Title
Chapter 3:
Christmas Eve
When they had been younger, they had both been thrilled by Christmas.
Not anymore.
Now Inuyasha only saw it as an opportunity for people to give him more stuff, never mind the fact that he didn't need it.
The only other part of the holiday that he liked was the big party his parents threw. All his friends came since they were part of Tokyo's high society along with their parents.
Kagome came too. Only because her mother was the hostess's best friend.
The party was always on Christmas Eve.
Christmas consisted of spending the whole day with the Higurashi family.
His father like to joke that the two women were joined at the hip.
But Inuyasha knew that Christmas was the hardest part of the year for the family because around this time six years ago, Kagome's father had died in a car accident.
Despite knowing this, after the beginning of high school, he failed to give her his customary hug on December 23rd, the day he had died.
She had been so sad the day he seemed to have forgotten.
And he had.
At any rate, the party was tonight and none of his friends had arrived yet.
He stood boredly at the door until 9 o' clock, when Miroku and Sango arrived.
Sango nearly pushed him through the doo, Miroku sporting a fresh hand print on his left cheek.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.
Sango ignored him and began muttering under her breath.
"Stupid jerk. Why on earth is his last name Houshi, if he is less like a monk than anything else? What kind of immoral man flirts with women in front of his girlfriend?"
She walked away still muttering.
Inuyasha looked at Miroku.
"I can't help myself." He said sheepisly.
Inuyasha shook his head. That's what he said every time.
Miroku ran off to get a drink and to probably flirt some more.
Meanwhile, Sango came back over to Inuyasha and said, "Listen, Kagome went shopping with me yesturday and she bought a really nice dress, so be nice to her for once and compliment her, okay? I'd better go find Miroku, before he causes the entire under 30 female population to follow him around like ducklings."
Inuyasha watched Sango walk away.
He frowned. He was always nice to Kagome, wasn't he?
As he pondered this, he distractedly waved to Ayame, Kogam Kagura and Kanna who had arrived.
Neither Kagome nor Kikyou was there yet.
Then, at around 10 to 10, Kagome arrived.
Inuyasha had to do a double take. It was Kagome, all right.
Sango was going to pay. She looked so beautiful, how could he not pay her a compliment?
Since high society had parties where you had to dress up like rich people they were, all men were in tuxedos, and the women were in fance dresses.
Sango, Kanna, Kagura and Ayame looked pretty stunning, but Kagome topped them all.
She was wearing a black, floor length dress with a one shoulder strap. The bodice had tincy silver snowflakes on the right side and along the hem. The skirt part had silver glitter all over it.
He noticed she was actually wearing her hair down and secured by a silver snowflake.
Sango had gone all out.
He walked over to her and smelled the perfume she was wearing. Roses.
She was wearing make up, too.
"Uh, hi, Inuyasha. So, what do you think? Sango picked it out for me." She said.
He smiled and said, "You look beautiful."
She gave him a smile that could light up a room. Then she frowned and said, "Do you really mean it?"
He laughed. "Of course I do! Wanna dance? My parents would kill me if I don't show everyone I can dance properly."
"Sure." She replied.
What ever else happened that night, he forgot. All he remebered was being happier dancing with Kagome, than when he had done anything with Kikyou.
A/N: Okay, so he isnt' that much of a jerk here. I didn't know Sango and Kagome were friends...thought Sango was part of the rich, popular group...well, I'll have to ask my friend. This was a nice chapter. Inuyasha like Kagome! No I'm just kidding. I'm not really sure how this story is going to turn out. All I am doing is typing my friends ideas. Still, I would kill for Kagome's dress. Or atleast to try it on. I fell for the one shoulder strap...always wanted a dress or shirt like that. Stay tuned.
