TAKES OUT KNIFE AND HOLD TO YOUR THROAT WHILE LAWYERS COME AROUND THE CORNER HOLDONG LAWSUIT PAPERS. PUTS KNIFE DOWN AND GLARESOne of these days…one of these days I will kill the lawyers and take Inu for myself…but for now, I demand you to read my story hehehe.
After some time had passed. Inuyasha had finally settled down and was in the back of Miroku's car, next to Kagome. "So where are we going?" Sango asked. Miroku turned to her and smiled. "Wherever you want to go, my dear Sango." Sango rolled her eyes and turned around to face Kagome. "So where do you want to go?" Kagome put her hand up to her chin. "Hm…I dunno' really. I guess we could just cruse around until we can think of something." Sango suddenly bounced up. "Oh Kagome I have an idea, how about we go get you a new pet, I mean I know it hasn't been that long since you lost Buyo, but maybe it will help you heal." Kagome nodded slightly. "Yeah, maybe it will." She agreed. So Miroku drove to the china town that was located in downtown Tokyo. They drove through the place until Miroku parked in front of a very elaborate shop. The sign hanging above read, "Count D.'s pet shop". Miroku handed Inuyasha a hat and they got out of the car. As they walked up to the door, a large American man came barging through yelling back into the shop. "Damn you Count D. I will get you one of these days." The man turned around only to run into Sango. "Oh sorry about that babe." Miroku was stung. "Babe"? Miroku glared at him with one of the most evil expressions a guy could really give. The man who had just ran into Sango wasn't all that bad looking. He had short-cut blonde hair. Wore regular t-shirt and blue jeans. "My name is Orcot." He announced. "I really wouldn't get anything from this pet-shop. The guy that runs this place is a wanted criminal. I am just waiting for the judge to issue a warrant." A voice rang out from the store. "Detective, quit trying to scare my customers away! And if you want me in jail so bad, why am I babysitting your little brother!" Orcot growled at the shop then stomped away with storming rage. The four looked at each other. Needless to say, they were all just a bit baffled. They shrugged it off and went into the pet-store. As soon as they walked in, they could smell the drafting aroma of sugary sweets. Cakes, candies, pies; you name it and you could smell it. A young man with shoulder-length black hair came out from behind a door with bamboo hanging from the upper frame. He was handsome. One of his eyes had a bluish-sparkle, while the other was a mischievous yellow that made him look like a devious criminal. He had broad shoulders and looked like he wore a kimono. His long fingernails made Inuyasha wonder, 'Is this person a guy or girl?' The man bowed, and introduced himself. "My name is Count D. and I run the pet shop here in Chinatown. Is there anything I can help you lovely ladies with?" Sango and Kagome giggled. The Count just smiled. Oh yes, he could tell he was going to like these two. He looked over at the two men who had come in with the girls. They, however, did not seem to like him very well. He might need to get rid of them, but the one with the white hair intrigued him…why would that be so? He looked back at the girls' and pulled back the bamboo that hung from the doorframe behind him. "Please come through here and we can discuss business over a cup of tea and perhaps some pie. The girls nodded and went through the door. The count smiled back at Miroku and Inuyasha, and then went through the door. Miroku looked over at Inuyasha. "Is there something wrong with that guy or is it just me?" He asked. Inuyasha nodded then followed the others through the door with Miroku right behind him.
Kagome
was stunned. The room past the door was beautiful. Chinese pottery
was on top of many beautiful Chester drawers and most of the
furniture had some type of animal painted or sewn onto it. A large
coffee table sat in the center of the room with beautiful
cherry-colored leather couches. The girls sat on the couch right in
front of the door. They looked on the other couch. A little boy sat
on the couch with several different animals beside him. Some the
girls had never seen before. The boy looked like the man they saw
running out of the store earlier. The count walked in and sat beside
the boy. "This is Chris. He is detective Orcot's little
brother. They look a lot alike don't they?" The girls nodded.
"But he is much more mannered than his older brother." The Count
fumed. Just about this time, Miroku and Inuyasha came through the
door. The count stood up and walked over to another table and
grabbed a silver platter with half-a-dozen cups, and a teakettle.
The sweets were already on the table. All kinds of sweets. Pies,
cakes, candy, fruits, and many other assorted goods. The count sat
the platter on the table next to a few fruit ordure's. He poured
two cups and handed them to Kagome and Sango. He pointed to a large
glass container. "That is where the sugar is." "Thank you."
The girl's replied in unison. The count looked over to the boys.
"You may also have some tea if you would like." "No thank you,
I'm fine." Miroku replied. Inuyasha just huffed. Kagome sat
back up after adding several teaspoons of sugar to her tea.
"So
what is the deal with the animals around that boy, I have never seen
some of those animals in my life, especially that goat-looking
creature." The count looked over at the animal she was talking
about. Its hair was long and shaggy, like a cocker spaniel, but had
the horns of a large adult ram. "Oh that animal sitting next to
Chris, His name is T-Chan. He is a very rare animal; you wouldn't
expect to find many more of him. He is a ." Kagome
nodded and took a sip of her tea. The count also drank some of his
tea while he watched her, noticing her every move and her every look.
He then sat his tea down on the table and folded his arms across his
lap. "So may I ask the names of my customers?" Kagome nodded,
"My name is Kagome." Sango sat her cup down, "and I am Sango."
Miroku waved, "I am Miroku, and this fellow beside me is
Inuyasha." The count looked at Inuyasha closely. "Well,
Inuyasha, you should probably take off that ridiculous hat,
considering it is rude to wear hats inside you know." Inuyasha
shrugged his shoulders and just looked around at the room. "Oh
don't mind him," Kagome giggled, "he has some behavior issues,
we are trying to work them out." The count nodded. "So who is
it that needed an animal?" "That's me," Kagome replied. "So
what kind of animal are you looking for?" Kagome picked up her tea
again. "I am not really sure. I just lost my cat when a storm
came, and lightning struck my poor cat." Kagome's eyes began to
water, but she quickly wiped them away. She took a sip of her tea to
stop herself from saying anything that would start her up crying
again. The count stood up, then I think I know just the thing for
you, please follow me." Kagome stood up and followed the count.
As the others stood up, Count D. turned around and waved them back
down. "I am sorry, but only the direct client is allowed to come
behind these doors." The others looked to the doors he was talking
about. Double cherry-wood doors with golden frames and golden
handles that looked like a unicorn. The Count opened the door and
led Kagome into it. He then shut the door behind them. Inuyasha
began to walk towards the door. When he got just about to the door
the large goat-like creature, T-Chan, attempted to stop him from
entering. T-Chan grabbed hold on Inuyasha's pant legs and pulled
Inuyasha down to the ground. Inuyasha held onto his pants with one
hand, and for his other hand he held onto the cap. He growled and
stared at the ram. "Oh its on now!"
Meanwhile past the two doors…
"Kagome here at my shop we have a large collection of animals that would suit any one of your needs. You seek companionship and someone to love. Perhaps we could find you another cat, or a dog. No…I believe I have something better. I just found this little pet on my way out. He was wandering the streets looking for something. He looked very lost." The count led her to a single small door with a white paint color and a simple brown wooden knob. He turned the knob and opened the door. Kagome was astonished. Behind the smoke of incense, she could see several large male and female humans…well they would look human if they didn't have ears and tails. Kagome could not believe her eyes. The count led her into the room and over to a frail woman cradling a blanket. The Count reached down to her. "I think she will give him a good home." The girl nodded and handed Count D. the blanket. Count D. then handed the blanket to Kagome who began to unwrap it and to her surprise...
OMG what is in the blanket! Well you can keep guessing and try to figure it out huh or maybe you can write me and ask to post the next chappie eh? Well until then, k?
