"Yay snow," Kagome yelled running ou of the house into the knee deep snow.

"Kagome Higurashi, come back here and put your jacket on," Her boyfriend Inuyasha called after her.

"But,"

"No buts, the snow can wait," He saysholding out the jacket.

"Fine!" She pouts as she wades back to the house and puts her jacket on. Smiling Inuyasha stands on the porch and watches Kagome play with their fox puppy Shippou (no he doesnt talk). Shippou was a year old to this day. Him and Kagome decided to go shopping on the 24th of December last year, eventhough they got everything done for Christmas. Low and behold this small red fox puppy was left outside the mall freezing. Kagome felt so sad for the for the puppy, that she turned her cute warm chocolate puppy dog eyes (ironic huh) on him. Begging for the puppy. Not being able to refuse the look, they too the puppy home. Now Shippou was about mid-thigh to Kagome and Kagome was soo happy.

Shaking his head, Inuyasha walked into the snow and over to the Goshinboku. Plopping down at the base of the tree, Inuyasha relaxes and closes his eyes. Not realizing that he was being snuck up by the two 'ninjas' (in all reality he just wasn't paying attention) Inuyasha was startled our of his daze when a splash of snow landed in his has and on his head -some of the snow getting into his dog ears- and the weight of the 18 year old girl dropping down into his lap. Next thing he hears is Kagomes laughter. It sounded like bells in his ears. Smiling evily, he grabs her and starts to tickle her mercilessly.

"Stop... Stop... Stop please Inuyasha that tickles," Kagome gasped out laughs trying to catch her breath.

"I know thats the point," He laughed. Their laughter could be heard acrossed the ground of the shrine as the wrestled in the snow under the Goshinboku. Finally done, with rosy cheeks and frozen toes, they went into the house to warm up. As Kagome and Shippou sat by the fire place, Inuyasha was in the kitchen making hot chocolate. Placing the two mugs on a silver platter he also add the chocolate cookies (that Kagome had made that morning) on to the tray and carried it out to her.

Once Kagome saw what he had, she smiled widely and she clapped her hands. Grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch he wrapped it around her and gave her, her cup of cocoa. Smiling Kagome drank her cocoa in silence next to Inuyasha in pure bliss. As soon as she was dont with it, Kagome laid her head on Inuyashas' lap. A fant blush dusted his face as he felt her relax.

" Inuyasha, this is what i like about snow right here and now. Being with you is the best thing anyone could ask for," Kagome then started to doze off. Smiling Inuyasha also noticed that Shippou was following in Kagomes' footsteps, heading to dreamland.
