Look Both Ways
Chapter 3
The walk home went well, especially since the sun had not risen all the way so as not to irritate Inuyasha's headache. It was a beautiful morning, not too many cars driving due to it being Saturday, there was a cool breeze in the air but not so strong as to need any type of jacket. Kagome decided to take the long way home in order to avoid all unnecessary busy roads. 'You never know when some vehicle might decide to attack.' She caught herself thinking, 'Oh, this is going to take forever to get over' *sigh*. This, however, gave Inuyasha a chance to slowly look at the future world he did not understand. 'This place feels so strange, am I supposed to know this city? I do not sense any recognition, and why is this Kagome girl helping me? Is she to be trusted? Do I have a choice?' All these new questions left the hanyou feeling especially tired, he was grateful when they finally arrived at her house.
"Well here it is!" The proud girl announced as she opened the door. "This is the living room, the kitchen is to the right, and my bedroom is up the stairs and the last one down the hall. The first door to the right is also the bathroom. Oh yea, you can stay in Souta's room until he gets back from his friend's house, his is the first door to the left up the stairs, just across from the bathroom. Any questions?"
Inuyasha didn't really hear anything until it referred to a bed; he just didn't realize it wasn't for him. Kagome didn't even finish talking and he flew up the stairs and was down the hall, collapsed into her bed sheets. 'Wow, that was fast' were his last thoughts as he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
"Any questions?" Kagome turned around to find no one was behind her. "Inuyasha?"
The girl raced up the stairs to peak into Souta's room, empty. That left only one option.
"Inuyasha! Not MY room, Souta's room, your supposed to stay in Souta's…" She shouted as she opened her bedroom door, but was cut short at the sight of her favorite dog demon sleeping soundly, curled up in her kitty sheets. 'Ugh, why does he have to be so damn cute sometimes.' She thought as her insides melted at the sight. "Oh well, I guess I will go to the store and get some food, mom and grandpa are gone for the weekend and I KNOW how hungry he can get. But when I get back, I better be able to take a nap in my own bed, or else!" she half-heartedly grumbled as she grabbed some money and carefully closed the front door.

An hour later, Kagome was still at the store (she can be really picky trying to decide what food to get, especially when there are endless options of endless quantities of food) but not worried about getting home any time soon, she wanted to make sure that Inuyasha got as much sleep as he needed.
Meanwhile, at the house, a VERY hungry hanyou was left to explore alone.
"Oh my god, I'm starved!" announced Inuyasha as he sat up. 'Hmm… not feeling too bad either.' He then hopped out of bed to see who was there. It didn't take long for him to realize he was alone, so he went down to the kitchen in search of food. He quickly opened all the cabinet doors.
"Damn I'm hungry! I can smell it, it's everywhere, but I can't eat these shiny silver things!" he growled at a few canned goods. Sniffing around, he spotted the refrigerator. His smiled with satisfaction as he swung open the door, almost breaking its hinges, but still managing to get a dent in the door when it collided with the counter. "Wow, that door was weak." Inuyasha wasted no time in helping himself to its contents, however there was not much, just a half gallon of milk and some cheese. Once the refrigerator was emptied, he kept looking around. Sniffing some more, he turned in the direction of the pantry… not giving any hesitation to pulling off the door "Does everything in her house break?" he wondered, turning back to the pantry his eyes lit up with delight and his mouth took on an evil grin from side to side as he looked up at the near shrine to ramen (Kagome's mom likes to keep it in full stock). He didn't quite know why he was so happy, but he knew he had found the jackpot. Tearing open the containers, his heart took a dive. "NO!" he shouted in frustration --there was something wrong, but quickly realized, "Water, it needs water, its SOUP!" Very happy with himself, he looked around in search of water, not finding a source, he got very aggravated and decided he was still hungry enough to eat it any way it came… even dry!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Inuyasha, I'm home!" Kagome called while hefting in some large grocery bags on both arms. Once inside, she dropped all her bags and stood in shock. To her right was a sight she never hoped to see, there was her kitchen, in complete disarray! All the cabinet doors were open, the refrigerator was left wide open with a rather large dent in the door that gave no hope in being able to shut again. The pantry door was torn off and lying on the floor, trash was everywhere, and endless numbers of nearly shredded ramen containers littered the floor, and in the middle of it all was Inuyasha, lying passed out from everything he ate!
"INUYASHA!!..." Kagome fumed.
The hanyou then slowly sat up "Oi, Kagome, what took you so long?"
"… SIT!!"
The hanyou was then flung to the ground head first… with little swirlies in both eyes.
However, Kagome wished she hadn't done that right after the word escaped her mouth. She didn't want to cause any more damage to the boy, but it was too late and couldn't take it back... 'But hey, he has amnesia anyway… maybe he wont remember it?' Kagome mused with a guilty look in her eyes.
"I think it's about time for us to go back to the feudal era… I am sure everyone is worried and besides there is less stuff there to destroy, and I'm sure Kaede can improve the situation"
She then sighed to herself, cleaning up was going to take awhile.
