Dinner

.

.

Unceremoniously he dropped the miko unto the chair at the dining table, he then headed back to the entrance that led to the kitchen, he winked and smiled at his staff, assuring them that what he had done was not against them. He then hollered, "FOOD," and sat himself at the table smiling at her jovially. This was turning out to be fun and he was not even done yet.

"FOOD!" She jumped as she heard him hollering a second time. She had quickly hidden the unfinished apple and now sat there stunned, her stomach hollering in protest at the wasted food back at the kitchen and at the apple it was now being denied as well. Why did he have to waste all that delicious smelling food? He should know how hungry she was! She narrowed her eyes at him as he hit the table and yelled even louder than she thought possible. That was it she had had enough. She snapped out of her chair, "YOU sel-"

"There my dear Kagome is your dinner!" He announced smiling as he cut her off. The kitchen staff hurried into the room to lay out the dishes on the table. He watched as she flopped back into the chair, at a loss for words it would seem and couldn't help the smirk that came to his lips.

Her mouth watered as the food was placed in front of her and in glee she grabbed the serving spoon and started filling her plate. Toga now forgotten, she picked up her fork, more than happy to assuage her upset stomach. Shoving her fork into the delicious smelling food and grabbing a chicken leg, she lean forward to take her first bite only to find air. Startled she looked at her hand and found it empty the chicken and fork sitting on her plate.

Toga smirked as he peered down at her. Laying a hand on her shoulder he chastised her rush to eat before giving thanks. Closing his eyes he began and peeked out to see she was watching the food instead. He cleared his throat and coughed, getting her attention he then placed his hand in front of him and peering down at her, waited for her to do the same.

Trying her best not to scream she gave him her best smile and clasping her hands in front of her closed her eyes. As she waited for him to begin, she leaned forward and took a deep breath of the food in front of her making her nose twitch in pleasure. She licked her lips and pulled in her bottom lips, in anticipation of the meal to come. 'So good.' She softly moaned to herself ready to eat that yummy smelling chicken.

Toga began his thanks mumbling the words so she knew not what he said. He would occasionally say a word; throwing in a thank you or amen here. All the while keeping a discreet eye on the miko.

Kagome saw him bow down and quickly did the same and went for the food only to find her self stopped again. Toga shook his head at her and clasped his hands back in front of him and continued his prayer of thanks. She took in a deep breath and clasping her hands together, mustered a half-smile. She once more lowered her head but this time kept her eyes open watching the food in front of her with longing. If she could just get a small piece in her mouth to hold her over . . .

He openly smirked as he watched her hand slowly reach out to her plate, he once again bowed, forcing her to pull her hand away and do the same, this time though she kept her hands clasped. He continued his mumble of thanks, wondering if maybe he had gotten his point across.

Kagome had had enough at this point. How long could one person give prayer of thanks to the Kami? As he began to bow one more time, she snapped and bowing quickly yelled, "AMEN!"

No, it would seem not. 'Hn.'
