On a night not so very long ago, in a somewhat faroff place a family dwelled in peace. Winter had fallen, the chill in the breeze would tell one that much. Snow dusted the area, rooftops glistened.
It was such a night that Kagome loved, she sat before the fireplace. Her small hands upon a book as she nestled into the plush pillows about her. She loved the holiday season, appropriate for she held the night before christmas reading it as she always did just days before the beloved day.
Souta had settled down for the night, moments before. Her mother was still reading to him she supposed. She was content in the firelight stroking Buyo's head every now and then.
Footsteps came a little later. She looked up to see her father , red cheeks of florid color induced by winter's frigid kiss. She smiled. In his arm was a bundle of sorts. She wondered what had him so excited.
" Kagome, I know Christmas is still a few days away. " Kagome nodded as her father paused. "But I absolutely loved this once I laid eyes upon it and I just thought of you. " He handed her the bundle. It was wrapped simply but she smiled. She knew just how much this mattered to her father.
Undoing the string she watched curiously as she unraveled the wrapping. In her hands, a small wooden nutcracker. Perfectly handcrafted down to the last button on the small jacket. She looked up, mirth in those chocolate brown eyes that blazed a nearly honey color in the lighting.
A small laugh of glee escaped her.
"I absolutely love it father! " They shared an embrace and he grinned. He looked quite satisfied. With a chaste kiss to the cheek, off he went in search of her mother.
Once again she sat alone new gift in hand as she inspected it. It was so adorable in an odd way. Painted with eyes of amber she arched a brow. Not your typical Nutcracker. She turned it over and found long locks of silver tied with a crimson bow.
"Beautiful.." She whispered, she felt odd suddenly. It was as if she weren't alone. That was ridiculous seeing as she was the only one in the living room, even Buyo had wandered off somewhere. It was her and the nutcracker.
She laughed at her own antics as she set the tiny figurine down beside the gifts. "Goodnight.." She whispered with a smile.
Turning on her heel, she adjusted her robe and off she went to her room. Slumber a welcome thought as she cupped a hand over her yawning mouth.
*-*-*-*-*-*
"Ku ku ku ku.." An insidious smirk appeared upon the darkened features of that wretched rodent. Dull red eyes cast a malevolent gaze upon the nutcracker. Now would be the perfect time to strike. More squeaks about him as his minions seemed to realize the direction of his thoughts.
"Tonight we strike." The buzz of amusement reverberated about him. This indeed would be a glorious night.
