Ice Kit: thank you! Heres the update
Kai's soul of the pheonix: yes, I believe that chickens will one day rule the world. and I agree Kai and Ray should be the only men allowed to cook. And Kai's cooking isn't nearly as good as Ray's, but hey do you know anyone who can actually mess up soup? Well, except for me...the story of how they got together couldn't be put in this chapter cause it doesn't fit, but I'll try for the next. Srry!

RAY'S POV
Cream pies
Inu-yasha strode over to me shaking and shivering all the while...and was that the sniffles I hear...oh well guess Kagome could take care of that.
"Ray you'd better start running, because once I get my paws on you...you'll be nothing but a pile of skin and bones!" Inu-yasha growled shaking his fist in the air like a mad man.
MEEP! Inu-yasha can be scary sometimes! He got to be kidding right...he can't possibly think of slaughtering me, why it's so inhumane...and down right nasty, not to mention scary!
Beside me I heard Kai growl and step in front of me, balling his fists and planting his feet firmly onto to the ground. Oh how sweet Kai's going to fight Inu-yasha for me so I don't get hurt. But wait, if Kai fights Inu-yasha, he'll be turned into a pile of skin and bones! No Kai don't do it!
I grabbed Kai's shoulders tightly and whispered into his ear, "Kai don't be crazy, you can't fight Inu-yasha!"
Kai turned around to face me, slightly hurt, "So you don't think I can do it, huh?"
"What! That's not true Kai and you know it!" I hugged Kai tightly and continued to keep my voice down to a whisper, "That's not what I mean at all..."
Kai hugged me back and sighed, "Then why say it Ray?" He tone was almost accusing and icy, yet it still held warmth to it. The one thing Kai despised the most was being called weak and in a way I just did.
"Because I care about you and I don't want to see you hurt...Kai I love you." I hated to think that the special bond we share could easily be broken with just one wrong move. I couldn't risk losing that.
I could feel Kai smile from where his head was buried in my mass of raven locks, "I love you too Ray. And I don't know what I'd do if you ever got hurt."
"Well you never have to worry about that, because I'm not going anywhere for a long while." I smiled up at Kai who was grinning widely...not such a common sight.
"Good, because I don't plan on letting you go anytime soon..."
I giggled lightly, Kai could be really touching at times...
"Oh will you two stop already! I don't know how much longer I can take this! ARG!" Inu-yasha popped out of a tree me and Kai were under and crossed his arms over his stomach and pretended to gag.
"I thought you were supposed to kill Ray right about now, not spill your guts." Kai smirked at Inu-yasha's pathetic gagging act.
"Kai! I can't believe you! Are you trying to say you want me dead!" I puffed out my cheeks and playfully punched Kai on the arm.
Kai chuckled and wrapped his hands around my waist and bought me into a light hug, "Is this how much faith you have in me?"
"Well you know...there was this time when you actually considered marrying a strawberry...so..." I still remembered the look he gave that fruit, what's it got that I don't?
"Oh come on kitten, give me a break! I was only kidding!"
"Or were you..."
"Ahem, sorry to break up happy hour, but incase you haven't noticed, we need to get to lunch." Inu-yasha announced tapping his left wrist as if there was actually a watch on it.
I raised my eyebrow in questioning, "Since when are you ever punctual?"
Inu-yasha's eye twitched and I laughed it off following him back into the house with Kai closely behind.
----------------------------
There was no one in sight when I entered the dining room, didn't anyone else know it was lunch, oh well. Hey, the table isn't even set yet, what's going on?
"Kai?" I called out nervously, if this was one of Inu-yasha's tricks he was in for it.
"I'm right here Ray." I sighed in relief when Kai placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Where do you suppose everyone went?" I walked around the short, finely carved wooden table and stopped at the kitchen door, it was pitch black in there, my feline eyes adjusted quickly to the dark but still I couldn't make out if anyone was in there or not.
"I don't know, but how about making ourselves something to eat?" Kai suggested a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Sounds good to me." I quickly answered, eager to refresh my cooking skills.
I walked into the kitchen after Kai and stopped where I guessed the counter should be.
"Do you have any idea where the candles are, it's terribly dark in here." Kai asked stopping beside me.
"Not a clue, but think of it this way, it'd be fun to cook in the dark." I leaned into Kai and gently brushed my lips against his.
Kai moaned and grabbed my shoulders, "Yeah, leave the lights off..."
"RRRRAAAARRRR!!!"
I yelped as something mushy smacked me right in the face, knocking me over backwards and into Kai's arms.
When I regained consciousness I noticed the room was now dimly lit, glowing embers from the candles allowed me to recognize the clear outline of well over 2 dozen cream pies in front of me...but no Inu-yasha. I turned around to face Kai.
"Hey Ka- YOUCH!" I wiped around when I felt something soft, yet sharp collide with my back. I snapped my head side ways and grimaced at the thick white cream on my shirt the pie left behind as it slid of my back.
I wildly shook my head in every direction possible to look for any signs of Inu-yasha, but none were there, it was only me and Kai.
"So, I guess you found the candles huh Kai?." I grinned deviously, picking up a pie and hiding it behind my back as I slowly advanced on Kai.
Kai noticed I was up to something and slowly started backing up, "Ray, what are you talking about, I had and still have no idea where the candles are."
I frowned in confusion, "It's only me and you in here, and I defiantly didn't light the candles..." Who did Kai think he was fooling, there's no way he's going to get away now, a few more steps and I've cornered him.
"Ray, trust me, I didn't light the candles." Kai's voice was deathly calm as he maneuvered around the counter in the middle of the kitchen, stopping briefly to scoop up a pie.
My eyes widened slightly. This was going to be more of a challenge now, not only was Kai armed with the pie of death, he didn't go in the direction I predicted he would. Then again, Kai is always one step ahead.
We circled each other, not once letting our gaze wander else where. I tried my best to maintain a level of concentration when I bumped my foot on the ground but it was just too hard. I looked away for a second and a pie came smashing into my butt.
"Ewwww..." I turned around looking at the mess on my rear end. Typical Kai...
I straightened up and looked around for the said blader only to realize he was in the exact same spot as he was 5 seconds ago. I scratched my head and gazed into fiery crimson eyes, "Man you're fast..."
"What do you mean? I haven't had a chance to target your face since you were pre-occupied with checking out you ass." Kai smirked and positioned his pie to where it would strike me square in the face.
"I wouldn't need to 'check my ass out' if someone hadn't thrown their pie directly at it!" I retorted sending a quick glance towards my back side.
I barely caught Kai rolling his eyes as he began to speak, "Kitten I told you, it wasn't me."
I snorted in disbelief and added sarcastically, "Oh I'm sorry Kai, it wasn't you, it was a ghost named Casper!"
"Close."
I whirled around at the source of the distant voice. I clearly made out the source of the voice wasn't coming from Kai. Kai had a deep, rich, husky aura to his voice, and this one was deep, but not as rich.
"W-whose t-there!" I demanded an answer but my shaking form wasn't very intimidating.
Footsteps were heard and I made out a barely visible silhouette of a man with hair quite as long as mine resting his back on one of the kitchens four walls, holding out something that reflected the little light that was in the room.
I squinted my eyes together willing them to take in more light so I could better see the intruder.
"Ray, what do you see?" Kai asked walking up to me. his voice held no fear, but inside I knew he was thinking differently. He wants to act tough to show nothing bothers him, for me...doesn't he know he doesn't have to?
I frowned deeply, cursing that I didn't have much of an answer to that, "I don't know..."
Kai nodded beside me and put one arm around my waist drawing me in closer, right now I felt very safe, just to be in Kai's strong embrace.
"Awww, how sweet." That voice was so familiar, "Too bad..." The mysterious figure stepped into the light, holding two pies in either hand...Inu-yasha, "Cause this pie is sweeter!"
I had no time to react as the two cream pies came whizzing my way.
"Yuck..." I grumbled swiping the pan of pie of my face. Beside me Kai was growling...guess he got hit too.
Inu-yasha stepped closer until he was directly in front of me...how stupid can he be?
Outstretching his right arm he sighted deeply, "Peace?"
My smile only grew wider...my response, a pie in the face...soon followed by three other pies, by none other than the great Kai Hiwitari(1).
Inu-yasha blinked a couple times, registering the fact that four pies had currently hit him smack in the face. He wiped the cream of his eyes and nose and licked the cream of his lips, "Ummm, tasty."
So it was settled, thus began our all out cream pie war.
--------------------------
Kai was at the edge of the lake cleaning the remained of pie of his face, Inu-yasha was in the lake and I was seated on a high tree branch, basking in whatever bit of sunshine managed to penetrate through the thickness of the trees lush green leaves.
"Hey Kitty!" I peeled open one golden eye to glare down at Inu-yasha, "Get your lazy arse down here!"
From up above I saw a frustrated Kai march up to Inu-yasha and shove him harshly, Inu-yasha not being prepared for this sudden assault fell face first into the green grass. I watched in amusement as Kai placed his foot on Inu-yasha's back to hold him in place as he lectured him.
"Never, ever call Ray that again! Got it!" A muffled yes could be heard from
Inu-yasha, but Kai wasn't finished yet, "Only I can call Ray kitty or kitten or tiger or the rest of the damn names from the cat family! Do I make myself clear?!"
"Y-es-s!"
Kai was satisfied so he removed his foot from Inu-yasha allowing the pissed of dog demon to jump to his feet. And stride over to the tree I was on. Giving it a kick he smirked up at me.
I was shaking like a leaf, the tree was wobbling dangerously, leaving me to hold on for dear life, "S-st-op i-it!"
Giving the tree one last boot Inu-yasha left saying, "You don't want to be late for lunch so hurry up!"
I jumping down from the tree with ease but landed anything but gracefully, I was still a bit shaky.
Kai rushed over to me and picked me up so that my head was now resting on his chest, my breathing in sync with his heart beat.
"Are you OK?"
"I'm fine, but honestly how dense does Inu-yasha think we are? Like I'm going to fall for the 'it's lunch time' trick again." I grunted and Kai chuckling lightly held me tighter and kissed my forehead.
-----------------------------
"Where have you lazy farts been?!" It was Tyson, and he seemed pretty annoyed.
"Ahh, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson." This time it was Miroku and he had a look in his eyes that told us he was going to tell us something pointless, "The logical explanation is, of course, for two young, attractive men like themselves...they were defiantly making out. Am I right Ray? Kai?"
I blushed a thousand shades of red and locked my gaze onto the wooden floor and shifted my feet nervously, "Uhh...what would make you say that?"
"The answer is quite simple actually...I saw you." Miroku immediately got slapped in the head by a fuming Sango.
"What's wrong with you Miroku!" Sango screeched smacking him again, "So now you spy on men too?!"
"It was very tempting Sango, I'm sure you'd agree with me if you saw it for yourself."
I would have died with embarrassment if it wasn't for Max who broke the uneasiness,
"You guys missed lunch, Inu-yasha said he'd told you too about it, but you'll didn't listen. Is that true?"
"Huh? Lunch...but I thought..." I was shocked, now I wanted to get Inu-yasha back even more.
"Well you thought wrong then." Inu-yasha's really pushing it, not to mention I'm starving!
"Yeah! And we had to wait like forever for you two chumps, and I was starving!" Tyson complained stressing the last word.
"Tyson when are you not hungry?" Max asked placing a hand around his shoulder and breathing out slowly, "What Tyson here means to say is how very worried we were."
"Uh, no it's not."
"Tyson!" Max yanked him by his collar and into a corner, where we could clearly hear them, "Stop being so selfish! Put others before yourself will you?"
"Anyways, what really happened?" Kagome asked moving to stand beside Inu-yasha.
Kai coughed a bit and glared in the direction of Inu-yasha, "Ask him."
