The room was quiet. Mayumi took this as a good sign. They must be enjoying her cooking. Either that, or they were afraid to open their mouths and vomit all over the floor.
Akio and Eiji were scarfing down their meals like wild dogs. The two boys would eat anything, so it wasn't a definite sign that it tasted good.
Kagome and Inuyasha ate slowly. Neither one of them would look at the other. They'd gotten into a fight (again) earlier that day. It had started over something called ramen. Of course, by the end of the fight, Kagome had stormed off and Inuyasha had left an interestingly shaped hole in the ground.
"Dad, can you pass the soup?" asked Akio, after finishing his fifth bowl of soup.
"I'd rather have ramen," muttered Inuyasha under his breath as he passed the soup to his oldest son.
Akio looked like a younger version of Inuyasha. He had silver hair and golden eyes. His fangs and claws were smaller, but there all the same. The only difference was the ears. Akio had two nicely shaped human ears sticking out the side of his head.
Eiji, the youngest of the siblings, also had golden eyes. His hair was black and two fuzzy black triangles stuck out the top of his head. He smiled a lot, and his smile was not menacing in the least, because he had not been gifted with his father's fangs. He looked more like Kagome.
Then there was the middle child, Mayumi. She was Inuyasha and Kagome's only daughter, and had recently decided to take up the art of cooking. Mayumi didn't look like either of her parents, but she still appeared to be 100% human. She had long black hair and soft violet eyes. She didn't have any fangs, claws or dog-ears. She appeared perfectly normal. At least until she got angry and started uprooting trees.
"We don't have any ramen, Inuyasha," said Kagome. She sighed. He'd been going on about ramen all day. Did he have to bring it up when his daughter had made dinner?
"Well, we should go get some," said the slightly peeved half-demon.
"There is no ramen in this era."
"Then let's go down the well!"
"Inuyasha, we are not going to pay my mother a surprise visit for ramen."
"Why not? She loves me! She won't care! In fact, she'll probably make us stay for the night!"
"We can't leave the kids."
Inuyasha scoffed. "Ha! Akio's almost twenty! He's old enough to live on his own! And Mayumi and Eiji know how to take care of themselves!"
"Inuyasha, I said NO!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"I'm going!"
"Don't make me say it!"
"Go ahead!" shouted Inuyasha back as he started to get up and walk out the door, "I'm not afraid of you!"
"Inuyasha… SIT!"
There was a loud crash from outside as Inuyasha smashed into the wood porch.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!!!"
Splintering wood and the cries of a hurting half-demon split the night. Kagome had gotten up to go 'sit' him some more from where she could watch.
"Looks like I'm going to have to fix the porch again," said Akio, shaking his head. He then picked up the pot and started to down the last half of the soup. Eiji was flicking his ears playfully and giggling like a girl. Kagome was giving Inuyasha an ultimatum while struggled to pick himself out of the thirty foot hole. Sometimes thought Mayumi I think I'm the only sane person in this house. Oh well, guess I better start cleaning up.
