Sango sighed and closed her locker, watching the stream of her classmates filter out into the winter sun. It was Christmas break, finally. No more exams, teachers, presentations, or perverts looking up her uniform skirt (for at least three weeks).
"Sango!"
Well, scratch that last one.
She turned around to see Miroku Shizu making his way towards her, smiling charmingly. She smiled back, feeling a warm-cold sensation build in her stomach. Sango ignored it as he stopped in front of her, hands clasped behind his back.
"Ready for the holidays, Sango?" he asked.
"More or less," she said. It was just her and Kohaku, as well as Kagome and her family (which had, as of recently, spread to include the reluctant Inuyasha).
They put on their coats, and walked out into the chilly air. There was no snow on the ground - there never was, but it was cool enough that Miroku pulled out a pair of mittens as well.
"Wanna hold that for a second?" he asked impishly, tossing her a well-wrapped box labelled 'for Sango'. She blinked, and went red.
"Ah…thanks,"she muttered, looking at her shoes. What an odd little scuff mark… He watched her happily, and then warned her not to open it until Christmas.
"You'll spoil the fun if you do!" he chirped.
"I…didn't get you anything," she half-apologized. He stopped moving in front of the gates to his house, as did she.
"What I want doesn't come in a box," he told her quietly, and the leaned in, pressing warm lips to hers in a soft gesture of affection. She nearly forgot to hold onto the box, being pleasantly shocked by the early gift he was giving her.

Crap-tastic ending, but I couldn't find anything else. Any conjectures on what's in the box? (Does anyone care?) I never did figure that out, so I'm curious as to what people think.
And for those who don't worry so much about political corectness, a plain and simple Merry Christmas to you. Oh! And a special Happy Yule to SHUlover11, who is entirely too exciteable, and will be getting a heterosexual bookmark someday soon.
