Mischief Managed

Pairing: Kagome/Jack Frost

Summary: Winter has always been Kagome's favorite time of year..the chill in the air and the purity of the freshly fallen snow... While out on a walk with her brother she is hit in the back of the head by a snowball. Her brother joins the fray eagerly yet she is merely stunned by the white hair, pale skin and bright blue eyes glinting with mischief . Staring right at her...


Her breath came out in viable puffs. The chill in the air stung at skin but it felt refreshing. Her cheeks were warm and flushed. Her ears were numb even though she had on a light blue hat and a matching scarf over a dark blue down feathered coat.

On her tiny feet were black boots and her shapely legs were wrapped in a thick pair of fleece black leggings. Her jet black hair fell to her lower back, the ends curling up naturally. A smile was curved on her pink plump lips as she casually walked after her brother.

It was a lazy day, and it was odd to her, no longer did she have to worry about her life every waking second of the day. No, her adventures were over with and left in the fairy tale section of books. Yes, she had started to write about her adventures, to pay homage to those she had met and to let their stories be known.

She kept them alive through her words, and they kept her clothed and fed. Kind of like the old times, in a way.

"Kagome! Hurry up!" She laughed as she shook her head and pushed her mellocalny thoughts to the back of her mind. Ahed of her was her brother, now a tenager but always her little brat of a brother, was eager to go to the movies. To see Wreck it Ralph, a Disney movie of all things.

Then again it was about gaming so it was still 'cool', she was just happy to get out of the house. She lived in a tiny little apartment, now nineteen years old and living on her own.

She was doing very well for dropping out of school if she did say so herself. With a grin she started to lightly jog towards him yet paused as something hit the back of her head with a wet slap.

Her mouth hung open as she felt the cold snow slide down the back of her coat and shirt.

She was stuck on stupid.

Souta cracked up laughing at her, pointing at her and holding his stomach.

Until a snowball hit him in the face.

He quickly bent down to gather his own snow and it was on.

She laughed as she hid behind a tree to try and catch her breath, everyone who had been nearby had been dragged into the snow ball fight!

Kids, siblings and even parents!

She laughed as she slid down the tree trunk and tried to catch her breath. She felt overheated and giddy and it felt great. The last time she had laughed this hard was hard to recall. All she knew was that it was fun and nice.

She winced as she felt a stitch in her side, a welcome feeling.

"I'm too old for this." Okay she wasn't but she sure felt out of it. Maybe she would take up jogging again. Just to get in shape.

She blinked as she heard a light laugh, it sent shivers down her spine. She blinked looking around for the owner of such a carefree and mischievous laugh.

She blinked as she caught sight of him, a teenager, a few years older the Souta and a few years younger than her. He was dressed in dark brown pants and a blue hoodie. His eyes were crystal blue and his hair was stark white.

He was pale, so very pale. His cheeks were flushed red and he was bare foot...

He also had a wooden walking stick...he was so far from human that it wasn't even funny.

He seemed to sense her looking at her and met her gaze.

He stood there like a deer caught in the headlights and hopped into the air and floated there.

Her eyes followed his movement.

His mouth hung open.

"You can see me?!" She merely nodded.

"Yup." She popped the 'P' smiling as he zoomed over to her and landed on the snow next to her. Looking at her like she was a rare Pokemon card, if people still collected them, it was kind of cute.

She pulled herself up so she was leaning on the back of the tree, the snow ball fight still going on behind her. She smiled as he stared at her.

"How?" She chuckled lightly, not at all ready to spill her story to some strange non human male. No matter how cute he was. With a wicked grin she ducked out from behind the tree and tossed a snowball at his face.

"I just can!" She laughed as she joined the fray again and teamed up with her brother.

Jack grinned as the snow fell from his face and dripped onto the ground. Never had he met anyone like her, let alone anyone who could see him and was human. Only other immortals could see him unless he wanted to be seen.

He had a human form for that and he was most certainly not in it when she had spotted him.

So what was she?

He couldn't help the grin that took over his face as he heard her bell like laugh and allowed his human form to take over. Stark white hair became dark brown, pale skin became tanned, and his clothes darkened as shoes appeared on his feet and his staff disappeared.

With a giddy laugh he gathered some snow in his palm and joined the fray.

He would get to the bottom of this sooner or later, but for now...he had a snow ball fight to win.
