A man in red and white, with golden eyes, about 6'3" tall, sighed, preparing himself for the start of the concert. "You ready for this, man? I can't fucking believe they're gonna make us make the announcement at the end of this thing. Can't they announce it on TV themselves, the lazy bastards?" He turned to his companion and band mate as he said this.

The redhead beside him grinned and looked over at his band mate. "Our female fans would just go nuts to know they have a chance to play alongside us, don't you think? It makes for better public relations to do it ourselves." He stood at an intimidating seven feet tall, his clean white linen shirt open, showing off his chest, black jeans clinging to his long legs.

The other man shook his head. "It's still unnerving how you can be a normal fox one moment, then a human. Stay in your regular self, we're on stage in a few minutes." The young man stood up, walking to his entrance. His long silver-white hair would gleam when he stepped on stage. This was the only job he could have in this modern world; only here would his ears be considered fine to be seen.

His friend chuckled and glided over to his entrance. "I would never scare our fans like that...You, on the other hand, look like a youkai."

He laughed. "We're supposed to, it's the band's image, remember? Besides, by blood, I am a 700-year-old Inu hanyou, I can't change how I look. Now just get your regular self out here so we won't disappoint. For some reason, our female fans like our ears."

The jade eyes slid closed and when they opened, they were a deep gold, his bright crimson locks lengthened and lightened to a gentle silver. The man smiled. "It's good to be back."

"Great to see you, man. Let's show those ladies what sexy is!" He grinned, a fang peeking out over his lip. Just then, the announcer called out to the crowd.

"Now, everybody...here's what you've been waiting for! For your entertainment pleasure...please welcome to the Tokyo Center...CANINE GLORY!" In front of the man in red and white, red, white and gold fog started coming out of fog makers. With another smirk, he leaped through it. Rose petals were floating in front of the entrance for the other man.

He grinned and leaped through the fog makers, rose petals swirling around him as he appeared on stage, the roars and cheers washing over him in wave. "How're you tonight, Tokyo??!!!!" He cried into the microphone. Cheers rained over him, "We love you, Kurama!"

The Inu hanyou walked forward, smirking. "Are you guys ready for us?" The girls kept screaming, some yelling about love, but one girl from the back screamed out, "Marry me, Inuyasha!" Inuyasha chuckled. "Do you think they're really ready, Youko?"

Youko smirked and shook his head, "Not even close. Girls, we wanna hear how much you want it!" He knelt down in front of some particularly loud girls, and held out the microphone "Are you ladies ready for this?"

The girls started screaming about how excited they were, one even asking if Youko would take her out to the bus after the concert. Inuyasha laughed. "Seems they are, Youko. Let's start this party!" More screams filled the arena, and Inu smirked as he took up his guitar and started to play one of their many hit songs.

Youko sang, playing the drums expertly and reveling in the spotlight. He had always loved this scene. The crowd, the cheers, the women. This was where he was truly home.

As the concert ended among much screaming and chanting of, "Encore! Encore! Encore!" Inu shook his head. "Sorry, not tonight, ladies. We have some news for you, then we need some sleep! Youko, why don't you tell these lovely ladies the news?" He knew that, though they had equal numbers of fans now, Youko had been the one who initially attracted them. Mostly because he could mingle as Shuichi.

Youko grinned and looked out at the crowd. "We need a new vocalist. A female vocalist, to be exact. Canine Glory will be holding a competition to see who will be our new leading lady...or ladies, since we really need 2! We want to hear everyone, so we'll be going around Tokyo, visiting homes and shrines to see girls singing!"

Inuyasha smirked. "That's right! Two lucky ladies will get to join the band, fill the other 2 bunks in the tour bus, and spend most of each year with us! We'll be at Higurashi Shrine first, so come see us after it opens tomorrow! The shrine priest has agreed to let us stay, since it'll increase shrine visitations! We'll be waiting under the Sacred Tree, so look for us! Goodnight, Tokyo! We love you!" Then Inu walked off the stage, hoping Youko would follow and not drag fans back tonight. They needed a good night's sleep if they were gonna be able to sit through auditions the next day.

Youko motioned to a girl in the front row. "Would you come with me, Miss?" She blushed and pointed to herself. He nodded and held a hand out the her. "Please." She was one of the more keen girls who shouted, in the middle of his solo, that she wanted him in her bed that night. Youko looked back at Inuyasha with an apologetic grin.

Inuyasha growled, ears flattening. "Not tonight, Youko. We'll need our energy for auditions, and I won't fucking be able to sleep when I can clearly hear you fucking that chick senseless on the other side of the bus. Once we're settled at the shrine, if you want to 'comfort' the ones who don't make the cut, that's fine with me. But not tonight, we need our sleep." The look in his eyes was just daring his band mate to oppose him.

Youko scowled briefly then turned back to the girl, trying to morph his defeated grimace to an alluring smile and kissed her hand. "I'm sorry, Gorgeous, might we resume this at a later date? My roommate wouldn't appreciate being woken up by your screams." He winked and leaned in, kissing her deeply. "Call me, 'kay?" He flicked his business card at her, leaving the groupie dazed and flushed with excitement.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked back out toward their bus. They could hear the announcement over the loud speakers as they did, "Canine Glory has left the building." He chuckled, then scowled. "Why do you always do that, Youko?"

Youko shrugged, following after Inuyasha, smiling brightly. "All in good fun, Inuyasha, all in good fun. You know I love women and they love me." He stuffed his hands in his pockets, the smile souring. "But you always ruin my fun."

"Only when I need to sleep. I let you take 5 girls each from our last 5 gigs." He sighed. "How many of them made it out of the bus on their own power when you were done with them?"

Youko's grin widened. "None of them. I worked my magic on them...none a single one of them left unsatisfied." He shot Inuyasha a knowing look. "How many women have you fucked in the past year?" He snickered at Inuyasha's glower.

A snarl accompanied that glower. "K'eh! I don't fuck them, I haven't ever done anything of that sort and you know it! Never in my 700 years of life. And that's because I want it to be special, with the right woman. I know foxes sleep around, but dogs are one female ever youkai, and you know it." Sure, he knew that Youko only slept around to find the right woman to spend his life with, but Inuyasha preferred to use his hand to sate his needs until he found the right woman.

Youko rolled his eyes. "That's a crock of shit and you know it. Sesshomaru has slept with several women. I bet he's screwing some broad right now!" He laughed, playfully punching Inuyasha on the shoulder.

Inu rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and he's our PR manager! I don't give a shit, you fail to realize that every woman he's screwed has been his mate. He hasn't had one in 200 years, I know he hasn't gotten any since then. Even being bound to him...He's still heartbroken over Rin's death. There's only so much that a human body can take, I guess. I'm amazed she lived 300 years." Inu sighed. "You really need to find your mate, Youko. I know I do, too...I just haven't caught the right scent, I guess." It was a well known fact that canine demons found their mates by initial scent.

Youko sighed and nodded, his eyes downcast. "I know, and neither have I. But...I dunno, maybe the single life suits us. Maybe we shouldn't even bother. I know I haven't found anyone in the hundreds of years I've been alive..."

Inu sighed. "Your true soul mate's out there somewhere, Youko. You just need to look for her. Maybe you'll find her on our search for our female band mates, huh?" He grinned. "Maybe they'll be the winning girls. That'd be nice, huh? Have our mates working with us?"

Youko smiled a little, looking up at the stars twinkling above them. "That would be something wouldn't it? A miracle, if there ever was one."

Inu grinned. "Yeah. Now, let's get on the bus and head to the shrine. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can get to sleep. It's gonna be a long day tomorrow."

Youko yawned, opening one eye to look over at his band mate. "Let's get a move on then. I'm actually kinda beat, thanks for making leave the girl behind, bro."

Inuyasha grinned. "You're welcome. Let's get in." With this, he nodded to their body guards and got into the bus.

Youko followed him, flopping into his bed with a groan. "Oh my god, what a day." He turned to grin at Inuyasha. "Tomorrow's gonna be even more hectic."

Inuyasha nodded, flopping on his own bunk. "You've got that right. Geez..." He closed his eyes, relaxing as the bus drove off.

Meanwhile, at the Higurashi Shrine, Cho Maora was sitting back on her air mattress. She was having a sleep-over with her best friend, Kagome Higurashi. "I can't believe we missed the concert, Kaggie."

Kagome exhaled loudly and flopped back onto her bed. "I know, I really wanted to see them..." She closed her eyes, hugging her pillow tightly to her chest. "To see them would be so amazing...The womanizer and the brooding hottie...what a breath-taking duo..." Canine Glory had been widely know for their ability to play off each other's personalities and take advantage of that with their fan base.

Cho nodded. "Yeah...but you have such an amazing life! They'll be staying here at your shrine! Do you think we'll be able to meet them before the shrine opens for the day? Gods, if I could just meet Youko...I know he's a womanizer, but I wouldn't mind being taken back to the bus by him..." She shuddered deliciously at the thought of him taking her back to the bus. "You know, they say he knows how to satisfy a woman until she's unable to walk on her own power from the pleasure. I wonder what his ears and tail feel like?" She was daydreaming again.

Kagome giggled and said in a sing-song voice, "You're in love with Youko Kurama. You're in lo-" She was stopped short by a pillow hitting her in the face.

"Yeah, I am, so what? I know from when you talk in your sleep that you want to get it from Inuyasha!"

She turned bright red and stuttered. "Maybe so, but seriously. I think we could catch them before the shine opens in the morning if we wake up early enough..." she smiled mischievously.

Cho giggled. "Then let's get to sleep! I really wanna meet Youko...maybe he'll let me touch his tail!" She sighed, taking her pillow back and pulling her plush white, 4-tailed fox to her. She'd named it Youko, after her favorite member of Canine Glory.

Kagome curled up on her side, hugging her pillow, accidentally letting her snow white dog plush fall off the bed. "Goodnight, Cho-chan..."

"Goodnight, Kag-chan. Don't forget Yashie, he fell off." Cho laid down, covering up in her blanket and drifting off to sleep with a smile on her face, nuzzling into her plush fox's fur.

Kagome leaned down and picked up Yashie, her stuffed animal named after Inuyasha himself. Lying down she cuddled it and drifted off to sleep, smiling faintly.

Before long, the bus stopped in the driveway of the shrine house. Inu sighed. "Seems we're finally at the shrine, Youko."

Youko yawned, rubbing his eyes. "This is going to be a nightmare, Inu..." He groaned, sitting up. "An entire day surrounded by beautiful women I can't bed until tonight..." A grin crept across the fox's face, his eyes brightening with delight. "Beauties I may seduce and take back onto the bus...as early as noon..." His laughter was cut short by Inuyasha's glare.

Inu sighed. "It's barely midnight, Youko. We should really get as much sleep as we can. Besides, didn't you hear? The shrine owner's daughter and her best friend are supposedly our biggest fans. From what Fluffy said, the best friend is sleeping over tonight. They may try to meet us before the shrine opens for the day. We're supposed to have breakfast with the family, too."

Youko slumped back into bed. "At what time?"

Inu groaned. "In 6 hours."

The kitsune grimaced and pulled the blanket over his head. "Sleep...that's what I need..." he groaned.

The Inu hanyou nodded, going to settle down. "Who knows, maybe these girls will be able to sing, and may have the right scent. We might find our miracle." Inu sounded hopeful, even though he didn't believe it. That'd be way too good to be true.

Youko snorted. "It couldn't be that easy, Inuyasha. Get your head out of the clouds and go back to sleep...Maybe you'll find your mate in your dreams, but not in this cold, hard reality...Just like I never will." The kitsune youkai shut his eyes, willing away the sadness. He only wished he could meet the girl for him...not that he'd ever admit it.

Inu yawned. "Yeah...we'll see who's right, Youko...Goodnight, man."

Youko yawned in unison. "G'night..."

With this, the members of Canine Glory fell asleep. Little did they know what would be happening in the morning.
