Merry X-mas… or not,

"So cute! Thank you Inuyasha!" Rin squealed, putting the silver bracelet next to her as she leaned over the gap of the couches to give her brother-in-law a hug of gratitude.

"Keh." Inuyasha smirked and returned the hug with a pat on her back. "Kagome picked it out actually."

"Ohh, Kaomge-chan, thanks for the bracelet too!" the brunette shouted over her shoulder to the kitchen, where Kagome was making them hot chocolate. "No problem!" was yelled back.

"Hm… what did you get me Sess?" Rin asked her husband, who sat next to her, eyes filled with boredom.

"Here." Sesshomaru said, picking up a package from under the Christmas tree that was next to him.

Rin tilted her head curiously, taking the small wrapped parcel and gave Sesshomaru a peck on the cheek for thanks. Kagome stepped into the cozy living room with a tray of steaming coco and a plate of sprinkled cookies. "What did Sesshomaru get you?"

"Hmmm… I'm not sure…" Rin frowned as she shook the present delicately. It sounded like… big beads inside a plastic container… did he buy her a bead collection?

"Well, open it." Kagome told her eagerly. Inuyasha choked on his drink as he smirked at his older brother. Boy… was Rin in for a surprise…

Nodding, the brunette carefully peeled off the wrappings and the colored strings. Her bright twinkling brown eyes dimmed when she saw what Sesshomaru had given her.

"Calcium pills?" Rin said dubiously as she picked up the brown plastic bottle and turned it in her hands. Kagome gave Sesshomaru a weird look and mouthed confusedly, "You got her calcium pills?"

Inuyasha, catching the question his wife directed at his older sibling, laughed out loud. Sesshomaru shot Inuyasha a death glare as he then turned his attention to his wife.

"This Sesshomaru was merely concerned for your welfare. You do not drink milk or eat any dairy products." He said to her, concern shining in his eyes as they dug into her annoyed ones.

"I'm touched that you're so worried about me, Sesshomaru… but seriously, calcium pills! Are you saying that my bones are weak!" Rin said, exasperated.

Sighing in defeat, Sesshomaru just bent over and kissed her on the lips, silencing her. "This Sesshomaru will make it up to you next year."

"Feh, he'll probably buy you vitamin pills next time!" Inuyasha snorted, inwardly gleefully celebrating since his sister-in-law loved his present more than his brother's.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said, astonished and swatted him lightly on the shoulder.

"What?"

"… Next time, I'm making you sleep on the couch." Rin said pouting and then put the bottle on the table.

"Hn…" Sesshomaru grunted monotonously. Though… on the inside… he was dreading that…

Note: Rin and Kagome are about 25, Inuyasha's 28, Sesshomaru's 33.
