Ending of last chapter:

When they got inside everyone was already in the living room drinking hot chocolate. Kagome's mother handed Inuyasha two cups of hot chocolate for him and Kagome. Inuyasha laid them on the table next to the couch and then sat down. Kagome was about to sit on the floor next to Inuyasha when he pulled her into his lap. Kagome picked up there hot chocolates and handed one to Inuyasha. They rest of the group was just sitting around talking. The phone rang next to Kagome and she went to pick it up.

" Hello.."

Chapter18 Christmas is Coming

"Hey Kagome!" A cheerful voice spoke.

"Hi Andrea, what are you up to?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha's ears perked up from underneath his hat.

"Nothing, you will never guess where I'm too."

"Where?"

"I can't tell you that, but you got to come see us right now." Andrea said quickly.

"Who's us, and I got friends over."

"Bring them with you, there should be a taxi parked outside your door right now." Kagome

motioned Inuyasha to look out the window and to see if there was something out there.

Inuyasha nodded his head and got up. When he looked out the window a yellow taxi bus was waiting outside. Inuyasha looked at Kagome, with a very surprised look on his face.

"Amazing Andrea, but what..."

"We'll answer all you questions when you get here ok. The roads have been cleared so you should have any trouble getting here. Oh bring your family too. Bye" With that Kagome hung up the phone and looked at her friends and family.

"Kagome what's going on?" Hojo asked.

"I'm not sure but we'll find out soon enough. So come lets go."

"Where are we going Sis?" Sota asked.

"Again Sota I don't know." Kagome's mother went to talk to her father to see if he wanted to come but he did not. The group had never seen such a large taxi. It could hold easily seven people and 8 if you squeezed someone in. The windows were tinted, and by the look of it the taxi wasn't that old.

Everyone piled into the taxi and they were off. Margaret sat in the front seat next to the driver, Eri, Yuka, Sota and Ayumi sat in the middle and Kagome Inuyasha and Hojo sat in the back. Kagome sat next to the window and Inuyasha sat next to her. Hojo for once didn't even say or do anything, he seemed to be back to normal. Kagome hoped that he would be like this for the rest of her vacation. About 20 minutes later they arrived in front of a private mansion, and it was rarely used by its owner. It was about two stories high, and almost as long as a football field. If it wasn't so cold out, the fountain in the front yard would be on. Kagome thought they must be at the wrong place, she didn't even know the owner of the mansion. The driver stopped at the front doors. Andrea, and Aalyah soon came busting through the the big oak doors, just as everyone was out of the bus.

"Welcome everyone, I'm so happy that you're here." Andrea said cheerfully.

"Andrea you sound like a greeter." Aalyah said while laughing at her best friend. "Hi my name is Aalyah and you guys must be Kagome friends."

"Ya I'm Eri, this is Yuka, Ayumi, and Hojo."

"Well its nice to meet you. Now lets get inside before we freeze our asses off."

"Follow me." Andrea said.

They started their way into the house, when everyone stopped at the door. It was amazing. The floors were made of marble, the walls were covered in priceless paintings and everything looked, well, rich. A man came behind the group and shut the door. Everyone took off their winter gear, except Inuyasha who kept on his toque, and followed Aalyah and Andrea into another room just off the main hall. It was like a living room, and in front of the fire sat none other then Sesshomaru. His wife sat right next time him, and on a big sofa sat Marcus and Jordan. Both Aalyah and Andrea went and took seats next to their boyfriends.

"Sit down, everyone." Amy said. ( Sesshomaru's wife if you have forgotten.)

"Oh my god, you're Doctor Histomaby." Eri cried.

" That I am." Sesshomaru replied calmly.

"Umm I don't mean to be rude but what's going on?" Kagome asked.

"Andrea didn't you tell Kagome why we asked her up here." Sesshomaru asked sternly.

"I may have left out a few details." Andrea said meekly.

"Well then Kagome, I'm sure you must be wondering what's going on. Well my family owns this mansion and have been coming here for years, without other people knowing. This year I decided that my wife and I would come up here for Christmas, with our son and his girlfriend." Sesshomaru said.

"We also brought our adopted son and his girlfriend." Amy said, while her son and buddy started to laugh. ( He's not really their son, but Jordan and Mike are so close that it is as if they were brothers.)

"I wanted to check up on you and see how you are progressing." Sesshomaru cut off his son's laughter. " But now that you're here, I think you should go and have some fun with your friends.

"Jordan why don't you take them to the pool." Sesshomaru suggested.

"Great idea dad. Ok everyone follow me." Jordan commanded.

Margaret sat down on the sofa, and watched the younger ones leave the living room. As soon as she knew Inuyasha's ears and the other demons wouldn't hear her she asked the question that needed to be asked.

"Sesshomaru, what's wrong? I know you don't make house calls and I'm sure you aren't really here on vacation, you are a very busy man." Margaret stated.

"Margaret I assure you nothing is wro.."

"Sesshomaru you know as well as I do that there is something your not telling me or my daughter. I was married to a business man and I know that it took months for him to plan a vacation because of his schedule, and I also know it is the same way for you. It is not possible for you to just get up and leave work. Now start talking." Margaret demanded.

"I see why you and my wife are such close friends. The reason why we..."

On the other side of the mansion everyone was entering the pool room. Kagome looked a rounded, it was just like something you would see off a movie or something. There was a small living room, an kitchen, a change room, and a huge bath room. Jordan walked towards the change room and motioned the guys to follow him. Him and the fellows would get changed first and then the girls could use the change room. As Mike and Hojo, passed Inuyasha to go into the change room, Mike slipped something into his pocket. Inuyasha noticed this and put his hand into his pocket. He pulled out a small ball of paper. He opened it, it was a note with a small chain in it.

Uncle Inuyasha,

Put this chain on and your demonic features will be covered by an illusion. This will make sure Hojo and any of Kagome other friends will not suspect anything.

Jordan

'Uncle? Wait I'm an uncle, its going to take some time to get used to that. ' Inuyasha thought, as he put the chain around his neck, as he entered the room.

"Hey un..Inuyasha, what color trunks do you want?" Jordan asked.

"Couldn't care."

"Well then red it is."

A few minutes later the boys exited the change room, to see all the girls laughing and giggling on the floor in the living room. Kagome looked at the boys, Mike was wear dark blue swim trunks, Jordan was wearing a black pair that had red trim on them, Hojo had on an orange pair. Sota had a green trunks on, and Inuyasha was wearing red pair of trunks. Kagome looked him up and down, then she gasped his ears were gone. Instead he had human ears, no claws, and Kagome couldn't see his fangs any more. Inuyasha mouthed the words 'We'll talk later' to her. The girls stopped their conversations and drooled over the guys. Aalyah got up and walked over to her man, Jordan, and wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed her on the lips. They broke apart and he told her to take care of the girls. She nodded her head and walked towards the changing room. Kagome got up and followed her and then the rest of the girls did as well. Andrea and Aalyah went into another small room and came back with different types of bathing suits. All the girls ran towards them.

15 Minutes later

Aalyah came out into to the pool area were the boys were now doing canon balls. She had a towel wrapped around her, and a wicked smile on her face.

"Listen up boys, we have a special treat for you, a little fashion show. Now get over here and sit down before I get pissed." Aalyah started to walk back into the pool room, but then she turned around. " We call this wonderful fashion show, Cold Shower!" Just as she finish saying the name of their show she dropped her towel to reveal what she was wearing.

"First we start off with me." Aalyah was wearing a black bikini, with red trim. The bottom were boy shorts, that revealed a little more of he ass then her boyfriend wanted people to see. Aalyah did a small twirl, and then slid into the water next to Jordan. He wrapped his arm around her protectively. " I love it." He whispered in her ear, Aalyah grinned at him.

"Next we have the beautiful Eri."Aalyah spoke from Jordans protective grip. Eri came out wearing an orange one piece suit that had a very low back in it. She blow a kiss at the boys and then got into the pool as well.

"Now we have the sexy Andrea." Andrea walked out of the pool room wearing a light blue tankini. It had a halter top, that was cut low in the front, and the bottoms tied at each side. It fit her curves perfectly. Mike whistled at her, she blushed a little. She strutted towards the boys turned around and then looked back at them. She winked and then walked back to the pool and got in. She swam over to Mike and kissed him on the cheek.

"Is that what you call a kiss? " He asked playfully. Andrea giggled and kissed him on the lips.

"Your look to damn hot to be my girlfriend." He whispered in her ear, Andrea giggled.

"Following Andrea we have, both Yuka and Ayumi." Both girls came out in matching pink bikinis. The straps came up around the girls necks and then cris, crosse at the back and the bottoms were almost to low to be considered bathing suits. Both looked like models in their suits. They did a little dance and then jumped into the pool.

"Last we have the hot, and sexy Kagome." Kagome walked into the room. She wore a green bikini it also had a halter top with spaghetti strings, and on each side of the bottom were to rings holding it together. Inuyasha blushed at the sight of Kagome with such little clothes on. Sure he had seen her naked by accident before, but right now she was standing almost half naked right in front of everyone. You could see little scars and buries from the past week, because she had taken off the bandage that covered her side. It seemed as if it was now only a scar. That also seemed to be disappearing. She did a little twirl and then dove into the pool, she surfaced next to Inuyasha. The guys were still in shock as the girls swam around them.

"Something wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked waving her hands in front of his eyes. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome around the waist and pulled her into a passionate kissed. Kagome melted into his arms and deepened the kiss. Inuyasha pinned her to the side of the pool, his hands were tangled in her hair...

"Get a room." Jordan shouted from across the pool, they all had swam away from them.

Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha and blushed a deep red, she had completely forgotten about her friends. Inuyasha growled but then he smiled. He looked at Kagome, she too started to smile, both broke out into laughter. The rest of the group started to laugh with them. Neither of them really sure about why they were laughing. Kagome looked into Inuyuaha eyes, they had changed so much then when she had first met him. The day they had first met his eyes were full with hatred, sadness and anger. Now they only held love, passion, and happiness.

"Inuyasha where are you ears?" Kagome questioned, low enough so no one else could hear them.

"See this chain sound my neck, it hides my demonic features and with an illusion."

"I miss your ears already."

"They wont be gone long."

"You look hot." Inuyasha hissed playfully in Kagome's ear.

Kagome blushed and started to swim away from Inuyasha and towards her friends. He followed right behind her.

"So what game do you want to play?" Sota asked.

"I want to have a diving competition." Eri yelled.

"You always want to have some type of competition!" Yuka said to Eri.

"So." She snapped back.

"Naw, lets play Marco Polo." Aalyah suggested.

"I think it's a plan." Andrea added.

"Ok sounds good but how do we pick who goes first?" Yuka asked.

"I"ll be it." Mike offered.

Everyone agreed and the game begun. Inuyasha floated above the water for a little while and watched everyone one else. He saw Kagome dive into the water and then pop up again next to Jordan. He smiled and then joined in with his friends, he hadn't felt so happy in his entire life. Not even when he was with Kikyou. Mike had now cornered Andrea, she started to giggle as Mike tickled. She gave and it was her turn to be it.

"Mike that was unfair. You were only looking to catch me." Andrea pouted.

"Ya because I love seeing you pout."

"Well I guess I can't argue with that." Andrea smiled and call Marco.

An hour later

"...so that's why we are here." Sesshomaru finished.

"We shouldn't keep this from Kagome and Inuyasha much longer. I think we should call on them right now and explain everything." Margaret said.

"If that is what you think is right then, that's what we will do." Sesshomaru said.

"I think I will go get them myself." Margaret got up and walked towards the door.

"Terry will show you the way." Amy commanded. Terry appeared from no where and lead Margaret to her daughter and future son in law.

A few minutes later Margaret was by the pool watching her daughter having fun with her boyfriend and friends. She didn't really want to break bad news to her now but there was nothing she could do about it. If Kagome didn't know soon, it could cost her, her life. Margaret walked right up to the edge of the pool and called her daughters name. Kagome turned around and saw her mom by the pools edge, and right as she was about to swim to her she was caught by Sota. Sota looked up and now could see his mom, he backed away from his sister and swam towards Eri and the others. Kagome swam to her mother, they spoke for a couple of seconds and then Kagome motioned Inuyasha to come with her. Both of them got out of the pool, wrapped a towel around themselves and followed Terry back to the living room.

As soon as Kagome and Inuyasha were both settled on the couch, still in their towels, Sesshomaru started to speak to them. Inuyasha wrapped his hand around Kagome's. He could tell from Margaret's aurora that something wasn't as perfect as Sesshomaru had lead them to think.

"I'm sorry to take you away from your friends, but there is something very important that we need to discuss." Sesshomaru started. Kagome's breathing started to speed up.

"Spit it out." Inuyasha growled.

"The real reason I came here is that there is another demon after Kagome."

Kagome started to laugh interrupting Sesshomaru.

"A demon, I thought I was dying or something." Kagome giggled, she was about to get up and leave but Inuyasha stayed put.

"This is no laughing matter Kagome. This demon has it in for you, he will stop at nothing to get you. He is able to take on any appearance, and can take over your soul. He could be controlling your friends, and you might not even know it. He only wants you because you're the last living pure Miko left in the world. If he gets his hands on you the whole world will perish." Sesshomaru paused for a moment to let it all sink in.

"What do you mean perish? Your still not telling us something brother." Inuyasha looked at his mate. She was staring into the fire across the room.

"Dear you need to tell them everything." Amy urged her mate on.

"I was just letting them think for a moment Amy." Sesshomaru looked at his mate, and then back to Inuyasha and Kagome. " This must all be so confusing for you, but it's really quiet simple. This demon only wants Kagome for her powers. I know Kagome, you're thinking, my powers would be useless to a demon, but in reality the aren't. You have so much power locked inside your body that I am surprised that you haven't unleashed them yet on Inuyasha. You will discover how to use them soon enough, but if this thing takes over your soul, and unlocks these powers he will destroy the world we live in. This world has been protected for over 500 years..."

'Has been?' Kagome thought.

"How do we know he is not in one of your bodies right now?" Inuyasha asked, slightly pulling Kagome closer to him.

"The chain you wear right now is keeping him from your soul, and plus you are to stubborn to let him do that now dear brother. Kagome we will have one for ourselves in a few moments." Kagome looked at Inuyasha and then back to her mom. She couldn't believe what was happening to her. The survival of the world depended on if her.

"What do I have to do?" Kagome asked looking at Inuyasha.

"Kagome, I will be honest with you. There is nothing you can do but live your life normally, until we catch this demon. We will give all your family and friends chains, just in case." Sesshomaru turned to his wife and then spoke. " Tell Terry that we will need more of those chains by the time my guests leave the house." Amy nodded her head and then left the room.

"Now Margaret why don't I show you around my mansion. We will talk more about this later." Sesshomaru got up and walked towards the door.

"I think that's a wonderful idea." Margaret kissed Kagome on the head and then left the room.

"Inuyasha what are we going to do?" Kagome asked, she looked into Inuyasha's eyes.

"Don't worry my mate nothing will happen to you." Inuyasha kissed Kagome on the lips.

"Lets go get dressed, I don't really want to swim anymore." Kagome hugged Inuyasha, he picked her up in bridal style and carried her out the door.

"Inuyasha I'm quiet capable of walking." Kagome wined.

"I think you should relax for a little while."

"I can relax and walk at the same time you know."

Inuyasha just kept walking, as he walked through one of the halls that lead towards the pool Inuyasha almost banged into Terry. Terry bowed and then handed Kagome a chain and spoke.

"Lord Sesshomaru has prepared a room for you, it should have everything you need, it is on the second floor, the fifth door on your right. I will..." Terry was cut off.

"I'm sure we can manage Terry." Inuyasha walked away from Terry and towards the stairs.

They entered the room a few minutes later. Both nearly drop to the floor. The room was huge, a king size bed stood in the middle of the room. Behind it a window, with black stain curtains, the walls were painted a dark green. The sheets on the bed where white, and there were so many pillows on the bed that you almost wouldn't fit on it. There was a walk in closet and they had there own bathroom. Paintings hung on the wall, along with two mirrors. The follow was cover in an off white colore marble, and had small stones in bedded into it.

Kagome got down from Inuyasha's arms and walked around the room. She couldn't believe that she was standing there. A grin creped onto Kagome's face, she looked at Inuyasha and then leaped towards the bed. Kagome jumped on the bed into the pillows and Inuyasha grabbed a pillow, and a pillow fight began. Kagome was winning she had been able to pin Inuyasha to the bed for a brief second before he flipped her over and pinned her down. He was straddling waist and had her arm pinned above her head.

"Give up?" Inuyasha growled playfully.

"Never."

Inuyasha placed a kiss on Kagome's lips.

"How about now?"

"You think one little kiss is going to make me surrender, you got to be kid.."

Kagome was cut off by Inuyasha mouth, he nibbled on her lower lip. He let go of her arms, Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck, she pulled him closer to him. All she wanted, wan to be closer to him. Inuyasha's hand tangled in Kagome's raven hair. He took in a deep breath of Kagome's scent it drove him wild. Inuyasha deepened the kiss, and his hand started to wander her body. Kagome moaned at his touch, which pleased her mate. Inuyasha untied the top of Kagome's bathing suit. She gasped but never stopped him, their tongues explored each others mouths...

KNOCK KNOCK

Kagome jumped at the sound, someone was at their door. Inuyasha growled and pulled away from Kagome. She already missed the warmth of his body. He walked over to the door and opened it, but he gave Kagome time to tie her top back up. She tried to fix her hair, which was now a total mess, but it was no use. Inuyasha looked at his brother behind the door. He frowned at the sight but then stepped back to allow his brother to enter.

"I just came here to ask you two if you wanted to stay here with us for Christmas. Since Kagome will soon be part of my family, my wife and I thought you should spend Christmas with us." Sesshomaru's face showed one emotion, it held a tint of happiness. Kagome blinked a couple of times but it was still there. She looked at Inuyasha and then to the floor.

"What about my family?"

"Of course they would also stay with us."

"Well I guess we are staying. Is that alright with you Inuyasha?" Kagome looked back to

Inuyasha, he nodded his head and then walked into the bathroom door, and shut the door.

"I will send for your belongings and your grandfather." With that Sesshomaru left the room, but before he could get completely out of the room, Kagome grabbed his arm.

"Thank you so much Sesshomaru, for everything." Kagome eyes were full of tears.

"Kagome there is no need to thank me." Sesshomaru walked down the hall and out of sight.

Inuyasha came out of the wash room, he went over to Kagome, and closed the door.

"No where were we." Inuyasha scooped Kagome up and laid her on the bed. He kissed her lips softy. He left her lips and placed a kiss on her neck, she shrived under his touch.

"Hey Kagome!" Kagome groaned at the sound of her friends voice. Again Inuyasha got off Kagome, he was starting to get pissed off at all the interruptions. He sat next to Kagome, and never said a word

"Come on in Eri."

"Sorry to bother you." Eri blushed at the sight of her friend on the bed with her boyfriend.

"Don't worry Eri, umm we were only talking." Kagome leaned on Inuyasha.

"Are you sure, I"m not bothering you."

"Again Eri, don't worry about it. What's up?"

"Umm we were going to go shopping if you two wanted to come."

"Ok." Inuyasha answered before Kagome had a chance to think.

"Meet us down stairs in 25 minutes. We all have to get a shower before we go."

"Yup." Eri left the room and Kagome got up and went into the washroom. She found some towels under the sink and then undressed, she got into the shower. A few minutes later she was out, she only had a quick shower as to make sure that she would have enough time to get ready. She got out and wrapped a towel around herself and then another one around her hair. She opened the door to the bathroom and found a hanyou waiting for her. He was dressed, but his hair was soaking wet. He had on a pair of black pants, with a red button up shirt, and a pair of basketball sneakers.

"I went and got a shower in the room across the hall."

"Ok, where did you get your clothes?" Kagome asked.

"In the closet, all the clothes in there are made to fit me and you. Pick what you want."

"Wow there is so much to choose from what am I going to wear." Kagome wondered out loud.

"Inuyasha what color, red, blue, yellow or green?" Kagome asked.

"Green." Inuyasha always liked the color green on Kagome, it could be because that's the only color she really wears, but that ok.

Kagome walked out of the closet with a pair of low rider jeans on, and a green long sleeve shirt that had a low V-neck in it. She looked hot, and Inuyasha couldn't help but stare at her. Kagome walked back into the bathroom and dried her hair. She found some make up in a drawer, but she only decided to put on a little bit of lip gloss, also she put on the chain that Sesshomaru had made for her. It was silver and had a small charm on it. She read it, it said " #1.", Kagome was a bit puzzled at why it said that but she guess she would find out at some point. She came out and found Inuyasha on the bed waiting.

"You ready to go mate?" He asked.

"Umhum." Was all he got.

Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand and walked out the door. When they got to the front hall everyone was there waiting. Kagome looked at each person, Eri was wearing a pair of blue cords, and a white short sleeve shit. Yuka was wearing a pair of dark hip hugger jeans, and a orange shirt. Ayumi had on a pair of light blue jeans and a pink shirt. Andrea was wearing tight black pants and a yellow low cut shirt. Aalyah on the other hand was wearing grey pants and a red baby t-shirt. Hojo was wearing blue jeans and a dark blue shirt, and Jordan was wearing black jeans with a brown shit. Last Mike was wearing beige cords, and a button up shirt.

"Come lets go." Jordan said.

Everyone put their coats on and left. A car was waiting outside for them, to take them to the mall. Everyone piled in and the driver took off towards the road. Kagome looked around at all her friends, everyone wore a smile, except for Hojo. She looked away from him, he was the only one willing to ruin her Christmas holidays, but she wasn't going to let him.

"Kagome did you noticed that everyone has a chain on now." Inuyasha whispered in her ear.

"Ya, but none of them look alike."

Inuyasha was going to go buy Kagome a Christmas present while he could get the girls to distract her. He would find the perfect gift, but what that was he was unsure. Inuyasha guessed he would know if he found it. So for now he would just sit back and enjoy the ride to the mall.
