Chapter 26: Christmas Day and The Tragic Event

Inu Yasha and Kagome left the prom late at night. Kikyo stared after them with hatred in her eyes.

"Stupid wench, Higurashi," she scowled. "I bet you your volleyball team and my team are the best ones in this school! That means that you'll win, like you always do! You've ruined my life."

"Something the matter, Kikyo?" Naraku asked.

"Duh, there is!"

"What's wrong?"

"I hate Higurashi! I wish I could get back at her! I wish she wouldn't be there to help her volleyball team on the final competition day! That'd be the best present that I could ever wish for!"

Naraku looked at her thoughtfully and said nothing.

"Good night, Inu Yasha," Kagome said shyly. "I had a great time."

"Me too," Inu Yasha smiled. "Have a great Christmas."

"I will," Kagome replied. "You too."

He nodded. She gave him a hug and then looked up at him.

'I hope he'll accept this,' Kagome thought. He stared down at her. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his for 2 full seconds (1- mississippi, 2-mississippi.). Inu Yasha's eyes widened.

"Merry Christmas," she said quickly after she broke away. Kagome ran up the shrine steps, her cheeks pink.

*****

"Merry Christmas, Mom! You too, Grandpa!" Kagome said cheerfully on Christmas morning as she walked down the last steps of the stairs.

"Merry Christmas, Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi smiled warmly. "Come and eat breakfast."

"So," Grandpa cleared his throat and asked Kagome. "How was yesterday night?"

The flashback of her kissing Inu Yasha popped up into her head. She blushed.

"It was-great," Kagome answered slowly.

"Uh huh," her mother and grandfather snorted. She didn't react. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Kagome said quickly and escaped. She ran to the front door and saw that Souta was already there. He opened the door. A little man that looked like a toad stood at the doorstep, holding a package.

"Hello," it croaked. "My name is Jaken, and I have come to deliver this package to Mr. Souta Higurashi."

Souta's eyes lit up. He said excitedly, "I'm him! I'm Souta Higurashi."

Jaken handed over the box.

"Merry Christmas," he said and then walked away.

"BYE!" Souta shouted and slammed the door shut. He ran to the living room and sat down on a couch. The box jumped slightly. Souta stared at it.

"Well, who's it from?" Kagome asked. Souta looked at the attached tag and answered, "Inu Yasha."

"Well then, open it!" she urged. Souta shakily opened up the package. A white dog jumped out and started licking his face.

"Hey!" Souta laughed. "It's slobbering all over me!"

Kagome grinned at the sight in front of her.

"What are you going to name it?" she asked. Souta sat there thoughtfully.

"I'll name it partially after my idol person," he finally said.

"And that would be?"

"Inu Yasha."

Kagome giggled, "You're going to name him Inu Yasha?"

"No. I'm going to name him Inu. It's a dog anyways, so it suits him."

"Inu.." Kagome said the word. "Yes..that's nice."

Inu trotted over to her and rubbed his head against her leg.

"That's no fair!" Souta complained. "He's all messy with me and all nice and clean with you!"

His sister chuckled and picked up the white dog.

"You're so kawaii," Kagome cooed as she looked into the dog's amber eyes. She walked off into the kitchen with Inu.

"HEY!" Souta hollered. "Come back! That's MY dog!"

*****

Kagome lay on her bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"I kissed him," she murmured and closed her eyes. "He looked so surprised."

Kagome turned over onto her side.

"I wonder if he's mad at me.."

*****

Monday morning came by quickly and Kagome dragged herself over to her seat in Mr. Tatewaki's classroom.

"Hi, Kagome," Sango smiled.

"Hey," Kagome said tiredly.

"Did you have a good weekend?"

"Yeah. Souta got a white dog from Inu Yasha and guess what he named it?"

"What?"

"Inu."

Sango burst out into laughter.

"Inu Yasha is Souta's idol," Kagome explained.

"I can..see that," Sango replied. Miroku and Inu Yasha walked into the classroom.

"Hello, Sango," Miroku came over and gave her a deep kiss.

Kagome shifted her view to Inu Yasha. He looked at her and then turned away.

'Could he be-mad at me?' she wondered.

*****

"Ayame?"

"Here."

"Kouga?"

"Here."

"Naraku?"

Silence.

"Naraku?" Mr. Tatewaki repeated.

No answer.

"Hm. Very well then, not here."

*****

"I'll grant Kikyo's wish. To make her happy. Maybe she'll actually 'like' me if I do this."

A black figure stood at the doorstep of Higurashi shrine.

DING! DONG!

The door creaked opened. An old man opened the door and asked,

"Hello? Oh, may I help you?"

The dark figure pulled out a sharp, pointy knife and stabbed it through Grandpa's heart.

"Yes," the figure answered. "You can help me. You just did."

A/N: Very short chapter, but I'm trying to end this story fast since it's coming towards the end. And besides, you all want fluff! Review!

Guess who the person was! Oh, before I forget..

Yes, the song Moonlight Shadow and Total Eclipse of The Heart DID come from IY music videos *winks at a certain reviewer..you guessed right!*

They'll be 3 to 5 more chapters after this. Don't worry, this ISN'T the end people!
