Chapter four: Yuri's roommate

"Where in the seven hells are we?" Inuyasha looked around the sparsely furnished room.

"Hello...this is my room." Yuri moved some pillows on her bed, then sat down. Shippou sat on her lap, looking around curiously at the new surroundings, this was not the Higurashi Shrine.

"You can make yourself at home." Yuri smiled.

Inuyasha sat on her run and Inuyisha sat on her desk. "Books...interesting." Inuyisha began thumbing through some of the books that were at Yuri's desk.

"Yes...those are my Anne Rice novels."

"Really...these aren't in Japanese...but I've seen this language before." Inuyisha flipped through a hardback copy of 'Interview with the Vampire.'

"They are in English...I am fluent in American English..." /But when would you have seen that language before/

"Hmm?" Inuyasha looked up from looking through a box of cards.

"Yes, well it is a good language for business."

"They write funny." Inuyasha said as he took the book from his sister.

"You have it upside down." Yuri laughed.

"I'm hungry!" Inuyasha jumped up and ran towards the kitchen.

"Inuyasha!" Yuri rushed after him, but she was too late.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Inuyasha screeched.

"Yuri!" A roar shook the walls.

"Sorry Zalana." Yuri said as she pulled Inuyasha away.

"Cool!" Inuyisha and Shippou peeked at the female with white dragon wings and scaly tail.

"What are you?" Shippou gaped.

"Shippou, she's Zalana." Yuri looked at the little fox.

"Whatever the Hell she is, she scared the shit out of me!" Inuyasha peeked from behind Yuri.

"I was stretching and yawning, nothing more." Zalana flashed razor sharp teeth.

"I swear she was going to fucking eat me!" Inuyasha growled.

"Aw, shut up and SIT! She wouldn't hurt you." Yuri growled back.

"Excuse me...but what kind of demon are you?" Shippou stood at Zalana's feet.

"Oh," Zalana picked him up, "I'm a dragon, I just use this for most often."

"She's an anamorphic" Inuyisha whispered.

"Oh...uh, can I pet your tail?" Shippou smiled innocently.

"Sure," Zalana set him down, "Oh, and Yuri at least warn me when you have company."

"Sorry," Yuri said sheepishly.

"But I made enough breakfast for everyone!" Zalana smiled and tickled Shippou with her tail-fingers.

"Ha, ha ha ha...hey!" Shippou laughed gleefully.

"What's for breakfast?" Yuri lead everyone into the kitchen.

"I made fish and rice." Zalana got out a dish that had Yuri written on the side. Then she handed everyone else a dish.

"Yuri, that's a cute dish." Shippou said as Zalana set his plate on the table for him.

"Zalana's Christmas present." Yuri said as she filled it.

Zalana got out a pitcher of milk. "How do you go out in public?" Inuyisha asked as she began eating.

"I can change into a full human form to go out." Zalana went back to the fridge and got out a small plastic bowl of something.

"What's that?" Shippou asked.

"That's mutton stew." Yuri's nose curled up at the sound of what she was saying. "I eat mutton, you eat fish." Zalana began to heat the stew.

"What's mutton?" Shippou tilted his head to the side cutely.

"Sheep." Zalana smiled.

"Ewww." Shippou stuck out his tongue.

"Oh, shut up and eat your damned sheep, ya overgrown lizard." Inuyasha growled, he had only gotten a mouthful of fish and rice.

Zalana snapped her teeth at him and he let out a girlish screech and leapt straight up onto the ceiling fan.

"Inuyasha get off the fan!" Yuri yelled while Zalana was literally roaring with laughter.

"No...way...she'll...fucking eat me..." Inuyasha said as the fan slowly spun around.

"Si--" She started to say, but Zalana stopped her.

"I'll get him down." Zalana said with an evil smirk.

With two flaps of her wings she came face-to-face with Inuyasha and smiled, "Holy FUCK!" Inuyasha attempted to run on air...which didn't work too well.

He fell onto the table, "Easy." Zalana floated down gently.

"So, what do you all wanna do?" Yuri asked nonchalantly.

Inuyisha sat silently laughing at her brother while something tickled at the back of her mind, something that Zalana was reminding her of...

A.N.: O.k. finally found the missing binder with the story in it, so o.k. here's the kicker, mikos maybe human, but if you simply call them human you give the impression that they are normal, when in fact they have powers, and the first few chapter are rated for language only, the good stuff comes in a few more chapters, so please be patient, I'm trying to build up the story and put in some details that will later have a purpose.

Title of next Chapter, Inuyasha HATES overgrown lizards
