Hello! I've been trying to update for, like a week, but these dang computers wont get past the login page! It won't even get to the login page!! Heh, so I've been typing up chapters so when I can finally upload, the readers will get more of the story quicker! Aren't I sweet?

Kurama: Yes, Yami, you are very sweet. ^_~

Yami: REALLY? *swoon* I like to think so...

Kurama: Ah, dear Yami, so modest. *hugs YamiNeko (me!!)*

Yami: Oh Kurama...

**both stare lovingly into each other's eyes**

Kurama: *kisses the crap out of Yami*

Yami: =^O___o^= Umm, I, uh, don't, er-um...

Kurama: YamiNeko does not own any of the Inuyasha (or YuYu Hakusho) characters.

Yami: Uh, yeah, what he said...
Chapter 3: Chance Meetings
~*~*~*~

Buyo dug his claws into the bird's back. The bird shrieked and flailed, managing to whop Buyo in the head. This gave the bird time to fly away with the squirrel. Defeated, Buyo slumped to the ground. He at least still had the cloth.

As night swept over Feudal Japan, Buyo found himself back in the tree nearest the hut. A branch wasn't as comfortable as a couch, but as long as he could see the feline of his dreams, he didn't much care.
*~*

Kirara sat snuggly by the still smoldering fire. It had been extinguished at least two hours ago, when everyone had gone to bed. For some reason, she could not find sleep. Her mind wandered to the window. 'That cat...' Kirara leapt up onto the windowsill and looked into the trees. He was there; she could smell him. She hopped out into the night and ran to the nearest tree. She peered up into the leaves and saw a paw dangling from a branch. 'He is here!' Kirara was excited to see another cat. She climbed quietly up the tree.
*~*

As Buyo lolled in and out of sleep, he heard a soft scratching noise. He imagined the female cat scratching at a clawing post alongside him. He could almost hear her purring softly as she nudged his head. 'I love you...'

"Meeew!!"

Buyo started and fell out of the tree. Kirara had tried to wake him, but instead pushed him off the branch. -Oh!! I'm so sorry!!- She mewed.

Buyo heard the sweet voice and looked up into the tree he was just in. 'It's her! It's HER!' Kirara jumped down effortlessly in front of Buyo. -Gomen nasai! I didn't mean to knock you down.- She apologized. Buyo stood up and shook himself. -It's quite alright, miss. I'm fine. Not the first time I fell out of a tree.- Buyo joked.

As he stood there, pondering his next word, the nearly forgotten cloth fell from the tree and landed on Buyo's head. Kirara sweatdropped. Shaking it off and picking it up again, Buyo laid the cloth at Kirara's feet. -Here. This is yours.- Kirara looked at the cloth and recognized it as the one Sango used to dry her fur with. Sango had given it to Kagome to "drie cleen" or something. 'how did he get it?'

Kirara took a step back. -Who are you?- she growled. Buyo was puzzled as Kirara took a defensive pose and bristled her fur. -Wait! I don't want to cause trouble! I am Buyo.- -Yes, I can see that! Now what is your name?! Where did you get Kagome's cloth?- Buyo face-faulted at the first statement. -My name is Buyo, and I live with Kagome! I am her, um, pet.- Buyo blushed. Kirara relaxed a bit. -You, you came through the well?- she was confused. -Why?- Buyo blushed a little more. -I, um, wanted to, heh, find you.- Buyo couldn't even meet her gaze. She probably thought he was some crazed alley cat trying to hunt her down. -Me??- Kirara was beyond baffled. No cat ever wanted to talk to her, since she was a demon. They were all afraid of her ever since she transformed one time in front of them and took down a large spider demon. She took a few steps closer to Buyo. -Domo arigatou, Buyo.- Buyo looked up. Was she thanking him? What on earth for? - Thank you for returning my cloth.- She licked him on the cheek, and, before he could recover, picked up her cloth and walked towards the hut. Buyo mewed -Wait! What is your name??- Kirara paused and turned around. She tore a long strip off the cloth and gave it to Buyo. -Kagome says you have to have something that ties you to this time to travel through the well.- She turned around again. -My name is Kirara. I hope you will visit again soon.- And with that, she was off again and into the hut.

Buyo sat there for a minute, remembering the beauty of her eyes, before heading back into the well. 'Kirara...'
