They sat at the kitchen island. Half an hour passed in awkward silence.
“Is there a problem?” Thick eyebrows twitched.
Sho glanced away. “I don’t want it.”
He opened his mouth but quickly closed it. Inuyasha mentally counted to three. The bones on his own plate were stripped of their meat. The marrow sucked clean from all of their ridges. He had even licked the sauce from the plate clean. However, his nephew refused to touch anything. He didn’t even give it a taste. “Is there a reason why you won’t even try it?”
“I don’t eat pork.”
Inuyasha gnashed his teeth. “Then why the fuck did you ask for it in the first place?”
“Because I didn’t.”
“Actually, you did. Right after you woke from your coma you said you were hungry for some ribs.”
“Pft. I don’t remember any of that.” His eyes widened. “Wait, did you say? When in the world did I fall in a coma?”
Inuyasha cringed. “It’s kinda a long story.”
“Well spit it out! I need to know.”
He sighed and brought his hands closed together. “Those beets you ate were dem-ifferent. I mean exotic! Your body couldn’t handle it so it shut itself down. And just like that you were out or like a while.”
“And how long is awhile?”
He nibbled his thumb. “Bout three or four days.”
“What!?” Sho rose from his chair. “Was I sent to the urgent care or something?”
“Or something,” Inuyasha admitted. “Jay checked you out and said you were fine. For the most part anyway.”
“And who the hell is Jay?”
“Our family’s personal attorney.”
“Personal what? Wait! You mean the guy who took my mom out? He played doctor without my consent?”
“Uh, sure. Pretty much.”
Sho found his phone in his pocket and dialed.
“Oi, what’re you doing?”
“Calling my mom. No way in hell she’d be cool with this-hey!”
Inuyasha snatched the device from him. “Sorry, but I can’t let you do that.” He gripped it till it cracked.
Sho gasped as tiny metal pieces fell. “What the hell did you just do to my phone!?”
Inuyasha wiped his hands clean. “There’s something more important we need to discuss.”
“What’s there to talk about? You’re a monster! Did you not just see how you crumbled Luna!?”
“Well consider it payback for ruining Saturday slashes. Because of you I had to get rid of my beets!”
