*Winter Wonderland*
Chapter 2
An Explanation
The five companions were sitting around a campfire, all of them at different corners surrounding the enferno. The bright orange flames flickered in the darkness of the night. The sun had set a little while ago, just as they had set up camp. Three of the companions were shivering from the cold, being wet from the hotsprings earlier. Miroku sat on one side of the fire, staring at Sango and rubbing the lump on his head that he had recieved. Shippou was on his right, chowing down on some fresh friut contentedly. Sango was next to Shippou trembling as the scene with her and Miroku played over and over again in her head. She was trying so hard to forget it, but with no avail. Then there was Kagome sitting in front of Inuyasha (to the left of Miroku) cuddling up against his soft red kimomo with her back resting against his chest and her head under his chin. Inuyasha had his arms wrapped around the cold mortal trying to warm her up. She smiled and shifted her position so that she was looking into his golden amber eyes.
'Now is the perfect time to explain to everyone what Christmas spirit is... she thought to herself.'
Meanwhile, the hanyou had found this the perfect time to be romantic. He moved his face close to Kagome so their noses touched. She blushed and smiled at him. He was about to kiss her when she suddenly blurted out,
"Does everyone know what Christmas spirit is?"
Inuyasha snapped his head back, startled from the sudden outbust.
"What?!" he asked.
Miroku, Shippou, and Sango were now all looking at Kagome also.
"Pardon?" Sango asked.
"You know, Christmas spirit... it is kinda hard to explain..."
"Kagome, is it a food?" Shippou asked innocently.
Kagome laughed. "No... goodness, no! It is like a warm fuzzy feeling... well, not that you can understand that..." she added, blushing as she recalled how she had exlplained to Inuyasha what a warm fuzzy feeling was earlier.
"You mean warm and fuzzy like clothes?" Miroku asked.
"No... its..." Kagome started, but was interrupted again.
"Maybe how it feels to lay on fuzzy soft grass in the warm sun?" Sango questioned.
"Not quite... actually..."
"Are you sure its not a food?"
"No, my friend, its like clothes..."
"No, its like the warm sun..."
By then, Kagomes ears were starting to hurt by all of her friend's arguing.
"Ok! Ok!" She cried. "Obviously, you are all wrong, so just let me try to explain it to you!"
Everyone fell silent and turned their attention towards the mortal.
"Christmas is something my family and I celebrate... well, since my dad's from America, it's actually just me, Sota, and my dad... when he was alive, anyway... Well, it is confusing, so I won't bore you with the details... but Christmas is a time for giving and for love and peace on earth... back in my time, the stores sell wonderful toys for presants and families bake delicious cookies together, and there are parties and music and dancing, and mistletoe..." she said, smiling up at Inuyasha, (who had no idea what Mistletoe was), who smiled back at her.
"Wow, sounds like heaven..." Shippou whispered dreamilly. Everyone silently agreed.
"So... what do you think?" Kagome asked after a while. "Wanna try to bring Christmas spirit to Feudal Japan?"
Her friends all looked at eachother.
"Will there be food?" Shippou asked.
"And gifts?" Inquired Miroku.
"And peace and quiet?" Sango added, glancing at the monk.
"And Ramen?!" Inuyasha finished hopefully.
Kagome laughed and held up her hands. "Yes! There will be all of that!"
Everyone exchanged glances. "Hell yea!" Inuyasha declared. "Let's get ourselves some Christmas spirit!"
