Prologue - Kirara

At first, the only thing I knew was that I was cold. A chill wind whipped across my bare skin, making me curl up tighter and shiver, my arms wrapped tight over my chest. How did the humans keep warm without fur? This was the first time in my life I had ever been without a warm fur coat. I still had some fur, of course – on my head. It was thick, curly, and cream-colored, and fell randomly over my body. It wasn't much help, of course. I was still naked, and still pretty damn cold.

There was nothing I could do, though. All my life I'd been a two-tailed cat demon. My mistress, Sango, would keep me warm if I was cold. I was small enough to curl up on her shoulder when I was tired and big enough to carry her when she was tired. So finding myself a human might very well have been the greatest shock of my life. Next to finding out about Kohaku and all, but Sango had ranted and cried about that so much to me I never wanted to hear the words 'Kohaku', 'Naraku' and 'Damn', 'to', 'hell' in the same sentence ever again. I guess that's why I took up that demon's offer to turn me into a human. I could talk, and tell the group how I really felt.

I raised a paw in front of my face – but then reminded myself it wasn't called a paw, it was called a hand. It had claws though, like Inuyasha's, and black triangular markings wrapped around my arms and my legs. I guess I was still a demon, just in human form. As I flexed the fingers slowly, it took me a while to put together my memories about why the heck I was here at all, naked, alone, and a human.

And the first thing I remembered about today was that while me and the gang were hunting youkai, I finally snapped.
