Chapter 3-Ramen

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

'So Inuyasha's living with me, not only is he a self-centred BAKA who doesn't know the first thing about manners, he actually charmed his way into the kitchen! First he started doing all this fake polite crap, and then he complimented Okaasan on her yakitori! So naturally she offered him seconds. MY SECONDS! I hate him so much!'

"Hey sis, what cha doin'?"

Kagome turned around to see Sota peeping through her door; he had a big grin on his face.

"Ahhhhh, you're writing in your diary!" Sota licked his lips.

Kagome quickly shut her diary and leant over it so Sota couldn't see.

"You keep your dirty little hands off of my diary!" She yelled.

Sota shrugged and casually walked out of the room, whistling.

Kagome grunted and went back to writing.

'So anyway, Okaasan is also making Inuyasha go to school with me! As if he knows the first thing about education! Everyone will think he's a freak! But gramps is working on a charm to cover up his demonic ness.is that a word? Well, it's late and I have to get up early to take Inuyasha shopping. -sigh- my life is the pits.'

Kagome quietly closed up her diary and hid it in the secret draw she had built in her desk. Then, she crept into bed, yawned, and fell asleep.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Inuyasha woke up early, it took him a few minutes to figure out where he was, he rolled over onto his back and stretched.

He was hungry.

He was very hungry.

Inuyasha slowly slid out bed (literally) and onto the floor, mornings were not his thing. He picked himself up and scratched his leg before stomping downstairs to peek inside that lovely fridge..

He opened it up and smile widely at all the lovely treats that were stocked in this cold place, licking his lips hungrily, he piled up a 'few' snacks and shut the fridge door with his foot. He turned around only to be greeted by a bed head Kagome.

"And what do you think you're doing Inuyasha?" She asked, her hands on her hips.

"I was getting something to eat." He snorted and carried his little food mountain over to the table. Kagome stared as he started to arrange the packets in a pretty order of what he was going to eat first.

"That doesn't look like something, it looks like a lot of things." Kagome said blankly.

Inuyasha turned to her.

"A demon must keep up his strength if he's to protect the Shikon No Tama." He stated.

"Half demon." Kagome muttered.

Inuyasha chose to ignore that remark and immediately stuffed some food, packet and all, into his mouth. Kagome found it very hard to suppress the laughter welling up inside of her.

"What are you larffing at?" Inuyasha said, his mouth full of plastic packaging and what used to be food.

Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes and waltzed over to the Hanyou, she pulled the only non-soggy end of the wrapper and yanked it out of his mouth, much to Inuyasha's annoyance.

"I don't know how you ate before I found you but normal people would take the wrapping off first."

Inuyasha blushed slightly at his ignorance but quickly shook it off.

"Let me show you how it's done." Kagome said, lighting the stove.

Inuyasha watched intently as Kagome poured some water into a pan, then she put some sort of food into it. After a few minutes, she put the contents of the steaming pan onto a plate, got some chopsticks and set it on the table.

"And that's how we make food." She said using a sarcastic baby voice. Inuyasha glared at her then turned his attention to the plate.

He sniffed at it and looked at it from all sides before turning to the beaming Kagome.

"What is it?" He asked, his eyes wide with suspicion.

"It's ramen." Kagome said, a little put off that he would question her cooking. But then again he WAS pinned to a tree.

Inuyasha nodded as if he understood and, slowly taking the chopsticks, he picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth; he chewed, swallowed and took a bigger bit. Then a bigger bit and then a bigger bit. Making what sounded like 'mmmmmmm' noises as he greedily gobbled up the food.

Kagome stood there with a sweat drop.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

After that delightful breakfast, Kagome took Inuyasha shopping. They walked around the mall with Inuyasha still in his haori. Kagome tried to avoid the stares they were getting but Inuyasha glared back, making everyone around them quite uncomfortable.

They went into a shop that sold the usual school uniform, luckily there wasn't very many people in there but the poor souls who had to listen to Inuyasha were quite unlucky.

"What is this?" He asked Kagome, holding it as far away from himself as he could.

"It's called a school uniform, it's what you'll have to wear when you go to school." Came the weary reply.

"It looks like a demon chewed it up and spat it out again." He said, his voice getting louder and louder.

The store manager wasn't too happy at the comment Inuyasha had made about his clothing line and every now and then, gave the pair evil looks.

When Inuyasha finally tried on the clothes and bought them, it was quite late. The two sat on the bus as it rocked from side to side, Kagome half asleep by the window and Inuyasha peering around at the other passengers. Two girls opposite him winked in his direction. He stared at them, and then turned to Kagome.

"Kagome, those girls are having problems with their blinking, they keep on blinking at me with one eye!" He whispered, so they couldn't hear him.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes half way.

"So blink at them back." She muttered and closed her eyes again.

Inuyasha thought about this and turned to the two giggling girls, he quickly closed one of his eyes and opened it. The girls blushed and giggled to each other before one of them walked up to him.

"Hi there handsome." She said, moving ever and ever closer to the unsuspecting Hanyou.

"Hello." Inuyasha said, kind of uneasy at the girl with the blinking problem talking to him.

"What's your name?" She asked, inching her skirt up so it was shorter than before. Which was VERY short in the first place.

"I, Inuyasha." He stumbled as he tried to look elsewhere.

"What a sweet name, my name is Noriko."

"Uh, that's a nice name." It's hard trying to be polite.

"Oh really?" Noriko asked, lowering her face level with his.

"Well, if you like my name, perhaps you should hear my number."

Kagome woke up quicker than you could say 'feh'. She sprung up from her seat and grabbed Inuyasha's hand, forcing the two of them off the bus. As it pulled away, the two girls winked at him again.

"That was scary." Inuyasha moaned, rubbing his temples with his fingers. "Too scary."

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"This, Inuyasha, is a necklace." Grampa stated, holding it up to the light as if it were a precious Talisman.

"Yeah, so?"

"I've been doing some research. Once a month you turn into a human right?"

Inuyasha growled.

"This necklace will turn you into a full time human from the moment you put it on until you take it off. A perfect disguise for demons on the prowl."

Kagome laughed nervously as Inuyasha took the necklace and observed it.

"So the minute I take it off, I'm demon again right?"

"Right!"

Inuyasha still didn't look all too convinced but he stuffed it in his haori sleeve and thanked Grampa.

"I think it's time for some food." Grampa shouted, punching his fists in the air and heading for the kitchen.

"And today's specialty by Okaasan, my mom." Sota announced as everyone queued up outside the kitchen. "Is...drum roll please. Oden!"

Kagome nearly hit the roof. She dashed into the kitchen and sat down, squealing and laughing like a little child. Inuyasha calmly walked in last, his hands in his sleeves, staring at Kagome who had turned from normal girl into screaming maniac all in a matter of a few seconds.

Kagome ate the oden, laughing to herself as everyone else talked about their day. Inuyasha sat opposite Kagome, watching her in her happy little oden heaven.

'She's quite good looking when she's not in a mood..gah! What am I thinking?!' Inuyasha quietly choked on his food as he mentally kicked himself.

Kagome looked up.

"Something wrong Inuyasha?" She asked, her eyes fixed on his oden. "Nothing." Inuyasha said harshly, turning back to his food.

Kagome sighed and carried on eating. "There's just no hope for you." She mumbled.

"Feh." Inuyasha said as he dropped his oden.
