The Sengoku Jidai...
"Where is he, that little mutt-face?" Kagome was frustrated. There was no trace of InuYasha anywhere. The word mutt-face brought Koga back to her thoughts. 'Humph... Koga is a lot kinder and more expressive with his love for me... Heck... InuYasha barely does anything to express any kind of feeling for me... He doesn't even compliment my food... I wish something in his dog brain would turn up so he wouldn't be such a pain every second of my life here in the Sengoku Jidai...'
"Did you find him yet, Kagome?"
"No, Sango. He probably went off to cool down or something."
"You could be right. He'll do anything just to piss you off sometimes. He's probably being obnoxious because he's nervous around you and doesn't feel like exposing his true thoughts to you."
The Present...
"H-hello? Anybody there?" There were soft swooshing noises coming from nearby the house. "Hey, Gramps!"
"InuYasha? Is that you?"
"Uh... Yeah... It is."
"Why isn't Kagome with you?"
"Well, I kinda came on my own."
"Come on in, then! Kagome's mother is making dinner right now!" This was InuYasha's chance. If he tried something else besides ramen noodles, this was it.
"Ghh... Sure..." InuYasha followed Gramps into Kagome's house. He was very nervous because he came into the present uninvited, plus the fact that Kagome wasn't with him seemed... weird. Never once did InuYasha go to the present without Kagome or without her being there. It was always them two in the present together mostly, that is if InuYasha was there.
"Hey, there InuYasha!" Souta was happy as ever to see InuYasha. "Wanna watch TV or something after dinner?" InuYasha was very confused on what to say. He didn't want to put down Souta, but he had to get this 'manners' stuff into his head, for Kagome's sake.
"Sorry, kid. Got stuff to do."
"Oh, all right..."
"Hey, don't look down, kid. I'll do something with ya later if I have time. Okay?"
"OKAY!" Souta's face brightened up. He gobbled down his meal within minutes. As for InuYasha, he tried to remember how Kagome and the others besides Shippou ate, mouth closed, no talking, and no sucking fingers. 'Mmhmm.' This was the first time InuYasha ate silently. All the other times at meals his smacking was way beyond Souta's.
"InuYasha, would you like some sake?" Kagome's mother. She was always the most cheerful of the family. And of course, she was wearing a smug grin as she always did at InuYasha.
"N-no thank you." That was a first for anyone else beside Kagome. That's probably one of the only good things he ever said to Kagome.
