Sango was laying in her bed, trying to sleep. It was two in the morning and Sango was wide awake. When they had finished with the scrapbooks, Miroku stayed to keep her company. He had left an hour ago and she was trying to get to sleep. But, someone in the building thought it was funny to let their cat walk around making noise. Now it sounded like the cat was on the balcony. Sango threw off her sheets and walked out.
It was raining heavy outside. Sango went into the living room and looked around. It was somewhat chilly in the apartment. She looked through the glass sliding doors outside. Something small was curled up outside. Sango went to the door and opened it. The thing mewed.
It uncurled slightly and looked up at Sango. It had a black diamond on its forehead and a crème fur coat. It stood on its black paws and its two striped tails wrapped around it. It mewed again. Its cry was weak and hoarse. Sango frowned and reached out her hand slowly. The cat flinched slightly and it sneezed.
Sango thought it was the cutest thing in the world. The irritation she felt for the cat before vanished.
"Hey, there. What are you doing our here?" Sango asked.
The cat shivered.
"Come on. Let's get you cleaned up," Sango said. She picked up the cat and closed the door. She got a towel out of a closet and wrapped the cat in it. She sat on the couch and dried its fur.
"What were you doing out there?" Sango asked. The cat blinked.
"You must be hungry. Let's get you some food," Sango said, taking the cat into the kitchen. She put the cat on the floor with its towel. Sango browsed the cupboards and fridge for food. There were some fish and milk in the fridge.
"Ayame wouldn't mind sharing her milk with you," Sango said, giving the cat a plate of food and the milk. The cat ate it hungrily.
"What's your name, kitty?" Sango asked.
The living room lights turned on. Sango looked up and saw Kagome and Ayame watching her. She smiled at them.
"Sango, we love you, but when you wake up in the middle of the night and start talking to yourself in the dark, it's hard not to judge," Ayame said. Kagome nodded.
"You guys come here. Look what I found," Sango said, waving them over. The watched each other before walking to her. The looked down at the sounds of something eating noisily. A little kitten was chewing away.
"Awww. You found her?" Kagome asked and went on her knees to get a better look.
"Is that my milk?" Ayame asked.
"She's adorable! What's her name?" Kagome asked.
Sango looked at the cat for a collar. "It doesn't say."
"No, seriously. Is that my milk?" Ayame repeated, pointing to the almost empty bowl of milk.
"Forget about the milk. Sango just found a kitten. We get a new pet," Kagome said.
"But, that was my milk!" Ayame argued.
"I thought you wouldn't mind," Sango said.
"I needed that milk! After a hard day of lectures, only a nice, warm cup of milk can relax me," Ayame said.
"Just take a hot bath or something," Sango said.
"Not every problem is solved with bathing," Ayame replied.
"You guys! We have a little kitten moving in with us. We need to discuss some things," Kagome said.
"Why is she moving in? She drank my milk!" Ayame said.
"I'll get you some new milk, okay? Calm down," Sango said.
The kitten curled up in the towels and went to sleep. She snored slightly.
"I want to name her Kilala," Sango said.
"Okay. You found her. We're gonna need to buy some food, litter, a bed, toys, littler box. What else?" Kagome said.
"She's a demon cat. She's not gonna like the litter box and litter," Ayame said.
"Why not?" Sango asked.
"Does Peanut like newspapers? Imagine sitting on rocks when you do your business. That area is very sensitive. Then you have to cover it up. You might get a pebble caught under your claw. That fuck hurts," Ayame said.
"You talking from experience?" Kagome asked. Ayame rolled her eyes and walked away.
"She can sleep on the towel for now. We'll have to turn up the A/C so she doesn't freeze with her wet fur," Ayame said.
Kagome rubbed the cat's head lightly and went to clean up Sango's mess. Sango turned up the A/C and helped Kagome with the mess.
"We have a new friend," Kagome said.
"Yep. She looks comfortable," Sango replied.
"It's better than being out in this weather."
The two finished cleaning and turn off the lights. Sleep came easier to Sango then…

Kilala woke up the next morning. The humans from the night before had gone. She was alone. Some food was left out on the floor in front of her. She ate quietly.
After breakfast, the cat went to explore. There were several scents in the home. Some were dog and wolf. Kilala hopped onto the soft couch. She accidentally pressed buttons on the remote and the television turned on. She rested her head and watched in interest.
12 o' clock…
Sango opened the door and entered. The TV was on and she didn't remember leaving it on. She walked into the living room and saw a large cat growling at a wild dog on the TV screen. The cat turned to her and stopped. It went into flames and shrunk. It was Kilala. Sango dropped her bags and raised an eyebrow.
"It's okay. I'm accustomed to weirdness. I have two brothers. You hungry, Kilala?" Sango asked.
Kilala watched to human. She waited for her to say "get out", but she never did. All the humans did this. The let you stay for a day, but then they kicked you out. You were a wild animal and couldn't be trusted.
The girl went into the other room and walked around. The smell of meat and gravy was prominent. Kilala walked slowly into the room and watched from a distance. The girl opened a can and some brown stuff came out. She put a plate of the stuff in front of Kilala. Kilala watched it and ate it warily. She put some water down also.
Kilala was confused. More food? She went back to her bags and pulled out something round. She picked up the towel and replaced it with the round thing.
"That's your bed now. You live with us now, Kilala. I got you something," she said. She put something around Kilala's neck and the cat almost attacked. It was something she only saw on other animals. When they had owners. A collar. She had an owner?
"I have to leave soon, but Kagome will be home later to keep you company. I'll try and bring you some more milk," Sango said. She petted Kilala and got up. She left quietly. Kilala scratched at her neck. The collar was going to take some getting used to.
2' o clock…
Kagome walked into the apartment, tired. Why were lectures so boring? She heard the TV on and went into the living room. Kilala was sitting on the couch watching the food network. The cat looked up when she entered. The cat hopped off the couch and stood. She was wearing a collar. Kagome went to the couch and plopped down. Kilala watched her.
"You can come up," Kagome said. Kilala didn't hesitate. Once she was up, Kagome petted the cat's fur.
"Why were you watching the food network?" Kagome asked. Kilala mewed.

Kouga sat in his class room. He was with Miroku for his 1:15 lecture. He was starting to wonder why he bothered with this history course. There were nothing, but prissy guys and butch girls in this class.
The doors opened. A woman walked in. Kouga felt him pocket vibrate. He checked the phone while she fumbled with her stuff.
The prof's HOT! - Miroku.
Kouga rolled his eyes. Rn't u dating Sango?
Yea… wat's ur point? I'm jus saying she's hot, not that I wanna fuck her… -Miroku.
Kouga put his phone away, a signal for "Conversation Over".
"Okay, class. What is history?" the professor asked. She looked at Kouga and smiled. He sniffed. There was a bored look in the wolf's eye for the whole class. The professor's name was Kimiko. She kept making eye contact with Kouga, probably trying to get him interested in History.
After class, Kouga got up. Miroku was watching the Professor sat at her desk. Pervert. Kouga pushed his back.
"Watching your Professor's thighs from under her desk? I don't think that will get you extra credit," Kouga whispered.
"Kouga?"
The wolf stopped and turned. The professor was watching him. Miroku patted his shoulder and said a quick, "see you outside."
When the last student left, Kouga sat at the table in the front. The professor sat at her desk and crossed her legs. She tried to look professional. She actually wasn't a bad looking teacher. She looked to be about twenty-five with long curly hair. She looked like the type of woman who looked hot and knew she looked hot. She must be proud.
"I noticed you had a blank stare all class," she started.
"Yeah. History's not my favorite subject," Kouga responded.
"Well, even though it's not your favorite, you have to put in the effort. I don't want any of my students failing so early in the year."
Kouga raised an eyebrow. They'd had one lecture. He'd taken notes. Was on time (which was more than he could say for her), didn't disrupt the class, answered questions… what did he do wrong?
"Well, thank you for your concern, Professor, but you don't need to worry about me," Kouga said. He got up and was gathering his bags to leave. She placed her hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"Believe me. I know you can get things done, but that shouldn't keep you from coming to me for anything. I want to help you with anything you might need," she said. Kouga narrowed his eyes at her and said a slow, "okay." He felt his phone vibrate again and took it out. Ayame was calling him.
He answered it, "Hey."
"Can you get me some milk and strawberries?"
"May I ask why?" Kouga asked and continued to get his things.
"When you drop them off, I'll let you know," she said flirtatiously. Kouga smirked when she hung up. He didn't know what she had in mind, but he was very thankful she was imaginative. His girlfriend…
"Kouga-kun?"
Kouga looked at his professor. As much as he wanted to stay and talk about academics, he had a girlfriend to get to.
"I have to go Kimura-Sensei," Kouga said and rushed out the door.

Kagome sat in the Chinese (yes, Chinese food in Japan) Restaurant, her iPod plugged into her ears. She was reading something while waiting for her food.
"Here you go."
Kagome looked up at the waitress. She paused when she saw Kiki lay her plate down. Kiki locked eyes with her and froze.
"I have to go now," Kiki rushed out.
"Wait! Kiki? Why are you here?" Kagome asked.
"Well, you found me out. I work here part time. You happy?" Kiki asked.
"Why would I be happy?"
"Now you know my secret. I'm a rich, spoiled girl whose daddy cut her off," Kiki said.
"Why?" Kagome asked.
"I went on a spending spree in Prague. Bought just the basic necessities: clothes, food, and transportation," Kiki said, sitting down.
"Really?" Kagome asked, genuinely interested.
"Well, I bought the most expensive clothes. I went to five star restaurants every night, and bought a yacht and a nice apartment downtown. It had a nice view," Kiki said.
"You're kidding right?"

Inuyasha laid on his bed in his dorm room. He had invited Kagome over a few minutes ago. Miroku was out someplace, Kouga was with Ayame, and his last roommate, Kyuu, was at the library.
Kyuu was about Miroku's height with shaggy brown hair. He prided on "embracing his masculinity". Which meant showering once a week and wearing clothes that smelt like a dirty gym sock. But, every girl on campus found him to be the most attractive guy ever. Inuyasha snorted.
A knock sounded. Inuyasha got up and answered. Kyuu stood at the door, sweaty and out-of-breath. He walked in and ran around looking for things.
"Gonna take a shower," Kyuu said.
"Bout damn time. Your stench is all over the whole dorm," Inuyasha said.
"Screw off," Kyuu said and left. Inuyasha hoped he wouldn't come back until Kagome left. He didn't need to have his newest roommate all over his girlfriend. The door opened.
He saw Kagome take a step into the room, but paused. "Why does it smell like a dirty, sweaty gym in here?" she asked.
"Roommate. He's not the cleanliest person," Inuyasha said. Kagome walked over to the window and tried to open it. She struggled, but failed.
"It doesn't open. Kinda defeats the purpose of a window," Inuyasha said. Kagome gave up and plopped onto his bed.
"Anyway, I brought Chinese food and good news," she said giving him a baggie, "We have a new pet cat at the apartment and I made a new friend."
Inuyasha was too into the food to hear her. She watched him gorge himself off egg rolls and noodles. She sighed. He'd always eat like a piggy.
She looked up and he stopped eating when the door opened. Inuyasha froze when Kyuu's sweaty, shirtless form walked into the room. The guy walked over to his bed and reached under it.
"Forgot my- hello, there. I see you have some company," Kyuu said. He smiled and walked to Kagome. He stuck his hand out and Inuyasha barely kept from ripping it off. Kagome shook his hand.
"And you are?" Kyuu asked.
"Kagome."
"You must be my roommate's girlfriend. I'm his roommate and all around relationship consultant, Kyuu. Sometimes referred to as his better half."
"Shouldn't I be his better half?" Kagome asked.
"Please, girlfriend. You may be dating him, but he wants me. He knows it. I'm a fine piece of ass," Kyuu joked. Kagome laughed. Inuyasha gave Kyuu a look. The boy took the hint and left them alone.
Inuyasha wasn't sure how to proceed. Seeing Kyuu, the captain of the football team, shirtless had a certain effect on girls.
"That your messy roommate?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah. He takes pride in his masculinity," Inuyasha said.
"Just promise me you won't take up on his habits. You're messy enough. I couldn't take it if your were that messy and smelled like that," Kagome said.
Inuyasha felt slightly better. "You don't like my after-gym smell? That's my 100% all natural smell," he said and hugged her. She tried to get away, but that was an epic fail…
Well, we've met some new people, found out some new things, and the plot's started to unfold.
Will Kouga fall for Professor Kimiko's obvious flirtation?
Will Kiki and Kagome make amends?
Will Kagome fall for Kyuu's charm unexpectedly?
Find out later I guess… DUM, DUM, DUM…
