It just so happens, I'm in a very Christmas happy mood, and felt like writing a funny lil Christmas carol song fic. It was just meant to be a stupid little fic for the heck of it, but it turned out better than I thought, so I put more effort into it, and it isn't just a one-shot anymore. Anyways, enough of my rambling, here's my story!


"Come ON Inuyasha. Pretty please?" begged Kagome for the hundredth time.
"No Kagome, I won't do it. You can't say or do anything that would make me do it" Inuyasha said in his usual stubborn attitude. "Kagome, WHY are you trying to get INUYASHA to dress up as Santa. You KNOW he won't do it" Sango said, shaking her head in disbelief at how stubborn both Kagome and Inuyasha were.
"Although Inuyasha may not be willing to dress up as Santa, I am more than willing to… As long as Kagome and Sango are on my naughty list" the lecherous Miroku said with a wink. "Miroku, you keep your grubby paws AWAY from Kagome!" growled Inuyasha, standing a little closer to her.
"Don't even THINK about it Houshi!" Sango warned dangerously as Miroku turned to her with a smile from ear to ear. "You know, you CAN call me by my first name dear Sango" Miroku replied, taking Sango's hand. "You do know me well enough that we can be on a first-name basis. And if you feel you don't know me that well… come back to my place and we'll 'get to know' each other" he added, winking again.
"Hmph!" Sango replied, pulling a Santa hat over Miroku's eyes and walked off to decorate the company Christmas tree in the staff room.
"Why did I volunteer to decorate the stupid offices for Christmas again?" grumbled Inuyasha.
"YOU didn't. Kagome did FOR you" Miroku said pointedly. "Come on Inuyasha, lets go decorate the board office room. It NEEDS some festivity and cheeriness!" Kagome chirped, grabbing Inuyasha and dragging him along before he could respond. "Hey Sango, the tree's looking really nice" commented Miroku smoothly as he walked into the staff room.
"Thanks" she mumbled "mind if I turn on the radio? It's too quiet here at night" she added, going over to the stereo. "Go for it. There's some really nice Christmas songs on" "I like-" "Baby It's Cold Outside" Miroku finished for her.
"How did you know?" She said, shocked. "You play it all the time. I just kind of guessed" "Oh… do I really play it THAT often?" she asked, reaching for another ornament for the tree. "Yes, but it's my favourite song too, I like it" "Hey, I like this song too" Sango said laughing as another song came on the radio.

I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause,
Underneath the mistletoe last night,
She didn't see me creep,
Down the stairs to have a peep,
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep.

Sango sang along to the music, her slim body swaying to the music while she hung Christmas ornaments on the tree. Miroku picked up the nearest ornament and began helping Sango, admiring the care in which she used to hang each one in a special spot, making sure it looked good there. All the while Sango sang along, until suddenly, she stopped. "Why'd you stop? You sing so well?" Miroku questioned. Sango giggled, and pulled out something from the box… it was mistletoe. Miroku smiled. "What are you gunna do with that?" he asked.
"Hang in in front of Kagome's office door, and make sure Inuyasha is the first one to go under it" she said deviously. "Oh, I had an even better idea." Miroku replied, swiping the mistletoe from Sango. She looked at him curiously.
"What are you going to do with that?" she asked nervously.
"This!" He said, placing the mistletoe above Sango's head. Miroku dipped Sango low, and pulled her back up with a dramatic spin to follow. He pulled her in close, laughing with her. "Merry Christmas" she whispered as he leaned close. Miroku smiled back at her.
"A very merry Christmas indeed" he whispered back, his face inches from hers.

"I TOLD you!!! I knew it would work!" Sango whispered excitedly. It was now Christmas Eve day. Everyone had gathered for a party at their work. Although it was an inconvenient date, almost everyone had made it, not having any other plans. Sango had also stayed true to her plans of placing mistletoe above Kagome's office door, and yelled at anyone that wasn't Inuyasha who wanted to see her. Sango wanted to set up Inuyasha and Kagome, but she knew if Kagome found out it was her, then she would be in a LOT of trouble. So she set up the mistletoe plan, knowing it couldn't be traced back to her. "Hey Kagome" said Inuyasha, walking into Kagome's office. "Hey" she said absent mindedly, filing some papers. "You know, this is your day off, and your at a party, why are you working?" Inuyasha said, trying his best not to sound like he missed her out in the main hall where everyone else was. "Well, I just wanted to get a head start on some things. I'll be out soon, don't worry." she replied, never looking up from her work. "Aw come on Kags, it's a PARTY, and its YOU. You LOVE parties, and people, and being the centre of attention. All those things are out there, WHY are you still working!" he pleaded.
"He looks like he'd get down on both knees and kiss her feet if it would get her out there" Miroku whispered back to Sango. They were both sitting in Miroku's office, which was adjacent from Kagome's. From there they could spy on the others, without being noticed themselves. "Fine, I'll come, I'm done anyways" Kagome said, annoyance lacing her voice now. They walked to the door together. Once they were about to leave, Kagome giggled. "What's so funny?" Inuyasha growled defensively, assuming it had something to do with him. Kagome said nothing, she just kept laughing, and looked up.
"Don't you see what we're under?" she asked, once her fit of giggles had subsided. Inuyasha blushed furiously, changing a thousand different shades of red. He tried to say something, but it didn't seem to work. "When in Rome!" Kagome said whimsically, leaning closer to Inuyasha.

Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Clause,
Underneath his beard so snowy white,
Oh what a laugh it would have been,
If daddy had only seen, mommy kissing Santa Clause last night.

"YOU!" shouted Inuyasha, seeing Sango and Miroku doubled over in gales of laughter near Miroku's office door.
"You set this up didn't you?" he yelled, starting to look like Santa Claus with his cheeks so rosy red. "Who us?" they said in unison. This made them laugh even harder. Now even Kagome was blushing at the scene that was caused. "Inuyasha! SIT!" she yelled, thinking of nothing better to say that would get him to stop. Inuyasha fell anime-style out of shock. "Oh oh oh, I can't believe you just said that" "Change those 'Oh oh oh's ' to 'Ho ho ho's' and you would make a great Santa" Kagome said flirtatiously, "All you need is a beard to match your white hair!" "Hey!" Inuyasha whined, "It's not my fault, white hair at an early age runs in the family!" "You know, he's right. You can blame that one on our father." called a voice behind Kagome. When she turned around, she found herself face-to-face with Sesshoumaru. "Don't DO that! You scared the CRAP outta me!" shouted Kagome. "Hi Kagome!!!" shouted little Rin, running out from behind Sesshoumaru . "Hey Rin, how are you today?" Kagome said, leaning down to be at eye level with the adorable adopted daughter of Sesshoumaru. "I wanna go see Santa, but Daddy said that we had to come here first!" she chirped, ignoring the question. "Speaking of which, I guess it's about time we be off. Come Jaken" he demanded. "Yes Sesshoumaru, right away sir" called his intern. "Come on guys, let's get outta here too" suggested Miroku.
"Lets go to my house. I've got lots of room, and Kohaku went out to a Christmas party with his friends, so we've got the house to ourselves" Suggested Sango. "Sure" chirped Kagome "Keh" was all Inuyasha said.
Back at Sango's house, everyone agreed to finally share their secret Santa gifts. "I got you Kagome. Here, hope its ok" said Inuyasha, roughly shoving a badly wrapped present into Kagome's hands. She looked slightly stunned, either at the bad wrapping or at the fact Inuyasha had said he hoped it was Ok. "Thanks Inuyasha, I'm sure I'll love it," she said, trying to open her heavily taped present. After a few minutes of struggle, and a little help from Inuyasha, Kagome managed to open her present. "It's beautiful!" exclaimed Kagome, her eyes shinning like a child's would on Christmas day, seeing they got that long-hoped gift after all.
"You're just saying that." Inuyasha huffed.
"No, I'm not, it's AMAZING. Thank you so much Inuyasha" she replied happily, holding up a golden bracelet with tiny heart hanging around it. "That's beautiful, Inuyasha, you really know how to treat a girl!" Sango exclaimed in awe. "Well, I mustn't be out done!" Miroku huffed, "Sango, I got you for Secret Santa. Here" he said, turning to Sango, and pulling out a slender package wrapped in golden paper, with sliver snowflakes. "Ooh I wonder what it is!" Sango said excitedly. Unlike Kagome, Sango could easily open her present. With the wrapping gone, a long slim black box was revealed. Sango opened this box, and gasped.
"Oh thank you Miroku! Its beautiful!" She exclaimed looking down at the small gold, heart shaped locket it her hands. "Open it." he commanded sweetly. Sango open the locket with care, and inside, on one side was a family picture of her, her parents and her brother. On the other was a picture of her and all her friends. "Kohaku helped me get the family portrait. And the other picture is the one I insisted we take on the last day of work" Miroku explained. "Where did you find the picture of everyone, I thought we didn't have any pictures from… before the…from before." questioned Sango quietly.
"Kohaku said he had kept it on his bedside when it was first developed. And he brought it with him… during the fire. That was the only thing he had been able to save. He was glad he did. He thought you might want it" Miroku said sweetly, careful of how he worded things. A single tear fell down Sango's cheek.
"I'm sorry Sango, I wasn't thinking. I shouldn't have put that in there, I should have known it was too soon. Please forgive me" Miroku pleaded, a pained expression washing over his face. "No" Sango choked out. "No, I love it, thank you. It's amazing. I really do love it" she finished, smiling to him. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes, positive" she said, wiping the tear from her face.
"Now, I got you something too" she said straightening up. Sango handed Miroku a small package wrapped with obvious care. "Hope you like it" she added. Miroku tore the paper off carefully, not wanting to wreck it. Slowly, he pulled out a small box. Inside the box was a watch.
"I.. You.. It's…" Miroku tried to form words, but it didn't work very well. Finally he managed two.
"Thank you" he said.
"You mean you actually like it?" Sango said, shocked.
"No!" Miroku shouted. Sango's face fell. "I love it" he added softy. Sango looked as if she was going to cry again. "Well, now it's my turn! Inuyasha, obviously, since you're the only one without a present, I got you" said Kagome cheerily.
"Keh" was all Inuyasha responded with. "Here" she said, shoving a box into his arms, blushing. Inuyasha hastily tore the wrapping paper off. Underneath the paper was a box with a snowman on it. He lifted the lid of the box to reveal and red hooded sweater and a beaded guys necklace. "Uh, thanks Kags" Inuyasha replied. Kagome didn't seem too happy with his response.
"Uh thanks! UH THANKS! I SPEND HOURS TRYING TO FIND YOU SOMETHING YOU WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS UH THANKS! I DON'T THINK SO MISTER. YOU BETTER GIVE ME THE APPRECIAT-" Kagome screamed until she was interrupted by Inuyasha's fingers on her soft lips. She looked at him questioningly.
"I love it, THANK YOU Kagome." he replied, slowly taking his hand from her mouth.
"You're welcome" Kagome said calmly. The group spent the rest of their evening chatting idly, and singing- much to Inuyasha's displeasure- Christmas carols. It was late into the night before anyone thought of leaving. Finally, at around 1 am Inuyasha said he was going to go home, and Kagome got a ride with him. Sango was almost positive she saw a faint blush cross both of their cheeks as they walked out together. As for herself, she was left with Miroku. A silence past between them after Kagome and Inuyasha left. For Sango it was the first time she had ever felt completely comfortable without a word passing between her and a guest. As for Miroku, it was the first time he had ever experienced such a silence without getting slapped for groping the girl out of boredom. "Would you like some cocoa and cookies?" asked Sango, getting up and heading to the kitchen.
"Sure, mind if I help" he offered, getting up too. "Sure" she called from the kitchen. When Miroku got into the kitchen he realized it was the first time he had been in this part of the house. He was shocked at the décor of her kitchen. He had expected a cold, steel and black marble type of kitchen, but found himself in a warm kitchen. The room was a warm, deep red, with yellow accents the color of golden rays of sunshine. All the furniture was dark, rich wood. "Wow" was all Miroku could say about the beautiful décor. "My kitchen's kinda messy, hope you don't mind" she apologised. "What are you talking about, it's beautiful, and spotless" he said, louder than intended. Sango jumped. "Sorry" he said, smiling ruefully. "Could you get the milk out of the fridge for me Miroku?" Sango asked politely. Miroku complied without saying anything, and handed her the milk. Sango made a fresh batch of warm and gooey cookies, apparently she had pre-made the dough earlier. Along with their warm, delicious cookies, Miroku was treated to homemade, old fashioned cocoa. "This was awesome" Miroku said, yawning. "What time is it anyways?" he asked looking for a clock.
"umm… THREE AM!" Sango replied.
"Ugh, so far to my house" Miroku said, thinking out loud. "Well why don't you stay here?" Sango offered, blushing slightly.
"You can sleep in Kohaku's room… wait that's a bad idea. How about the guest room! Duh, I can't believe I didn't think of that first!" she exclaimed, smacking herself in the head. "Are you sure?" he questioned, trying not to sound too eager. "Yeah of course. We have extra toothbrushes, and I can get you some spare clothes" Sango replied, ticking of a list of what he would need on her slim fingers.
"Sounds great" Miroku said, thanking her. "Well, I think I'm gunna stay up a bit longer. You can go to bed if you want, I'll get your stuff. Or you can stay up and watch hockey with me" she offered. Miroku thought a moment 'Hmm… well I am exhausted… but… hockey and Sango? That's too good to pass up' thought Miroku.
"I think I'll stay up. I'm not yawn that tired" he said, getting up and clearing his dishes. Miroku helped Sango wash the dirty dishes. "Thanks for your help Miroku. Why don't you go get comfy now while I finish up the last couple of dishes. I'll be there in a sec" she offered.
"K, thanks" he said, heading towards the living room. Miroku sprawled across the large black leather sofa in the living room and clicked on the T.V. Sango soon walked in, and headed to the leather chair by Miroku. "Sango, sit here" he said, playfully patting the open space he had made in front of him on the couch. Sango looked at him carefully, and decided he meant well enough. She lied down on the couch beside him, and he wrapped his arms around her protectively to ensure she wouldn't fall. "Miroku, do you want me to get your bed ready?" she asked quietly half way through the game. "…Miroku?" she called again when he didn't answer her. This time she did get a response, Miroku's light snoring. Sango laughed inwardly, and got up carefully to get him a blanket for the couch.
When Sango came back with the blanket, she tucked Miroku in carefully, and lied back down beside him to finish watching the game. Sango soon was half asleep herself, and didn't react when Miroku wrapped the blanket around her tiny form as well. He kissed her forehead lightly. "Goodnight, Merry Christmas" he whispered in her ear. "Merry Christmas" she murmured back. Smiling, and wrapped in each other's arms, Miroku and Sango fell into deep sleeps.
