MG740: Okay this is that next chapter I've been promising you guys. So
without further ado-
Shippo: I have to use the potty
MG740: Didn't you go in my other fanfic?
Shippo: Yeah, but I gotta go again.
MG740: Okay everybody, bathroom break.
Shippo: (after going to the bathroom) ah, much better. (A minute later everybody runs back from the bathroom covering their noses.
MG740: What happened you guys.
Inu-Yasha: The smell, the poison gas.
MG740: Is Naraku releasing his Miasma again? (A second later, Naraku comes out coughing just like everybody else.) What the hell is happening in there?
Miroku: (comes out of the bathroom) Sorry. I had the beans for lunch.
MG740: Oh that's just nasty. Anyway, I don't own Inu-Yasha and trust me, some of you out there should be thankful of that. So on with the fic.
Chapter 2- Christmas with Friends or Family
"So let me get this straight. At Christmas you decorate a tree with stuff and you buy gifts for your friends, wrap them up, and set them under a tree. On Christmas morning, you open presents, eat food, and sing stupid songs called Christmas Carols?"
"That about sums it up Inu-Yasha."
"Kagome, you come up with some of the weirdest things," Inu-Yasha said as he got down from the tree. "How do you expect us to decorate a tree like this," he indicated the tree that was more bark than branches anyway.
"Not like that. A pine tree, or even a plastic Christmas tree," Kagome said explaining about the types of trees.
"A fake tree?" a confused Miroku asked.
"Yeah. It's made of plastic," she said again. "So, you guys think you want to try Christmas out?"
"Sounds fun, I'm in," Shippo said as he climbed into Kagome's lap.
"I think I'm in too!" Sango said as she sat down next to Kagome.
"Well that means I'm automatically in," Miroku said as he sat down behind Sango and hugged her. The two of them had hooked up a few months ago and were inseparable ever since.
"Well Inu-Yasha, how about you?" Kagome asked.
Inu-Yasha debated this for a long time then finally gave in and said, "okay, I'll do it."
"Great, 'cause you have to help me get the tree and ornaments back over here," Kagome said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the well.
Inu-Yasha opened his mouth to say something, but Kagome said, "If you even think to protest I'll say the S-I-T word." Inu-Yasha stayed silent.
When they got to the well, Inu-Yasha grabbed Kagome by the waist and together, they dropped down into the well.
When they go to the other side, Inu-Yasha jumped up and out of the well with Kagome in his arms.
"I'm home," Kagome screamed as she and Inu-Yasha entered the house.
Her grandfather and Souta were home. Her mother was out buying gifts for the family.
"Kagome, you came home for Christmas?" her grandfather asked.
"Actually grandpa, I came home to get some money for ornaments," she said as she dashed to her room. She opened her bank and took out 10,000 yen (equivalent to $100.00 US dollars), and was about to head out of the house.
"But, you always spend Christmas here, sis." Souta said as she was leaving.
"Yeah, well not this year. I'm spending Christmas in the feudal era. Now I gotta go," she said as she dragged Inu-Yasha by the hand out of the house. ****************************************************************************
********** Inu-Yasha dashed them to the shopping district so they could pick everything up.
Once there, the shopping spree began.
Kagome got a lot of ornaments, and decorations including wreaths, mistletoes, garnets, and some cute crystal decorations.
Inu-Yasha was bored stiff-they had been shopping for two hours now, and the only thing he did was hold bags. And they still weren't finished shopping yet.
"What else do we have to get?!" a frustrated Inu-Yasha asked.
"Just an angel and a tree," Kagome said as she spotted the perfect tree in a store. "I want that one. It's perfect!" she said as she ran into the store.
She got the tree and the lady rang it, and the angel was also found in the store to 3,500 yen and 20 sen. She paid and again they were off.
This time, they walked back to her house because of all the heavy stuff. The reached her house in 35 minutes. By this time, her mother was home.
"Hi mom," Kagome said as she hugged her mom.
"Hi sweetie. Hello Inu-Yasha."
"Hi Higarashi-san," he said as he finally got to sit down for the day.
"My, that's an awful lot of bags," she said as she look at all the stuff they had.
"Yeah, I needed to buy some ornaments and a Christmas tree," Kagome said as she started pulling stuff out of bags to sort.
"But we have all that stuff here. Why do you need more?"
Kagome got quiet. "Well, because I'm spending Christmas in Feudal Japan."
"Oh."
'Here she blows,' Kagome and Inu-Yasha thought.
"Well have a nice time, dear," her mother said with a smile on her face.
"What, you're not going to tell her she can't go?" grandpa Higarashi asked.
"No dad. She can go spend Christmas over there. This is her first year over there, so why shouldn't she stay for Christmas?"
"But I thought you were supposed to be with you family on Christmas," Souta said.
"Your family and/or friends, sweetie." Ms. Higarashi turned to her daughter. "I have a good feeling about you spending Christmas in Feudal Japan anyways. I can just tell something wonderful is gonna happen to you."
"Thank you, mom," Kagome said as she hugged her mom again.
Kagome proceeded to un-pack repack bags. She ended up with three bags instead of seven. One bag with glass ornaments, another with non-glass ornaments, and the last one with the garnets, wreath, mistletoe, and the tree skirt. The tree was in a box by itself.
"Now Inu-Yasha, you can carry the tree and non-glass ornaments. I got the rest," Kagome said as she turned to go for the door.
"Alright." Inu-Yasha turned to pick up the tree, but was stopped by Kagome's mother.
"Inu-Yasha, I want to talk to you for a minute."
"Yeah, okay," he said and sat down as she indicated.
Ms. Higarashi grabbed his hand and started.
"Now Inu-Yasha, I can tell you're confused. You love another woman, but you feel as if you're supposed to love Kagome. Well listen closely to me. Do as you heart says and don't worry about Kagome. She's a strong girl. She can handle herself. She will be hurt at first, but give her time and she'll come around."
Inu-Yasha was confused to say the least. "But how did you-"
"Call it a mother's intuition, sweetie." Kagome came back in the door again, so Ms. Higarashi concluded by saying "remember what I said. Follow your heart, and your feelings."
"Come on Inu-Yasha, let's go!" Kagome yelled.
"Thank you for the advance, Hiagarashi-san," Inu-Yasha said as he got up. "You know, I don't say this to just any woman, but you remind me of my mother."
"Thank you."
Inu-Yasha picked up the tree and ornaments and he joined Kagome in going down the well.
When they reached the other side, they brought the stuff to Kaede's hut and started decorating the tree. Sango and Miroku were enjoying themselves as was Shippo. Kagome, on the other hand, was debating with herself.
'Should I have stayed home for Christmas or did I make a good decision by staying here?'
Inu-Yasha came around with a golden garnet and saw Kagome's face. Without her saying a word, he knew what was wrong.
He hugged her and said, "Don't worry. You made a good choice. You can always go back on Christmas and see them anyways."
Kagome smiled. "Thank you, Inu-Yasha," she said, and both went back to decorating.
The decorating went smoothly with laughs, fun, happiness, and no more self- doubts about decisions on home.
MG740: (with gas mask on) Okay that's it for this chapter.
Miroku: I don't stink that bad.
MG740: Look at the rest of the cast Miroku (points to all the characters as they have fainted.)
Miroku: Okay, I get the hint. No more beans for me then.
MG740: Good. Now look for the next chapter people. Ja'ne for now.
Shippo: I have to use the potty
