The Tables Have Turned

Chapter 3: Hanyou's and cooking do NOT mix!

Poor Kagome was miserable, she had been tossing and turning in her sleep for the past ten minutes, it was night time now since Inuyasha arrived at the Higurashi Shrine, and the past few hours he had been helping Kagome, getting her the bottle of medicine, bringing her water and other things she needed. She had been waking up and falling asleep, just to wake up again from a nightmare caused by her illness, and Inuyasha was there to comfort her, Inuyasha was a little upset that he couldn't do anything or find anything to kill the annoying virus hurting her, she had said that there was no cure for this and that it went away on its own, despite that he still wished he could do something to make it go away faster, he hated seeing her sick.

Inuyasha heard a soft noise from the bed he was sitting next to, thinking Kagome had had another nightmare he cracked open an eye and looked at her, the sweat on her forehead was a sign of a fever; Inuyasha stood up and brushed a few strands of hair from her face, Kagome whimpered in her sleep and curled into a ball holding her stomach, Inuyasha curled next to her and moved her hands from her stomach, "Kagome, balling up like that is going to make it worst" Inuyasha said nuzzling her cheek.

Kagome balled up again, Inuyasha layed down next to her and moved her hands away for the second time, he wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck, Kagome calmed down a little, Inuyasha snuggled next to her and rubbed her stomach as if to try and make some of her pain go away, Kagome sighed and turned in her sleep snuggling close to him burying her face into his chest, Inuyasha blushed bright crimson to the roots of his hair, before holding her tighter against him laying his head on hers, his cheek on her hair, in a few minutes he was asleep.

-The Next Morning-

Kagome woke up, she felt warm, not because of her newly acquired fever but from what ever was wrapped around her, she opened her eyes and saw sliver and white, she blinked before recognizing Inuyasha's hair, glowing bright from the sun outside, Kagome blushed when she fully woke up and found her and Inuyasha tangled together, Inuyasha was laying on his side his arms outstretched wear he held Kagome before she had sat up, his hair was fanned out behind him, his breathing was deep and even, his legs were tangled in the comforter, and some how the bed sheets became wrapped around his waist like a belt.

Kagome couldn't help but giggle at his sleeping form, Inuyasha was such an active sleeper, it was a miracle in itself that he didn't fall out of the trees he sleeps in every night back in Feudal Japan, Inuyasha stirred a little, stretching in his sleep before curling into a tight ball pulling the comforter and remaining sheets closer to him and burying his face in her pillow, Kagome put her hand to her mouth to stop the bubbles of laughter from escaping from her mouth, were was her camera? This moment was to cute not to take a picture of, she reached over and ran her fingers thought his soft hair, she brushed his bangs from his face and brushed her fingers over his cheek, Inuyasha took that moment to wake up.

Kagome blushed a little, Inuyasha blinked before stretched and scratching his head, he then noticed Kagome who was sitting at the end of her bed, "Morning Inuyasha" Kagome said, Inuyasha blushed a little "Morning", "Ummm…Inuyasha?" Kagome called, Inuyasha looked up, "Yah?" he asked, "Why umm…why were you sleeping in my bed?" Kagome asked, not that she mined, for crying out loud she had been sleeping in the boys lap for the past month, Inuyasha blushed deeply, "You were having a nightmare…I think you were having a nightmare, you were tossing and turning…so I…" Inuyasha couldn't finish his sentence, he blushed redder the his fire rat haroi.

Kagome smiled and hugged him, "Thank you" she said running her hand thought his hair, Inuyasha hugged her back before speaking again, "Are you feeling better?" he asked, "Yes, my stomach isn't hurting as bad as it was the other day, its this fever now that's being a pain" Kagome said pouting, Inuyasha chuckled, it amazed him how a girl her age could look like a little child, and that was one of the many things he loved about the miko girl of the future, so innocent and pure.

"I can go get you an ice bag" Inuyasha suggested, Kagome shook her head, "No that's ok, its not that bad" Kagome said smiling up at him making him melt at her gaze, "I think I'll try to eat something" Kagome said getting up, Inuyasha turned his head, "Maybe you should eat something light, just to be safe, I don't like it when you throw up" Inuyasha said, "I don't like it either" Kagome said making a face at the unpleasant memory, "And the smell is awful to, it smells like acid" he said screwing his nose and following Kagome out the door, Kagome held in a giggle, she always found it cute how he complained about bad smells.

She and Inuyasha walked into the kitchen, "I'll do it, you can wait in the living room" Inuyasha said wanting to help, "Do you know how to make soup?" Kagome asked, she never really saw him cook before and was a little worried about the mess that might soon be apart of the kitchen, "Feh, I've seen you make ramen before, how different can soup be from ramen?" Inuyasha asked, Kagome nodded and kissed him on the cheek before going into the living room and turning on the TV, Inuyasha then went over to the cabinets to get the soup.

Kagome was watching her favorite Anime when the new phone next to her rang, after the past month the Higurashi family had gotten two new phones, one up stairs in the hall and the one ringing right now, mainly because the person on the other line hung up before anyone got to it in time, Kagome reached over and answered the phone, "Hello?" she said into the phone, "Kagome? Kagome is that you?" came her mother's voice, "Mama!" Kagome said delighted, "Kagome it is you, what are you still doing home? I thought you were going thought the well" she said, she sounded a little worried.

"I got sick and had to stay home" Kagome said, "Oh Kagome I'm so sorry! If I had known you were going to get sick I would have canceled our trip" Ms. Higurashi said sounding guilty, "Mama its ok really, Inuyasha is here" Kagome said as she heard a yell from the kitchen, "Um…hold on a second mom" Kagome said, she turned her head to the kitchen, "Inuyasha! Inuyasha is everything ok in there?" Kagome called, "Uh…yah everything is fine, don't worry about me!" Inuyasha called back, "Ok, just call if you need help" Kagome called, and went back to her phone conversation thinking about the mess she might have to clean up.

-Back in the Kitchen-

"Damn that hurt!" Inuyasha cursed holding his burned hand, so far cooking was not going very well, the disasters that have happened so far was the cabinet being stuck so Inuyasha had to yank it open, being careful not to bust the thing off the wall and smacked himself in the face, then finding the can of chicken noodle soup which was in the very back of the cabinet, he had tried to hold all the other things in front of the can but failed and dropped half of what he was holding, after he had gotten the can, picked up all the other stuff on the floor and found the pot, he went to turn the stove on and he had not been paying attention so he burned his hand.

After cursing the 'damn evil fire breathing metal thing' some more he put the stove flame on, this time watching what he was doing, he filled the pot with water which resulted in him turning the faucet a little to far and spraying him and the area around the sink with water, he was near the end of his rope by now and swore that who ever invented these cooking tools should be gutted very slowly, he got the mop out of the near by closet and mopped up the water, then filled the pot with water and put it on the stove to boil, when it finally started to boil he carefully opened the can of soup with his claws, after the mishaps with the other cooking things he didn't want another disaster happening with the thing Kagome called a can opener.

He poured the soup in the pot and let it cook for the time that it was suppose to cook for, Kagome had taught him how to tell time thought the clocks, which was what he was staring at while sitting at the table, he wanted to go into the living room to sit with Kagome, but after all the bad luck he had, had so far with making the soup, he wasn't about to turn his back and then have something like the soup over heating and splattering all over the walls happen, he looked back at the clock, "It should be done by now" Inuyasha said looking at the directions on the can.

He walked over to the stove and turned it off then took the pot off the stove with the mittens he had seen Kagome's mother use for hot things, he didn't want to burn his hand again and spill the soup all over the floor, he placed it down on the counter and went to get a bowl from the shelf, he poured the soup into the bowl and placed the pot in the sink for later cleaning, Inuyasha held the bowl of soup in triumph, "Hah! I guess my luck it finally getting better today!" Inuyasha said smirking and walking to the door.

Maybe he had jinxed it by saying that, or Kami just felt like bringing the Hanyou's temper to a desirously high level, or maybe it was Inuyasha's smug attitude right then that annoyed The Fates, what ever made what happened next Inuyasha would have been sure to kill what ever it was, because right then the Higurashi's family cat Buyo had taken that moment to step right in front of Inuyasha making the dog demon step on his back, that was when all out hell broke lose.

Buyo screamed in surprised and sunk his claws into Inuyasha's bare ankle, that caused Inuyasha to yell out every curse he had learned in his life while grabbing his bleeding ankle, his other hand had thrown the bowl of soup in the air, Inuyasha was jumping around holding his foot and screaming curses at Buyo the 'annoying hell cat' who was busy running for his dear life out the door of the kitchen, finally to make the cooking disaster of the century complete, Inuyasha slipped on some water he had missed to mop up and fell on the floor hard, that was when the soup bowl fell on his head soaking his hair with soup and getting noodles in his ears.

Kagome took this time to run in with a fussing Buyo in her arms, the scene before her was Inuyasha on the floor with a bowl on his head, broth soaking his hair, noodles covering his doggy ears and one of his hands red from an obvious burn from the stove, Kagome then remembered her mother still on the phone that was in her hand, he put it back to her ear, "Mama I'm going to have to call you back" she said and pressed the button to turn it off, Kagome was glad that the new phones they had gotten were cables, she then walked over to Inuyasha who was still swearing up a storm.

"Inuyasha?" she called kneeling down lifting the bowl so se could see his eyes, "Inuyasha are you ok?" Kagome said biting back the giggles that were trying to escape her at the site of Inuyasha's face fanned by noodles, "I'm fine, but the soup isn't…" Inuyasha said pilling a noodle from his hair, Kagome giggled, "Forget the soup, you go take a bath your covered in soup, I'll make some for both of us" Kagome said trying to pull out more noodles from his silver hair, "Ok, sorry I couldn't make you the soup" he said getting up off the floor, Kagome smiled and kissed him, "Just go get cleaned up you silly puppy" Kagome said pushing him out the door, Kagome sighed, <Inuyasha tries so hard to make me feel better when I'm sick…he really is a sweet guy> Kagome thought smiling and went to cook the soup.
