None of these characters except for Kyo are mine, they belong to their creator.
Kagome sighed as she wrote in her journal. She was trying to figure out the best way to bring up that she wanted to see her family.
She knew that Inuyasha would complain and she really didn't want another fight with him to break out.
They'd already had one that morning, when he'd been picking on little Shippo. So much so, that she'd 'sat' him.
Now she was just trying to not start anything with him. She hated fighting with him, but at times she couldn't help it.
She gave another sigh and continued to write in her book.
Up above in the branches of the tree, Kagome sat beneath, an irritated hanyou sat.
Watching the woman, who seemed fairly busy writing something, or doing something with that book of her's.
He didn't really care, he was still pissed off at her for 'sitting' him earlier.
This time it wasn't his fault for picking on the brat. The brat had it coming.
Inuyasha had been minding his own business, when the little whelp had snuck up on him and suddenly the hanyou was going round and round, due to the kit's fox magic spinning top.
Once the trick had worn off, Inuyasha had wasted no time in bopping the annoying kid in the head for the not so fun ride.
Of course the brat had begun crying and that had brought Kagome into the situation and before even hearing him out, she'd 'sat' him, then simply walked away.
Inuyasha growled slightly "Damn brat...always causing trouble...hm?"
He noticed Kagome stand and stretch, before taking a sip of water. He watched her replace the cap and sigh
"Well, better get this over with..."
The hanyou wasn't sure what she had to get over and he didn't know if he'd like what it was.
Kagome's bottle of water suddenly came flying at him and he caught it with ease.
"Huh?" he looked down, to see her smiling face.
"Thirsty?" she asked and sat back down.
He watched her inhale deeply. Now he knew what she had to get over.
He groaned and lept down, to be in front of the girl.
"How many days this time?" he asked, completely surprising the raven haired woman.
She'd been expecting him to freak out and shout at her, but here he was actually asking how long she would need this time.
"Ah...well..." she took out a little pink book and skimmed through.
"Hm?"
"Ah...well I was hoping for maybe 7..."
"7! What about the normal 3 days?"
"Well, this is a bit different, see there's a special family event happening and I..."
"Is it one of those reunion things?"
"Kind of. See, in the future we celebrate a holiday called Christmas."
"Chritsmas?"
"Christmas. It's a family sort of holiday, when family and loved ones get together to celebrate a special event that happened thousands of years ago, even long before this time."
"Huh...and it'll take 7 days?"
"About that...I might be able to make it 6, but 7 at the most."
Inuyasha thought and watched the girl's liquid chocolate pools. He saw the hope that he'd agree swimming within them and sighed
"Fine. 7 days...should give the weaklings time to recover anyway."
Inuyasha noticed Kagome's bright smile.
Gee, he thought if this was all it took to make her smile like that...maybe he shouldn't have been so harsh with her those other times.
Kagome was overcome with joy and impulsively hugged the now blushing hanyou.
"Thank you, Inuyasha. This really means a lot to me." She said and suddenly had an idea.
"Hey, Inuyasha?"
"What now?"
"Why don't you come with me?"
