Inuyasha's New Addiction

Chapter One.

“Inuyasha?” Kagome snapped her fingers in front of his face.

“Where's the ramen?”

“Sorry, they were sold out. I couldn't get any.” she said apologetically. Inuyasha looked horrified.

“Sold out?” he croaked. She nodded. “I need ramen...”

“Aw, come on. You can live without it for a few weeks, right?” she pouted.

“You don't get it. If I don't get ramen, I'll get withdrawal symptoms! I'm a ramen ADDICT!” Inuyasha insisted. “Go to the store-place and beg if you have to! PLEASE, I'M BEGGING! I need ramen.”

“Sorry. No-can-do.”

One Week Later...

“Kagome, I'm scared. Inuyasha is creeping me out!” Shippo whined, cuddling into the safety of his surrogate mother's arms.

“Well, he does have a point.” Miroku stated.

“Does he HAVE to twitch like that?” Sango hid behind our favorite lecherous monk.

“Ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen...” Inuyasha was singing dementedly to himself. He was in the corner of Kaede's hut, with his legs drawn up to his chest. His eyes were glazed over, and he twitched repeatedly.

The first stage he went through was being irritable. He'd lose it over just about ANYTHING. (Thank God Koga didn't decide to pay a visit.)

The second stage was being pitiful. He followed Kagome around and was constantly begging her, whining and whimpering like a puppy for his precious ramen.

Now, it was the third stage: Dementia. I mean, Inuyasha and singing are two words that don't belong in the same sentence! Creepy. Now Kagome was terrified for her favorite half demon's sanity.

“I've got it!” Kagome cried, getting to her feet. Inuyasha's eyes followed her every move.

“What? A solution?” Miroku instantly perked up.

“We'll find something else for him to get addicted to! Something he can get easily here in this era!” Kagome grinned. Was she smart or what?

“Brilliant idea!” Sango cheered! “Let's go!”

Three Days Later...

“No luck. Why don't we call it a day?” Miroku sighed. They went back to the hut, and it was so obvious nothing was working.

Inuyasha whimpered.

“I should never have let him try ramen...” Kagome muttered. “THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!!” she wailed. Inuyasha looked up at her, only to see tears. She's crying... Because of me... Not again... he thought with a sad whimper resembling her name.

“Kagome... Don't cry...” he whined.

“I know! I'll go back and see if they've stocked up again!” she grinned, hugging him. “Bye Inuyasha!” she said, and left him with a light kiss on the cheek. His face now matched his robe of the fire rat perfectly.

At the store...

“Hi Kagome!” Hojo called.

“Uh... Hiya, Hojo. Look, I'm in a hurry –” he cut her off.

“I know, you're really busy, despite your illnesses... but I simply wanted to ask you whether you're free to go on a date with me this Saturday?” he asked. NOT ANOTHER HELL DATE!

“...” was Kagome's reply. Thankfully, she was saved by Inuyasha.

“KAGOME! I FOUND A NEW ADDICTION!!” he yelled, running towards her, and the really unlucky Hojo. Kagome simply gave Inuyasha a Thank-you-my-savior look, which did not go unnoticed by his sharp golden gaze. He realized that Hojo was trying to be with his Kagome! Inuyasha growled VERY audibly.

“So you don't need ramen anymore?” she asked innocently.

“Nuh-uh. Wanna know what my new addiction is? Ramen is shit in comparison!” Inuyasha grinned, silently hoping she wouldn't sit him into an early grave for this. “Can I show you?”

“Excuse me. Kagome and I were in the middle of a conversation, you weirdo. Go smoke pot or something.” Hojo glared.

“Yeah. You were asking my Kagome to be –”

“Your Kagome? I don't see your name on her, whatever it is.” Hojo narrowed his eyes, grabbing Kagome's arm. She wrenched it away.

“You jerk! Inuyasha is NOT a weirdo! And by the way, yes, you can show me what you're addicted to.” Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and gave Hojo an ICY look.

“This.” Inuyasha stated, pulling Kagome to him by her waist and pressing his lips to hers. At first she was shocked, but snapped out of it pretty fast and kissed him back.

Finally, she thought as his tongue licked her lips, asking for entry. Which, of course, she granted.

Curse the need for that thing called air.

“FINE! I GET IT! I'M LEAVING!!” Hojo yelled jealously as the lovebirds pulled away from each other to breathe, still holding each other as he ran off.

“Better than ramen?” Kagome breathed.

“Infinitely.”

A/N: Like it? Hate it? Let me know! I'm thinking of making this a twoshot, with a lemon! If I get positive feedback on the idea, I'll do it! But... Forest or Kagome's room?
