Boys of Summer
Chapter Four: Kitchen Disasters
-Note-
To all my dear, dear reviewers; THANK YOU! You guys are so cool. I'm getting baptized tomorrow! WISH ME LUCK! Um, some people think that the wink that InuYasha gave Kagome was rushed. It wasn't a sign of love or anything, but you'll find out what it was in here. Well, on to chapter four!
"I'll add some sugar to it. It'll be fine!" Shippo said before letting half a bag of sugar flow freely into the strange concoction he was trying to turn into breakfast.
The trio was still in their pajamas. Shippo in his green flannel pants and t-shirt, Miroku in his Scooby-Doo-hugging -jalapeno-pepper boxers and black baggy tank top while InuYasha was clad in a pair of blue jeans and his house shoes. The silver haired boy poked at the lumpy piece of meat and dough he had in a frying pan, Miroku was beside him trying his best to get some water to boil. Shippo tried to stir his sugary mixture to no avail, and only ended up sending most of it through the air and all over the two older boys behind him. Miroku rubbed the thick, doughy, stuff off his nose and looked at it curiously before it dropped into the pot.
"Well, maybe that will get it to boil."
InuYasha looked away from his own lumpy mess and into the pot. Shippo joined them a moment later with the consequences of males trying to cook in his hair and on his face. His appearance looked almost as ridiculous as InuYasha and Miroku's, only they knocked him out of the competition with the mixture Shippo made dripping from their hair.
"Hey, I think I saw a bubble."
"Shut up, InuYasha."
"Stick your finger in it and see if it gets any warmer by us staring at it."
Miroku dipped his finger in the water while all three of them gave the liquid angry stares. After a few minutes, InuYasha finally picked up the pot and poured the still cold water over Miroku and Shippo before going back to his own lump of dough and uncooked meat. He looked at the stove and frowned at the scene before him that set a new record in stupidity.
The stove wasn't even turned on.
"Miroku, you idiot."
InuYasha turned on the stove and went back to his pan and added salt and pepper before smoke started billowing from under Miroku's pot. The stove quivered, then made a loud pop, sending out large clouds of black smoke. Shippo, Miroku, and InuYasha had hit the floor and backed up against the wall. Black smudges covered their faces, their chests rose and fell in panicked breaths, and Miroku tried to regain his standing position before InuYasha grabbed his arm.
"No, no, no, no, no. Let's just sit here, and wait for a while."
"Wait for what?"
"Until my heart stops trying to climb out of my throat!"
"Oh."
Shippo held up his wrist and checked his pulse, Miroku got up and walked over to the sink to wash his hair, and InuYasha had his eyes closed trying to calm his racing heart before he had an aneurysm. Shippo finally decided his pulse was normal after checking it in his neck and his other wrist before he jumped up and ran into the living room.
"Dibs on the shower!"
Defeat covering his whole face, InuYasha got up with an annoyed grunt and made his way out the back door to be greeted by a wave of heat. It was so hot, it seemed as if InuYasha could smell it. He turned on the water hose and shivered as freezing water cascaded over his head and down his neck. Little did he know he had an unexpected spectator who's coffee was growing cold as she watched him wash off.
Kagome had just finished drying her hair and dressing for the day when she walked down stairs to find Kanna making pancakes and Sango with a fresh pot of coffee. She grabbed her a cup and went out on the patio to smell the morning ocean air. But what she saw made her forget the ocean, her coffee, and her breakfast of pancakes and blueberries.
(And now, something special for all the fan girls reading this. Let your crazy imaginations go to work!)
InuYasha was standing in his backyard washing his hair with the water hose. He flipped his long hair back, water dripping down his face and well toned chest down to his not-over-defined abdomen. When he turned, the warm sun caught perfectly and made his damp arms and skin glisten brightly. His blue jeans were damp, and hung down over his hips ever so slightly to let Kagome catch a peep of his red boxers.
(End the special scene!)
That was when he spotted her.
A shrill cry of embarrassment and a broken coffee mug that read, 'I Hate Mornings' later, Kagome was sitting on the floor of the kitchen with Sango and Kanna staring at her. After being interrupted in mid-chew, Kanna went outside on the patio to see what Kagome had got so freaked out by. She saw InuYasha drying his hair and waved, and got a wave in response. She stepped back inside and smiled.
"Sango, go outside. You really need to see this." Kanna said picking up her glass of orange juice and taking a long drink.
Sango sat her fork down and went outside to see InuYasha cleaning black smoke off his face. Sango saw traces of smoke leaking from windows and chuckled. She smiled and cupped her hands around her mouth.
"Hello, InuYasha! Why is there smoke coming from your house?"
InuYasha sighed and dropped his towel.
"Miroku, me, and Shippo tried to make breakfast."
"There's where you messed up! Come on by and we'll feed you before you starve to death."
She went back into the house, and InuYasha ran in to round up Shippo and Miroku. Kagome looked at her with a deadly glare when Sango wiped her hands on her denim ankle length skirt and began to prepare more pancakes.
"Sango, I really don't like you right now." Kagome grumbled, throwing away the broken pieces of her mug and retrieving another one from the cabinet.
Kanna sat another clean plate in the drainer and moved on to the next dirty plate.
"Kagome, lighten up. InuYasha's a good guy, so just give him a break."
"And I take it that you think Shippo is just the most adorable thing in the world, huh?"
Kanna blushed furiously and turned back to the dishes and Sango chuckled.
"Well, if it helps any, I think Miroku is cute. One of you tell and you are so royally dead."
Kagome and Kanna swallowed hard and continued doing their various jobs. The doorbell rang and made all three present females jump.
"Kagome start washing some blueberries, Kanna flip the pancakes when they get ready, I'll go get the door."
Kagome approached the refrigerator and got a small plastic container of blueberries while Kanna flipped the pancakes about to get them golden brown.
"Hi, Kanna! Hi, Kagome! Yum, pancakes..."
Kagome whipped around to see Shippo looking over Kanna's shoulder and drooling over the pancakes. Miroku and Sango were talking as she poured him some coffee, and InuYasha was looking at her with a smug expression.
"I guess I proved you wrong, didn't I?"
Kagome looked at him in dazed t.
"Huh? What are you talking about InuYasha?"
"You thought I couldn't sing and I proved you wrong!"
Kagome remembered the wink, and her temper flared.
"So that's why you winked at me wasn't it? I never said you couldn't sing!"
InuYasha crossed his arms over his chest and pouted some what.
"You were thinking it!"
"No I wasn't!"
"Yes you were!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kanna were watching the scene while Miroku and Shippo's pancakes grew colder and colder.
"And you call me childish." Shippo said, cramming a piece of blueberry pancake into his mouth.
END- Sorry about the late update. I probably will finish Hearts in Ice after Boys of Summer. Well, I'm getting baptized in a few hours, see you next chapter!
