@InuNoHanyou Easy peasy! —
— His hand looks suspiciously close to that boiling water. He’d better not burn himself!
She’d be too worried about him to cook!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Finally, a break! Traveling all day gets tiring after a while..
Time to cook for everyone! Hopefully they’ll appreciate the new flavors of ramen she brought from the future.

❛ sango, i promise you we’ll free naraku. i don’t know how yet, but we will. it’s going to be okay. ❜
kagome’s voice is quiet, as if she’s afraid &&

@InuNoHanyou Yep, she’s in a good mood after finding one of the jewel shards! Absolutely any~.
.. Well, as long as it’s something she brought back. No time to make another trip home before dinner!
@InuNoHanyou Ooh, of course. A mention of ‘ninja food’ is sure to get his attention, hm?
Well, which flavor does he want today? She’d be happy to cook for him.
Hearing the strange response. Kagome stops in her tracks, whirling to face him instead.
❛ Sure doesn’t sound like it. What’s up with you? You can tell me, promise. ❜
⠀⠀❝ YEAH. Why wouldn't it?? ❞
Definitely something was off about Inuyasha, he was much more agitated than usual and what was the reason? He wouldn't explain.
What’s that old saying . . ? She can definitely feel someone burning a hole in the back of her head with that strong of a stare!
❛ Everything okay, Inuyasha? ❜

&& the next time the demon goes to strike, a mighty kick aimed their way, kagome’s hands glow a bright pink. the holy energy of a priestess stops the attack in its tracks, turning the demon’s leg to dust.

the rumbling of an upset demon interrupted her declaration, however. finding herself without her bow and arrows, kagome panics for just a moment.

seeing a sharp claw reach her way, kagome twists her body to dodge accordingly, the demon landing only a scratch to her robes.

❛ weren’t you the one that told me i’ve gotten a lot stronger since i first arrived? ❜
she admonishes him but her voice holds no venom — it’s a fond taunt at best. anything’s better than thinking about how hurt he is. she couldn’t bare to lose him, not &&
