Special Christmas

A young boy dances in the snow, bare footed and does not seem to bother him. He smiled when the snow touch his face, and laugh when he could catch it on his tongue. He was a growing boy of 11 years old who was more then happy to say he lived with his younger brother and his father. I know what you are thinking and whom you are thinking about, yes I do. No, this happen way before the coldness sat in and the love of the family was still just as warm.

His tail moved as his silver hair when he spins around in circles, allowing the snow to stir beneath his feet. His hair began to tangle, but today was special day. It was Christmas Eve. December 24th.

"Sesshomaru it is time to come in." He heard his father. This made him frown, he turns to walk into the house as his father started to smile, and he turns back around from the doorway.

'I don't want to come in' was his only thought on this. It was Christmas Eve, for then he should be outside running around making snow demons out of snow. He started to hear crunches from the snow, telling him someone was running behind him. He did not bother to smell the air, for he smelled of snow. He brought his hand up as soon as small little spark of lighting came from his finger, he turn around to find a small little boy with silver hair, with puppy ears on top of his head.

He watch as the little ones ears twitch and the frighten eyes started to have tears. "I am sorry elder brother, I had wished to come and play with you." His head turn down to look at the snow that disturbed by his elder brother.

Sesshomaru sighs, it was Christmas Eve and to know his father would never forgive him if he did not start getting along with his little brother. "Come Inuyasha, father had called me in and he would cut my tail to know you are outside in the snow this late in the night." Sesshomaru said slowly, he grabbed Inuyasha claws along with his and walked back to the castle.

"Sesshomaru, can't we stay for a few minuets outside."

"No, if it makes you feel better I will tell you a silly little story." He said, he look down to find Inuyasha smiling at him, he scoff at the sight of his little brother, but nothing more.

They came in, and soon it was Inuyasha time to go to bed, he wine and he cry saying he wanted to see Santa, but his father allow him to know that Santa can't come if he and everyone was up, making Inuyasha settle down. He eyes his father, and his brother, they soon was ready to turn and leave, but soon as their father left "Elder Brother, you going to tell me a story?"

His brother sigh, Sesshomaru did not want to caught, but he did. He turns around and sat down next to his brother, "OK, lets began." He looks at his brother nerves, he did not know what to tell when it came to stories, but this time he knew:

"There was once a little girl demon, she didn't believe in Santa, she wasn't even a good little girl,"

"Why was she not good?" Inuyasha asked

"Inuyasha be quiet," he sighs and started once again, "the girl was never happy she never smiled because she had a brother who was not what she was. She felt disgrace by this and so left her home, knowing her parents were going to worry. During this time, it was December 24, and she needed to find out why life took a turn as it did. She killed innocent people, she soon on this December day, someone visited her.

"She sat down hunch over a tree trying to keep warm, she look up into the sky and stars started to twinkle, "Why god, why did you allow what you did?" Soon a man who started to laugh, only said, "Because you are loved more the twice a day, you have love now three. Do not allow your heart to be cold on this Christmas Eve." The girl look up to find a large man who wore red, and a snow-white beard, "Your family misses you young child," He said.

"Why should I care? They did not when they brought my little brother into the world, how they disgrace the family name."

"Maybe because love had happen young child, have you thought of that?"

'The girl thought about that, why had not she thought about love before? True her parents loved her, but now she had a little brother to love on, someone to play with and wrestle with. "I am lucky am I?" She said looking down at the snow cover ground. "May I ask your name?" She asked her question. He laughs, "They call me Santa Clause, and I am Father Christmas it seems." That is when he disappeared, she knew then what to do, she must return home and change her ways. She knew then she had done wrong, and that she was a lucky demon, she has love at home waiting for her."

Sesshomaru turn to find his young companion asleep, sure over 140 years had pass since he told that story to his younger brother when they were just a small kids. "Lord Sesshomaru, the story true isn't it? The girl was a boy and the boy was you." Little girl Said

"Yes Rin, I had learn that night I was happy to learn I had love."

"Then why Change Lord Sesshomaru if you found out you had love?" Rin asked.

Sesshomaru was quiet now, he change because he wished for the sword of the Earth, and not Heaven. "Please go to sleep." He turn around and started walking. He stops to look up into the sky like before when he was just a kid.

"Great I took a wrong turn." Sesshomaru turn around to find Inuyasha behind him.

"Damn, it is you just what I need, Sesshomaru ugly mug." As Inuyasha said this Sesshomaru said no words to him, making him mad.

"Inuyasha,"

"Let me guess you want me to die."

"No, you remember that story I told you?"

"The one the little girl yea," that's when Inuyasha notice it, after all this time, Inuyasha face look down at the ground and his ears went to his head. Sesshomaru turn around, he remembered his brother looking that way.

"Merry Christmas," Sesshomaru noticing it was now Christmas looking up at the moon.

"Merry Christmas Brother," Inuyasha eyes moved to his brother face. "Sesshomaru, the little girl in the story is you correct"

"It seems to be," He turn around and walk away from his brother. It was now Christmas and he did not wish to fight on the day his father had loved so much, but Sesshomaru stopped and look up to the sky once more. He heard the little voices of two children notice one his own.

"Sesshomaru"

"Yes"

"I love you, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas to you to Inuyasha"
