Have A Merry Little Christmas
Chapter 2--
The rest of the walk to their school was relatively quiet and passed without incident. It seemed, to Kagome, that the young man beside her would be cold. At a side-glance she noted that he wore the formal boy uniform assigned to the boys in there school with only a traditional red haori for actual warmth.
The way he carried himself suggested otherwise, though. She noticed he didn't seem cold at all. After throwing his books hastily in his briefcase also given to the student of the school, he carried it under his arm, held in place only by a hand stuffed into his pant pocket. He walked as though it were spring and a breeze was still present.
"What?" He asked, snapping her out of her reverie. It wasn't rude, but rather a quick, embarrassed sound. She blushed and turned her head swiftly.
"A-Aren't you cold?" she asked slowly, "I mean that school outfit wasn't made for use in the winter… and…" She trailed off uncertainly.
"No." and that was the end of the conversation.
"Kagome-chan!" Sango's voice rang out from in front of them. Kagome ran ahead after a nod from Inu-Yasha.
"Hai!"
"I'm going to find Miroku. I'll walk with you back home, okay?"
"Yeah. I have to get to class anyhow." Kagome answered. "But… Sango… I'm staying for Christmas."
"We'll talk about it later, okay Kagome-chan." The older girl hugged her, "I want to ask Miroku… something." She let go of the girl and started a pace towards the school that was within sight. "Ja ne!"
"Be careful, Sango-chan!" Kagome called after her.
!
"Inu-Yasha!" He heard his name called, but didn't turn. "Inu-Yasha!" By the sound of her insistent voice, it was the girl from this morning… Kagome. Why couldn't he get hr off his mind. "Inu-Yasha." she caught up to him out of breath. He stopped and watched her take off her scarf and pant heavily. "Sango said she has errands to run…" She said after she regained her normal breathing.
"Walk with me." He said shortly.
"I-I couldn't impose. I just wanted to tell you that she invited you to a small party tomorrow. She told me to let you know."
"Oh." Inu-Yasha turned again and began walking, "I'll still walk with you. You know, if you want, of course." He rushed.
"Sure." She smiled. "I'd love to."
