Christmas week and eve! And along came Mr. Mistletoe!

It was December 22 and Kagome had now been in her new school for about four months.

Sango and Kagome where talking in the hall going to their next class followed closely by Inuyasha and Miroku. "What do you think they would want for Christmas?" asked Kagome "Not sure what Inuyasha would want but me on the oth.... OW!" said an eavesdropping miroku as he got another hit over the head with Sango's bag. "He'll never learn will he" said Inuyasha. "He cant keep that hand of his off any girl for longer than a millisecond!" exclaimed Sango. "Hello! I'm right here I can hear you I'm not deaf!" "Oh really? then how come your always doing exactly what I tell you NOT to do?" said an outraged Sango. "I think we should leave them to their lovers quarrel and get to class before the late bell rings." said Kagome. Inuyasha nodded his agreement and they walked off leaving a bickering Sango and Miroku behind. it was a very long and quiet walk to class, the two walked in silence not sure of what to say to the other.

Kagome who was tiered of the silence spoke first. "I never thought to ask this but why do you wear that hat all the time?" Inuyasha didn't reply he only looked at her with misty eyes, they where saying something but what? 'Is he hiding something?' she asked her self. "If you don't want to tell me its alright I was just curious." "I know" he finally said. 'I want to tell her but I cant...not now.' he thought sadly. By that time Sango and Miroku looked around and found them missing. "HAY!" both shouted at Inuyasha and Kagome who turned around and smiled wile watching a running Sango and Miroku hurry to catch up with their friends. The day went buy with out much excitement, except for the whole battle in the hallway between Sango and Miroku.

The next day Kagome woke up and got ready for school. She put on a pair of her favorite pants and did what Sango said she should do, and put on a red low cut top that allowed just enough skin to show to get someone's attention. It was her favorite one next to the one with the dragon on it. This one was detailed with a small cat-demon. She put on her silver hoop earrings and a denim jacket and headed for the door wile slinging her back pack over her shoulder. Saying good bye to Souta and her mom from the door.

"wow! looking good Kagome this is sure to get his attention." commented Sango with approval. "I'll try to keep Miroku off of you." Sango added. "Thanks!". Then they heard laughter and turned to see Inuyasha laughing his head off. "what? what's so funny?" they asked him. "Miroku!...he's...he's....." stuttered Inuyasha through fits of laughter. "What? What about Miroku?" asked Sango. "Oh...My...God...what the hell is he wearing?!" said Kagome now starting the fits of laughter with Inuyasha. Sango turned and then started to laugh seeing what was so funny. Miroku obviously wanted to catch some un expecting girl off of her guard. He was wearing a headband with a piece of mistletoe hanging off of it, and guess who ended up under it! "We have to respect traditions Sango." Miroku said to Sango who was backing away from him slowly. Kagome walked up behind Sango and said in her ear "he's right you know, now go and give him a big KISS!" she said winking and putting something in Sango's hand which was behind her back. "Oh alright if you insist!" said Sango catching on. Inuyasha was just looking confused looking at Kagome with a puzzled look "Watch!" was all she said. Miroku who was looking overjoyed started to lean in for a "Big Kiss" from Sango who did the same but reached out for his hand and placed something in it. "What is this?" he asked. "Your Big KISS." said Sango and Kagome at the same time each bursting out with laughter as he looked down at the parcel in his hand. And sure enough it was, a Big Hershey's Kiss was sitting their in his hand. Then Miroku and Inuyasha joined in the laughter finally understanding what they meant.

When the bell rang they all went to their first class, which was history. They rushed to the back and sat in the usual arrangement. Miroku next to Sango, Inuyasha behind Miroku and Kagome behind Sango. Just when Kagome was getting out her notebook with the sketches she drew, Koga spotted her and walked over. "what do you want?" asked Inuyasha with disgust "Shut up Dog-boy-wanna be" said Koga matching Inuyasha's disgust. "I only came over here to give Kagome her Christmas present" he said sweetly, looking at Kagome when he did so. "Got a problem with that?" he asked Inuyasha. "Feh" was all he said wile crossing his arms and glaring at Koga with hatred. Kagome who was in shock, blushed wile taking the small parcel that Koga handed to her. "I hope you like it" he said and walked off to his seat with a smile. Sango and Miroku who just witnessed the whole thing asked what it was. Kagome opened the package and pulled out a little box, inside was a beautiful gold bracelet. they gasped. 'Oh man how am I going to top that' thought Inuyasha with intensified sadness. "he probably took it from his mommy" said Inuyasha with a smirk. "Inuyasha! that's not very nice!" said Kagome glaring at him. "What did you say you Baka?" asked an outraged Koga. "Baka?! who are you calling a Baka? Have you looked in a mirror lately? or was your big ego blocking the view?" they were shooting daggers with each glare they wore. "Inuyasha please sit down!" shrieked their history teacher. The excitement of the day died down instantly. He did so but not with out throwing Koga one last glare. He looked over at Kagome who was blushing furiously. She looked gorgeous today. She was wearing the silver hoops that she wore on the first day he met her. Her hair was down and a little more waver than usual, and her blue highlights were in curls. His eyes went down a little lower to her bare neck and the skin that the shirt she had on aloud looking eyes to see, then it dawned on him! 'I know the perfect gift!' he thought smugly to himself. Once again he kicked Miroku and whispered "Can I borrow some money?" "yah. why?" "I just thought of the perfect gift for Kagome." he said proudly. "Really? Can you help me find one for Sango?" Miroku asked "sure". And with that Inuyasha went to sleep dreaming about how happy Kagome will be when she opens her present.

But his dreams were interrupted by a nightmare.

"Inuyasha how could you?" came the paining voice of Kikyou. "Kikyou I...its just.." said Inuyasha who was at a loss for words. "I thought you loved me!" she cried out "I do...or...I did" said Inuyasha quietly "How can you love her? you barely even know her!" "NO!...your wrong....I felt just like she did when I first came to this school, I saw it in her eyes." replied Inuyasha. "I loved you for who you are... I kept your secret! dose this mean nothing to you?" she asked bitterly "Of course it dose but I cant help how I feel!" he said tears starting to stream down his cheeks "You broke up with me! or do you not remember?" he asked sadly. "All I remember is you betraying my trust. She could never love you. your just a half wit." she said coldly "NO! Your wrong...YOUR WRONG!" he started to scream at her, Before hearing Kagome in the distance "Inuyasha? Inuyasha wake up! are you okay?"

He opened his eyes slowly. Everyone in the class was staring at him as if he had gone mad. Only Miroku, Sango, and Kagome looked at him with worry. 'No!' Kikyou was looking at him with a smirk on her face and a evil glint in her eyes. "Inuyasha are you okay what happened?" asked Kagome with concern "yah...Yah I'm okay I just had a bad dream." he said wile looking at Kikyou. "See what happens Kagome when you hang out with weirdoes?!" said Koga "They go crazy in the blink of an eye." Koga said with a grin. Inuyasha had just got up and was about to punch Koga but Kagome got their first.

SMACK!!! everyone flinched at the sound of Kagome's hand colliding hard with Koga's face.

"Don't you EVER! call him or my friends weird! We do NOT go crazy in the blink of an eye!" yelled Kagome in outrage. No one said anything. Kagome very pissed off stormed out of the room and into the hallway. Everyone looked stunned, they had never seen her angry let alone this pissed off at anyone ever. "Holly Shit! she's scary when she's mad!" said a scared Miroku hiding behind Sango. "Yah, well if you don't stop doing that I'm goanna get pretty scary in second!" said Sango through clenched teeth. He immediately removed his hand from her rear end. "Inuyasha you should..." Sango started to say but found him gone already.

Inuyasha found Kagome crying in the hall leaning up against her locker. He walked up slowly and sat down beside her. "Kagome are you okay?" he asked softly. She didn't answer. "Kagome...what happened back their?" "I...couldn't...control... myself..." she said through heavy sobs. Inuyasha not sure of what was going on just reached out and brought her close to him, cradling her in his arms, comforting her was all he could do.
She leaned on his chest listening to the soft thump of his heart beat. "Kagome can I trust you with a very deep secret of mine?" he asked but when she didn't answer he looked down. she had fallen asleep. He smiled and just sat their with her cradled in his arms. 'I hope I can trust her.' he thought.

(Mean wile) "Well if that's how he wants it fine, but I'm not done yet." said Kikyou who was watching the whole thing from a distance.

Sango and Miroku was just starting to wonder where Inuyasha and Kagome were, it had been nearly a hour. "Hummm I could think of a couple of reasons why their not back." said Miroku before getting hit over the head again by Sango. "Kagome would never do something like that. She's not like you after all." said Sango a little irritated. "True" he agreed.

Kagome stirred. She looked up and saw bright golden eyes staring back at her. "Where am I?" she asked confused. "School." he answered simply. "We should get back to class." he added. She nodded and got up shakily, he put his arm around her waist to help steady her. They both blushed. "thanks." she said softly. They then walked back to class.

When school ended both Miroku and Inuyasha headed off in a hurry. "Where do you think their going?" asked Kagome "you got me." said Sango with a shrug. They then headed off to go and visit Kagome's grandfather about a gift for Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Where are we going?" asked Miroku "To the jewelers." Inuyasha replied. "I thought of the perfect gift for Sango." said Miroku "What would that be?" asked Inuyasha. "A little kitten that I found in the window of the pet shop that's around the corner here." he said proudly. "what are you going to get Kagome?" asked Miroku "A necklace that I found a few weeks back." he replied. "so do you want to get the kitten first or wait until after we go to the jewelry store" asked Miroku. "Jewelry store then pet shop." said Inuyasha.

"Hay grandpa!" called Kagome from the door of his shop. "Why hello Kagome, Sango. what brings you here?" he asked "A couple of gifts for my friends." said Kagome "what did you have in mind?" he asked. "Well actually...I saw it a long time ago but do you still have those rosary beads? You know, the dark purple almost black ones with the fangs." Kagome asked hopefully. "Yes...actually I do." he answered starting to scrounge around in different drawers searching for the necklace. "Ah...here it is." he said handing a small black box to Kagome. "Thanks grandpa!" said Kagome giving him a hug. "Did you want something to?" he asked Sango. "Well at first yes, but I just thought of something that he would like even better than spell scrolls." she said with a small glint in her eyes.
They said thank you to Kagome's Grandfather and bid him good bye. 'I hope he likes it' thought Kagome.

After Inuyasha and Miroku left the jewelry store they headed to the pet shop. "That's the one." said Miroku looking at a small cream kitten that had red eyes, black paws, black tipped tail and a lil black diamond shaped mark on its forehead. "cute." commented Inuyasha with a nod. when Miroku got the kitten safe and sound in a caring case they left.

It was Christmas Eve and Kagome was getting ready to go over to Sango's where they all were going to exchange gifts. She had on her green low cut shirt and a pair of hip huggers that had wide bell bottom's. She walked to Sango's and knocked at the door. "Hi Sango."
"Hay Kagome come on in." she led the way to the family room where Inuyasha was sitting and playing video games on Sango's PS2. "Hi Inuyasha." "Hi Kagome". "What cha playing?" she asked "Mortal Enemy 1" he said handing her a controller and explaining what key did what. "So wanna play?" he asked hopefully "sure. But the winner exchanges their gift first." she said with confidence "your on!" he said expecting this to be a easy win, which was a big mistake. They went on battling for a long time until finally, "ha ha I win!" said Kagome. Inuyasha who was in shock at being beat in his favorite game by an amateur just looked at Kagome who smiled. "quick learner huh?" he asked "No, my little brother has this game." said Kagome smiling. "oh" was all he said looking a little relieved.

Just then their was a knock at the door and in walked Miroku. "Hello" he said "Hi" replied everyone else. "So...ready to exchange gifts?" he asked hopefully "more than." said Kagome and Inuyasha at the same time. "Sango this is for you." he said wile handing her a large box with a few holes in one side. She looked at him thoughtfully and started to unwrap the paper. When the paper fell away out jumped the little kitten into her lap. "aaaawww!" said both Sango and Kagome as they saw the little kitten curling up in Sango's lap. "Oh Miroku! she's adorable! Thank you so much." "What are you going to call her?" asked Kagome "hmm" she thought and then it hit her "I think I'll call her Keylala." she said wile picking up the kitten.

"Now this makes me want to give you your present even more than before." said Sango seductively looking at Miroku with a odd expression on her face.

Inuyasha, Miroku and Kagome all exchanged questioning looks.

Then Sango took Miroku's hand and pulled him towards the open door of the kitchen and stopped right under the doorway and looked up. Miroku followed her gaze and gasped. Smiling Sango looked back at him, he pulled her close to him and she wrapped her arms around his neck and he her slim waist. Then they passionately kissed, under the mistletoe.

(Mean wile) Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other in shock not expecting this at all. "Well do you think we should break them up or just exchange gifts without them?"
Kagome asked, but as soon as she did she heard a gasp and the sound of a slap. Miroku had taken the perfect moment between him and Sango and ruined it because of his hand. "He'll never learn." said Inuyasha shaking his head.

Now it was Inuyasha's and Kagome's turn to exchange. since Kagome won the game she was able to give Inuyasha his gift first. He opened the parcel and then the little black box and saw one of the coolest necklaces inside. It was really neat, he wanted to say so but was lost for words. He just smiled very happily and the glossy look was back on his eyes and he was blushing. "Thank you." he said wile putting on the deep purple beaded necklace that had five fangs spaced through ought it. He then handed Kagome her present. She blushed out of spite wile taking the present from him. 'God I hope she likes it.' he thought. As she opened the package he held his breath.

She gasped and her eyes widened, as she pulled out a gorgeous necklace that had a purplish, pinkish stone that was about the size of a quarter attached to it.

"Oh my god!" she gasped, and with out thinking she embraced a pleased Inuyasha. then realizing what she was doing quickly let go blushing deeply.

"so do ya like it?" he asked "liking it is an understatement!" she squealed as he took it from her and placed it around her neck. "Thank you so much. I love it." she said wile gazing deep into his beautiful golden eyes once more. 'Thank god she likes it.' he thought with relief as he lost himself in her eyes. They sat their for some time just staring into each others eyes, wanting to do more but afraid of what the other might think. Miroku and Sango never found out what Kagome got for Christmas until later that night. They were sitting on the couch kissing again unable to hold back the feelings they felt for each other any longer.
