Chapter 26- More Often
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. If I did, I would freak out and cry of happiness. But you don't see me doing that.
Summary- At one point in his perfect life, Inuyasha is asked to have a personal tutor for math. What happens when Inuyasha falls for her and the two get a little 'too' personal?
-x-
Naraku sighed. "Kikyo."
Kagome's eyes widened as Inuyasha's did then something in Kagome snapped. Her face turned red and she screamed, "How the hell can you go out with a filthy slut and be heart brokenafter she dumps you and sleeps with another man?!" she stopped yelling to cautch her breath. Inuyasha's eyes got wider.
Did she just flip out on him? I like it... he smirked.
Naraku was silent on the other end for a while. Kagome's shoulders drooped as she forced herself to relax. Why on earth would anyone want to date Kikyo? She was the biggest slut in Tokyo! At least that's what's many thought. Kagome began to feel guilty and started to worry. It was perfectly silent on the other end. Did he hang up on me? she asked herself.
Suddenly Kagome and Inuyasha heard Naraku booming in laughter on the other end. They looked at each other then Kagome pressed the phone back up aginst her ear. "Naraku? You okay?"
"Oh wow..." he said, trying to regain breath. "You got a nice ass set of lungs there, Kagome. I give you that much." he said wiping away tears of laughter. He started playing with the cord on his phone and twirled it in his finger. "I honestly knew that Kikyo was a slut because of the way she dressed. But I knew that if I slept with her, I wouldn't be able to be with her."
Kagome frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, it's true that Kikyo is a slut. Sluts kind of think like men. We sleep with girls then leave them, right?" he said. Laughter filled his tone. "Well if we wanted to get into an actual relationship, we wouldn't sleep with the girl because we'd get bored with her then leave her anyway. So if she really didn't want to be with me, I would've slept with her. But I didn't and she obviously thought she'd get some ass off me. She didn't, so she text messaged me and told me that she slept with another man and that she didn't want to be with me because I didn't offer her anything. I knew that I wasn't in love with her but still, it hurts to be dump in such a rude way." he sighed.
Kagome remained confused. "Well... Some men like to have sex with their partners and keep them."
Naraku laughed again. "Really? Like who?"
"Inuyasha." she said simply. There was complete silence on the other end. Inuyasha smiled to himself.
"Well... I can't exactly comment on that. I really don't wanna get into your sex life. Plus all men are different. But most men ofter care about only sex. It's just how we think. Sex is one of our main desires."
"Well Inuyasha isn't sex-crazed pervert. Well he is... but only with me." she said. Inuyasha let go of her waist and fell on the floor cracking up in laughter. Kagome looked down at him and smiled. Naraku started laughing too.
"Damn! That's funny. That is very very funny." Inuyasha said, regaining himself. He stood up and sat on the bed while continuing to evesdrop on the conversation. As much as he hated Naraku, he loved the way he was easily able to confuse Kagome.
"Okay..." Naraku said. "Well I'm gonna leave you alone now. I'll call you some other time, okay?" he said. Kagome frowned. He was still laughing!
"Okay. Bye." Kagome said and hung up. She turned to Inuyasha and, he too, was still laughing. She put her hands on her hips and stared at him. I don't understand how guys think but what the hell is so damn funny about it? she questioned herself. She sat on the bed besaide Inuyasha and lightly pinched his butt.
"Whoo!" he jumped and held his backside. "Damn, woman!" he yelled then started laughing again.
Kagome rolled her eyes and stood up. "I'm gonna go get something to eat." she said softly and left her boyfriend to laugh himself into a coma. Inuyasha sat up letting off the last few chuckles and folowed her downstairs.
They reached the bottom of the steps and found Inutaisho in a large black robe, sitting on the couch. There was a cup of tea on the table, a box of tissues and two asprins.
"What's up, Dad?" Inuyasha asked. Inutaisho sneezed.
"I think I caught your mother's cold. Damnit!" he coughed then sneezed again. He picked up a tissue and blew his nose in it, making loud gaggin sounds. Kagome cringed.
"Where is lady Izayoi?" she asked looking around. "She's usually always in the kitchen or in here with you."
"She's in bed. She doesn't feel too good either. I had to skip a meeting this morning because I felt like shit. and I still do. Excuse me." he turned and blew into the tissue again.
"Wow... I didn't know that demons cold get sick." Kagome said.
"Well we can and it sucks!"
"Anything you need just call for it." Kagome said sweetly.
Inutaisho sneezed again then turned to look at her. "Well you know that Izayoi usually does the cooking in the house but she got sick, and got me sick. I called a chef to replace her until she felt better and offered him a good pay but apparently, he got sick too. I'm probably the one who got him sick because he used the phone after I did to call his wife. I was wondering if you two would do me the honor of cooking dinner for today."
"What do you want made?" Inuyasha asked.
"Doesn't matter. As long as it's hot, it's good enought for me. Save a plate for Izayoi. Don't bother waking her up because she has it worse than I do."
"Yes, sir." Kagome smiled, saluting him. He nodded and the two left for the kitchen.
"One more thing, don't use the downstairs phone or the one in my room."
-x-
"Alright, so what should we make?" Inuyasha asked while he watched Kagome pulled pots and pans out of the cabinets. She didn't reply and opened the fridge to see what they had. It was stuffed with all kinds of foods and some bowls containing left-overs. she reached in the back and pulled out the butter, placing it on the counter.
"Well," she tapped her index finger on her chin. "since they're sick, I was thinking we prepare them a huge meal and not something like a tiny bowl of soup. Let's prepare them a dinner that they won't forget. A huge dinner! I hope you know how to cook."
"Are you kidding?" Inuyasha said jumping off a stool. "I love cooking!"
"Good. Then wash your hands because this is gonna take a while." she smiled and turned on the water.
"What are we making?" Inuyasha asked again.
"Food." Kagome smiled. "Go grab a bag of potatoes and start chopping them up."
"The whole bag?" Inuyasha asked dumbly.
"Yup."
"What are you gonna do?" he asked, grabbing the large bag of potatoes.
"I'm gonna make chicken and broccoli with melted cheese. Where's the flour?" she asked looking around the cabinet with the spices. In the back she fould a large round container. "Nevermind." she said giggling. Inuyasha turned to her to see what she was doing and smiled. She set the knobs on the stove for the right temperatures and placed a large pot halfway full of water on the back burner and the pan on the front one. She pulled out another pan and handed it to Inuyasha while he cut the potatoes.
"What's this for?" he asked rasing a brow at the pan.
"Put the potatoes in there when you're done cutting them. I'm gonna let the broccoli thaw on the counter for about 15 minutes while I start the chicken. Do you want a knife by any chance?"
"Nope, I'm good. I can use my claws."
"Ew!"
"What? I washed my hands." he smiled up to her. She rolled her eyes and walked over to the fridge, pulling out a bag of chicken breasts. She broght them over the the sink to cut off the fat a thaw them with hot water. She reached for the container of flour and placed 2 chicken breasts in at a time, placing the lid on the container and shaking the it to make sure each part of the chicken was coated in flour breading.
Once that was done, she poured frying greece into the pan until the bottom of it was covered in a thin layer of it then waited for the greece to heat up a bit.
(A/N: I might as well just introduce this chapter as a cooking lesson on how to make fried chicken and potatoes, lol. I do it all the time and it turns out great!)
She walked up to the large pot and carefully dumped the bag of broccoli inside then looked at Inuyasha. He quickly shredded the potatoes into pieces and sweeped them into the pot with his hand. Kagome smiled at the progress he was making and brought the butter and some spices over to him.
He gave her a questioning look. "What's this for?"
Kagome didn't say anything and scooped a chunk of butter, mixing it into the potatoes with her hands then broght the pot to rest on the stove. While the potatoes are cooking, mix them every five minutes and season them with these." she ushered towards the spices on the table.
Inuyasha nodded and went into the cabinet.
"What are you looking for?" Kagome asked cutely. Inuyasha smiled to her.
"Can you put teriyaki sauce on the chicken?" he asked.
"That was part of my plan." she smiled.
"Good." he said. He grabbed the bottle and walked up to the stove, getting ready to dump the sauce into the pan when Kagome's caught his arm.
"Don't!" she cried and took the bottle away from him. He raised a brow on her with confussion written on his face. "No, no, no, no, no! You'll ruin the perfect fried-chicken flavor!"
"Then how are you supposed to make it with teriyaki sauce? Just dump it on when it's done?"
"No." she said, claming herself down and placing the bottle on the counter. "I'm gonna fry the chicken then when it's done put the sauce on and bake it into the chicken. Get it?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Great idea... I would've never though of it." he rubbed his chin and went to stur the potatoes.
Within 20 more mintues, the chicken and potatoes were done. Inuyasha carefully loaded the potatoes into a strainer bowl with 2 paper towel in it while Kagome placed the chicken breasts on a cookie sheet and painted two coats of teriyaki sauce on each piece. Then she placed them carefully in the oven and when to check the broccoli.
Sango and Miroku entered the kitchen. Inuyasha and Kagome had completely forgot that they were there and didn't hear them walk in until Miroku spoke up. He took a big whiff of the scent.
"Damn! It smells good in here!" he yelled, causing Kagome and Inuyasha to jump.
"What the fuck, Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled and went back to seasoning the potatoes. Kagome tsk'd and went back to the broccoli. Sango whipped Miroku in the back of the head with her purse. (Old lady style! LOL)
"What are you guys making?" Sango asked in a more polite manner.
"A meal for Inuyasha's sick parents. Chicken, broccoli and fried potatoes." Kagome repled scopping the broccoli into a container. She place three slices of cheese on the greens and heated it up in the microwave for 3 minutes.
"Is there enough for us?" Miroku asked rubbing the back of his head.
"Sure." Inuyasha said. "Uhh... Kagome. I think that there's too much potatoes here."
Kagome looked at the bowl and smiled. "The more the marrier." Inuyasha laughed and started pulling out plates and chopsticks.
"Can we help?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other an smirked, both getting the same devilish idea.
"Yeah, you an help." Inuyasha said.
"Really? I wanna be the taste tester."
"Nope." Kagome said. "You can do the dishes."
"WHAT?!" Miroku cried. Sango burst out laughing.
"You walked right into that one, lecher!" she yelled. Eveyone laughed exept Miroku who pouted.
"Fine. I'll do the stupid dishes." he said and grabbed the pots off the stove and began scrubbing them in the sink. Sango laughed even harder, seeing her boyfriend being put to work by his and her best friends. He diserves it for grabbing my ass all the time. she thought dangerously.
-x-
Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku exited the kitchen after Miroku did the dishes. They all wanted to see Inutaisho's face when he took the first bite. Inuyasha prepared his father his favorite drink by hand. Freshly queezed orange juice with two ice cubes. Even though his father asked for a hot meal, he would be pleased greatly.
Kagome held his plate on a wooden tray with the chopsticks on the side and Inuyasha held his drink. Sango and Miroku followed behind. Even though they didn't prepare the meal, they'd be please to see Inuyasha's father feel better after eating a good meal.
He sat on the couch watching a basketball game with 7 or 8 used tissues sitting beside him. Kagome walked in front of the TV to set the tray on the coffee table. Inutaisho's eyes lit up. He never knew that his son and his son's girlfriend would do such a terrific job preparing him a rich meal. He looked at Kaogme and smiled in appreciation while Inuyasha set down his drink.
He picked up his chopsticks and cut off a small piece of chicken with his finger. Normally, with his demon senses he'd be able to sniff the food before the kitchen door even opened but his stuffy nose repelled his keen sense of smell. He placed the meat in his mouth and chewed slowly befor ehis eyes widened.
He stood up and stared at the two responsible for his meal. "This... is fantastic! I've never tasted anything like it! Thank you and well done!" he yelled excitedly. He sat down and chowed on his food while Inuyasha and Kagome smiled to each other. She gave him a thumbs up and he winked at her.
The four left for the kitchen and chowed down on theirr own plates. "This is awsome!" Miroku yelled. He was close to crying tears of joy now that he finally was able to get something to eat. "I love it!"
"Yummy!" Sango said, placing another potato in her mouth.
"Damn, Kagome. You worked your ass off on this chicken and it was diffinately wroth the tim it took!" Inuyasha exclaimed, kissing her cheek. "But it still doesn't taste as goo as you." he winked and her again.
"Thank you. Inuyasha, did you put up a plate for your mother?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha nodded gulping down some broccoli. "Yeah and she got double the helping."
"I sure wish I was your mom, Inuyasha," Miroku said. "Is there enough for seconds?"
"There's enough for everybody in this house to have forths Even the maids!" Kagome said happily. She smile outwardly and inwardly. She loved the meal that she and Inuyasha prepared and was proud of herself for the comments she got on the food.
"Told you we made too much." Inuyasha smirked at her.
"There's no such thing as too much, dear Inuyasha." Kagome winked at him. "Unless it's a bad thing like owing money or getting a beating something."
Everybody laughed.
"You guys should definately cook more often." Sango commented. Inuyasha and Kagome smiled to each other and nodded.
