Note: KittyBlue attacked me with plunnies, thus, this story was born. You could say that it is a part of me and a part of her (a collaboration, if you will) because while I'm writing it, most ideas do come from her. As well as the short little note at the beginning – that's alllllllllllll Kitty.

Dear Santy Claws,

I'm Kagome! Hi! I know you get something from everyone every year, gotta be hard reading all those letters every year, but I has a very VERY special gift I want! I want the perfect boyfriend just for me! Yeah, like a prince! But I kinda want him cool and sweet and handsome, but still inturisting! Yeah! And smart!

Love always, Higurashi Kagome

One

Glancing up in surprise, Kagome wondered who could possibly want her so early in the morning. It could not possibly be her mother, or her brother—the little brat—since they had both visited the week before. So, if it was not them, and as her friends were entirely too lazy to wake up so early—

Kagome frowned deeply as the doorbell rang again and again insistently. "I'm coming," she whispered under her breath. Really? Really? It had to be Inuyasha, now that she thought about it. He had probably been kicked out by Kikyo, again, and wanted a place to stay until she cooled down.

So, twisting the doorknob, Kagome did not bother looking at who stood beyond the threshold. "Inuyasha, I told you last time you came over that I wasn't going to protect you from the wrath of my cousin anymore, so, please—!"

"I'm sorry—" Kagome glanced up in surprise at the woman's voice. Then, she blinked, as the woman, oddly dressed in a Santa suit—didn't she know it wasn't even close to Christmas?—glanced down at the clipboard in her hand. "—Higurashi Kagome, but I'm not this Inuyasha character that you're talking about."

"Who are you?" Kagome asked. It was a stupid question. It was. But, seriously, not only was the woman dressed out of season, but she also had bright blue hair and bubble gum colored eyes! The hair she could understand, due to dye, but those eyes were just serial!

"Oh!" The woman smiled brightly, saying, "I'm simply here to grant your Christmas wish! But, if you want, you can call me Botan!"

"Botan?"

"Mmhm," Botan nodded. "That's my name! But, that's not really important at the moment, Kagome-san. I'm here to give you this—" Kagome was thoroughly surprised she had not noticed the large bag sitting at Botan's feet, "—It takes a while to make one of these, y'know! Not an easy request, I have to say."

"This is—" Kagome paused. Was Botan some type of out of season postal worker? "—for me?"

"Oh, yes!" Botan smiled wider. "I had to spend a lot of time on it—do you know how hard it is to find such good qualities nowadays?—but it's finished now and all ready for you!"

"Um, okay…?" Did she really want to accept a gift from someone who not only showed up on her doorstep so early in the morning, in a Santa suit no less, but also seemed to have had at least six cups of coffee already?

"Oh, before I forget," Botan laughed, "his name is Kurama!"

The sentence did not register for a moment, as she stared down at the bright red bow tied neatly around the top of the sack, but, when it did, Kagome glanced up in shock. "Wait, what?" The woman was already skipping away. "Wait, what do you mean his name is Kurama?!"

Botan did not reply, bounding away with a jolly skip in her step.

"Wait!" Kagome called again.

The woman made no sign that she even heard her, as she seemingly vanished into thin air. Kagome sighed at the sight, shaking her head, before turning her attention to the sack lying innocently at her feet. "Well," she said, "I suppose it couldn't hurt… I mean, whatever's in here's not going to bite me—"

—hopefully.

Reaching out tentatively, Kagome pulled on the bright red bow that had caught her attention not long before. It gave easily under her strong tug, and she watched, fascinated, as the sack slowly slipped downward and away from the item that lay within.

"O-o-oh my god!" Kagome shrieked suddenly.

There, looking up at her with glittering emerald green eyes, was a man.
