Author's notes: X3! Ummm... Yea o.0;
Response to meddmaLyd: Yes XD! I'm positive I'm 13, lol, and thanks! -
Disclaimer: I really don't think these are necessary, I mean, everyone KNOWS whom Inuyasha belongs to, and it would take a COMPLETE idiot to think that it was owned by JUST a fan-fic author. Which is why, I am NOT JUST a fan-fic author, I also happen to own Inuy-
Hidoi: Umm... Saiko?
Saiko: What?! ...AHEM ANYways, I also happen to own Inuya-
Hidoi: SAIKO!
Saiko: WHAT?!
Hidoi: Some lawyers, and people in suits and sunglasses are here to see you... They said something about the attempted thief of... Inuyasha or something...
Saiko: o.o; Which is why I was SAYING -Cough- That I DON'T own Inuyasha! ;;; Ehehehehe...
Cat's Back
Sango blinked, watching the cat, eyes wide with shock. Where did it come from?! And how did it know I was here?!
He soda remained on the ground, it's contents continuing to leak out of the plastic top, which amazingly, hadn't fallen off the cup when she dropped it. The soda had now become a watery puddle, slowly seeping towards her shoe.
Wait! Wait! 'How did it know I was here?' It's a cat! It's not like it's following me, or anything! Oh, but it was following her. She knew. After her walk home, and now, it was following her.
Outside the window, the cat's mouth opened. It seemed to be meowing... Calling her even. Get a grip Sango! Cats can't talk!
"Sango?"
Came the worried, and confused tone of Kagome's voice. Sango hadn't realized it, but she had become completely paralyzed since she saw the cat. She quickly snapped out of it, and moved to face Kagome, stepping in her soda as she turned, but not noticing anyways.
"Huh?"
She said in question, blinking, widening her eyes and shaking her head quickly to show she had returned to a normal state of thought.
"Something wrong?"
Kagome asked, cocking her head.
"You were staring out the windo-"
Kagome paused as her eyes reached the cat's figure sitting at the window.
"IT'S SO CUTE!"
She squealed, heading towards the door.
"Wait, Kagome! STOP!"
Came the choked cry of Sango. Ah, it was no use; Kagome was already beginning to open the door.
Sango scrambled towards some napkins, quickly wiped up the mess of soda on the floor, removed the lid of the cup, stuffed the napkins inside, and then hurriedly threw it away. She then rushed after her friend.
That left Inuyasha, who watched the two leave, a look of confusion spread across his face. He opened his mouth, change his mind and shut it, before reopening it and speaking.
"Did I miss something?"
-------
Sango thrust open the door, heart beating at an unnaturally fast rate as she turned to see where her friend was. That stupid cat had worked her up into some sort of frenzy. She was just about to yell Kagome's name when she noticed the 15-year old... Right next to her... Petting the cat.
A low, soft purr was erupting from the cat's throat, it's eyes shut as it enjoyed the attention. It then opened it's eyes, and noticing Sango, it moved quickly out of Kagome's reach, and ran towards her, slowly beginning to rub her leg with it's nose.
Sango shrieked.
If she thought her heart was beating fast before, then, now it was unreal. She thought it had even skipped a few beats. Her mouth was dropped open, eyes wide, arms, and leg the animal was not touching shrunk back in fear. Oh my God, Oh my God!!!! Her mind raced, not noticing how stupid she looked.
"...Sango?"
Kagome started, staring at her friend in a confused manor.
"It's a cat, I thought you liked cats..."
Kagome was utterly confused, her eyes shown with misunderstanding.
"I DO!"
Sango yelled, her throat not seeming to produce a noise anything below one.
"I-IT'S J-J-JUST! J-JUST-T-T!"
She was starting to hyperventilate.
"Sango!"
Kagome cried, hurrying over towards her and scooping up the animal, looking at Sango strangely.
"Sango..."
Her friend tried calmly, looking at Sango who was shaking and hyperventilating before her.
"It's just a cat, a harmless, cat."
Kagome said, stroking the cat to prove it. It mewed, before purring slightly, it's tail swishing back and fourth.
Sango had stopped hyperventilating, but was still breathing rather quickly, trying to calm herself down. Cat. Right, it's harmless. Everything was all in your head, COMPLETELY in your head. She managed to slow her breathing to strangled gasps, before placing a hand against her chest, taking a deep breath, and releasing it choppily.
"Right."
She muttered, now finding herself seeming rather stupid in her frightened state.
"Just a cat..."
Her only issue now was that she couldn't stop shaking. Kagome smiled, before holding the cat out; under it's arms, to Sango. She shakily extended a hand, and stroked the cat between its ears, hearing the low rumble of a purr like before. Just. A. Cat. She reminded herself, and then smiled, before saying,
"Sorry... Don't know what came over me..."
She then reached for the cat, now deciding to hold it, stroking it as she let it rest up against her chest, enjoying the low purr emitting form it's throat. Just... a...cat...Sigh. Okay, she was fine; everything was okay. Hey, the cat was pretty sweet too... and cute... Kagome smiled, watching Sango a little suspiciously, but really overlooking her friend's actions only moments before.
With all the commotion, nobody had noticed Inuyasha exit from the pizza place. He watched them curiously, before speaking up.
"What was wrong with Sango? And what's with the cat...?"
Kagome chose to answer the two questions.
"Nothing's wrong with Sango, and we found the cat."
Suddenly a gleam shot through the girl's eyes.
"Hey! We should take it home Sango!"
Sango looked at Kagome, a look of, 'We can't' written all over her face.
"But, Kagome! We already have two cats! And they're already hard enough to keep up with!"
"Ah, don't worry about it! If Buyo is too much trouble, I can always get the money to pay for vet bills and such from my mom, I mean after all, he's basically HER cat... and if worse comes to worse, when can let him live with my mom again..." She then paused, before saying, "And my mom wouldn't care about paying the bills for Kirara either!"
Sango smiled weakly, shaking her head,
"No, I'm fine with Kirara..."
"Then what's the problem?"
Kagome asked, before adding, giving her best puppy dog eyes,
"Pleeeeeaaaase?"
Sango gazed down at the cat, which was peacefully curled up in her grasp.
"Well... Okay."
Sango finally answered, but before Kagome could even utter a 'YES!' Sango pointed out,
"But we have to put up 'Lost Cat' posters and stuff, I mean, it COULD belong to somebody!"
"We wiiiiiilllll!"
Kagome put in, looking at Sango, agitated.
"Okay..."
Sango said, smiling a little again
"YES!"
Kagome squealed, before starting to walk away. She then paused, looking back at Inuyasha and Sango.
"Well come on! We gotta get it home!"
Then she continued on, her right arm extended outwards with her index finger pointing up in an, 'ONWARD' sort of way, moving dangerously fast for someone who had just complained about her heels hurting to run in only an hour or so ago.
Inuyasha stepped forwards, and began to follow after her, his hands in his pockets.
Sango sighed, brushing the cat's silky fur slowly, before saying to it,
"Looks like you're stuck with us..."
She then proceeded to follow the other two... and if she wasn't sure this animal was a cat, she could have sworn it rested it's head atop one of her breasts on purpose....
The cat allowed another one of his smirks. Ah-ha... Phase one down, now time for phase two...
WHO! Another chapter done XD! Heh, as for more AU fan-fics that I've read, Sweet Tooth, by Aamalie was excellent, I recommend it to any M/S fan :D
Heh, I've gotten some ideas for later scenes... Especially a good one about the vet's office, and way, way, way too much ruckus to handle X3!
