A/N: Well here's my Christmas story. It's gonna be kinda short but I hope you enjoy it.
Ch.1
Sesshomaru POV
It's almost Christmas…I hate Christmas. It was the last time I was with her. We had always been friends for a long time but we started having feelings for one another. Then one party that my father just so happened to throw on Christmas Day, he had invited her over. I knew it was my father's trick to get me and her together…and it worked. Father got me and her to stand under mistletoe together and as the tradition goes, we kissed. It was also the last time I saw her.
I never even got the chance to give her my gift…
Normal POV
Sesshomaru was sitting in his office like always with his bored as ever look on his face and sitting on his computer. He had been reading the same paper that he finished typing over and over again for hours now. He was done with all the work that he was to do for the month now since he was normally the first one in the office and the last one to leave. Yet he refused to leave when everyone thinks he should and just get ready for the holidays.
"Oh hey Scrooge, it still seems like those Christmas ghost haven't visited you yet." Inuyasha said as he passed his office. He was heading to one of the many Christmas party that his father threw for the company (yes his father loves parties). Everyone loved going to the party, everyone that is except Sesshomaru.
"Bah humbug." Sesshomaru complimented with the nickname that his brother gave him. "I have too much work to do than to go to such nonsense things."
"You know that as much as I do that you're still sulking over losing Kagome." Inuyasha said earning a glare from Sesshomaru. If the desk wasn't in the way he would have his hands around Inuyasha's neck and strangled him until he was close to death.
"Don't you have a party to go to?" Sesshomaru said as his eyes went back to the screen.
"Why yes, yes I do. See ya around Scrooge."
Once he was gone Sesshomaru put his head in his hands. He was angry that he couldn't get Kagome out of his mind. She flooded his thoughts at different points of the day and around the holidays, nothing else invaded his mind. They've went their separate ways years ago, four to be exact. He never understood why she left. She was never unhappy with him and he gave her all she wanted so why the hell did she leave?
"Looks like you have a lot on your mind son." A voice much deeper but more playful said, pulling him out of his thoughts long enough to register who was talking.
"No, I don't have a lot on my mind, just one thing." Sesshomaru said as he rested his head on one hand.
His father came in the office and said, "You know, there's a party going on down the hall, you should go and enjoy a break every once in a while."
"Everyone thinks I need a break, I do not need a break." He said threw his teeth. He nearly growled at his father but he controlled himself. He then started to read his 'prized' paper again.
Taisho shook his head in pity for his elder son and just went over to the computer and pulled the plug. Sesshomaru sat still and closed his eyes, trying to control his anger but failing as a growl escaped from deep within his throat.
"So now what are you going to do, turn it back on once I leave and start reading that paper, which you already turned in to me, over again. He then sat down in the chair on the other side of the desk as Sesshomaru turned the chair to face the window to avoid looking at his father.
"Sesshomaru, I know you miss her because I do too, she was a good one for you but you're just going to have to move on. If it wasn't meant to be then it wasn't." He said standing up and walking over to the door.
Once he got to the door he took one more glance at the chair that held Sesshomaru then breathed out a long, frustrating sigh then turned to walk down the hallway. He stopped when he heard him say, "It would be easier for me to move on if I knew why she left me."
Taisho smiled then said before walking off to the party, "I'm sure you'll find out one of these days, till then, you should at least have some hot coco or eggnog."
Alone once again, his eyes were fixed on the window since there was no use of reading that paper again. He looked at the cityscape and saw that it was snowing for the first time this year. He always hated the snow because it proved how cold it was outside but there was a time when he didn't mind. He and Kagome used to sit together in their apartment before he bought their house and watch the first snow fall together under a big blanket while drinking hot coco. He hated the snow then too but Kagome loved it, it didn't snow where she lived so every time it snowed for the first time she would watch it like a wide eyed child.
He let a small smile creep on his features as he sat back remembering the times he and Kagome watched the snow. They lived in the apartment together as soon as he started school eight years ago and only lived in it as soon as he graduated five years ago. The year that he bought and lived in their house was the year that everything went bad. Then on that Christmas, she left.
He stood up now that his lonely feelings have came back and stretched his muscles that was unused from sitting in his chair for the hours that he's been there and walked out the office.
Practically everyone in the ten story building was on the ninth floor because it was where the party was taking place. The cheesy Christmas music was played threw out the floor and some people were dancing to it. Others watch and laughed at how ridiculous their coworkers were being and taking their pictures for blackmail or thinking of putting them on the next Christmas card. Then the rest were sitting around and talking while drinking eggnog or hot coco. Everyone was just having a good time.
All went silent when Sesshomaru stepped in, and I mean silent, the music even stopped playing. All eyes went on the new arrival as if they did something wrong. Sesshomaru felt like he shouldn't have decided to come but it was too late to turn now.
"So are you just going to stand there and look at me?" He said very dryly and everyone took it as his way of saying 'stop-looking-at-me-and-party' so party they did.
Sesshomaru sat down somewhere and Inuyasha came over to him. "I thought I'd never see the day when you of all people would come to one of dad's office parties." He said as he held up his digital camera and took a picture of his brother.
"And why the hell did you just take my picture?"
"I'm thinking about making you into a Christmas card for the family."
"Half-breed, if you intend on keeping that camera then you should erase that picture immediately."
"Fine, you take the fun out of everything." Inuyasha said as he erased the picture then left him alone. A man with short black hair came over to him and handed him a glass of eggnog. "Well, about time you came out your office for once."
"Miroku, don't joke around with me either, I'm not in the mood for games right now." He said as he took the eggnog and sipped some only to make a face of disgust. "This eggnog taste like whisky."
"Oops, I forgot to warn you that your father made it. He may have put a little too much bourbon in it." Miroku said trying to hold in his laughter. (A/N: For those who don't know, eggnog does have alcohol in it, the main alcohol for the drink is a type of whisky called bourbon. Look it up and see for yourself.)
Inuyasha came from out of nowhere and quickly snapped his picture while he still had the look of disgust on his face. "Yes I have the perfect picture and nothing you do will make me erase it fluffy!" He yelled as he ran off.
Sesshomaru rubbed his temples now that his head was pounding and said to himself, "He and that damn camera are dead."
"Miroku, you need to stop messing around people. Everyone knows not to drink Mr. Taisho's eggnog unless you want alcohol except for Sesshomaru." A woman with long, dark brown hair in a high ponytail said to him while hitting him upside his head. She handed him a cup of hot coco.
Sesshomaru looked at the coco and sniffed it to make sure nothing was wrong with it. "It's okay to drink, I made it this year." With that he took a sip and sat back as he felt it go down. It reminded him of how Kagome's coco tasted. It was rich and creamy and the taste of chocolate lingered after it's been swallowed.
"Thank you…Sango, it's really good." He said quietly. Sango and Miroku stared at him wide eyed, the all mighty and arrogant Sesshomaru was thanking someone for once in his life. "You're welcome." She said with a smile then she and Miroku left him alone. He sat there and watched everyone else enjoy themselves. He was still feeling lonely and hurt but being at the party made him feel a little better.
After the party was over, most people settled down at their desk and carried on with the little work that they had left or left to go home. With nothing else to do, Sesshomaru decided to go home, he got in his black Chrysler 300 and drove off.
He came to the first stoplight while on the way and saw the people trying to cross the busy intersection. He would usually pay no mind to them, they were people that he was to never see again because the city was big and it was rare to bump into some stranger twice.
Just as the light was about to change, something caught his eye. It was a little girl who couldn't be any older than three. He just assumed she was crossing the street with her mother. He couldn't see the woman's face because her head was turned to the other side looking up at the light. Her hair was a long raven color and it bounced with every step she took. She was rearing a long brown mink coat and some furry brown snow boots and some brown leather gloves and a brown fur hat on her head. She seemed to look like a normal woman who was just trying to get out the cold.
However, it was the little girl that she had that had him looking at them. She wore a white fur coat that look like it was eating her and some white boots to match her mothers and a white hat. She also had long silver hair. His eyes widened as he watched the two finally cross. He opened the door and stood up with one foot out the door in hopes to get a better look at the girl but with the honking of the cars behind him wanting him to move on so that they can get to their business, he got back in the car and went on his way.
That girl… Was all he could think of as he looked out his mirror once more and caught one last glimpse at the two.
