Summary: Miroku is transformed into a cat, and Sango finds him. Will she ever find out it's him? Will he ever be returned to a human?
"Normal speech" 'Thoughts' ::Miroku's thoughts::
------------------
Sango was thrown to the ground as the team fought off the vicious cat demon. Recovering immediately, she hurled her Haraikotsu at the beast, receiving a threatening hiss as the large boomerang came in contact with the demons forehead. Miroku lunged at the monster and smacked it on the nose to draw attention away from InuYasha, who was preparing his Wind Scar attack.
The monster definantly paid attention to Miroku; it swiped and scratched him across the stomach. Miroku fell to the hard ground clenching his wound, Sango ran to his side to make sure he was alright. He was hurt pretty bad, blood seeped from the deep wound. Miroku coughed, closing his eyes and rolling away from Sango.
InuYasha was done destroying the demon; Kagome had gathered the two Shikon jewels. The two walked over to find Sango with tears in her eyes and a hand on Miroku's shoulder. Miroku's breathing was labored, he was surrounded in a pool of blood. Kagome put a hand on Sango's shoulder.
Miroku wheezed, "Take... me..." he coughed and his body shook with what was most likely pain, "home." He closed his eyes again and Sango's fingers tightened on his shoulder.
She whispered--where it was inaudible to the hanyou, the school girl, or the kitsune--, "Don't leave me." A warm tear dripped from her cheek and fell to the dusty ground.
------------------
Miroku's drunk master took Miroku, shaking his head at the shape he was in. He motioned for InuYasha--the only one strong enough to carry Miroku--to bring Miroku to a bed, without saying a word. Nobody said anything, except Kagome whispered that her and the group would be returning tomorrow.
At camp that night, Kagome didn't know what to say to Sango. There was an eerie feeling that cloaked the night. Whenever Kagome attempted to make Sango feel better it felt awkward. Kagome felt that getting Sango's hopes up was a pointless cause. Shippou was instructed by Kagome to leave Sango alone.
Sango didn't sleep well, she couldn't stop having nightmares...
--Dream--
Sango laughed and playfully pushed Miroku.
The scene changed abruptly and they were back in the village where they had destroyed the cat demon. It was dark and everything was eluminated in crimson red. There were felines everywhere, and they were walking toward the monk. One jumped on his chest and he fell back. Then a few more pounced on Miroku. Then, without warning, the cats started clawing at him. Sango tried to run but she couldn't move. When she looked down she was glued to the floor with blood. She screamed but nothing came out. She reached for her Hiraikotsu but it was missing. She tried to scream. Only a hollow squeak came out. The cat's hissing and angry meows echoed through the town, along with Miroku's pain-filled screams.
--End Dream--
Sango sat up in a cold sweat, tears streaming down her cheeks. She pulled her knees against her chest and trembled. She almost screamed when Kilala walked over and nuzzled her shoulder.
The rest of the night was filled with horrid dreams, but none quite as terrifying as the first.
When the morning sun finally started rising over the horizon, Sango had gotten about an hour of sleep. She was jealous of the sun, that it could be so bright and continue it's normal routine with no hesitation.
Sango went to wash her face in the nearby spring, and wait for the others to wake up.
------------------
The group arrived at the hut in the early morning. They were sure Miroku's master wouldn't be drunk this early...
They were wrong.
The drunkard ran out, hysterically yelling, "He turned into a cat! A kitty cat!" He seemed very stressed out about the situation as he ran off into the woods.
"What's he talking about?" InuYasha lifted an eyebrow.
"Crazy drunk..." mumbled Shippou, who was perched on the dog demon's shoulder.
They walked inside--well, Sango ran. She found, where Miroku was last night, a pile of clothes.
Sango kneeled next to the pile, tears welling in her eyes. 'Where is he?'
The clothes moved and Sango jumped. Kagome and InuYasha had stopped at the doorway to give Sango some room.
Sango pulled at the clothes and something black and furry wiggled out. Sango screamed as a kitten poked it's face from the center of clothing. She crawled back, scared this was another nightmare.
The small black cat stepped toward her, his big eyes blinking.
"Get back, you monster!" Sango scooted further away from the tiny feline.
"MEOW!" the kitten sqeaked. It seemed shocked. It inspected it's paws, tail and looked cross-eyes at it's tiny pink nose. It freaked out, hissing and scratching at it's own tail.
::What happened?! Why do I have a tail? Am I dreaming?:: Miroku thought to himself. ::This can't be happening!::
Sango blinked as the tiny creature mewed and fell over from trying to capture it's tail.
Kagome, InuYasha, and Shippou were as confused as Sango.
Sango thought maybe the drunkard had taken the courtesy of burying the monk... but what's with the kitten? Some sick joke?
"Maybe he left," InuYasha suggested.
"To go where?" Kagome tilted her head.
The kitsune added, "And without his clothes?"
Sango laughed, "This is Miroku we're talking about." She couldn't take her eyes off the tiny kitten, and it stared back at her.
'Those eyes... they're so familiar...' Sango shook it off as a coincedence.
Sango wiped a tear from her eye and stood up. She turned around with a fake smile, "Well, we should get going."
"But what about the kitten?" Kagome looked at the tiny creature. "The drunkard won't take care of it."
"Let's keep him!" Shippou chimed in cheerfully.
"I don't want a cat..." Sango glanced at the ground.
