The two brothers salivated as they gazed at all the meat calling out to them. Inuyasha immediately began picking up the packages and piling them in his arm. Lord Sesshomaru walked further down the cold meat filled box and studied his options. 'This packaging is so strange.' He poked a rump roast resulting in a loud popping noise and a squirt of blood.

Inuyasha didn't hear the pop while he was emptying out the cold meat box. Instead he was starting a second pile of meat packages on his arm. He was leaning backwards from the weight. Sesshomaru sneered a little at his brother's gluttony, but then thought he might as well choose something to his liking.

Sesshomaru lifted his head instinctively to find Rin. She had run a little further down the aisle towards a large glass box with lobsters living in it. She poked the glass and ran in place then started having a great time playing hide and seek with the large crustaceans. She would hide down below the glass part then pop and scream "GOTCHA!"

'What an odd child. I wonder what this A-D-H-D thing Kagome was talking about is. Perhaps she can explain Rin's behavior. Then again, Rin is only human.' He turned his focus back to the array of meat in front of him 'Who is to say they aren't all like that?' "Mmm." Lord Sesshomaru poked a few more packages and popped some more plastic. He was careful not to get any spilt blood on his silk kimono. He leaned over the cold meat box and carefully studied the labels. "grams? What the f?k is grams?"

Inuyasha was having trouble keeping a solid hold on his meat. The packages he held were piling up under his chin and he grunted in aggravation "Grrrr. Mnf. Ground beef, chicken, chicken breast, pork, uuuuuuh hmmmm, roast beef? Is it roasted already? Hm. What in the god's names is Bo-log-na? Doesn't even smell like meat. Grf." Inuyasha didn't put the bologna back, but rather flung it over his shoulder with great force and knocked a clerk unconscious.

As Inuyasha tried to search for more food around his quickly expanding tower of meat, a few other customers passed by. They noticed Sesshomaru and his barefoot brother. They slowed down to examine the two strange men but were quick to move on when Sesshomaru turned his head and glared at them. 'Foolish humans.' He thought. 'You have no idea what you are doing. If my angel, Mrs. Higurashi, had not told me to not kill anyone all of you would have been slain in one sweep of my light whip!' He turned back to his selection and his eyebrows jumped when he saw something interesting. "Oooh!" An-gus? Smells…goooood.'

Rin ran up to Sesshomaru as he chose a fine piece of meat and stood erect with it in his hand. "Lord Sesshomaru!" she said bouncing up and down. "Look Lord Sesshomaru! Sushi!" Rin held the clear box in her hand and read the label "Cal-i-for-ni-a rolls! There's a cold box of sushi and sashimi over there milord!"

"Ah. I see. Would you like that Rin?" Rin nodded furiously. Lord Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder at his brother who was still searching for more. "Inuyasha, I think that is sufficient. We must find Mrs. Higurashi and your wench."

"My who?" Inuyasha turned to face Sesshomaru, but didn't want to drop his packages. Inuyasha yelled around his wall of meat "You better give Kagome respect b'fore we get back to the house!"

"Or else what? Will you throw your meat at me, little brother?" Sesshomaru responded facetiously.

"Wow, mom, that's a lot to go through, just for a picture of me."

"Well, it would be nice to have a picture of the boys and little Rin, wouldn't' it?"

"You mean? Them? What about grandpa and Souta?"

"I think the boys are part of our family now too, Kagome."

"Speaking of them, where are they?" Just as Kagome finished her sentence she heard Rin's excited ADHD squeal and looked behind her mother. "UUUUH!" she spat in surprise. Lord Sesshomaru approached with a single roast in his hand and a box of California rolls balanced on top.

Inuyasha, on the other hand, had about 30 packages of various types of meats: chicken cutlets, chicken breast, rump roast, pork chops, T-bone steaks, a Cornish hen, a shoulder chuck, a couple of leg rounds, a loin, a 16 lb frozen turkey and chop meat. Lots of chop meat. Inuyasha dropped his massive pile in the shopping cart and buckled it's sides.

Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi were stunned. Inuyasha, a little out of breath, tried to rub off the dirt from his kimono and said "K, I'm ready."

Mrs. Higurashi turned to Kagome and said "Do you think he'll eat all that?"

Kagome said SIGH "Probably, mom. Probably."

"Oh dear."

Then Rin said "I'M GONNA EAT FISH!"


Mrs. Higurashi pushed the cart up to the checkout conveyer belt and started to unload her enormous cart of meat. Inuyasha pushed his way past her in line and watched the boy at the check out carefully as he put the meet into paper bags. He growled at the thought of someone else touching his meat.

The lanky teenager moved the conveyer and started to beep the packages over the scanner. Mrs. Higurashi went to the end of the counter and began to bag some of her own purchases. She hummed happily as Kagome bounced a sleeping Jakan in her arms.

The check-out boy wasn't watching what he was doing. He gawked at the strangest customers he'd had all day. 'That guy in red is certainly a mental case. The man in white has a serious love of face paint and that baby…Man is it ugly!' Rin bounced and mimicked the beeping noise every time she heard it.

Beep "BEEP!" Beep "BEEP!" Beep "BEEP!" Beep "BEEP!" Beep "BEEP!"
