Tsukamaru Kai Tenshi… The Scarlet Ibis

Chapter 4

Tanya and Inuyasha were having their daily glaring contest when Saku sauntered in. Kat looked up from staring at Vash's gun and greeted the amber wolf, "Where you been Saku?"

The wolf looked up at Kat and barked.

Vash looked at the wolf sitting next to Kat, "What are you wolf breeders?"

Kageunsei growled. I'm not just something that can be bred.

Vash stared at the wolf, "Did he just talk? I must be going nuts!" Kat sighed and was about to tell him about the wolves past before she noticed the colors of Vash's hair and Saku's fur.

"Vash?" Kat asked. He looked at her willing to please, "Could you sit next to Saku?"

Vash barked and jumped off his chair. Inuyasha face planted and muttered curses from the floor. "Sorry Inuyasha!" Kat said. (A/N: Inuyasha is still wearing the necklace and only Kat can make him 'sit'.)

Tanya watched Vash from her chair and muttered, "If he's our future, we're history."

Kat stared at the wolf first then Vash. She sighed, "Why me?"

"What's wrong?" Tanya asked. Kat jerked a thumb at Saku, "They're the same person. Uh, wolf. Thing."

Tanya looked from Saku to Vash, "Well their hair is the same color but other than that how can you tell?"

Vash used his foot to scratch behind his ear. "Ug! Never mind!" Kat said throwing her hands up to show her impatience. "I'm going for a walk," Kat said.

Vash was about to start scarfing doughnuts again when Tanya said, "Take the dog on a walk!"

Vash looked at Tanya with a hurt expression. Tanya rolled her eyes and whispered to him, "Be nice to her! She's been through a lot."

Vash nodded and followed Kat outside. Tanya turned her attention back to Inuyasha, "You can get up now."

Kat walked out towards the river to the only place she could feel alone. She got to the base of the giant tree that hung out over the river and unhooked the ladder. Kat jumped on the ladder and hung on as it swung under the tree house. She had an extremely hard time getting up the ladder with a kimono on.

A long whistle came from under Kat. She turned deep red and looked over her shoulder. There was Vash looking up her kimono. Kat's eyes flickered amber and she smashed her foot into his face. Vash let go of the ladder with a yelp and fell into the ice cold river. Kat then continued to climb up the ladder and when she got to the porch of the tree house she leaned over and glared at him.

Vash floundered in the river a few seconds before standing up. Kat's glare softened and she had to laugh. He had a fish tail sticking out of his mouth and pocket. Vash glared up at her and spat out the fish. Kat waited for him to yell at her but he just gave her a thumbs up.

Kat sighed, "Pervert."
