Dr. Do-Youkai

Disclaimer: Not mine, so no sue, kay?

Well, another idea popped up in my head. It's supposed to be sort of like Dr. Dolittle, but just the idea, not the plot. I don't remember what the original plot was about, so this story should be different from the movie. Well, tell me how you guys like my new story! Thanks!

Ch. 1

Higurashi, Kagome sat at her desk in her small little office and sighed wistfully. She clasped her hands behind her head and leaned against her chair, only two of the legs supporting her as she teetered dangerously on the simple wooden chair.

Outside her window, she watched small children play in a nearby playground. They skipped joyfully and their childish tittering penetrated the glass of the tall office building. She couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Ever since childhood, she had known nothing but the bland walls that surrounded her.

She continued to stare out the window, oblivious to the time that slipped past her. They looked so happy…

Without warning, her office door opened with a bang accompanied by an eager voice, "Kagome!"

Kagome gave a startled yelp and fell from her chair to crash painfully to the floor. She gave a small moan and opened her eyes. The sight of one of her friends and fellow co-worker swam into view.

"Rin?"

"Yup!" Rin was smiling idiotically, unaware of the tangle of limbs and chair before her, "Guess what? Guess what?" She was hopping with suppressed excitement.

"Giant robots are going to take over the universe," Kagome rolled her eyes sarcastically, "What?"

"The boss is going to let you send in the Application!"

"What?" Kagome snapped quickly.

"You know! The Application for the you-know-what!" She whispered secretly as if it were forbidden information. She flashed her a bright smile, dimples denting her rosy cheeks.

Kagome leapt up immediately, nearly tripping again in the process, "Oh my god, tell me you're not joking!" She squealed excitedly.

"No way! He's actually going to let you! If your Application is successful anyway."

"Well, it's about time! I've been working at this stupid company for 14 years!" She cried indignantly, though playfully. Rin giggled and grabbed at her friend's hands.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Start writing your Application! The sooner you get it done the sooner you can get a you-know-what!"
Kagome smiled mischievously and fished through one of her drawers. She pulled out a piece of paper and waved it in front of Rin's face, "Already got it done! I just need to make a few minor changes perhaps, and add a few things. I made this years ago, you know." She grinned and pulled out a pen from her jar of writing utensils.

"Good luck, Kagome! I hope you get one!" Rin said, "My five minute break is over, I have to get back to my you-know-what," she waved and exited the office.

Kagome smiled after her. It was true that she had been at the company of Shikon for 14 years, but she hadn't been actually working for it the entire time. The company of Shikon was a business that used youkai, demons, as experiment subjects to find cures for humans. Youkai had better healing powers than humans, but at the same time, they functioned similarly. They also had the inability to talk. Hundreds of attempts had been made to communicate with them, but they had all failed miserably. Youkai were the perfect lab guinea pigs.

When Kagome had been five years old, a Fugitive youkai had attacked her. It had killed her family, but she had survived by some strange twist of fate. Every since then, she had been drawn into the company. Shikon was the only company that experimented on youkai and the only company that knew where and how to capture them from the wild. The public didn't and wasn't supposed to know they were dangerous. If that information had gotten to the government, the company would be shut down for sure. So she was taken in and taken care of by none other than Rin Hamasaki. The woman was at the age of 13 at the time. Still youthful and innocent. She hadn't changed much over the years, but Shikon had changed her still nonetheless. Her enthusiastic spark only appeared occasionally and she became more mature contrary to what she had just shown.

Kagome also made friends with another girl, but one that was her age. Her name was Sango Taijiya, another girl whose family was attacked by a Fugitive. Fugitives were dangerous. Once they broke out of the lab, they had the will and power to do just about anything. The security increased each year due to the number of Fugitives that broke loose.

Kagome sighed at put down her pen. She proofread her Application and nodded with satisfaction. An Application was like a resume; it let the boss of the company know whether or not the employee was ready to own their own youkai. Kagome had been working on finding possible medications for dangerous diseases for eight years. She had showed wonderful brilliance at a remarkably young age.

Within minutes, she had her Application sent to the boss.

Now all she had to do was wait…

"Kagome," someone called to her, "Kagome!"

Kagome's head shot up from her desk. She had been sleeping. "Huh? What? W-what time is it?" She vision blurred and focused. She looked up.

"Oh, hi, Sango! What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" She smiled, holding up an envelope.

Kagome gasped, "Is that what I think it is?" She asked, her voice trembling.

"Yes is it, if you're thinking this is the results to…" Sango paused for dramatic effect, "… the Wine Tasting Club!"

Kagome lifted an eyebrow in confusion and wrinkled her nose, "What?"

Sango laughed, "Just kidding! It's the results to your Application! The boss told me to send it to you-" Sango cut herself off when Kagome nearly dove on her. The envelope was snatched out of her hand and Kagome proceeded to tear off the covering. Her hands shook as she prepared to open the folded note.

"'Hello, Mrs. Higurashi, we have received and accepted your Application, congratulation you will be receiving a youkai!" She shrieked the last part of the notice happily. "Please come to the main office ASAP!' Oh my god, Sango! I'm actually getting a youkai! My hard work finally paid off!" She gave another excited shriek and ran out of the office, leaving a smiling Sango behind.

That girl sure is crazy, She thought in amusement.

Kagome stood in the ascending elevator nervously, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Although she had been in the company for fourteen years, she had never once seen a youkai before. She was anxious in actually meeting one. How would it act? Would it be mean or nice? What will it look like? The questions continued to swirl around in her mind, until the quiet *bing* of the elevator shook her out of her thoughts.

She walked to her boss's office and knocked tentatively on the door.

"Come in," A cold voice drawled.

She opened the door to see a young man with wavy black hair sitting comfortably in a chair at the end of the large and excessively decorated room. His face was pale, contrasting sharply to his midnight black face and his eyes held absolutely no warmth at all. The man creeped her out to no end, in other words.

She bowed out of nervous habit, "Hello, Naraku, it's nice to see you again," Ew, see him? PLEASE! She thought, but squashed it brutally out of her mind, "I got your notice from Sango."
The ends of his mouth quirked up in a smile, but it never reached his eyes. They remained as cold as ever. "Ah, yes," he replied, "Unfortunately, we are short of youkai this year-"

Kagome's heart sunk.

"But we do have a special case for you. It is a hanyou, a half-demon if you will. With your expertise and knowledge, I'm sure you can handle it. It's name is Inuyasha. I wish you the best of luck." He stood up and walked to a door beside him.

Slowly, he pulled it open.

Kagome felt as if a flash of bright light was emitted from the open door. It was purely her imagination of course…

She held her breath as someone walked out.
