Summary Sesshoumaru goes to the grocery store


Kagome was right.  The cupboards were bare, but what was he supposed to do about. The idea of grocery shopping was foreign to him. He had not darkened the doors of a supermarket in years, Yet Kagome was insisting that he do so now.

She had given him a list and given him the car. After dinner and the laundry she really was a trusting soul. Or maybe merely desperate In any event Kagome expected him to bring home the bacon. After his previous fiascos the sooner the better.

He wondered around the store from one end to another looking for the things Kagome had on her list. Eggs he found, but the difference in pricing confused him. Small medium, large extra large, jumbo. It all seemed like a scam to increase prices.

Rice he found in bags and boxes, but somehow he knew that Kagome would not be satisfied with
minute rice. Brown rice, basmati rice, arborio rice. Which kind was he supposed to bring home?
He knew that Kagome would be mad if he failed to bring home the correct variety.

Vegetables were even worse. He had no idea how many onions, peppers eggplants or tomatoes he should bring home.  The second question was how many.  The last question was which particular vegetables he should bring home How did Kagome tell which was the best?

Meat. He had to bring home some meat. The Kobe beef caught his eye. He had always loved that delicacy buying it every time he was out with clients Best to stock up. You couldn’t have too much.

He looked at his watch. Kagome would need to be picked up soon. She would be very angry if he did not complete the shopping when he arrived. He began dumping food into his cart. Sake was a necessary staple.  From his college days he remembered that one could never have too much ramen.

The shopping cart full he headed toward the checkout line. When he reached the front, they pointed out that he was in the wrong line and sent him to another line. He was astonished at the total How could groceries cost so much?

The question of cash or charge took him by surprise. He always used his company charge. Without it he felt naked. He felt worse when he discovered that he was short of cash and had to put most of the groceries back. At least he kept the ramen, sake and Kobe beef Kagome had not given him enough money for anything else.

He arrived at Kagome’s office an hour late.due to the rush hour traffic. She was angry and glared at him all the way home. It was not his fault. Between the grocery store and the traffic he thought he made good time.

Kagome was starving by the time they got home. Hopefully, Sesshoumaru got all the items on their list.  If he did, she could make oden. After her day she deserved it. When she put the groceries away, she realized that Sesshoumaru had not purchased any of the items she needed to make oden. Instead, there was ramen, sake and Kobe beef. Sighing she realized that the only way that she would be eating oden tonight was if she ordered takeout. The sake would come in handy later.  If she was drunk she would forget that Sesshoumaru wasted their grocery money
