The family of three sat back and admired their work. It had taken the better part of a Friday night but they had finally found the perfect Christmas tree and it was now all ready to decorate. Clapping her hands Kagome announced that she was going to make hot chocolate and Rin excitedly followed her into the kitchen. Sesshomaru just watched realizing that this was the first time he had ever had a tree in his house for Christmas. Since he and Rin often celebrated the holiday with his mother, they never put their own tree up. Seeing the tree again, he scoffed. Would Santa have to make two trips this year?
"Daddy!" Rin's yell prompted him to walk into the kitchen where he saw Kagome struggling to reach the cocoa powder on the top shelf of the cabinet. Reaching past her he handed her the cocoa and she thanked him before making them the drink she promised. Yes, he mused, this was perfect and changing it seemed unnecessary.
