Not in a good mood. Tanya (yes she is a real person) and I had a fight for the first time today. I also got a FU**ING F on my Computer Applications test and didn't manage to pass the mile's time limit. So I'm posting my apology to Tanya incase she happens to read this with this chapter. Sorry if my mood brings you guys down! Don't mean to spoil your day too…   

Dear Tanya,

I don't know what I did to make you so angry. You know I was just teasing like always. I don't have the slightest clue what the nickname means and I'm sorry you got upset by it. But don't take out your anger on me! At least twice every week you come to sit with us really pissed off. I hate it when you're pissed. And you take your anger out on me when all I want to do is help! I'm your best friend (or at least I was…) and you're supposed to tell me everything! It angers me that you're keeping secrets and that you take out your problems on us, your friends of all people. I have more reason to be angry than you most of the time too, and it doesn't help when I try to help you all you do is whale on me!  I'm your friend Tanya! I may not be your best friend… but you'll always be mine… I'm sorry to see us fight & for the first time in three years too. I don't want to loose your friendship over a stupid fight like this. Don't blame me if I don't answer the phone when you call because I'm mad that you're so mad at me. Forgive me & I'll forgive you…

-Jennifer

Tsukamaru Kai Tenshi… The Scarlet Ibis

Chapter 8

"No Inuyasha we can't!" Tanya said.

"You can't but I can," the hanyou said.

"If they catch us it's going to be all hell especially since they drank so much last night!"

The camera clicked and Vash's eyes slowly opened. Inuyasha and Tanya bolted before they could be found out. Something shifted beside Vash and he looked down. There was Kat, sleeping like a baby directly next to him. 'Did we....? But I never get THAT  drunk! But still....'

"Rem…." he instantly thought. 'She looks so much like Rem…'

Vash cleared his thoughts. Then he noticed that he wasn't wearing a shirt… At least he had pants on. He looked down to see if Kat was wearing anything and was a little surprised to see that she was.

She stirred, "Kenshin…."

Vash frowned confused.

"You finally woke up Kenshin," she whispered.

Kat hugged him in her sleep. He shrugged and stretched. Something caught his eye and he turned his attention to the back wall of the room. Two pictures hung on the wall. One of the people in the pictures was Kat. The other person was a red headed man. The pictures had writing on them but they were so dusty it was hard to see anything from where he was.  Kat cracked open an eye and groaned. She had a splitting headache already.

"Kenshin…." Kat noticed that something was different about her red head. She sat up and Vash froze. Kat tried to clear her vision and when it finally cleared she was not happy with what she saw, "Shit."

Vash blinked. Kat noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt. She was relieved to find that she was still fully clothed.

"Did we….?" she asked.

Vash grinned wide, "You bet! Best night of my life!"

He stood up cackling madly and left the room. Kat stared after him dumbfounded before taking off after him. She ran across the porch and her bear feet slipped on the dew covered wood floor. She was about to scream when someone caught her.

"You're so clumsy wench," Inuyasha said.

Kat nodded her thanks to Inuyasha, "Ohayou!" She took off running down the porch again, "Vash wait!"

Inuyasha shrugged and walked back into the room where Tanya was. Kat shivered as she ran down the porch. It was a little to cold to be wearing pajamas at that time in the morning. She spotted Vash sitting on the end of the porch and her pace quickened. She noticed that he was now wearing a shirt and it made her wondered where he got it.

She sat down next to him, "It's going to be a nice day. I just wish I could get rid of this head ache to enjoy it."

Vash handed her something, "Drink this. It fixes anything leftover from alcohol."

Kat stared at it, wondering how he managed to make something that quickly, "And you would know this because?"

"Use to use it everyday," Vash paused a moment before he realized what he was saying, "HAHA for my friends of course!"

"Your friends where drunk everyday?"

Vash whistled, feigning innocence, and focused on one of the cherry trees.

Kat gulped the drink down and almost gagged. 'What the hell is in this thing?!'

They sat there a moment longer while Kat felt her headache disappear. The silence was a bit unbearable. "They're beautiful aren't they?" Kat asked.

"Yes, very much so," he replied.

"Bet you've never seen one huh?"

He gave her something of a glare, "How would you know?"

Kat frantically searched for an answer, "Well the way you're staring at them makes it seem like you've never even seen grass."

"I've seen grass but I've never seen a forest."

Kat stood up, "Well would you like to explore it with me?"

Vash grinned stupidly, "I'd do anything for you!"

'Gur. He's back to being a pervert.' Kat whistled. Kageunsei came out from a room behind them.

Would you like a kimono?

Kat shook her head. Then Kageunsei said privately to her Vash's coat? Well I'll see what I can do. Go to your room and you can find it there.

Kat nodded her thanks and Kageunsei followed Kat to her room.

Kat paused at the door, "Wait for me. I'll be just a sec."

"I'd wait for all eternity!" Kat heard him yell as she shut the door.

She rolled her eyes and changed into the outfit on her futon, "If I catch you peeking you're not going to be able to do it ever again!"

Vash fell over and scrambled away from the keyhole. The door knob turned and Kat stepped out, "Like it?"

Vash paused a moment, "Hey! You're wearing my stuff!"

Kat rolled her eyes and threw his own coat at him, "No. I'm not." She shoved orange colored glasses farther up her nose.

Vash put on his coat and snatched the glasses from Kat, "At lest I can tell my glasses apart from yours." Kat glared at him before whipping out her own pair. Kageunsei followed silently behind them.
