            Kagome smiled as she walked up to her boyfriend, placing a plate in front of him. He looked down at it, frowning minutely.

            “This is admittedly not what I had in mind when you asked me over, little one.”

            “What?” she asked, cocking her head. “What did you have in mind?”

            Sesshomaru shook his head, dismissing the topic.

            Kagome shrugged. “Well, try it!” she commanded, thrusting a pair of chopsticks forward.

            He took them from her hand and picked up a chunk of something that looked like meat. He sniffed it delicately and pulled away, staring at Kagome.

            “Is this edible?” he inquired, raising his eyebrow.

            Kagome’s eye twitched briefly before she regained control of her facial muscles. “Of course it’s edible,” she said, smiling tightly.

            “No doubt you believe it is.”

            “What’s that supposed to mean?” Kagome asked, absolutely incensed.

            “Merely that your culinary skills lie more in baking that cooking,” Sesshomaru said nonchalantly, still staring at the chunk he had picked up.

            Kagome clenched her fists. “That’s not the only course I’m taking, Sesshomaru.”

            “But it is the only course you excel at,” Sesshomaru replied, acting as if he hadn’t just insulted his girlfriend’s ability to cook actual meals.

            Kagome trembled with rage. “Well if you think I can’t cook, why do you eat the food I make?”

            “You are sweeter.”

            “So you only eat my food because I’m sweet to you when you do?” Kagome yelled.

            “Yes,” Sesshomaru stated simply, before popping the chunk into his mouth.

I’m hiding my face in shame because Sesshomaru is an idiot.

An honest idiot, but an idiot all the same.
