A Little Taste of Christmas
Talk about the wrong time of year to teach the boys about the holidays from the future. Kagome's mom has taken this assignment head on. After explaining it she takes them out shopping. Of course she'll probably be paying bills all year long. Anyway they discovered they could all travel through the well after acquiring a shikon jewel
"I have the perfect present for Kasumi. I bought it in that store over there.☺" Alexander tells Shippo.
"Really? Let me see" Shippo says.
"No, everyone has to wait until Christmas to see her present and your own"
"Well, do you think Tsuki will like this toy?" Shippo shows him a top.
"That's so cute you're getting something for Tsukiko." Kagome's mom, who I've named Mae, tickles Shippo under his chin. "She'll love it!"
"I hope so. I need one more toy though . . . maybe he likes cars as much as I do" Shippo puts the present in the shopping cart.
"I don't know what to get Kagome." Inuyasha sits on the floor Indian style.
"Really? I didn't have a hard time getting her something.☺" Alex waves a bag in Inuyasha's face.
"Let me see" Inuyasha reaches for the bag and Alex pulls it up.
"I guess you don't know her enough to get her something she'll like and enjoy.☺"
"Come on! Let me see!" Inuyasha says reaching up like a child to take a peek.
"No" Alex says moving the bag up more.
"I demand you let me see!" Inuyasha yells trying to grab it as Alex skips away like a little girl. Inuyasha is about to draw the Tetsusaiga but Mae holds his hand. She tries to make him leave it but he refuses. She lets go and he fixes his sexy hat.
"Boys! Please stop People are beginning to stare. " Mae demands.
"Let them look!"
"Oh you want to make a big scene huh Inuyasha well go ahead. And don't expect any desert tonight do you understand?"
"Yes ma'am☹" Inuyasha looks down at the floor and begins to kick it gently.
"She's got you whooped!☺" Alexander says as he makes his way back 'Damn MTV' he thinks to himself.
"Tell me about it☹" Inuyasha says
"Hey maybe Kagome would like some of those shinny things." Alex says as he points at a store.
"That's a jewelry store Alex" Kagome's mom Mae says.
"What does that mean?" Inuyasha asks.
"Tiffany's" They all walk that way even though Miroku hasn't returned
It's Christmas Eve! Gramps, Kagome's mom Mae and Sota have left town to visit some family leaving the kids there . . . alone! (☼) Everyone is around the tree but Miroku's son who is sleeping in his crib. Light Christmas music plays in the back round as a fire burns in the fire place Kasumi is looking at the watch, that's hanging on the wall, with Kagome.
"Can we open them now?☹" Shippo insists.
"No. We have to wait until twelve" Kagome says.
"How come?"
"Because it's tradition"
"One min-" Kasumi begins to say but then she is stopped by a voice.
"I've had it with your stupid traditions!" Inuyasha leaps toward the tree.
"Sit boy!" Kagome yells. Inuyasha is flat on the floor like a pancake. ( HEHE a big pancake)
"Kagome!☹"
"You guys can open them now☺" Kasumi says but no one moves.
"Kagome, why the hell did you do that for? I think you are taking advantage of this rosary"
"Stop being such a baby."
"Hello? It's midnight" Kasumi says waving her hands in front of everyone's faces.
"Mommy!" Tsuki says showing her mom the present Shippo had bought for her.
"♪❤How cute!❤♪" At this point everyone breaks out of their trans and starts to open their presents.
Sango, Kagome and Kasumi gently open theirs, but the way the boys are opening them is just scary. Inuyasha almost claws Miroku when Miroku picks up the wrong present. Shippo on the other hand takes things into his own hands and is civilized when throwing the Christmas ornaments at everyone who gets in his way. Shippo clobbers poor Alex in the face with little baby Jesus. When Sango opens what Miroku gave her she turns completely red. Alex hands Kasumi her present. Shippo starts to teach Tsuki how to use her toy after he finishes unwrapping his presents. He makes two piles, one with the stuff he likes and the other with the things he's going to return. As Kasumi opens her present Kagome sits next to her.
"Alex! Are you insane?" Alex stares profoundly at Kasumi and smiles.
"I told the lady at Victoria's Secret that the present was for my girlfriend and she said you would like this.☺"
"Hehe Hehe" Kagome also looks down at the present.
"I thought of you wearing it for me Kasumi☺"
"Oh great" Inuyasha says after catching a glimpse "another Miroku moment"
"What?" Miroku walks toward them and to his surprise "You went to Victoria's Secret too?☺"
"Poor Sango☺" Kasumi whispers to Kagome.
"Miroku, you gave me a hat."
"To go with the sweater Alexander gave you ☺ "
"Oh, well that explains why they match . . . a little too much☺"
"I almost bought you something similar to what I got for Sango☺"
"What? I should kill you!" Inuyasha runs after Miroku and they leave the room as Inuyasha chases him.
"I want to see who wins" Alex runs after them as fast as he can, while carrying a bag of chips he grabbed from the table.
"Sango" Kasumi says "Let me see yours"
"You show me yours first☹" Sango says sitting on the other side of Kasumi. Kasumi pulls out a light pink see-through piece of lingerie and a light pink thong that goes with it.
"Hmm☹" Sango pulls out a similar piece of lingerie and thong. It's red and looks almost the same as Kasumi's.
"They're just trying to be romantic☺" Kagome assures them.
"By being perverts?" Kasumi closes her box.
"No"
"You heard what Alex told Kasumi" Sango says.
"About her in the lingerie?" Kagome asks.
"Yeah"
"Hmm" Kasumi stares at her lingerie. "It is kind of sweet☺"
"No it's not" Sango says.
"I wish Inuyasha would've done something like that for me☹" Kagome says.
"YOU WANT HIM TO GIVE YOU LINGERIE?" Sango and Kasumi yell. (☼)
"No"
"What did he get you?" Kasumi asks.
"Nothing, there was nothing from him to me under the tree☹" Kagome answers.
"Oh☹Maybe he's waiting for the right moment"
"Kasumi, how would one wear one of these things?" Sango asks as she holds up her thong. Kasumi begins to cry from the laughter this question provokes. Sango just blushes.
"It's easy" Kasumi says after awhile. "Where did Kagome go?"
"She was here a minute ago."
Meanwhile outside Kagome is sitting on a bench and the song ONLY HOPE starts to play
"Things have changed too much. Maybe he's changed his mind about me. I should try to forget about this love we have forged . . . well the love I have forged in my imagination . . .How many times haven't I tried to forget Inuyasha but my heart longs for him" Kagome says in a low whisper as she looks up at the ancient tree where she had first met Inuyasha.
"Kagome" Inuyasha calls as he walks outside
"Yeah?"
"You should go inside it's cold out here"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me☹"
"Ok" Inuyasha is about to walk away, but then turns to Kagome "I wanted to wait until later but I guess this is a good a time as any to give you your present☺" Inuyasha sits next to Kagome.
"What is it?☺"
"My heart☺"
"Your heart?"
"Here" Inuyasha hands Kagome a little velvet heart-shaped box.
"Inuyasha?"
Meanwhile, inside Miroku and Alex are spying on them from the window
"She looks like she's about to freak☺" Alex tells Miroku as he passes the bag of chips.
"Just watch"
"Miroku let's sneak outside and listen."
"What are you boys doing?" Kasumi asks as she lovingly hugs Alex from behind.
"Damn our plans are ruined☹" Miroku says.
"Plans?" Sango asks.
"Don't worry about it girls" Alex says.
"Well, I found Kagome☺" Kasumi says.
"Yeah Inuyasha is proposing. But he doesn't know it yet☺"
"INUYASHA IS DOING WHAT?" Kasumi yells. (☼)
Alex covers her mouth and she tries to fight him. Alex kisses her neck gently putting her in a daze as his hand brushes against her waist. Miroku and Sango just look at them and then back outside. Where Kagome is holding the box
"Open it☺" Inuyasha says.
"Ok☺" Kagome opens the box and her eyes open wide as she looks at the diamond engagement ring.
"I hope it fits."
"Inuyasha . . . Yes I will marry you!❤☺❤"
"What?" Inuyasha backs away but Kagome manages to hug him after she places the ring on her finger. "No wonder her mother started crying"
"Did you say something Inuyasha?" Kagome looks up still hugging him.
"Uh no"
"I can't believe it! I was beginning to have doubts about our love . . ." Kagome lets go of Inuyasha "Not even Miroku has the guts to ask Sango to marry him, and they have a son. There are a lot of things he will do but marriage just isn't for him, I always thought it was the same way with you. I'm just so happy that you asked me!❤☺❤" Kagome pulls Inuyasha down to her and kisses him.
"Hmm but we won't get married until Naraku is defeated and you finish school"
"Alright!"
"It's a deal then Kagome?"
"I said alright" Inuyasha takes Kagome into an embrace and brushes his lips against hers. The small innocent kiss turns into a fierce kiss where the two lovers fight for control. (This happens too often) Control of their emotions and each other.
Inside, Miroku, Sango, Kasumi and Alex are dying of laughter on the floor. They quickly make their way back to the living room where light holiday music has been playing all day long. Sango enters first, then Miroku. Alex with his arm around Kasumi stops in the door way
"Mistletoe☺" Alex says looking up.
"Who put that there?" Kasumi asks looking up as well.
"I did?☺"
"Hehehe☺" Alex dives in and kisses Kasumi.
"Sango" Miroku says.
"Yes what do you want you lecherous monk?"
"Mistletoe☺" Miroku has a piece of mistletoe stuck on a plastic head band and he sits next to her so it hangs over them. When he's going to kiss her she runs. Miroku running after her drops the mistletoe where Shippo and Tsuki are playing. "Sango don't run away! I mean we have a kid together so what's so wrong with a little mistletoe action?☹"
"You're such a pervert! All we had was a fling!☹" Kasumi and Alex laugh watching them run around the room. Sango runs toward the door so they move out of the way. Miroku rushes after her
"Wait up Sango!☹"
"Those two are silly☺" Kasumi says.
"Tell me about it.☺" Alex says. "Hey look more mistletoe."
"Oh dear" Kasumi says with a chuckle and they kiss.
"Tsuki . . . What's the big deal with this mistletoe thing that makes them all crazy like that?" Shippo asks holding it up.
"Doggy!☺" Tsuki says pointing at Shippo.
"Hmmm . . . Why are they all acting so weird when they stand under it?"
"Doggy!☺" Tsuki says with a chuckle of joy.
"Let's see . . ." Shippo puts the mistletoe over Tsuki "Do you mind?"
"Doggy!☺"
"I'm a fox . . . but what would you know?☹" Shippo kisses Tsuki. "That explains it" Tsuki's eyes widen and she tips over playfully.
"So when are you going to marry me, little lady?☺" Alex asks after he stops kissing Kasumi.
"Oh you silly goose☺"
"What's so silly about me wanting to marry you?☹"
"I think Shippo and Tsuki need to go to sleep" She walks toward the kids and picks Tsuki up. She then walks toward the bedroom.
"Why do we have to go to bed?☹" Shippo asks walking after Kasumi.
"Because Shippo" Kasumi says picking him up after she places Tsuki in her crib.
"Because you want to kiss some more?☺" Shippo asks as they enter the room.
"Yes Shippo, because I want to kiss Kasumi some more under the mistletoe.☺" Alex says entering the room
"Oh"
"He's only playing" Kasumi says helping Shippo into his pajamas. She tucks Shippo in and kisses him on the forehead . "Good night Shippo"
"Good night" Kasumi makes her way to the crib where Alex is tucking Tsuki in.
"Mama!☺" Tsuki says as her mom hovers over the crib.
"Good night sweety" Kasumi says then going to the other crib checking on Sango and Miroku's son.
"Good night Shippo" Alex says. The couple make it to the door.
"Have fun kissing☺" Shippo says.
"I will☺" Alex says.
"Alex!" Kasumi squeals.
"I mean we will☺"
"Oh brother" Kasumi says and the two leave, closing the door behind them.
"Good night Tsuki" Shippo says.
"Night night doggy☺" Tsuki says.
Meanwhile in the livingroom.
"This was a great Christmas☺" Kagome tells Inuyasha.
"Too bad auntie Mae, gramps and Sota went out of town.☹" Kasumi says as she enters with Alex.
"Even without them it's been the best I've had☺" Alex says as he sits.
"It's the only one you've had."
"Yeah, so, that's why it's the best. I can't wait until next year"
"Stop chasing me Miroku!☹" Sango's voice is heard and the two couples begin to laugh.
"I can't believe he's still chasing her" Kasumi says in a chuckle
"I think there is absolutely too much mistletoe in the house." Kagome says.
"What do you mean?" Alex asks.
"He got her when we were coming inside and in the kitchen. We can only wonder how many other times he's gotten her" Inuyasha adds. Kasumi holds in her laughter as she snuggles up on Alex's lap. She looks at Inuyasha who has his arm around Kagome. She turns to face Alex and kisses him making him put his arms around her.
"So when are you taking Tsuki to see her dad?" Alex asks after the kiss Kasumi's head is resting on his chest.
" . . . Never"
"Why?"
"He doesn't deserve to see her"
"But it's Christmas a time that should be spent with friends and family"
"He's not considered family in this house" Inyasha looks at Kasumi as she says this.
"Well, I think you should take her" Kagome says.
"Me? Why me?"
"You are the runts mother" Inuyasha tells her.
"So, it doesn't mean I have to be the one to take her if she were to go. Besides it's not like he would remember it's Christmas it was a long time ago I told him about it."
"I'd take her if I were you. Heck I'd take Alex with me too and show Sesshoumaru I've moved on." Sango says entering the room.
"Me?" Alex looks out the window "Why did she have to get me involved?"
"I got you!☺" Miroku says grabbing Sango and spinning her so she faces him.
"Nooo you lecherous monk!☹" Sango yells out and everyone starts to laugh as Miroku kisses Sango.
"You do what you want sweety." Alex says kissing her on the forehead. 'As long as it doesn't involve me having to meet him. I'd kick his ass though'☺ he thinks to himself
"It is my decision to make after all." Kasumi says, cuddling with him. Sango sits far away from Miroku when they finish kissing, and looks paranoid.
"That's the way things should be☺" Miroku says.
"What are you talking about monk?" Sango asks.
"That's how we should be" Miroku points at the two couples.
"Is it my fault you freak me out?"
"Gee you didn't say that when our son was conceived"
"I had a lot of time to think between then and now"
"Alex" Kasumi says.
"Yes?"
"Do you really want me to wear that present for you?☺"
"Of coarse!☺" Everyone stares at them.
"Nooo!☹" Inuyasha yells. He covers his ears and puts his head between his legs in a fetal position.
"Inuyasha what's wrong?" Kagome asks startled because he let go of her so sudden she moves over a bit.
"Mental Image!☹"
"Really?☺" Alex is excited.
"Alex!" Kasumi yells hitting him gently on the chest. He ignores it though it hurt him. She just sits on his lap and looks over at Inuyasha.
"Ha, I wanna know what's she's doing Inuyasha☺"
"Stop!☹" Kasumi yells and everyone laughs, but her and Inuyasha.
"So, Inuyasha what is Kasumi doing in this mental im-ahh" Kasumi covers his mouth and she struggles trying to keep it there, making him lay down on the couch. They fight playfully her hand still on his mouth as she laughs.
"Oh brother ☹" Inuyasha says sitting up straight. Kagome yawns. "You should go to bed."
"It's so late." Sango says. Kasumi is now lying on the couch and Alex is sitting with her head on his lap and he runs his finger through her hair. Kasumi yawns.
"Don't tell me you're tired too.☹" Alex says.
"It's late hun" Kasumi says.
"Then you won't see the second part of my present ☹."
"Honey, you really have gotten into the Christmas spirit haven't you?"
"Of coarse"
"That's not all he's into" Inuyasha says rolling his eyes and putting his arm around Kagome again kissing her.
"Heh . . . Kinky!☺" Miroku looks across the room at Sango
"I'm going to bed. Good night everyone" Kagome says, after the kiss, as she leaves the room.
"I'm going too" Kasumi says and her and Alex get up.
"Good night everyone." Alex says as he and Kasumi leave the room holding hands. They walk down the hall and soon are right in front of Kasumi's room.
"Where do you think you're going?" Kasumi asks as she is about to open the door.
"Just look inside.☺"
"Ok" Kasumi opens the door. "Oh Lord spare me!"
"What do you think?☺"
"Were you planning on getting a little extra gift tonight? Because this will definitely do it for you☺"
"Yeah well a guys gotta be romantic right?"
They enter the room. Kasumi's bed has a giant heart made out of rose pedals and the room smells great. There are candles everywhere and some rose pedals are thrown around the room. There is mistletoe every where too heeheeheehee
"I can't wait to see what you do for Valentine's Day☺" Kasumi says.
"Valentine's Day?" Alex ask.
"I'll tell you about that later" Kasumi pulls Alex down to her and kisses him.
Meanwhile in the livingroom
"Good night" Sango says getting up. Miroku follows. "Stop following me☹"
"Why☹"
"You'll try to kiss me again☹" The two exit the room and only their voices are heard throughout the hall.
"You know it was as good for you as it was for me.☺"
"Yeah sure whatever monk☹"
"You know you liked it ☺"
"Sarcastically Oh yeah I loved it . . . I got sooo turned on☺"
"Really?"
"No!"
"Liar"
"Good night Miroku" They are at Sango's bedroom door.
"So you going to wear my present for me tonight?☺"
"No Miroku. Go away you lecherous monk."
"Alright. I know when I'm not wanted.☹"
"You could have fooled me"
Miroku heads for his room as Sango enters hers. Meanwhile Inuyasha is alone in the living room. The fire in the fireplace is almost out.
"Silly holiday" Inuyasha just stares at the Christmas tree. "Why does everyone get so excited over it? . . . Hmm . . . What now? Is there anything left for me to do? How do I tell Kagome I wasn't asking her to marry me? Should I tell her at all?. What am I going to do? . . . What am I giving up? . . . . At least I gave myself a couple of years. Maybe she'll forget I even asked her to marry me . . . though I think that's a hard thing to forget" Inuyasha gets up from the couch and turns off the radio.
❤❤ Inuyasha ends up going to bed. Time passes and soon it was New Years Eve. The drunken Sango spends the night with Miroku, which I guess is one of those things they'll both end up regretting, like when their son was conceived heh heh heh. Anyways, at the strike of midnight Alex and Kasumi, Inuyasha and Kagome share their first kiss of the new year. Days later the crew returns on their mission to gather the jewel shards and defeat Naraku, with Alex on their side. Kasumi stays behind for awhile, she says she will join them later. Soon January comes rolling by. They throw little Tsukiko the biggest first birthday ever. Though Kasumi is enjoying herself, she wishes that Sesshoumaru could be there . . . at least she has Alex by her side. Next story is called February's Anguish doo doo doo doo doo daaa❤❤
