"Here you are, sir!"
Inuyasha's eye twitched, as he handed his money to the smiling boy. He really could not stand him or that weird boyfriend of his, Jakotsu. But, he supposed that he could act civil enough that the boy would continue to bring him his daily lunch, instead of refusing to serve him.
"I suppose I'll be seeing you again tomorrow, Inuyasha?" Hojo grinned.
Snatching the bag with his cups inside, Inuyasha grumbled, "Prob-ly."
Hojo's eyes twinkled in a way that made Inuyasha uncomfortable, as he leaned into the doorway a bit more than he should have. "Well," the boy said, "I'll make sure to tell Jakotsu that."
"Err—you do that," Inuyasha coughed, beginning to shut the door.
"He'll be so happy," Hojo continued, chuckling. "After all, it's only a matter of time."
Curious, Inuyasha asked, "Matter of time?"
"Oh, Inuyasha, don't be silly." Hojo shook his head lightly, turning on his heel. "Jakotsu and I can't give away all our secrets. To do so would ruin the surprise."
Shuddering uncomfortably, since he was pretty sure the homosexual was flirting with him, Inuyasha made a gesture toward his kitchen. "I'm gonna go eat now," he stated. "I'm sure you've got somethin' you're supposed to be doin' back at the ramen shop."
Hojo brightened up, nodding, "Oh, yes! I must hurry back! Bankotsu and Renkotsu would be disappointed if I slacked off, not to mention Jakotsu's—!"
"Whatever," Inuyasha said, finally slamming the door in the boy's face. He really did not care how rude the action seemed, the boy had kept him from eating his ramen and hit on him. Besides, knowing that kid, he would get over it within the hour.
Walking into the kitchen, Inuyasha withdrew the two steaming cups filled with ramen and set them onto the table. His mouth began to water almost instantly, as he searched for an available pair of chopsticks. After all, there was no reason for him to dirty a bowl when the ramen came in such a convenient cup.
But, man, did that ramen smell delicious.
Finding a pair of chopsticks, Inuyasha cracked open one of the cups sitting on his table. This was definitely going to be one of his finest moments—!
He nearly dropped the cup when the doorbell rang. And he cursed, realizing that some of the broth had ended up on his favorite shirt. However, he was not given time to even curse about it, when the doorbell rang again. "Yeah, yeah, I'm comin'," he growled.
Marching to the door, Inuyasha swung it open and was thoroughly surprised by the two women waiting on the other side for him.
"Ew? Inuyasha, are you still eating that crap?"
