Taisho smiled down at his grandchildren. They were waiting in line to see Santa while his son and daughter in law was Christmas shopping. Since Izayoi passed away, he had been downright depressed. His wife had been his whole world. Christmas seemed the only time of the year he seemed to act his old self, at least that's what his children had told him. Christmas had been her favorite time of the year; going out more each year. Even when after she was gone, he had kept Christmas going in his home and family. He had hoped doing so would keep her alive in his demon heart.

"Grandpa, when will it be our turn?" Tina asked, tugging on his hand.

Before he was able to say anything a human woman dressed in a little green and red elf costume stepped up to the rope beside them. "Merry Christmas!" She held out a candy cane to the children. "Are you excited to see Santa?"

They both nodded before taking the stick of sugar from her. She smiled and looked up at him, "It's nice to see a father bringing his children to see Santa."

"I'm not their father."

She returned his smile, "Oh…"

"He our Grandpa. Daddy is shopping with Mommy." Tommy stated.

"He has to carry the bags for her." Tina added.

"Oh…" A smile reappeared, "That's must be exciting." She lifted a candy cane from the basket in her hand and held it up to him, "To make your holiday brighter."

He couldn't help, but smile even more as she moved off down the line to hand out more Candy canes.

Sesshomaru shifted through the piles of papers laid out before him, working on a new deal. He didn't mind taking on the extra work, even during the Holidays. His father would work himself to death all year long, but as soon as Dec. 1st came along, he would back off, leaving Sesshomura to take over at the Company.

"So how are things going, Son."

The demon lifted his head looking at his father sitting across from him in chair in front of the desk. "Evening father, I thought you would be with Inuyasha and his family?"

His father smiled. "The children had a little too much sugar, my fault of course, so they took them home."

Sesshomaru took his glasses of, mentally sighing. "So you found yourself alone this evening and came by to check up on me?"

Taisho chuckled. "Oh, no, just killing time. I met a wonderful lady this afternoon and with hope, I will be able to take her into joining me for dinner this evening."

For the first time in his long life, Sesshomaru found himself taken back. "You? Going on a date?"

His leaned forward picking up a slip of paper. "Well, I wouldn't say that, we did just meet today and all. She's not like those young ladies you seem to find yourself with lately."

Sesshomaru bit back a groan. His father always found a way to voice his opinion about his son's choice of dates. "I thought you would have heard by now, but Kagura and I are no longer together."

"That has to be the best news I heard from you in years, son." Taisho looked at his watch. "Well, time to go persuade my little elf to have dinner with me." He stood, starting towards the door. "Goodnight, son, and try not to work too hard."

Sesshomaru allowed himself to sigh out loud, sitting back in his chair. "Why does this idea not me comfortable?" His inner demon growled back at him. Sesshomaru pushed him and the thought to the back his mind before leaning forward to finish his work, he had a meeting with another company's agent.

Rin sighed in relief setting down her now empty basket. It had been a long day handing out the sugar canes and keeping the children happy while they waited to Santa. It wasn't like she disliked the job, but she was glade it was over with.

"Evening…"

She turned seeing the man from earlier that day standing a few feet away. "Oh, hello…"

"Taisho Akuma." He offered stepping closer. "And your name?"

"Rin Sakura…"

"A lovely name for such a lovely lady." He stated taking her hand to kiss it smiling as a slight blush crept up her cheeks.

"Where are your grandchildren, Mr. Akuma?"

"Back with their parents." He explained. "And please, just Taisho."

"Is there something I can help you with, Taisho?" Rin asked softly.

His smile widened. "Well, as you seemed to hype my grandchildren up on those candy canes; I find myself alone for dinner this evening. I was wondering if you mind joining me."

Rin was a little taken back. "Dinner, with you?"

"I know we just met this afternoon and we're complete strangers…I would love to get to know you more; nothing fancy. I know this charming diner not far from here."

Rin knew it was wrong, but the guy did seem to be alright. And she would have to eat anyway. She smiled. "I guess if it's nothing fancy."

Alright, I know I have a few stories out there unfinished, though I seemed to have ran into some writer block, but as my life has seemed to be taking a good turn and getting straighten out I wanted to give all my loyal followers and readers a Christmas Special. I might not be able to post everyday just yet, but I will be doing my best to post often and finish this story. Thank you again for all the support and love. It means a lot. I am sorry about the others I will get to them.

Now onto the story, for anyone who knows my story The Christmas Bride where I had started off with Rin dating Taisho, but she ended up with Sesshomaru. It will be the same here, but with a little twist to it, but that's my surprise here. So I hope no one throws anything at me, please.

I hope you all enjoy this present of mine.
