Summary: Inuyasha kisses Kagome on New Year’s Eve.
A/N I changed from the picture to New Year’s Eve partly because one of my favorite stories is Sleep Walking Chicken’s story about a New Year’s Eve kiss called Midnight Kiss. She does a much better job of setting up the New Year’s Eve Festival than I do. So go read her story.
At this point he was so tired of people minding his business that he just wanted to walk up to Kagome and kiss her and be done with it. Everyone in both worlds did nothing but nag about how important this kiss was to her. Kaede told him to put Kikyou behind him and show Kagome how he felt about her. Miroku was interested in showing him the various kissing techniques and how to smooth talk a girl to get her in the mood. Sango warned him that if he failed to make Kagome happy that she would use her extermination methods on him. Shippou was unbearable.He nagged him about all the times that he had gone to Kikyou and all the times that he had made Kagome cry and run home. He had to bop the runt on the head again and again to get him to stop. Even Myouga showed up with wisdom on how to treat a lady.
It was just as bad on the other side of the well. Souta offered to show him his moves and even told him that he could practice on him. Mrs. H was supportive. She kept making him ramen and telling him that he was just like a member of the family. Ji-chan was threatening. He kept throwing sutras at Inuyasha and telling him not to bring dishonor on his family of priests.
All of this over a kiss. Somehow the idea of a midnight kiss on New Year’s had taken on a life of its own in Kagome’s mind. She had talked to her friends on both sides of the well about it. Inuyasha did not understand why this had to be such a big deal. Why was it so important to her to be kissed at the stroke of midnight on New Years. She had never explained it to him. She had left it to her friends and relatives to harass him. He was backed into a corner. The kiss was going to happen because if it didn’t nobody on either side of well would ever speak to him again.
And so at 11:55pm on New Years Eve in Kagome’s era Inuyasha jumped into the well. When he exited the well house he was surprised at what he found. The shrine was lit with lanterns.There were many people milling around the shrine. Ji- chan was busy performing the rites associated with this day. Mrs. H was busy selling food and charms. Souta was with her. They all stopped what they were doing when they saw him and followed him.
Inuyasha could smell Kagome. She was standing in front of the sacred tree crying. He hurried to get to her. She had emphasized how important it was that the kiss must be done exactly at midnight. Finally, he reached the sacred tree. He was astonished at what he saw. Kagome was wearing a beautiful white kimono with what appeared to be flower designs in darker colors.Her hair was swept up and back in a a style that reminded him of his mother.
When he saw her face everything that he had thought about before was washed away. In her eyes he saw love, he saw absolution for everything he was and everything that he had ever done, and the person he wanted to be with forever. Gone were thoughts of Kikyou, the Jewel, Naraku, the Sword and all of his other trivial problems. In his eyes in that moment there was only Kagome.The shrine bell began to toll midnight
“ So kiss her already, Inu-no-nii-chan” yelled Souta.
Kagome flushed with embarassment. Inuyasha could smell her friends, her mom, her brother and her grandfather all nearby watching them. It did not matter to him at this moment. He bent down, took Kagome in his arms and kissed her full on the lips. They continued to kiss until the bell finished tolling. Suddenly , the bell stopped ringing and the fireworks began. They were so engrossed in each other that even that event did not startle them.
Finally, Kagome looked up at him and smiled.
“Thank you for coming. You made this the best New Year’s of my life. We need to help Mama and Ji-chan clean up the shrine before they go to bed.”
When they were done cleaning, the family went to sleep and the shrine was finally quiet. Kagome was so tired that she fell asleep in his arms. He carried her up into the boughs of Goshinboku and covered her with his haori while he holding her in his arms. As he stared at the woman he loved he realized that this had been the best night of his life. He was glad Kagome had suggested it. This kissing stuff was much better than Miroku had insinuated. Who knew that there would be fireworks?
