Hey, this isn't quite what I normally write about, but I was sitting in an extremely boring class and it was snowing and it just inspired me to write for some reason. It's probably not very good, I haven't ever written an InuYasha story so bear with me and please give me any kind of suggestions.

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, obviously, why would I bother with fan fiction when I could write the actually story.

************************************************************************

The snow was piled high outside of Kaede's house. InuYasha seemed to be fascinated by it. He watched it intently as it fell to the ground and the nearby trees. His ears drooping slightly, almost laying flat on his silvery mane.

Sango and Kagome were next to the fireplace basking in the warmth that was radiating from it.

Miroku was fast asleep in a nearby chair, dreaming of lechery no doubt, from the smile that adorned his face.

The old Priestess, Kaede, watched all their activities from afar with Shippo and Kirara. Wondering how such a group of people ever ended up together.

InuYasha, half human, half demon who despises all humans, and is in search of the legendary Jewel of Four Souls, the Shikon Jewel to become a full demon.

Miroku, the perverted Priest who was in search of both a woman to bear his child and the Shikon Jewel to kill Naraku, the cause of the deadly wind tunnel in his right hand.

Sango, the demon exterminator out to get revenge on Naraku for killing her family and tricking her into taking a Shikon Jewel to go after InuYasha. So she joined InuYasha because they were also after Naraku.

And finally, Kagome, the reincarnation of the Priestess Kikyo, literally pulled from her time because the Shikon Jewel was embedded inside of her. Then it was mostly her fault that the Jewel was shattered and scattered into different parts of InuYasha's world. So she joined with InuYasha to find all the pieces.

Four totally different people brought together in search of the Shikon Jewel. Becoming fast friends despite the untrusting when they first met. The feelings of more than just friends being obvious to Kaede, but the ones involved failing to notice. "This should be an eventful few days," the old Priestess muttered under her breath.

The only movement from InuYasha was the occasional blinking of his eyes. The snow put him at ease as it fell softly to the ground. They would be stranded here a few days he knew, but it wouldn't be that bad if Miroku sleeps though all of it.

"So...Kagome...have you taken time to rethink my offer," Miroku asks with an eyebrow raised ever so slightly.

InuYasha's right ear raises as his head turns ever so slightly to glare at Miroku, who has just recently awoken. Kagome turns to look at InuYasha and he jerks his head back towards the window.

Hearing the sound of flesh hitting flesh a smirk came to InuYasha's face.

"Ahh, Sango what was that for," Miroku wined while holding his cheek, "Oh, forgive me Lady Sango, I didn't know you wanted me so."

Another loud slap made InuYasha burst out laughing, "Miroku, you really have a way with women don't you?"

"You have room to talk," Miroku huffed as InuYasha composed himself.

Sango looked from Miroku to InuYasha and back again.

Kagome sensed some tension between the two, " how about we go outside and build a snowman," she suggested.

"What's a sno-whatever," InuYasha looked at Kagome like she had sprouted a new head.

"A snowman, it's a man, well a really round fat man kind of thing made out of snow. It doesn't have to be fat, but you might be able to make a kind of sculpture of someone that you know, but the traditional snowman is fat."

InuYasha just looked at Kagome and then back out the window. "How do you make a something out of snow?"

"The snow sticks together, haven't you noticed that when you walk in it, it packs down and sticks to your shoes, or well...in your case your feet," Kagome attempted to explain, "you roll the snow into three or four different sized balls. The bottom on bigger than the rest and the next one smaller than the bottom and so on."

Through this whole explanation InuYasha had a confused look on his face. His ears almost unnaturally flat on top of his head as he thought about what she said.

"Can you make a snowwoman," Miroku asked and Sango gave him a look that said 'don't push your luck.'

Miroku looked at her and a small smile came to his lips, "Dear Sango, it was you that I had planned on sculpting."

This brought another quick hand to Miroku's cheek, "You do and Kirara will be hot on your trail, I will be sure of it."

Kirara poked her little head out from behind Kaede's open door and looked towards Sango, before disappearing as quickly as she appeared.

Kaede walks into the room and feels the tension building, "Kagome is right, ye-all need to go outside and do something. Ye especially InuYasha, I think it will do ye good to experience the traditions from Kagome's time."

"It's not like I wasn't going to go check out this snowman business old woman," InuYasha snapped.

"Your interested in making a snowman InuYasha," Kagome asked looking over at InuYasha.

"Well, it's not like I can do anything else. I can't exactly go hunting down Jewel shards. So making a snowman might make the time go by faster," InuYasha explained.

"I guess that's the only kind of excuse you can ever make. But I guess that's ok, its sort of the thought that counts."
