house.*
"It's, okay mom, really." Kurama rubbed his mother's shoulders in an attempt to make her feel better. She was upset that her husband wasn't going to be home for Christmas. "I know Suicchi, but I just wish he could be here. Oh, well. I suppose a small Christmas by ourselves isn't too bad." Kurama mulled this over for a moment, then said, "Mother?" "Yes?" "Would it be alright with you if I invited some friends and their parents over for Christmas dinner? We could have a small party, perhaps." His mother clapped her hands together in delight. "A party? I hadn't thought of that! Of course, son! Just let me know how many are coming, and I'll make all the arrangements!" "No, let me worry about that. If you would just make one of your famous roasts, and perhaps a special cheesecake for dessert....?" His mother laughed but agreed to make her son's favorite treat. He gave her a small peck on the cheek, and headed toward the front door. "Where are you going?" she called after him. "To get our party guests!" He called back.
He put on a burgundy scarf and a leather jacket and slipped out the door. He headed towards Keiko's family's shop. He stepped inside, letting the warm air surround him for a moment before heading to the back of the shop, where he could hear Keiko and her mother talking. He poked his head in through the door with a light knock, just enough to announce his presence. "Keiko?" She glanced up and a smile brightened her face. "Hey Suicchi!" He couldn't help but smile at her greeting. Keiko was one of the few who hadn't attempted to throw herself at his feet but instead treated him like just another friend, for which he was grateful.
He bowed towards her mother then turned back to Keiko. "I'm here to invite you and your parents to dinner and a small party at my house that my mother and I are arranging for Christmas. Would you like to come?"
She turned to her mother. "Please mom? Can we?"
Her mom sighed. "I'm sorry, honey. You know we go to Grandma's every year." She took another look at her daughter's pleading face and sighed again. "But I also know how much this means to you. Can I trust you here alone for a few days?" Keiko nodded eagerly, too excited to speak. "Fine then. You can go." She laughed, throwing her arms around her mother's neck. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"
Kurama laughed. "Would you like to come with me to round up the rest of the party guests, Keiko?" "Sure! Let me get my coat!" She ran off, leaving Kurama and her mother staring after her, shaking their heads and smiling.
The rest of them agreed pretty easily. Yuske agreed for both him and his mother, promising to make sure she was sober for the party if Kurama made sure there was no wine there. Yukina seemed quite pleased by the prospect, being as she had never heard of Christmas before. Kwabara and Shizuru also agreed, quite willingly, being as neither had plans and intended to spend their day bored out of there minds.
Hiei was harder to convince, but finally agreed upon hearing that Yukina had been invited. Keiko laughed as she skipped home, waving a cheery good-bye to Kurama, who waved back, heart light as it had been in quite some time. But before he went home for the day, he called up all the boys that were coming. They had some planning to do.
*********************************************************************** Well, that's the first chapter. Don't worry, promise my others will be longer. Give a holler, tell me what you think. I apologize, though, this is not going to have any fight scenes, but if you stick around for awhile, it should be worth the effort of reading anyway. R&R! -Ishi-chan
