Another Inu to Love

By: Inu-koi's Life Mate

Summery: Kagome left Inuyasha, and a new Inu-hanyou appears. Will love bloom? Will she help him find the rest of the shards? Only time will tell!

Inuyasha was moping in a tree in the center of Kaede's village. Miroku and Shippo were sitting with her by the fire pit in her hut.
"Miroku, do ye know the reason for Inuyasha's depression?"
"Yes, Lady Kaede. Kagome has given up searching for the shards and has moved in with Sesshomaru. She doesn't want Inuyasha around her anymore."
"Aye, that explains it. I wondered why he no longer had his beads."
"Do you think he needs a special someone to help him get over Kagome?"
"Aye, it may help." Just then, there was a knock at the dooo and a Silver haired Inu-hanyou female entered the hut.
"Lady Kaede?" said the new arrival.
"Aye child. How may I help ye?"
"I'm searching for the one called Inuyasha. Where can I find him?"
"I don't know, child. What is your name?"
"Kaori Higarashi, Kagome's older 1/2 sister, on her father's side. My mother was the demon. She was slain a month ago."
"Kaori, ye must be tired. Take a dip in the hot springs. When Inuyasha shows up, I will send him to ye."
"I will, Lady Kaede. Thanks. My sister told me about that hentai houshi, keep him away from me please."
"Aye. I will. Have a good time."
"Thank you, Lady Kaede. I will." Kaori then headed for the hot springs. When she got there, the hanyou girl stripped off her clothes and slipped into the hot spring, very grateful for the feeling of the hot water. Not 5 minutes later, Inuyasha stalked into Kaede's hut.
"Oh, Inuyasha."
"What, you old hag?!"
"Inuyasha, just because you are in a foul mood, doesn't give you the right to talk to Kaede like that." Miroku knew his friend could be rude, but that was going a bit too far.
"A female Inu-hanyou came looking for ye. Her name's Kaori Higarashi, Kagome's elder 1/2 sister."
"What would a Higarashi want with me?" 'Great, that's all I need, another bitch like Kagome.'
"Her mother was slain a month ago."
"Her mother was a demon?"
"Aye."
"Where is Kaori?"
"In the hot springs."
"I could use a dip too." Meanwhile, at the springs, Kaori was trying desperately to fend off a huge snake demon.
"Inuyasha! Help!!!!!" She cried.
"That was Kaori. Save her, child," Kaede said to Inuyasha.
"Right!" He ran to the springs. He yelled at the snake demon, trying to distract it.
"Hey ugly! Don't eat her! Come for something more challenging!"
"Like what, worthless-s-s half-breed?"
"Like me! Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!!" Inuyasha screamed, slashing through it. By some miracle, not a single drop of the snake demon's acidic blood fell in the hot springs.
"You're Kaori, right?"
"Yes."
"I'm Inuyasha. Mind if I use the other spring?"
"No. Go ahead."
"Thanks."
