Katrina sat at her desk with an odd look of well…concentration. Katrina sighed and picked up her pencil and balanced it on her nose. Katrina yawned and walked to the balcony. She looked down and around. She was alone. Katrina breathed in deep and jumped from her third story balcony. Katrina landed on a giant trampoline. "Whew" Katrina jumped and ran to Jessica's house.
Katrina was a thin girl of about 19 and she had longish black hair tied back by a piece of cloth. Jess on the other hand had dark brown hair that was always up in a ponytail and she always had a red headband. Both girls had one ear pierced and each had ¼ of a shard in their ear.
Jessica looked out of her balcony to see Katrina climbing up the rose wall. "Hey Kat, what's up?" Jess stared at Katrina as she hoped into Jess's room.
"Nothing I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to the feudal era with me, go see our past selves again." Katrina raised an eyebrow at Jess when she smiled like an idiot, "And please, no hitting on my past self."
Jess looked hurt. "Why would I hit on your past self? He's the one hitting on me!"
"I know and he knows I can read his mind." Katrina laughed and picked up a mesh bag and smiled because it held everything they always take to feudal Japan. "So are we gunna go?"
"Got nothing better to do."
"Ok then" Katrina walked to the window and jumped down. "Come on Jess" Katrina started running to the old abandoned shrine. "Hey Jess" Katrina said as she slowed to a stop infront of the shrine.
"Yeah Kat?" Jessica said turning to look at Katrina.
"Do you think...maybe we could buy the shrine?" Katrina sighed as she walked over to the well.
"I guess so." Jess said as she brushed her hand throe her hair.
"Well let's go I will toss the ladder down so we can take it with us" Katrina jumped down the well with a ladder in her hands.
Jess jumps into the well, hoping Miroku doesn't grope her this time.
Katrina ended up siting on the ladder when Jess went throe the well. "Why do you always take five minutes to get here?" Katrina yawned
"Your problem not mine love" Katrina said as she fixed her hair.
"Yeah, I know."
Katrina grabbed her bag and wandered down the trail.
Jess followed her, looking at all the scenery.
Katrina jumps on Miroku "MINE" Katrina snickers when Miroku twitched until he found out whom had 'jumped' him.
Jess laughs at Kat's antics
"Keep your hands to your self man unless you want to lose them" Katrina glared at Miroku's hand as he tried to feel her up.
Jess looks around. "Where's Kouga at?"
"Two point five miles throe the forest and in his den" Katrina sat on the ground with her laptop playing Sims.
Jess looks at Kat. "You are extremely strange, did you know that?"
"What that I am smart and hyper at the same time" Katrina looked up and smiled at Jess.
"Yes." Jess said as she looked around for InuYasha.
"I am going to visit Koga. Please refrain from almost killing Inu Yasha again" Katrina sped towards Koga's den.
Jess pouts. "Ruin my fun, why doncha!"
Katrina sped and she reached Koga's den but she smelled fresh blood and a new scent in the den.
Jess glares at Miroku. "Don't even think about it."
Miroku held up his hands innocently. "Don't think of what?" he said slyly.
"Don't even think of doing what you usually do." Jess glared at Miroku.
Miroku sighed and sat on the porch of Keade's hut. Jess smirked.
"Koga? Are you-" Katrina gasped when she saw Koga in bed with another wolf demon. Katrina let out a growl and walked out.
Jess sat down on the grass, a good distance from Miroku.
Katrina ran top speed straight throe the forest and stopped infront of Jess. "WHY, WHY did he do that to me!!!" Katrina yelled at Jess.
"What did who do?" Jess looked confused.
"Why did Koga find a mate?" Katrina fell to the ground and looked at the sky.
Jess's eyes went wide. "He found a mate?"
Katrina growled "he was sleeping with a female wolf demon when I got there" Katrina closed her eyes and counted to twenty and back.
"I'm sure he's just being a player." Jessica suggested
"Wolf demons take a mate for life" Katrina sat up and walked into the forest of despair.
"That doesn't mean anything!" Jess shouted after Katrina.
Katrina glared daggers at Jessica. "Well you tell me what he is feeling when I get in there and chew him out later-" Katrina twitched and hit Miroku with her laptop when he groped her. "I said don't EVER do that to me"
Jess sighed and shook her head. Miroku just lay on the ground twitching. "Ok I don't think he will try anything for a week" Katrina hissed at Miroku and went off to find Inu Yasha.
Jess looked around at the Inu-tachi. "Why me?" she whined.
Katrina walked over to Inuyasha and threw a box at him. "What was that for Bitch" Inuyasha screeched at Katrina. "Stress relief, your an easy target" Katrina hmphed and sat down.
Jess wandered away from everyone else, avoiding Kat and Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru and Rin walked from the forest of despair. "JESS" Rin ran to Jess. "How are you?" Jess smiled at the little girl. "Hey Rin. I'm fine" Sesshoumaru just watched from a distance "So Rin, did you have fun while we were gone?"
"Yeah Sesshoumaru-sama defeated so many demons" Rin went off into telling Jess of how great Sesshoumaru is. Jess smiled and listened politely. She enjoyed hearing about the demons Rin encountered. Katrina and InuYasha were at each other's thoughts when both of them heard Koga coming.
Jess noticed Sesshoumaru out of the corner of her eye. Was he watching her?
Katrina and InuYasha glared daggers at Koga. "What do you want" both of them snapped at the same time at Koga.
Jess smiled and hugged Rin when the girl had finished her stories.
Koga looked hurt "what's the matter Katrina?"
"You" Katrina stalked off in search of Jess.
"Rin, where's Jaken?" Jess asked Rin.
"Sesshoumaru-sama says he left..." Rin looked over as Sesshoumaru and then sees Katrina coming over.
"JESSICA" Katrina screamed.
Jess looks up. "Yes?"
"Koga is here" Katrina stormed right past her and into the forest for some stress relief by killing some demons. Jess cringed.
A few screams of demons and a lot of blood latter Katrina came out of the forest drenched in demon blood. "Still don't feel better but at least there goes some tension...What are you looking at" Katrina glared at the group as they sweatdropped.
Jess stood up and went to pick some flowers.
Katrina sat on the rooftop and typed in her laptop journal. 'Yeah we are in feudal Japan again, yeah I know I said I hate this place but I have grown to love it. Oh and guess what? I caught Koga with a female wolf demon, I am not mad that he slept with her, it is just that he mated to her I saw the marks, well I have to go now I will write more later' Katrina turned off her laptop. She sighed.
Jess walked towards a bush full of white roses. "Wow," she breathed, "I didn't know these grew here."
"They are very beautiful this time of year," a smooth voice said from behind Jess. Jess jumped and turned around. Sesshoumaru stood behind Jess.
Jess breathed a sigh of relief. "You startled me," she said with a slight smile.
Sesshoumaru was looking straight at Jess, "You know I was talking about you"
Jess stared at him. A slight blush crept onto her cheeks.
Sesshoumaru looked at the village then back at Jess. "You know we have a couple of hours till I must make sure Rin is asleep," Sesshoumaru said as he picked a white rose for Jess.
Jess looked down, blushing furiously now.
Katrina and Koga were walking and talking till they saw Sesshoumaru and Jess. "Wanna spy on them?"
'What's going on?' Jess thought, 'Why do I feel so strange? I feel weak... like I could faint at any moment...'
Koga shook his head. "I don't wanna interrupt them."
Katrina bound out of the field and glomped Jess. "Hey hope I wasn't interrupting anything"
Jessica looked almost relieved. "No, Kat, you weren't interrupting anything. We were just talking."
Sesshoumaru looked disappointed for a second then put his normal 'I-don't-care' look back on.
Jessica looked at him curiously, but not so obviously that anyone would notice. Had he wanted to say something?
"Anyway I cordially invite you to me and Kikyo's banquet." Katrina smiled and then waved. "I can read your mind peoples so I can tell I interrupted something so I will be leaving" Katrina ran back down to Koga.
Jess stared after her strange friend. "Oh yeah. She's crazy."
Sesshoumaru looked down then at Jessica "Would you to this banquet as...my date?"
Jess looked at Sesshoumaru, the blush returning. "Uh, sure. I-I'd love to."
"I shall be off to get Rin then" Sesshoumaru walked back to the village.
Jess stared after him. "What just happened?" she whispered to no one.
Katrina and Kikyo sat in a tree planing the banquet for that night. Katrina and Kikyo walked to a secluded field and started setting up for the banquet.
Jess held the rose Sesshoumaru had given her, and headed back towards the village to find Kat.
After about two hours Katrina and Kikyo finished setting up and decorating. "Wow and to think we are going to tell everyone tonight" Kikyo smiled and braided Katrina's hair "Yes I think they will all be surprised to hear the news"
Jess walks in. "Kat, I need your help."
"What is it Jess" Katrina says as she lets Kikyo braid her hair.
Jess looks at Kikyo. "Um, it's kinda not something I really want anyone to know about."
"Ok, I will be right back Kikyo" Katrina said hugging Kikyo and taking Jess to her hut. "What do ya wanna talk about?" Katrina said all of the sudden serious.
Jess blushed slightly. "It's about Sesshoumaru..."
"Ah, what do you want? You can tell me anything" Katrina leaned against the wall.
Jess looked at the white rose in her hands. "Well, he asked me top be his date for the banquet tonight, and I said yes."
"So is there a point to this? Do you want me to whip you up a magical gown like for the dance at school?" Katrina smiled remembering the dance.
Jess smiled, remembering the event. "No," she said, "I just don't know what happened. He asked me out, and my mouth moved by itself."
"You like him so your heart took over because your brain shut down" Katrina glanced at the door, then at Jessica.
Jess blinked twice. "How did you know I like him?"
"Look I may ACT like an idiot but that doesn't mean I am one" Katrina rolled her eyes and stood up. "Are we done I have a date with Kikyo for making dresses and other things."
Jess smirked. "Thanks for your help Kat."
Katrina smiled and pointed to her bag "if you do care for a 'magical' dress check my bag I might have what you're looking to wear in there" Katrina walked out of the hut and back to the forest.
Jess looked in the bag and pulled out a silver dress. It went to her ankles and had long sleeves. It was tied around the waist with a silver sash. Golden thread was woven in intricate designs all over the dress. "Thank you Kat," Jess whispered.
"So what was that about?" Kikyo smiled at Katrina when she walked back and sat infront of Kikyo with her hair down.
"Nothing big she just wanted a dress" Katrina smiled.
A few hours later Katrina stood infront of the forest holding Kikyo's hand and waiting for everyone. Jess headed towards Kat. Her hair was left hanging around her shoulders, instead of the usual ponytail.
"Nice touch sexy," Katrina said winking at Jess.
Jess rolled her eyes.
Miroku came over to them wearing a tux. "Hello ladies"
Jess glared at him. "Don't even think about it, monk."
Katrina smiled as slowly everyone showed up. "Hey look there is Sess"
Jess blushed slightly and turned around.
Sesshoumaru walked over and kissed Jessica's Cheek. "You look stunning"
Jess blushed even more. "Thanks. You look great."
Katrina smiled and linked arms with Kikyo and walked into the banquet together since they didn't want to get dates.
Jess looks at the ground.
Sesshoumaru took Jess's hand. "Shall we go?"
Jess looked up and smiled. "Alright."
Katrina and Kikyo smiled because Katrina managed to get a power box with enough energy to have a dance floor working. Jess looked around the room. 'They definitely went all-out for this.'
Katrina and Kikyo stood by the tables. Katrina wore a stunning black velvet dress that had a quilted front panel with lace detail on each side, small D-ring eyelets and a black ribbon closure. Kikyo was standing next to Katrina wearing a beautiful ivory dress has three ribbon corset front panels, one back panel, a satin bottom with mesh overlay and mesh sleeves.
Jess looked over at Kat and Kikyo. She smiled nervously.
Katrina nodded to Jess. Koga sat as far from InuYasha as possible. "Why did she want me here..." Koga said with a sigh.
Jess glanced at Sesshoumaru. 'Why did he invite me?'
Katrina walked over to the dance floor and picked up a Mic. "I would like to see the first people who want to dance on the floor, If you want to try out for the dance contest latter then you should come over here and get a form"
Jess looked over at Kat, then left Sesshoumaru to get a form.
Katrina pointed to Sesshoumaru to come over. "What?" Sesshoumaru was watching Jess. "You know Jess like you, and I know you like her so kiss her Mister Demon" Katrina grinned.
Jess, oblivious to the world around her at the moment, finished filling out the form. She turned around and walked over to Sesshoumaru and Kat
Sesshoumaru was about to say something until Jess showed up. "Would you like to be the first two to go on the floor?" Katrina wiggled her eyebrows at them
Jess blushed slightly, and looked up at Sesshoumaru.
"If Jessica wishes to go I will" Sesshoumaru looked casually down and Jess.
Jess smiled. "Alright. Then let's go."
Katrina Put on a song called Flashback by TriDestiny, which made Jessica smile.
Sesshoumaru danced with grace and leaned over and kisses Jessica on the lips.
Jess turned bright red.
'What's going on? Does he really like me?'
Katrina giggled when Kikyo hugged her "Want to dance next?" Kikyo said to Katrina with a smile.
"Yes I would" Katrina laughed as the song that was playing ended.
"Hey Jess slip him some tongue," Katrina said into the Mic.
Jess pulled away and glared death at Kat. "Do you have any clue how gross that is?"
Everyone clapped at their dancing. "Next up Me and My date, Kikyo" Katrina had turn on the song all night by Janet Jackson.
Katrina and Kikyo danced around with ease.
Jess watched, still agitated at what Kat had said, and still blushing furiously.
Sesshoumaru took Jess's hand and walked off into the woods with her to continue what was started...
Jess looked back at the banquet. She had a strange feeling. She felt her stomach sink slightly.
Katrina and Kikyo finished their dance and Kat looked around for Jess. 'Jess?'
Kat,' Jess thought, 'Where are you?'
Katrina concentrated and rushed after Jess and Sesshoumaru. "Umm uh Hey guys it is your turn for the Dance contest" Katrina looked at both of them sending Jess warning glances.
Jess looked at Kat. Her eyes clearly saying 'thank you'. "Then let's go back." She headed for the banquet.
Katrina smiled to Jess. "Would you like to barrow a party dress I have...a few" Katrina smiled at Jess.
Jess smiled back. "No thanks. I'll be fine in this dress.
"Are ya sure I have some semi-long dresses that Sesshoumaru might like" Katrina giggled
Jess glared at Kat. "I'll be fine."
"Ok I am going to change into my dress" Katrina walked into the village to her hut.
Jess waited outside for her. She didn't exactly want to be alone with Sesshoumaru at the moment. Katrina walked out in a black strap dress with an intricate design of purple hearts and swirls, pleated Purple and green plaid flounce hem and grommet tape details on the seams, the dress reached her knees.
"Is this good?" Katrina smiled.
Jess smiled. "Cute."
"Thanks oh and I found this if you want to change." She held up a silver dress with a spiderweb mesh front panel and bottom overlay, red ribbon gathers on the front and back, adjustable shoulder straps.
Jess smiled and took the dress. "Wait here, okay?" 'I don't want to be caught by myself.'
"Sure" Katrina stood and pulled her bag from the inside of the door, she pulled out a pair of boots from the bag and pushed the bag back inside. The boots were black and went up to her calves. The boots had purple and green flames on them.
A few minutes later, Jess emerged from the hut, wearing the dress Kat had chosen. Her silver ankle boots were now visible.
"Nice hot stuff" Katrina did the two snaps and blew a kiss. "Your looks can kill babe"
Jess rolled her eyes. "Quit trying to make me feel better. I still have a bad feeling about what would've happened if you hadn't come when you did."
"Wait here I have the perfect thing to Finnish the outfit" Katrina went into the hut and rummaged thou her bag. Katrina walked out with her prized beautiful necklace with a metal, silver and gold mesh butterfly with black gems on a black, beaded chain and a shorter, gun metal chain.
"Here it is perfect" Katrina put the necklace on Jess. "If you loose this I will murder ya" Katrina winked and headed off. Jess headed back to the banquet, mentally thanking Kat for her help. Katrina sat down and rested for a minute.
"Can I...Have this dance?" Koga said as he stood next to Katrina.
Katrina looked around for Jess mentally begging for help.
Jess walked in and looked around. She spotted Kat and made her way over.
"Um" Katrina spotted Jess. "I dunno..."
Jess noticed Kat's situation immediately. 'Just say yes!'
"Well...Ok" Katrina took Koga's hand and sent a mental thanks to Jess.
Jess smiled and sat down.
Katrina and Koga took the Dance floor by storm, With Koga's Enhanced speed and Katrina's Natural Speed they took the fast dancing easily.
After about 3 hours of dancing everyone was tired.
Jess slumped into her chair, after dancing with Sesshoumaru for the past two hours.
Miroku came over and sat next to Katrina he had just danced with Sango for the past hour and a half and was dead tired, He was too tired to even cop a feel on Katrina.
Katrina jumped and slapped Miroku "QUIT THAT" Miroku smiled,
Katrina glanced and InuYasha and Koga who were...TALKING?!?
Jess looked around. Miroku grinning like an idiot, Kat staring at Inuyasha and Kouga, who were chatting, Sango getting some punch, where had he gone to?
A few minutes later Koga was at the Mic and Katrina were still wondered what the hell was happening.
Jess stopped looking for Sesshoumaru and looked up at Kouga. Was he going to...?
"I have something to say" Koga said into the Mic. Katrina twitched and watched as she sat down.
Jess grinned broadly.
"Katrina...Will you...Marry me" Koga said as he actually turned red.
"I knew it!" Jess whispered.
Katrina literally fell over. "Ah shit, um" everyone was staring at her.
Jess helped Kat up.
Katrina looked at Jess then at Koga and back. 'WHAT DO I DO...Oh my god'. "You...Me...Marry...now?" Katrina's mind yelled at her 'That was smart cant even making a coherent sentence'.
Jess grinned at her. 'Say yes, already! Everyone knows you like him!'
"YEAH" Katrina ran over and hugged Koga
"They make such a cute couple." Jess said with a smile.
Katrina gasped when she saw what Koga had in his hand.
Koga had in his hand a ring with "Real Love is forever" engraved on it.
Sesshoumaru smiled and got down on one knee infront of Jess.
Jess blinked. 'Him too?'
"Will you be my mate?" Sesshoumaru said as Rin sat watching him.
Jess turned bright red. 'Kat, what do I do? My voice is gone!'
Katrina sighed and walked over hanger herself all over Jess. "She accepts" Katrina smiled. Katrina then went and picked up Rin "Would you like to dance since I haven't seen you dance all night."
Jess smiled at Kat. Rin grinned but Katrina felt a pull on her dress. "Can I dance with Rin?" Shippo ask with a cute child like smile. "Rin would you like to dance with Shippo?" Katrina set Rin down on the ground.
"Sure" Rin and Shippo went and danced.
Katrina and Koga Kissed then separated to go to their separate ways. "Shit Jess we have been here for two weeks we missed out exams"
"What? We missed the exams again?"
"Oh well we wont be going back anyway" Katrina said as she picked up some of her stuff and stuck it in her hut.
Jess gave Kat a confused look. "We'll have to go back every once in a while."
"I cant you know my family" Katrina looked at the ground.
Jess nodded. "I know, but I'll have to go back."
"I will stay here the only thing I am going back for is my spell books and a few other things" Katrina smiled and then looked around. "Just think we will be getting married...Me at 19 and you at 18" Katrina giggled.
Jess froze. "My mom's gonna kill me..."
"She doesn't have to know..." Katrina said as she picked up her bags and a few Vases to sell at high prices.
"She has ways of finding out." Jess said with a sigh.
"Well anyway I am going to take a risk by doing a spell for my own sake to stay with Koga..." Katrina said as she pushed her hair behind her pointed ears.
"Oh yeah. This proves that you're crazy!"
"Hey don't forget that your the only person in the world that knows I am a demon so NYA" Katrina with a sudden maturity stuck out her tongue.
