Chapter 11 – Inuyasha is a Ramen Freak

"Are you sure it's alright?" she asked him, making sure. "Kagome, don't tell me you're a princess and have never ridden a horse before." The panic look on her face confirmed it. "I'm right, aren't I?" he teased. "Hey! It's not my fault I'm afraid of heights!"

"It's alright. Get on, I'll protect you," he promised.

"They got on the horse, and rode through the trees all the way to a sparkling beautiful lake. "This is what I wanted to show you," he told her, unconsciously hugging her waist. "It's beautiful. So serene," she said. "It's my secret place," he told her. "My mom used to take me here often when I feel sad." A sad look appeared on his face. "I just thought you'd like it," he said. "It feels so familiar here," Kagome told him. "I don't know why I can't quite put a finger on it."

"Well, we're here now. Do you want to go for a swim?" he asked. "Nah, I'd rather look at the pretty sky and scenery."

"I'm not taking no for an answer," said Inuyasha, pushing her into the water. "Hey!" she said. "That's dangerous! What if I didn't know how to swim?"

"Then I would save you," he simply told her. "Aren't you coming in?" Kagome asked Inuyasha. "Nah, I'd rather look at the scenery," he mocked. "Just kidding" he said and dived into the water. "Payback!" Kagome shouted, splashing water on him.

"If that's the way you want to play then fine," he told her, grabbing her and moved in closer and closer to her lips. "Let's go up and eat," he said.

'I thought he was going to kiss me for a moment there.' "Lunch?" she asked him.

"Yeah, you know the one that you made earlier this morning?"

"That was for this?" Kagome questioned.

"Yes."

"So that wasn't some useless chore?"

"I never gave you any useless chore," Inuyasha said.

"Sure you didn't," said Kagome, getting out of the lake.

"The first one to get to the lunch place wins! The person who loses owes the winner a favor!" yelled Kagome.

"Are you sure that's a great idea?" Inuyasha asked Kagome. "After all, I am a half demon."

Kagome frowned. "Then how's this? I get a head start," she said taking off.

"Hey! You didn't even wait for my answer!" he said, smiling. He was having a fun time he hadn't in many years. With Kagome he felt like he can be himself, and that there are no secrets.

In the end, Kagome won, but actually it's more like Inuyasha let her win. He was curious on what favor he owed her. They took out their boxed lunches and started eating it.

"Bleh! This tastes horrible!" Inuyasha complained.

Kagome had a similar reaction to Inuyasha's. Her face turned a little green. "Well, I did warn you that I am a horrible cook."

"Yeah, ramen tastes much better," Inuyasha said.

"Then eat your ramen and give me my bento back."

Inuyasha quickly held his bento out of her reach. "I said it sucked, not that I'm not going to eat it," he said, munching another one of her onigiris.

"I've never had someone made homemade food for me anyways, so I want to cherish this one," he admitted.

"But it's not alright if you look like you're going to barf any moment Inuyasha," said Kagome. "It's alright," he said. "I'm a half demon. I can take it," eating her weird shaped sushi's now.

"Now, to get rid of that horrible taste," he said. "Hey!" said Kagome. "It doesn't taste that bad."

"Oh yeah?" Inuyasha raised his eyebrow. "Then tell me why you haven't touched your bento yet after you turned green?"

Kagome colored. "Hehehe," laughed Inuyasha, bringing out his trusty ramen.

"You brought ramen to a picnic with you?" Kagome asked him.

"Yeah! Ramen works on all occasions!" he declared. "Ramen is sacred food," he told her. "Just add water and you're done. Best thing ever invented in the entire universe!" he paused. "Hey…you are you listening?"

"Yeah. Ramen good, you ramen freak."

"I am not a ramen freak."

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too infinity!"

"Am not infinity of your infinity."

Kagome sweat dropped. "Can you not think of a better one or something?"

"That's it!" Inuyasha yelled. "No ramen for you! No touchie my ramen," he said.

"I don't even want to eat your ramen, you ramen freak!"

"ShhhH! Don't offend the ramen! The ramen can hear you?"

"It's food," she said. "You just eat it and it's gone. How can I offend it?"

"I warned her, I warned her," Inuyasha spoke to his ramen.

'How did I end up coming here with this ramen freak nutcase?' Kagome wondered. 'But he does look cute eating his ramen. Just like a little doggy!'

A/N: And thus, their date/tour of Tashio Kingdom ended. Hope you guys enjoyed it! Please read and review! Thanks for reading my fanfic! Btw, the pairing in this fic is *drumrolls* Inu/Kag. I feel so sorry for Kouga. I seriously wanted Kouga and Kagome to end up together too! *tears* but for purposes of this story, it must be Inu/Kag. Sorry Kouga! And he's so sweet too! I mean who couldn't love Kouga and his sweet tooth? Sesshomaru will play a bigger role in the story later on, although I can't reveal how yet. Please read and review!
