December 25
I woke up early this morning super excited that it was Christmas. I always felt like a child on Christmas morning. In my era, I'd wake up really early with Sota and we would run downstairs to open presents with my mom and grandpa. This time I got to wake Inuyasha up.
"Inuyasha," I said, shaking him. "Inuyasha, wake up."
"Hmm?" he said sleepily. "Why do I have to wake up?"
"It's Christmas, honey."
He rolled over onto his other side. "We can have Christmas later."
"Sweetheart, you have to wake up," I said as I shook him again. "We have to open presents."
Inuyasha sat up and yawned. I guess he decided that I wasn't going to let this go. "Alright, I'm up. Let's go."
We went into the living room where we had put our gifts under the tree last night.
"You open yours first," I said to him. I was so impatient for him to see it. I was dying to know what he would think.
He picked up his gift and started to unwrap it. When he pulled out the navy blue scarf he gasped. "Wow...you made this?"
"Mm-hmm."
He ran his fingers across the fabric. "It's so soft." Then he pulled me into his arms and kissed me over and over. I giggled as he kissed me glad that he liked it. "Thank you, sweetheart."
"I'm glad you like it."
"I love it." He wrapped the scarf around his neck. "You did a great job with this. I didn't know you could knit."
"I didn't either until I made this."
He laughed a bit then kissed me again. "I'll keep it forever. Now it's your turn."
I picked up my gift which was small and wrapped in a way that was very...creative.
"I really hope you like it, Kagome." He sounded kind of nervous.
I put my hand on his. "I would like anything you gave me, Yasha." I unwrapped the gift and in it was a small box. When I opened it I was amazed. Inside was a silver bracelet with a heart charm on it. "Inuyasha...this is beautiful."
"I wanted to get you something special to show you how important you are to me."
My eyes stung with tears. I threw my arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, Kagome."
I put the bracelet on and admired it. It was so stunning.
"I hope this was a good Christmas for you," he said. "I know it's not the same as in your era…"
I placed a kiss on his lips to stop him. "It's perfect. I really appreciate you doing this for me."
"We'll do it every year."
