Partridge in a Pear Tree
Kagome still had the repetitive tune stuck in her head and it was beginning to get annoying. Shippo had questioned her about the tune she had been humming while they walked. Her explanation had led to more questions, mainly what was Christmas? She had struggled over a number of answers before falling back on what had brought the whole thing up, song. She had spent the rest of the day teaching those interested any of the carols that she could remember. Shippo's favourite, of course, had been "The Twelve Days of Christmas." The young kitsune had continued to sing the lengthy song all evening, until Kagome had been forced to save him from Inu Yasha's wrath.
She had offered to go in search of something for breakfast in order to make up for the torture she had unwittingly unleashed upon her friends. She also hoped to find something to get the stupid carol out of her head. As she came to the end of the final verse for the third time that morning, Kagome found herself stopped dead in her tracks. Strung up by a pair of scaly feet hung a gift bearing her name; a partridge in a pear tree.
