Summary Sesshoumaru tries to cook dinner


Kagome had given him specific instructions. Since he was unemployed, he could cook dinner. When he complained that he had never cooked before she left detailed instructions. All he had to do was cook rice and heat the oden in the microwave. What could be simpler?

She even went so after as to explain how to cook the rice. The oden was in a metal bowl in the refrigerator. All he had to do was put it in microwave safe container and put into the microwave. Surely, even he could not screw that up

He waved goodbye assuring her that she would have a nice home cooked meal when she returned. Little did she suspect what awaited her on her return. He slept in that first day. After the previous day, he was glad to stay in bed.

When he awoke, it was nearly five o’clock. Kagome would be home soon.He put the water on to boil and went into his den to watch his favorite sports show. The next thing he knew, the smoke alarm was going off as smoke rolled out of the kitchen.

Fire was pouring out of the pan. Confusion reigned. The pan contained only water. How could water burn? Luckily he remembered where the fire extinguisher was. The fire was quickly doused, but he was left with a burned pot

Disposing of the pot, he set the pot with the oden in the microwave and pressed the number Kagome indicated.  To his surprise, there was a loud bang and house went dark. Searching the basement, he found the fuse box.

Unfortunately for him, the microwave refused to function. He was left with cold oden which he knew that Kagome would not tolerate. Not one to panic he calmly called the delivery place whose telephone number he had regularly called at work.

When Kagome arrived, she found the rice and oden arrayed on the table, but she was not fooled. The delivery driver was pulling out of the driveway as she was pulling in.The house was filled with smoke. Later she would discover that the microwave was completely burned out.

When pressed for details Sesshoumaru merely shrugged his shoulders. She should have known better. She had thought that any idiot could boil water. She obviously had overestimated Sesshoumaru’s skills in the kitchen.  Until she made idiot proof receipes, they would be eating take out.
