Disclaimer - I don't own Inuyasha.

This is part of a series of one-shots based on Christmas songs in various fandoms. I hope you enjoy, and check out my other stories on my profile page.

The city is covered in snow tonight

The children are fast asleep

I'm waiting for him

But he's no where in sight

And I wonder if he can hear me

Kagome stared out the window. Cars were rushing by, and lights were blinking throughout the city. Normally, she loved Christmas Eve. But this year, she secretly wished that she wasn't home, but that she could be back in the Feudal Era. She missed her friends, and wished that they could all be together. Especially being with Inuyasha.

She still didn't know exactly how she felt about him. Most of the time, she was annoyed by the way he seemed to ignore her. All she was really good for, in his opinion, was for finding jewel shards.

But there were some times when she thought he felt more about her. She would often think about when he thought she had died in that fire, and she could have sworn that he had tears in his eyes. But he never said anything about it since, and she wasn't going to bring it up.

Hey Santa

Hey Santa (Santa)

I wish with all my might

Hey Santa (Santa)

Bring my baby home tonight

Kagome looked up into the sky, and for the first time since she was a little girl, she made a wish on a star. "Please, let me be with my friends this Christmas." Appropriate with the season, she made another wish. "Santa, bring Inuyasha to me."

She received no response, but part of her felt better. She reminded herself that she was only going to be apart from her friends for a short while; she was planning on returning to the feudal era just after Christmas. Then she could have another Christmas celebration with them.

Why does it feel like it's colder than winter

Even by the fire side

My baby said that he'd be home for Christmas

And now it's almost midnight

The clock struck 11:00. Kagome pulled her window closed, surprised she had been cold considering the freezing weather. The snow-covered streets just didn't seem to be as cold as the feeling in her heart whenever she considered that Inuyasha didn't care about her. She didn't even know why she felt such a strong connection with him. It must be the memory of my previous life, she thought. But that of course only brought thoughts of Kikyo, which was not putting her into a Christmas mood.

Christmas lights up and down the street

Are such a sight to see

But all the presents by the tree

They don't mean a thing 'til he's with me

The lights on the Christmas tree blinked, drawing Kagome's eye to look at the presents that surrounded the ground underneath the tree. Sota had been counting them all early that day, gloating that he had more than Kagome. She really didn't care all that much however, because what she really wanted couldn't be wrapped in a box. (Well, he could, but it would be really funny to see, and anyone who tried would probably be teared to shreds.

I know your sleigh is full inside

But wont you stop and give my baby a ride

I'll be waiting by candle light this Christmas

Ohhh

She finally pulled herself out of her thoughts and went to her bedroom. She climbed into bed, turning out her lights. Maybe Santa had already heard her wish, and Inuyasha was on his sleigh to come see her, her childish side seemed to say to calm her down. Her parents had always told her that Santa wouldn't come until after she went to sleep, and even though it had been years since she believed in Santa, part of her wanted to believe in Inuyasha.

Christmas lights up and down the street

Presents by the tree

I hear a knock

Oh, can it be

My wish is staring back at me

Kagome sat up straight, certain that her ears had played a trick on her. A second later, a pounding resounded from the direction of the front door. She threw back the covers and raced down the stairs. Only one person could be knocking that vigorously this late at night.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome launched herself at him.

"Hey, I decided to come visit you. Is that okay?" Inuyasha asked.

"It's perfect."

Hey Santa

Hey Santa (Santa)

I guess you heard me tonight, yeah

Hey Santa

Hey Santa (Santa)

I'm underneath the mistletoe with my baby tonight

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
