Meow, Miroku
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN INUYASHA SO LEAVE ME ALONE! Rumiko Takaheshi, can I have Miroku? Hehe...
"Normal speech"
'Thoughts'
::Miroku's thoughts::
Cat to cat
Author Note:: Someone reviewed and said it's spelled Kirara, not Kilala.... The truth is it's both ways, so I'm leaving it as I have it.
------------------
"Ki-... Kilala?" Sango asked breathlessly.
The four stared at the small diamond shape on her forehead and the now visable pair of yellow ears on her head.
The girl nodded. "I don't... know how..." her voice was soft, but had a hidden fierceness.
Sango stepped forward, grabbing Kilala by the hand and pulling her out of the sight of the gawking group.
When InuYasha, Kagome, and Shippou finally stopped staring at nothing and blinking, they returned to the camp. Kilala was clad in Sango's yukata. Miroku ran over to Kilala and pawed her ankle.
"Oh," she glanced down, "hey, Mi-..." she stopped, suddenly remembering no one else knew. 'How should I tell them?' she thought.
Sango looked at Kilala, smiling to herself.
Kagome nervously spoke what was on her mind, "How did this happen?"
Kilala shrugged, still trying to think of how to tell everyone that the kitten was Miroku.
"We'll get you some better fitting clothes in the next town," Sango glanced at Kilala, who seemed uncomfortable in the clothes she had.
"I don't want to trouble you," Kilala blushed, glancing at the ground.
"It's not any trouble," Kagome chimed in.
Miroku now pawed angrily at Kilala's ankle, ::Tell them, dammit!::
"Um," Kilala started nervously, not sure how to put this. "About 'Houshii'... He-... uh... How do I say this... It's Miroku," she hated how blunt she had to be, but it was like ripping off a bandaid--fast and painless. But, more or less, fast and less awakward.
"Wha... what?" Sango blinked, not quite sure she heard right. But it did make sense, all the signs...
"You heard me," Kilala nodded.
"Mi... roku," Sango looked teary-eyed at the kitten.
::Sango...:: he smiled to himself. He hopped in her arms and purred, rubbing his face against her chin and biting her softly. He licked away Sango's tears of happiness, his purr growing louder.
"I'm so happy I never lost you," she squeezed the tiny kitten.
Kilala smiled, happy to see the two reunited.
InuYasha, Kagome, and Shippou stood back, giving Sango a chance to free her emotions before they went and welcomed Miroku back--although it wasn't welcoming him back...
"How did any of this happen?" Sango asked the black kitten, holding him up to look in his eyes.
The kitten blinked, ::Good question... :: He had wondered that exact question the entire time he was a feline.
Kilala rubbed the back of her head in thought. Kagome, InuYasha, and Shippou were as perplexed as the rest of the group. Sango sighed, "If we don't know how you got this way, I suppose it's impossible to reverse the effect."
"We can figure it out," Kagome had to keep this positive.
"Maybe we can ask Kaede, since we're so close and all," InuYasha suggested.
"That's a great idea," Sango smiled, her eyes revealing that she was very hopeful.
So the group had decided the best thing was to ask Kaede. She was full of impressive wisdom, so it was worth a try.
------------------
"I can ask some of my friends," Kaede was examing Miroku, "but I've never heard of this happening. Other than when half demons transform. Miroku's full human so I don't know, honestly."
Miroku sighed, drooping his tiny head. ::It's hopeless, I'm going to be a flea-bitten furball forever...::
"Well, until we figure this out, we can't go fighting any demons for jewel shards," InuYasha grumbled.
"Oh, that's right," Kagome sighed. "Oh, well."
"Oh, well?! He could be like this forever! Naraku's going to get all the jewel shards and--"
"SIT!"
"ACK! What was that for?!"
"Look," she knelt down next to him, "we can't do anything about the situation. Yelling about it is only going to make it worse, so calm down. Besides, it'll be nice to take some time off from searching for jewel shards for a while, 'kay?"
InuYasha grumbled a response, got up, and walked out.
"I'm sorry," Kilala sighed.
"You can't help it," Kagome flashed a smile and left to talk to InuYasha.
::Kilala,:: Miroku swatted at her ankle.
"Hm?" she looked down.
::Tell Sango I said hi,:: the tiny kitten stared up at Kilala.
"He says hi," Kilala told Sango, pointing at Miroku.
Sango smiled and picked up the kitten.
"Come on, you two. We're going shopping for clothes and cat food!" Sango walked out of Kaede's house, Kilala following her.
Kaede smiled after the three, glad to see Sango and Miroku getting along.
