Chapter 7- Dinner And Wounds

kagome slowly walked to the kitchen in thought while InuYasha walked silently beside her, their footsteps echoing softly in the dark halls. Kagome shivered. It was FREEZING in the school! 'Im gonna have to find the school's furnace or something' she thought. 'But right now, what are we going to do for food?'as if on cue, her stomach gave off a soft growl. InuYasha looked at her funnily and smirked but didn't say anything. She only blushed, widening the smirk. 'Oh Kami why me?'she thought losing her blush slightly but she shivered again, this time InuYasha noticed. 'Alright, we'll go down to the cafeteria and see what we have and ration it. We only eat what we need a day. That way we wont run out-' her thoughts were cut short by something warm being draped upon her shoulders. Something bright red with the scent of a light sweat and pine. She turned her head and saw none other than InuYasha wearing his red pants and his white undershirt. He had given Kagome his overcoat.

"Thank you InuYasha." she said grabbing it and wrapping it around her body.

"Keh, whatever" he huffed and averted his gaze to the opposite wall, slightly blushing. Kagome giggled at his antics and brushed it off. Then, InuYasha spoke up. "What are we gonna do for food? Your starving. I can tell because you may not be talkin' but your stomach wont shut up." he plastered on his infamous smirk, causing her to blush madly. In his eyes there was a mischievous, evil glint in his eyes, which told kagome he was very amused. Just then his stomach growled, softly but surly. He pouted while Kagome laughed.

"Come on InuYasha, you may say your not hungry, but your stomach wont shut up!" she said mimicing his words. A scowl formed across his face. She. Was. NOT. Supposed to be making fun of him, it was supposed to be the other way around. But before he could complain and regain control of the situation, kagome grabbed his hand and pulled him into the cafeteria. " alright InuYasha. IM making the food this time. Since last time you nearly put the school on fire... now what to make..." she said sifting through cupboards and saw a few ckae mixes for those special occasions. She smirked as she took a marble one out. Even though chocolate was her favorite, she didn't know if InuYasha could have chocolate. He WAS part dog demon after all. 'Better safe than sorry' she decided on the angel food cake. She grabbed all the supplies she needed and told InuYasha what she was making. "InuYasha, we are not doing this often so don't get used to it but since it's our first day, im making a cake for dinner! An angel food cake. I think youll like it!" she said cheerfully.

"Not if you make it..." he mumbled.

"Im sorry care to repeat that InuYasha?" sh said in a threatening tone not looking up from her mixing bowl.

"N-no!" he said cowardly. He cringed at how pathetic his voice sounded. 'Well thats to be expected after being sat for so long you kinda learn to dread it!' he assured himself.

"InuYasha! Will you come here a moment?! I need you for a bit!" she summoned him into the kitchen. He obediently complied and walked into the room. (Now when it comes to baking, I have no clue what im talking about so bear with me here! I don't know what goes into angel food cake so suck it up if you do!)

"What?" he asked lazily strolling into the kitchen. He watched her with mild interest as Kagome , like a hurricane, ran about the room, trying her best to do everything correctly. She stopped and looked at him with a smile.

"Can you please get me the flour over there? It's that huge white bag." she said bussing herself again. Just then an evil idea came to mind for InuYasha. He would go along with this...for now.

"Yeah sure thing." he said formulating an mischievous plot. 'Uh-oh' thought kagome. She had no idea what she was in for...

The cake was finally in the oven and starting to bake. Kagome leaned against the wall and let out a sigh of relief, and satisfaction. Just then she heard something, a small chuckle. She looked up. InuYasha was there hold the bag of flour.

"InuYasha? What are you doing with the bag of flour?" she asked, fearing the answer. "Wait don't answer tha-offfffff." she was cut short by a ball of flour hitting her in the forehead. As she wiped the flour from her face and eyes, she heard InuYasha roaring with laughter. She opened her eyes to see him doubled over laughing so hard. "Whats so funny" she asked walking over to him. He was too weak to move, all because he was laughing so hard. She grabbed the flour and dumped half on his head and ran for the high hills around the cafeteria. He stopped laughing in an instant and began the chase...

About 15 minutes later the were both, hot, and covered in one substance or another, mainly flour. Kagome look like a half demon herself almost. Her hair was mostly a dusty white. As was her already pale skin and clothes. InuYasha was in the same boat. He was just a white as Kaogme was. When Kagome stopped laughing she said, " I thin I should go check on the cake" she said earning a shrug from InuYasha. She went in to see a beautifully baked cake, just waiting to be pulled out of the oven and eaten. She reached in, not having any oven mitts and painfully pulled the cake out. She nearly dropped it on the way to putting it onto the counter. She examined her hands. A mild burn and each finger, knuckle, and a bit on her palms. Blood was slowly making it's way to the surface of her skin. She hissed. "Ouch. That hurts"

"Hey wench! You okay in there? I smell blood." Halliard InuYasha from the next room, concern leaking into his voice, ever so slightly. You could only pick it up if you knew him well enough. The only people who could possibly pick it up were Sango, Miroku and shippo. Kagome could without a doubt pick it up. She knew him inside and out and yet he still surprised her sometimes.

"Im fine don't worry, though I may need your help!" she called back. InuYasha was in front of her in a flash.

"Show me your hands wench!" he ordered. She shook her head.

"It's nothing. Ill live."

"I said, show me, your hands" he ground out through clenched teeth. One of his fangs were sticking out his bottom lip. That only happened when he was real pissed off. She shivered under his intense golden gaze and shifted her weight. She slowly showed him her hands. "You call this nothing? Boy kagome..." he said annoyed. 'What to do, what to do' he said examining the wounds.

"Lick her wounds! They'll heal faster and better. Lick her wounds!" his demon screamed. He nodded and carried kagome bridal style to the nurses office which had a bed just down the hall way. He remembered seeing it before going into the sex ed room. He shuddered at the thought as he laid kagome down on the bed and sat down beside her in a chair. 'Oh boy, Kagome please don't kill me...' he thought bringing her hand to his mouth. He began to gently, lovingly, lick her wounds. Cleaning the blood off and everything.

Kagome went wide-eyed. What on earth was he doing!? Why was he licking her wounds? Although she had to admit it felt good. It took the worst of the pain out of it, so that it barely hurt at all. As he licked a little more, the pain went away entirely. She finally realized how red she must be right now. He let go and repeated the processes with her other hand. She looked over her hand that InuYasha just finished with. No big burn marks! There should have been. Now it was just a little pink where the burn was. Not a big break in the skin anymore. Where there was a break in the skin there was nothing more then a thin line. She attempted to pull her hand way saying, "thank you InuYasha. But it's okay now" but he looked up and his eyes flashed crimson red. She gasped softly and gave him her hand back. She couldn't explain it, but for some reason she was enjoying his little ministrations. She didn't know why, but she did. Soon he had finished licking her wounds and slid a hand under her shoulders and another under her knees and carried her back to the cafeteria to have their 'dinner'.
