The Hanyou Hits the Frying Pan: An Inuyasha fanfic

 

Summary: Inuyasha challenges Sesshomaru on Iron Chef America. Who will win and can Alton Brown stay out of the way? This is a sequel of sorts to Southern Fried Hanyou but is only just for kicks.

NOTE: In Southern Fried Hanyou, Inuyasha became human for Kagome.

Kagome studied the planner in her Blackberry. In two weeks it would be year since Inuyasha came back into her life and regained his full humanity. She glanced out her French doors and watched Inuyasha tossing a stick to Kiki the golden retriever.

 

Kiki had the stick and refused to give it up. She played keep away as Inuyasha chased her around the yard; his long black hair flowing behind him.

 

Kagome smiled and thought: He's given me so much happiness. I want to celebrate our anniversary and do something really special for him.

 

She'd been searching for just the right gift. Kim, her assistant professor suggested they go on one of those Hedonism Resort Club vacation getaways. Kagome had been skeptical.

 

“Take Inuyasha to a nude beach?”

 

Kim gave a wicked grin. “I went there with Harry and it was top notch! Ultra sexy.”

 

“I just can't see him there. I mean we are talking about a man who barely even drinks alcohol!”

 

“Well ya just need to loosen him up a bit!” had been her reply.

 

Kagome was just thrilled Inuyasha had finally given up sitting on her roof with the Tetsusaiga across his lap. Dragging him to a nude beach seemed a bit…much.

 

There had to be something. She racked her brain as he opened the door and Kiki bounded in behind him. He grabbed an iced green tea from the fridge and paused to kiss her. His lips met hers in a quick causal kiss but the heat was there and Kagome was tempted to stop him from proceeding into the den. But no, that kind of fun would have to wait until after his favorite show; `Iron Chef America' was over.

 

Inuyasha adjusted well to television and he loved everything on Food Network except for Iron Chef. He thought the dubbed voices were ridiculous. However when the America version debuted, hosted by his favorite food celebrity, he was hooked. In fact she'd been forced to bann him from her kitchen for his own safety and that of the house. His obsession deepened when he'd discovered Alton Brown lived in nearby Marietta GA.

 

Kagome heard the TV switch on and Alton's voice filled her den. She winced as the sound was turned up. Why in the heck does that man have to turn the volume up so loud?! The only thing she could figure was it to compensate for the loss of his yokai sense of hearing.

 

Alton was announcing the secret ingredient of the day, moose, when it hit her. They are filming that show right now; I should surprise him with tickets. Oh he'll just love it! She rushed to her laptop and began planning a surprise trip to New York.

 

Kagome discovered the show didn't offer tickets but she wasn't finished yet. She called Kim who seemed to always have the right connections. And sure enough in a week's time she held tickets for the closed taping of show. She bided her time and waited for the perfect moment.

Saturday they were spending the day in the Isle of Palms and stopped for dinner at The One-Eyed Parrott. Their table had a spectacular view of the ocean and the fresh salty breezes added to the ambiance. Kagome ordered a mimosa and sat back in her chair to enjoy the view; of the ocean and her new husband.

 

Inuyasha was grappling through the menu before giving up and ordering a round of steamed oysters. He glanced up from the menu and noticed her gazing at him.

 

“Whatcha thinking about Kagome?”

 

She smiled smugly. “You of course.”

 

He laughed low and raised an eyebrow. “It's a good thing we put off getting together until after we found the Shikon no Tama. You are insatiable; we never would've gotten around to all the shard pieces.”

 

“Yeah because that was mutual decision on both our parts,” she retorted her voice filled with light sarcasm.

 

Inuyasha smiled showing off a mouthful of white straight human teeth. Kagome made a mental note to remind him of his upcoming dental appointment. Of course after last time she'd been forced to change dentists. He's all human but still hanyou at heart.

She returned his smile and reached into her purse. She pulled out the envelope that held the plane tickets and pushed it across the table. Inuyasha gave the envelope a quick glance.

 

“I need you to look at these. It's important.”

 

“What is it?” He was suspicious.

 

“It's from the new dentist. They want you to fill out this form before we go in next month.”

 

“The dentist again?” He frowned and raised his voice. “But I was just there six months ago!”

 

She sighed dramatically. “Yes but we go more than once a lifetime. Usually twice a year.”

 

Inuyasha groaned.

 

“Remember what I told you last time? If you don't go and your teeth turn rotten I am not kissing you and sex is totally out of the question.”

 

Inuyasha, who always valued sex over minor discomfort, reached for the envelope and pulled it open. Two plane tickets slipped out and dropped onto the table top. He examined the tickets.

 

“These are plane tickets? Kagome where in the hell is this new dentist?” He read the small type. “New York City?”

 

She laughed unable to contain her mirth. “Silly it's a surprise. I got you tickets to a private taping of your show. We're going next week.”

 

His jaw dropped. “Iron Chef America?”

 

“Yes, the very same.”

 

His eyes shown with the same joy he used to show over his cups of Ramen noodles. “Will Alton be there?”

 

“Yes. He is the host.”

 

“Think he'd sign my `Good Eats' apron?”

 

“He seems like a nice guy, I'm sure he would.”

 

Inuyasha pulled Kagome across the table and kissed her full on the lips. They were still kissing with great enthusiasm when the waiter appeared with the mimosa and cleared his throat. Inuyasha was so happy he didn't mind so much when Kagome told him she hadn't been kidding about the dentist.
