After presents were partially put away and lunch was served the family all sat together in front of Sesshomaru's roaring fireplace. Having decided to celebrate Christmas in their house was a nice idea Kagome thought. Toga and Izayoi sat together on the loveseat while Hatsumomo and Mrs. Higurashi cuddled with Rin on the sofa. Souta and Shippo were engaged in a card game by the coffee table while Kagome and Sesshomaru sat by the fire, her ensconced in his arms.
"This is nice." Sesshomaru stated hugging her close and kissing the back of her neck.
"It is." Kagome amended. "Today has been amazing."
"It can only get better." Sesshomaru murmured before relaxing his hold on Kagome and making room for Rin who had chosen that moment to barrel into them.
