Chapter Five: Christmas Morning

When Sesshoumaru awoke, he found himself on his bed, in his own room.

"Was that all just a dream?" Sesshoumaru asked himself, while he got dressed.

"It had to have been" thought Sesshoumaru "It's ridiculous that people would be cheering for my death.

However, Sesshoumaru's reasoning proved wrong, when he opened his door and saw Jaken struggling in vain to pull the huge giant oni out of the house.

Jaken heard Sesshoumaru enter. "Oh no! You're awake! Please forgive m'lord! I tried my hardest but this thing is very heavy! I-"

"Silence Jaken, I will give you until I get home tonight" said Sesshoumaru, squeezing past the giant oni "But I'm only doing this because it's Christmas"

"Ah! Thank you m'lord!"

"So it wasn't just a dream" said Sesshoumaru quickly walking to work.

Halfway there, someone tapped his shoulder. He looked over it and saw Naraku.

"Well" said Naraku smiling triumphantly.

"Well, what"

"Don't you want to give me your demonic powers?"

"Now why would I want to do such a foolish thing?" asked Sesshoumaru.

"Didn't all that you saw change you inside?" asked Naraku his smile wavering.

"Ridiculous" said Sesshoumaru as he shook his shoulder from Naraku's grip and went on to work. "Seems, like I wasted my time" said Naraku angrily as he watched Sesshoumaru go.

When Sesshoumaru got to work, he wasn't surprised to see that Miroku hadn't shown up yet.

He had to wait thirty minutes for him to show up, which wasn't a surprise either.

Finally the door opened, letting cold into the room, Miroku entered.

"Go and bring me your son, pervert" ordered Sesshoumaru from behind his desk.

"Huh?"

"Go and bring me your son"

"eh? Are you talking about Kohaku?" asked Miroku who was very surprised (and not pleasantly so) that Sesshoumaru knew he had a boy at home.

"Are you deaf?" asked Sesshoumaru, "I think you are, come here and I will clean out your ears with my poison claws."

"No need to waste your time doing that!" said Miroku nervously, as he quickly walked out the door "I'll be back as soon as I can!"

It was fifteen minutes before Miroku was back with Kohaku. Both of them were looking confused.

"Boy, how would you like to escape the horrible influence of your perverted farther? And become my apprentice?" asked Sesshoumaru when the two of them had taken a seat.

"But Miroku isn't my father he's my sister's husband" said Kohaku "But I would really like to be your apprentice!"

"Is that so?" said Sesshoumaru slightly smiling, "I suppose you not being Miroku's son it makes things less awkward."

"Miroku" said Sesshoumaru turning to him, said "You're fired!"

"But I always have done a good job!" Protested Miroku, who was very shocked at this turn of advents.

"But" said Kohoku "I didn't mean to take his job"

"Kohoku, you have nothing to feel bad for it was I who decided to get rid of that pervert." replied Sesshoumaru "Now get your things and come back here, and after work I'll show you were I live"

"You mean I'll be living with you!" exclaimed Kohoku.

"That's the whole point, to get away from your perverted father" answered Sesshoumaru.

"He's not my"

"I don't care, now go and do as I say" said Sesshoumaru pulling his over coat and fluff back on.

"Where are you going?" asked Miroku.

"That's none of your business" said Sesshoumaru, opening the door. "Now if you want this month's pay I suggest you show Kohoku where everything is."

With that Sesshoumaru left.

He quickly walked down the streets, cursing the little girl for not giving him better directions.

Finally he found it.

"Sesshoumaru!" said Rin happily "But I'm not ready yet!"

"I didn't come here to come to your stupid party" said Sesshoumaru.

"Huh?"

"Rin, I have decided that I will allow you to live with me if you agree to help, I mean, if you clean up my house and keep it clean." said Sesshoumaru looking slightly uncomfortable.

AH! Really Lord Sesshoumaru!" exclaimed Rin, her eyes wet with tears.

"Why would I come here if I didn't mean what I said?"

"Thank you so much" she said as she ran up and hugged his leg. Tears streamed her face that wetted Sesshoumaru's pants leg.

"Rin, do not hug me, I am not a teddy bear." said Sesshoumaru stepping back.

"yes, m'lord" said Rin backing away.

Sesshoumaru tossed her a coin, and said "Find something more suitable to wear"

"But m'lord no one will be open because it's Christmas Day!"

"Someone will be opened for the last minute shoppers, I am not to be argued with" replied Sesshoumaru.

For the rest of Sesshoumaru's life, most people would say he had changed.

Not in a big grand way, it was as if some of the ice in his heart had melted away. He was always the same quiet person, never talked unless he had too. But what mattered was that their was a difference.

Rin and Kohoku, lived happily together with Lord Sesshoumaru and afterwards when they were older they lived happily together. \
