" I wonder what could have happen to her to make her so sad?" My mate asked. I knotted my agreement. As we walked in to the living room where Inu-yasha and Kagome were set up to watch their movie we had to stop and smile softly at the seen before us. They lay on the floor both sleeping. Kagome had her head resting on Inu-yasha's stomach. While one of Inu-yasha's hands was barrier into Kagome's raven colored locks. In Inu-yasha's other arm was Kagome's puppy. He had pulled it tight to his chest. Kagome had both her arms wrapped around Mr. Puppy.
"Oh my Gods that's so cute!" my mate whispered to me. I looked closely at Inu-yasha. He had a soft little smile on his lips. It was the first time I had see a smile on my little pups face while he slept and not a frown as nightmare's plagued him. I prayed to any Gods that would listen. Prayed that he never losses the girl.
Christmas Eve. Inu's parents.
Kagome's mom Rose
Rose walked in to the house behind her daughter. And was greeted by Inu-yasha's parents. Soon Kagome and Inu-yasha had gone up stairs leaving the grown ups by them self's in the living room. Inu-yashio was watching TV as the girls talked, but he had to ask.
" Where's your husband?" Inu-yashio asked out of the blue. Rose stop talking and got a sad look in her eye's.
" He died two years ago." she said, Lilly gasped.
" I'm so sorry!" Lilly whispered, eye's wide with shock. " Kagome never told me." Lilly exclaimed.
" No I don't suppose she would. You see Darren died in a car crash about this time of the year." Rose said softly.
" How horrible. I can't imagine the pain it must have been to loss your husband!" Lilly said softly.
" How did it happen, if you don't mind me asking." Inu-yashio asked. Ross shook her head.
" Well, it was a cold night and apparently there was ice on the roads. There was a bridge that my husband always took to so to town. Well on the bridge was even more slippery. Snow was heavy and vision was low. I told him not to go to the store but he said it wasn't a big dell. His car went out of control and his car went of the bridge. His car crashed into the frozen lake. The wind shield broke and a piece of glass impaled my husband in the head. He died instantly. But you see I thought Kagome was in her bed throw this. But Kagome had snuck in to his car. Kagome always tried to go every where with her father. I thought she was a sleep. Well from what I hear, Kagome must have spent the rest of the night in the car that had water slowly seeping up in to the car. Can you imagine what it must have been like? Stuck in a car with ice water slowly seeping up, and you fathers dead body lying a few feet from you? When the scouda team finally pulled her out of the bloody water was up to her neck. She has a scare on her shoulder from some glass that had gotten imbedded in her shoulder. It was estimated that she had been in there for nine hours." Ross said softly looking down at her folded hands in her lap.
" My god how tribal!" Lilly whisperer hoarsely.
" That happy little girl spent nine hours of hell and yet she smiles? How could she smile after what happened to her? How can she be that brave?" Inu-yashio asked in a deep but soft voice.
" Yes, I know how you feel. When the death took its toll on me, Kagome always made me smile. She was always bringing me flowers and making me things. When I would crawl on to my bed and cried Kagome would crawl up on to the bed with me and cradle my head in her lap. She always tried to make me happy. What IU most regret is that for a full month my body just shout down. And my little five year old feed me and helped me do everything. She cooked, she cleaned and took care of shopping. that's why I call her Angel. She saved my life." Ross said softly as tears came down her face. " I'm so sorry I… I started balling. It just I lover Kagome. She looks and acts just like her father." Ross whispered.
" No it fine you have reasons to be sad. It's perfectly fine." Lilly said as she hugged the other woman close to her. Inu-yashio was in shock. That little raven haired girl had to go throw her fathers death and take care of her sad mother? How could she be so happy?
No one noticed the little fighter on the stair way. The fighter that looked on with sad and shocked little golden eyes.
Later that night.
Kagome ran over and got Inu-yasha's present form her coat pocket and ran back up stairs to Inu-yasha's room.
" Inu-yasha!" Kagome called. Inu-yasha got up from the floor where he had been playing with his nights.
" What is it Kagome? Is something wrong?" Inu-yasha asked. Kagome pulled him over to his bed and pushed him don so that he sat on the bed. She set the present she had gotten him on his lap. Inu-yasha looked up at Kagome with shinning eyes, they were almost watering.
" I- It's for…me?" Inu-yasha asked starring up at her.
" I hope you like it." Kagome said shyly.
" Can……..I open it now?" He asked.
" Yha, go ahead. I really, really hope you like them." Kagome said. Inu-yasha ripped of the red paper and cut of the top of the box with his claws and opened the box. He pulled out some tissue paper and found a new red cap. The front had a picture of a demon dog transformed. Under the picture were the words. " do you really want to mess with me?"
" Look under the bill." Kagome said a little nervous again that he hadn't like it. Inu-yasha flipped it over and saw the words sown in to he hat.
"To: Inu-yasha
"you're the best friend any one could have!
Love, Kagome.
" look deeper into the box." Kagome told him. Inu-yasha grabbed the rest of the tissue paper. He pulled out a caller. It was red and had a silver tag that said, 'Mr. Puppy.'
" Mommy had to go step by step with me to make it. And to stick the words in to the hat. It was my first time sowing and I made a couple mistakes. So we had to wash it to get the stains out." Kagome said.
" Stains?" Inu-yasha asked. Kagome for the first time pulled of her light blue cotton gloves. And showed Inu-yasha she hands. Inu-yasha gapped at her hands. They were covered in gauss. Parts of her palms were bruised.
" I'm not very good at sowing….." Kagome whispered, and trailed of. Inu-yasha grabbed her hands and being very gentle he pulled her in to his small arms and held her to his small chest. He couldn't understand, his heart felt all warm and fuzzy. When ever he was by Kagome he felt this funny feeling.
"oh, Kagome you shouldn't have tried to sow. I'd have love you gift if it didn't have the sowing." Inu-yasha told he tightened his arms. He let go of he and gently rubbed her bruised palms.
" But I wanted to do something extra special for you, because this is our first Christmas together. I wanted to make you happy. It was worth some pain to see you smile." she said to him. Inu-yasha couldn't stop the tears that burned behind his eye's. Inu-yasha put the caller and the hat down. He once again pulled Kagome in to his small chest.
" Thank you some mush. I love them you're the best." Inu-yasha told her. He couldn't believe Kagome had done such a thing for him. Then he remembered her present was in his sock dour. Inu-yasha realest Kagome and Went to get her present. He found the box wrapped with blue paper and a silver bow. He ran back to Kagome and handed it to her.
" Go on open it!" Inu-yasha encouraged Kagome. She smiled up at him. Inu-yasha couldn't take his eye's from Kagome's beaten hands. As she carefully ripped open the paper to her present. Inu-yasha couldn't help but noticed how Kagome wincesed every time she had to struggle to get the paper of. Inu-yasha felt so bad, because he felt he was the one causing her pain. He quickly cut of the paper the rest of the was and slid a claw to open the box for her. Kagome smiled up at him and thanked him.
Kagome pulled out a toy knight. It was a girl knight. She had black hair and a long sword. She had shiny silver armor with blue trim.
" It's for when we play knights. You Don't have to be a boy knight any more. I hope you like her." Inu-yasha said shyly.
" Oh, Inu-yasha I love her. I'll name her Kate." Kagome said happily. Inu-yasha smiled happily. Inu-yasha smiled brightly.
" I got you something ease look deeper! Go on. I hope you love it to." Inu-yasha told her. Kagome found a silver angel pendent on a small silver chain. The angel had her wings raised, and she was warring a dress that flowed. made out of silver for the dumb people how though it was cloth Kagome looked in to Inu-yasha's nervous eye's.
" You don't like it. I know I picked it out at Target when my mommy and daddy and me went shopping. I didn't have mush money-" Inu-yasha was cut of when Kagome throw her arms around his neck.
" It's beautiful! I love it so mush I will ware it all ways." Kagome said looking up at Inu-yasha with shinning eye's.
" Inu-yasha! Kagome! Time for dinner." Inu-yashio yelled up the stairs. Kagome ran and put her gloves back on and they both went down to dinner together.
After dinner.
"Kagome, if your done you can go up to Inu-yasha's room if you like, dear." Lilly told her.
" Thank you I will go now." Kagome said as she head to the stairs. But her mothers voice stopped her.
" Kagome gather your things up we'll have to head home soon angel." Ross said.
" Ok, mommy!" Kagome piped and then was gone.
" Mommy can I Talk to you in the kitchen?" Inu-yasha asked. Lilly blinked at her son.
" Why, Yes Inu-yasha come. I'm free now." Lilly told her son, ceruose to see what he wanted. Inu-yasha and Lilly entered the kitchen, Lilly turned to Inu-yasha.
" What is it Inu-yasha?" Lilly asked.
" Mommy you know that hand cream that daddy gets for you to help your hands when their chapped?" Inu-yasha asked.
"Yes I do Inu-yasha. What is it that you want?" Lilly asked again.
" I know your almost out and daddy is going to bring you some more soon, so can I have the rest of it Please! I really Need it." Inu-yasha begged.
" Why do you need it?" Lilly asked.
" I'll tell you when you and daddy come to tuck me in to night. I promise I'll tell you everything but I really need the cream?" Inu-yasha told her.
" Ok I'll get it for you." Lilly said as she disappeared and reappeared a few minutes later. She handed him the bottle and he took it.
" Thank you mommy." Inu-yasha said and ran out of the kitchen.
Inu-yasha watched Kagome sliding on her coat. Inu-yasha went up to her and shoved the little pink bottle in to her hands. She looked up at him.
" What's this Inu-yasha?" Kagome asked.
" My mommy said that I could have it and I'm giving it to you. It will help with the pain in your hands and will heal you faster. Try some when you get home." Inu-yasha said looking at the ground. Kagome put the bottle in to her pocket.
" Thank you for every think Inu-yasha. No matter what any one says, you're the best friend any one could have!" Kagome exclaimed and she got up on her tippy toes. And kissed Inu-yasha on the cheek.
" I got to go, Marry Christmas! Inu-yasha." Kagome yelled as she ran out the door. Inu-yasha touched his cheek and blushed. A small smile formed over his little lips.
Bed Time:
Lilly and Inu-yashio were tucking Inu-yasha in.
" So are you going to tell me why you asked for my hand cream?" she asked. As she sat on hi bed.
" You asked for your mothers lotion?" Inu-yashio asked also sitting down.
" Well… When I opened my present from Kagome's gift to me, I found a hat." He pulled the hat from under his pillow and showed it to his mother. " Flip it over." He told her. Lilly read the sown words and signed.
"That's so cute. She had this costume done for you." Lilly said, but Inu-yasha shock his head.
" When I asked her about it she said that it took her forever, and she kept making mistakes. She had to keep washing it to get the stains out." Inu-yasha looked at them. Inu-yashio lifted an eye brow.
" Stains what stains?' Inu-yashio asked.
" I asked her the same thing. Kagome took of her gloves and showed me her hands. They were covered in gauss, and had bruises on her palms. She said she wasn't good at sowing. I asked her why? She said it was worth it to see me smile and be happy." Inu-yasha finished and looked up at his parents.
" I was wondering why she wore gloves at dinner. Oh, the poor little thing and you though some of my hand cream would ease the pain didn't you.?" She asked. Inu-yasha knotted.
" That's my boy always the gentle man! Your defiantly your fathers son." Inu-yashio said proudly as he ruffled Inu-yasha's hair. " You get to sleep now my son. I love you." Inu-yashio said as he leaned down and kissed Inu-yasha's for head.
