Chapter 20

"Where are you going?" Vash asked as Kat packed her things.

"Back home. Mayonaka starts boarding school tomorrow. I also have to be back at my job too and I have to see if I can get us a gig. Our band is official and we have to start somewhere!" Kat replied.

"Am I going with you?" Vash asked.

Kat shrugged, "I don't know are you? You have to be ready to…leave…now?" She said as Vash disappeared and reappeared within two seconds with a bag full of his stuff. "All righty then," Kat said as she assembled everyone in the living room. Tanya and Inuyasha had agreed to stay back to take care of the hut. Besides, Tanya had long ago given up her future life to exterminate demons with Inuyasha.

Saku barked at Kurama who was hidden deep inside in one of Kat's bags. Kageunsei waited until everyone said their goodbyes before transporting them back to the future.

^_^

The heat of the autumn sun blazed down on them as soon as they arrived. Kat spotted a poster taped to the front of the house saying that it was costume play week.

As soon as she had read the headline shouts could be heard, "OH MY GOD! IT'S VASH THE STAMPEDE!"

Vash gazed in horror at the large group of girls that began to chase after him, "Why me?!"

He took off running and the fan girls grew excited, "How cute! He's playing hard to get! AFTER HIM!" An enormous cloud of dust was left in their wake as a hundred or so crazed girls took off after him.

Kat shrugged being used to her crazy life by now. Mayonaka trailed in after his mom as did the two wolves. Kat crashed on the sofa and Kurama joined her once he had managed to worm his way out of her duffel bag. Kat laughed as his fox form danced around chasing invisible creatures and snapping at his numerous tails. After seeing her smile and laugh the fox leapt on to the couch and curled into a small ball next to Kat. She stroked his fur absently wondering how Vash was going to find his way back.

^_^

A knock sounded at the door and Kurama, now in human form, answered it, "May I help you?"

The Korean girl who was standing at the door smiled, "Does Katsura still live here?"

"Indeed she does," Kurama said while ushering the girl inside. He led her into the kitchen where he had last seen Kat.

CRUNCH!

A loud sound was made as a beer can connected with Kat's forehead. Kurama blinked in surprise.

"Wonder if that was my skull or the can that cracked. Wouldn't be surprised if it was both," Kat muttered to herself as she tossed the empty beer can over her shoulder into the trash.

"Quick, before she reloads!" Kurama said indicating that the girl should introduce herself.

"Kat?" the girl asked gaining her attention, "Remember me from high school? I'm Jasmine Kim."

Kat blinked in confusion, "Could you come back later? I'm a bit smashed at the moment."

Jasmine smiled, "Awww but I like the drunken Katsura she's SO much better than the real one!"

Kat laughed, "Jasmine Kim? As in the one who supposedly ruined the senior prom?"

"I see my reputation proceeds me!" she laughed.

"Weren't you also the one who planted a bomb in Jason's locker when you found out he had a crush on Tanya?" Kat asked.

Jasmine laughed nervously, "Enough about me! What have you been doing?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you!" Kat laughed. Kurama watched to two old friends hit it off as if they hadn't missed being with each other a day.

CRUNCH!

Jasmine gulped down a can of beer and slammed it against her forehead. "Ow…" was the feeble whimper that came out.

Kat burst out laughing, "I told you you couldn't do it!"

Kurama shrugged and decided he could leave the two alone while he looked for Vash.

^_^

Vash lifted the lid of the trash can to see if the group had stopped following him. He sighed in relief and stepped out of the can.

No later had he done that when a shout was heard, "There he is! Get him!"

Vash took off running once again at full tilt, "WHY ME?! WHY ME?! WHY ME?!"
