Chapter 3: Helping Out And The Joy of Ramen

"Inuyasha you have until the count of three to get down here and help clean the kitchen! You made the mess so you can help clean it up!" Kagome yelled from the bottom of the stairs to the top.

Inuyasha stood at the top of the stairs looking down at her.

"1"

"Why do I have to Kagome?"

"2"

"Kagome!"

"2 ½"

Inuyasha sighed

"3"

"What are you going to do now? You counted to three and I'm still not down there." He pointed out.

Kagome muttered, "I didn't want to have to do this but…"

"What are you planning Kagome?"

"SIT!"

THUD

Inuyasha fell on his face, landed on the stairs and crashed down then landing at Kagome's feet.

Kagome looked down at the half demon on the ground in front of her. "Now who's in charge?" she smirked.

Inuyasha glared at her "You are." He muttered.

"That's right." She smiled and put out her hand to help him up.

Inuyasha growled and pushed her hand away. "I'm fine." He quietly said following her out to the kitchen.

Two hours later Inuyasha went upstairs and sat down Indian style on the floor and heard Kagome drag herself up the stairs after him.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome as she walked in the room.

"So are we having ramen for dinner tonight?"

Inuyasha looked up hopefully at Kagome from his spot on the floor.

"We just had that last night. Remember?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome with the saddest face he could manage. Realizing that wouldn't work with Kagome he growled.

"Kagome"

"Inuyasha"

"Kagome"

"Inuyasha"

"Kagome"

"Inuyasha!"

"KAGOME!"

"INUYASHA!"

Sota walked in and smiled.

"Well now that we clarified that you to know each others names I guess I can tell you that dinner is ready."

Inuyasha leapt to his feet and nearly tackled Sota to the ground.

"What are we having?" he asked eagerly.

"Calm down boy! We're having ramen for-"

"Ramen? We're having ramen? Why didn't you say so in the first place? Let's go!" Inuyasha screamed happily.

He jumped over Sota and ran down the stairs as fast as he could.

Kagome and Sota looked at one another and burst out laughing.

After dinner was finished Kagome and Inuyasha went back to the Feudal Era. Kagome had her bag half full with ramen thanks to a certain dog-demon walking beside her.

"Since you wanted all this ramen do you think you could at least carry my bag?" she asked Inuyasha

"No what if we're attacked by a demon? I can't protect you if I have to carry that big bag around."

"Well fine I guess then I could go give this ramen to Koga. I'm sure he would like it."

"NO! I mean uh, that won't be necessary. Here I'll carry that bag for you." He grabbed the yellow bag and put it on. 'Holy this is heavy' he thought.

"Thanks Inuyasha!" Kagome called and skipped off ahead of him, "your such a big help!"

"Yeah, sure whatever" Inuyasha huffed and followed behind her.
