Maids A-Milking

Kagome was glad they had been so close to the village and on her way home for a visit when she found the glass perfume bottle. It was too fragile to survive a long journey. She had come just in time for winter exams, which she hadn't studied nearly enough for but then that was what friends were for. It had taken a few phone calls and a little convincing but she had finally gotten the other girls to meet her at their usual café for a help-Kagome-study session.

Ayumi and Eri took turns explaining the course material and most of it even seemed to be sticking, but when they started in on physics Kagome felt as if her brain was about ready to explode. What they needed was a break and maybe something cold to drink. As if reading her mind the waitress stopped at their table with a tray full of drinks.

"Complements of the man at the bar." She said, moving to gesture at the empty counter. "That's funny. He was there a moment ago. Must be why he asked to include this." Placing the milkshakes on the table, she pointed to a tag tied to the base of one of the glasses.

"Looks like you have a secret admirer, Kagome." Eri teased, pulling one of the drinks closer to her.

'Not as secret as he'd like to think,' Kagome thought as she smiled and fiddled with the tiny tag.
