Hey, everyone! I'm here with a Holiday Interlude to "Finding Happiness"!
This fic has been so much fun to write, and I really hope you enjoy it. And
I hope the story gets it's message across to each and every person who
reads it this holiday season, and in future holiday seasons, as well.
Now, everyone is pretty out-of-character in this fic, ESPECIALLY Naraku and Sesshoumaru, but you will see why. And besides, kindness is a good color on Sesshie. ^_^
And don't worry Kago/Sesshie fans: they are together in this fic. Now, would I really do that to you? Come, on. And Kikyou Haters: just this once, this holiday season, Don't Hate. Give Kikyou a chance. She's a good charater in this story.
"An InuYasha Christmas Carol" is dedicated to all of my fans *grin*, InuYasha lovers, and anyone who doesn't need a story to make them see the true meaning of Christmas, because they already do.
Now, show me some Holiday Love and Review. ^_^
And P.S. It helps if you've seen the movie "It's A Wonderful Life," starring Jimmy Stewart.

An InuYasha Christmas Carol
An Adaptation of Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol"

InuYasha sat at his desk, smiling at the amount of money he saw in his bank account on his computer screen. "That's more like it." he grumbled to himself.
He closed the screen when there was a knock at his door. "Yeah, come in," he answered in his usual gruff, grumpy voice.
He smirked at who he saw walk into his office.
"Ah. . . Sesshoumaru. Won't you have a seat. . . 'brother'?"
Sesshoumaru said nothing, and sat down in the chair across from InuYasha's desk. 'He looks a little nervous,' InuYasha mused.
"Let me guess," InuYasha said. "You want a raise, and Christmas Eve off. Forget it, bud."
Sesshoumaru almost glared, but kept his face impassive. When he spoke, his voice was nicely controlled. "I don't want a raise. . . just Christmas Eve off. To be with my wife and daughter. Why, InuYasha, is that so much to ask of you?"
InuYasha stared cruelly at his own brother. "You're ungrateful. I give you a job when no one else would. . . when you went," he said the next word with intentional cruelty, "bankrupt. And you expect me to be lenient, and give you this and that day off. Well, let me tell you something, brother. When I say you work Christmas Eve, you work Christmas Eve. No if's, and's, etc. So don't even try talking to me. I've made up my mind. Your wife and daughter will just have to do without you."
Sesshoumaru stared at his brother incredulously. "You would do that. To your own sister-in-law. Your own sweet niece."
"Yeah. So? Shouldn't you go back to your work now, brother? I wouldn't want you to be behind on it."
"Yes. . . 'sir.'" Sesshoumaru got up and quietly walked to the door.
When he opened the door, loud music was playing down the hall from one of the desks.
"'It's the most wonderful time of the year!
There'll be much mistle toeing and hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!'"
InuYasha stiffened, then bellowed out, "What is that crap?! Either turn it down or turn if OFF!"
Sesshoumaru had stopped in the doorway, and his eyes were a little wide from InuYasha's outburst. "It is just Christmas music, sir."
"It's crap! Shouldn't you be gone?"
Sesshoumaru left and the music outside lowered. InuYasha turned back to his paperwork.
"Christmas. Feh."
Now, everyone is pretty out-of-character in this fic, ESPECIALLY Naraku and Sesshoumaru, but you will see why. And besides, kindness is a good color on Sesshie. ^_^
