This is in response to the gift!fic post that I made offering a drabble or oneshot in the spirit of the season to those on my flist that requested them. For this particular piece, I married two of the requests. The prompts that each of them gave just sort of complimented one another.

Title: Hangin' 'round the Mistletoe
Type: Canon - takes place during the final winter before the defeat of Naraku
Rating: T

prompt from browneyedmami - some Inu/Kag something with them in the snow?

prompt from ladyathenis - While out on their travels, Kagome finds a bunch of mistletoe growing from a tree branch, and tells Inuyasha the XMas tradition of "kissing under the mistletoe"...
