Chapter Eleven: Who Needs Ramen
Kikyou scoured through her drawers. Then she stopped. 'Wait, what did I come in here for…'
Then a clattering sound came from downstairs.
"Damn! Inuyasha!"
Kikyou flew down the stairs and went back into the kitchen to find a very embarrassed looking Inuyasha.
"Baka! What are you doing?" she scolded.
"I was looking for something…"
"What?"
"More ramen?"
Kikyou sighed exasperatedly. "Just ask." She strolled over to a cupboard and revealed a small shelf with stacked packages of the dried instant meal.
Inuyasha's eyes widened with glee. He looked like a child who had been given a cookie.
"You're still hungry?" Kikyou asked as she reached for a bag.
"Actually… Not really…" Inuyasha muttered.
"Then why were you looking for it?" Kikyou sounded slightly annoyed. "I thought that you had hurt yourself of something!"
"I felt alone, so I decided to make a racket to make you come back down…"
Kikyou blushed. "R…Really?"
Inuyasha nodded slowly.
'I didn't know he had that in him… Then again, I guess that's what makes him so cute.' Kikyou giggled happily to herself.
Inuyasha's embarrassed expression turned to one of delight. He smiled. "You're not mad?"
"I couldn't stay mad at you. I could probably stay mad at anyone but you."
"Yay, I feel special," Inuyasha laughed.
"You'd better," Kikyou said playfully.
"Kikyou!"
A voice called from upstairs.
"I'll be right back," Kikyou said as she held up a finger and jogged over to the foot of the stairs. "What, Ayame?" she called up.
"Is this yours?" Ayame appeared at the top of the stairway holding a Gravitation manga in her hand.
"Hey, how'd you get that?"
"I found it in my room."
"Okay, well, just put it back on top of my desk or something. I don't know how it got in your room in the first place…"
"Okay." Ayame disappeared into Kikyou's room with the manga.
'Oh! THAT'S what I was going to get!'
The Gravitation manga had reminded Kikyou of what she had gone into her room to get. She climbed up the stairs and went into her room just as Ayame was exiting.
"Kikyou…?" Inuyasha looked up and called out.
Then he felt a small box hit the top of his head. "Oww… Hey, that hurt. Who threw that?"
He looked up again to see Kikyou grinning teasingly. "I thought that you might want some." She pointed at the box that lay next to his foot.
Inuyasha looked down and saw a box of Pocky lying there. "I haven't had this in so long!" A wide grin spread across his face. "How did you know?"
"I have my ways." Kikyou winked and walked down the stairs.
As soon as she had reached the ground, she felt herself being tackled.
"What the—Inuyasha!" she screamed.
Inuyasha had tackled Kikyou.
"You're crushing me, you know…"
"I know," he said in a childish tone.
Kikyou sighed. He always did this.
The front door knob was slowly turning.
'Crap, get off me, Inuyasha before they come in!' Kikyou thought she had said these words out loud, but she hadn't.
The front door opened and Kagome and Kouga stepped through. They stared at Kikyou and Inuyasha lying on the ground.
"Um, care to explain what you guys are doing?" Kagome asked as she suppressed a laugh.
"This is not what it looks like," Kikyou said defensively.
"Uh huh, sure…" Kouga smirked.
"Damnit, Kouga! If I didn't have Inuyasha weight on top of me, I would just come and kill you right now!"
Kouga backed away and stepped behind Kagome.
"Could you please get off of me…?"
Inuyasha obeyed and slowly got up. "Wasn't that fun?"
Kikyou couldn't help but laugh.
Kyo-chan: There's your fluff, Kikyou n.n
Kikyou: Oh, that's great!
Kyo-chan: I told you that you would get your chance.
Kikyou: Now can I REALLY kill Kouga?
Kouga: o.o;;-hides behind Kagome and uses her as a shield-
Kagome: -rolls eyes- Wow, thanks...
