Sango, Ayame, and Rin watched Kagome run back and forth from her closet to her dresser. After watching her for several minutes Sango went to Kagome's closet and closed it with Kagome still in it.

"Hey! Sango, open the door!" Sango sighed.

"Kagome, you're acting like you're going on a date with Inuyasha, instead of a talk to him with on finalizing your divorce."

Sango went and sat on the bed. Kagome walked out of her closet and over to her dresser. It was finally Friday and she and Inuyasha were finally going to talk about finalizing the divorce. They were going to attend Izayoi's Christmas Bash and then go to Ina's Christmas Winter Wonderland Musical.

After that they were going to drop off Ina and Izayoi at Haya's house and then they were going to drop off Kosuke at Kohaku's. Once the kids were dropped off they were going to come back to the house and discuss the divorce.

Kagome looked at the clock on the wall. It was four thirty. Izayoi's Christmas Bash started at five fifteen. She was glad Kikyo wasn't going to go to either of the things.

Ina and Haya knocked on the bedroom door before walking in. Sango, Ayame, and Rin gasped.

"Oh, you two look so beautiful!" squealed Rin. Ayame and Sango nodded.

Haya wore a black and white Santa dress, her eye shadow was metallic white and her lips were a rogue color. She was going to be singing about naughty little kids and wanted a look to match. Ina wore a ruby red dress that stopped right before her knees. Her ears were gone and she had the top half of her hair up, embedded with fake gemstones and the bottom half was in curls cascading down her back. She wore white eye shadow and her lips were a very light pink.

Kagome's eyes started to water as she walked over to her daughter and pulled her into a tight embrace. "My beautiful little girl is all grown up now." Ina smiled back at her mother.

"Tonight's the night of the new moon, isn't it?" Ina nodded. Like their father, Ina, Kosuke, and Izayoi lost their demonic powers on the night of the new moon.

"Ack! Mom! Let go you're gonna ruin my hair!" Everyone in the room watched as Ayame gave Haya a big hug.

Haya was trying to get away, but Ayame was holding on tight. "Sit still and be a good little girl!" replied Ayame.

"I'm seventeen!" yelled Haya trying to get away.

"God, you made me feel so old, Haya." said Ayame finally letting go. Haya rolled her eyes.

"Mom, you're thirty-seven, the mother of four kids, and you have the body of a twenty year old. You don't even look old."

"Before I know it you, Taro, Rei, and Takai will be all grown up and married. Then I'll have cute little grandkids to spoil." Haya sighed.

"Mom, stop thinking too far ahead. I'm only seventeen."

"It's never too late to start planning your wedding sweetie. You and Kosuke will be the cutest couple of the year!" Haya turned cherry red at her mother's words.

"MOM!" she shouted as everyone else burst in laughter.

"Tsk, Tsk." Clucked Rin. "Don't be so sure, Ayame. I'm pretty sure Kohaku and Ina will give them a run for their money!" It was Ina's turn to turn cherry red.

Kagome looked at the two blushing girls. "C'mon, we're just messing with you. I guarantee you'll do this to your kids when you're older." She said.

Kagome grabbed her keys and started walking out of the bedroom. "Now, come on we got a musical to get you to."

-x-x-x-

Ina was quiet throughout most of the ride to her school. Tonight was the night that Kohaku was going to have to kiss Kaoru for their duet. She managed to avoid Kohaku, during rehearsals, which was easy considering that Tsutsumi-sensei keep having them practice until they got perfect.

"A penny for your thoughts?"

Ina looked at her mother. "I'm just nervous about performing."

"You sure? Or worried about Kaoru and Kohaku's kiss?"

"Both I guess. I just really wanted to sing that duet with him, just like you and dad did when you went to our school."

Kagome let out a short laugh. "You wanna know something, Ina? I didn't exactly get that duet with your father. Kikyo did."

Ina's eyes widen. "No way."

Kagome nodded. "I was mad at her for taking my duet and kissing your father, I wasn't speaking to your father at the time. But when it came time for their duet, nobody could find her. So Ayame and Sango pushed me onto the stage so I sang in her spot. "

"That's probably a reason she hates you now…"

"Well, Sango and Ayame were the ones who locked her in the closet, not me."

"But you sang her duet with dad." Ina grinned.

"I really hope you and dad decide to stay together."

"I hope so too." Kagome stopped the car in front of the school's entrance. "And I hope you and Kohaku make up soon, Sango and I are really hoping for those cute little grandkids or nieces or nephews." Ina turned red and said bye before slamming the door and running into the school.

-x-x-x-

"Mommy!" Kagome turned around just as Izayoi leaped into her arms. Her hair was a disaster.

Kagome glared at Inuyasha as he walked up to them. "Inuyasha! Why isn't her hair done?"

"She wouldn't let Kikyo do it and I'm hopeless with hair other than mine." He explained. Kagome rolled her eyes and set Izayoi down. In a matter of minutes, Izayoi's disaster of hair was pulled into two high neat ponytails.

"There, now go join your classmates for the Christmas Bash, ok?" Izayoi nodded and ran off leaving her parents to themselves. Kagome faced Inuyasha and pointed towards the preschool's auditorium.

"We should go find seats." She suggested. Inuyasha nodded and noticed that she was wearing a light red dress that he thought looked really good on her. They found seats near the front of the stage. Several minutes later they were joined by Sango, Miroku, Kouga, and Ayame.

"The twins are singing too?" asked Inuyasha. Miroku nodded and sat down next to him. Miroku made little noises to entertain Haru.

"Haru starting to look like you." said Inuyasha smiling at the one year old infant. Miroku nodded.

"Sango said that too, she just hopes Haru doesn't get my personality." Inuyasha laughed.

"I'm sure every mom hopes their son doesn't get your personality."

"So when this thing starting?" asked Miroku. Inuyasha shrugged. Suddenly the lights went out and the curtains parted. In the middle of the stage there was Izayoi and the Yamazaki twins, Sachiko and Sumiko.

Kagome and Sango squealed as their daughters recited 'The night before Christmas'. About a half hour later after all the preschoolers had sung and preformed, the teachers asked what they want the most for Christmas.

"I wanna a pony!" replied Sumiko when it was her turn.

"I want a little sister!" said Sachiko glaring at her parents. Miroku leaned over to Sango and said, "They're twins! Does it really matter?" Sango shrugged and took Haru from him. "Sumiko's older by five minutes."

Finally it was Izayoi's turn. She held on to the mike and in a loud voice said, "I want my mommy and daddy to be together forever." She handed the mike back to her sensei and gave her parents a sad smile. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other before turning away blushing.

'I wish we could be…' they thought.

-x-x-x-

Ina paced back and forth as the cast and crew waited for the auditorium to fill up. She had told Haya and Souta about what Kagome did and she wondered if it was a good idea after all.

Kohaku wandered backstage looking for Ina. He really wanted to talk to her, but he couldn't find her. He accidently bumped into someone but when he turned around to apologize she was already walking away. For a second he'd hope it was Ina, but Ina's hair was black with silver streaks, and the girl's hair was black.

Once Tsutsumi-sensei started yelling at them to get ready, he gave up, making a mental note to look for her later.

The first hour of the musical went great. Souta and Kohaku teased Kosuke as Haya danced around singing sending him winks from the stage. When Kaoru went to perform 'Santa Baby' the guys pretended to gagged.

Finally it was time for his duet with Kaoru. The stage was dark as he walked out; Kosuke aimed the spotlight at Kohaku as he walked out on the stage singing the first lyrics. The song was about two lovers whose only wish was to be together for Christmas. Kohaku sung the last lyric and waited for Kaoru to start from the other side, but when she didn't start he was about to walk off the stage, hoping to avoid singing and kissing her all together, when another voice started singing. Kohaku stopped and face the other side.

'That's not Kaoru's voice." He thought. Kosuke smiled at Kohaku's expression and directed another spotlight to the other side of the stage. Walking into the spotlight was the girl he had bumped into.

It was Ina. He mentally slapped himself, feeling stupid not knowing that tonight was the night of the full moon and she turned human.

She reached the end of her lyrics and walked to the middle of the stage, waiting for him. Kohaku smiled and once he reached the middle they both started singing, pretending that they were the only ones there. Souta looked into the audience and noticed a fuming Inuyasha being told to calm down by Kagome. He snickered and pointed it out to Kosuke, who laughed.

Once Kohaku and Ina reached the last note, he bent down and kissed her not caring who was watching them. After several seconds they pulled apart and turned to face the audience and bowed. The crowd cheered and the stage went dark again. Kohaku dragged Ina backstage and pulled her into another kiss.

Couple of seconds later, he pulled away and grinned at her. "You look amazing." Ina blushed and looked away. "Not too bad yourself." She replied. The beginning of her solo started playing and she gave Kohaku a quick peck on the lips before running on stage. She looked at her parents and started to sing. It was a song of joy and hurt, but how in the end everything would be ok, because the one you loved was always going to be there to help.

Inuyasha leaned over and whispered in Kagome's ear. "She sounds like you when you sang the solo." Kagome blushed and replied, "But she's all you, Inuyasha."

-x-x-x-

Once the musical ended, Inuyasha and Kagome dropped off the kids at their friends for a sleepover and headed back to what used to be their house.

Inuyasha sat down in the living love seat and accepted the cup of tea Kagome offered him. She sat opposite of him and took a sip of tea.

Both were afraid to speak knowing that after this discussion, they would either be together or go their own separate ways forever.
