In celebration of the greatest holiday of all, (aside from Halloween), I'm introducing a new yet probably short tale. It'll be a few chapters long but it's my gift to you and I hope you enjoy it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gentle white puffs drifted from their heavenly home, descending onto the awaiting earth below. It's surface already covered in a thick blanket of glowing snow from the night's soft storm. It had lasted the entire darkness until slowing itself into the early hours of the morning. Now it fell in a more peaceful manner, with only the light sound of landing to show it's presence.

But following along side the snowy sound was another more rapid melody. The sound of feet fretting as they ran across the icy sheet. Deepening the footprints that followed as they stormed harder and harder. Each step unsure if it would loose footing from it's cold trap. Snow grabbing at each step taken then suddenly thrust away as it left for another jump.

However the young woman making the crunch-like sounds was in no sense of mind to bother with the ever flowing snowfall. Sure she enjoyed the sight and would probably stop later to see it's beauty, but as of now her mind was one track. One single thought racing as fast as her feet.

Please say 'yes'! Just this once if never again!

Her thought, of course, was the subject she'd been wondering about since the month's beginning. Her thought of a more enjoyable and understandable holiday. The greatest time of year when enemies become friends and more importantly…that family can stay as one, loving each other's company.

And after the month's start, it's endless middle, and finally reaching it's peek her answer would reach her. The one she hoped for…

Footsteps ceased her race when spotting the trio she had long hurried to find. A trio that would be invited to the most wonderful time to celebrate! And they didn't even know it yet.

"Rin!"

The black haired woman called to her young friend as she waved manically. Sure enough the girl responded as she turned to see Kagome.

"Huh? Oh Kagome!"

The elder woman laughed as she jogged over to the newly teenaged Rin. Both girls giggling as they shared a hug. Ignoring the sighs and grunts they received from the watching duo behind them.

"Kagome it's so nice to see you. You really need to come see us more often." Rin took a step back to smile up at her.

"I know but between work and fighting it's hard…Oh I can't get off topic! There's not a lot of time to chat but I was wondering…"

"Filthy human. Can't that damn half breed keep his woman under control?" The toad shrugged as he turned his back to the mortals. Facing his standing lord, who seemed quite interested in what the human wanted.

"Master Jaken it's not nice to say such things." Rin commented before returning to her smiling expression.

"I'll be mad about that later you creepy little imp. Anyway I was wondering if you might want to come stay the day with us tomorrow in celebration of Christmas." She held her hands out in excitement.

"What-Mas? Is it like that 'reunion' thing you've spoken of?" Rin cocked her head.

"Kind of…See on Christmas, families get together and enjoy one another. We spend all day together in honor of what we have and the lives we live. There's yummy cooking, laughing, and of course presents!"

The teen's eyes widened, "That sounds fun! And this is tomorrow?"

"Yep Christmas Day…Does that mean you'll be there…All of you I mean." She shifted her eyes to the blankly staring dog.

His eyes glared at her with a sense of disgust. He hated it when she starting pulling her cutesy little acts to try and bring him to their group. Several times had she attempted to force himself and his brother to be friendly. All ending in failure considering he hated humans and his brother sickened him constantly. Why was she so damn persistent? And why did she suck up to his mortal so much? To try and lure him to their pointless gathering?

He stopped his stare when feeling a tug on his sleeve. Looking down to realize Rin had come to him.

"Lord Sesshomaru, may we all go to Kagome's Christmas Reunion?"

Her warm eyes hiding the glossy snow that surrounded them, he noticed the unusual presence in her windows. The soul bearers that showed him how she felt and her excitement towards the older woman. He felt his own eyes warm with hers yet something prevented him from acting on what he thought he should do.

"Do as you please."

He lightly jerked his kimono sleeve from her loose grasp as he turned. A slow and steady pace began as Ah-Un started prancing after him. A worried Jaken not falling far behind. The original trio heading off as the snow began to fall harder.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Wait! Aren't you going to come too?!"

He ignored her questionable plea. His back stayed stone firm as if shutting her off from him. She sighed a bit but understood why he refused.

"Hey Rin?"

She looked back to Kagome, "Yes?"

Quickly she retrieved something from her bag, handing it to the young girl.

"These are for you, Sesshomaru and Jaken. So even if they don't come with us tomorrow they won't be forgotten."

Rin held the tiny circles carefully. They were some sort of beaded large rings. One was a brilliant pink, the second a blue, and the third a lovely green shade. Each had a tint hint of white marbled in.

"They're so pretty. May I have mine now?"

"Of course. That's your gift from me."

Kagome slid the pink one from her hands and placed it over her wrist, a nice fit.

"Oh it's so…" She giggled at the new accessory.

"It's a wishing bracelet. Now that it's on you must make a wish. When the bracelet finally breaks that means your wish will come true."

"Really? Okay I'll make a good one!" She promised.

Kagome nodded before running off to her second destination. The ancient well where she would return home for Christmas Eve then come back for her celebration party with friends.

Rin waved until she was out of sight. A sad smile on her lips. The slight depression of her lord being so bitter and the thought of being left alone by him.

Her waving stopped as she cupped her warm hands over the remaining two bracelets. Her mind loosing concentration as it drifted along with the snowfall. Wishes and miracles pouring into her mind. But only one could be chosen. Just one.

She sighed a last time before thinking of what to wish for. A simple perhaps unrelated thought ran by after her lucky wish was made.

Lord Sesshomaru.

Well as you can see it's yet another Sesshomaru X Rin story. It may have some more couplings but nothing for sure yet.

Hope you liked chapter one.
