Since Yusuke had volunteered to give Katsu a bath, it seemed only natural that Genkai would take over. Her stupid student was too busy snickering while he leaned against the wall.
"I can't believe she actually listened to you, Grandma." He eyed the sudsy cat with a grin.
Genkai smirked as she rinsed the quiet cat. "Of course she did. She's not an idiot like you, Yusuke." Actually, the old psychic was quite proud of the cat, who was obviously a fighter according to Botan's description of "the poor, innocent dog."
"Yeah, yeah…so what's next? Botan was thinking about keeping the dog—"
Katsu started to hiss violently at his statement. If the blue-haired bitch even thinks about keeping that mutt I'll rip her fucking throat out! Not bothering to shield her thoughts, her message came loud and clear to psychic like Genkai.
"I don't think that keeping the dog would be such a good idea, Yusuke. Go tell Kuwabara to take Botan and the dog down to the animal shelter. I still have to dry Katsu." Genkai knew there was something more to this cat; she knew that some of the others knew as well. Watching her pupil leave, she gently removed the cat from the small tub and grabbed a towel, "Whoever you are, small one, I recommend you tell me now."
Rei froze. The old psychic's mind had somehow linked to hers; she could feel Genkai's presence in her subconscious. My name is Rei. I'm a Fire Spirit… Well, at least I was until I stole from the Makai Forest Guardian Moriko.
The old woman laughed, "You must be very clever or very foolish. Even I wouldn't steal from that old wolf. What did you take?"
Rei purred as Genkai began to dry her cat body. The clawed necklace made from the first Wolf God Moro. Even she didn't know why she stole it. Maybe it was the thrill of getting away with something so valuable. She grimaced inwardly; so much for getting away.
"I see. Tell me, little one; is this your punishment for stealing such a rare item?" Genkai had a feeling it had at least something to do with it.
Rei laughed; well, it actually sounded like she was coughing up a hairball, but it was still a laugh. In a way. I've stolen from Moriko-sama more than once. Try a couple hundred times to be exact.
Before Genkai could reply, Keiko walked into the room. "Oh, there you are. Yusuke said that you've taken in a cute little kitty cat." Rei wanted to rip out that girl's vocal chords and strangle her with it. Call me cute one more time and you won't be able to speak for the rest of your life, girly.
The old martial arts master's lips twitched to keep from laughing. "You heard right. So what's the reason for your little visit, Keiko-chan?" If only Keiko were more sensitive to the spirit world, then Genkai wouldn't have to warn her about the killer-intent rolling off the 'cute little kitty cat.'
"Well, I was just thinking…after finding out about the rabbit incident; I was thinking that I can take her to my Aunt's clinic. She's a veterinarian and can give her a shot in case she might have rabies."
Genkai kept her face as blank as possible and absently tightened her grip on Rei. Just the cat's aura that was spilling into the room radiated violence and slaughter. She knew that demons couldn't get diseases, but she didn't want to worry her concerned friend.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea. Why don't you hold her while I get Kurama to escort you?" Meaning, she had to get the fox to tranquilize Rei before they were all murdered by an extremely agitated fire-spirit-turned-cat.

Rei groggily opened her eyes and observed her surroundings. Last thing she remembered was Kurama petting her before POW! Lights out. From what she could tell, she was in a kennel and there were other animals in cages next to her. And to make it worse:
They.
Wouldn't.
Shut.
Up.
The Boston terrier across from her was clawing at the kennel door, begging to be let out. You promised me walkies! I need to go on walkies! The trees! The fire hydrants! THE PEOPLE! I HAVE TO GOOOOOOO!
Rei was secretly wishing that Kurama had knocked her out at least a little while longer.
A dog that resembled a mop—a Komondor, she believed was the name—just sat there looking stoned out of his mind. It didn't help when he started singing: Mr. Clean gets rid of dirt and grime and grease in just a minute, Mr. Clean will clean your whole house and everything that's in it. Mr. Clean. Mr. Clean. Mr. Cleeeeaaaaaaannnn!
Oh dear Kami, I'm in Hell, Rei moped to herself in misery. I'll take the damn rabies shot, just get me out…
Just then, an orange striped cat was brought in. This thing put up an even bigger fight against a ningen than Rei. It was yowling and caterwauling to the heavens above: FUCK YOU, MEOW MIX! I MADE THAT SONG POPULAR! NO ONE RETIRES ME! NO ONE! YOU PROMISED ME CHICKEN AND LIVER, DAMN YOU! BUT YOU DIDN'T DELIVER!
One minute Rei was simply staring and the next she was rolling around on the newspaper laughing her lungs out. She used to love the Meow Mix jingle; it bugged the crap out of all her friends in Makai.
She was snapped out of her reverie by one of the rabbits a few kennels down. She hadn't realized that he too was singing, but as she listened the rest of kennels went silent.
I've been really tryin', baby. Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long. And if you feel like I feel, baby. Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon. Let's get it on.
Shut up, Romeo! A mouse squeaked from near the door. Take your sick perversions somewhere else!
Rei couldn't believe her ears. Two of the most populating of all creatures were throwing a hissy fit over…making…babies..?
Non, non! Zey are going about eet all wrong! O-kay…so which animal was speaking French now? 'Oo have to do eet zee prop-air way!
The what and what? The English-speaking majority of the kennels asked.
"Ah, you must be Keiko's little friend." Rei was saved from further atrocities by the arrival of Keiko's aunt. "I was busy earlier so I couldn't get to you right away. Come on, kitty." Unlocking the kennel, the ningen gently pulled Rei out and took her to an examination room where her 'friends' were waiting.
