After Inu walked away from Ed, he headed strait for the kitchen. He and Kouga had Dinner detail. Ed and Al cooked breakfast, Roy and Sesshomaru cooked lunch (when Sesshy was there), and Inu cooked dinner while Kouga sat down to watch (lazy). But dinner was the best time...for revenge !

He knew that Shippou and Kagome would stay for dinner. He had plenty of time for...REVENGE ! (Careful, you'll end up like Sesshy)

Inu started cooking spaghetti, boiling noodles and such. Kouga fell asleep before too long. Okay, let's see. Inu thought. What would be the best way? He and Kagome are likely to stay afterwards, so I could suggest we do something, and Shippou could have an..."accident". He grinned. This is going to be fun. Finally, the meal was finished, and Inu yelled out the door "Come eat!"

As there was now more people than at lunch, some had to go outside. Inu volenteered. Following him went Sango, Riza, Winry, Miroku, Al, and Ed. Riza, Sango and Winry threatened Miroku with all manner of wrenches, swords, and guns, so Miroku went to sit as far away from them as possible. Riza seemed more open than that afternoon, which Sango would tell Kagome, who would likely investigate later.

Ed was very quiet, which meant he was thinking. Hard. He didn't even retaliate when Inu threw spaghetti at him! Al would ask if he was alright every now and then, getting almost no response. Kagome would peer out the open door from the kitchen at Ed from time to time, before snapping her eyes back to her plate. This did not go unnotice by Winry. And Miroku was staring at the most inappropriate place on Riza, Sango, and Winry. Which also was noticed, and punished. (he he he)

A few minutes after Miroku woke up from his injuries, Kagome walked out, looking worried.

"Inu," She started, "What did you put in the sauce?"

"I don't know. Why?" He said.

"You didn't put in mushrooms, did you?" She said, sounding hopeful.

"Yeah. Why?"

As soon as he said that, Kagome started towards him, dagger eyed. Sango jumped to stop her, she knew Kagome was about to slap him. Riza sighed.Typical. Al looked over at Ed, worried about his reaction. Inu still wondered what he did. Miroku rushed into the kitchen, followed by Winry, asking if Shippou was alright. But before Inu could ask why, Ed got up, and punched him. Al couldn't stop him. Alas.

"You idiot! You know Shippou's allergic to mushrooms!" Ed said angrily.

"Well, maybe I didn't!" Inu said. Then he remembered last time they had spaghetti. Kagome had told him not to put mushrooms in it.

"How could you forget?" Ed asked, then his eyes widened. He pulled his arm back to punch him again. This time Al grabbed it. "Brother, stop! "

"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Because he lied and got us in trouble? You--"

He struggled, pulling free of Al's grip. He punched Inu anywhere he could reach, untill Roy grabbed Inu and threw him away from Ed. He was breathing heavily, but walked away, telling Kagome he'd help take care of Shipou. They had decided that he'd stay overnight there.

"He can sleep in my room." Roy said, but Ed shook his head.

"Roy, we all know your temper flares up when you don't get your sleep." Ed sai, trying to smile." Put him in my room."

So Miroku and Winry carried Shippou up stairs to Ed and Al's room. He was delerious, with a fever and red spots on his face (he's very allergic to mushrooms). Ayame said she'd go ask her Grandpa for some tea that helped with reactions. Sango and Riza tried to get Kagome to calm down, without killing Inu, like she wanted. Sesshomaru was watching Inu through a window, not because he didn't trust him (but he didn't), but in case Ed came back. And Inu, all the while, was wondering how he forgot.

But after about half an hour, everyone simmered down. Ed was no longer in danger on kicking Inu's ass (again) and neither was Kagome. Ayame had the tea,to bringdown Shippou's fever.Miroku was reading each and every book in the house trying to find something for the dilerium. Shippou nowthought he was a 3 year old girl. Winry, who was a natural doctor, told Roy to heat up some oatmeal for the spots, then had Sango apply it. She was going to calm down Kagome, who was still ticked.She was pacing and bad mouthing Inu in every way, shape and form.

"How could he do that? 'Oops, I forgot. Sorry.' Sorry my foot! If I had my way, Inu would be a bloody pulp right now!"

She stopped, breathing as though she had just run a race. Winry took this chance to back her up. Riza had to go back to her place earlier, but she promised to check on Shippou the next morning.

"Kagome, trust me, I feel the same way. But I don't think Inu is smart enough to take revenge on Shippou that way. I bet he did it without realizing it."

"EXACTLY! And why?" She asked, then continued on without waiting for an answer, "BECAUSE HE'S AN IDIOT!"

Then she stoppped, and looked at Winry. "Do you think Inu had Ed's help? They both got in trouble."

"I don't know. " Winry said, then thought of something. "No, Ed was out in the orchard when Inu was cooking. I think Inu did forget."

Winry looked up in time to see Kagome sigh.

"You seem a bit worried that Ed's involved, Kagome." Winry said smiling."I noticed the looks from the kitchen, you know, all of them."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean what do I mean? You obviously like Ed."

"Maybe I do. But I have to worry about Shippou right now. I don't have time for a relationship." She said, then opened the door, to go upstairs.

A few minutes after she left, Ed walked in. He sat down beside Winry, saying "I think Kagome needs some time alone with Shippou."

"That's a good idea." She said, then asked, "Ed, you didn't really put Shippou in the trash, did you?"

"No, we were in the barn. Inu was asking whose idea it was to dye his ears pink. I was practising alchemy."

They didn't say anything. Finally, Winry asked, "Do you like Kagome?"

"As a friend? Yeah."

"Ed, you know me well enough to know thta's no what I meant." She said, giving him a skeptical look. "She likes you, you know."

"Yeah. I heard. I was in the hallway."

"Oh." Winry said, realizing that meant he also heard that Kagome didn't have time for relationships.

Before she could say anything else, there was a knock at the front door. They both knew Sesshomaru would get it. "Ed. Someone wants to see you." Now they both got confused. Ed got up, and Winry followed him. When they got to the door, Sesshomaru gave them a meaningful stare, then stepped aside so the could see who it was. A girl with shoulder lenght black hair and red tips stood in the doorway. She had dark red eyes, and wore a red shirt with blue jeans. Ed's eyes widened.

"Hey Ed. Long time, no see."

"Jessica...?"

Don't kill me. Please don't kill me. (looks at angry mob) Hey, if you kill me, I won't be able to finish the story!
