Dual Pet Shop's

Summary: In an attempt to rid Neo Chinatown of Count D's Pet Shop, Fei Woo hires a Pet Shop Owner from Japan and places her rather...historic looking shop...right across from D's more supernatural shop. D isn't concerned over this new competition until...he finds her pets to be...oddly similar to his own rare breeds. She however, seems perfectly fine just leaving Count D's Pet Shop alone.

Rated: M….(Because I like that letter! ^_^'')

Couple: That question doesn't merit an answer...-.-...

NOTE: There will be Cameo's from other pieces of Matsuri Akino-Sama's Manga's.

Guest Appearances!

Lord Sohki – A Kirin that visit's D's Petshop in Tokyo in the Manga Genju no Seiza. He is a Kirin who is supposedly the only beast not under the command or control of the 'Holy King' and his subjects. He is blind and deaf, but can read thoughts. Sohki often teases and mocks anyone he meets, but when serious he is said to be able to easily destroy Japan. Though he is the only one who can tell which King is the rightful one, he refuses to do so as he claims that it was merely another fight between Garuda and Naga (Guardians of the Holy King).

D made a couple Cameo's throughout the series. ^_^''

New Homes...?

"..." Kagome looked at the arch, two large suitcases held tightly, one in each hand. 'How did I get here again...'

-Flashback-

Kagome looked at the envelope and letter, she felt warmth from her forehead. Her fingers once more traced the lining of the golden, orange, yellow and red interlaced outlining, the red Kanji burning and glowing bright red.

'Another animal, no...This feeling, it's different. It's...familiar though.' Her eyes shut, lashes caressing her cheeks when she sighed; opening her eyes as she stood from laid back spot on the couch. Walking up to her cell that lay on a side table of the other side of the couch she had just previously been lying on. Picking the paper up, she clenched it tightly before flipping her phone open and dialing the number, saving it in her phone under Taizu.

She listened for a few minutes as the phone rang in her ear, finally she heard it pick up. The man, Taizu she assumed, was yelling at someone from the other side before turning their attention to her.

"Yes?"

"Taizu-San, I could call back at a better time if you wish."

"I will decide that, who is this?"

"Kagome, Higurashi Kagome. You sent me a request―"

"Ah! Yes, you have thought about my offer?"

"I'd like to accept the invitation, however, I must implore that you use the utmost care when handling and moving my...pets. Can I trust you with them, or shell I go ahead and rethink my reply?"

"You have no need to worry, you pet's will be dealt with as if fragile porcelain."

"I will hold you to that. I'll be arriving in three days, I want my pet's brought over to the new shop at 12:00 pm and I'll arrive an hour later."

"Oh?"

"Yes, I have a prior engagement at 11:30 and won't arrive at the shop till later."

"I see; then I'll see you in three days at One O'clock."

"Till then," She hung up and looked at her friendly companions. "How long has it been since we have moved to a new home, I guess it's time for a change in scenery."

-End-Flashback-

"That's right, Kirin was burning warmth once more, it called for me to come here, but why?"

"Ah, you must be Higurashi-San, welcome." Kagome looked to her left, a nicely trimmed up man in a business suit that no doubt cost more then her entire wardrobe put together, stood staring at her.

"I am. Am I correct in my assumption that you are Taizu-San?"

"Yes, please, leave your bags. My secretary will―"

"No, I quite prefer to take my bags myself. I'll follow you."

"Right, this way please."

"..." She turned and looked up at a phone line. A Rose-Breasted Cockatoo, or more commonly known in the continent of Australia as the Galah, sat staring back at her. Taizu turned when she whistled a high pitched tune for the bird and watched the feminine bird fly down and onto her shoulders. "How is Nana holding up?" She asked the bird who whistled an equally sweet tune. "Give it a couple more days then."

She turned to a confused Taizu and walked up to him, causing him to turn and continue his steady pace towards her knew home. When they stopped, she looked across from her shop and her eyes widened. Placing her bags down carefully; she ran to the shop and stopped at the closed sign; knocking softly on the door she noted the business man walking up behind her.

"Do you know D?" He dreaded the answer, praying he hadn't just hired another weird Petshop owner.

"Yes, I―" She stopped when the door opened to reveal someone similar to the Count she had met some time ago, but not nearly the same. "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else."

"Oh?"

"Yes, you look like a man I met when I was a little girl."

"My father perhaps? Or...where was it?"

"I met him in England. You see, a...man brought me there at one point and he saved my life in a way. He looks, or maybe I should say, you look, just like him, only his hair was much longer and he wore this long shadow like black cloak."

"Yes, you met my grandfather. Did you buy a pet or something?"

"Uh...hehe, no, not exactly. The story is long and tedious. To make it short, he inspired me to keep living and I adopted a trait of his after one meeting. I became a Petshop owner, creating a family and world all my own."

"...you...you are the new Petshop owner?"

"I am, I hope to see you later, grandson of Count D." She turned and left, leaving Taizu to stare at her with D.

"What is her name?" D asked.

"Kagome Higurashi." Taizu said before walking after her.

"Oh geez, I'm so used to dad causing me problems that..." He glared at Q-Chan. "I wasn't really expecting you to cause me problems. Putting that aside, you came for something a week back and have already retrieved it no doubt, why are you still here?"

Q-Chan morphed smoothly into Sifu Count D who merely smiled. "I felt that I should wait before returning to D-Chiichai."

"Who is this girl?"

"Kagome, she was brought to me by a family friend, one that you know and will most assuredly make another appearance relatively soon. I have no doubt that mysteries will fall around her and her Petshop, more important, I wonder if you will be able to solve the enigma that is she."

"Wha― Grandpa!" D called out as he turned back into his odd mixed bat form before flying out the still open door. "The enigma that is she..."

(2 Day's Later: Elsewhere)

Nana lay in content on the bed, waiting for her new mistress to return from a party. She looked at the window and hoped onto the sill of it. There she was, her mistress and...Who was that other girl?

"Mama! Mama! I found another kitty, she was abandoned!"

'Hm? Abandoned? She is an Albino, opposite from me. Her eyes are red too.' Nana thought from where she stood looking into the eyes of the little girl with crimped snow white hair that fell to her hips and red doll like eyes. She wore a white night dress that was made of silk.

"Yoru, this will be your new friend, mama say's we can keep her too. Her name will be Yuki, it means Snow."

-Mew-

'Yoru, she named me Yoru for Night. I miss Kagome...'

"Hey! Move!"

"Ah, what?" Nana looked at Yuki who looked down at her as if she were nothing but a stray.

"I said Move! You are in my spot." The girl left to eat dinner.

"This is my spot."

"Not anymore!" -Hiss- The white albino brought a clawed paw down on Nana who cried out in pain when it ran across her right eye. Three lines of different lengts bled red onto the white blankets of her Mistresses bed. The door slammed open and the mother of her mistress came in, picking up Nana and moving away from the Albino who lay asleep in Nana's spot.

"NATALIE!"

Natalie ran in and let out a gasp at the sight of her kitten.

"Yuki, how could you!?" She took Nana and ran outside. It was 11:43 at night. Monica looked at the clock nervously.

"Natalie! NATALIE!" She called out of the window as her daughter ran to a vet.

(The Next Morning)

Kagome turned on the TV and listened to the news as she ate a bowl of cereal.

"―unfortunately, the little girl didn't return home. The mother, Monica Kale called in and reported her missing at 12:30 in the morning. Claiming that the her daughter, Natalie Kale knew she wasn't aloud out after 12:00. The daughter was last seen with a rare fully black coated Birman kitten with gold eyes, in Burma, the species was called the "Sacred Cat of Burma". The girl was found in an alleyway with what looked to be claw marks of a large wildcat. Forensics is looking the remnants of fur on the cuts over and more information will be released at a later date on the matter. The cat remains to be found."

"So she has returned?" She looked at her Galah. "Kiyo, find Nana and bring her here."

The bird flew out of her opened window and she shut the TV off, walking to the back, she changed onto a kimono top, a pair of black slacks with ankle boots in black leather.

"How sad...she was so young too. I wonder...what happened to make her break the contract's terms."
