-Once Upon A December-

It was late December, almost Christmas. Kagome and Shippo were the only ones excited. Inuyasha was always depressed because Kikyo totally hated him for some unknown reason. Sango didnt really care about Christmas since she didnt have Kohaku yet. Miroku wanted to spend Christmas all alone with Sango but she slapped the hell out of him when he tried to get alone with her. Shippo thought,' I wonder what Kagome is getting me?!' UGH! Inuyasha is so depressed... Maybe I shouldnt get him something... GIRL YOU ARE GETTING HIM SOMETHING! Fine... He better like it... " Inuyasha!!" Kagome yelled. " What!?" " Its nothing..." What is that damn girl up to now? Maybe she wants to get you something? RAMEN SOUNDS GOOD! Kagome thought long and hard on what she was going to get him, Kikyo! Thats it! I will sacrifice my love for him and get Kikyo for him...

Kagome was depressed after she thought of that. I guess I will spend Christmas Eve with him and then tell him where Kikyo is and say," Merry Christmas Inuyasha!" Then he will leave and make Kikyo realize all his feelings for her... " Hey... Inuyasha... Do you want to spend Christmas Eve together?" Inuyasha thought of Kikyo and then said," Sure.... I guess it wont hurt..." Inuyasha turned away from Kagome and blushed. He noticed that Kagome ran into the forest yelling," Thanks Inuyasha! I will be right back...!" Inuyasha nodded and then he found Sango and Miroku in his face," Inuyasha? You better not make her cry because if you do then we wont forgive you!" They said it in unison. Sango looked away and blushed and Miroku just smiled. Shippo felt left out.

Kagome was heavily breathing as she finally found Kikyo resting by a tree. " K-Kikyo!" Kikyo opened her eyes and saw the person she didnt want to see the most. What does she want...? Just listen to her! " What?!" Kikyo whispered harshly. Kagome flinched back and said," W-Well... Do you really hate Inuyasha... I will give him to you on Christmas Eve.... He will meet you by this sacred tree around 12:00 P.M..." "Will you be with him?" " J-Just until then... I dont want Inuyasha or you to be unhappy..." " Then stay away from Inuyasha..." " I want to say goodbye so then I will leave back to my era and never come back... Trust me Kikyo-Sama..." " Tch! Dont add -Sama to my name like we are close friends!!!!!" Kikyo harshly yelled at Kagome.

Kagome flinched and looked down at the ground, and then she yelled back, with water falling down her cheeks," AT LEAST YOU GET INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome yelled fiercely. Kikyo couldnt believe that Kagome yelled back at her. Kikyo looked away and nodded her head. Kagome thought, I-I cant go back in this condition... Then wait till you look acceptable...! Okay. Inuyasha started to get worried because Kagome didnt come back yet. " Im taking a little walk!" Then he stomped off towards the forest. " Sure you are Inuyasha..." Sango and Miroku whispered.

Kagome's tears still fell out of her eyes. I dont want to let Inuyasha go... Kagome started to sing

Dancing bears

Painted wings

Things I almost remember,

And a song someone sings

once upon a december

Someone holds me safe and warm,

horses prance through a silver storm,

Figures dancing gracefully,

across my memory,

(singing aaaaa with the melody)

Someone holds me safe and warm,

horses prance through a silver storm,

Figures dancing gracefully,

across my memory,

Far away, long ago

things I yern to remember

and a song someone sings

Once upon a December

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

Inuyasha heard her sing, he hid behind a tree because he knew that if Kagome saw him she would stop singing. He wondered why her song finished so fast. He quietly looked from behind the branch at Kagome and noticed that she was crying. He quickly came ou from behind the branch and asked," K-Kagome..." Kagome didnt even look up, she just started crying harder. Great... Im hearing his voice... Then Kagome actually looked up and saw that Inuyasha was staring at her with saddend eyes. Kagome covered her mouth and looked away. " K-Kag-" He was cut off by a tight hug from Kagome. Inuyasha couldnt help but blush. He was in love with her, but he wanted to know why Kikyo hated him. Dont cry Kagome... He hugged Kagome back, when Kagome suddenly pulled away and whispered," Sorry.." and with that she ran.

Inuyasha watched her run as fast as she could. He started to chae after her, until she tripped over a branch. She's not getting up... Dammit! Inuyasha ran faster than he had ever run to get to Kagome. He picked her up bridal style and carried her to a safe place. " Why isnt Inuyasha and Kagome back?" " Maybe he ran into some trouble?" Miroku couldnt help but smirk. When Kagome finally came to, she noticed that she was leaning on Inuyasha's shoulder. " You finally awake now?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha, but she couldnt see him correctly because her eyes were clouded with tears.

She wiped her eyes slowly and said," Y-Yeah... I guess..." Inuyasha is... Oh... My... God..... Smiling... " So... Why were you crying?" Inuyasha asked solemnly. " T-Thats because..." I cant tell him that I went to see Kikyo... " I just tripped and fell a couple times..." " Are you sure?" " I-Im fine now.." " You dont look fine..." " S-S-Sit Boy!!!!" "D-Dammit Kagome... What the hell was that for????" Kagome was smiling now. At least I can be with him for these couple days... " See I am perfectly fine!" Damn right she is... Kikyo was secretly watching Kagome and Inuyasha's scene. W-Why that little bitch... I will get her. Kikyo thought.

Inuyasha sensed Kikyo's prescence and decided it was best if they got back. Inuyasha stood up and started off. " Come on slow poke!" Kagome smiled and followed him. Kikyo was glaring daggers at Kagome. " It was about time you two got back!" Miroku yelled. " I guess instead of going on a walk you went to find Kagome." " N-No! I just ran into her t-thats all!" Inuyasha stammered. Kagome smiled and said," Im glad he found me because if he didnt I would probably be dead right now!" Well thats that... I have to have a great 4 days!

" I guess that I will be spending my Christmas with Miroku..." Sango sighed. Miroku galred at Sango saying," HEY! Whats so bad about it??????!!!" Sango giggled. " W-What about me?" Shippo asked with teary eyes. "Meow" Kilala rubbed against Shippo. " I-I guess I am with Kilala..." " DONT SAY THAT LIKE ITS A BAD THING!!!!!Sango yelled at Shippo. Shippo ran. Kagome laughed at that. Inuyasha was trying to think of what he should get Kagome. What would she like? A kiss? Inuyasha turned a bright red at the thought. NO WAY! I think she might hate me if I did that...

Oh No... What should I get him? A kiss? Kagome turned a bright red at the thought. N-No way! I think he wants the kiss from Kikyo... Inuyasha and Kagome were in a bunch. It was a day until the fated day of the reunion between Kikyo and Inuyasha. Kagome lost face when she thought of that. She couldnt smile for at least an hour. She can smile now at least. She already bought what she thought for Inuyasha. I was a neckalace with her picture and Inuyasha's picture in it. She wrapped it in Inuyasha's favorite color, red. She thought it was a lovely gift. She wanted to know if Inuyasha got her anything. Most likely not... You dont know that! Yes i do! NO! YES! He will give you something trust me! Fine... It was Christmas Eve and Inuyasha and Kagome met by a tree in the woods. Inuyasha followed Kagome's scent.

Inuyasha was going to kiss her for a present. Alrighty! I will kiss her! I wonder what she got me... Or is going to give me...? " Hey Kagome?" " Yeah Inuyasha?" She smiled a beautiful smile. Inuyasha couldnt help but blush a little. D-Did he just blush at my smile? Maybe it was a bad idea to give him to Kikyo! Kagome sighed. " Kagome? Whats with the sigh?" " Oh its nothing just thinking that if I fall on my face I will be over with..." " Say What????????????????" " Nevermind!!" It was 11:00 P.M. Almost time to set him free from my grasp... " Soo... What did you get me Inuyasha?" Kagome took out her gift and gave it to Inuyasha, " Open it!" " But arent we supposed to exchange gifts at 12:00?" " Well I have two gifts for you..."
