She smiles at me warmly.

"Hey Christmas break is soon what are you doing for it?"

I groan.

"Probably nothing, my Father already told me he's working Christmas this year so he won't be around and my half brother Sesshomaru is way older than I am and he has a family of his own to be with. So probably stay at my Father's place and spend it alone. What about you? What you doing?"

She gives me a sad look.

"You can't spend Christmas alone, that's horrible! Why don't you come with me and visit my family."

I blush.

"Naw that's alright I wouldn't wanna interrupt your time with your family."

She plays with a piece of my hair.

"Trust me my family wouldn't mind at all, Mama would love to meet you finally."

She blushes.

"I've actually told her quite a lot about you and she already said she would love to meet you."

I blush badly.

"You've told her about me!?"

She looks away embarrassed.

"Yeah... Let me go call her and see if its alright."

Before I can speak again she's already out the door and on the phone.

"Oh shit, what have I gotten myself into!?"

After what feels like an eternity she comes back in with a skip in her step.

"Pack your bags InuYasha! Your coming to the Higurashi shrine for Christmas!"
