It was kind of cute to watch him stare at them like that. He would pick them up, set them down, blink, then circle them, pick them up once more, sniff them cautiously, hold them at arms length, cock his head to the side, then blink and repeat the whole process all over again.

When InuYasha first said he would stay over with her until her tests were done, Kagome was, admittedly, frantic. After all, he had never really done too well in the modern era. He didn't understand the way things worked, nor did he care to try and any time she - or anyone else for that matter - tried to explain something Kagome could practically see it go in one ear and right on out the other.

Not to mention that incident with first her alarm clock and then the microwave. There was also that little event with her hair dryer. Kagome shuddered at the memories.

InuYasha once again repeated the process of picking up and putting down the strange food. It was downright adorable and only succeeded in making her want to tweak his ears all over again. Really, if only he would show this side of him more often then she wouldn't have to spend her free time wondering just what she really liked about him after all.

"Feh",InuYasha finally spoke, taking one of the dark purple grapes off of the bunch and holding it up to eye level with a look of disdain. "How can anyone sustain themselves on something that's no bigger than Myouga?"

Kagome chuckled, rolling her eyes as she took the bunch of grapes from him.

"They're good for you.",she said. The half demon gave her a look not unlike Souta did when her mom first tried to make the claim of broccoli being good for you too. She decided to try a different approach.

"They taste good, too!"

"That's what you said about that ninja food that was supposed to be shrimp! It tasted like horse--"

"They're fun to eat!",Kagome said hastily, not wanting to associate anything disgusting with one of her favourite fruits.

InuYasha's ears perked up slightly. "Fun?",he questioned, glancing down at the bunch of fruit. Up on his inspection of those round, purple fruit balls he never really thought to describe them with the word "fun". Words like "weird" and "ugly" and "foreign" were at the top of his list, though.

"Yes, fun.",she smiled, popping one into her mouth.

InuYasha gave her an incredulous look. "How can food be fun?"

Kagome grinned. "Like this!"

She took one grape off of the bunch and carefully placed it to his lips. He blushed, trying to look annoyed at being hand fed. Kagome's grin turned to an inviting smirk as she placed her mouth over the grape as well. The two began to share a rather sweet kiss, their first of what they both wanted to be many. InuYasha was already considering revising that list of words for the odd, round, purple fruit and hoped she had more modern foods for them to try together.

I was tempted to do a rather angsty and dark drabble with the word "gone", but I figured I owed people something cute and fluffy. Hope you all have enjoyed it!
