Chapter 2, people. Enjoy.

InuYasha made his way to the village. He asked Kaede and the others if they've seen Kagome. Nothing.

"Dammit!"shouted InuYasha."Where is she?"

At that same moment, the cat comes into the house. Everyone pays it little mind except InuYasha.

"Didn't I tell you to go home? Why do you keep following me?"he shouted. It simply rubbed against him. Shippo snickered.

"What the Hell's so funny?"he asked.

"Oh nothing. Just that you can't scare a little cat." Shippo responded. InuYasha grew angry at once.

"Oh yeah? Well I bet I scare you!"he said swinging at Shippo. Shippo shreiked and hid behind Sango. InuYasha began chased Shippo over the house. Just then, the cat hissed at him, and he collapsed once more. He got up and shook his head.

"I don't get it. I keep crashing down but Kagome isn't anywhere." InuYasha said. The cat was staring him down. InuYasha flung his hand at it to scare it off. Instead, it hissed again, and InuYasha crashed into the ground again. The others seemed quite puzzled by this. Kaede, however, picked it up and looked closely into its eyes. The cat stared right back.

"This is Kagome"she said. Everyone else stared in dis belief. What on earth did Kaede mean?

"What the Hell do you mean, old woman? You mind leaving you in old age?"ask InuYasha. Kaede ignored him and took a Jewel Shard from her sash.

"How'd you get that"demanded InuYasha. She said nothing, but started to move the Jewel Shard right to left. The cat followed each time.

"It is you. But how could he have returned?" Kaede spoke.

"You've got some explaining to do, old woman" InuYasha said. True enough, the others expressions spoke too clearly that they too wanted to know what she knew.

"Indeed, I do. Long ago, there was a strange demon from a distant land. His name was not known, but in these lands, he called himself Munimusti, and he was crowned king of the cat demons for his remarkable power. Any who were touched by one of his long nine tails would be cursed to become a cat." Everyone was in shock, except InuYasha, who looked annoyed.

"An' how exactly do you know this, old woman."

"Because"started Kaede"I encountered him once as a child." InuYasha finally looked puzzled aswell.

"He sought the Shikon Jewel, like many other demons. I was struck by one of his tails and turned like Kagome. However, Kikyo severed the tail he struck me with, and I returned at once."

"So, how come Kagome is acting like a cat?"asked InuYasha as Kagome rubbed against him purring.

"My transformation was brief, however Kagome has clearly been in this state for a time"she responded."Perhaps the longer one is in this state, the more one behaves and becomes as a cat."

They all sit there silently. Then, InuYasha stands up.

"I'm going to find him, and put an end to this."

"How will you find him?"asked Sango.

"You all stay here. Shippo, you're in charge of Kagome til I get back."

"Let us help-"Miroku began, but InuYasha was already gone. Kagome began to follow him, but Shippo began to caller her.

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty"he called. She turned at once and walked back to him. He pet her a few times, then Kaede put a piece of fish infront of her. As she ate, Sango stood up.

"Lady Kaede, why did InuYasha want us to stay here?" she asked.

"Sango, ye are a skilled demon slayer, but even the most seasoned slayer will fall prey to his curse. A single touch will change any human into a cat, and you are no different, nor you Miroku. I can only hope InuYasha may have the strength to defeat him. He clearly has skills far beyond that curse of his..."
