Real vs. Fake

“Your tree is so beautiful, if only ours looked like that.” That last couple words were aimed at him, he just knew. It was easy to tell, especially when his wife gave him a pointed glare while saying it. He gave an one-shoulder shrug, not dignifying her with a comment, after all it would end up with her winning the argument. He reluctantly admitted the Christmas tree looked good, very decorative with golden lights, twinkling ornaments and velvety bows.

“This is a real tree.” Kagome pointed out, the spiny leaves left a faint circle around the large tree. “That’s gonna be a lot of work cleaning up.”

“It was Kikyo’s idea,” Inuyasha grumbled, still upset that he had to sit through dinner like a child on punishment. It was all Sesshomaru’s fault. “She wanted to torture me.”

“No, Inuyasha, I believe the scent of evergreen would have emphasize Christmas.”

“It just smells like a big ol’ tree and it stinks.” Inuyasha said covering his nose. “It’s like when you’ve been outside for too long and the stench is in your hair… yeah like that.”

At Kikyo’s piercing glare, he wilted pathetically.

“Why didn’t we get a real tree Sesshomaru?” Kagome inquired with a pout. “I wanted to smell the evergreen.”

“Same reason Inuyasha gave.” This was the only time he would agree with that fool. And also he wasn’t about to clean up anything, so a fake tree was fine and dandy. Kagome would just have to deal with it.
