This little section of the chapter is rated M because I say the word "Fuck"! And something else.
"Hmmmmm…." Eyebrow twitches. I was happy with the reviews for this chapter but a certain um, person, and you know who you are, gave me a dissatisfying and one word review. "No." WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN ANYWAY? "No" you don't like the chapter, "No." You hate the story and it does not, in fact, rock your socks, or "no" I really am an ungrateful person who couldn't recognize a great fic if it bit me on the ass?-!-!-! Really the nerve!
But I shall not let that one dim-witted, foolish, ill-advised reader get me down! The ones that actually gave me insightful reviews were—
"OK CUT THE CRAP!" Lai comes on stage waving a script. " Um, 'ill-adivised'? 'Really the nerve'? 'DISTASTEFUL'?"
"Actually I said 'dissatisfying.'"
"WHATEVER!" Lai hands Shel a script. "Quit acting like you have a brain and study this script!"
"I have a script…?"
"You do now!"
…Shel looks at the script. "……" Flips a page. "…I can live with this. AHEM." Shel tosses the script over her head and hits a kitty. "Attention fuckers who didn't like this chapter: DAMN YOU TO HELL! How was that?"
"B-b-better." Lai regrets the script thing now."
"Good. NOW READ AND REVIEW!
--WHEE! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HANUKAH! (Is 1 quarter Jewish) So really…
HAPPY CHRISTMAKAH! Now I'm not sure if the people actually celebrate Christmas like we do with the presents and the other stuff and the fruitcake, but I decided to fast forward things a little bit and have a Christmas Chapter. Just because I'm too lazy to think up a one-shot.
Happy Christmahanukwanzakuh 'n Happy New Year!-!-!-!
Challenge!
Kagome tossed her jacket to the floor and sat down in the closest cheer. "That was awful." Hearing the door open then slam, Souta and Shippo came in to the living room. "What's up, sis?"
Kagome looked up and sighed. "I think I'm prone to disasters. What do you think?"
"I don't know." Souta shrugged. "I don't even know what 'prone' means." Kagome made a face and decided it was better to go upstairs. "sorry you're disaster 'prone'." Souta yelled up the stairs. Kagome ignored it and flopped on her bed. "And in two days, I just have to go back to school and deal with it."
Two days came rather quickly. It seemed more like two minutes had passed, and Kagome was walking back at school. "It could've been worse." Sango said at last. "Ehh…" was Kagome's response and she shrugged. "I really don't see how."
"Someone could've got punched." Sango said, grinning a little, liking the fact that Kouga almost got punched. "He was a boring lifeless shell anyway, Kagome." She added quickly seeing Kagome's disgusted look on her face. She sighed. "Yeah okay."
It was snowing. The last week of December and the countdown until New Years began.
Yay?
Kagome shook her jacket out of the snow and stuffed it in her locker. "Let's just get this day over with." Sango shrugged. "It might not be so bad, Kagome. I mean, do you really think he's going to bother you?"
Kagome shrugged. "I guess not."
"Oh he won't." A locker door slammed shut and InuYasha shook his head and brushed the snow away.
"What did you do?-!" Kagome shrieked. "More importantly, how?" Sango asked.
"I didn't do anything…"
Sango and Kagome stared at him.
"…except talk to him."
"YOU HIT HIM?-!" Kagome shrieked yet again. InuYasha took a step back. "No!"
"…"
"Maybe…"
Sango nodded in approval. "He deserved it. And it is Christmas, a time for giving."
"What, giving him a broken nose?" Kagome replied sarcastically. Sango looked back at up. "Did you?"
"No!"
"…"
"No!"
"…"
"For the last time, no!"
"But you did hit him right?" Sango asked again. Kagome made a face at her. "Encourage him, why don't you?"
"I thought I was."
Kagome turned on him. "Did you make a scene? Because that would make everything so much better!"
"Look, in my defense, there were barely any people around this morning and Miroku and I—."
Kagome twitched. "This morning…?" Sango clapped her hands together. "And Miroku?"
InuYasha blinked. "NO! I mean…maybe…yes…"
Speak of the devil, Miroku decided to join the little group. "What's going on?" Kagome glared at him. "Like you don't know?-! You wouldn't have happened to run into Kouga this morning, would you?"
Miroku thought for a second. "Yes."
Kagome shook her head. "Wait to start off New Years, guys."
Sango was having a New Years party that Saturday so that was something to look forward too.
"I need to know what you want though, Sango." Kagome said as she and Sango were walking home from school. "I didn't get you anything for Christmas."
"You don't have to get me anything Kagome as long as your there."
"How would that work? A Christams party and I don't bring you a gift? Yeah right."
"It's not a Christmas party." Sango corrected but smiled. "Thanks but seriously, as long as you come I don't need anything. Besides, you've been pretty out of it for the past two weeks."
"So?"
"So?" Sango repeated. "I want to help you to snap out of it. You should come early and help me decorate."
"Why, so you can put the mistiltoe in a good place where you and Miroku would likely be?"
"Shh!" Sango gasped. "You don't need to announce in front of the world that I—."
"Absolutely lo-o-o-o-o-ve him?" Kagome laughed and Sango blushed. "I don't love him!"
"Yeah right." Sango denied the fact two more times and Kagome dropped it only to promise she would come and help.
The party night came and Kagome kept her promise and arrived early. She stood outside the house that was supposed to be Sango's. She double checked the address and looked back up at the huge house behind the iron gates. "No way…"
The gates slid open and in awe, Kagome started up the hill to Sango's …well…mansion. "No way…" She repeated.
The door opened as soon as Kagome got on the porch and Sango stood there smiling. "Hey you came!"
Kagome looked behind her shoulder then side ways. "This is your…house?"
Sango nodded. "Why, something wrong?" Kagome shook her head and awkwardly managed to walk in. Her house was huge. Alright, it was an effing mansion!
Who woulda thought?
Sango stood there silently as Kagome took in everything from just the small room they were standing in. "Whoa…"
Sango tugged on her friend's arm and leaded her into the huge living room with a sky-scraping Christmas tree with tons of angel ornaments. The fireplace had a fire lit and the mantle above it was filled with even more angel statues and ornaments that probably would have pulled the tree down.
In other words
Big.
Glass.
Ornaments.
The rest of the room was decorated with fake snow on shelves and paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. "You really went all out on this party thing Sango…" Kagome commented still in awe.
Sango blushed. "Once I get into things I really get into 'em I guess."
Kagome ran her hand over a glass angel hanging on the tree. "What's with all the ornaments Sango? I don't think any of them aren't angels."
Sango sighed. "My mother collected those."
"Still does?" Kagome asked.
"I collect for her. She passed on a while ago…"
Kagome bit her bottom lip and wished she hadn't asked the question. "Sorry Sango."
"Like I said…it was a while ago." Sango said waving off the comment. Saving Kagome from any more awkwardness, the doorbell rang. "That's gotta be them…" Sango said, heading towards the door.
Kagome gulped. 'Them' who?
She knew Miroku had been invited….but who else was going to show up?
thats it! press that button yo!
