Chapter 2: Surprise guest and baking cookies
"Why do I even go to the Feudal Era?" Kagome asked herself softly. She looked in the mirror and realized she was crying. She quickly wiped the tears away and decided to have a quick shower to try and forget about what had happened. She turned on the water and stepped into the heat. 'Ah this is much better' she thought.
During her shower Inuyasha climbed out of the well and jumped up into the God tree to wait for Kagome. 'If she is still mad she will come out eventually and sit under this tree' he thought. He smiled as his ears picked up the sound of the shower running. 'After her shower she will come out here' he thought happily, 'then I can apologize'
He closed his eyes and waited for Kagome.
After getting dressed, Kagome towel dried her hair. Then she brushed it quickly and walked downstairs. She was still a little depressed so she decided to sit under the God tree. 'Thank god for that tree' she thought, 'it has helped me through everything that has happened'
She walked outside and sat down under the tree unaware of the half-demon sitting a few branches above her.
"Why can't he ever just keep quiet about Kikyo?" she said quietly talking to herself.
Inuyasha opened his eyes and perked up his ears.
"He is so stupid sometimes but I guess he does put up with me though… I can be so mean sometimes with always telling him to sit."
Inuyasha suddenly fell out of the tree and landed beside Kagome. "Stupid necklace" he muttered angrily.
Kagome squeaked in surprise. "What are you doing here Inuyasha?"
He sat up and brushed himself off. "I came to uh, check on you and make sure you were ok." There was no way he was going to admit he came to apologize.
"Oh" Kagome said, "I'm sorry for saying si" she caught herself just in time, "I mean the s word."
"Its ok you didn't know I was up in the God tree." He said then his eyes narrowed, "or did you know I was up there and you did that purposely?"
"No I didn't know you were up there. I didn't even notice you."
"Oh"
"Do you want to come inside? I think I'm going to make some chocolate chip cookies."
"Sure I'll come in but Kagome?"
"Yeah Inuyasha?"
"Can I make the cookies for you? I feel bad about earlier."
"What? Ummm… Ok I guess. Do you know how to make them?"
"No but it can't be too hard and I'll ask your mom for help if I need it ok?"
Kagome looked uncertainly at him. Inuyasha smiled reassuringly. "Oh ok but if you need anything at all call my mom ok?"
"Ok" The half-demon smiled happy that he could do something to make Kagome happy again and hopefully make it so she wouldn't be mad at him anymore.
Ten minutes later Inuyasha realized he had no idea where anything was for cookies. He went around and opened every drawer and cupboard and left them open so he could find things a little bit easier.
"Ok first off I need the recipe, hmmm… where could that be?" he wondered out loud, "Mrs. Higurashi where is the recipe book?" he called.
"It's right here." She said from right behind him, pointing at the open drawer beside the oven.
Inuyasha yelped in surprise and whirled around. "Oh ok thank you Mrs. Higurashi." He said as calmly as he could even though his heart was racing from the shock.
"No problem dear, now what do you plan on baking?" she said as if she hadn't just scared him half to death.
"Chocolate chip cookies for Kagome."
"Oh that's sweet of you. Well if you need anything else just call." And with that said she walked out quietly.
"Ok will do madam." He said jokingly in a bad French accent, tipping an invisible hat. Then he noticed she was already gone. 'Weird lady' he thought to himself 'I hate when she sneaks up on me like that and then leaves just as quietly' "Oh well" He muttered, "now where is that flour?"
After putting the cookies in the oven he looked around the kitchen. Flour covered most of the counters, there was egg on the ceiling, batter on the floor and in his hair, and there were dirty dishes on the counter and in the sink. 'Oh well no big deal,' he thought to himself, 'at least I got these cookies done'
Fifteen minutes later he pulled out the cookies and burned his fingers since he forgot to put on the oven mitts. "Ouch! And Kagome does this for fun? She must be crazy!"
He set them down and after letting them cool he put them on a plate and brought them up to Kagome waiting up in her room.
"Kagome!" he called up the stairs "Can I come up? I made those cookies!"
"Yeah come on up!" he could hear faintly. He climbed upstairs and went in Kagome's room.
"Oh these look delicious!" she said when she saw the cookies. After eating one she exclaimed over how good they tasted.
"Can I have one too Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"Of course you can. You deserve one."
Inuyasha reached over and took one but Kagome grabbed his hand before he could stop her.
"What did you do to your hand?" she asked inspecting the burn.
"I did that when I took the cookies out of the oven. How can making them be fun when you have to burn your hand in order to get to eat them?" he asked
Kagome laughed
"What's so funny?" he huffed
"Your supposed to put on oven mitts before you pick up the pan silly."
"Oh" Inuyasha blushed.
"Mmm! These cookies are so good! Great job Inuyasha!"
"Thanks Kagome but could I have a shower?" he pointed at the batter in his hair.
"Oh sure go ahead." Kagome chuckled.
"Ok thanks I'll be out in a little while then"
"Alright take your time I'm going to go downstairs and watch some tv, see you in a bit."
Kagome walked downstairs and sat with Sota, sharing the rest of the cookies and watching a cartoon with him.
After the cookies were gone Kagome went out to the kitchen to put the plate in the sink. What she saw shocked her. 'How could one half-demon make such a mess?' she mussed
She set the plate down and walked back to where Sota was sitting and waited until Inuyasha finished his shower. After about ten minutes she heard the water shut off and she got up and walked over to the stairs and called up him "Inuyasha! Come here I have to talk to you!"
Inuyasha showed up at the top of the stairs and looked at her. "What is it Kagome?" He asked.
