Inuyasha's Christmas Adventure
Chapter 5
****
They walked into the house and Inuyasha stopped short sniffing the air. All he could smell was pine trees, and not the fake spray stuff that was called 'Air freshener'. Curious, he followed the smell and stopped when he came to the doorway to the living room. There, in the corner of the room was a tree, and a big one at that.
"Oi Kagome there is a tree growing in your living room." He called over his shoulder to Kagome who had gone into the kitchen with her mother.
Kagome came out of the kitchen and walked over to him laughing softly. "Inuyasha, it's not growing in our living room. Grandpa put it there this afternoon." She said.
"Why do you want a tree in your living room?" He asked. 'They certainly do weird things in this era.' He thought to himself.
"It's our Christmas tree. We'll be putting lights and ornaments on it tonight." She said smiling up at him. "It'll be like the trees in the park."
"Oh, ok." He said as he watched her walk into the living room and start going threw some of the boxes that were lying on the floor by the tree.
Walking over, he looked over her shoulder to see what she was looking at. Inside the box was a bunch of brightly colored balls and long strands of beads.
Just then Sota came down stairs carrying another box and dropped on the ground right behind Inuyasha, causing him to jump. "Hi Inuyasha." Sota said cheerfully. "Are you going to help up decorate the house tonight?" He asked looking up hopefully at his hero.
"Feh, I guess." Inuyasha said trying not to let on that he had been startled by the sudden appearance of Kagome's little brother.
"Hey Sota, are all the decorations out of the attic?" Kagome asked looking up at her brother.
"Yep, this was the last box." Sota replied indicating the box at his feet.
"Good. Do you know which box has the light in it?" Kagome asked as she started to go through another of the boxes she was sitting next to.
"Yeah, the one marked 'lights'." Sota said smiling evilly. Oh how he loved to tease his sister when she was home.
Kagome looked up at her brother and gave im the dirtiest look possible. "Sota." She hissed at him. Causing him to laugh.
"It's right here. I just brought it down." Sota said still laughing at his sister.
Just then Mrs. Higurashi and Kagome's grandpa walked in. "Shall we start decorating the tree now?" Mrs. Higurashi asked looking around the room.
"Yeah!" Sota cheered. "I'll start putting on the lights." He said opening up the box at his feet.
Kagome laughed at her brother's enthusiasm. "Here Sota, let me give you a hand she said standing up and walking over to him. Inuyasha just watched the scene unfold before him. He found it amusing to watch Kagome and her brother being so silly.
"Hey Inuyasha, would you like to help me put on some of the ornaments?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, smiling at him and holding out some of the brightly colored balls for him to take.
"Sure." He said, taking the ornaments and looking at them closely.
"Here, I'll so you how to put them on the tree." Mrs. Higurashi said. "See this hook coming out of the ornament? Just take it and hook it around one of the branches of the tree." She said, demonstrating it for him.
He nodded his understanding and started putting on the brightly colored ornaments.
After a few minuets, all the ornaments were on the tree. The only thing left was a golden star. Mrs. Higurashi turned to Inuyasha, "Would you like to put the star on the tree for us Inuyasha?" She asked him. "All you have to do is place it on the very top of the tree."
"All right." He said taking the star from her and looking up at the top of the tree. 'Well, here goes nothin.' He thought to himself as he reached up to the top of the tree, being careful not to knock off any of the other ornaments, and gently placing the star on top.
As soon as it was on and he started to move away from the tree Mrs. Higurashi moved over to the side, taking the extension cord and the plug for the lights in hand. "Ready to light the tree?" She asked looking at everyone in the room. After getting an excited 'yeah' from Kagome and Sota, a shy nod from Inuyasha, a 'yes' from grandpa she plugged in the lights.
"Wow! It's soo pretty!" Sota said staring at the tree.
"I think it's the prettiest one we have ever had." Kagome said smiling. She then looked up at Inuyasha, who was standing next to her. She noticed a very slight smile on his face and his eyes were glowing in the light from the tree. "Do you like Inuyasha?" She asked quietly.
"Hai, it's really pretty." He replied.
"Kagome dear, lets go get the batter for the cookies we are baking tomorrow afternoon ready. Sota, you and Inuyasha help grandpa clean up the extra decorations." Mrs. Higurashi said as she left the room and headed for the kitchen with Kagome right behind her.
As the three men started to load the boxes up with the leftover items Sota spotted some mistletoe and got and idea. He quickly walked over to the doorway and hung it up above the door. He turned around and looked over at Inuyasha. "Yeah Inuyasha, can you do me a favor?" Sota asked sweetly.
Inuyasha looked over at him, "Feh, I guess." He replied.
"Cool. Can you come over here and stand right there." Sota said indicating the spot right under the mistletoe.
Inuyasha didn't understand why Sota would want him to stand in the doorway but he shrugged to himself, not seeing any harm in it. He walked over the spot that Sota had indicated and stood there, arms crossed, looking down expectantly at Sota.
"Stay there. I'll be right back." Sota said running off into the kitchen.
'I never really did understand Kagome's brother.' Inuyasha thought to himself while he waited for Sota to come back.
Sota then reappeared a few seconds later dragging Kagome behind him. When he reached Inuyasha he then got his sister to stand in the doorway too.
"Sota what on earth are you doing?" Kagome asked, she was quite annoyed at Sota for dragging her from the kitchen.
"Hey Inuyasha, kiss Kagome." Sota said giving the two of them an evil smile.
"WHAT!?" Inuyasha and Kagome said at the same time. Both turning red out of embarrassment.
"Sota, your soo dead." Kagome said and started to walk forward.
"You can't move until you kiss." Sota said pointing up to the mistletoe above their heads.
"What the hell is that?" Inuyasha said looking at the strange plant hanging on the doorframe.
"It's called mistletoe. When you stand under it your supposed to kiss." Kagome said, glaring daggers at her younger brother.
Mrs. Higurashi walked up; having just heard what Kagome said and chuckled. "Come on you two. Just a quick peck, it is tradition after all." Ahh, how much fun it was to see how red her daughter and Inuyasha turned, they were both redder then his harori, which was quite the feat.
'K-kiss Kagome. They actually want me to kiss her, and in front of them.' Inuyasha thought to himself. He gulped a little before saying, "Feh fine, whatever." He gently put one arm around Kagome and pulled her closer to him. He could tell that she was as nervous as he was, which helped him a little.
She turned to face him and put her hands on his chest as he pulled her too him. They both looked at each other nervously for a moment. 'Well, this is it.' He thought to himself, gulping again out of pure nervousness. He bent down and pressed his lips gently to hers for a mere second, but it was enough to send a shock down both their spines and make their hearts race. Not to mention about another ten shades redder, his harori, cardinals, and the reddest sunsets were put to shame at that moment.
They looked at each other for a moment before turning to Sota, who was laughing hysterically. "Hey Sota, come here for a moment." Kagome said with a dangerous twinkle in her eye. Seeing the look he was getting, Sota stopped laughing and ran to his room with an enraged Kagome right behind him.
Mrs. Higurashi just shook her head and laughed at her children's antics. "Well, I doubt that she will be back down for a few minuets. Do you want to help with the cookie dough Inuyasha?" She said turning to a sill very red Inuyasha who had moved out of the doorway. "I-I guess." He replied trying cover up the fact that he was still in shock over the kiss. He knew that she had felt the same thing he did. He had heard her heart speedup and she smelled as surprised as he felt at the shock that went through them, but the only coherent thought he had in his head at the moment was 'wow'.
