Blue Christmas by In The Arms Of A Stranger

Chapter One

((Kagome))

Her vision blurred with tears as she stumbled through the living room, towards her bedroom. The door was flung open and she lunged herself at the bed, muffled sobs escaping into her pillow. She cried until the late at night, she cried until she didn't think she could cry no more, then she fell to sleep, her dreams filled with sweet goodbye's and empty promises, the heartbreaking phone call she had received not that long ago still fresh in her mind.

((Flashback))

"Sorry babe... but I'm leaving for the weekend on business"

"But what about Christmas"

".... I'm sorry"

"No your not, you do this to me every time"

"kago-"

"don't you kagome me, you did this on my birthday, your birthday, and even last Christmas, if your not going to come back for Christmas then don't come back at all!" With that said kagome slammed down the phone her hands slightly shaking as she placed them over her face and cried.

((End Flashback))

Kagome tiredly opened her eyes and stared up at the off white color off her bedroom ceiling. "It's to early....." She cast a small glance at the half closed bedroom window, faintly sighing at the sight of freshly fallen snow and the sun just starting to peek over the mountain tops. Her eyes slowly slid shut and as she waited for sleep to take her again, but she found herself restless now. Groaning in annoyance she threw the heated blankets off herself and tiredly stumbled out of the room, her shoulders hunched as she walked into the kitchen for a drink

"I'll have a blue Christmas without you....." A small sob escaped her causing her to break back into tears "some Christmas..." she murdered as she grabbing herself a cup of coffee and headed into the living room to stare at the large expensively decorated Christmas tree

"I'll be so blue thinking about you.... That's for sure..." she sighed heavily and took a sip of her coffee, unconsciously tracing the large cartoon moose plastered onto the side of it, the words "number one teacher" in large bubble letters under it. Shippo had given to her for last Christmas, blushing the entire time.

"Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree won't mean a thing if you're not here with me..... Oh... sesshy... please come back..." she whispered the last part as she laid down on the couch, curling up into a slightly ball.

"I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain; And when that blue heartache starts hurting You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white, But I'll have a blue-" Before she could finish the line a low voice interrupted her "Blue Christmas......" kagome quickly sat up, causing her to nearly fall off the couch as she stared up into a pair of golden eyes "sessho-" before she could finish the speaking the golden eyed man wrapped his arms around kagome's waist and pulled her towards him, claiming her lips in a long awaited kiss. Unable to stop herself kagome started to lightly cry as they parted, her head falling to rest against his shoulder as he continued to hold her.

"I...love you kagome"

"I love you too Sesshomaru..."
