Her fingers trembled slightly as she closed the door behind them. A shaky smile was placed on her pale face. Kagome held onto the door as if it was her life on the line. Not from fear, from happiness, but Kagome felt so shocked. They were here, excluding the humans. Shippo bounced on his two feet, he looked young still, but he would never be her baby anymore. He was too mature. Sesshomaru was there, proud as always, with a sort of relaxed look on his features (she was glad Jaken wasn't here anymore, he was too annoying in her case). Inuyasha, hard-headed as always, but he had an embarrassed look on his face and couldn't seem to reach her eyes.

"Kagome!" Shippo jumped into her arms.

"Gosh, you've gained a few kilos," she groaned. He smiled sheepishly.

"We really need to catch up mama, we could go to that café down the road, tab's on me," he started to ramble.

"Uh, yeah, sure…"

"And then we could go to the park and have ice-cream. Oh! And watch that movie I've been wanting-" Shippo was cut short by Sesshomaru's icy glare. Kagome gave him a grateful look.

"Miko, we have much to talk about."

"I know, Sesshomaru, but may I ask one question?" Everyone in the room gave her a questioning glance.

"What happened to the others?"

Inuyasha sighed, "Well wench, Kohaku and Rin lived happily ever after. Ha, you should have seen bro's face! Totosai died a few years ago alongside his bull-thing. Kouga and his pack are doing business in America. Kirara went off happily with this other cat and is nowhere to be found. Lastly, Sango and Miroku died but let's just saying they have a lot of descendents. Yeah, I don't know how he persuaded her but, yeah…"

For the first time today, Kagome let out a giggle.

Ikuto frowned; Kagome had been ignoring him the whole day. It was fun watching her get flustered in front of him. He grinned when he saw her staring sadly at the ground.

"Ka-go-me!" he whispered in her ear. She jumped and a deep blush covered her face.

"Wh-what are you doing here, JERK," she cried.

Ikuto smirked, "Now, now that wasn't very nice was it, princess?"

Kagome scoffed, "Yeah, like you're a saint too."

Ikuto feigned innocence, "Whatever do you mean?" Kagome gave him a pointed look.

Ikuto leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Oh, and thanks for the present." He gave an exaggerated bow and a quick kiss on the cheek before going his own way. Kagome's eyes were wide in surprise. Her face grew red, redder, even redder. She screamed in delight.

Ikuto chuckled.

Kagome hummed happily, it was Christmas soon! She needed to buy Ikuto another present. She didn't know what to get him, but no matter what he wanted she would definitely get it for him.

"So, Ikuto, what would you want for Christmas?" she practiced those lines on her way to school.

"Hmm, all I want is you," Ikuto said behind her, smirking. Kagome screamed in surprise.

"I nearly died Ikuto!" she scolded half-heartedly. He dismissed that easily with a wave of his hand.

"So, there, there's my answer."

Once again, Kagome's face was the colour of a very ripe strawberry.

Ikuto woke up yawning loudly. Christmas, he remembered, today's Christmas. The doorbell rang and he could here a muffled voice.

"Stupid Shippo, this is soo embarrassing."

He opened the door. Kagome stood there in a cute Santa outfit, twiddling her thumbs nervously.

"Me-merry Ch-Christmas, Ikuto!"

For once, Kagome got revenge, it was his turn to turn red.

Kagome smiled gaily as she walked away from Ikuto's house. She forgot that after the rain there was a rainbow. She didn't care who that pink-haired girl was. Ikuto liked her, HER, that kiss told it all.

Yes~ It's here. I know it is quite short, but still did you like it? Merry Christmas and thanks for your support. I know I was thinking of only a two shot, but maybe I should write another chapter that bases more on the relationship between Inuyasha and co and Kagome. This chapter based more on Ikuto and Kag, so I was thinking on basing the next one around Kagome and her friends. What has become of Inuyasha and Kagome after her heartbreak?
