AN: Ok a few things…Kagome's mom is going to be 'mom.' Its just easier…call me lazy. Oh and I think its funny Inu's obsession with ramen, my brother used to eat it everyday, sometimes for breakfast! Anyways, enough with my craziness, on with the story!

Chapter 3…Mmmm, Ramen!

"We will be back in a few days, Shippo." Kagome called from the edge of the well.

"Aww, Kagome, you just got here!" whined the young kitsune, jumping onto the edge of the well and crossing his arms.

"Yes, but don't you want all the goodies I am going to bring back?"

The little kitsune's eyes widened and his face changed in an instant. "Oh yeah! What are you waiting for then?" he jumped up and hugged the amused girl goodbye.

"Bye runt." Inuyasha grunted, as he got ready to jump down the well.

Before he could leave, Shippo wrapped his arms around his neck in a quick hug and said quickly. "I am glad you're better." Before running off, leaving the half demon gaping in shock.

He stared at Kagome. "Is everyone going crazy?"

"It was sweet." She smiled as she looked in the direction the little fox ran off to.

"Feh, sweet?" Inuyasha shook his head and jumped down the well, Kagome following him unable to wipe the smile off her face.

"MOM! I'm back!" Kagome called as the two walked through the door.

Mom turned from the stove and quickly came to give her daughter a hug. "I am so glad you are back! Everything okay?" she asked, releasing Kagome enough to look her in the face.

"Yes, everything is great." She said, sitting down at the kitchen table.

"It is nice to see you as well, Inuyasha." Mom said, returning to her cooking.

"You too," the half demon managed to say in between sniffing the amazing aromas coming from the stove.

She laughed gently at him. "Dinner will be ready soon, though I dare say I will need to add more."

Inuyasha blushed and looked down. Mom noticed and smiled, "Don't worry about it. I enjoy seeing you enjoy my food."

Kagome stretched. "Well, I could eat a horse!"

Inuyasha wrinkled his brow in confusion. "Why would you want to eat a horse?" he asked in disgust.

Kagome's only reply was to bang her head on the kitchen table, to the great amusement of her mother.

"Urg…I am so full!" Kagome exclaimed some time later, lying on her bed.

"MmmHmm." Inuyasha agreed from his spot on the floor, annoying the cat.

"You know if you keep annoying him, he will…(AHHH, damn cat!)…scratch you." She ended with a smirk as he nursed his hurt hand. She yawned. "I am going to take a bath before I fall asleep, try not to annoy the cat anymore, okay?"

"Hmpf. Stupid cat." He mumbled.

Fifteen minutes later…

Kagome stumbled back to her room, feeling clean and warm, wrapped in her pajamas. Inuyasha was sitting on her bed, seeming to have a staring contest with the cat. Raising an eyebrow at this strange sight she flopped on the other side of Inuyasha and started brushing her hair.

Inuyasha hmpfed and ceased the contest with the cat and turned his attention to the now clean girl. "Why must you bathe with such smelly soap?" he asked wrinkling his nose.

Kagome looked at him in amusement. "You know most guys would say I smelt nice."

He grumbled something where she could only make out the words, "…smelt nice before…"

She raised an eyebrow. "You mean with dirt and grime?"

He grumbled again. "No, 'cause you smelled…" he said the next words to low for her to hear.

"Smelled like? What?"

"Becauseyousmelledlikeme." He said quickly, and then ducked his head in embarrassment.

It took a moment for the words to separate themselves in her mind, but when they did a wide smile broke out on her face. "That is so sweet! In a strange, possessive kind of way, but really sweet." She lifted his chin with her hand so that his eyes had to meet hers.

"You don't think I'm weird?" he asked fearfully.

"Of course you are weird, but did I say that was a bad thing?" she teased, leaning in to catch his lips in a kiss. He was shocked for a moment, then melted into her and wrapped his arms around her slim waist.

A few minutes later they came up for air and he smiled wryly at her. "Well, maybe I don't mind you taking showers, because then I get to get you to smell like me again."

She laughed softly into his chest, comfortably curled in his lap. She was content to lay there in the silence, watching the moonrise in the dark sky.

"You know," he said breaking the silence. "I could really go for some ramen!"

All she could do was groan and his demon hearing picked up the words, "Bottomless pit, I swear!"

AN: okay some fun and fluff, more plot next chapter…
