It is Sesshomaru! After all these years….
 
That Fucker! I owe him for sealing me into the Tetsusaiga for nearly 500 years!
 
Kagome saw Inuyasha's eyes widen and heard him grind his teeth. She turned to see what he was staring at. Sesshomaru? A Food Network Executive? She had no idea what to do but sensed the situation was deteriorating quickly.
 
“Sesshomaru.” Inuyasha spat the name.
 
Sesshomaru leaned forward and studied his face.
 
“Inuyasha? You're here and still with that stupid human girl.” He acted as though he'd only just seen his half brother yesterday not 500 years ago. His tone was that of a man mentioning to the waiter he needed another fork. This only served to further Inuyasha's fury.
 
“You will pay for what you did.” He jabbed a harmless human finger at his yokai brother.
 
Sesshomaru gave a bored smile. “Brother you should thank me. With out Jaken's assistance you wouldn't be here now with your bitch.”
 
Kagome saw Inuyasha's back stiffen and put her hand on his shoulder. She lifted her lips to his ear.
 
“Babe, it's not worth it. Please…” she pleaded. “Let's just walk away.”
 
Sesshomaru's yokai ears picked up her words and he threw them back at Inuyasha. “Yes you human refuse, just walk away. There is nothing for you here.”
 
Inuyasha was a grown man but he still wasn't able to walk away from a fight. “No. Let's do this.”
 
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. “No, it's not worth my time. You were barely a challenge when you were a half-breed, now you're just boring.”
 
Inuyasha look around, searching for anything he use against Sesshomaru. His eyes lit on Kitchen Stadium. He grinned.
 
“Baka! I challenge you to a cook off here in Kitchen Stadium.”
 
Sesshomaru lifted a brow and gave him a strange look. “What?”
 
Kagome choked. He has lost his mind. What's he going to make? Ramen noodles?
 
Sesshomaru paused in thought. He dropped his cell phone on the table. “I will grant this ridiculous request of yours.” He stood up. “Marty! Come here.”
 
Marty appeared by his side. “There is a change in today's battle.”
 
Marty pulled out a notepad. “Okay, what is it?”
 
“Tell Mr. Mario Batali his services won't be needed today.”
 
Marty's jaw began to twitch. “What? Who's replacing him?”
 
“I am.”
 
“What! This is highly unusual. What about today's challenger?”
 
“Send him home. Inuyasha here is taking his place.”
 
Marty was speechless.
Sesshomaru turned to leave. “And Marty, find a new secret ingredient. I don't want to be accused of foul play.” Then he walked to the back kitchen and out of sight.
 
Marty looked like he wanted to cry. “Doesn't he know it's only fifteen minutes until filming starts? And what the hell am I going to do with 30 pounds of fresh mackerel?” He waived his arms in the air and stormed off.
 
 
Inuyasha turned to Kagome. “You're on my team.”
 
She crossed her arms. “No I'm not. I asked you not to do this and you ignored me.”
 
He bent down and wrapped her in his arms. “Kagome please, you know how much this means to me.” His lips found her ear lobe and the battle was won. She was officially mush.
 
“Okay. But what are we going to cook?”
 
“I dunno. But I have seen every episode of this show so I'm sure we'll come up with something.”
 
“Inuyasha, this is only the second season. There are only what, ten shows so far?”
 
“You are a wonderful cook, we'll think of something.” Kagome blinked, this was the first time he'd ever said that. He is so desperate.
 
 
 
Marty came rushing back to them with white chef's hats and matching blue outfits. Of course Sesshomaru would wear all white. It was his trademark.
 
“Put these on and get behind your kitchen counters.
 
“Now, now, now! Move people.” He tossed the clothes to them and ran to Alton with a new set of notes.
 
Once she was in the outfit, Kagome felt ridiculous. Inuyasha was stoked. This was his dream come true. His favorite show and a fight with Sesshomaru all rolled into one. Kagome was worried she'd get stage fright and accidentally chop off a finger. It's a pity we are going to lose!
 
The cameras clicked on just as Sesshomaru strolled into his kitchen.
