Light of The Sohmas'

Special Cure: . . .Xmas isn't always Fun . . .


Kagome walked along the trail holding a small gift-wrapped box. She wasn't so sure if she should give it to him or just leave it out. Her father is in there, should she go in along. She looked down at the gift, and looked at the invitation. Kyo and Tohru doesn't get come, she wonders if she should go back and jon them. Shaking her head, she had already made her choice to leave the two alone. Tohru and Kyo loves each other, right? 'No, he said he used to love her Damn it! I have to go back.'

Before she knew it, she reached the Sohma's main house. Slowly and shakily, her hands went up towards the wooden door. Gulping, she could feel herself shaking. Suddenly, the door open. "Hatsuharu?"

"Kagome?" He looked at her surprised. Her eyes furrowed as she held the gift, "Who's this for?"

She grumbled the name out. "What was that?" Hatsuharu leaned his ear towards her. Kagome grumbled the name out again. He turned his head to look at her, "I have no clue what you are saying there Kagome-chan."

"It's Akito's gift!" He jumped at her loud voice.

Hatsuharu smiled nervously as she pushed her way in. Kagome had given all the Sohma's a gift by hand, but it seems on Christmas eve, she would actually give Akito something. 'You don't have to Kagome, he got plenty already . . .' He shook his head as he proceeded outside. Hatori told him to get a piece of cloth that is tied around a tree somewhere.


Her eyes scanned through the kimono-wearing people. In her opininion, kimonos are very uncomfortable. 'And it's the middle of winter too.' She shivered thinking if she wore one, she'll be frozen to death.

"Kagome-chan!" Her head zipped up to the familiar voice. Her dad came running towards her with a white and black, seven layered kimono. When he stopped in front of her, she had to tilt her head up to see his face. "I was wondering when you'll come." He smiled at her.

Utsuri began to lead her daughter towards the huge Christmas tree. When they reached it, Kagome couldn't take her eyes off of the tree. It was bright and beautifully decorated. "Amazing . . ." She whispered. Looking up, she saw the brightly glowing Christmas star. "It's almost like Tokyo's christmas tree."

"Is it?" She nodded her head unconsciously.

"Yeah, it's, I think it's as big as-Wait a minute!" She turned around and her eyes widen, "Aki-Ayiko?" She blushed furiously getting caught off guard. He was wearing a warm brown fur jacket on a black turtle-neck shirt, comfortable black slacks, black boots, and black beanie. Coughing, she look down and shook her head in a vigorous manner. Looking back up, she gave him a false glare. "Didn't see ya there."

He smiled at her, "You seem to be enjoying yourself." He looked down towards her hands, "Ah, and who's this for?" He took the small box from her.

"Hey!" When she was ready to snatch it back, he lift it up over his head.

"It's for me." He smiled at the box then shook it against his ear, "What is it?"

Kagome stuffed her hands in her pocket as she turned from him. "Find out for yourself, I'm going back to Shigure-san's house." When she took a step on the snow, Akito grabbed her arm making her tilt her head towards him, "Need anything else?" She asked with a tint of annoyance.

Akito smiled slightly and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Could you say my name? Correctly?" He asked her slightly, yet embarrassed as he felt his cheek heating up, fairly quickly.

Kagome turned towards him, "Akito." He smiled at her and nodded. Her eyebrows creased slightly down on her eyes as he grinned. "That is all I want for Christmas."

Kagome could feel her stomach churn. She was feeling guilty again and she knew it. When he turned around, Kagome stopped him by grabbing on to his wrist. Her face was downcast when he turned to her with questioning eyes. "I'm . . ." She gulped. "I'm sorry for treating you the way I do."

She closed her eyes and held her chin up high. It was as if she was showing determination. "I know you didn't choose to be my . . ." she grumbled, "Fiance." she adjusted herself as she fully face him. Her eyes set in a fierce stare looking in his. "And I've been acting like a jerk to you, which is suppose to be Inu Yasha and Kouga's department, so," she paused as she reached her hand towards him. "Let's start over." she smiled fully at him.

Akito eyes widen slightly as he saw her smile. It was that once sincere smile she gave him at the window that made him fall for her this way. Getting his senses back, he hastily placed his hand in hers. They shook and he smiled towards her. "Let's be friends." He said.

"Hello. My name is Kagome Higurashi, what's yours?." She took her hand away and bowed traditionally.

Akito chuckled lightly as he bowed, "Hello. My name is Akito Sohma, it's a pleasure to meet you."

There was a pleasant smile on each of their faces. Suddenly, the two laughed for some unknown reason, "Well, Akito-kun, hope to see you soon."

"Yeah," he nodded in response. Suddenly, a cough came from his lips, as it became harder for him to breath.

"Akito?" He shook his head trying to say he's alright. Kagome furrowed her eyesborws. Suddenly, she took hold of his head and placed them on her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around his waist. Closing her eyes, she could feel her energy flowing into him.

Akito closed his eyes as he held her arm. His tense shoulder dropped easily getting relaxed. Kagome's blue enegry engulfed his body in a somewhat light glow. Everyone that was around them watched in amazement as Kagome and Akito's light mixed in with the Christmas light.

Hatori, Shigure, Ayami, and Utsuri pushed through the crowd to see what happen. Their eeys popped open when they saw Kagome and Akito. Suddenoy, it furrowed they realize the light that surrpunded them. "Kagome . . .She's healing him." Whispered Utsutri.

"Healing?" Ayami looked at Hatori, then to Shigure, then back at Utsuri. His eyes landed on Kagome and Akito, "Who is she?"

When the light disappeared around Akito and Kagome, Akito sighed and step back away from her. He looked at her, "Thank's Kagome . . .chan."

Her smile was faint as she fell in is arms. Kagome could hear people shouting her name. She could feel herself sweating and panting hard. She was tired, too tired. 'Why does this always happen to me? Everytime . . .' She closed her eyes as she feel herself being carried.

"Kagome, don't worry, you'll be alright." Said Utsuri as he carried her. His eyes glared at the people who just gawked at them, "Would you stop staring and open the door!" He yelled, "Or do you want me to bust it open instead?" He shouted angrily as they hurriedly bustle themselves to slide open the shoji door.

'Alright . . .I just need a little,' Kagome sighed, 'Nap.'


"What! My daughter's been in the hospital three times already?!" He screamed in Hatori's face. "Why the hell didn't anyone tell me!" He wasn't as calm as he was before.

Hatori shook his head, "We're sorry, but if you knew, your going to bring her back to Tokyo." He furrowed his eyebrow as he saw the rage in Utsuri's eyes. It was strange for him to be so angered. In short, Utsuri is one that doesn't get angered that quickly.

"I can't believe no one told me!"

Shigure stepped in and pushed his friend's shoulder down, "Please, we didn't mean to keep it a secret, so listen . . ." He paused, "We're sorry, I suppose that this is all my fault for not telling you sooner." He lips turning into a frown, "And I thought that," he paused, "That Kagome-san had told you."

Utsuri seemed to calm a bit as he dropped down to his knees and sat next to Kagome. She was panting harder than before with a cloth over her head. Her hair sprawled on the pillow of the futon. Akito was on her other side. "Last time she fainted too, but she wasn't like this before."

"She did this . . .before?" Utsuri stared up at Akito as the boy nodded.

Kagome coughed a bit in her sleep as they stared at her. Her eyes groggily opened, "Sesshoumaru-senpai . . ." Her whisper became rasped. Everyone, but Utsuri, didn't know who that was so they were confused to who she's calling out, "I'm sorry for being so weak."

Utsuri sighed, "He doesn't think your weak Kagome."

She turned towards her dad's voice, "But I am, I can't even control my powers yet." She sat up slowly. The kimono hugged her body as she stared at Utsuri, "I can't keep sleeping." She closed her eyes.

Everyone in the room had to shield their eyes as a light surrounded the room. It came from Kagome. Once it died down, Kagome was standing up with the clothes she had on before she came here. She put her gloves on, "I'm hate being weak." She whispered.

Their eyes widen. She somehow became healed. "I take the name of a Higurashi, and none are suppose to vulnerable." She shook her head as she walked passed Akito towards the door.

Hatori stopped her. "Are you sure you should be standing?" He asked her.

She glared at him. "I can manage." She slid open the shoji door, but once she was outside, she slid them back closed. Suddenly, she hit her back on the wall. As she tried to stand, she succeeded, but coughed. 'Why does my head feel so empty?' She shook her head, 'I guess this Christmas isn't so pleasant.' She thought as she staggered out of the Sohma's main house.


Akito sat on the porch with the gift that Kagom had gave him. It was a small snowman. He looked down towars it. 'Kagome . . .Her energy was incredible.'

He shook his head. Looking up at the sky, he stared at the starless night.

"And who says I'll follow my ancestor's decision?"

"If you don't follow, then we will make you."

He smiled slightly as he remembered her words.

"Just remember this, you and I are enemies."

A laugh escaped his lips when he recalled of them "starting over" today.

"Let's start over."

His eyebrow furrowed when he remembered her whispering the name Sesshoumaru. 'Who's this Sesshoumaru?'


It's a short christmas episode, but I know, it's lame cause I had somewhat of a writer's block. And the next chapter of Light Of the Sohma isn't this one, and I apologize for that as well. There will be NO Christmas special for "My Only Tenshi." No Christmas special, it's just going to skip over to winter festival, not Christmas, oops, I jus gave a small spoiler.

This episode is mostly pointing to Akito's point of view. He's deeply in love with Kagome. And he's not really the antagonist, remember this.
