Chapter Four: Snow Fun

Disclaimer: Alas, I have no ownership of anything used in this story, except of course the plot…

Kagome's eyes fluttered open to take in a dimly lit room. Where could she be? What was this, the comforter she lay under was silk. Since when did her family have silk bed spreads? On that note, since when was her bed this soft? Okay, seriously…where was she?

She sat up abruptly and reached over to what resembled a lamp. Light immediately illuminated the room. The walls were a French vanilla, the floor a maple hardwood, and the bed sheets were black and red.

This was so not her bedroom…wait, what was she dressed in? A black tank top and red silk pajama pants…She shrieked. Someone had undressed and redressed her…

A few moments later a door on the far wall opened and Inuyasha stumbled in. "What's the matter?" he slurred his voice husky from sleep.

"Okay, I'm really freaked out…where am I, why are you here, and WHO DRESSED ME?"

"Calm down, okay, well, firstly you're at my house, secondly, this is my house, thirdly one of the maids,"

"Why am I here?"

"You, Sango, and Miroku fell asleep on the way home from the dance, so I called up your parents and told them I'd bring you three here."

"I see…so which room is this?"

"Mine…Sango's in the spare…and Miroku and I bunked out in the connecting room," He directed to the door from which he had come. "Well, seeing as we're both up, why don't we go down for breakfast?"

"Sure," Kagome eased herself out of bed and graciously accepted Inuyasha's offering arm.

They walked out of the room, down the hall, and down the stairs. It wasn't a mansion, but the house was large and lavish. In the kitchen they found Inuyasha's mother making pancakes and sipping tea.

"Ohayo," she greeted with a smile.

"Ohayo Izayoi-sama,"

"Kagome, drop the 'sama' it's much too formal."

"Alright,"

"Now then, pancakes?"

"Yes please,"

"Sure mom,"

Just as they sat down to eat, they heard a scream, and a thud. Soon after Miroku came running in with a hand-printed face, with a flushed Sango behind him.

"Baka hentai!" Sango screamed as Miroku ducked under the table.

"Sango-chan!" Kagome grabbed her friend from behind and held her back.

"Well, I'm guessing he 'woke' you up?" Inuyasha stated more than questioned.

"Hai,"

"Okay, enough." Izayoi coaxed everyone. "Just have a seat, and at least get through breakfast,"

Moments later everyone was calm and seated, of course Miroku and Sango being furthest away from each other.

"I think you should all go out to the winter festival in the park today. Then later we can all meet up at the Sunset Shrine to help Kagome and her family, decorate the shrine,"

The friends merely nodded in unison and proceeded to finish their pancakes. They returned back to the rooms they had stayed to find Izayoi had had maids lay out clothing for them to wear out in the snow.

Half an hour later they all met in the foyer. Izayoi had ordered a taxi-van to bring them to the park.

At the park there were so many things to do. Whether it be snowman making, snowball fight tournaments, ice sculpting and much more. They decided on applying for the snowball fight tournament, then going on a sleigh ride.

As the sleigh moved along, gliding over the ice covered pathways of the park the friends joked around and enjoyed the sight of the wonderful season of winter.

As much as they were joking around, there was room for a slight tinge of romance. The couples sat next to their partner and snuggled, enjoying the other's company though much of the joking left little room for 'quality time'.


The sleigh ride lasted for about half an hour, it had run along the whole vicinity of the park. Now they were headed for the snowball tournament.

The tourney didn't go so well for them. They had ended up declaring war on each other, leaving the opposing team out on the side. Inuyasha stuffed snow down Kagome's jacket, as Miroku had smashed a handful of snow into Sango's face. Soon they were wrestling with one another in hopes of revenge. That ended well, in getting them disqualified and banned from that area. Though you had to admit the sight of snow quarreling teenagers was fairly amusing.

The fun lasted for hours but soon the friends were getting tired and needed to call it a day. Anyway, they had to go meet everyone at Kagome's shrine to decorate.

Instead of calling for a taxi, they decided to walk home. Besides, it was a beautiful day, give or take a few gusts of sudden wind and cold.

At the shrine, they were greeted by their families. Kagome's mother, Sota, and grandpa; Izayoi, Sesshomaru, and Inu no Tai Shou; Sango's father, and Kohaku; Miroku's father, and Mushin were already setting up lights and decorations on the shrine grounds.

The group of close family and friends enjoyed having time with one another, in such high spirits. Even Inuyasha and Sesshomaru didn't pick a fight with each other. Soon the shrine grounds were ravishing in Christmas cheer, with lights, snowmen Kohaku and Sota had made, an ice sculpture Kagome and Inuyasha's mothers had done, and many more festive items.

They went inside and sat in the living room, enjoying hot cocoa. They recapped on the day, and recent activities. Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango decided on not telling their families about the alternate universe and the dream.

Late evening neared so everyone decided to pack in for the night. Kagome's mother grandfather saw the adults out, Sota and Kohaku followed closely, and Kagome and her friends lagged behind.

Near the end of the hallway, the four friends stopped to say their goodbyes. Sango and Miroku hugged, though they were heading the same way to go home as they released each other they looked over to their also embracing friends. They looked at each other and chuckled quietly.

Inuyasha and Kagome gave their friends odd glares as if to ask them what they were snickering about.

Sango pointed above them to the ceiling. And low and behold their hung a sprig of mistletoe.

Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other before leaning in and placing a soft kiss on each other's lips.

"Best Christmas ever," Kagome whispered.

A rip formed below them and sucked them through into its black swirling vortex.

They had no idea what was going to happen next.

A/N: Well there you have it! The second last chapter! I'm sorry if it seemed like I rushed this chapter a little…okay maybe not a little, but still…can you blame me if I'm not feeling all that hot? Yes, sadly I was sick all day...and in the bathroom quite a few times, throwing up my innards, but you REALLY don't need to know that...Well until the next chapter! Reviews would be nice! Thank you!
