When the two lovebirds reached the house, all that was heard was Inu Yasha's stomach growling. "Uh, sorry," Inu Yasha apologized while blushing, "It's just, I haven't eaten since lunch." 'But that was 3 or 4 hours ago.' Kagome thought. 'I guess demons are really different.' Kagome giggled at this and Inu Yasha became curious. "What's so funny?" Inu Yasha asked, thinking Kagome was laughing at him. "Huh? Oh, nothing." Kagome responded.
"C'mon Kagome, tell me." Inu Yasha begged as he watched Kagome put instant ramen in the microwave. "It's nothing." Kagome repeated. "Feh, whatever. I promise to be nice to you from now on and you can't even tell me why you were laughing." Inu Yasha reminded as he plopped down angrily in a chair at the kitchen table. "I'm sorry Inu Yasha. You're right. I was just thinking how demons and humans are so different. It just made me giggle." Kagome explained as she handed Inu Yasha his bowl of ramen and sat down.
"Wutcha mean by that?" Inu Yasha asked, not understanding what was so funny. "Well, think about it. Demons can take on the form of a human, but have creature-like traits. They have amazing abilities, stronger then the creature they relate to. They are also way stronger then humans. Oh, and the reason I laughed, they have WAY bigger appetites." Kagome explained.
"Well, yeah. But they are also similar in some ways." Inu Yasha added as he finished off his ramen. "Oh yeah? How?" Kagome asked. "Well, like you said, they both have human forms. They both fight for their lives and not all humans have small appetites like you, Kagome." Inu Yasha pointed out. "True, true." Kagome agreed as she also finished off her ramen.
"Well, Kagome," Inu Yasha asked sadly as he stared into his bowl. "Yeah?" Kagome looked at Inu Yasha to see him hiding his eyes. 'I wonder what's wrong.' Kagome thought. "We just compared demons and humans. But, where to half-breeds fit in?" Inu Yasha finished. Oh! Now I understand. Kagome stared at Inu Yasha in understanding.
All of a sudden, Inu Yasha felt two arms wrap around his shoulders. Inu Yasha looked to his side to see Kagome. "Well, I don't know where ALL half-demons belong," Kagome answered, "But I know this one belongs right here, with his friends and family." Inu Yasha stared at her in shock. "Family…like Sesshomaru?" Inu Yasha asked, confused. "Well, kinda I guess. But I meant us, your friends. Even if you don't realize it, we're all like family in a way. We see each other almost every day, we look out for each other and when someone is sad, we comfort them, like now." Kagome explained as she tightened her grip on his shoulders.
Inu Yasha smiled and put one of his hands on hers. "Thanks Kagome," Inu Yasha thanked, "I needed that." "Well I'm glad I could help." Kagome said as she gave him one last tight squeeze then walked over to the pot of ramen. "Hey," Kagome called, "There's still some left. You want some?" "YES! YES! YES! Uh-hem. I mean, yes please." Inu Yasha exclaimed as he held up his bowl for more. Kagome giggled. Awww, he looks like a lost puppy. How CUTE!' "Okay, here." Kagome walked over and poured some more into Inu Yasha's and her bowl.
But right when Kagome was about to take a bite, ramen hit her cold in the face. Kagome wiped it off and look at Inu Yasha with a mix of anger, shock and confusion on her face. "Hey, family doesn't laugh at each other." Inu Yasha whispered with a smirk on his face. "Oh yeah?" Kagome responded as she got some ramen on her spoon. "We'll see." And with that said, ramen hit Inu Yasha on the head. "HA HA HA HA!" Kagome laughed at how cute he looked.
"Ha ha ha… no, wait Inu Yasha. I wasn't laughing at YOU! I was laughing at how…NOOO!" Kagome tried to plead, but it was too late, a ramen food fight had begun.
