Summary: This story is sorta like "Chobits". Its not exactly the same, I twisted and turned it a bit to my own liking. It's the same concept though. Person finds the computer in the trash. Takes the computer home. They get to know each other, and fall in love. See same concept. I just made it my own, so enjoy .
Kagome Higurashi sat on her small couch in her apartment half-mindedly watching the T.V., that was until a bunch of lights started flashing from the screen. A big sign that across it read 'Youkai', with a bunch of beautiful women standing around it.
"Not another one of these commercials." Kagome moaned. "I see these all the time. And I see people out in the street with them all the time. Kami, you just love rubbing it in my face that I can't afford one don't you?!" She yelled at the ceiling.
The phone rang and Kagome glanced at it. She picked it up off the base.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kagome. It's Rin. You wanna go with me and Sango shopping?"
"I guess"
"Okay, see ya in five!" Rin hung up the phone.
-------
Kagome slowly followed her friends into the electronics store. She was just there to look. It was her friends who were there to buy. She slowly walked around, looking at various items. She picked up some type of software and was looking at it when one of her friends called to her. "Kagome!" Rin called from somewhere in the store. "Rin, where are you?" Kagome called sitting her previous momentary interest down and set off to find her friends. "Over here!" Sango called, waving to her. Kagome looked up and what she saw surprised her. Was that a sleeping person in a glass case? As she got closer she noticed the said person had what looked like a wolf tail, pointed elf like ears and paws.
"Oh its one of those Youkai. I see commercials for them all the time." Kagome whispered to herself.
"Oh, I want one of those!" Rin exclaimed happily seemingly appearing beside Kagome. She called a passing sales lady over. "Do you have any males?"
"Right this way, follow me." The sales lady led them to the back of the store, where at least 50 youkai sat, a large amount of them males. "Is there anything special your looking for by any chance?"
"Thank you, I don't know. Uh, may I ask what you recommend?" Rin asked. The woman scanned each of the males, and a smile spread across her face and she stopped in front of a tall Youkai. He had long, beautiful silver hair, a violet moon on his forehead, and two read strips on either side of his face.
"This is one of our newer models, his maker named him Sesshoumaru. I think he'd be perfect for you." The sales woman turned to Rin, waiting for her answer.
"I guess. I do like his hair. He's rather beautiful if you ask me. Uh will you activate him please?" Rin asked and turned back to the Youkai. "Sesshoumaru"
Sango meanwhile had wandered over to the "pets" section and was scanning the neko shelf. One seemed to catch her eyes and she reached down to pick it up. Its soft fur tickled her fingertips. She examined the neko Youkai, turning it from side to side. She guessed it was a she. She had a sandy tan color fur that was black stripped around her two tails. Her paws were black, as were her ears. She had a black spot on her forehead, and the way her eyes were lined looked as if she were wearing eyeliner. Sango knew what she wanted. She walked to the sales woman that she saw with Rin.
"Will you activate her too please?" Sango asked to the smiling woman, handing her the neko.
After the Youkai were activated the girls paid and left. Only one left with nothing, Kagome.
Sango looked at the Youkai she had bought, the Youkai looked back at her. "What should I name you?" Sango asked the Neko, her only response was a quiet "Mew" from the Youkai.
Rin looked at Sesshoumaru, and smiled slightly. He truly was beautiful. When his eyes had opened they had revealed a stunning pair of golden honey colored orbs. Rin didn't care how cold they seemed, she still loved them.
Kagome looked over at her friends and their new Youkai, and sighed. She had left empty handed. It wasn't fair that she couldn't afford one like her friends. But when you had to make rent every month and pay school fees too, you were usually left broke.
Sango heard her friend sigh and looked over at her. "Kag, something wrong?" She asked. Kagome looked up, smiled the best false smile she had ever done and shook her head.
"No Sango, nothings wrong. But guys, I'm feeling a bit tired. I'm gonna head home and take a nap, k?" Kagome didn't wait for an answer, she just headed towards her apartment complex. She was walking by a dumpster lot when something caught the sunrays and glinted, catching her eyes.
"Whats that?" Kagome asked herself, turning and walking towards the shine. She reached where it lay, and bent down taking it in her hands. She gasped, it felt like human hair. Moving a few boxes and bags around, she gasped again. There in the trash lay what seemed like a perfectly good Youkai. One thing caught her attention though. He had ears on top of his head, instead of elf ears like the rest of the Youkai. She reached up and tweaked them lightly, taking in the softness of them.
"Why are you here?" She wondered out loud. Kagome thought for a moment. 'Hmm I wonder where his switch is.' She felt behind his ears. Nothing. Down onto his chest. Again nothing. She searched everywhere, except one place. A blush spread across her cheeks.
"No way. Nu-uh I am not touching there." Her eyes traveled down to his thighs, the blush darkened.
"But I want to see if he still works" Closing her eyes tight, she reached downwards. Her fingers ran down the inside of his left thigh. She didn't find a button, so she moved to the right side. She suddenly realized how little he was wearing. He looked like a badly wrapped mummy almost. She ran her fingers down the inside of his right thigh, they hit something and stopped.
"The button?" She asked herself as she pulled some of the material away from the spot. There she saw what looked like a small tan button. She pushed it and it clicked. The Youkai in front of her shuddered to life.
His eyes opened first, when he saw her a scowl formed on his lips.
"Nice seeing you after so long, Kikyo." His voice was harsh and cold. Kagome was taken aback to say the least.
"Who's Kikyo?" She whispered.
"Don't play dumb with me. Why the hell did you put me to sleep!?" He growled at her, sitting up quickly. The swift movement startled Kagome, making her stumble and lose her balance. She felt herself falling, closed her eyes and waited to hit the ground. When she didn't, she opened her eyes to find beautiful golden eyes staring back at her.
"When did you get so clumsy, Kikyo?" He asked with a smirk, letting her go gently on the ground.
"Kikyo?" Kagome questioned.
"You act as if your own name is foreign to you or something." The Youkai muttered.
"But my name is not Kikyo."
"How dumb do you think I am?"
"I'm not Kikyo. I am Kagome. Ka-go-me." Kagome said. She was beginning to get frustrated with him. Her frustration was completely forgotten when suddenly two clawed hands grabbed her shoulders. Her eyes widen as she was pulled to the Youkai's bare chest, he himself was busy sniffing her it seemed. But as abruptly as she was grabbed, the next second she was being shoved away.
"Your not her so who the hell are you and where's Kikyo!?" The Youkai demanded.
Kagome face was blood red, from being pulled against the surprisingly warm Youkai. But even though a blush covered her cheeks, a frown rested on her lips. "I already told you I'm Kagome! And I don't know where this Kikyo person is. So stop yelling at me!!"
"I'll yell at you if I wish!" He noticed her blush. "What are you sick or something your face is amazingly red and.." He reached out and touched her cheek lightly with the back of his hand. "warm.."
Kagome stared at him for a moment. He had just gone from yelling at her, to having a soft voice and worried expression. She blinked.
"Whats your name?" Kagome whispered.
"InuYasha"
"What?"
"I said InuYasha"
"InuYasha..." She repeated to herself, then looked up at him. "Well InuYasha do you want to come home with me?"
InuYasha glared at her. She was talking to him as if he were a lost little kid or something.
"Why, no Wench. I want to stay here behind the dumpster and live here happily ever after. Of course I'm coming with you, until I find Kikyo and get my revenge." He stood and extended a hand to her to help her up.
"If your gonna be like that then I'll take the offer back" She mumbled, taking his hand. She looked up at him with a slight frown. Her eyes met his, anger evident in his golden orbs.
"Fine fine. I'm sorry." He muttered under his breath.
"Huh?"
He looked down at her and sighed. Again she looked up at him, defeat now shown in those beautiful golden eyes. Suddenly Kagome was struck with how stupid she seemed. He was a computer. Computers can't feel anger or defeat. It was a program that he was given, that was all.
"So you want to get going to my house or do you wanna stay here for the night?" Kagome asked smiling.
InuYasha looked down at her and couldn't help but notice how beautiful her smile was, he sighed again.
"Sure"
Kagome smiled again. She turned and began walking from the dumpster lot, InuYasha following in suit behind her.
