The day had finally arrived, Christmas Eve! Izayoi was trying to everything at once while her maids finished cleaning. Currently she was in her master bathroom working on InuYasha's hair.
" Oooh you know what would look really cute."
"hm?"
" What if we curled your hair!" She smiled big holding up her red curling iron. InuYasha's face held a horrified look.
" See ya!" InuYasha hopped out of his seat about to run away but his mom caught him by the ear.
" Ah ah ah... just let me try it..."
" Mom!"
" Please... You'd look adorable!"
" I'd look like a girl."
" You already do look like a girl." Sesshomaru said poking his head in the bathroom and then leaving.
" Says the one who wears eye liner! Mom curl his hair!"
" Welp, I don't wear eyeliner, my eyelids just flush that color. It. is. Natural."
" Sesshomaru! Do NOT call your brother that name!"
Sesshomaru waved her off and continued down the hallway. He looked pretty slick. He was all ready in his tuxedo and just waiting for the guests to arrive.
" Now." Izayoi said returning her attention to her favorite hanyou. " Big curls or little curls?"
" MOM!"
~ With Kagome~
Mrs. Higurashi was just finishing up her mascara and putting in earrings. Gramps dressed baby Sota into a formal looking enough t shirt. ( continuously forget to put that 'r' there lol xD) Kagome was wearing a puffy green dress with a Santa hat on her head and black boots.
" Can I have some red lipstick mama?"
" Hm... how about some light lip gloss."
" If I must..." Kagome dipped her finger into her mom's lip gloss container and applied it on her lips. She twirled in the mirror and was quite satisfied of how she looked. Mrs. Higurashi curled her hair and wore a dressy red shirt with black dress pants. She was going to be helping out with dinner so she really didn't want to be in a dress running around in the kitchen. Kagome wrapped InuYasha's gift all by herself. As you can imagine it looked beautiful in her eyes but horrific in an adult's eyes. She was positive he was going to like this gift very much. She made all of her other friends Christmas cards with her crayons and markers.
" Is everyone ready to go?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
" Yup!" Gramps, and Kagome both said.
" Okay everyone in the car. Let's hit it."
~ With InuYasha.~
InuYasha was in tears crossing his arms as his mother curled his silver hair. If Sesshomaru knew where his camera he would have so took a picture.
" Mom Your hurting me!"
" InuYasha Taisho stop it! I am being gentle as I possibly can! Now sit still so I can finish."
Sesshomaru looked all around his large bedroom for his camera. ' Of course. Why didn't I think of this place before...' Sesshomaur looked under his bed and surely enough it was there! ' oh it's pay bak little brother...' He smirked and tiptoed back into his mom's bathroom. As soon as he saw InuYasha he had to dash out of the room, collapse on the the ground and start laughing. He laughed so much that it grew silent. One of their maid Nozomi came over and found the 11 year old on the floor.
" Sesshomaru-sama? Are you alright."
Sesshomaru stopped laughing and was helped up off the floor from Nozomi. " Never better..."
He skipped back into the room when his mind just shattered and he stopped in his tracks 'Did I just skip!' Slowly poking his head in the bathroom he snapped a shot of InuYasha and- ' run Sesshomaru! It's now or never!'
Guests were to be expected at any moment. All the maids and butlers were lined up on both sides of the door ready to welcome the guests. Kikyo and her parents arrived first. The door bell rang causing them all to stand erect . One of the butlers opened the door and raised his eyebrow.
" Mom, I have a wedgie!"
" Kikyo I certainly am not getting it out for you so you nee-" Kikyo's mother said angrily but then noticed that the door had opened for them. " oh hello. Kikyo..." Kikyo immediately stood up straight and bowed. The two of them walked in gracefully nodding slightly to all the bowed Maids and butlers.
" Welcome, dinner wont start for an hour, chefs are doing preparations right now, please have a seat in the ballroom."
Kikyo's father walked in also with a few presents covering his face. He got the same amount of respect and was directed to the ballroom. The ballroom consisted of many holiday decorations. In the center was a huge golden chandelier lighting up the whole room. Their was a small orchestra that consisted of five people for each of the instruments. Little snacks were on some of the tables and their was also a decorated tree in the corned filled with mountains of presents. So huge you could probably swim in it. " Oh would you look at that, to add onto this gorgeous ballroom there is even a bar."
" Ooh I wanna Shirley Temple!"
The Higurashi's didn't take very long to come after kikyo's family had. Once greeted Mrs. Higurashi charged into the kitchen hoping things were going good. Kagome walked into the ballroom gasping. There was so many people here! A lot of them were co workers of InuYasha's father and some were people she had no idea where they came from. Finally spotting the tree Kagome put InuYasha's Christmas present under the tree and all her Christmas cards spread out in the tree. Kagome saw her friend Miroku chasing after Sango with a mistletoe. " I have to kiss you Shango! It's the rules!"
" Liar! It's not the law!" Sango said never stopping.
Kagome friends were so silly, she was glad she had them. Shiori and Kanna were staring at themselves in the mirror located all around the ballroom.. It was a bit odd seeing that that were only standing there.
" Candy Cane?" A lady offered her dressed in a... what she was guessing a Santa suit... ' Santa doesn't wear dresses... not that short anyway.'
" yummy! Thank you." Kagome took the candy cane and broke it sticking it in her mouth.
" Your welcome."
" HI Kagome." Hojo called out approaching her.
" Oh... hello Hojo." *cough ' Pee-er...'
" Nice Orchestra huh?"
" Um yeah."
" DO you want to dance?"
" now Presenting the Taisho's!" A butler called out hushing the party guests. InuTaisho came in a black tuxedo with a candy cane tie. Izayoi had on a breath taking black hobble skirt dress on with a sparkling diamond necklace. The dress was completed by black gloves and her wedding ring over it. Kikyo's mother found herself a bit jealous. 'Thank you Taisho family...' Kagome said to herself watching as Hojo slowly walked back to his table. Sesshomaru and InuYasha came after looking absolutely handsome as ever.
InuYasha noticed a few stares at him as to why his hair was curled and a few 'awww! Kawaii!' His mom embarrassed him with a 10 out of 10 and he was only seven. Removing his gloves harshly and throwing them to the ground he ran out of the room. That was her cue, Kagome ran after InuYasha feeling bad. Honestly she thought his hair looked cute like that but she thought it looked better straight.
It didn't take Kagome very long to figure out where InuYasha went. He always went outside where all of the trees were...
" InuYasha... "
" Kagome don't look at me! I'm hideous!"
" Hideous? Oh no, you're far from that."
" Stop lying!"
" InuYasha it's cute. There that is the truth."
" I look like a girl..."
"I think I can help."
" How?"
Kagome held up her hand to the tree InuYasha was in.
" If you come with me..."
InuYasha fell backwards sighing not really caring where he landed. Kagome smiled at him and linked arms with him taking him to his bathroom.
" Okay now get undressed and sit in the tub."
" WHAT!"
" Oh right. Sorry, hm..." Kagome found his satin robe hanging on the towel rack and tossed it at him. " Get out of your tux and change into this let me know when your done I'll be outside." Kagome left the door shutting it and stood by the door. InuYasha was confused for a second but shrugged.
2 minutes later InuYasha called in Kagome. " You can come in now."
Kagome walked in and grabbed the portable shower nozzle holder and turned it on.
" Hey what are you doing!"
" Do you like cold water or warm water better?"
" Warm. Wait why-?"
Kagome didn't let him finish his sentence and held the shower nozzle just above his head
" Kagome my curls are coming out!"
" That's the point baka."
" Oh!"
" Although your mom might be mad if she sees you so I would avoid her a little if that is possible. Now... okay dry yourself and get back in your tuxedo, try not to drip any water on it."
Kagome then once again left the room. After getting his tuxedo back on he began combing through his hair and grabbed the blow dryer.
" Oh you can come back in Kagome."
" Oo! Can I blow dry your hair!" Kagome begged.
" Why...?"
" well Barbies hair takes like 30 seconds..."
" You are comparing me to a barbie."
" Course not. Can I?"
" Fine..."
Back at the party everyone was just getting served their food. Izayoi looked around worried because she hadn't seen InuYasha in a while. Someone came from behind her wrapping their arms around her tiny waist and whispered. " May I have a dance Koishii?"
Izayoi smiled. She knew that voice. She would have punched that man from behind if it was unfamiliar. " Certainly." Many watched in aw at the couple. Other couples got up and joined them.
" Sango... can I at least dance with you..." Miroku asked finally getting tired of chasing her.
" fine, fine. But only because you didn't call me Shango."
" Really!"
" Eh... I see no harm."
" Then we shall dance until our legs give out!"
InuYasha and Kagome came back down stairs. InuYasha actually had a smile on his face. His hair was back to it's normal self.
" Hey InuYasha." Kagome smirked nudging him.
" Hm.?"
" I got you an awesome present."
" I bet the one I got you is even better."
" ooo! What is it."
" A bible..."
" ...oh..."
" I'm just kidding" InuYasha laughed. " Your just going to have to wait."
" Meanie."
" Ms. Impatient."
" Not my fault, I'm not the only kid."
" There you are Kagome, it's time to eat." Gramps called to Kagome.
" Gramps can I sit with all my friends?"
" that's fine with me."
InuYasha grabbed Kagome's hand and showed her to the ' kids ' table as some people call it. They had so many choices on the menu. Kagome figured it was more of the finer foods. If InuYasha had his way everyone would be served ramen. Kanna only ate one onigiri as her dinner.
" Hey InuYasha..." Kikyo sung.
" what?"
" Look there is a mistletoe above us.." She said moving her eyebrows up and down.
InuYasha looked up and raised an eyebrow. " Kikyo that's a poinsettia not a mistletoe." He laughed making her feel really stupid. Inutaisho tapped his wine glass with the side of his fork, stopping once he got everyone's attention. I'm glad you all could make it tonight. This is sure to be our most successful Christmas Party." We have dancing, a bar, and the finest of foods so have a great time while your here." Everyone clapped excluding InuYasha and Sesshomaru. They have heard this speech a million times during the past few days. InuYasha didn't understand why he hasn't just improvised. Chances are he was a perfectionist. InuYasha grabbed a microphone and sat up.
" Hi."
" Awwww..." The crowd said. What was their problem? Every time he spoke or does something that's all anyone ever says in his family! If they could they would crown him #1 cutest baby.
" I'd like to sing a song for you guys if you don't mind..."
Everyone clapped encouraging him.
" Jingle Bells, Sesshomaru smells, Hojo layed an egg.. .Kikyo lost her bow and Kagome dashed away..." InuYasha smiled big and turned off the microphone sneaking a glance at his older brother angrily crushing his sushi in his hand pointing to the sushi then at InuYasha. The crowd certainly found it entertaining. Kikyo searched frantically on the top of her head searching for her bow. She really had lost it!
The party had finally ended a couple of hours later. Everyone danced, sang karaoke, got a little drunk, ate some more, and then left. The Taisho's and The Higurashi's were all around the tree. Kagome made sure to give all her friends their cards before they left. Kagome wanted to see InuYasha open her gift before she left.
" InuYasha. This one is from Kagome. Izayoi and InuTaisho, this one is from me. And Sesshomaru this is from Gramps." Mrs. Higurashi said handing them their gifts.
' oh joy...' Sesshomaru thought. Being a youkai, he could already tell what he had gotten. ' a glossary... this would be the third one he has gotten from him. ' does he not remember he got me this for the past two years? Does he have memory loss?' " Thank you so much, Grandfather Higurashi. I will enjoy reading this." Sesshomaru said after unwrapping the 30 lb book... or so it seemed. Sesshomaru glanced at his step mother who winked at him meaning ' thank you for being polite.' InuTaisho and Izayoi both opened their gift together. It was a champagne bottle with tinsel wrapped around it.
" Thank you! We really love it."
" Oh your welcome. Just don't drink it all in one night."
" Are you kidding? This woman cant even finish a cup."
" InuYasha open your gift now! Please!" Kagome asked very excited.
" okay." InuYasha lifted his pointed finger in to air with his head bowed letting everyone see how sharp his claws were. With one stroke he cut off the wrapping paper. So neatly that it could even be used again! Three items were in the gift , a vial with red liquid in it was the first thing he picked up.
" That's an elixir me and Gramps made, it can make a hanyou 10 % stronger!"
" Whoa! This is awesome!" InuYasha then gasped at his second gift. It was a box of crayons filled with red crayons. Kagome and InuYasha both laughed. Inside joke gifts were always the best. The last thing was a card. It was very well decorated, for a second grader that is. " Wow how long did this take you to make?"
" Three days."
The note read: No matter how hard you try to get away I'll never leave you. Your my best friend. My buddy. My other half forever. Just remember that I love you just the way you are as a hanyou! Merry Christmas InuYasha!
Kagome :)
" Thank you Kagome."
" You're welcome."
" Now open your gift!"
" Okay!" InuYasha handed Kagome a gift bag with pink tissue paper sticking out.
Kagome carefully pulled out a small box and opened it revealing a green and red locket. Kagome opened up the heart and saw a picture of InuYasha and her making a silly face in the picture. On the back of the heart it had their names on it. " Aww! I love it! Thank you so much InuYasha!"
Kagome placed the necklace around her neck and connected the two ends. She swore never to take it off.
After thirty minutes or so it was finally time for the Higurashi's to leave. Everyone shared hugs saying goodbye except for Sesshomaru. He was reading his glossary when gramps tried to hug him bye. All he got was the peace sign.
Gramps got in the car turning on the heater and Mrs. Higurashi strapped baby Sota into his car seat. That left Kagome and InuYasha by the door.
" Thanks again for my gift InuYasha."
" No problem."
" Kagome! It's time to leave... you'll see him at school Monday." Mrs. Higurashi called from the car.
" Okay!" She yelled back. Then returned her attention back to InuYasha. " I'll never take it off for anything! Merry Christmas InuYasha." Kagome pecked him on the cheek and ran off to the car. All of InuYasha's blood rushed to his face. He lightly touched his cheek with his claws. ' Did she just...'
Sesshomaru came up behind his little brother and started singing.
" Do you believe in life after love!" He sang dramatically.
" Oh put a sock in it fluffy." InuYasha stuck out his tongue and ran upstairs.
Please leave a review. The next chapter should be expected in 2 days due to Christmas. :)
