Inuyasha wasn't sure what to think of this whole "Christmas" thing. The carnival that Kagome had dragged him to was certainly strange. People walking around in groups, wearing weird costumes, and singing something called carols had him confused.
But Kagome was having a great time. And there were carts and booths with all sorts of nice-smelling food. Between those two details, Inuyasha decided that he was willing to give Christmas a chance.
"Hey, Kagome, what's this stuff," he asked, motioning to a strange, brown fluid. Little white things floated on its surface.
"It's hot chocolate," Kagome informed him, buying herself a cup. "And these are marshmallows."
"Sure smells good!" He reached out for the cup, wincing when Kagome smacked his hand away. "Ow! What was that for?!"
"Dogs aren't supposed to have chocolate," she scolded. "People say it makes them sick, and can even kill them."
"So?"
"So you're a dog demon. For all I know, it might be poison to you, too."
Inuyasha wanted to argue...but he couldn't find a way to counter Kagome's argument. In a way, it almost made sense.
Just then, he felt a tug at his sleeve. A little boy of about five stood beside him, gazing up at him almost worshipfully.
"Yeah, kid? What d'you want," he asked.
The little boy swallowed. "Are...are you Santa Claus," he barely whispered.
"Huh?" Inuyasha stared at the boy. "What's a Santa Claus?"
To his amazement, the child's face fell. It was as though all of his hopes and dreams had shattered at his feet. Turning, he ran off into the crowd.
"Mommy," he could hear him holler. "Santa doesn't like me!"
"Damn...that was weird," Inuyasha muttered, turning around--and cringing at the irritated look on Kagome's face. "So, what's the matter with you," he dared to demand, putting on what he hoped was a brave face. In the carnival's thick crowd, Kagome wasn't likely to stick him with her usual sit command.
Well, anyway, he didn't think so.
"You could've just played along," she shouted. "Or you could've been polite and told him no!"
"How could I do that, when I don't even know what he was talkin' about?!"
