"DamMIT!" Inuyasha yelled, looking in frustration at the mess he'd made of the ramen. Kagome always made it look so easy! How the hell did she do it?
Miroku came outside. "Trouble?"
"The ramen." Inuyasha replied through gritted fangs.
Miroku lifted his eyebrows at the disaster the half- demon had made of their dinner. If nothing else, he had talent. "Let's take it inside and see if Kagome can salvage it."
"No." Inuyasha refused.
When ten minutes of arguing failed to produce even the slightest change in Inuyasha's opinion, the monk sighed in defeat and did what he could for it. Working together, they managed to make the contents of the pot edible, if not exactly pleasant.

Kagome took one bite and had to choke down both the ramen and her laughter. What had he done to it? Instant noodles were notoriously easy to cook, and he'd seen her do it often enough. How had he managed not to pick anything up? "This is good, Inuyasha. Thank you for making dinner." she smiled.
"What are you talking about, Kagome? You can barely bring yourself to swallow this stuff!" Shippo complained.
Inuyasha frowned dangerously and rapped the back of Shippo's head with his fist. "For its being so awful, you're sure eating a lot of it!"
"Kagome!" the little fox demon whined, massaging the bump. "He made my headache come back!"
"Inuyasha, SIT! You ought to know better than to hit Shippo when he has a head injury! And Shippo!" she turned on the child fox demon, who looked extremely taken aback and not a little fearful at her expression. "You ought to know better than to provoke Inuyasha when he's been nice and done something for all of us, including you! I think the ramen is good. You ought to thank him." She turned to the half demon, who had brought his head out of the hole it had made in the floor. Thank you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha smirked at Shippo. Finally!
Sango and Miroku shared an amused glance.
"Shippo." Kagome prompted warningly.
"Thank you Inuyasha." he muttered resentfully to the floor.
"I couldn't hear you. Did you say something?" Inuyasha asked innocently.
Shippo glared.
"He said thank you. Now eat." Kagome commanded, and Inuyasha was in a good enough mood to comply without comment.
I know this is really short, but I REALLY need to go to bed. It's 3 in the morning, and I have to get up at 8. Why do I always decide to update when I have to get up early the next morning? *hits self on forehead with palm* The next time you check this story, I'll probably have updated my username to Pyrinsomniac. Ciao till next time! Cookies for: StarFlare, Sarah, and LivEvil.
