Hey everybody, sorry for the long wait, but been so busy with school starting back up and midterms coming up, I hate studying- that's why I'm typing this and not doing homework ( hehehe). Plus I have to update for all the reviewers I have though it may be small a amount ( hehehe). Now onto the story:
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha (and I never will).
Chapter 7: Christmas Wishes Answered
The sun slowly began to shine through Souta and Shippo's bedroom causing both of them to stir.
"What time is it?" asked Shippo, while slowly sitting up and wiping the sleep from his eyes.
"I don't know," said Souta as he too sat up in his bed and stretching letting out a big yawn. The two young boys had been sitting quietly in their beds still half asleep when they realized what day it was.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" yelled Shippo and Souta to each other as they ripped their covers off their beds and slipped on their slippers. They ran out of Souta's room and ran into Kagome's room, where they proceeded to jump onto her bed waking her up with a start.
"Come on Kagome! Get up, it's Christmas!" yelled Souta, as he grabbed the pillow from under her head and began to playfully hit her with it.
"Please Kagome, I wanna see if Santa Clause came!" said Shippo as he crawled up to Kagome's face and put on the cutest puppy-dog eye look ever. Kagome just couldn't say no to a face like that.
"Alright I'm up. Come on Sango you get up too," said Kagome as she threw her pillow at the sleeping form next to her.
"Huh? I'm up," said Sango as she slowly got out of bed.
"Souta, Shippo go wake mom and me and Sango will go wake Inuyasha and Miroku," said Kagome as her and Sango put on their slippers.
"Ok sis. Come on Shippo," yelled Souta as he sprinted out of Kagome's room with Shippo hurrying after him.
"Let's go Sango," Kagome and Sango walked out of Kagome's room and down the hallway to the boys' room. "I have an idea Sango- let's scream merry Christmas at them at the same time to wake them up."
"Sounds like fun!" said Sango as she contained a giggle.
"Ready on three, 1…2…3," as soon as Kagome said three they burst open the door and screamed "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" at the top of their lungs. The sudden outburst cause both Miroku and Inuyasha to fall from their beds and onto the floor.
"What's going on!" said Miroku as he blinked repeatedly trying to get the sleep from his eyes.
"Kagome, what the hell are you doing!" asked Inuyasha, who was very anger for having been scared and knocked out of bed.
"Don't be like that, it's Christmas get up and we'll go downstairs," said Kagome as she turned and ran down the hallway with Sango following closely behind her both giggling uncontrollably.
"Coming," said Inuyasha. "Come on monk."
"Wait, I need to ask you something. Did you get Kagome something else to give her in the morning? Cause Mrs. H told me I should do that, so they don't get suspicious."
"Yeah, I did. What of it?"
"N-nothing. Just wondering what you got her."
"Oh, um, I got her this jewelry thing. It's a necklace with a heart locket, and it even has a bracelet that has a heart to. It's silver."
"Oh good, I got her basically the same thing 'cept it's a star instead of a heart. And it's gold."
"Good. Now let's go they're probably waitin'"
They walked down the hallway to find Sango and Kagome waiting by the top of the stairs.
"Where's you brother and the runt?" asked Inuyasha.
"INUYASHA! It's Christmas, be nice!" Said Kagome.
"Feh. Whatever."
Then Souta and Shippo came running down the hall with a tired looking Mrs. H as Kagome's grandpa slept walked down the hall.
"Can we go down now, can we?" asked Souta as he and Shippo jumped up and down.
"Go ahead," said Mrs. H as she smiled at the two young boys.
"YEAH!" they both yelled as they ran down the stairs.
"Good morning everyone," said Mrs. H as she smiled at everyone. "Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas," they all replied to both Mrs. H and Kagome's grandpa.
"Let's go down before they tear the whole place up," said Mrs. H as she walked down the stairs closely followed by everyone else.
By the time they had gotten down their Shippo and Souta were in heaven. Underneath the tree was littered with gifts for both of them. Souta had gotten multiple videogames and sports equipment. He even got the new PSP and was currently entranced by it's graphics. Shippo on the other hand had gotten many different toys- balls, coloring books, pocky, etc. He went around the tree and brought everything Santa had left him to Kagome's chair to show her what he got.
"Look Kagome, what's that?" asked Shippo pointing to a small box with the picture of a handheld game boy advance SP.
"Come here and I'll show you," said Kagome patting her knee telling Shippo to hop up there. She was so into explaining how to work that she didn't notice that Inuyasha was watching her. He was watching her patience as she explained the toy to the young child. 'She's so beautiful. She really would make I great mother. I really hope- oh crap she's looking up,' thought Inuyasha as Kagome lifted her head and gave him a loving smile sending jolts of excitement through Inuyasha body. 'She's really pretty when she smiles. Wait- I'd gotta regain composure or she might suspect.'
"Let's open our present now," declared Kagome as she ran behind the tree to get the gifts she purchased.
She handed her grandfather his present which was a new priest robe.
"Thank you Kagome," said Kagome's Grandfather.
"Your welcome. Here Mom this is for you," Kagome handed her mother a package.
"Thanks so much," Mrs. H said as she looked at the nice skirt and shirt that her daughter had gotten her, while trying to play with the new digital camera she also got.
"Your welcome, here Sango," she handed her a colorful wrapped package. It was a nice red dress that she could wear in Kagome's time- since she was sure they would come back. She also gave her tons of bath supplies.
"Thanks so much, I love it, we'll have to try it out when we get back to the feudal era," said Sango as she sniffed the soap she had just gotten.
"Here Miroku this is for you," said Kagome, she also gave him some futuristic clothes, but she also found monk robes for him.
"I'm grateful thanks Kagome," said Miroku.
"And Inuyasha I got you something real nice," said Kagome as she walked over to him carrying a small box. "Here." Kagome gave him another nerve-racking smile that he loved so much.
"Uh… thanks," said Inuyasha he opened the box, it was a necklace that was identical to the one he wore around his neck expect one stone was larger than all the others that read: 'I'll always be there for you, Kagome'
"Thanks, but I already have one," said Inuyasha a little confused as to how he was expected to wear it.
"That's the second part of your gift," said Kagome as she lifted the beads of subjugation over his head. "You're free, Merry Christmas." Kagome smiled at Inuyasha, who was in complete shock.
"Kagome… thanks lots," said Inuyasha unable to find the right words to find his words. So he just put on the necklace Kagome's necklace she had given him.
"Well… I'm done who wants to go next?" asked Kagome.
"I will," said Sango getting her gifts from behind the tree. She had given Mrs. H and Kagome's grandfather chocolates. She gave Kagome a skirt and a shirt and a diary. She gave Inuyasha poison powder, so that he could use it when he needed to kill demons (A/N: yeah I know terrible sentence and explanation, anyway…). Then she walked over to Miroku and handed him a small box to.
He opened it and found a small ring for his staff (A/N: His fighting staff people- get your mind out of the gutter). The ring was slightly bigger than the others since it was engraved with: 'I'll always be there to help you, Sango'.
"Thanks so much," said Miroku as he jumped up and hugged her, making Sango blush. She was expecting that he would do something perverted, but he didn't and said back down.
"Uh… your welcome," said Sango still blushing.
Miroku and Inuyasha were thoroughly bored with waiting and decided to go at he same time. Miroku gave Mrs. H flowers and a candy cane and gave Kagome's grandpa some sutras that he had, which made him completely excited. Inuyasha gave Mrs. H a new toaster (cause Kagome mentioned she needed one) and a box of candy. He gave Kagome's grandpa a mummified demon, which was authentic from the feudal era.
Then Miroku walked up to Sango and handed her a box.
"Thank you," Sango removed the bow and paper that Miroku wrapped himself. She opened the box and found a golden necklace and bracelet. "Oh Miroku, it's beautiful." Said Sango as she took the necklace out.
"Here, let me," said Miroku moving her hair in the front and gently putting on the necklace. "It really does suit you."
"Thanks, Miroku," said Sango as she smiled at him, making him blush now.
"That's so cute Miroku," said Kagome. Then Inuyasha turned to Kagome a little ashamed of his gift- since her wrapped it himself and didn't look nearly as perfect Miroku.
"Uh… here Kagome, sorry," said Inuyasha he gave her a badly wrapped gift. (A/N: it's not his fault he couldn't figure out the tape, ).
"Why are you sorry? I love the fact that you tried to wrap the gift yourself," said Kagome once again smiling at him. She opened her gift and opened the box and gasped at what she saw, she loved the necklace and bracelet and wanted to put it on too. Inuyasha of course wanted to help her and gently pushed her hair forward and put the necklace on gently touching the back of her neck.
"Thanks so much," she looked up at him smiling again making him melt again on the inside.
"Uh… no problem," said Inuyasha
When everyone was finished Mrs. H announced that her gift for the children would have to come later tonight. Miroku and Inuyasha knew what was happening tonight and wanted to know what Mrs. H was planning. But they would have to wait. Everyone went in to have Christmas Dinner. Miroku and Inuyasha were feeling pretty good right now, considering the first part of the gifts the girls had loved. They were wondering how they would react to what else they had planned for them.
I AM SO EVIL! I know next time will be the girls' reactions to Inuyasha's and Miroku's gifts and Mrs. H gift is revealed (finally hehehe). Thanks for your reviews:
lil'nay: I got the feudal combat game too and I love it. The ending song of Inu movie 3 rules too.
Inuyasha-killed-Kagome-with-a-spork: Your review was awesome! That's the kind of advice I need- no seriously that ruled!
Thanks to all those who reviewed and please review again.
