Re-cap:

"Now that sounds like a good plan." Kagome sighed and helped Akane help Ryouga to his feet. "It's getting really late, maybe you guys should stay here for the tonight."

"I guess we should. I'll go phone home and tell dad that we're here." Akane said. Kagome went with her to show her where the phone was and to tell her mom that everybody was staying over.

Chapter 9: Pancakes

The next day, after everybody got up, Kagome was attempting to teach Akane how to make pancakes from scratch. That however, was not working very well.

"No Akane, that's salt! You need sugar!" Kagome grabbed Akane's wrist before she could dump it in.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Akane put down the salt and sighed, "I'll never get this right."

Kagome thought for a minute and then she got an idea. "Hmm…okay Akane, add 1 tablespoon vinegar."

Akane glanced over at Kagome with a doubtful look on her face. "Uh…vinegar? Are you sure? I mean…"

Kagome nodded her head, "Yep, that's what the recipe calls for."

"Uh…okay then…" She went to the cupboard and pulled out a container. It was only after she measured it out and added it to the mix of previous ingredients that she realized that what she added wasn't vinegar. "Oh shoot. I added vegetable oil instead. Kagome, I'm sorry, I'm ruining everything."

Kagome shook her head. "Don't worry, it's okay," she turned around, so Akane couldn't see her grin. 'Perfect, if I tell her the wrong ingredients, she'll put the right ones in!'

Akane sighed, "Alright, what's next then?"

About half an hour later, Kagome and Akane brought out a plate of pancakes and set it out on the table infront of the boys and Sango.

Ranma looked skeptically at the food.

Akane picked up a pancake with a fork and plopped it down on Ranma's plate. "I want you to try the first one," she smiled at him and he stared down at the pancake.

"You made this Akane? Are you sure that it's edible?"

Akane growled at him and shoved the pancake in his mouth. "Why don't you just choke and die!" She yelled and stomped back into the kitchen while the other guys snickered at him. Kagome gave him a scornful look.

"Agh, you know that Akane worked really hard to make a good breakfast for you."

Ranma didn't listen to her, but instead was trying to chew and swallow the pancake that was half shoved down his throat.

"Hey, it's pretty good. Are you sure Akane made this?" he asked, looking up at Kagome. She rolled her eyes.

Akane came back out of the kitchen, obviously hearing Ranma compliment her cooking. "Really? But…" she looked at Kagome, "I screwed up practically all of the ingredients."

Kagome smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "I guess you did better than you thought."

"Well, I've had enough of this. I'm eating," Inuyasha said, stabbing a pancake with his fork and biting a piece off of it.

Akane beamed, 'Wow, I actually made something that Ranma likes!'

"C'mon, let's sit down," Kagome said to Akane and pulled out a chair for herself beside Inuyasha.
