The Way to a Girl's Heart

 

Hojo was done screwing around. He had tried everything he could think of to woo his precious Kagome, but now he had the sure-fire way to win her heart, or at least an uninterrupted date. He had…baked her a desert!

 

“Wow, thanks Hojo-kun!” Kagome gushed as he presented her his home-made ice cream cake after school. “What flavor is it?”

 

“The top layer is shrimp and the bottom is wasabi.”

 

It took all of Kagome's self-control to keep from losing her lunch on the sidewalk. But he looked so pathetically pleading, so she couldn't refuse him when he asked to take her to the movies on Saturday.

 

“Great! See you tomorrow, Higurashi!” the boy called cheerfully as he departed. Kagome sighed heavily as she glanced at her present. Hopefully I'll be “sick” again tomorrow…and Saturday. Ever since she had come to terms with her feelings for Inuyasha, going out with Hojo just seemed…dumb.

 

When she arrived at the shrine, she stuck the now partially-melted cake in the freezer and went upstairs to study. An hour later, when a cacophony of yelling, groaning, and cussing broke her concentration, she rushed downstairs to see what the fuss was about. She found Inuyasha rolling around on the floor, his head clenched tightly in his hands.

 

“Inuyasha! What's wrong?!” she asked in a panic.

 

“So…cold…” Kagome was confused until she noticed her cake sitting on the counter, a suspicious looking chunk taken out of the top of it.

 

“It's just brain-freeze, Inuyasha,” she said exasperatedly. He shook his head violently.

 

“Head…gonna…explode…” Kagome just sighed and waited out the pain with him, mostly so she could tear him a new one for eating her cake! But before she could react he had already taken another handful, this time…

 

“Wait, Inuyasha! The bottom layer is—!”

 

“WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

 

“…wasabi.”

 

“Y-you tryin' to kill me, wench?!” he hollered when he was finished prancing around the kitchen slapping at his abused tongue.

 

“Me?! I don't remember telling you to eat MY CAKE!!!”

 

“Feh! You can have your precious cake! I'll be outside eating leaves!”

 

 

A/N - ice cream in Japan really is fish and wasabi flavored (see this website: http://bertc.com/subfive/recipes/japanese_ice_creams.htm). Home-made ice cream cakes are great, but I was thinking more along the lines of forbidden chocolate on the bottom and fudge-berry-swirl on the top. Mmmmm…
