InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Future ❯ The Discovery of Cereal ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter Two:

 

Inuyasha awoke the next morning promptly at sunrise. He was surprised to see that Kagome had slept downstairs with him instead of in her bedroom like she normally did when he spent the night. But, he wasn't exactly happy to see that she was sleeping.

 

Grumbling to himself, he climbed off of the floor, stretched, and looked for the nearest door so that he could go "test" the well.

 

He approached the well house quickly and practically threw the door open. Without hesitation, he leaped into the well and waited for the blue light to surround him. Just like the day before, there was nothing. He growled angrily and kicked at the dirt beneath his feet. He didn't understand it. The well had worked perfectly fine when he came through from his time, so why wasn't working now?

 

It was obviously being blocked, but the question was: By what?

 

Determined, Inuyasha stayed in the little shack well over an hour kicking and pounding it's walls, and breaking the dirt with his sword in some what of an attempt to get it to "work".

 

"I hate this!" he yelled angrily and stormed out of the little house, muttering under his breath as he crossed the yard and made a hasty entrance to the house. He began pouting as he made his way to the kitchen. What was he going to do here ? There were no evil demons to exterminate and there were no shards that needed to be hunted. He sulked at the kitchen table at how bored he was and then looked up at the sound of light footsteps.

 

Kagome entered the kitchen, yawning, her arms stretched high above her head. She rubbed her eyes and slowly made her way to her refrigerator.

 

"'Bout time you dragged yourself out of bed," Inuyasha said.

 

"Good morning to you too," she said with a smile.

 

Inuyasha sulked further. She wasn't even going to act angry with him! What was he going to do for entertainment?

 

"Do you want some cereal?" she asked, opening the refrigerator to retrieve a gallon of milk.

 

"Does it taste like Ramen?" he asked, suddenly perking up.

 

"Not quite but it's pretty good," she told him and grabbed a box of generic cereal from the cupboard.

 

He shrugged and she joined him at the table after fetching a couple of bowls and spoons from the cabinets. Inuyasha watched her curiously as she poured "cereal" in each of their bowls. She then added milk and passed him his bowl and a spoon.

 

She giggled at his expression and said, "Go on, it's not going to bight you." He scowled at her and then dipped his spoon in his bowl, attempting to feed himself some of the food. His hand shook a little and all of the cereal fell back into the bowl. He growled and Kagome smiled as he began struggling yet again with his food.

 

Finally, he managed to scoop some into his mouth. Kagome watched him as he concentrated on scooping up the bits of marshmallows and cereal pieces in the bowl. He chewed (what he managed to get into his mouth) with his mouth open and even though it was pretty gross to watch his food get demolished, Kagome found him to be utterly cute at the moment.

 

She saw that he was not very fond of the spoon method and almost laughed out loud when he picked the bowl up and drank the cereal in with the milk. Once the bowl was empty, he set the bowl back on the table and wiped lingering milk from his face with his arm.

 

"You gonna finish that?" he asked, eying her untouched cereal.

 

Kagome shook her head and watched with an amused look in her eye as he downed yet another bowl of "Marshmallow Fruit O's" (A/N: Gotta love generic cereal names.)

 

"Are you done staring at me?" he asked, and she blushed.

 

"I wasn't staring," she lied.

 

"Could of fooled me," he muttered.

 

"Feel better?" she asked.

 

"What do you mean?"

 

"Well, when I first came in here, you were pretty..grumpy," she remarked and he frowned.

 

"Well, I can't say that I'm happy about the well," he said, folding his arms across his chest.

 

"It still isn't working?" she asked, a somewhat giddy feeling creeping into her. She wasn't exactly in a hurry to get back to the Feudal Era.

 

"If it was, you think I would still be sitting here!" he asked, annoyance clear in his voice.

 

"Look, you shouldn't be such a grouch. At least you can get some rest for once," she said, suddenly becoming very edgy. Leave it to him to go and ruin a nice moment.

 

"I don't have time for rest! We need to go shard hunting! By now, Naraku probably has the whole jewel!"

 

"You're so ungrateful! And stupid! Naraku can't have the whole jewel because I have a fourth of it hanging from me neck!"

 

"Oi wench, I know that! The point is we're losing time!"

 

By then, the rest of Kagome's family had awakened and all entered the kitchen to witness a hanyou being sat into the kitchen floor.

 

"Stupid self centered little wench," Inuyasha muttered into the floor.

 

"Well this "self centered little wench" has control over your pain! Sit boy!" Kagome yelled and stormed off to her bedroom.

 

She couldn't wait until the well was fixed. The sooner he went back to his time, the better!
