I don't own Inuyasha but you all knew that. ^_^

The Yōkai Child

A Christmas to remember part two

Shippo had used their telephone to let someone know where he would be. He thanked them over and over and did some cleaning. By the time he was done the house sparkled with a glow that came from a well scrubbed home. He even helped the two Higurashi men put up lights around the Shrine for a special party that would be held. Shippo was a hard worker and told him this many time throughout the two days.

The smell of food being cooked was strong as the turkey and everything being stirred in to the air. Shippo watched over Kagome and Sota as they played in the snow. They had managed a snow man when Shippo said some one was coming. When Kagome spotted the man she stated.

"Big brother your amazing!" Kagome said jumping around in the snow as Sota toddled around in his over stuffed coat.

Shippo frowned at the man as he became clear enough for the kids to see him as well. He was tall with a long pony tail, his eyes glowed in the low light. He wore a long tan coat, in his hands was suit case. He came right up to Shippo and hit him in the . Shippo coughed while doubling over in pain at the shot Sesshomaru hit him with.

"Leave Shippo alone you big old meanie!" she said with her hands on her hips. Her bright blue eyes seemed to glow faintly when she said this. Shippo gave a small smile as only one being ever dare to tell him what to do. And to live the tail at that.

"Now you have it right Kagome he is a big 'Old' meanie." the man frown at the pup who was using his future mate to boss him around. He didn't find it in the least bit funny.

"I told you to be at the main house. And here you are slacking off in a Shrine. We are leaving." Shippo smiled at him.

"My so many words you seem to have now Sessy." the kitsune teased him. Sesshomaru grabbed the younger males wrist and dragged him away.

"No! You big meanie he didn't get any dinner!" Kagome said holding on to Shippo's leg. Inwardly the Diayokai lord sighed at this childish behavior.

"Fine we can stay for an hour but once it's up you will have to let him go." He stated and made her pinky swear to it. After it was done she stuck out her tong. A thought about her still being able to use her powers freely made him want to change it so she would lose them now and not in three years.

Sesshomaru refused the food set before him and didn't touch anything a human would. When Kagome noticed this she handed him a cookie she had made all by herself. With only her mom putting them in the oven and taking them out.

"Here Mister." she said handing him the chocolate chip cookie. He wanted to refuse but to have sweet little Kagome give him a cookie was too much. He ate the cookie and shamed himself for eating a human product.

"It was good, thank you Kagome." he said with a mix of emotions that confused the little girl who seen the look in his eyes. Kagome smiled at him and went up to him and planted a kiss right on his cheek.

"Merry Christmas Sessy." she said before running off.

The two men made it home and was greeted by an angry Sōten and Kōryū. Her hair fell down her back with an apron that was full spots.

"Your late Shippo. Where have you been for these two days!" she growled at him before Shippo pulled her into a kiss that took her breath away. When released she moved back to the kitchen to make sure nothing was on fire. Sesshomaru gave him a look that could have been called a smirk.

"You two never change." he said with a hint of sadness in it.

"How is Kagome-neechan doing?" he asked looking up at Sesshomaru.

"It is hard to tell what is happening. But I think it is the Shikon jewel that caused this. Who ever put that thing in her is going to pay for it with more than their life." he said through clenched teeth.

The tense moment passed as Shippo's twelve kids tackled them to the ground in a group hug. "Daddy! Uncle Sessy!" they screamed out as they hit them.
