"Hey Kagome....theres one for you too." Rakuba said.He handed her a silver box of small stature.This one also had a note inside.

Kagome,you and I don't know each other that well so I decided to just send a little present to you.I picked this up at your town at a nearby music shop.The dude behind the counter thought that I was pretty and sweet enough (Much to my flattery...such a nice man.) to have this cd for free.Listen close to the lyrics and I think you'll know why I bought this cd in particular and look at the hit song on the front.Don't be a stranger,Rena

Kagome looked at her gift.It was strangely Liz Phair.The hit song was 'Why Can't I'.She knew the lyric well.It was one of her favorite american singers...although when Kiko told her about when she was a performance singer a while ago and let her listen to some of the songs she sang,Kagome added her to the list of her favorite singers.The lyric was very pretty.

Get a load of me,get a load of you

walkin' down the street and I hardly know you

it's just like we were meant to be

holding hands with you and we're out at night

got a girlfriend

you say it isn't right

and i've got someone waiting too

but this is just the begginning

we're already wet,and we're gonna go swimming

why can't I breathe whenever I think of you

why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

it's inevitable,and it's a fact we're gonna get down to it

so tell me

why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Isn't this the best part about breaking up

finding someone else you can't get enough of

someone who wants to be with you too

and she already knew the rest.Rena was right...sort of.Kagome DID hardly know Inuyasha!He did have a girlfriend...a dead one.He did kinda flinch when Kikyo came up as a subject from Kagome.It was a begginning for her to know Inuyasha better.She could'nt speak about Inuyasha in public otherwise people would think she was nuts.It was all true!Inuyasha was still unwrapping the rest of his presents.He found Kagome's wich was an entire box of ramen.He asked Kiko to put it in the cupboard for later.It was a beutiful Christmas.Kagome was happy but Kagome still caught Inuyasha taking second glances at the door,and the words that played on his lips were,"Merry Christmas and thank you....please come home soon." under his breath.Kagome felt remorse for Inuyasha.He was so unhappy and he didn't like to celebrate a holiday without her.Inuyasha thought.Maybe this tale over 62 long years did kind of circle around Rena too much.Maybe he should start some new journeys,think about the wishes that would make him happy and fullfill them.He wanted to make sure that Rena was o.k!She was his sister but maybe he revolved around her too much and he didn't focus much on his life.He hadn't searched for the sacred jewel,that would help become full demon for months,and he hadn't seen his forests in a long time either.Inuyasha was indeed,behind in his life.He relized something that very second.Rena wanted Inuyasha to be happy,like a mother for her child,but if he kept following Rena around without being ordered or threatened to like a little pet,then what was there to be happy about?Then he looked over to Kagome.She looked so beautiful by the fire,a smile on her face.Then he found the answer to his question.He found something to be happy about.He relized that Kagome was the only human who DID know that he could kill her whenever he choosed,but didn't run away from him.She was there for him.She worried about him.She was happy for him.She always wanted to know how he felt about a matter.Rakuba walked up to him."Yeah,I know that look....." He gave a sly look."She really is a hottie isn't she uncle Inuyasha...." He taunted."Ahhhh,shut up." He replied while pushing him backward."Oh by the way Kagome,Inuki is old enough to go home with you." Rakuba told Kagome from the floor."Who's Inuki?" she replied.He thrust that one puppy from chapter 9 in the first story that resembled Inuyasha at her."This is Inuki!I nicknamed him but you can rename him if you want to." Rakuba said while Inuki shook his little tail."I think Inuki is perfect." She replied.Inuki had a red bow tied around his little white belly and was really happy to be held by Kagome.He was just all a jitter and was going to burst with excitement.His little almond eyes focused completely on her.She squeezed him tightly to her chest and couldn't wait to show Souta.It was love at first sight.
