Six Days 'Till Osuwari
Chapter 4: Recipe for Disaster
The only sound in the whole of Kagome's classroom was the fuzzy scratching of pencils on paper. Kagome gnawed on the end of her own pencil, the answer to the last problem on her test finally coming into her head.
"Alright, pencils down! Time to pass in your tests!" shouted Kagome's teacher as the students passed in their exams. Kagome sighed as the bell rang, ending her torment.
"Higurashi, can I speak with you for a moment please?" Kagome walked up to her teacher's desk as her friends and classmates walked out the classroom door.
"Yes, Mr. Oshimoto?" she asked politely.
"I'm very impressed with you, Miss Higurashi. You pulled a perfect score... even through absence! Well done." said Mr. Oshimoto. Kagome blushed.
"Uh... thanks." she said and turned and left. Out in the hallway, she met her friends.
"So, what did Mr. Oshimoto want?" asked Yuka.
"He wanted to congratulate me on my perfect score." muttered Kagome as the girls walked out of the school together.
"Wow that's great Kagome! I'm impressed... it must've been hard for you to study."
"Yeah... it really must have... especially with that awful pink eye attack."
"Oh! How's your case of shackles? What did the dermatologist say?"
"Did that shampoo Houjou gave you help out with your female pattern baldness any?" asked Yuka. Kagome twitched. .:. Gramps, why couldn't I have a cold? WHY is it SO HARD to just say I had the flu... or had appendicitis... anything NORMAL. .:.
"Yeah... the shampoo helped. Shingles is gone... pink eye gone too..." she said quickly.
"Hey... how about we all go out and get burgers in celebration of Kagome's health... and perfect score!" Eri suggested.
"Great idea!" said Ayumi. Kagome was glad that they weren't going to ask any more questions about her health.
"So how's that self-centered, egotistical, selfish, insane, two-timing, whacked-out, childish boyfriend of yours, Kagome?" asked Yuka while nibbling on a French fry. Kagome noticed that the list seemed to get longer each time she visited with her friends.
"Oh... well, we're fighting... again." Kagome muttered in reply, sipping her soda.
"It seems like every time you're well, 'Gome, you two are fighting." noted Eri.
"Yeah... maybe you should start seeing someone who'll stick by you when you're sick."
"...and when you need help..."
"...and who'll take you on dates..."
"...Someone like..."
"HOUJOU!" Kagome's friends all shouted in unison. A few people in the restaurant stared.
"I've got to go guys, sorry." Kagome said weakly, standing to exit the restaurant.
"Something wrong Kag?"
"I...uh...I just..." Kagome's friends looked at her expectantly. Kagome immediately faked a yawn. "I'm so tired. Anyway, see you tomorrow!" she said.
"Bye Kagome!" her friends called in unison. Kagome felt that her friends' speaking all together was either: giving her a malicious headache or creeping her out
At the moment, it seemed to be doing both.
Inuyasha slid open the door to Kagome's home. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a cheery young boy.
"Inuyasha, you're back! It's you! Hey, you up for a round of Dance Dance Revolution?" shouted Souta as he ran up to Inuyasha. Inuyasha grimaced, remembering the last time he'd volunteered to play video games with Souta.
"Uh... not today, kid. I need to talk to Kagome."
"Well, she's not home right now. She said she wouldn't be until dinner time. My mom and grandpa went out for the evening... I think to look at furniture. Anyways, Kagome should be home soon." said Souta. Inuyasha sat down on the floor... waiting.
"So, what are you going to do for Kagome? She seems really mad..." Souta waited for Inuyasha's reply.
"I don't know. What do you think I should do?"
"Well, Kagome always said that she would like a boyfriend who can cook..."
"But... I can't." muttered Inuyasha, realizing the sad truth.
"Do you want to try to cook for Kagome?" asked Souta.
"If it would make Kagome happy, I'd do it... but I can't."
"I can help you." said Souta. Inuyasha's eyes lit up. "Come on!" Souta grabbed Inuyasha's hand and dragged him into the kitchen.
Kagome was lost in her thoughts as she walked towards the family shrine. In the distance, she heard a bicycle bell ring and the soft 'cuff' sound as the bike came towards her. There was a soft 'skush' as the bike came to a stop beside her. Kagome looked up.
"Hey Kagome!" said Houjou happily. "How's that anti-itch cream working for your hives?"
"Uh... yeah... it's fine." she muttered. .:. GRAMPS... .:.
"That's great Kagome, say, tonight, how about we go see a movie?" asked Houjou. Kagome was secretly hoping Inuyasha would come tonight.
"Houjou..." she began as the two walked towards the shrine.
"Yes?"
"It's really sweet of you to ask me... but... I don't think I'm ready to date." Kagome covered. The truth was, she wasn't ready to date... Houjou...
"Aw. That's too bad. We can be friends, though, right?" asked Houjou... not turning in his classic smile.
"Of course." Kagome answered as they rounded the corner. Kagome hoped she wouldn't have to answer the same question the same way for Inuyasha.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Souta were deciding what to cook for Kagome.
"Oi... Kagome likes this!" said Souta, peering up from a recipe book. He read the title out loud, since Inuyasha couldn't read. "Broccoli and Bacon Pizza!" he shouted.
"And she likes it?" asked Inuyasha skeptically.
"Yeah! And it's easy to make... I think." Souta announced skeptically.
"Well, it's worth a shot..." said Inuyasha. He helped Souta pull out various ingredients that were too high for the little boy to reach. Together they began to bake...
"DONE!" said Souta, as he put on oven mitts and pulling the pizza out of the oven. He showed it to Inuyasha.
"Alright!" Inuyasha said. Souta set the pizza on the counter so that it would cool. Unfortunately, they hadn't had enough ingredients to make a full-size pizza. Souta said that he would make ramen for Inuyasha and himself. Inuyasha glanced around the kitchen, peering into the mess they'd made. Souta looked like he'd been dumped into a bag of flour, and Inuyasha had pizza sauce in his hair. Together, the boy and hanyou, the waited for the return of Kagome, so as to present her with their culinary masterpiece... little did they know that somehow, they had managed to skip a step, and not PRE-COOK THE BACON! [A/N: dun dun duuuuunnnn!]
"Hey... I'm home." muttered Kagome as she slipped of her sneakers. She set down her school bag as Inuyasha entered the front of the house.
"So... how did you do on your test?" asked Inuyasha, remembering that Kagome had explained why tests mattered, and how the were (as Kagome put it) 'graded'. Kagome smiled despite herself.
"I got a perfect score. So... why are you here?"
"I came to get my jewel-detector." he said jokingly. Kagome giggled and Souta ran in the room.
"Look Kagome! Inuyasha and I made you pizza!" he said, proudly brandishing the block of cheesy, fatty goodness. Kagome's eyes and smile widened as she looked from Inuyasha to the pizza, then back to Inuyasha.
"Well, I guess I'll have to try it then." she said.
Kagome took a bite of the odd-looking pizza. Not surprisingly, it tasted... terrible, but due to the fact that the two creators of this pizza were sitting across the table from her, she didn't day anything, just... took another bite. Kagome noticed, however, that the bacon was a bit soggy, which was understandable; the oils from the cheese could have been soaked up by dry bacon... making it extra-soggy and chewy. So, it wasn't the best pizza she'd ever had, go figure. At least it had been made with... love? Flour? Tomatoes? Kagome simply finished the pizza and put the group's dishes in the sink to wash off later. They were all sitting around the table, letting their food settle; Kagome's not settling particularly well.
"So, wanna play a game with me Inuyasha?" Souta asked hopefully. Inuyasha's eye twitched.
"Actually, I was wondering... Kagome, would you come back to Feudal Japan with me... just for a little bit?" asked Inuyasha.
"Uh... yeah, sure I'll go back with you... but I have to come back soon... to baby-sit Souta."
"Hey, I'm NOT a baby, Kagome." the said boy replied.
"Uh... this won't take that long..." said Inuyasha.
The night wind rustled Kagome's hair, the crickets chirped as the hanyou and girl stood over the grave of the priestess Kikyou.
"So, you got rid of... Kikyou?" asked Kagome.
"No. I destroyed that thing imitating Kikyou. The real Kikyou wouldn't have tried to drag me into the fiery depths of hell... several times."
"Inuyasha... you don't like me just because I look like her, right?"
"Kagome... I like you for you." he said, looking into her eyes.
As Kagome and Inuyasha walked back towards the well, Kagome noticed her stomach growing less and less settled. Even Inuyasha's ears began to pick up a faint rumbling sound.
"Kagome, are you feeling alright?" asked the hanyou.
"Well... uh..." Kagome muttered as her stomach seemed to do somersaults.
"Here... I'll uh, carry you." Inuyasha said, helping Kagome onto his back. He sped off through the woods. Kagome groaned and shut her eyes tight; her stomach seemed to knot itself up.
"Inuyasha..." she muttered quietly after they'd traveled for a few minutes, "stop." Inuyasha obeyed, and Kagome immediately leapt off of Inuyasha's back, scurried to a nearby bush and... tossed her cookies. She stood up again and turned toward Inuyasha.
"Did you guys pre-cook the bacon on that pizza?" she asked. Inuyasha's ears flattened to his head out of guilt...
"N-no..." he answered. Kagome sighed.
"Inuyasha, take me home." she demanded.
"For...forever?" he asked sheepishly.
"No... I just want to be close to flush toilet." she answered. Inuyasha had no clue what a toilet was... except for the fact that Kagome had one in her house. He let Kagome get on his back again, speeding off towards the well.
"Inuyasha, slow down." groaned Kagome. Inuyasha obediently complied. He was careful then, not to disturb her. Every so often, Kagome would moan a little. That's how most of their evening would be, unfortunately.
Seemingly oblivious to the fact that his sister was ill, Souta jumped happily around the hanyou. "Hey, Inuyasha! You're back! So, are you up for a round of Super Mario Kart?" [A/N: please forgive the outdated-ness. The only game systems I have are N64 and Gamecube... I'm currently borrowing my friend Mousey's PS2 to play DDR TY Mousey].
"Not tonight. Kagome is... sick." Inuyasha said. The boy stopped in his tracks.
"Whatsamatter Kagome?" he asked.
"I... have food poisoning... I think." Kagome said, fidgeting a little bit. Souta blinked.
"Oh..." he said, realizing that his and Inuyasha's attempt at cooking had failed. "Well... I guess I'd better get you a... bucket..." Souta trotted off towards the old storehouse and Inuyasha carried Kagome inside.
"Thanks for bringing me home Inuyasha." muttered Kagome as Inuyasha laid her on her bed. He starred at the expanse of her "new bedroom". "Do you like it? My mom and Grandpa moved my furniture into one of the bigger bedrooms... see," she pointed, "I even get my own bathroom." Inuyasha smiled at her and sat down on the bed next to her.
"How do you feel? Do you want anything?" he asked.
"I'm okay... for now." Souta entered, panting.
"Here ya go." he said, placing a bucket beside Kagome's bed. He scampered out of the room, and then leaned back in the doorway. "Hope you get better, sis!" he said.
"Kagome... I'm so sorry." said Inuyasha, his ears once-again pressed to his head.
"It's alright Inuyasha, I really appreciate it... I mean, not everyone would attempt to cook for their friends would they?" she said weakly. Inuyasha smiled a little. "Anyways... it's not like food poisoning is life- threatening. My body will... get rid of it... eventually." Kagome muttered. She groaned.
"Um... do you feel... sick?" asked Inuyasha.
"No... my stomach just... hurts." Kagome grumbled as she shut her eyes.
"I think I know a trick... to fix that. My mother used to do it to me when I was sick as a kid." said Inuyasha. He gently peeled back Kagome's shirt to reveal her midriff. "All you have to do is take deep breaths." Inuyasha instructed as he massaged slow, gentle circles into Kagome's abdomen.
"How do you feel?" he asked after a few minutes.
"My stomach feels better, but now I have a headache."
"I know a trick for that too. Give me your hand." commanded Inuyasha. Kagome did as she was told and gave Inuyasha her hand. Careful not to scratch her with his claw, Inuyasha pressed his thumb into the center of her palm.
"Wow..." Kagome muttered.
"You wouldn't think it would work, would you?"
"No... but that's really..." she trailed off. Inuyasha let go of her hand.
"What?"
"Excuse me..." she muttered, then flung she herself out of bed and darted towards her bathroom... where she lost much of her dinner... the way it came down. A few moments later, Kagome appeared in the doorway, one arm across her stomach, the other holding a tiny paper cup of water which she sipped every so often. Inuyasha's ears... if possible... became even more flattened to his head. He looked like a kid who'd just lost there first pet goldfish...
"Kagome... I'm really sorry. I never meant to make you so sick." Kagome returned to her bed.
"I still think it was sweet of you Inuyasha. Now, I'm going to try to get some sleep..." she yawned.
"How do you feel now?"
"A little better... but I still feel like my stomach is doing back flips." Kagome turned over on her side and curled up a little. Inuyasha rubbed her back a bit, hoping that it would somehow soothe poor Kagome's stomach.
"Thanks, Inuyasha." she muttered sleepily.
