Boy what a dammed week one test came after the other, but finally I'm over it, thank you for your reviews, and here are my responses.
Aacire: The little egg fiasco really did happen in the manga, but that is the least bothering problem in Akane's cooking.
Psycho King: When did I say that Ranma would like a submissive wife? I won't say more to this case I don't want to spoil things. But I can promise you'll be rolling on the ground from laughing when I get to the point.
Inu-chan Sessh's little bro: Sorry about the spelling I'll correct the mistakes.
Cyclonegal12: I won't say that Akane's violent, but she IS a bit too fiery.
Chapter: 7 Food or Toxic VenomIzayoi started to awake, she lifted her head and looked around in the room where she slept for the night, she saw Asaku lying next to her, but the human that owned the room wasn't anywhere to be seen. She sniffed into the air, and smelled something sweet. She immediately knew what's going on. "Oh boy! Somebody is making a cake." yelled the little girl with happiness.
She shook her little brother to wake him up. After a few seconds the little dog woke up, and looked at Izayoi with his big round eyes. "Do you smell that?" asked the little girl.
Asaku sniffed into the air, and gave out a bark to signal that he can also smell the sweet scent.
"Do you know what that smell means?" Asaku shook his head. "It means that someone is making a cake!"
The younger youkai looked at his older sister, not really knowing why she is so exited about this cake stuff he was satisfied with his mother's milk. "W...wake?" he asked.
"You mean you never before had cake?" asked the little girl.
Asaku nodded.
"Than let's go and wake up mom and dad." the two youkais jumped out of the bed, and made their way to the guest room.
Izayoi carefully opened the door and found Inuyasha and Kagome on their futon sleeping peacefully, and like usually Inuyasha had his hands wrapped around his mate while her head was snuggled into his chest.
The two dogs slowly crept closer to the adults trying not to wake them, soon they got to their parents side. The kids looked at each other, and then they attacked. Asaku started to lick Inuyasha's face, and Izayoi jumped onto her mother, Kagome gave out a surprised yelp, but when she found out what's going on she threw her daughter off her back.
Then she quickly grabbed a sheet, and wrapped herself in it, then she lunged at Izayoi, the little girl tried to run, but she had no chance to get away from her mother in such a small room, soon Kagome had pinned her to the ground. Their noses were touching and the older youkai was growling playfully at her pup. The girl growled back, and used her tongue to counter, this distracted Kagome enough so that Izayoi could slip out of her hold.
Meanwhile Inuyasha was trying to get some more sleep, but he had no chance for that because Asaku continued to lick his face. He tried to hide his face, but then the little dog simply moved to the back of his neck, and continued with his torturing, soon Inuyasha gave up and started to stretch, but Asaku still continued with his attack. "It's all right pup! I'm up already!" he grumbled standing up, and making his way to his fire rat robe that was laying on the other side of the room.
Izayoi successfully avoided to be caught by her mother for the umpteenth time but unlike the last time she charged at her mother and grabbed one of Kagome's legs she extended one of her claws before looking at her mother with a triumphant face. The older youkai's eyes focused onto Izayoi's claw, as she slowly placed it on her foot. "No you don't!" screamed Kagome but it was too late, Izayoi started to draw circles around the center of Kagome's foot, but she was careful not to cut her mother. "Ahahahaha Stop it! Ahaha!" Izayoi extended another claw and moved her hand even faster.
"Do you give up mom?" asked the little girl, when she saw that Kagome is barely able to breath from laughing.
"Haaahahahah Never! Hahahaha." answered Kagome. The little girl added even more speed, both Inuyasha and Asaku simply watched with curiosity as the fight continued. Kagome tried to peel her daughter from her leg while trying not to laugh, but had little success. And the girl added another bit of speed to her movements.
The female youkai couldn't stand it any more, she wasn't even able to control her movements, and she started to roll around on the ground "AHHHHAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA I give up... I give up! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Izayoi smiled in triumph.
"I haven't heard it mom!" answered Izayoi, as she continued tickle Kagome's leg, but Inuyasha had enough, he gave out a small growl to signal that Izayoi should stop goofing around. Of course Izayoi knew when her parents meant business, and she stopped her torture.
"Ok so why did you two wake us?" asked Kagome knowing that usually an ambush like this only occurred when one of her pups wanted something.
"Can you smell that mom?" asked the pup.
Kagome smiled and nodded, "So you two want some cake?" the little girl nodded happily along with her brother who was just curious what this cake stuff was. The female youkai just smiled at least Izayoi didn't try to steel cake like she usually did with ramen.
"Feh! Next time try to wake us without tickling your mother to death." interrupted Inuyasha.
"You were the one who told her that I have ticklish feet in the first place." remembered Kagome.
Inuyasha gave out another "Feh!... Go and wake up you brother." he said turning to his kids, Izayoi complied and left the room, seconds later Asaku followed.
Kagome felt that two male hands lifted her up and held her close to her mate; she looked into Inuyasha's eyes and immediately knew where things are going. "I thought you had enough last night!"
"And what if I didn't?" asked Inuyasha.
"Then I have to take those horny off of you." she responded.
"You really think you're able?" asked Inuyasha with an evil expression. Then Kagome had and idea, she started to lick her husband's face just like Izayoi had done with her, she successfully broke out of his hold and the battle was on. The two never noticed the warning that was laid on the table.
"Kagome, Inuyasha get out of here if you want to live Akane's making breakfast!!!"
"P.S. This is no joke!!!"
In the other room Izayoi approached her next target, but unknown to her Shippo was wide awake, she jumped into the air, but got the fright of her life when the fox rolled out of the bed, and took Kioku with him, Izayoi tried to jump back into the air and avoid getting caught, but was immobilized by Kioku who grabbed her, and kept her in a tight hug. When Asaku saw that his sister was defeated he tried to get away, but he never had a chance to reach the door.
--A few minutes later---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha and Kagome made their way downstairs, but they only found their pups and Kioku. "Where's everybody?" asked Kagome.
"We don't know but Izayoi can't wait to taste Akane's cake, it really smells good." answered Shippo.
Kagome took a long sniff from the air /Well judging from the scent on she can't be a that bad cook, maybe the little incident yesterday was just an accident and she doesn't need any cooking lessons./ thought the youkai. The table was already set so she decided against helping Akane thinking that the human girl had everything under control boy was she in for a shock.
Not much time later Akane walked out of the kitchen, with a pot of steaming rice in her hand. Kagome flinched when she realized from where the scent was coming, the RICE smelled like CAKE.
"At least you guys didn't run away." stated Akane and placed the food on the table before making her way back into the kitchen to get the meat.
All youkais looked strangely at the food except for Izayoi who couldn't wait to taste the it, but when she saw her mothers face she could feel that something was wrong. Soon Akane returned with the other part of breakfast, she placed it on the table and stared at the demons with a happy face. Kagome plastered a smile, and decided to try the "food". /Who knows maybe it's an old family recipe and it'll taste great./ she reasoned while filling her plate.
Soon the others followed her lead but nobody, started to eat and Kagome still remembered what happened the day before, she looked at her food and picked up her chop-sticks, but didn't dare to start eating.
Inuyasha looked at her mate, and saw that she was nervous, and no wonder something was funny, he decided to "look" into her head, and immediately knew why Kagome was hesitating to start eating. /I'll taste it for you!/ he said/thought. Kagome smiled at him and Inuyasha took a bite, and in the same time Shippo also decided to try the "grub".
When Izayoi saw that her father and brother were eating she also decided to try, but Inuyasha's hand stopped her before she even had the chance to lift the something to her mouth. She looked up and saw that Inuyasha had a strange expression on his face, she turned her head to Shippo and his expression was similar.
The fox didn't know what to do with the stuff in his mouth, but he was sure that it had to get out of there, it tasted like a mix of mud, and mildew and it was HOOOOT like hell itself. Shippo quickly spit out about half of the toxic venom and swallowed the other half, soon after he solved this problem he could feel that a strong chemical reaction was starting in his digestive system. It was the same with Inuyasha, and shortly after that both of them left the room with full speed. Seconds later you could find them in the Tendo's back yard grazing.
Kagome walked over to the window and looked out to see that the men were busy mowing the lawn. Akane fell to her knees and stared at the ground "I messed it up again! Why? I thought that I had everything. What did I mix up now?"
Kagome saw that her newest friend was close to crying she immediately knew what to do "Ok first we get rid of this poi... "food", and then we'll start teaching you." Akane's eyes lit up, she jumped onto her legs, and made her way, to the kitchen. "Don't spill that stuff into the sink!" yelled Kagome after her, then she turned to Kioku "Burn that poison when she isn't looking, Inuyasha told me about the food he ate when he lived alone, but this stuff is too much even for him."
"Ok auntie I'll make sure that nothing remains of it!" answered the fox.
"Now the only thing we need is a giddy pig!" when Inuyasha and Shippo heard this both of them started to run not caring about their aching stomachs they were sure about one thing they newer again wanted to get within ten feet of Akane's cooking.
Few minutes later Akane's cooking lessons begun.
--Hours Later-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Akane was finally finished with her twentieth go to make a decent bowl of rice, Kioku who "volunteered" as the giddy pig (Well Asaku is feeding on Kagome's milk so she needs to avoid toxins) the fox sniffed at the food trying to decide if it is safe to try it, she already had some bad experiences and was hoping to avoid another one, for once she couldn't smell anything bad, on the contrary the rice smelled clean (if not too clean) and edible.
The fox hesitated but grabbed a pair of chop-sticks, she looked at the food and gulped./I hope those bad smells haven't burnt out my nose./ she took a bite, and for once the food wasn't horrifying, well ok it did taste a bit strange, but it was a beginning. "Auntie I think you should try this we're starting to make progress."
Kagome took the bowl from Kioku, and tasted the rice, and it really was close to be good. "Almost, a bit more practice and we can start with more with difficult things." The dog barely finished her sentence when she felt something strange within her mouth, and there was a tiny bit of a flavor in the food that she knew too well. She opened her mouth and expired. To her shock a large bubble left her mouth, both youkais looked at the bubble with stricken faces as it flew through the air, both of them murmured only one word "Shimata!" (damn it!)
Ranma landed on the top of the huge concrete fence that was around the Tendo dojo, he carefully looked around searching for Akane, it didn't take long for him to find the girl, she was bowing continuously, while saying sorry countless times. While Kioku and Kagome were busy with the lawn. He gulped and decided to leave the area for now, when he turned around he saw the two fathers on their way back home, he really didn't want to warn the two but Kasumi was with them so he landed on the ground in front of them. "I think you should avoid the house for now. I just saw Kagome and Kioku eating grass."
Both Genma and Soun gulped, and they turned around, however Kasumi continued her way, Ranma stopped her but she smiled at him. "Don't worry, I don't think they'll make me eat Akane's cooking, but they could need my help." with that said Kasumi walked on.
"Don't tell me I haven't warned you!" answered Ranma, before starting to run.
Meanwhile somewhere within the city two male demons were sitting on the rocky edge of a river, hidden by the bridge above them. "What do you think dad is it safe to go back?" asked Shippo.
"Not yet pup, your mother is stubborn like an ox, and the way that Tendo girl cooks (Shrudder) it could take some time till she gives up trying top teach her. But I'm sure glad that I've got nothing to do with that human."
Shippo nodded agreeing with his father, something had to be really wrong with that stuff to knock out a demons digestion. Suddenly a large amount of air left his stomach, the fox thought that he's going to throw up again, but instead he gave out the millennia's biggest burp.
--In the evening----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much after the little bubble incident it came out that Akane kinda mixed up a package of soap with salt, in the end Kagome, Kasumi, Kioku and Nodoka (Ranma's mother) all agreed on the fact they should teach the girl the don'ts before trying again and destroying anymore food. (Once she even mixed up vinegar with wine so this wasn't a that bad mistake.)
Inuyasha was looking after his pups in the back yard, as for the other two fathers, well they were sitting in front of the television watching the news, they heard about some disappearances in China and just figured that they might hear something new, the most problematic part of the entire story was that some people claimed to have seen dragons. Both were having a good laugh, but if they only knew what was going on, they'd be already leaving for America.
