Neighbor Wars by MissTeak

Hello Neighbor!

I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters, and neither do I make profit of any sort from writing this.

A/N: Hello everyone! I recently discovered the joys of writing short snippets (Much thanks to Chibimaru and his adventures), and came up with this storyline here. It's actually pretty fun writing on the iPhone while I commute to work - one chapter per day or two is actually an attainable goal! Yay.

Without further ado, I welcome you to read my new story,

Hello Neighbor!

It all began on a lovely Sunday morning when the gentle sunshine bathed the streets of Sannomiya, Kobe in soothing warmth. Balmy summer breezes brought comfort to the concrete jungle, and summer blossoms were in full bloom along the streets.

It was the sort of setting where one could don a pretty floral sundress and dance in circles on the asphalt.

Higurashi Kagome was in a very good mood.

Someone new was moving into the apartment next to hers, and she was hoping for the person to turn out normal.

It was not too hard to be normal, considering how the previous tenant had been the typical Japanese otaku who locked himself in the apartment all day fantasizing about video game heroines and practically worshipping plastic figurines of buxom anime babes in all shapes, sizes and tantalizing poses. As if that wasn’t disturbing enough, they came in removable, maid, policewoman, nurse and sailor uniform and –God forbid- matching panties.

Kagome had thought it to be hilarious, until that closet perv decided to ‘admire’ her through a hole in the wall they shared.

Then she had retaliated by practically barging into his apartment room to threaten to burn his Mimiko-chan, Nami-chan, Ai-chan and whatnot into bits.

Thankfully, that nightmare was over. The abovementioned otaku had fled with his posse of plastic darlings.

It was time to say hi to her new neighbour.

Walking over to the door beside hers, she pressed on the doorbell.

“Nice to meet you, I am Higurashi Kagome!” She chirped brightly when the door opened, before bowing customarily with her enormous cat Buyo in her arms.

Then she heard a low, rumbling doggy growl.

Then a snarl. A fearsome, kitty snarl which promised endless chaos.

Damn!

The sluggish, overweight creature in her arms had suddenly become charged with a power she never knew it possessed.

It struggled violently, meowing viciously before springing out of her arms to fly in the direction of the unfortunate victim standing right at the door.

“No, Buyo, no!!”
