A/N: And back to the silly and light part of the story. I think we will be wrapping this AU up soon, guys, so yeah. Enjoy!
Anonymous Gift
Kagome was talking to Nazuna about pros and cons of headphones while she felt someone approaching her. She turned her head and saw her hanyou historian stomping towards her with his mug in hand.
"Oi, wench!" he glared at her.
"What's up?" she asked with a smile. Her boyfriend was obviously annoyed. Nazuna looked at him and then at Kagome with unsure eyes, not wanting to be the witness of the quarrel. She hated when people were arguing, besides being near angry Inuyasha was kinda like being close to an iron pole during a storm, at least in her opinion. She never understood how Kagome could act so calm and even challenge the temper of her boyfriend.
Miroku, Sango and Kikyou, who were also in the common room, seemed to be very hopeful to see the entertaining spectacle. Inuyasha put his mug almost into Kagome's face.
"Did you touch my mug?" he asked. Kagome shook her head.
"Nope, not lately," she replied, pointing to her own mug standing on the table next to her. "See? I'm not stealing your cup anymore."
"Keh," he gave a nod and seemed to calm down a bit. "Then have a look."
Kagome took his cup in her hand and peered into it. That was odd, usually she was the one to put little gifts there.
There was something on the bottom of it. A couple of square packages. When Kagome read the name of the firm on top of the first package she felt her cheeks heat up immediately. She looked up to Inuyasha, who was glaring inside his mug.
"Um... What's wrong, Kagome?" Sango dared to ask after a minute of watching her friends looking inside Inuyasha's cup. '
"I guess Kagome found a gift that isn't to Inuyasha's liking," Kikyou shrugged. Nowadays she was on civil speaking terms with her former rival and love interest, but wasn't too friendly. Usually she stuck with her own friends. Now her comment wasn't to aggravate anyone, she was just amused to see the looks on the couple's face. She had saw what was in Inuyasha's cup earlier.
"Someone put ab... inappropriate gift in his mug," Kagome replied, blushing hotly and not daring to meet Inuyasha's eyes after the initial glance.
"What is it?" Nazuna asked curiously. Kagome gasped and covered her cheeks with her hands. "Come on, don't act like a bashful teen."
Inuyasha glanced at the smiling Nazuna, then around the room. And then he dumped the content of the mug onto the table top, making the audience gasp.
"Ah, a very practical, useful gift," Miroku chuckled and poked Inuyasha's side. "Whoever it was they got a good idea."
"Watch it, the only reason I'm not hitting you on the head is that there's no scent of you on them," Inuyasha growled.
"Well..." Sango said. "We're all adults here, it's just a bunch of condoms. I guess someone heard you're living together now and they decided it'd be funny to give you some... Settling down together gift."
"Or they just wanted to tease you two," Nazuna nodded.
"A stupid prank," Kikyou glared at the packages with disgust.
"Uh, still... Kagome was morbidly embarrassed that someone was sticking their nose into their private life in their work place, but was thankful that no one of her friends, not even Kikyou, wanted to tease them about it. Still, for her it wasn't a good fit for the gift, not mentioning the way it was given. Inuyasha looked insulted more than embarrassed.
"That goes to the trash," Inuyasha grumbled and gathered the packages in one hand.
"What? Why are you going to throw away perfectly good..." Miroku started, but a glare from the hanyou.
"They won't fit, so they're useless. But if you want them, here," and he offered the items to his friend.
