Disclaimer: Look, I don't own Inuyasha, if I did. That unmistakable sexual tension between Sesshoumaru and Kagome? It would have been acted upon. And it hasn't, so odviously, it still belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. oh yah, and on a side note, i'm not making a profit off of this.

Note: Alright. Slightly Psychotic, formerly known as ItsyBitsySpider, is my beta.

Jingle All the Way

Kagome had decided to take him through some of the old trails around the shrine for his walk, and even though there was a heavy layer of snow on the ground, her Prince was having the time of his life. He bounded through snow banks and sniffing everything along their path.

Kagome on the other hand, was fascinated by the beauty of it all. The white snow on black bark. His strong, streamlined form plowing though the piles of slush while not disturbing a thing. Frankly, she couldn't tell where his fur ended and the snow began.

It was eerie, like he was a ghost of some sort. Even his bark sounded distant in the snow.

Slowly, almost hazy in the now falling snow, she watched his bright red leash fall to the ground without the slightest feeling and he was gone from her sight, as if he was never attached to it at all. Invisible in the whiteness that surrounded them.

All she could hear was laughter and his bell jingling all the way.
