InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cats and Dogs ❯ Never Mess With Another Man's Woman ( Chapter 2 )

Inu Yasha tickled Neko's throat with the tip of his blade.

"Now, demon, tell me where your Shikon fragment is."

Neko growled again, golden orbs narrowed, then darted towards Fia to check that she was okay. He did not expect to see her being groped (again) by a dark haired boy. Without thinking, he launched himself over the bed at the lecherous houshi.

"Keep your hands off of Fia!"

Miroku and Neko hit the floor. The angry cat-boy began pummeling him into the floor. Inu Yasha gaped at the sheer speed he had used to avoid being sliced by Tetsusaiga, and then leapt over the bed and into the fray.

"HOLD IT!"

Everyone froze at Fia's shout; the room suddenly filled with the scent of lilacs, all the boys stopped what they were doing and sat down, silly smiles plastered their faces. Kagome, Sango, and Fia seemed the only ones unaffected. With the boys incapacitated, she reached over the edge of the bed and wrapped a sheet around her body. Kagome stared at Inu Yasha; she had never seen him look so inanely happy. Her blue-gray eyes narrowed at Fia.

"What'd you do to them?" Fia smiled apologetically.

"Sorry. I'm not hurting them. That lilac scent in the air…it's from me. It sort of keeps raging males at bay. I want to know what's going on. And I doubt if Neko and your anthro friend there are fighting the entire time that we'll get too far."

Kagome pondered for a moment, the woman didn't seem to be demon possessed, nor did she sense a Shikon fragment even remotely close to her or her demonic-looking friend. She caught herself staring at the nude anthro and blushed. Fia seemed to sense her embarrassment and reached over the bed again, plucked another bed sheet from the floor, and tossed it to Neko. Neko didn't even catch it, still caught up in that sweet scent she gave off, it just draped over his head, conveniently hiding him from view.

Fia smiled a little and returned to where she was sitting. "There. Now then, who are you? And what's up with all the demon and Shikon stuff?"

Kagome was a little surprised the woman hadn't asked her about the strange attire of her friends but she brushed it off for the moment.

"I'm Kagome, this is Sango," She motioned to the girl with the giant boomerang behind her "The guy that tried to grope you is Miroku. The little fox-demon over there is Shippo and the guy with the sword is Inu Yasha."

"Could you tell me exactly why he tried to kill my boyfriend? And… why do you keep calling those anthros demons?" Fia queried, she seemed to be looking for something else on the floor. "Er…uhm…could you hand me my shirt over there, Kagome? By your feet… Yeah, thanks." Fia smiled gratefully as the miko handed her a black long sleeved shirt that zipped up in the front. The woman struggled for a moment to pull it on without exposing herself, finally seemed to get it together and zipped up her top. Sango cleared her throat and spoke.

"Anthro?"

Fia looked a bit confused at the question then slowly responded, not sure of what she was asking. Yes…that's what Neko is…" She motioned towards the blanketed blob on the floor that had once been Neko. " You know… half animal-half human. What's with that face? You look like you've never heard of them before even though you have two of them in your group." Fia motioned towards Shippo and Inu Yasha, both had the same silly grin plastered to their faces. She watched the girls' confused expressions, sighed and scooted out of bed. Fia gave a sheepish smile as she located her discarded pants and pulled them on.

"Okay…here… look."

Now fully clothed, she moved over to Neko and pulled away the part of the blanket that covered his head. Neko's head appeared, complete with sandy brown hair, razor sharp canines, and two pointed ears. Fia smiled fondly, reached out to run her fingers over his ears. Neko purred and turned his head into her palm. After a few more seconds of petting Fia finally seemed to find her voice again.

"See? He's half animal-half human… Or, to be more specific, an anthro cat. Like Shippo and Inu Yasha."

The two girls finally seemed to understand, and they both nodded. Sango, in return for Fia's information, told her all about demons. Fia sat next to Neko the entire time, rapt. Once Sango was finished, the woman asked where the group was from. That lead into an even longer discussion about how Kagome had fallen into the well, freed Inu Yasha from the Goshimbuku Tree and all the events that followed afterward. Whenever Kagome spoke, she tried to keep out the information involving Kikyo or her secret, unrequited love for Inu Yasha, but Sango was always there to tell Fia all about what went on between the Miko and Youkai. Kagome and Sango were a little surprised that Fia would believe them so readily. When they asked, she just replied that in RhyDin, abnormalities were the norm. That of course led to another discussion on the realm of RhyDin, where they presided.

As the conversation went on, Fia's intoxicating lilac scent began to fade, and soon, the boys began to take part in the conversation, settled down for the moment.

"So… If RhyDin is so corrupt, why don't you just move?" Kagome asked.

"There is no where else to move to except guilds or other realms… and those are even less desirable than RhyDin is." Neko had returned to the bed, now clothed (a pair of jeans with a hole in the back for his tail) he kept Fia on his lap, strong arms wrapped around her petite waist.

"I see…Fia? Do you have any idea how we might have gotten here…I told you about the storm already-Inu Yasha! Will you stop growling!?" Kagome turned to the startled half-youkai. Inu Yasha visibly paled as he looked into those angry gray pools of hers. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Neko smirking at him, the anthro-cat had been exchanging dirty looks with him behind Fia's back. This caused Inu Yasha to growl even louder, which only added to Kagome's ire.

"Sit!"

WHAM!

Neko couldn't help but snicker as the half demon hit the floor. Fia turned her head to give him an icy stare. Neko's face soon held the same startled look Inu Yasha's had.

"Whatever you did to make him mad… If you keep it up you're going to sleep on the couch tonight. Got it?"

Neko nodded, then his pointed ears perked up and turned towards the door to their bedroom. He gave a low growl, his golden eyes locked on the door. A few moments later a child burst through the door. He looked no older than twelve years old with short, black spiky hair and bright blue eyes.

"Fia! I heard noises upstairs and I-erm… Fia… I didn't know you were having a party."
