Dom: *rubs neck sheepishly* I got a couple reviews about this story—

Hibari: Do you need me to bite anyone? *raises tonfas*

Dom: *shakes head in negative* No, you don't need to do that. I was gonna say that I got a couple reviewers that they said that they weren't really a fan of yaoi and. . .

Kagome: They said they loved this story *looks up to me since I'm taller*

Dom: Yeah *blushes* It really warmed my heart to read your reviews. It was my first time writing yaoi too anyways, thank you VirusYoukaiChild for saying that this story is one of the best yaoi piece you've ever read so far…I'm not fishing for any compliments, but I personally think that this story is not really great…another thing is NekoGurl98, thanks for giving the story a chance despite that you're not a big fan of yaoi and said you loved it as well…and lastly for Suzume Batchii Taichi for being my first reviewer and supporting me all the way to the end; she never forget to drop a review in each chapter and I'm glad…thanks Suzume-chan!(if I may call you that). And for the others thank you as well *smiles*

Sango: Well, let's start the Omake

Dom: First Omake and since it's holiday season… By the way, a group of people is going to have a special appearance almost at the end of this oneshot.

~O*~O*~O*~O*

Disclaimer: Don't own

Note: The only people who knows Kagome's and Kyoya's relationship is Tsuna and the Guardians, Reborn, Byakuran (he suspected it and is correct), Hime (doesn't know if it's a rumor or not), Dino and Enma.

~O*~O*~O*~O*

Snow falls from the sky covering the ground with its beautiful, white, powdery ice. It was a beautiful day with people bustling roundabout since it's Christmas Eve. It was peaceful except for. . .

"STUPID COW!" a certain Storm Guardian bellowed from the mansion.

"TSUNA-NII! AHO-DERA IS TRYING TO KILL ME AGAIN!" a cow teen cried and ran to his brother-figure's office.

Said brother-figure groaned and massaged his temples due to the upcoming headache that his Guardians will most likely to cause.

The office's door slammed open and in ran Lambo who immediately ducked behind Tsuna's chair and hid with his crocodile tears streaming down his face.

Hayato followed the teen inside his boss's office and Tsuna has to stop himself before laughing out loud at his Storm Guardian's appearance.

"Ha-hayato, wh-what happened to you?" Tsuna managed to choke out.

Hayato gritted his teeth, "That stupid cow thought that it would be hilarious to put pink dye in my shampoo bottle, but guess what Juudaime? I'M going to have the last laugh in this stupid prank!" Hayato lunged across the table to reached Lambo who proceeded to ran away.

Tsuna rubbed his temples again as he watched—with slight amusement—his two Guardians running around his office.

"Knock, knock, Tsunayoshi-kun~!" a white-haired man sang by the entrance with Mukuro by his side.

"Byakuran, Mukuro, what are you both doing here? Mukuro, don't you have paperwork to do and what about you, Byakuran?" Tsuna asked as he goes back to signing papers and ignoring the still running Guardians in his office.

Mukuro and Byakuran shared a glance before laughing in unison.

The other three froze their actions and stared at the laughing men warily. Mukuro and Byakuran never get along and when they do something bad is going to happen and probably have started it. Just like the time when Kagome visited and stayed for a few days; both decided to make a certain someone jealous and it ended with Kagome trying to drag that someone out of the mansion and Tsuna ended up with a roomful of paperwork. Let's just say that Tsuna banned Mukuro and Byakuran to exchange ideas whether it be good or bad. Ever.

"W-wha…why are they laughing?" Lambo asked shakily.

Hayato shook his head, "I-I don't want to know," he said softly as they both inched slowly towards Tsuna.

Tsuna, gathering all of his courage to ask what was going on in their heads, asked, "Why are you both laughing together? Maniacally, I might add."

"You really don't know, do you Tsunayoshi?" Mukuro stopped laughing to stare at his boss straight in the eyes. All mirth disappeared and was replaced by seriousness.

"Uh, yeah. That's why I asked."

Byakuran and Mukuro shook their heads as their lips formed in a charming smile, "It's Christmas Eve!"

Tsuna stared blankly at them for a moment; unable to process the information and when it finally sunk in he dashed out of his office, "Oh my God! I can't believe I forgot! It's because of those blasted paperwork! Ugh, forget that, Reborn's gonna kill me!" his screams were heard throughout the mansion.

"Well, that went better than I expected to be," Byakuran commented as they watch the brown hair boss panicking and ordering the workers to put the Christmas decorations on.

"I haven't even shopped for gifts yet!" Tsuna whined before all of them heard the loud slammed of the door.

"I bet he also forget that we also have a Christmas party with our closest allies," Mukuro added. He sent a side-glance at the right-hand man only to see him dialing Tsuna on his phone.

"On it," Hayato put the phone by his ear, "Juudaime, I'm calling to remind you that we have a party with our family friends tonight."

"SAY WHAT NOW?! I OFFICIALLY HATE MY JOB! Thanks anyway—" Tsuna was about to hang up when Lambo took the phone from Hayato's hand.

"Tsuna-nii, Kyoko-nee, Haru-nee, Ipin, Maman, Hime-nee as well as the others who are in Japan will also arrive today. They're going to arrive in a few hours from now."

"WHAT? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ANYTHING?!" Tsuna screamed from the phone loudly that Lambo has to hold the phone away from his ear, cringing, while the other occupants could hear the yell.

"We either told you and you forgot about it or ignored or we forgot to tell you," Lambo explained.

"I am sooo going to kill all of you when I get back," Tsuna hissed before hanging up.

Lambo blinked and stared at the object in his hands, "For someone who's really forgiving and kind-hearted, Tsuna-nii sure is violent when pushed to his limit," Lambo paused then added, "I blame Reborn."

"So do we," Mukuro and Byakuran agreed while Hayato muttered his agreement even though he praised the hitman with all his heart.

~O*~O*~O*~O*

All of the Vongola Guardians, Byakuran, and Reborn stared in awe from where they're standing in the huge living room. Even the great Reborn, the indifferent Hibari Kyoya, and the sadist Rokudo Mukuro didn't even bother to mask their gaping faces.

If you were wondering why all of them are, well, shocked it's because in just small span of time, the workers managed to decorated the gigantic living room with the tree and all. Of course, it didn't help since Tsuna seems to be everywhere at once; either rearranging the furniture, helping decorate the tree, putting up mistletoes, wiping the windows, wrapping the presents, cleaning the room, putting food and drinks on the table. You could name any job and he's there. Flying or running.

"W-wow," Takeshi breathe out.

"He did this in only a couple of hours?" Lambo looked around in astonishment.

"If only he can work like this when he's doing paperwork," Reborn lowered his fedora when his shock wears off.

A ringing of beeps went off in the room and they all turned to look at the laptop which was conveniently on a table.

Tsuna stopped his decorating of the Christmas tree and flew by his computer with the others walking to the computer as well; curious who's calling in this time. His Flames died out and he raised a brow at the person who's requesting a video chat. He clicked the accept button and something popped out.

The scary lady from the scary maze game popped out screaming.

"HIIEE!" Tsuna shrieked as they all scrambled back a few inches away.

A voice laughed hysterically and got glares in return, "Gomen, gomen. I didn't know you guys are a bunch of scaredy-cats."

"Stop doing that, Kagome-kun!" Chrome reprimanded the caller as he stopped the video.

Sapphire blue eyes twinkled merrily, "Nah, it's fun scaring the crap out of you guys. Good thing I screen-capped your reactions. That would be the 27th if anyone is wondering," he added.

"How much?" Mukuro immediately asked.

"Let's see, respectable figures got scared of the Scary Maze Game Lady and Neo Vongola Primo screamed like a little girl in the process," Kagome mentally calculated the prize, "about 500," he shrugged.

Byakuran pushed Mukuro away, "That expensive? Can't you lower the prize? It is the season of giving."

"Fine," Kagome said, "100."

"Well, that's cheaper than your prizes," Reborn muttered.

"Fine, I'll put the money in your bank account—" Tsuna started.

"You didn't let me finish. I want 100 from each of you," Kagome crossed his arms. "It is the season of giving," he mocked Byakuran who pouted at his tone.

There was an outraged shout and it came from Hayato, "What?! You have got to be fucking kidding me?!"

"Nope," Kagome shook his head, "I'm serious. I want $100,000 from each of you. Take it or leave it," he said in finality.

"We're not going to pay that much of money—" Hayato started off, but stopped when he saw the picture of their reactions.

"Then I guess everyone in the world will see this. Your pink hair also stands out in the photo," Kagome pointed out.

Reborn elbowed Kyoya and Kyoya glared at Reborn.

"Do something," he hissed.

Kyoya growled and all of their attention directed to him.

"Kagome, it's Christmas, can you at least let this slide?"

Kagome made a thoughtful face, "Fine, I'll let it slide on one condition."

Most gave happy grins and cheered.

"What's the EXTREME condition?" Ryohei pumped his fist in the air.

"It only applies to Kyoya," Kagome said coolly.

They all grimaced and sent a glance at the Cloud.

"What is it?" Kyoya asked warily.

"I'll message you the condition," Kagome stated as he brought out his blue and silver iPhone and started touching the screen and typing his message.

Few moments passed and Kagome sent the message and almost immediately Kyoya received it.

Kyoya took out his black and purple iPhone and unlocked the screen. The people near him looked at his phone and saw the wallpaper.

"Awww, how sweet," Takeshi commented as he saw the picture of Kyoya and Kagome.

"Shut up, herbivore," Kyoya snapped, but all could see the faint blush. Kyoya tapped the message icon and read the text while the others who's tall enough and near the Guardian peered in curiously.

Kyoya widened his eyes in horror and stared at his lover incredulously, "You're joking right?"

Kagome cocked a brow at him and shook his head as he put his arms behind his head and interlocked his fingers.

"What does it say?" Lambo asked Reborn, Ryohei, Mukuro, Byakuran—who were both reading the text over Kyoya's shoulder—and Takeshi.

Takeshi leaned down and whispered it by Lambo's ear. Lambo listened eagerly and let his eyes widened when he heard it. He turned to the glaring-staring lovers and sweatdropped, "Is Kagome-nii serious?"

"Apparently," Reborn shrugged as he prepares to take out his checkbook. He already knows Kyoya won't give in to the condition.

"No," Kyoya gritted out.

Kagome leaned closer to the monitor, "Then I'll be expecting a million in my account," he smiled at them before lying down on his bed while bringing his laptop by propping it on his lap. "No exceptions even if you are my boyfriend."

"I don't hear you complaining when we do it," Kyoya grumbled, but took out his checkbook as well as the others.

Kagome's face burned in embarrassment, "Stop talking about our sex life as if you're just talking about the weather!" he said indignantly while the others laugh at their interaction.

Kyoya scoffed and turned away and asked, "Why are you calling anyway and why aren't you here yet?"

Kagome dropped the happy mask and opted for a sorry and grim expression, "Uh, that's the reason why I actually called."

"Is something wrong?" Tsuna asked worriedly.

"No. Yes. I mean sorta," Kagome said sheepishly and blew his previously chin-length bangs, but it was now side-swept and barely covering his eye, out of his face only to cover his left eye again, "There's a snow storm raging to where I am and all of the transportations are closed. The roads too," he released an irritated sigh, "that's why I'm in a hotel right now."

Chrome turned teary at the news, "Does that mean you're not going to be able to celebrate Christmas with us?"

Kagome stayed silent.

Tears welled in Chrome's eyes and she buried her face on Tsuna's chest where he proceeded to comfort her.

"After 10 years, things hardly change," Tsuna said softly.

Kagome sat up and put his laptop on the bed yet again, "I'm sorry, Tsuna. I really do want to celebrate it with you guys, but I guess it's not really meant to be," he offered them a sad smile, "I'll try to come on New Year's, I promise," he paused for a moment and looked to the window to his side then looked back again, "I hope all of you enjoy the party. Merry Christmas, everyone!" he gave them a smile before cutting the transmission off and closing his laptop.

Reborn sighed and walked up the stairs to his room, "All of us should get ready. The others are probably going to arrive soon."

They nodded and started helping around the house. Their moods dampen when they heard the sad news from their close friend.

~O*~O*~O*~O*

At 8, their guests finally arrived and they were in awe when they saw the decorations.

"Wow, this is the best Christmas decoration you have ever put on, Tsuna-kun," a long orange-haired woman complimented.

"Ne, Kyoko-chan will you believe that all of these were put it in a rush?"

"Probably not," Kyoko giggled, "so how are you and Chrome-chan?"

Tsuna scratched his head with a faint blush on, "Chrome and I are doing great. I was planning to ask the question."

"Oh my goodness, that's wonderful!" Kyoko squealed before giving the boss a brief hug and rushing to tell of Haru about the good news.

"Did I hear right?" a red-haired man with matching red eyes walked over to Tsuna, "You're planning to propose to Chrome-chan?"

Tsuna nodded meekly, "Yeah, but I don't know how I'm suppose to ask her. What if…what if she says no? Enma-kun, what if Chrome says no? I won't be able to take it! I would be devastated if she turned me down! I love her with all my heart and soul and…and…and," he panicked.

"And she loves you as well," Enma comforted, "Both of you have been together for almost 8 years. I'm kinda surprised that you're just thinking about proposing to her now."

Tsuna calmed down just a bit, "I don't know. Maybe because I had so many things in my plate for the past years that I only reconsidered about marrying her now," he sighed.

"If Kagome were here, he would lock both of you in a room together until you finally proposed to her," Enma shook his head at the amusing yet true thought, "Where is he anyway? Isn't he supposed to be here?"

Tsuna's mood saddened, "Hai, but there's a storm raging to where he's at and he's stuck apparently."

The Shimon Boss gasped, "Oh, Tsuna-kun I'm sorry. I'm sure that he would love to be here with us. By the way, do they know that we've already seen Kagome after these years?" he gestured at Kyoko, Haru, Bianchi, Ipin, and Maman.

"Nope, I think he's scared at what they are going to do with him when he shows his face to them after 10 years, but I wouldn't blame him. I am terrified as well," Tsuna shivered at the thought of the girls' violence.

~O*~O*~O*~O*

No matter how much he detested crowds, Kyoya is still here because it only happens once a year. Besides its Christmas. It's better to celebrate with your friends than being all alone. Like they say the more, the merrier!

Dino walked towards his former pupil and took a seat next to him, ignoring his glare, "What got you down, Kyoya?"

"None of your business, you clumsy buffoon," Kyoya glared at him.

Dino merely ignored the insult and laughed, "C'mon Kyoya, it's Christmas! You should be happy for this joyful occasion!"

Kyoya blinked at his proclamation then stared at his drink, losing himself in his thoughts all the while ignoring his former tutor.

"Oya, oya. What are you doing here Bucking Bronco?" Mukuro strolled in on the scene then sat next to the blond-haired boss. Even if he would like to fight with Kyoya, it would have to wait since this is the time for peace and happiness. Hey, he might be evil and a sadist most times, but he's not a complete jackass who's going to ruin something like Christmas. What? Do you expect him to be the Grinch or something?

"Keeping Kyoya company. He's been quiet the whole night and a bit sad. He seems so lost in his thoughts and it's kind of worrying me. Do you know why?" Dino turned to look at the hetochromatic-eyed man.

Mukuro blinked before chuckling as if remembering something, "Oh, it's because Kagome can't make it to the party. He's stuck in a storm somewhere."

Dino nodded in understanding.

"It's also shame since their anniversary is also on the 25th," Mukuro added.

"Oh yeah. How long have they've been going on?"

"Six months," Byakuran chirped happily as he literally popped out of nowhere.

Dino almost fell off the chair while Mukuro's eyebrow twitches in annoyance.

"Jeez. You almost gave me a heart attack," Dino said as he tries to slow down his heart rate.

"Gomen ne, but they have been together for almost six months and they've kept their relationship for so long that I'm impressed," Byakuran commented as he munched on his favorite treat, marshmallows.

"No one still knows, but us?" Dino raised a brow.

Mukuro leaned back on his chair after pelting some marshmallows on Byakuran's face and explained, "Well, Kagome only visits once a month and only staying for a week if we're lucky two weeks. Besides that, he doesn't really go out much with Kyo-chan since both have work to do and the only time they can be together is during early morning and night. So no one really suspects there's something going on with those two since they still act like their best friends."

The three previously speaking men were quiet and thought about the assassin's and the Cloud's relationship.

"Doesn't Ipin still have a crush on Kyoya, but sort of likes Lambo too?" Dino suddenly spoke.

"And Lambo likes Ipin back, but he's too afraid to confess," Mukuro added.

"I heard from Hime-chan that Haru still likes Kagome a bit," Byakuran continued.

"Who wants to make this interesting by putting on a bet?" Reborn suddenly appeared from nowhere with a scary glint shining in his eyes.

All three men were about to agree, but remembered who they are against with and closed their mouths…added to the fact that if Kagome and Kyoya found out that they were betting on them, they will kill them so they rather not go down that road. . .

Reborn deflated when he saw their expressions, but continued to urge them on. There is no way he's going to pass up the chance to earn money and being the better manipulator he is, he successfully managed to make all of the people bet on who will get together/confess/propose/or finding out relationships.

An hour before midnight

The party is still going on and nobody is drunk so far and that's good because if they start getting tipsy and start doing weird and crazy stuff someone or rather certain blackmailers will get a hold of some pretty embarrassing blackmail photos/videos. CoughMammonMukuroByakuranReb orncough.

Knocks from the door resounded throughout the room and they momentarily stopped whatever they were doing.

"Did you order something?" Chrome asked her boyfriend though she secretly hopes that he'll propose to her soon.

Tsuna shook his head and turned to look at the guests and they too shook their heads.

"Then who is it?" Enma asked.

They all shrugged at the question as Chrome walked towards the door to open it. They followed after her figure with their eyes until it was blocked by a pillar. They stood there curiously, waiting for her to close the door when she suddenly screamed and cried.

They immediately went on guard and ran after her. All of them were worried and when they arrived by the doorway, they caught sight of the female Mist Guardian hugging a taller man. They couldn't see his face due to it being buried on Chrome's long purple locks, but they could see the man's raven hair with natural blue tint with a bit of snow on it and his outfit that consist of black jeans, black hightops, blue sweatshirt with a hood and a black button-down plaid shirt over it.

When Chrome looked up, she broke down again and said six words that made their Christmas even better, "I can't believe you're here, Kagome-kun," she cried and buried her face again on Kagome's broad chest.

The man smiled and finally looked up at them. Their breaths hitched in their throat when sparkling blue eyes connected with theirs, "Yeah, I'm here," he said softly.

The most respectable figures of the mafia world can't believe when their eyes got watery as they all got emotional. One by one, they laughed and waited for their turn to welcome their friend. Or lover in someone's case, but not many knew that.

They all situated themselves in the living room when the women came back from the kitchen to get some more food and they promptly froze when they saw who was standing by the tree.

"K-kagome-kun?" Nana uttered.

Kagome turned to them and offered them a shaky smile, "H-hey, Nana-san."

Nana slowly walked over him and cupped his cheeks, "You've grown."

"U-un."

Nana gave him a brief smile before tugging on one of his ears.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow," Kagome winced as the others turned away to hide their laughs.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again, you hear me?! I don't want you to pull the same stunt as you did years ago," Nana reprimanded.

"Y-yes, yes. I promise. Just please let go of my ear," Kagome winced in pain.

Nana let go before giving the man a hug, "I miss you so much, Kagome-kun. When you left, it's like I lost a son and I don't want to lose any of my children," Nana sniffled.

Kagome hugged back hesitantly, "I'm sorry."

Nana laughed and pulled away, "It's alright, just don't do that again," she hugged him again before going to her husband's side where Iemitsu proceeded to wrap his arms around her and kiss the crown of her head.

Kagome smiled at the couple before a cookie omitting purple fumes flew by his face. He turned towards the offender, horrified, "B-Bianchi," he stuttered.

"You—you brat!" Bianchi exploded as she throws the cookies in her hand in a rapid face, "Do you have any idea, how much you worried us?!"

"Y-yes," Kagome dodges the cookies and realized it was the wrong thing to say since the cookies got faster.

"No, you don't! Let me tell you the right answer. You worried us so much that we were tempted to release Naraku from Vendicare just so you can come home!" Bianchi screamed.

"I-I can explain," Kagome raised his arms up in defense as he backs away slowly.

"I don't need your explanation!" Bianchi took one of the cakes from a nearby table threw it at him.

Kagome squeaked and ducked.

The cake whizzed past his head and hit the unfortunate Hayato right in the face. Poor Hayato, he was just behind Kagome watching the entertainment and suddenly he got a poison cake splat on his face. Hayato is down for the night!

Bianchi released a frustrated growl and took another cake and stomped towards Kagome.

Kagome watches the angry woman with growing terror, but kept his feet planted on the ground. When she was in front of him, he closed his eyes waiting for her to smash the cake on his face and being KO'ed when suddenly he was wrapped in a warm embrace. He vaguely heard Shamal muttering, "Lucky bastard."

"If you run away like that again, I will personally hunt you down and force you to eat my poison cooking," Bianchi mumbled on his chest.

Kagome nodded obediently, "Yes, ma'am."

Bianchi let go and Kagome stared at the three remaining women. He eyed them warily, but is ready for their upcoming violence towards him.

I-pin went first.

"Hi, I-pin-chan."

"Don't you 'Hi, I-pin-chan' me," she huffed and delivered a punch to his head to which he blocked, "You don't leave without saying a proper goodbye!" she sent him a flurry of attacks.

Kagome sighed and pulled the teenager in for a hug, "I know. I'm sorry. I might have come as a douche bag for doing that, but I really need to get away for the time being."

"Time being?!" I-pin pulled away a bit, "You left for 10 years! I thought…I thought that w-we might n-not see y-you again," I-pin finally cried.

Kagome comforted the young girl, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm the next biggest jackass in the world after Mukuro," he started.

"Hey!" Mukuro objected.

Kagome swiped a Christmas ball from the tree and threw it at him and it hit Mukuro square on the forehead, silencing him and making him rubbed his abused forehead.

"And I'm sorry for that. I promise you that it won't happen again."

I-pin nodded and let the other two to have their turn.

Kyoko and Haru slowly sauntered to him. Kyoko made the first move.

Kagome's head whipped to the side and rubbed his reddening cheek, "I deserve that," then groaned when Haru surprisingly hit him hard on the arm, "That too."

"Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!" they pounded their fists at him and Kagome just stood there taking it all in.

"Do you know how much you scared us?" Haru screamed.

"You're such an idiot!" Kyoko added while the others looked surprise when the woman called Kagome an idiot, "We were so worried about you!"

"Are you really that stupid?!" Haru continued.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry and I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight when I left all those years ago. I admit that I was only thinking about myself and I'm sorry. It's just," Kagome paused to take a breath, "it's hard for me to stay knowing it was my fault for bringing Naraku and that…I don't know. I guess I was pretty mad at that time and it clouded my judgment."

"BAKA!" the women finally screamed at him then broke down in his arms.

Kagome sighed yet again and hugged the two crying women, "Yare, yare, if I would've known all of you will be emotional and that I would be abused, I would've never come. Geez, mafia is supposed to toughen you, not make you a bunch off pussies."

Reborn walked over to him and cuffed him over the head, "I don't need to hear your smartass remarks tonight."

"Have a terrible Christmas to you too, you old geezer," Kagome growled.

"Brat."

"Ass."

"Moron."

"Douche."

"Idiot."

"Sadist."

The two men glared over the women's head with so much intensity that the audience saw electricity between them.

The audience sweatdropped, 'It's Christmas Eve, but you guys are still on it?'

"Let's all settle down," Nana said as she tries to placate the two men down, "The important thing is that Kagome-kun is back after these years."

The others cough and turned away including Reborn and Kagome.

"Wh-why are you guys acting like that?" Haru and Kyoko pulled away from the warm embrace.

Hime chuckled uneasily, "Hehe, you see. All of us here besides you two, okaa-san, Bianchi-san and I-pin-chan already saw Kagome-kun months ago, this isn't our first time seeing him."

Kagome offered them a sheepish smile and backs away, "Before accusations starts pointing at me, I would like to point out that Tsuna here didn't tell you when he had a chance," he slung an arm over the younger man's shoulder and moved him a bit in front of his body.

Tsuna snapped his head to him, "Wait, what?" he sweated a bit when he felt the glares, "Reborn knows about it so I assumed that he told you guys," he pointed at his tutor.

Reborn cursed under his breath, "Iemitsu knows it as well and for those times he's talking to Maman I thought he already informed her."

Iemitsu gave the hitman, the Sventratori assassin, the Guardians, and his son a blank stare.

They gave him apologetic/indifferent/amused expressions and turned away.

Basil snickered as well at his master's predicament, 'This is the start of a happy Christmas,' he thought as he watched the others reasoning and putting the blame on others to avoid the women's wrath. Now that they had seen it firsthand, they rather not go through what Kagome just did.

~O*~O*~O*~O*

They wasted at least 30 minutes bickering about whose fault it was when they finally gave it a rest. The party still went on and the Guardians asked Kagome how he is here.

"I saw how sad you guys were when I told you I might not be able to come so after I ended our call I checked the news and luckily the storm is not that dangerous anymore so I checked out of the hotel, took a cab, bought a train ticket, then when I arrived I went to a store, bought gifts, and called a friend to pick me up with my car, drop him off, then drove here," Kagome shrugged, "that reminds me," Kagome bolted out of the mansion and went to his car. When he came back he had a huge bag full of wrapped gifts, "From me to you guys," he threw the gifts to the respective people and warned, "Don't open it yet. It's not Christmas."

"Thanks Kagome-nii," Fuuta thanked him as he shakes the box by his ear, trying to figure out what kind of gift it is.

"No problem," Kagome smirked and took out a red box and gave it to Haru.

"What's this?" Haru looked at it questioningly.

Kagome offered a crooked smile, "It's a Christmas gift and a sorry gift. You know about me breaking up with you through a video. I hope that Haru forgives Kagome."

Haru giggled at the way he spoke, "Yes, Haru forgives Kagome," she leaned up and kiss him on the cheek.

A bright smile overcame Kagome's face and laughed heartily and hugged the younger and smaller woman, "Thank you," he whispered.

"You're welcome," Haru closed her eyes and hugged back.

Unaware to the two, there's a pair of glaring eyes watching them.

Kyoya clenched his fists and gritted his teeth when he saw his Kagome hugged his ex-girlfriend. His hands are twitching towards his box weapon.

"Oya, oya. What got you ticked off?" Mukuro went beside him and turned to where he was staring, "Oh-ho, is Kagome getting back together with Miura Haru?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Kyoya looked away from the scene.

"Really? Doesn't seem like it?" Mukuro pointed at the pair.

Kagome and Haru were talking when suddenly Reborn popped out of nowhere and pointed at the ceiling. They both looked up and saw a mistletoe. A faint blush appeared on their faces as shy expressions were etched in their features. Slowly, Kagome leaned down and pecked Haru on the lips before pulling away abruptly. Reborn left with a smirk on his face and let the two catch up once again when the awkwardness wore off.

Kyoya looked at where he was pointing and growled. If it weren't for Takeshi and Tsuna holding him back, he might've attack them. The two who were subduing the Cloud was alerted by Mukuro's questions and immediately went behind the Cloud if he decided to go rampaging all over the place and it certainly was a good choice.

"Kyoya, calm down. They were under a mistletoe so it doesn't count," Tsuna grunted as he and Takeshi tries to pull the Guardian away.

Kyoya growled and took a menacing step towards the pair.

"God, Hibari is strong," Takeshi muttered.

"I don't care," Kyoya referred to Tsuna, "Kagome is mine and I'd be damned if someone tries to take him away from me," Kyoya growled possessively.

Tsuna scrunched his eyebrows, "First of all, Kagome is not an object. You can't just claim him, he's his own person and second of all, can you hear yourself?" Tsuna hit him over the head and that snapped Kyoya out of his jealous haze, "Kagome loves you and he won't ever leave you. Sure, he doesn't like being referred to as an object, but didn't he promise to you that he'll always be yours? Kagome doesn't go back on his word," Tsuna told him.

Kyoya calmed down when he heard that and shook the hands off of his person and walked out of a nearby balcony; not forgetting to put on his black hood jacket over his grey button-up shirt and took a timeout.

Kagome and Haru were talking after the kissing scene when Haru brought up something.

"K-kagome-kun?" Haru started hesitantly.

"Yeah."

"For these past years, d-did you or are you still in a relationship?"

Kagome's eyes widened at the question and blushed, "Um, actually I'm in a relationship right now," he rubbed his head.

Haru's eyes widened at that, "O-oh," she deflated. After these years, she never truly got over him. Sure, she dated, but she always breaks it off 'cause she's still in love him and hearing that he moved on…it broke her heart. She felt so stupid right now, 'I should have known. He moved on without me, but it's not his fault. We were apart for years, but something's telling me that even though if he stayed, our relationship still wouldn't work.'

Kagome caught the tone of sadness, "Hey, what's wrong?" he looked worried.

Haru snapped out of her musings and her eyes met up with worried blue eyes. She gave him a watery smile, "It's nothing. I-I'm happy for you."

"Oh, um, thank you," Kagome smiled at her then Kyoya's exiting figure caught his eyes, "Would you excuse me for a moment?" Kagome ran after his lover.

Haru watched after him and gave a sad smile. Her intuition is telling her that she already met Kagome's true love. She released a sigh, 'Oh Kagome-kun.'

~O*~O*~O*~O*

Kagome followed Kyoya with a worried frown. He opened the double doors and poked his head out only to see Kyoya leaning on the rails with his sights set on the beautiful city. He stood next to him with his back on the rails and facing him.

It was silent. Neither one of them is breaking it. You could see their breaths in the air despite the Christmas lights surrounding them and the lights in the living room. It started snowing adding more effects on the surreal sight.

"You okay?" Kagome broke the silence between them.

"Hn."

Kagome stared at him for a while before releasing a sigh.

The next thing Kyoya knew, there was a kiss planted on the corner of his lips.

Kyoya turned to the blushing younger man and leaned down to kiss his nose, amused at his lover's actions, "I'm fine. I just need some time to myself."

Kagome smiled, "I'm glad. We should go. Christmas is almost here," Kagome tugged on his hand and intertwined their hands.

When they arrived inside, they immediately let go and walked to their friends.

Kagome whispered something in Tsuna's ear and nudged him on. Tsuna looked at him horrified before shaking his head. Kagome sighed in irritation and whacked him over the head and pointed at Chrome who was talking to the other women.

"One more minute to the extreme!" Ryohei said excitedly.

They begin their countdown and as the clock strikes twelve, cheers and laughter rang out and greetings were said.

"Merry Christmas!"

For several minutes it was noisy and when they settled down, Kagome chose that time to hit Tsuna over the head again. That made the entire attention gather to them; Kagome smiled sheepishly before backing away, making Tsuna in the center of spotlight.

Tsuna gulped and looked at his friends for help only to be met with 'go on' looks. He sighed as he fiddles with the small box in his jacket pocket, nervously. He slowly strides over Chrome and stared down at her eyes.

"Ch-chrome, we've been together for almost 8 years and we've been through a lot of things over the course of the years."

Chrome nodded as she looked at him nervously; wondering what he is up to.

Tsuna released a shuddering breath and slowly kneeled on one knee and it drew gasps from everyone. Well, everyone except for the people who already knows that this is going to happen.

Chrome gasped as her eyes turned watery as she sees her long-time boyfriend kneel before her.

"W-will you, Dokuro Chrome, marry me and give me the honor to be your husband?" Tsuna pulled out the ring. It was simple yet elegant. It's a silver band with a heart diamond and smaller diamonds on either side of it.

"Ts-tsuna-kun," Chrome covered her mouth as tears of joy started flowing down her pale cheeks, "Yes. Yes!" Chrome laughed.

Tsuna smiled and swung her around in happiness and when he let her down, he put the ring on her left ring finger and sealed the deal with a gentle, but passionate kiss.

Kagome snapped a picture for safekeeping before setting off the confetti, "Congratulations, you two and Merry Christmas!" he cheered as the others followed his example.

They all greeted the couple with their blessings as the party goes on. Kagome saw Kyoya snuck out again to the balcony and followed him.

"Hey," he waved.

Kyoya nodded then looked back to the view.

Kagome took out a purple box and gave it to him, "Happy Anniversary," he mumbled before turning away with a light blush.

Kyoya raised a brow at the gift before unwrapping it. It was a silver bracelet with a silver metal piece in the middle with his name engraved on it in with Roll and Hibird underneath his name. He turned it back and saw a heart then Kagome's name.

"I really don't know what else to get you so I went to buy you a customized bracelet. I know it's pretty stupid, but like I said I really don't what else—" he was cut off by Kyoya's lips.

"It's cute just like you," Kyoya pulled away and put the bracelet around his wrist.

"I'm not cute," Kagome pouted and Kyoya pecked Kagome's pouty lips, "Yes, you are especially when you make that face," he pointed at Kagome face.

Kagome rolled his eyes then took out his iPhone. He tapped on something then he pulled Kyoya next to him, "C'mere. I want to take a picture of us for our first Christmas together as a couple. Say cheese."

"I rather not."

Kagome tapped the shutter button and the phone took the photo. He looked at the preview and approve. He quickly made it to his new wallpaper.

When Kagome was busying himself with his phone, Kyoya silently went behind him and took out something.

Kagome jumped when something landed on his chest, "Huh? What's this?" he picked it up.

Kyoya hugged him from behind and rested his chin on the other's shoulder, "It's a locket. It's something similar to what you gave me."

The locket is shaped as heart in the color of gold. It contains a photo of them standing next to each other with their weapons drawn out as well as their box animals. Kyoya held an indifferent face while Kagome put on a cool expression with a slight smirk tilting his lips. On the left side of the locket, there were a few words that warmed Kagome's heart.

Aishiteru, Kagome

~Kyoya

Kagome smiled and turned sideways, "I love it," he kissed him on the cheek.

"I'm glad that you do," Kyoya said then was about to add more, but closed his mouth.

Kagome saw it and turned to him fully, "What?"

"It's nothing."

"Kyoya," Kagome crossed his arms.

"I-I saw you kissed Haru," Kyoya admitted softly.

Kagome let his eyes widened a bit and let a soft smile graced his face, "Kyoya, were you jealous?"

The other stayed silent.

Kagome laughed and cupped his cheeks, "I love YOU. Not Haru. I liked her not loved. You're the person that I love. Didn't I promise you that I will always be yours?"

Kyoya looked away from the sincere blue eyes of his lover.

"Hey," Kagome gently coaxed his lover to look at him. "Do you doubt me?"

"No, it's just that…I'm afraid you won't come back. Come back home. To me."

The shorter man smiled, "I'll always come back. To you. You guys are my home especially you, Kyoya."

Kyoya shook his head amusedly before saying the three words he won't ever get tired off saying, "I love you, Kagome."

Kagome's eyes softened, "I love you too," he paused when he looked up and pointed, "Look, a mistletoe."

Kyoya looked up as well then looked down, "You made my Christmas better just by being here with me. Merry Christmas, koi."

"Merry Christmas," Kagome whispered before leaning up to kiss him. Both were unaware the audiences watching them.

"They're together?!" Most yelled in their whisper voices.

"So the rumors are true," Hime commented.

"Hi-hibari-san is with Kagome-nii?" I-pin managed to speak up. She expected to be heartbroken, but all she feels is lightness in her heart. She stole a glance at her childhood friends and blushed, 'I guess I really do like Lambo and not Hibari-san.'

Haru smiled as Kyoko asked her if she's okay to which she answered a 'yes'. 'I am happy for you, Kagome-kun. It hurts a bit, but I know that I'll get over it someday. I truly am happy for you and Hibari-san and I hope that both of you will be happy as well.'

The people who knew of their relationships and betted…well, they got a whole ton of richer now.

In a tree away from them, a silvery-blue haired* man was watching the scene below. His eyes are also a matching silvery blue. He adorns a white dress shirt with its black tie loosened halfway while his black coat on his shoulders. He's also wearing dark pants and dark combat boots. Weird thing about this man is that he is glowing a whitish color and that he looks remarkably like Kagome.

"Ne, Kaname, why are you spying on Kagome-kun and the others?" a baritone voice asked below.

"Whoa!" this Kaname person fell backwards and landed on the ground. He opened his eyes, groaning, and saw seven figures looking down at him in worry. He immediately sent a punch at the golden blond spiky-haired man, "Are you trying to kill me?!" the blond dodged.

Someone snorted, "You're already dead. Nothing is going to happen to you."

"Shut up, Tako-head!" Kaname snarled at G.

"What did you say to me?"

"Are you deaf too?"

G growled and was about to attack the founder of the Sventratori Famiglia if it weren't for Giotto holding him back.

"It's Christmas for God's sake," Giotto was cut off by Knuckle.

"Giotto," Knuckle sent him a look.

"Sorry. It's Christmas, can't you get along for at least one night?" Giotto rephrased his sentence.

"Che," G crossed his arms.

"Tch," Kaname sat up and dusted the snow off of his person.

The others sigh.

"Kaname-kun, what are you doing here?" Asari asked the Founder once again.

Kaname shrugged, "I don't know. I just felt compelled to be here. He is the last member of our Family and I just want to check if he's alright."

"Nufufufu, correct me if I'm wrong, but are you starting to worry about Kagome-kun?" Daemon chuckled.

Kaname blushed, "Oh shut up, melon-head! I'm going. Kagome is fine so my job is done," with those words said he disappeared in burst of red flames with the hints of purple, green, indigo, and blue.

"You have to open your mouth, don't you?" Lampo lazily drawled out.

A tick mark appeared on Daemon's head and he flashed his scythe, "You better hide, Lampo 'cause if I find you I'm going to skin you whether you're alive or not!"

Lampo squeaked and he disappeared in green flames as well; Daemon following him in indigo.

The others sighed again and one by one they disappeared in a burst of flames corresponding with their Flame colors except for one person.

The First Generation Cloud Guardian looked up from the ground to the tree and disappeared in his flames and reappeared on a branch, standing. He leaned on the trunk and stared at Kaname, who the others assumed went away, but in reality he only teleported on a high branch where he can't be easily seen.

"How'd you know I was still here?" Kaname spoke from his place, sitting on the branch like he was previously before Giotto scared the crap out of him.

"I know you too well," Alaude shrugged.

"Right," Kaname rolled his eyes.

They were silent. It was silent until Kaname opened his mouth.

"They remind me of us," he said softly. "Before the shitstorm happened."

"What do you mean?" Ice blue eyes snapped towards him.

"I don't know. Everything reminds me of us when we were in their age. Sometimes they make me wish to relive it again."

"Do you regret it?"

"Regret what? Ending our relationship and marrying her?"

Alaude nodded.

Kaname shook his head, "No. She gave me three beautiful children and loved me despite me being a killer. I would do it over and over again if I was given the chance. I loved her, my wife. I still do."

"She wasn't the first one to love you despite being a killer."

"I know and in both cases, I loved them too. Do not doubt what I felt for you, Alaude. What I felt for you was real. It just so happened that I chose my duty over love. Over you and for that I am sorry. I am sorry for not choosing you, but I do not regret choosing her."

They were silent again. Mulling on the words in their heads.

Kaname sighed stood up and prepares to leave, but was interrupted by Alaude pulling his hand and slamming him on the tree.

"Ow."

Alaude swiftly trapped Kaname's hands by putting it over his head and putting his knee between his legs.

"Alaude, let go," Kaname struggled from his hold and froze when he felt Alaude's hot breath on his neck.

"No," Alaude continued to nuzzle his neck, all the while enjoying Kaname's blushes. When he thinks that Kaname had enough, he pulled away.

Kaname stared up at him wondering what he's going to do next only to squeak when he saw him leaning down. He closed his eyes waiting for it, but when nothing happened, he cracked an eye open only to find him gone, "Ass," Kaname muttered darkly. He jumped down the tree and as he turned around, he bumped into a hard chest.

"It's not nice to call people names, Kaname-kun," Alaude almost purred out and quickly captured Kaname's lips.

Kaname's face turned a bright red that you could've mistaken it for a Christmas light when he felt Alaude's soft lips descended on him.

Alaude pulled away and licked his lips and looked at Kaname's expression and chuckled, "You shouldn't make such a face or I'd be tempted to eat you up," he whispered seductively by his ear before disappearing in a burst of purple flames.

Kaname's fists shakes in anger, "You—you bastard! I-I'm a married man!" and heard a chuckle wafted in the air in return. Kaname continued to curse before disappearing as well.

With the others

Kagome pulled away from the embrace, "Did you hear that?"

Kyoya shook his head.

"Probably my imagination," Kagome let it go, "We should go inside before we freeze our butts off," Kagome dragged him back inside while their audience scrambled away to avoid receiving the couple's feared wrath.

"I'm really glad you're here," Kyoya said as they interlocked their fingers together.

"Me too. Merry Christmas to all of us," Kagome leaned up a bit to kiss him on the cheek before entering the room again.

~Fin

~O*~O*~O*~O*

*-Kaname's hairstyle is like Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians

~O*~O*~O*~O*

Dom: *stares at the screen*

Kagome: What are you looking at?

Dom: 22? 22 freaking pages long with almost 8,000 words? Holy sh—this is the longest chapter I've ever written! But now I have a cramp on my neck…Anyway this is one of my planned Christmas oneshot that I'm planned to write this break…I'm so sorry if there's little to none Kyoya/Kagome fluff, but there is no way I am going to erase this whole thing. It took me hours to write this freaking thing! Anyways, Happy Holidays! If you don't celebrate it, I'm sorry. Hope you like it *smiles* If anyone is wondering how Kaname well, showed up is because of Bankotsu's necklace—well Kagome's necklace now. It's an heirloom in the Sventratori Famiglia and it works just like the Rings.

Update note: I was kind of thinking a short prequel for Alaude/Kaname. When I was re-reading the story, it kind of occurred to me that Kagome is a direct descendant of Kaname since their family is the main branch, but in order for that to happen, Kaname has to marry someone and produce heirs. (And I'm not going for the easy way that he has brother or sister bc I'm just that horrible) And I wrote it on a whim about Alaude/Kaname and my brain started working and thought "That's kind of a sad ending for the two of 'em… Let's write it!" I thought it would be fun to explore it so if you are interested, just keep a lookout hahaha XD
