A young cat-demon sat in a tree, attempting to hide. Once she realized this stranger was not going to leave, she got defensive. "Who are you? What are you doing here? What do you want?"

"One question at a time, child. It's alright, I'm not here to hurt you."

"Who are you?" She seemed skeptical.

He smiled a fake though convincingly gentle smile. "My name is Naraku."

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to help you. I know you have no where else to go."

"I'm doing just fine alone."

"When was the last time you slept?"

"I don't need sleep."

"Come now, Mosi, you have no reason to fear me."

"How do you know my name?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?"

"Cause you won't go away."

"Listen, Mosi, I will not harm you. I truly want to help you."

Naraku wasn't lying. For two years, he fed, housed, and clothed little Mosi. Mosi thought that he only did this so she would help him with certain chores. Of coarse, he wanted something more in return, only he made her see it as something she wanted. Though Mosi didn't know it, she was a half demon, and Naraku had found an enchantment that might fix that. He wanted a test subject.

"Mosi, come in here!" Naraku calls from the front room.

Mosi, who is standing on the front porch sweeping, props the broom against the wall and goes to Naraku's side. "Yes, Naraku-sama?"

"Take a seat, child." Mosi sits herself on her knees. "You don't know this, Mosi, but you are not a full demon. One of your parents was a human."

Mosi's face shows confusion. "Excuse me, sir, but... why are you telling me this?"

"I have found an enchantment that might fix that. You see, this is the reason that you black out once a month."

"You mean, if I go through with this, I won't black out anymore?"

"If all goes well. This enchantment is extremely complex, and it could be very dangerous."

"Naraku-sama, you know that makes no difference to me."

A smile spreads across Naraku's face. "I thought you might say that. I want you to relax for the rest of the day, you will need your energy tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." Mosi gives a little bow as she leaves the room. "Thank you, sir."

The sun rises and with it, so does Mosi. She slept in a tree, as she prefers. She runs to Naraku's castle. Normally, she would go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but Naraku told her that today breakfast would be waiting for her in her room. She reaches her room and smells something wonderful. When she walks in, Naraku is already seated, waiting for her.

"Sit down, Mosi, eat."

"Yes, Naraku-sama."

After breakfast, Naraku leads Mosi to a small hut near the castle. A dark monk waits for them.

The monk smiles evilly. "Lay on the table, child."

"Naraku-sama?" Mosi looks nervously to her master.

Naraku nods. "Do not fear, little Mosi, and do as Katashi tells you." Mosi climbs onto a table in the center of the room. "Katashi, start whenever you are ready. Tell me when it is done." Katashi, the monk, bows as naraku walks out.

"He's not staying?" Mosi's eyes fill with tears.

Katashi laughs harshly. "Naraku-sama has better things to do than stay here and watch you. He is a busy demon." He lets out another harsh laugh. "Now, child, lay down and stay still. Little warning, this is gonna hurt like Hell." His evil smile spreads further.

Mosi could not tell how long her screams lasted. All she knew was that when she entered the hut, it was still early morning and when she left the stars where shining bright. Katashi finished long before the screams did. The enchantment did not work as it was supposed to. Though Mosi's demonic blood was stronger afterwards, she was not fully demon. She was able to control when she became human, and she was able to take a demon form for short periods of time. Even so, the body she was forced to live in on a normal basis was not her own. Her hands had turned to paws that could not grasp and her feet had turned to paws that made it nearly impossible for her to balance. Worst of all, Naraku, having finished using the child, abandoned her in a time when she could not fight off even the weakest of opponents.
"Naraku-sama?" Mosi called weakly from the castle door. "Naraku-sama, are you there?" Mosi's legs collapsed and she sat on the floor in the door.

Katashi walked into the front room and stood over Mosi. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought... maybe... where is Naraku-sama?"

"He is busy, child. You shouldn't be here. Your use has run out. Now go!"

She stood with great difficulty. "I wanna see Naraku-sama!"

Katashi's harsh laugh rang through the room. "He does not have time for you."

"I won't leave!"

"Fine, stupid little girl. Stay here and see how happy the master is when he sees you." Katashi walked around the confused little one and out the door.

Mosi forced herself onto her feet and, with basically no balance, walked through the castle searching for Naraku. "Naraku-sama?"

Naraku sat in a dark room. "Come in here, child."

Mosi stumbled into the dark room with a relieved look on her face. "Naraku-sama."

"You poor child. You've had such a hard time." His face was covered with an evil smile that was hidden by the darkness.

"Master, I'm confused. Katashi said you don't want me around anymore." She stopped here to see if she could make out Naraku's expression. "Is this true, Naraku-sama?"

"Well, to be quite frank, yes."

Tears formed in Mosi's eyes. "It's not true. You wouldn't..."

"Yes, yes I would."

Something snapped inside of Mosi's mind. Her body shaped itself into a cat. She began to slash at Naraku's body over and over again, though, of course, none of her attacks have any effect on Naraku.
