I have a cold. My head hurts too…

Chapter 11

Vash stormed into the hut dripping small rivers. Saku's claws scraped across the floor as she clung onto the end of Vash's coat.

"Have fun?" Kat mocked as Vash passed by.

"That was the most fun I've had in years!" Vash took Kat's hand, "I know we could be happy together forever."

Kat looked at the wedding ring on the hand Vash was holding. She paused a moment before turning a bright red, "I've told you already and I'm not happy about telling you again….I'M ALREADY MARRIED!"

Vash let go and covered his ears to keep them from ringing, "Ow! That was harsh!"

"Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it lover boy," Kat muttered.

"Well," Vash said while standing up and prying Saku's jaws off of his coat, "I guess I'll go change into some dry clothes."

He turned to go when Kat stopped him, "the fair is in town this weekend. Want to go with Inuyasha, Tanya and I?"

Vash frowned, "What's a fair?"

^_^

"How do I look?" Kat asked Tanya.

"Like a princess! Think Inuyasha will like my kimono?" Tanya asked as she showed her friend what she was wearing.

"I'm sure he will," Kat said, "Ready to go?"

Tanya smiled, "You bet!" The girls walked out of their room to join the guys in the kitchen. Inuyasha was wearing his regular fire rat kimono but it was Vash that surprised Tanta and Kat. He was wearing one of Kenshin's old blue gi and white hakama. Kat's mouth dropped open.

"What?" Vash asked confused.

Tanya blinked a few more times, "You look so….different."

Inuyasha scoffed, "He'd blend in more if his hair didn't stick up."

Kat closed her mouth once she got over the shock of seeing Vash in one of KENSHIN'S kimonos. She sighed. 'I guess Kenshin's not around to see this but if he were....' "I can fix that!" Kat said. She walked over to Vash and ruffled his hair. She frowned, "There's not much we can do. For one, Vash is about a foot and a half taller than everyone else. There's also the fact that he doesn't have a shred of Japanese in him-"

"Neither do you," Tanya pointed out.

"At least Kat doesn't stick out like a soar thumb," Inuyasha muttered.

Tanya placed a hat on top of Inuyasha's head, "To hide your ears dog boy."

"Keh. Wench. I'm human tonight. By the time we get to the fair I'll be in human form," Inuyasha stated. Saku entered the room and barked.

"Unless you can manage a German Shepard, you can't come," Kat told Saku. The wolf barked and spun around in circles. Her fur grew black and tan and her ears lengthened. Her bark grew deeper and Vash stared in amazement as the wolf morphed right in front of him.

"Well done!" Kat praised Saku. The disguised wolf barked again.

"Where's Mayonaka? Come to think of it, I haven't seen him around often," Tanya commented.

"Last time I saw him he was practicing outside with his bokken. I asked if he wanted to go to the fair but he didn't seem to want to go. Kageunsei is going to stay behind with him. I still don't know why he doesn't want to go," Kat said.

'Is it just me or does Kat sound a bit to.... chipper?'

There was a moment of silence before Inuyasha's hair began to darken. His eyes turned purple and his claws disappeared. The last golden rays of the sun disappeared from the kitchen window.

"Ready to go?" Tanya asked.

"Yep!" Kat and Vash said. Inuyasha nodded.

They headed for the doorway and Vash couldn't help but ask, "Will there be doughnuts there?"

Kat whacked him, "Dork."
