Ramen and Meatballs:

::Kagome sick, and is watching Jojo's circus:: I cant believe there is nothing else on TV. Im reduced to sitting on the couch ::sneeze:: watching a clown and her pet lion tackle kindergarten trials....::sneeze:: Lovely..

InuYasha: ::walks out and sits beside her:: How ya feeling?

Kagome: Not..good ::sniffs up::

InuYasha: ::has a half-grossed out look on his face:: You'll get better soon..::goes to kiss her neck::

Kagome: ::sneeze:: Sit. ::sneeze::

InuYasha: ::falls:: The older you get the more..

Kagome: ::stares at InuYasha::

InuYasha: ...forget it ::pulls himself back up:: What are you watching?

Kagome: Nothing you would be interested in.

InuYasha: ::stares at the screen for about 5 seconds, then gets up and leaves:: Nope.

Kagome: ::sighs:-
::Kotaku is sitting in front of the laptop, tapping away, Shippou comes to watch::

Kotaku: Darnit!!!

Shippou: What is it?

Kotaku: Im trying to do something Shippou!

Shippou: What? ::peers::

Kotaku: Im trying to free Hockey Chicken.

Shippou: What the hell?

Kotaku: Free Hockey Chicken! Anime is teh s.uck! Yeah! ::taps::

Shippou: Dont you wanna go outside and play?

Kotaku: Free Hockey Chicken!!

Shippou: This family has a serious problem with media influence.

::Inuko, Lee, and Miroku are standing in an office::

Inuko: ::is signing a few papers::

Lee: ::watches him carefully::

Miroku: I think this tournament will be a good way to gain experience for you, Inuko.

Inuko: I guess so, but everything kinda died down. There havent been any more strange sightings for a while,
and those demon attacks seem to have stopped.

Miroku: The fact that they happened in teh first place was simply a warning of what is to come. When we faced Naraku back in my time, just because we did not see him every day did not mean he wasnt there.

Lee: This tournament is a little weird. Sesshomaru's company is hosting it though, so I know its on the up and up. ::shuts her eyes:: But Sesshomaru hasn't always been on InuYasha's side, I wonder if there is a possibility that... ::shakes her head:: No, now Im just overthinking things

Inuko: How many more papers do I have to sign?

Miroku: Just those. The other ones your mother has to take care of, I'll just take these to her.

Lee: Yeah, for now we will worry about any possible threats. ::stretches:: I need a vacation.

Miroku: You do, you work pretty hard around the house and at work.

Lee: Speaking of work, what is it that you do Miroku.

Miroku: Oh, nothing special. Im in advertising. ::grabs his keys:: You guys ready to go?

Inuko: Yep.

Lee: ::opens the door for them and they all walk out::

Natsuko: ::had been sitting in the back the whole time. She lowers her magazine and smiles at the receptionist, getting up and walking over to the desk:: Id like to sign up for the tournament please.
Kita: So what should we do with him next Loranda?

::Loranda, a light skinned girl with reddish hair smirks:: We could always give him a perm. I have the chemicals in my bag!

::Seviya, a girl with blonde hair (not natural blonde lol) and a medium complexion:: : No no, Lorrie...I think we should give him a mullet!

Kita: ::laughs:: A mullet!! Thats rich.

Loranda: So what are we going to do with him?

Inuko: ::is tied to a chair, struggling to break free. He looks in a panic::

Kita: Im not sure...but we have to take advatage of this situation...

Seviya: Yeah. How often can you wait for someone to fall asleep in a chair with glue on the sheet and then tie em up?

Kita: Hehehe ::puts the scissors to his hair::

Inuko: ::manuevers the gag off his face:: DAD! GET ME OUT OF HERE!! I WILL HURT THEM!!

Kita: Then tear out of here and do it..

Inuko: I aint messing up these jeans, i JUST BOUGHT THESE JEANS

Seviya: Then you are at our mercy...muahahaha..

Inuko: DAD!

InuYasha: What...what...::comes upstairs and sees what is going on:: WTF..

Inuko: Get these little creeps off me!

InuYasha: Be a man and do it yourself.

Inuko: I can't! They glued my clothes to the chair. If I bust out they'll rip off.

InuYasha: Well damn, Inuko, what do you want me to do?

Inuko: ::glare::

InuYasha: Alright already!! Okay, Kita, what will it take for you to release him?

Kita: How much you got on you?

InuYasha: Nothing you are going to get..

Inuko: Dad..

InuYasha: You want me to leave you here?

Inuko: ::mutters::

::Sokanon is writing on several pieces of paper at home. She occasionally stops to take a big bite of a sandwich, and then gets right to work::

Alawa: Sokanon, I need to speak with you.

Sokanon: Not now, mom.

Alawa: Please...::sits down and rubs her back:: I know a lot of things have been on your mind lately.

Sokanon: Of course they have been. Everything about that stupid family legend.

Alawa: I always hoped it would never come to you, but it looks like it is out of my hands. There are those who need your help to find the Hinun Mingan and finally destroy it. Think of the children you'll have, Sokanon.

Sokanon: Me? Have kids? Please.

Alawa: ::smiles:: I said the same thing at your age. You'll be surprised how faulty birth control is..

Sokanon: ::raises a brow::

Alawa: Anyway...Mr. Sho is doing this for your own safety.

Sokanon: How do you know he isnt one of the bad guys anyway? What if he is some evil monster person just trying to use me?

Alawa: I can't say for sure, but your grandmother trusts him. And she has been wrong about very few things in her lifetime.

Sokanon: Hope this isn't one of them.

Alawa: If you have faith in your family and yourself, Sokanon, then things will work out. ::looks at what she is writing:: Starting on those invitations already.

Sokanon: Yes. Im going to try to ignore all this legend stuff and concentrate on being normal for once.

Alawa: Number one, Sokanon, you were never normal. Number 2, go ahead and try ::laughs::

Sokanon: I hope someone told you you were weird.

Alawa: You do every day. Go ahead and finish your invitations. ::grabs Sokanon's sandwich and walks out::

Sokanon: hey..HEY!Kagome: :: Its now dusk. She walks into the kitchen after work and looks at InuYasha over the stove, still having a bump on his head from his earlier ordeal:
Wow, he looks like he is concentrating hard on that

Miroku: ::goes in to get a glass of water, and starts staring at InuYasha too::

Kagome: ::tries to look but InuYasha shoos her away::

InuYasha: ::looks back to his food:: Almost ready, its almost ready ::he says in a soft voice::

Kagome: What are you doing?

InuYasha: What does it look like?

Kagome: Can I see what it is?

InuYasha: Not until Im done.

Kagome: Aww, comeon InuYasha. Please??

InuYasha: Nope.

Kagome: ::rolls her eyes:: Fine...::tries to take a sneak peak::

InuYasha: ::keeps her away with one hand, then goes back::

Kagome: ::mumbles::

InuYasha ::turns to Kagome:: :So you guys say I cant cook! say all I can do is make Ramen. Well this time I added meatballs TO THE RAMEN so ::adds them in an overly theatrical manner:: BAM!!!

Kagome: Bam?

InuYasha: Hell yeah..BAM

Miroku: Hm....::gets a weird look on his face:: This reminds me of the time where I and Sango...

Kagome: ::covers his mouth:: Lecher..

Miroku:...What?

InuYasha: If you excuse me, Rachael Ray is on...::waves them away as he walks off::

Kagome: You know, one day I said things couldn't get any weirder.

Miroku: You lied.

Kagome: Yep.

Miroku: So, is $40 dollars a day on? ::yawns::

Kagome: You know InuYasha, things might go easier if you made yourself more productive

Kita: What they mean is, stop being dead weight..

InuYasha: Ha ha very funny…

Kagome: How come you can't keep a job for more than a week Inuyasha!! Even the most simple things you…

Kita: Screw up. ::comes back from upstairs, still with a big smile on her face::

Sango: Kita shush..

Kita: Feh..

InuYasha: Well why don't you let me do something I want to do then!

Kagome: Im afraid demon slaying isn't a high-paying profession InuYasha..

Kita: Remember when he tried to work at Wal-Mart..

Kagome: Don't even remind me…

Kita: They wont be saying "put on a happy face" any longer thanks to him..

InuYasha: Do you ever shut up, runt?

Kita: ::sneers::

InuYasha: I hate kids…

Kagome: You HAVE a kid..

InuYasha: A man can only tolerate so much, Kagome..

Sango: There was also that time when we tried to get him to be a dog-walker

InuYasha: I find that degrading…

Kagome: Its still a JOB InuYasha.. I mean, all you had to do was teach the dogs to s-

InuYasha: ::puts his hand over Kagome's mouth:: Don't you even… Kita: ::takes out her tape recorder and InuYasha snatches it with his other hand::

Inuyasha: ::holding the tape recorder:: Not this time runt..

Kita: Feh..

Inuyasha: Why don't I just work with one of you guys…Sango?

Sango: I don't think that's possible.

Inuyasha: Why the hell not?

Sango: I work in a Church…you are a demon.. demons are evil…::looks up innocently::

InuYasha: ::rolls his eyes:: well duh.

Sango: ::shakes her head and slumps down in his chair:: Maybe you should work for Kagome

Kagome: Forget it! Its hard enough for me to keep my job as it is..

Inuyasha: Well I feel the love in this room…

Kita: Well why doesn't Inuyasha work at the music store? He can at least do that right?

Kagome: Might as well we tried everything else..

Kita: Maybe listening the music will calm him down..

InuYasha: Im leaving ::walks out::

Kita: Wait Uncle Bow Wow..

InuYasha: stop calling me that!

Kita: You gonna take the job!

InuYasha: No!

Kita: What about my free music?

InuYasha: ::grabs Kita by her shirt and hangs her on the door::

Kita: Grr…

InuYasha: That'll teach you your place runt…

Kita: ::takes the tape recorder out of her OTHER pocket:: Really? ::plays it:
SIT

InuYasha: AHH! ::his his head:: Why you little..

Kita: ::opens the recorder up and flips the tape over:: Look it has a flip side ::plays it:
SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT…

InuYasha:…..::lots of crashes::

InuYasha: ::Cries out:: KITA!!!!!!!

::From the other room, Sango and Kagome shake their head::

Sango: They are at it again, aren't they?

Kagome: Does Shippou state the obvious?

Sango: I guess that's a yes.
