Here I am, again, with another chapter for all you lovely people out there! Ray's not going to be totally crazy in this chapter, sorry. Otherwise the chapter would be way to long. I don't want to bore you to death! Next chapter he'll be crazier maybe...
Hyperness: It just wounldn't be the same without it
Anonymous: maybe...--
TNTiggris: thousand thankies!
Ice Kit: as long as people review I'll update
Bonnie Mizuhara: If you think Ray's gonna do something nasty when he's drunk, he won't. I don't think like that By the way everyone else wanted a drunken Ray so a drunken Ray is what they'll get. I'm sorry and don't hate me for it. He's not going be horrible, trust me.
typhoon14: That's the Inu-yasha we all know and love!
devilburns: I don't know what very drunk is...I'm not old enough to drink==, but Ray's not gonna be very drunk.
Enchantress10: YAY!!!
hyperactive-frogchild: hee hee I like your screen name! It's cute!
Drunk I ain't
"Desert? Oh come on Ray!" Kai cried, "Haven't we done enough?"
"Kai! We need to get this done!" I sighed going to round up everyone else.
"So let me get this straight, we still have to make...what?" Inu-yasha asked scratching his head.
"Dessert."
"What's that?"
"Don't mind Inu-yasha, if only he had as much brains as he has bronze..." Miroku whispered shaking his head.
"I heard that!" Inu-yasha barked, "If you have something to say, say it to my face monk!"
Miroku just sighed and walked off.
"Where are you going? Come fight me like a man!"
"Inu-yasha!" Kagome scolded pulling him be the arm, "We have no time for that, the master's daughter could be here any time now!"
"Fine, fine."
"Good boy!" Kagome smiled patting Inu-yasha between the ears.
Inu-yasha muttered something and stared up at Kagome who was patting him harder by the second.
"Alright, here's what we do: Kagome and Inu-yasha- clean and cut the fruits. Sango and Miroku- prepare the wine. Me and Kai will make the cake." I explained it nice and slow and when it finally sunk in, Miroku was the first to speak.
"Wine m'lady?" He asked politely holding up a bottle of Sake.
Sango snatched up the wine and stormed away all the while growling, "You just want me drunk cause you think you'll get lucky."
"What's wrong with that?" Miroku asked in an innocent manner following her.
"Ray." Kai cleared his throat tapping me on the shoulder, "Do I have to wear an apron?"
I smirked and handing him the frilliest one there was, "I need flour and baking powder."
Kai glared at me and wrapped the apron around his waist and stomped away to get the flour and baking powder.
"Thanks love! And Kai, you've got the apron on wrong!" I called after his retreating back. Kai simply shrugged and kept walking.
I grabbed the milk, eggs and sugar and placed them on the table. I was looking through the various drawers when I found a small yellow book. "Sweet Recipes." The title read. I flipped through it and found a recipe for cake. "It's says I need butter...thought as much..." I mumbled to my self.
Kai returned a few minutes later carrying two bags and was covered in dust. I put the recipe book down and went to help Kai.
"What happened?" I asked dusting some flour of Kai's shoulder.
"Didn't notice I had made a hole."
"That's why you wear an apron."
Kai grunted and started opening the bags.
I sighed and grabbed the recipe book I had found while waiting for Kai to finish what he was doing.
"What does it say?" Kai peered over my shoulder trying to get a better look at the book.
"3 cups flour
1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder
2 tablespoons of butter
3 eggs
¼ cup of milk
and 8 tablespoons of sugar."
Kai shifted from behind me and started pouring in the flour, then baking power and finally the sugar. I grabbed the block of butter and scrapped of the needed amount and started cracking the eggs one by one.
"How much milk?" Kai asked grabbing the bottle.
"Quarter cup." I answered digging through the drawers looking for a cake mixer.
"That's it? You sure?" Kai never seemed to believe the book, no matter how many times we cooked together.
"Yup. There it is!" I squealed handing Kai the cake mixer. This was going to be fun.
"I think we should add a cup."
"No Kai, that's a recipe for disaster."
Kai started mixing but got no where the mixture was way to thick. "Damn." Kai hissed as the white powder erupted from the bowl.
I giggled and peeled the cake mixer out of the gooey substance and proceeded washing it as Kai splashed warm water over his face.
"And that's why you wear aprons." I poked Kai in the stomach pointing to his black muscle tank which was covered in flour.
Kai grunted a simple "Whatever"
"Having trouble?" Kagome asked popping up behind me and Kai.
"Yup, Kai's a stubborn fool." I sighed leaning against him.
"I've got just the thing for you; I found this electronic egg beater in my bag." Kagome beamed holding up a simple grey tool.
"Wow thanks Kagome!" I gratefully took the egg beater in my hands and placed on the counter, "But what's an egg beater doing in your bag?"
"I never leave home without the basic necessities. Be careful though, it has a tendency to blow up in your face."
I thanked Kagome again and went to turn to Kai who was eyeing the egg beater suspiciously, "I don't trust this thing."
"Come Kai how bad could it be?"
5 seconds later
I looked all around the room at Kai and at myself. We were covered in sticky cake batter or at least it used to be.
I peeled some of Kai's face and put it in my mouth, "Well at least we know it tastes good."
Kai gave a defeated sigh and slumped to the floor grumbling, "How bad could it be?"
"Well at least nothing worse happened." I laughed nervously plopping down beside Kai.
Kai just stared at me and shook his head, "Let's get ourselves cleaned."
I immediately agreed and got up.
We cleaned ourselves and got changed.
I was wearing a sleeveless white oxford shirt only held together by one button just above my navel and baggy black cargo pants with pockets everywhere.
Kai came out of the bedroom wearing a black muscle tank that showed of a bit of his stomach and dangerously low baggy black denims that tightly hugged his hips. If I wasn't his boyfriend I'd definitely be drooling.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Sure."
Before Kai had a chance to protest I slung an apron around his neck and placed the first cake mixer in his palms.
Kai sighed in defeat, "OK, but this time we do things my way."
"There is that it?" Miroku asked placing a couple cups on the table.
"Sake can be drunk warm or cold, I suggest we leave one bottle out in the sun and another in a bucket of ice." Sango suggested looking thoughtfully at the cups.
"Oh the cups?" Miroku followed Sango's gaze to the crystal goblets, "I found them in a cabinet, I thought it would be OK to use them."
"Oh OK." Sango nodded handing Miroku a grayish bucket.
"I'll take this bottle outside and bring back a bucket of ice."
"Inu-yasha!"
"What!"
"Don't peel the fruits with your teeth!" Kagome scolded whacking the apple away from Inu-yasha's mouth.
"Then what am I supposed to peel it with!"
"With this!" Kagome slapped a potato knife in Inu-yasha's palm and continued washing the peach on the counter.
"'With this' she says." Inu-yasha mocked sending wary glances in Kagome's direction every now and then.
"Something's missing." I pondered on what I could be but came up with nothing.
"Nothing's missing Ray." Kai reassured leaning his chin against my shoulder.
"We should add something on top...like..."
"Chocolate." Kai suggested.
"Where are we going to get chocolate." I turned to face Kai.
"Tyson."
"Kai, that's just mean."
"He eats too much for his own good, think of it as doing him a favor."
"I guess...by the way, where is Tyson?"
I guess I was sorta worried about Tyson and Max, we've been cooking for 2 hours now, they should have been here at least every 5 minutes bugging the hell out of us.
Outside
"Catch any frogs yet Max?"
"Nop-ewwww...."
"What's wrong Maxie?" Tyson asked sprinting over to his friend.
"...I think I stepped on a frog..."
Back in the Kitchen
"That answer your question." Kai smirked kissing me on the temple.
"Yup...though I don't know why they would be frog catching..." I knew Tyson and Max could be up to no good...but what exactly were they planning?
"They're practicing being Kids."
"Adults go frog catching too!" I pouted, I loved to catch frogs, they were so smooth and slippery it made the task almost impossible, but hey, it's the trill of the case.
"I'm sorry, I love catching frogs too." Kai kissed me full on the lips and tucked my head under his chin holding me tightly.
I knew Kai was only trying to make me feel better, but you got to admit...he has his ways.
"Let's go get some chocolate before Tyson comes back." I sighed moving away from Kai.
We walked side by side into the guest bedroom and instantly spotted Tyson's bag, overflowing with sugary sweets.
Tyson's bag contained some odd things; week old sandwich, hairy pink lollipop, chewed popsicle stick, used tissues and other unmentionables.
"Ah, chocolate." I announced pulling out a jumbo sized Cadbury bar.
"Great lets go back, or I'm going to puke." Kai ordered putting a hand over his mouth pretending to throw up.
"We need a pan."
"Got it." Kai yawned placing a red pan on the wood stove.
"Tried Kai?" I asked breaking the Cadbury bar into tiny bits and tossing them in the pan.
"Yeah I guess." Kai shrugged leaning against me.
A few minutes later the cake was done and it looked a lot more edible with the chocolate poured on top.
I stretched and announced that I needed some fresh air and Kai said he'd come with me.
Lying down on the grass to settle my mind and calm my body was great. But all good things come to and end eventually.
"I'm thirsty." I croaked mouth dry with the need for water.
I kneeled at the edge of the lake in front of me and cupped my hands ready to scoop up water. Kai came behind me and pulled me back onto the grass. I snorted and tried to get back up but Kai held me down.
"Kai! I'm thirsty!" I whined wriggling under the weight of his arms.
"I know, but did you stop to think about how contaminated the lake could be. You could get very sick with just a sip. Ray I don't want anything to happen to you." Kai warned releasing his grip on my arms.
I sighed, I knew Kai was right I was acting blindly. I looked to my right and spotted a thin bottle basking in the sun.
I got up and Kai pulled me back down for a kiss.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"There's a bottle over there, I think its drinkable water." I explained getting up and walking towards the bottle.
I picked it up and glanced at the ruined label it read 'ke' I wonder what that could be, but still I'm so thirsty...maybe I'll sniff it first.
I inhaled the liquid floating in the translucent glass bottle; it smelt sweet so I gave it a pass on my 'Is it safe to drink' test. Still, I cautiously sipped at the liquid and it didn't taste bad so I continued to drink until it was half way. I stopped to breathe and felt quite dizzy. I grabbed my head and took a deep breath, 'probably just the heat' I took anther huge sip and didn't feel any better. I placed the bottle on the floor and tried to stand but my feet weren't willing to co-operate, resulting in me crashing back down on the grass. I felt giddy and unstable. I decided to give standing another shot. I boosted myself up with my hands and was about to be painfully reacquainted with the floor if it wasn't for a pair of strong arms that wrapped around my slender waist holding me up.
KAI'S POV
"Ray?" I knew something was up with Ray the instant I glanced at his face, he looked...different.
"Mmmmm..." Ray mumbled something unintelligent and looked up at my face with bright golden orbs.
"Ray what's wrong?" I was worried sick about Ray, I had a feeling it had something to do with the fluid he just consumed.
Ray just continued to stare at my face and giggled poking at the blue markings on my cheek, "What's this? Is it shark fins or shark teeth, if it's shark teeth shouldn't it be white?"
"I don't know." I answered thinking back to when I first painted them on, at first I thought they looked cool but then it grew into who I was. Strong, fierce and sharp. Kinda like shark teeth I guess...if someone bites me i'll bite back, stronger and fiercer each time.
"You don't know?" Ray sounded upset but then started giggling again poking around my eyes, "Pretty eyes...".
"Come on lets get you inside." I sighed and carried Ray since he was incapable of walking.
"Ooooooooo...this is fun." Ray squealed bouncing in my arms.
I placed Ray on his bed and stared down at him. Ray jolted upwards and lached onto me chanting incoherent words.
Could the bottle have contained an alcoholic drink? The more I thought about it the more it became a possibility. We did have alcohol in this house, Sake to be exact...it is pretty alcoholic and I know for a fact people like to drink it both warm or cold...which would explain it being in the sun. Ray doesn't drink, even though he's 19 he hates the way it smells, so even a cup would make him drunk. But Sake doesn't smell like alcohol, it smells different.
Ray must have drunk the Sake not knowing what it was.
"Mmmmm, Kai..." Ray muttered sitting up on the mattress. Ray suddenly crouched low to the ground and wriggled his ears and started singing the pink panther song. Then he sat cross legged and scratched his ear with his foot. It was amazing how flexible he was not to mention cute.
Ray noticed I was staring at him and turned to look at me we sat staring for 5 minutes when Ray suddenly yelled, "Staring contest!"
I sweat dropped and pushed Ray back on the mattress, he needed rest.
Ray wriggled his nose again and suddenly yelped, "Some ones coming! Duck for cover!" Ray pounced on me and sent us crashing to the floor.
"What's going on here?" Inu-yasha asked crouching beside me and Ray who was on top of me squashing his eyes closed.
"Enemy attack!" Ray announced clutching onto me firmly, "Prepare for battle!"
"Ummm, Ray...I'm not you're enemy."
Ray cracked one golden eye open and stared at Inu-yasha then leapt forward and started inspecting him, "Big claws, bare feet, cute ears...cute ears!"
Ray turned to me and looked me straight in the eye, "Can I keep him!"
"You mean Inu-yasha?" I asked.
Inu-yasha looked dumbfounded for a second and then snapped back into reality, "I'm not some kind of puppy that you can keep! What do you take me for!"
"Puppy?...what should I name you..." Ray thought for a minute and snapped his fingers, "Inu-yasha!"
NOTE: Eee hee hee! All done! You can put in you suggestions for what you want Ray to do when he's drunk. So far all I've got is making Inu-yasha his pet 50 year old half demon puppy wuppy! I've got everything figured out for that. I will deeply consider everyone of your suggestions! bye bye!
PLEASE REVIEW!!! I know you want too--
