Chapter 2, Trees, Dinner, and Kouga.
Inuyasha said goodbye to Kagome and Kouga, they were going to go to the village to see Kaede. Kagome insited on going at least once a week, and she always insisted on bringing Kouga.They always came back really late and Inuyasha didn't think that they spent all their time with Kaede. You see everytime Inuyasha had talked to Kaede she had said that her lunches with Kagome and Kouga were always nice. Any time Inuyasha had asked how the rest of their day went together she always asked him what he meant, they always had lunch and then Kagome and Kouga left.
'Oh well, who cares what they do. They should have their own hut anytime now.' Inuyasha had the sudden urge to go and strangle Kouga. He could barely keep from loseing control as Kouga wrapped his arms around Kagome. Finally Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore.He got up and stormed off through the trees. Kagome and Kouga sprang apart as Inuyasha pushed past them.
"Well Kouga... Maybe we should go now... if we don't Kaede will worry." Kagome wondered what had put Inuyasha into such a bad mood. She looked over at the girl laying against the tree off to the side.

Once Inuyasha got away from the camp site he didn't know what to do he had no where to go.
''AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Inuyasha jumped as a scream rang in the backround.
******************
Kat stood holding a squirming and pleading Shippo, Miroku was laying on the ground in a state of complete shock.
Inuyasha nearly fell over laughing when he walked into the clearing, Shippo and Miroku looked so rediculous pleading for their lives espeically from a human girl.
" If you touch me one more time I will permanently disable you." Kat obviously wasn't in a good mood.
" L- l- Look I-I wasn't trying to get freash or anything I-I..." Mirouku trailed off as Kat gave him a look of certain death.
" Miroku don't lie, your always trying to be with every girl!" Inuyasha was laughing hystericaly again when...
" YOU! How dare you?? I don't need your pity or your help and I certainly dont need to stay here!!" Kat started to storm past Inuyasha and out into the forest when he reached out and stopped her.
" Humans don't do well in this forest, especially after dark which is what it will be before you get out of here. Humans are fair game in this forest and I can't be responsible for whatever gets you." Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow to the girl wondering why she looked so steamed.
" Fine. I'll stay." Kat stormed off towards a tree and before anyone of them could get close to her she began to climb.
" Hey! Where are you going? " Inuyasha began to climb after the girl.
' Why wont he just go away? Well, I'll show him. ' Kat delibrately waited till he caught up with her, ready to push him back down to the ground, but when he caught up to her he laid a gentle and comforting hand on her arm.
" Who are you? "
" I told you, my name is Kat. If you must know I come from America."
' America?!?! What's that place? Oh, well I'll save that question for later. '
" Not that, I mean your different, I know that you can't be human. "
" No, I'm not human I'm a hanyou like you. Cat actually, Neko."
" Cat! "
And with that Inuyasha hit the ground several feet below. Miroku and Shippo laughed their heads off but Inuyasha didn't care he had found out what he had wanted know, but boy was what he had found out strange, a cat?!?!?
Kat stayed in the tree most of the day and the people on the ground mostly forgot about her, all except Inuyasha anyways.
Kagome and Kouga came home closely after night had fell, and Sango shortly after them.
Dinner that night was fish and Inuyasha thought that Kat would come out of the tree but she never moved. The night consisted of Miroku getting hit on the head repeatedly by Sango and Shippo accidently walking in on Kagome and Kouga kissing.
Kagome did not enjoy the night at all. Between Inuyasha refusing to talk to her and Kouga gloating to Inuyasha by publicly being all over her, it was not a good night.
Later when everyone was settling down to sleep Kagome saw Inuyasha climb up into the tree.
