An Inu Player's Love


Chapter Summary: We meet the two slayers Caty and Sango, we meet the Priestess Kagome Higurashi and we meet their fourth roommate/housemate Hitari who seems to be the homemaker.
And we get to meet Seiyu, the messenger for the Lord of the Western Lands and good friend to the girls. Not to mention a little visit to the girls' home. What can happen in there? Let's find out!

"Caty, watch out!" Kagome shouted to her best friend. Caty stopped in path, skidding along the way as she turned immediately to see a dragon youkai slithering through the air down toward her at a high speed. She gritted her teeth, gripping the hilt of her katana waiting for the youkai to get closer to her. As she waited, Sango gripped her hiraikotsu in one hand and flung it.
"Hiraikotsu!" She shouted and it flew blocking the youkai's path toward her friend. The dragon youkai was halted, but just for a moment.
It was close enough the Caty pulled her sword from its sheath and sliced through the dragon youkai's neck, cutting its head off. It fell to the floor with a thud along with the rest of its body. Blood splattered all over Caty who coughed.
"Hey, Caty, you okay?" Kagome asked as she walked over to her friend who nodded.
"Of course I'm all right. Just as long as I am able to take a very long shower when I get home. That was just nasty. I forgot how bad dragon youkai's blood smelled."
"Yeah, I know." Sango replied as she headed over to her two friends. "The stench is uneasy and definitely unbearable."
Caty sighed as she wiped the blade of her now bloodied katana with a small cloth she took out of her pocket. "What is it? The third dragon youkai in 2 days?'
The priestess nodded. "Yeah. I wonder why they are still coming from the North?"
"Do you think Lord Naraku is behind all these youkai attacks?"
Kagome shook her head. "No, I don't think so. If it was him, he would have an army coming our way, not just a simple youkai every now and then. Especially weak youkai like the dragon youkai."
"They why do you think they might be doing this? Why would they come all the way here to the Western Lands without Lord Naraku's permission?"
Sango shook her head as she hefted her hiraikotsu behind her. "I don't know, but we should alert Lord Inutaisho to this. He will want to know what's going on."
Kagome gasped. "Oh no! Seiyu!" She turned running toward a small opening before a surrounded wood. Both the demon slayers followed behind her.

"Seiyu, are you all right?" Kagome asked while turning to an inu youkai lying down on the ground.
Seiyu was the head messenger to the Lord of the Western Lands Inutaisho. He had come to the aid of the girls when he had heard about the new dragon youkai attacking.
Seiyu nodded his head and stood up. "I'm all right. Thanks, Kagome."
Kagome smiled warmly. "Are you sure you're all right?"
He nodded. "I'm fine." He grabbed the back of his head. "As long as I don't have a concussion I'll be all right."
Earlier when he had went to them, the dragon youkai were attacking and one had kicked him knocking him against a boulder knocking him unconscious.
"Perhaps, if you are feeling well, you will want to alert Lord Inutaisho about the dragon attacks. They're getting out of hand." Caty mentioned to Seiyu.
The inu youkai nodded his head, his silver hair swooshing up and down along with his head. "Yes, I will. "
"Would you like us to go with you, Seiyu?"
"No. I will be all right." He straightened himself out. "You girls should get home and get some rest. Maybe a shower." He sniffed. "Or two." His nose scrunched up. "Dragon does not suit you girls well at all." He smirked. "Do you need a ride?"
"No. We have Razico and Kirara."
"Razico?" Seiyu asked. "I thought he was dead."
Caty shook her head. "No. He survived the major attack of the Southern Lord's army."
"The wounds were pretty deep and pretty bad."
"But he was treated well and he survived, but after several weeks of bed rest. But he's doing all right now."
Seiyu nodded while smiling. "I'm glad."
Caty nodded while smiling. "I'm glad as well, Seiyu."
Sango yawned slightly and turned toward the sky. "And speaking of our nekos. KIRARA! RAZICO! DOWN HERE!"

A roar ripped through the blue sky as two nekos--one tan and black, the other silver and green--flew down at top speed, landing on their feet as cats normally do.
"Well, we will see you later, Seiyu. And let us know what our Lord Inutaisho's wishes of us to do about this."
Seiyu nodded while bowing. "I will. Take care, ladies." At that, he lifted himself up in the air along his winding transportation and disappeared.
Kagome put her hand over her eyes to shield the bright sun in her way. "I just hope he doesn't hurt himself while making his way to the mansion."
Sango waved it off. "Seiyu's a strong youkai. He's fine, Kagome. Let's get home before Hitari has another one of her fits about us being late."
Caty just laughed. "Aw, why don't we just make her worry a little longer. Ha ha ha ha!"
Kagome glared at her friend. "No. I'm not gonna make her worry more about us than she already does. She already doesn't like it when we have to go out and slay youkai all the time."
"In case you don't remember, Kagome, that's me and Sango's job. You're the Priestess. You guard the shrine and the Shikon no Tama. Duh!"
"But I still help...I'm a...helper.."
Caty just smirked. "Uh, huh...and when was the last time you ever set your bow and arrows out to help kill the youkai?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Not like they're on hand all the time when we receive word of youkais. Not my fault attacking youkai don't follow a certain schedule."
The girls continued their rants, raves and argument on the way home while riding Kirara and Razico.

-----------The Daimyo's Mansion-----------

It was late in the middle of the afternoon when Lord Inutaisho's office door was knocked upon. Lord Inutaisho was sitting at his desk as always going through several stacks of paperwork and making phone calls. Sighing he turned to the door.
"Come in." He said simply.
The door opened to reveal Seiyu, the Messenger who closed the door and bowed to his lord.
Lord Inutaisho nodded and turned away, speaking into the phone.
"Yes, Hakudo. I really need you to do this for me. It is very important you find potential mates for my sons. Yes. I will expect a full report and list on my desk first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you very much. Good afternoon, Hakudo." He hung up the phone. "Well, Seiyu, a pleasure seeing you again."
"It is always a pleasure seeing you my Daimyo." He sat down as Inutaisho motioned for him to sit in one of the chairs across from his desk. "My Daimyo, might I ask you something?"
"Ask away."
"Did I hear right? That you were going to have your sons mate finally?"
Inutaisho nodded. "That's right, Seiyu. I am tired of my sons thinking they can get away with anything they wish. Especially man-whoring and taking the innocence of young women. So I am having Hakudo work with a matchmaker to find potential mates for my sons."
Seiyu chuckled. "With how much I know them, they do not agree with you about this situation, do they?"
Inutaisho just shook his head and sighed. "No, I'm afraid they do not agree with me setting their matings."
"Well, my Daimyo, it has been hundreds, thousands of years and they need to have mates by now. They should have had mates hundreds of years ago."
"That's right indeed. Then they wouldn't be the man-whores they are today. They would have families with pups that I can spoil." He sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Seiyu, do you ever miss the sound of pups running around, laughing and giggling? Getting into trouble, then having to scold them? Then when they pout, you really think they're adorable and they just MIGHT get away with it?" He laughed.
"Sometimes, my Daimyo. But your pups are now grown up. And at this rate, I doubt you'll have grandpups to spoil anytime soon." He looked at his Daimyo who seemed to be in very deep thought. "My daimyo, please do not tell me you are thinking of mating again..."
"What?"
"You wish to mate again, do you not?" Seiyu asked knowing exactly what his Daimyo wanted to do.
Inutaisho nodded. "Sometimes I think about it. Then I can have young pups to spoil again, and raise them right. Better than I did in the past."
"My Daimyo, if you wish to mate, then mate."
"I do not think there is a potential mate out there for me."
"Why would you think that? There is somebody out there for everybody. If there is more for me, there is more for you."
"No. Nia and Izayoi were my lifemates. There couldn't possibly be a third out there for me."
Seiyu chuckled once more. "You never know. Your new mate could be right under your nose and you never know it until it's too late."
Inutaisho took all what Seiyu had said inside his head to think about later. But right now, since Seiyu had come to him, there was some business he must have come for in the first place.
"Tell me, Seiyu, is there a matter for which you have come to me?"
Seiyu nodded. He had almost forgot about the youkai and the girls."Yes, my daimyo. In the past 2 days, there have been a few dragon youkai attacks from the Northern Lands."
"Run by Naraku?"
"Yes, my Daimyo. But we do not believe Naraku is sending them out. You know Naraku my daimyo, he would send an army, not a few mediocre demons at a time."
He nodded. "You are right about that, Seiyu. I know Naraku too well for that to happen. I wonder if there is another that is sending them our way and for what reason."
Seiyu and Inutaisho began to think about the situation. Who could possibly be sending the youkai if it wasn't Naraku? And what could be so important in the Western Lands they would want to hunt here?
Seiyu gasped. "The Shikon no Tama."
"The Jewel of Four Souls?"
"Yes. It is guarded by a priestess here in the Western lands."
"Who is this Priestess?"
"Kagome Higurashi."
Inutaisho nodded. "If it is the Shikon Jewel they are after, it must have extra protection."
"You do not think that a priestess, two slayers and two nekos can handle it?"
"This is the Shikon Jewel we are speaking of, Seiyu. They are not enough."
"Perhaps, you could send a couple others to stay to guard the Shikon Jewel. Say Inuyasha and Sesshomaru?"
Inutaisho thought of Seiyu's suggestion. "My sons helping to guard the shikon jewel with 3 women...young women...I do not think that is an idea I wish to reach further into, Seiyu."
"Trust me, Daimyo Inutaisho, these girls are not the type to fall for seduction, charm or beauty. They were trained well and plus, the girls are slayers. They can take care of themselves."
Inutaisho nodded. "All right, Seiyu. Your idea is going to have to be a temporary solution until we figure out if it is the jewel they are after."
Seiyu nodded and stood. "Yes, My daimyo. Do you wish for me to alert your sons to the situation at hand?"
He nodded. "Yes, please do. And send them to the Shrine right away where jewel is protected."
"Yes, My daimyo." With that, he bowed and left the office.
Inutaisho was left to ponder about the jewel, the slayers, the youkai and...the priestess who is called Kagome Higurashi... 'Nice name she has...but I hope this is the right thing I am doing for my sons and these girls....because if this doesn't work out...my sons might get hurt...' He once again thought about what Seiyu had talked to him about earlier. 'Right under my nose, huh...'

-----------------The Higurashi Shrine----------------

It was almost time for the girls to have supper. They had just ridden in on their nekos about a half an hour earlier, Hitari pacing outside enough to leave a hole in the ground. Caty had ran inside the house to take a steaming hot shower to get the blood and gunk off of her.
"Hitari, where's my red blouse?" Kagome asked as she was going through her closet to get her evening wear, a simple t-shirt and shorts. When she was sifting through her clothes though, she found an article missing from her closet.
Hitari peeked into Kagome's room as she passed by. "It should be in there. I washed it with the other clothes just early this morning."
Kagome's eyes went wide. "Washed? Please don't tell me you put it in the dryer!"
"I didn't put it in the dryer." She stated simply.
Kagome sighed in relief. "Good. Where is it?"
Hitari looked to the side. She was mumbling incoherently that Kagome could not understand a single word coming from her mouth.
"Hitari, where is it?"
"..a...dyer..."
"Where?"
"I said it's in the dryer! Geez!" She walked away from Kagome's room. "Geez, why don't you start doing your own laundry then if you don't want me putting all the clothing in the wrong places!"
"I will!" She ran in the opposite direction to the laundry room where she opened the dryer, sifting through the clothes to find her blouse. Pulling it out, she saw that it was all linty and wrinkled and too small for her. Not to mention the color had faded somewhat. "Oh..." She was speechless. Not to mention rather shocked and angry at the same time. "HITARI!!!!" She was going to kill her.

Caty grabbed Kagome just in time as she was coming out of the bathroom in her pajama pants and tang top while brushing her semi-wet hair.
"Whoa, there, Kagome. What's going on?"
"Hitari put my red blouse in the dryer! And now look at it!" She held it up for the girl to see."
Caty made a face. "Egad! Not good!"
"No, duh!"
"I kept saying I was sorry, Kagome! What do you want me to do?"
"Buy me a new one!"
"Fine! I'll buy you a new one! And this time, you can wash your own clothes from now on!"
"Nobody ever asked you to do their laundry!" Kagome argued.
"Well, nobody's really here anymore! Just me! And I'm not gonna leave dirty and filthy things around this house! I keep this house cleaned! I cook! I clean! I do laundry! I even make your damn beds in the morning because it's just too disgusting to look at!!!"
Kagome growled. "I'll kill you!"
Caty pushed Kagome away and into the wall of the hallway leading into the kitchen. Kagome was in shock even more now.
"Kagome, calm down now!"
"Caty..."
"I'm tired of hearing you argue about something so stupid as a blouse! You have a million of them! And you can just buy a new one! Geez! Not like it's gonna cost a fortune! DUH!" She shook her head and continued brushing her hair. "Anyways, Hitari, what smells so delicious?"
Hitari stared over at Kagome mouthing 'I'm sorry' to her one more time.
"Um, it's sushi, rice balls, chicken teriyaki and a delicious iceberg salad."
"Mm....chicken teriyaki. Yummy. Haven't had that kind of food in awhile, Hitari."
"Well, I thought I would make you something to make you feel better from the several attacks in the past few days."
"Aw..." Caty smiled. "That's so sweet."
"Hey, Caty!" Sango called from the living room.
"Yeah?" She called back walking into the living room. "What's up?"
"Check this out." She was sitting on the couch in the living room while polishing up her hiraikotsu.
"What is it?"
Sango showed her the small crack made in Hiraikotsu. "That wasn't there before."
"You used it on the Dragon Youkai earlier today." She said.
Sango nodded. "Yeah. But Hiraikotsu is unbreakable unless it was a really strong metal or something that can crack it."
"Sango, dragon youkai don't have metal bodies."
"I know." Caty sighed. She had no idea where her friend was going with this. Instead, she went out of the living room to answer the door as she passed by it when somebody was knocking.

Caty opened the door revealing Seiyu. She smiled.
"Seiyu, what are you doing here?"
Seiyu smiled. "Might I come in to speak with you girls a few moments?"
Caty nodded. "Sure come on in."
Seiyu bowed and walked in. Two other inuyoukai, very young looking were following him.

Caty had called Hitari and Kagome into the living room.
"Seiyu, what's going on? Who are they?"
"You do not remember Daimyo Inutaisho's sons?"
"Heard about them, but never seen'em."
Inuyasha smirked. "We have plenty of girls who know about us. That's where you probably heard about us."
Caty raised an eyebrow. "Actually it was your father."
Sesshomaru was not really paying attention. All he was doing was facing away from the group with his arms folded across his chest and leg propped on another.
"So, what brings you three here?" Kagome asked.
"Well, I have spoken with Lord Inutaisho about these attacks and he believes they might be after the jewel."
"Shikon no tama?" Kagome asked. "Is he sure?"
"Yes. We believe that whoever is advancing with these attacks is going to come for it himself someday. So you might need extra protection for the jewel around just in case."
"What extra protection are we talking about here?"
"A barrier...a few sutras... a couple of the Daimyo's sons..."
"No way!" Hitari complained. "I've heard about these two! They're manwhores! They play around with girls' hearts! No way am I going to let that happen!"
"Well you ain't no spring chicken to us, girl! So you're safe."
Hitari stuck out her tongue and left the room.
"Hitari!" Sango ran after her friend.
Seiyu began speaking with Kagome about the temporary arrangements while Caty who was sitting across from Sesshomaru, was eyeing him. He stared straight back at her.
"Do you wanna fuck or something?" He asked straight out.
Caty blushed. "What?"
"Do you wanna fuck or something?"
"Why would you ask me that?"
He sighed. "If you don't wanna fuck, then quit staring at me like that."
"I'm not staring at you in any way."
"Admit it, you can't keep your eyes off me for one second."
"Yes, I can!" She turned her head away, but averted her eyes back to him.
"See? You can't do it."
She blushed crimson. "Um...oh crap! Seiyu, we'll take your idea but I gotta get out of here for now!" She ran out of the living room and Sesshomaru chuckled.
"She wants me."
Inuyasha chuckled himself and high-fived his brother. "This'll be a simple piece of cake."
Kagome glared at them while narrowing her eyes. "Hold on a second, Seiyu."
Seiyu nodded. "Of course, Kagome."
She stood up. "You listen to me and you listen good, you manwhores!"
"Ooh...feisty! I love that!" Inuyasha smirked trying to reach for her. She smacked his hand away. Sesshomaru hid his smirk. "What the hell did you do that for, bitch!"
"I'm not bitch! I'm Kagome! And you will keep your hands to yourself for the time you live in this house with us! This is a temporary living situation that me and th eother girls have to deal with so I suggest you boys get your act together! understand me!"
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru chuckled. Kagome just sighed disgustedly.
"Kagome, please forgive them for their actions, they know what they do."
Kagome smirked herself. "Don't worry about it. Sango and Caty aren't that stupid. Especially HItari. Since I saw the way she was when she heard about this, they are never gonna be able to break her."
"Well, I hope you realize this is not going to work out in the beginning."
Kagome nodded. "I realize that, Seiyu. I'm hoping that it is just a misunderstanding about somebody wanting the jewel."
He nodded. "Yes."
"So what'll happen while this is taking place?"
"Well, The Daimyo will contact Lord Naraku of the Northern Lands and report the forbidden dragon youkai attacks. Tell him about the tracing of them back to his lands. And if he is the one controlling them and after the shikon jewel, war will be waged."
Kagome nodded. "I understand."
"Well, I must go for now. The boys' things will be brought over later. I do hope you have enough room."
Kagome nodded. "Yeah. We have a couple extra bedrooms."
Seiyu bowed. "Good night, Lady Kagome."
"Good night, Seiyu. See you later."
He then left.

-----The kitchen----

"I do not think I will be able to tolerate them living here with us, Kagome." Hitari was pacing once again nervously.
"Hitari, don't worry. If they try anything, we'll make them sleep outside, all right? But for now, with the huge situation of the possible wanting of the shikon jewel that I am guarding and protecting, we need them and the extra protection we can get for now Okay? Remember, it is temporary. Not permanent."
Caty bit her lip. "I think Sesshomaru is kinda cute..." Going completely off topic.
"Caty, don't do this. Don't give in to him or his...charm. Even if it does sound exciting...and erotic." Hitari put in.
Caty squealed. "Oh, I just can't help myself. He's just so damn sexy. It's hard not to look at him. With the clothes they wear, you can tell they work out really good. Oh yeah. I have dreamed of having a guy with that body."
"So you really can't stop thinking about me, can you, slayer?" Sesshomaru asked.
The girls turned to see Sesshomaru and Inuyasha in the kitchen doorway.
"Did you want something?" Sango asked them.
"Yeah...we want something."
"What is it? If we have it, you can have it."
"We can have it?" Sesshomaru smirked.
Caty nodded. "Yeah." Completely being an idiot and forgetting who they were for a second.
"Okay. Sesshomaru and I want to fuck some girls. And you girls are perfect for that."
Caty and Sango gulped. Kagome just rolled her eyes. And Hitari fainted. The girls looked down to the kitchen floor.
"I guess this really was too much for Hitari."
Kagome and Caty nodded in agreement. "You can say that again, Sango."
The girls looked over at the guys. "You seriously need to become serious about this situation that is going on right now about the Shikon jewel."
Inuyasha pouted. "And you just ruined the mood."
Caty walked over to them and stuck out her tongue, doing a raspberry. "Oh, well."
Sesshomaru smirked. "How about I show you what I can do with my tongue?" He stuck it out and she saw it was rather long and looked rough.
She gulped. 'Definitely a dog's tongue. Kami that tongue is long! I wonder what he can really do with that tongue!' She blushed crimson. "Excuse me." She pushed past the two men who were just smirking and laughing at one another.
Kagome just smiled. 'I think life in this house is gonna be so much better...'
