Kagome could barely contain her enthusiasm.

Precisely five years ago, she and Inuyasha shared the kiss that marked the beginning of everything.

And five years from now, Kagome was sure she'd still remember how magical it felt. The lights. The band. Slow dancing to Thing For You. How his lips touched hers and a crowd of thousands disappeared.

Which is why she knew from the moment Hinder announced a concert in their town on the exact same date of their anniversary, that she had to take Inuyasha as a gift. Even the most cynical of men couldn't ignore a sign when the stars aligned and Kagome was no cynical nor man.

She had made the purchase the very night the tickets were available, not wanting to ever risk them getting sold out before she secured theirs, but steep prices aside, this was the easy part.

Keeping it from Inuyasha had been the real challenge.

It was a true miracle that Kagome made it. She had lived in constant fear that he would see right through her or that she wouldn't be able to hold her tongue for much longer. The temptation to tell him was almost irresistible. Almost.

Retrieving the little cards from their hidden place — the far end of the spice cabinet Inuyasha avoided like the plague — Kagome walked with her hands behind her back to the living room, where her boyfriend sat casually on the couch.

"Alright, it's gift exchanging time."

Inuyasha put his phone down, a devastating grin slowly gracing his features.

"And what makes you think I have a gift to give you?"

"Because you do."

He rolled his eyes and Kagome chuckled.

"Smartass," Inuyasha muttered, "I'm guessing from the way you're nearly jumping from one foot to the other that you wanna go first."

She nodded and brought her hand upfront to finally reveal its content.

"Hinder is playing tonight and I bought you a ticket," Kagome blurted out "actually, I bought us two tickets," she clarified, her fingers sliding so the second ticket could be seen.

"Kagome—"

"Yes, I know we had a budget limit. I just thought that the opportunity was too perfect to ignore. I mean, when will a Hinder concert ever happen here, on this, of all days? It's gotta be kismet, right?"

"Kagome—"

"Plus, don't you think we deserve to have some fun? Even if it's a bit expensive? How long has it been since we've done something for the hell of it? Let's go have an adventure and… why aren't you excited?" She questioned, noticing that he looked less thrilled the more she rambled.

Inuyasha sighed and got up, making his way to the notebook case laying on the table. Kagome watched, puzzled, as he unfastened the zipper, fished something out of it, then returned to her side.

"Happy anniversary," he said, offering her an identical pair of tickets.

Dumbfounded, Kagome stared at them. At Inuyasha. And back at them.

"You gotta be kidding me."

"Nope."

The couple started laughing. Uncontrollably.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Inuyasha and Kagome asked, in unison. "I wanted it to be a surprise." They replied simultaneously.

Kagome giggled.

"Are we becoming the same person?"

Tickets still in hand, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Fine by me." Inuyasha pulled her close, his hands finding her waist with expertise.

"What do we do now?"

"We can try and sell two of these, get our money back," he suggested, "or we can invite Miroku and Sango to come along."

"It's only fair, considering they were there the last time."

"Hey, as long as we get to ditch them again."

"Are you planning to take me on a romantic getaway?"

"You bet your sweet ass I am."


A/N.: inukag-week wrote this for the "anniversary" prompt. It's not much and I'm super late, but here it is.

Also, I really love Thing For You by Hinder so if this sounds awfully self indugent... it's because it is.
