Don't own Inuyasha… cries .o.o.

With the harvest for that year already collected weeks ago and the winter months upon Kaede's village it was no surprise when overnight the skies opened up and dropped vast amounts of snow upon the earth. Being so early in the season the villagers weren't expected so much this quickly so many families decided to stay indoors today and not deal with the freezing cold white fluff on the ground.

But sadly not every one in the village had this opportunity as there were certain jobs that had to be done in the town to keep it going; if one were out on this particular day they would see Natsumi wrapped up tightly in heavy clothing making her way up to the shrine to tend to her miko duties... there was much to be done to serve the kami and it couldn't wait until tomorrow.

The young priestess in training was not the only one that was forced out into the cold on this day either it seemed; Inuyasha received an urgent message from his brother in the west and had no choice but to head out and see what was wrong. And seeing as Kagome was heavily pregnant at the time there was no way he would leave her home alone so she was going with him; sadly however both parents felt it wouldn't be safe for their two year pup to come with them with all the demons that could possibly be at the western palace at the time so Inu was forced to remain behind. It was decided that he would remain at his aunt and uncle's hut for the day and that was how he found himself stuck with the twins out in the snow.

Miroku-ojisan was the only adult watching over them since Sango-obasan was taking a nap due to the baby she was carrying which Inu still couldn't understand how that was possible other than she ate it because her stomach was larger than the last time he saw her. So anyway Miroku-ojisan was supposed to be watching them and taking care of his wife, but with the snow outside and the children being kept cooped up all morning in the main room the girls had become rather rowdy and loud and Miroku didn't want them waking their mother. "Girls please, you must settle down now as to not wake your mother... she is very tired and needs to rest."

All the father got for his efforts was Takara screaming that Aki had her doll and she wanted it back and Aki just screaming in general because her sister was while running around the room; and poor Inu was huddled in the far corner of the room trying to cover his sensitive ears from the yelling and trying very hard not to use his powers to quiet them down.

"Girls I have an idea, why don't Inu and you go out and play for a little while in the snow," Miroku knew if Sango knew he sent his three year twins out in the snow she would kill him; but he wouldn't just throw them out in the snow no he made sure they were bundled up tight in thick warm clothes and scarves both their mother and aunt knitted last year. Inu himself was not pleased to be sent outside, he wasn't the one causing the noise, but his uncle to be fair to everyone sent him out too bundled up like the girls just to keep an eye on the twins to make sure they didn't wonder off too far... and that's how all this started.

"Inu-ku!"

"In-ku! Wohk her!"

Despite his uncle's encouragement that the boy go play with his cousins Inu chose to stay as close to the hut as possible where the least amount of snow was; being a half dog demon he possessed the same hatred for shoes as his father had before him, and with it being cold out his mother forced him to wear the hated things while outside. So now here he stood in a few inches of cold wet snow with a frown on his face watching the twins run around in the yard pointing and screaming at any and everything that moved.

"Inu-ku!"

"In-ku, pway!" Takara bent down to grab a hand full of snow and throw it in his direction trying to get him to come over and play with them; but Inu was haven't none of that and the little girl glared when she realized he wasn't coming over. "In-ku!"

Inu turned away from her in search of her sister to make sure she was still in the area and had not wondered off, he found her off to the other side of the hut attempting to make some kind of object out of the snow. When he approached her side she looked up and smiled showing him what she was making, "Inu-ku... pwinces."

His mother had been telling them a lot of stories that had princesses in them recently and so the girls were obsessed with the idea of being one so it wasn't surprising that Aki was trying to make a snow princess... even though to Inu it looked more like just a large pile of snow with a few twigs on top. Waiting for his approval on her work Inu was just about to tell her he liked it when a better formed snow ball came flying over and hit the princess causing her to topple over.

Takara stood a few feet away from the other children laughing quite loudly at what she accomplished by destroying her sister's snow princess, "No pwinces!"

Aki stood and charged up toward her sister in anger over what had been done and pushed the other girl into the snow. Takara was shocked at what her sister just did but didn't cry about it, no she sat up and grabbed more snow and threw it at Aki which resulted in a mini snow fight between the two with Inu as witness. Having been around these two girls his whole life Inu could not understand their violent tendencies towards each other; not knowing many children himself but he was sure normal human children didn't act the way his cousins did.

Seeing the two weren't going to stop fighting anytime soon, and now they were rolling around in the snow and getting completely soaked, Inu decided to break up their ruff housing before one of them got really hurt or sick. Turning to an undisturbed pile of snow Inu waived his hand above it allowing his powers to flow through his body and out towards the solid water; once it was touched the pile suddenly began to move and flow just as if it were fresh falling snow, it twisted and turned and began to take the form of a woman.

Both girls, being Miroku's daughters, possessed some form of spiritual power that was untrained due to them being so young but were still able to sense other beings with powers like theirs. Aki was the first to stop pushing her sister having felt something brush against her making her shiver, she sat up and was stunned at what was happening before her. Takara wasn't as in tuned with her spiritual side as her twin but when Aki stopped fighting her back and the look on her face drew Takara's curious nature and she too turned to see what her sister saw. By the time both girls were watching him Inu had already stopped his powers because his creation was complete; standing before the three children was a beautiful snow princess that ironically looked like Kagome seeing as Inu probably used her for a reference.

"Oh, pwity!" Aki jumped up and ran over to the adult sized statue to examine it up close; Inu had used what he could remember from those stories his mother told about what a princess would look like and kind of gave his power free reign on how to create that image. Takara was too shocked to say anything but she did come closer as well to look at the snow figure.

With both girls so close Inu could contain his smirk when the snow princess suddenly opened her crystal blue eyes and bowed towards them causing both girls to scream; but seeing that the creature wasn't going to hurt them the twins immediately wanted to play with her... which meant they would leave Inu alone for a while.

Miroku hearing the commotion from inside the hut decided it was long enough that the children were outside and went to call them in, "Okay everyone it's time for lu-... well what do we have here?" He wasn't expecting such a beautiful woman to be outside his door and playing with his daughters no less when he opened the door flap. But when he approached and realized the woman was not indeed an actual woman made of flesh and blood but rather snow and ice he became fearful for his children and the charge in his care. "Girls get away from her now; Inu come inside."

"Wy... pwinces To-an." Aki didn't want to abandon her new friend simply because her father demanded that she do.

Miroku quickly approached, watching the creature the whole time, and scooped up both girls despite their fussing and headed back to the hut, "Inu come inside boy, your parents would not be pleased with me if something were to happen to you."

Inu was confused by his uncle's actions but would not refuse his order; once Miroku was inside Inu turned towards the snow princess and waived his hand in front of her body taking his magic away and leaving nothing but the pile of snow again... maybe if a snow princess wasn't a good idea next time he would make a dog demon instead.

Note: Another little cute story where it appears Inu even was the power to make inanimate objects come to life on his command.

I came up with this idea after seeing 'Frozen' on new year's day and the east coast having a major snow storm on Friday.

Miroku was fearful of the creature not because Inu created her but he thought she was a 'Yuki-onna' which is a demon that lures people out during snowy days and kills them.

In case anyone is wondering the next chapter for 'Seeking the Future' is still in progress, it's completely different than the rest of the story for far and that's why it's taking so long to came out but I am working on it.

Thanks for reading!
