"Inuyasha, it's almost Christmas! Want to come and celebrate it with me? My mom's making a turkey dinner and everything!" Kagome asked Inuyasha one day.

"Christmas? Ba, humbug!" Inuyasha huffed.

" 'Ba humbug'? Since when do you say that?" Kagome asked.

"Since now! I don't care about stupid Christmas!" Inuyasha growled, then stomped off.

As he walked through the town, two men with a box went up to him.

"Sir, could you please be so kind as to donate to charity? It's almost Christmas, and there are starving children!" One of the men asked.

"I ain't donating anything!" Inuayasha growled.

"But if you don't kindly donate, most of the children will die!" The second man added.

"Well, if they're going to die, they better do it and decrease the surplus population!" Inuyasha yelled, then once again stomped off, leaving behind two very dismayed gentlemen.

Meanwhile, as Kagome watched this from behind a building, she thought to herself, Wow, Inuyasha just used a big word! And does Feudal Japan even have charity…? She just shrugged and walked off.

"Miroku! Where the hell are you!? We have to go shard hunting!" Inuyasha said, looking for the monk.

"I'm right here Inuyasha. But it's Christmas Eve! I don't want to go hunting right now. I want to go home and celebrate it with my wife, Sango!"

"Fine, we'll go tomorrow!"

"I don't want to go tomorrow either! I don't care if you don't celebrate Christmas, I do and I want to spend it with my wife!" Miroku said with an annoyed look.

"FINE! We'll go the day after tomorrow! Do you have anything planned tomorrow?" Inuyasha asked, clearly irritated.

"Actually I-"

"Good we'll start earlier the day after Christmas!" Inuyasha said. Miroku just shrugged and went home as Inuyasha went for a tree to sleep in.

He scouted, then finally found a comfortable looking tree. He gazed at a knot in the tree, which slowly, before his eyes, transformed into Naraku, his old partner in crime!

"Um, we never did any crimes together, and we hated each other's guts. How can we be partners?" Inuyasha asked.

FINE!!!! THE KNOT IN THE TREE TRANSFORMED INTO NARAKU, INUYASHA'S OLD ENEMY!!! GOSH!!!

Inuyasha just gazed in horror. Then the Naraku-knot thingy open his mouth wide and cried, "INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"WTF!?" Inuyasha cried.

"To say Inuyasha wasn't surprised would be a lie," Gonzo said.

Hey! This is my job! whacks Gonzo with a baseball bat GET OFF THE STAGE!!!

"Uh…Gonzo? Want some jelly beans?" Rizzo asked.

I SAID SCRAM!!!

Rizzo grabs Gonzo and runs off the stage.

"Uh, hello? When are we going to get back to the story?" Inuyasha asked.

Whoops sorry! Inuyasha ignored the strange transformation though and climbed into the tree to sleep. As he lay restlessly, a strange feeling began to envelope him…And before he knew it, a ghost appeared to him! It was none other than Naraku!

"Uh…I thought you were dead, or something…" Inuyasha said.

"I am, you idiot…I was sent to tell you something…now what was it again?" The ghost-Naraku mused, rubbing his chin despite the chains that were holding him down.

"What's with the chains?" Inuyasha asked.

"Oh yeah! That's what I was supposed to tell you!"

"What, that you got new chains?"

"No. The leader-guy down there said that if you don't get a change of heart, you'll have the same fate as me," Naraku explained.

"Okay…so what's with the chains?"

"See these chains?" Naraku asked, gesturing to the chains.

"Uh, yeah, I've been asking about those at least three times!" Inuyasha groaned.

"Well, each evil deed you commit adds another link to your chain. Once you die, if you go 'down there', you have to wear your chain forever," Naraku replied.

"Okay, that kind of makes sense. But what doesn't make sense is the fact that your chain looks so small. I mean, that can't possibly be all of your chain!" Inuyasha said.

"Of course it isn't. My chain has it's own zip code. The rest is right here," Naraku said, pointing to a gigantic pile of chains in the corner.

"That's more like it. But…what's a zip code?" Inuyasha asked.

"That's not the point. Anyway, to make sure you'll have a change of heart, you'll be visited by three spirits, okay?"

"Um, not really. Look, I don't know what I ate, but you can't be real, okay?"

"Just expect the first ghost at 1:00 AM, whether you want to or not."

"Maybe I should borrow Kagome's watch because I can't really tell what time it is." Inuyasha pondered.

Naraku slapped his forehead and snapped, "It doesn't matter if you know what time it is! The spirit will come whether you know if it's 1:00 or not! YOU ARE SO DENSE!" And with that, Naraku disappeared.

"Whatever," Inuyasha growled, then he turned over and went to sleep.
