Christmas Cheers

Kagome stirred in her bed and opened her eyes. She looked at the clock beside her bed and saw it was eight in the morning. She moaned and closed her eyes again turning over. She the felt something touching her hair. She opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha in the bed with her. She gasped but he placed his index finger to his lips. He kissed her lips gently.

"Merry Christmas." He whispered.

"Merry Christmas." She whispered back. He kissed her lips again. He then held up a thin box with wrapping on. She sat up and looked at him. "What's this?" He laughed and sat up.

"Of course I'm not gonna tell you, that's the point of it being a Christmas present. Open it." She smiled and removed the glittery gold wrapping. A thin velvet red box was revealed. She slowly opened it and saw an all diamond hello kitty necklace. Her eyes widened and she looked at Inuyasha.

"Are these real diamonds?" She asked and he nodded. She shook her head. "Inuyasha, I can't take this…I mean we're not even dating for you to give me such a gift." She looked back at him and he kissed her lips.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked against her lips. She smiled and nodded her head.

"Yes, I will." She smiled and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back. He removed the necklace from the box and put it around her neck. "How does it look?"

He nodded his head. He tried keeping his eyes on the necklace but found himself look at her low cut tank top.

"It's a great view." He smiled. She sucked her teeth and hit him. He laid her back on the bed and kissed her deeply. Kagome held him close to her as she accepted his tongue.

Miroku burst through the bathroom door startling them and a sleeping Sango.

"Merry Christmas!!!" He smiled widely. Inuyasha looked at him.

"Are you insane? It's early in the morning and you're yelling out merry Christmas. What are you seven?"

"No, you asshole, I'm seventeen and get into the Christmas Spirit. I'm in a very good mood so kiss my ass." He walked over to Kagome and hugged her. "Merry Christmas.

"Merry Christmas." He walked over to Sango and kissed her lips.

"Merry Christmas beautiful." She smiled.

"Merry Christmas." She said back to him. Inuyasha scoffed.

"I don't get a Merry Christmas?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku looked at him.

"No, because you didn't buy me a diamond necklace." He retorted. Kagome blushed and looked down. Sango raised her eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" Sango asked him. Miroku simply pointed at Kagome's new accessory. Sango looked at and gasped. She jumped out the bed and ran over to her. She sat on the bed stared at the necklace.

"Is that the Baby Phat Hello Kitty necklace? The one that's made of ALL diamonds?" She asked. Inuyasha nodded his head.

"Cost a frigging arm and leg but it's worth it. Anything for my girl." He kissed her lips again. Sango raised her eyebrow.

"You two are dating now?" She questioned and they nodded. Miroku walked over to them and crossed his arms.

"Of course if I got a diamond necklace I'd be someone's girlfriend too." He teased looking at Kagome.

"That's not why I agreed to be his girlfriend." She defended herself. Inuyasha waved his hand at Miroku.

"Ignore him."

Rin opened the door and looked confused.

"Did you all have a sleep over despite Tou-San and Taisho-Tou-San's words?" She smiled.

"No, we just came in to wake the girls up." Inuyasha replied. She nodded her head and shrugged.

"Tell me anything I guess. Well everyone is downstairs. We're gonna open presents. We figured you teenagers would be the last ones downstairs." She giggled. Miroku cheered.

"Yay presents, I wanna see want Kaa-Chan I got me." He ran out the door. Rin looked confused and looked at back the other three. Inuyasha shrugged.

"He's into the Christmas spirit." Rin began laughing.

"I guess he is."

They all went downstairs and sat next to their families as everyone exchanged gifts. Kyoko looked at Kagome and Souta who seemed a bit sad. She walked over to her children and sat in front of them.

"The place changed hasn't it?" She smiled. Souta looked down and didn't say anything. Kagome forced a smile on her face and nodded her head.

"It's beautiful here." She laughed a bit. She felt her eyes watering. She didn't want to cry because she knew if she cried her mother and brother would. Risa walked over to Kagome and Souta and knelt down.

"Hey guys, how are you enjoying your Christmas?" She asked.

"Fine." Kagome smiled. Souta looked down.

"It's not the same." He whispered and gripped his fists. "He promised he would spend every Christmas with us. He lied." He closed his eyes tightly. Kagome looked away as tears fell from her eyes. Kyoko rubbed her son's back. Risa looked down not knowing what to say. No matter how hard they tried every holiday especially Christmas was hard on them.

Daisuke stood up and tapped his spoon against his glass getting everyone's attention.

"I just want to say I'm glad we can all be here today. I hope everyone enjoyed their presents and got what they wanted." He looked over at Kagome and Souta who looked very sad. Rin walked over to Kagome and hugged her as she cried against her shoulder. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango looked confused they didn't understand what was going on. "Christmas is hard for the Higurashi family so forgive us if we seem a little sad or teary. My brother-in-law passed away four years ago and it was on Christmas Day so this is a joyous yet sad day for us. And everyone I give a toast to him and pray that's he happy where he's at." He cleared his throat. He smiled and bowed his head. Everyone else clapped and gave their condolences to the Higurashi family.

Later that day Kagome sat on her bed and stared at the necklace.

"Tou-San I'm really happy Inuyasha is a great guy. I think I'm falling in love with him." She closed her eyes. "It's too late for falling I am in love with him. I wonder what exactly does he feel for me."

Inuyasha peeked his head in through the bathroom door.

"Hey." He whispered. She turned and looked at him.

"Hey." She smiled. He walked over to her.

"Up for some company?"

"Yeah sure." She noticed he had on the red and white Tommy Hilfiger sweater she got him. He sat down next to her.

"Are you good?" He asked. She nodded her head.

"Yeah, it was better because we weren't alone for Christmas. We had company and it made things a lot less sad." She told him. He nodded his head and kissed her forehead.

"I'm glad you're alright. Tears shouldn't be seen on you." He told her. She looked at him and laid her head on his shoulder.

"As long as I'm with you I won't cry." He wrapped his arm around her.

"And I won't make you cry ever." He kissed her and laid his head on hers. "Oh yeah Kouga is having a New Year's Eve Party can you go?"

"Sure, I don't see why not." She shrugged. He nodded his head.

"Great. He smiled at her.

Sango and Miroku laughed as they had a snowball fight with Kohaku and Souta. Miroku and Souta cheered as they were whipping Sango and Kohaku.

"Let's go Souta, double time." Miroku said and began throwing snowballs twice as fast. Souta laughed and joined him.

"Kohaku, what the fuck? We're getting our asses kicked!"' Sango yelled at him. He sucked his teeth and threw a snowball at her. She growled and began throwing snowballs back at him. Miroku and Souta looked in confusion as Sango and Kohaku began having an all out snowball war.

"Did the teams change?" Souta asked looking at the older teen. Miroku shrugged his shoulders.

"They didn't say anything about it. Let's gang on them while they're fighting each other." Miroku suggested and Souta agreed. They towards them and the war was on.

Inuyasha opened the window.

"OI!!! Miroku!! Sango!!! You two are too damn old to be playing a snowball war!!!" Inuyasha shouted from the window. Kagome laughed standing next to him. Miroku looked up at him.

"Wanna say that to my face asshole?!!" Miroku challenged. Inuyasha began laughing.

"Miroku, I'mma kick your ass!"

"You talk a lot of shit but I don't see you doing anything!!" Miroku shouted with his arms out. Inuyasha closed the window.

"Baby, I'll be back, I have to hand this asshole his ass for a second." He said putting on his boots.

"Wait." Kagome ran to her suitcase and pulled out a pair of red gloves. "I was waiting until you went outside before giving them too you. I made them so enjoy." Inuyasha stared at them in shocked. He then looked at them.

"You made them? You mean you sat down and made these from scratch?" She nodded her head. He smiled and kissed her lips. "Thanks babe, I love them and now I know I will conquer all." He smiled and grabbed his coat before running out the door. Kagome laughed and watched from out the window as Inuyasha threw Miroku down to the snow. Souta, Kohaku and Sango all ganged on them. She giggled. It was good to Souta having a good time usually for Christmas he wouldn't crack a smile. Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha were all definitely good people. She was also excited about the New Year's Eve party.

I just want to wish everyone Merry Christmas and thanks for all the reviews.
