The next morning...

Inuyasha bounced up from his spot and ran over to the tree, which was weighed down top to bottom with packages. (hey, Kagome's got a LOT of friends!) "Which one's MINE? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Kagome blinked and rubbed her eyes. "Inuyasha...its four in the morning....go back to sleep!"

Something moved in the corner. whack! Holding up a defeated Shippo, Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "So, couldn't wait, fox?" Shippo whimpered. "Kaaagoooome!!! Make him put me down!" Kagome grinned mischeviously. "SIT!"

Sango yawned and sat up, hearing a loud whump! downstairs. Her eyes traveled to Miroku, who had his arm...well....elsewhere...

CRASSSHHHHH! "WAAAH!" squealed Shippo, diving away just in time as Miroku fell through the ceiling. Sango jumped after him, looking particularily proud of herself. "Again?" yawned Kagome. A loud ripping noise alerted all of them, forcing the goup to stare at a spot beneath the tree.

"PINK FUZZY EARMUFFS!?" Inuyasha shrieked, holding up a pair and looking about to cry. "How could you!?" Shippo giggled loudly, putting a tiny fox sized pair on. "Everyone got them!"

Inuyasha sniffled. "But why pink?" Everyone gave him a look, telling him to shut up and enjoy the gift. Here's how it goes...

{The scene: A hanyou, two teenage girls, a kitsune cub, a monk, and two cats all sit together on this Christmas scene. The hanyou (Inuyasha) is whimpering pathetically about getting pink earmuffs for Christmas. One of the teenage girls (Kagome), has a "sit" expression on her face. The other girl (Sango) is trying to calm her down. The monk (Miroku) is lying in a crater with dust and plaster all over his head. The kitsune (Shippo) is watching the scene from Kagome's shoulder. Both cats are eating Friskies.}

Inuyasha: (still sobbing) WHY PINK!!!??

Kagome: Grrr......I PICKED THOSE OUT SPECIAL FOR YOU! CAN'T YOU GIVE AT LEAST A LITTLE APPRECIATION!?

Sango: *patting her arm* Calm down Kagome!! He didn't mean it!

Inuyasha: *cowering* But...why pink? WHY!?

Shippo: *eagerly tears into a package, not even getting in trouble* WOW! A biology book! Wait..whats that?

Buyo: Meow.

Kirara: n_n Purr.

Kagome: I WORKED HOURS ON END, SHOVELING SNOW FOR THOSE, AND YOU COMPLAIN THAT THEY'RE PINK!? YOU ARE SUCH AN INSENSITIVE JERK! SIT!

Inuyasha: WHAM! @.@

Miroku: ^_____^

Sango: *glares at Miroku*

Miroku: *whistles and looks away*

Kagome: SERVES YOU RIGHT!

Shippo: Wheeee! *rides down the stairs on the book, crashing into Kirara and Buyo.

A couple seconds later..

Shippo: HELP MEEE!

To be continued on Christmas Day..
