Christmas



~Kagome's POV~

Kurama and I have been looking for things on Nicolas Flamel We didn't have any luck,

until the day before Christmas vacation. It said he was the owner of a sorcerous stone. We didn't

tell Harry and the others, which will only bring them into danger also.

Now I'm sitting in my dormitory all alone, almost everyone had went home for

Christmas. Might as well go find Kurama.

***

~Kurama's POV~

Harry, Ron, and I were sitting in our dormitory when the portrait opened, and Kagome

scrambled in. I smiled at her, and motioned for to sit with me and watch Harry and Ron play

wizard's chess. Not much later, Harry lost the game.

"Kagome, tomorrow is Christmas!" stated Harry happily. Kagome nodded her head, and

suggested we go play outside in the snow.

***

~Kagome's POV~

I woke up next morning to find presents stacked right next to my bed. I'll open them later,

first I need to find Kurama and the others. I arrived at the Gryffindor dormitory, to find them

sitting there, preparing to open their presents. "Kagome!" called Ron. "Got any presents?"

"Yeah." I replied.

"What did you get?" asked Harry.

"I didn't open them yet." I replied. Everyone gave me a look that said, are you crazy. I

raised my wand and stated. "Accio presents." Not long after, my presents zoomed into the room.

"Where did you learn that?" asked Ron, with wide eyes. "You don't learn that spell until

like third of fourth year."

"Open them." interrupted Kurama, before Ron bombarded me with questions.

"That's a lot of gifts." stated Harry, as the gifts are still piling up.

I opened the first one, it was from Mom, and it was three books of level four spells, and

lots of sweets. "Wow! Level four? Is your mom sure you can learn that?" asked Ron with an

awed tone.

"For others, probably no, but this is Kagome." stated Kurama, as he smiled at me.

Then I opened the one from Hermione, it was some really hard jinx spells. "Figures."

stated Harry. Then I opened the other presents, they were from all the boys. I got, more books,

enchanted items, stuffed animals, and many other stuff. The room was covered with my gifts, I

probably got over a hundred. Not that I mind, but the boys are really over doing it.

I stopped when I came to Harry's gift. "Quidditch?" I asked, as I smiled at Harry. I

opened Ron's present, it was some posters of famous quidditch players. At that moment, Sango's

present went soaring into the room. It was white owl, with glittering silver feathers, and cute

beady red eyes.

"That bird freaks me out." stated Ron. "The eyes." Everyone nodded.

I almost freaked out, when I got a gift from Inuyasha and Draco. "Why did they send you

presents?" asked Harry.

I opened them, Inuyasha sent me a small live snake. "How cute." I cried, while the others

backed away. The snake quickly curled around my arm, and disappeared under my sleeve. Draco

had sent me a bunch of expensive make-up, which I threw out the window.

"This ones from Sesshoumaru." I stated, as I opened the box. It was a beautiful hair piece,

that I was sure it was made from some of the best material. I picked up the last present, and

brightened up, when it said it was from Kurama.

I opened the box, and inside was a beautiful rose charm necklace. It might appear to look

like an ordinary necklace, but I can feel a powerful energy emitting of it. Kurama knelt down

beside me, and helped me put it on. Then he handed me a bouquet of the best red roses.

"Seems you two got really close." stated Ron.

***

~Kurama's POV~

The necklace I gave Kagome was made from a special Makai plant. It will ward of most

of the dangerous plants. Kagome watched us, as we opened our presents. Harry got a toothpick

from the Dursleys, which he threw out the window to join Malfoy's gift. Kagome got me, to my

surprise, some of the rarest seeds.

"Where did you get these?" I asked, surprised.

"My animal friends collected them for me around the world." replied Kagome, we were

all surprised at her responses. Harry and Ron shrugged it off, thinking Kagome was joking

around. But I can tell from her eyes that she was telling the truth. I specilize in plants, while she

with all animals or beasts.

***

It was three nights later, when Harry told Ron, Kagome, and I to follow him to meet his

parents. We entered a room, that had a mirror. "Look in the mirror." stated Harry happily. "Do

you see my parents?"

"No." replied Ron. "I see myself holding the quidditch cup, and I'm head boy."

Harry looked shocked, then turned to us. "What do you see, Kurama?" asked Harry. I

looked into the mirror and blushed. I saw myself in my demon form, holding Kagome, while she

carried a small child. That looked oddly like a mix between my demon self and Kagome.

"I see me and Kagome living together, and holding a small child." I stated, leaving the

part about my demon half out.

"What about you?" Harry asked Kagome.

"I." stated Kagome, as she turned a bright shade of red. "See Kurama and I living in a

peaceful place, with lots of children."

"What?" asked Harry.

"The mirror of erised shows the beholder what they desire the most." came the voice of

Dumbledore, as he stepped in. "In your case it is your family. While Ron wants to prove himself

in his family. While, oddly enough, Kurama and Kagome wish the same thing. Seems they both

want to be together and start a family."

"The mirror shows what you desire, not what will happen. But I have a feeling what

Kurama and Kagome desire just might come true." When he said that, Kagome and I both

blushed furiously. "Please do not come back here, because this mirror will be moved to a new

home soon."

"The happiest man, and women, when they look into the mirror will see themselves as

they are." With that, we were ushered out, Kagome looked at me and smiled.

***

~Kagome's POV~

"Kurama." called Kagome softly when there was no one around. "Is that what you really

saw in the mirror?"

"Yes, but I also saw myself as a demon." Kurama stated. "I need to tell you a secret, but I

was scared to tell you. I was afraid you might not want to be around me anymore." I motioned for

Kurama to take a seat as he told me his secret.

"I am not a human." I stated. Kagome gave no reaction, so I continued. "I was a spirit fox,

known as Youko Kurama. I stole all the treasures I desired, and was ruthless. I killed thousands

upon thousands of life. One day while I was stealing, a hunter wounded me deeply. I was going

to die."

"I didn't want to, so I possessed the body of Shuichi Minamino before he was even born.

I was planing on returning to Makai last year, but I had grown attached to my human mother.

Now, I have no plan on returning, because of you."

~Kurama's POV~

I had told Kagome my worst secret, and waited for her to run away, or scream. She did

neither, as she smiled at me. Then to my surprise, she latched herself onto me. "That's so cool."

cried Kagome. "Where you really a fox?"

"Yes." I replied, feeling a burden being lifted from me.

"I wish I can see your demon form!" stated Kagome happily. "I'm so happy you told me,

and why would you think I wouldn't want to be around you anymore?"

"Because I am a demon." I stated.

"Well, I like you, and no matter what you are, I still like you." replied Kagome. "I heard

spirit foxes are really rare, and they can control all plants. That's why the charm you gave me had

such a powerful aura."

"You felt it?" I asked, surprised.

"Yeah, and I can see it too." stated Kagome, as I tightened my hold on her.

"Do you really want to spend your life with me? A fox demon gone human?" I asked.

Kagome nodded, and closed her eyes.

"Can you still manipulate plants?" Kagome asked, bringing a smile to my face.

"Yes, but not that well. I'm so much weaker in the human body. I grow stronger with

each year, but I'll never be as strong as I use to be. I always thought being in this human body

and world was horrible, but now I take all that back."

"I'll keep your secret." stated Kagome, as the snake around Kagome's arm slithered onto

me. "It likes you." I smiled, and extended my arm, so the snake could wrap around me. "He's

yours now."
