InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cats and Dogs ❯ Questions and Answers. ( Chapter 3 )

Inu Yasha harrumphed and crossed his arms over his chest; the youkai had seated himself on the floor and at the moment was pouting over his hurt pride. He had been trying to boost his self-confidence by picturing Neko receiving the sit treatment many times. He rolled his golden eyes and directed his gaze towards one of the windows in Fia's bedroom.

"Great, another kid."

The boy rushed over to Fia's bedside looking her over carefully as if she might have been hurt. Kagome thought she saw he eyes linger over certain parts of her anatomy but didn't say anything about it. She wondered if the overprotective cat-boy had seen it too. He had, and the low rumbling sound of his growl could be faintly detected. The miko noted that Inu Yasha seemed to be enjoying Neko's growing anger, though he tried to hide his amusement by keeping his head turned towards the window, even then his eyes could be seen near the corners, watching.

"Fia! What's going on in here? Who're all these people? Are you okay?"

Neko snorted and eyed the dark haired boy.

"I'm sure you know, J. I could hear your heart beat outside the door."

J blanched and immediately began apologizing profusely to Fia. She chuckled and shook her head.

"It's okay J. Just try not to do it again. Kay? Oh, by the way. The girl over there is Kagome. The one with the giant boomerang is Sango. The guy trying to feel her up is--"

POW!

"…Miroku. Shippo's the anthro-fox over there... And the white haired anthro is Inu Yasha. Guys… this is J."

Inu Yasha growled, "I hope you don't have any more kids around here."

Kagome shot him a look that said he was getting extremely close to a sit. J took the opportunity to climb onto Fia's lap, much to Neko's irritation. The two seemed to space out for a few moments, grinning or turning their eyes as if they were having a conversation without ever moving their lips. Kagome watched them, confused. Then turned her blue-gray eyes to Neko for answers. The boy shrugged and shook his head, smiled a little, revealing sharp canines at the corners of his lips, it made Kagome wonder if Inu Yasha looked like that when he smiled.

"I can't really explain it…they're getting information from each other's computers. When Fia and J exchange info it makes it hard for them to talk."

That didn't help much. What computers was he talking about? The miko sure as heck didn't see any in the little wooden room.

"How?"

"Er…its in their heads… or something. Fia's a bio robot and J's a freak--Ow!"

Fia elbowed her lover none too gently, quite finished with speaking to J's computer. She gave Neko a "you're pushing it" look and he quieted down right away.

"A bio robot?"

"What's a computer?"

Fia smiled a bit. To Sango it looked like there was relief in her bright green eyes.

"Kagome, I'll leave the explaining to you."

The miko wrinkled her nose at Fia.

"Thanks a lot. Well, Inu Yasha, it's like a…a…" She looked to Sango for help, but realized she knew just as little about computers as the rest of the gang did. Only Fia, J, and Neko could possibly help her, and Fia didn't look too ready to give out helpful hints any time soon. She tried Neko but the anthro-cat didn't look like he knew much better than Inu Yasha or the rest of the gang did. He looked like someone who went outdoors quite a lot, darkly tanned with sandy brown hair that looked like it had been bleached many a time by the sun. The miko also couldn't help but notice that he was quite built; Neko wore no shirt to hide his well-toned pecs and six-pack.

She also noted that Fia didn't seem to have the outdoorsy qualities Neko had. Her skin was pale, almost milky white, but while his was work calloused and hardened Fia's skin looked soft as silk. Though she still had the showings of a well worked out body her muscles seemed more hidden to make her form subtly attractive. Fia also had wavy, coal-black hair and dazzling bright green eyes. They were so bright in fact that they seemed to be almost unnaturally green.

J slipped off of Fia's lap, had enough of Neko's jealous glares. He was also a little paranoid that Inu Yasha's presence would make Neko's temper even shorter than normal and he'd get pummeled sooner. The second J slid off Fia's lap Neko's arms snaked around her petite waist and lifted her onto his lap.

Kagome huffed. Her attempts to get the gang to understand what a computer was had become a near impossible task. She rubbed her temples to fend off a slight headache and tried again to get them to understand.

"A computer is like a box that thinks and does certain things for another person like adding numbers or letting a person talk to another person far away. It also is helpful for gathering information."

"So it's like a person?" Shippo queried.

"Except it doesn't have a soul and only does what you make or tell it to do."

Neko felt Fia stiffen in his arms, he kept his face passive as he gave her waist a light squeeze. His head tilted down near her ear whispering comfortingly to her. Inu Yasha's sensitive ears could just barely pick up the anthro-cat's voice.

"They don't mean you. Besides, you're still human"

Fia smirked; to the half demon she seemed to be hiding an old wound that had just been irritated again. Her sarcastic response only added to his suspicion.

"I'm not sure if ten percent is even enough to make me a human."

The dog-demon blinked. Only ten percent human? That couldn't be right, she didn't even smell like demon. Fia smelled like lilacs. Not ever as good as Kagome smelled, but pretty nice. She was definitely human, though he did smell something foreign on her, almost smelled like hot metal. If Fia wasn't completely human, then what was she? Kagome interrupted his thoughts before they could progress further.

"Ah I give up!"

"I'm hungry." Shippo whined.

"Me too." Chimed in all the rest of the guys, who then glared at each other.

Fia clapped her hands together, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Well then, we'll just have to make some dinner. Come on guys."

She motioned for them to head downstairs, everyone did as they were told without another word. Everyone was well ready for some grub.
