Disclaimer: Yay! A—
InuYasha: YOU TURNED HER INTO A CAT!
Shel: Well…
Kagome: Mew.
InuYasha: It KILLS me that I can't understand her! Change her back!
Shippo: I can understand her!
InuYasha: …you can?
Shel: Yep! He can understand Kirara too!
Kagome: Mew…
InuYasha: Grr! What did she say!
Shippo: "Duh"
InuYasha: ……okay…
Kagome: (sits down in famous cat pose) Meow.
InuYasha: Shippo…
Shippo: Kagome says she's tired.
Shel: Yeah, this disclaimer is boring. While InuYasha spazzes about his girlfriend bein' a cat—
InuYasha: My what!
Shel: I'll let you read the chapter. Bye bye!
Sango sighed. Shippo and Miroku had begun fighting again about the food. "This is something I would expect from InuYasha, maybe, but you two?" Shippo and Miroku ignored her and went back to their argument.
"Miroku, you had your food! Save it for Kagome!" Shippo yelled at the monk.
"For the last time, I wasn't going to eat it!"
"I wish Kagome was here!" Shippo yelled tearing up. Miroku sighed/growled.
Did someone mention me? A black furry cat with big pink and red eyes with a crescent moon on its forehead ran into the hut and rubbed against shippo. He petted it back confused. "Hey kitty! Why do you smell like Kagome?"
A very sick looking InuYasha came in and plopped down on the floor. Miroku rubbed the cat on the head. "InuYasha, who is this cat? And where is Kagome?"
InuYasha pointed to the cat. "She's right there."
Everyone looked up at him. "What?"
"That's what I said! But that's Kagome!"
Shippo looked at the cat. "Kagome?" The cat meowed and nodded its head. Hey Shippo.
Shippo looked panic stricken, same as everyone else. "WAH! It is you!"
Kagome growled softly but the growling was replaced with purring as Miroku scratched her under the chin. Stop it! Stop it! Stop—eh, okay, go on!
"InuYasha," Miroku said as he scratched the neko miko, "do you want to tell us what happened?"
InuYasha shook his head. "No."
Sango shrugged. "Well, was it Kagura, or Naraku?"
"Both."
"Both?"
"Yes, both! Do I have to spell it?"
"Can you?"
"…No."
"Okay."
Kagome got tired of Miroku petting her and wandered over to her bag to see if she could get something to eat. Immediately Kirara was there with her and they were both trying to get some kind of cat food out. While both of them ate, InuYasha explained best he could to Sango, Miroku and Shippo. "One minute she was Kagome. And Kagura runs her mouth and then she's a cat!"
Shippo rocked back and forth uncomfortably. "Don't you like cats InuYasha?"
"Yeah, but that's not the point."
Kagome and Kirara glared at him. "Nothing personal girls." InuYasha added quickly after seeing the cats' deadly looks. The cats shrugged and Kirara went back to eating but Kagome was more interested in her tail. Yay! Why does this interest me so much…oh well? Who cares?
By nightfall, Shippo was curled up with Kirara next to Sango. Miroku was sleeping sitting up in a corner next to the door. InuYasha had fallen asleep on his stomach and Kagome was curled up in a ball on his back, purring. Her right arm was wrapped in a small bandage. By the middle of the night, she had become restless and stretched, careful not to get her claws into InuYasha's back. Yumi. I feel so bad. I'm here, sleeping. And you're out there all alone.
Kagome jumped off of the sleeping hanyou and walked outside. InuYasha lifted his head sleepily and yawned. "Where's she going?"
Kagome's tail swished behind her furiously as she gazed up at the full moon on the hill where she had sat many times before. This is insane. I'm a cat, Yumi is gone, Kikyou is back, and Kagura isn't on our side anymore. I'm so messed up. What do I do? Her ear twitched as someone sat down beside her. InuYasha?
InuYasha yawned again. "Dumb cat. What're you doing out here?"
Kagome meowed again.
"Oh that's right. I forgot you can't talk."
Kagome meowed again. I can talk. You just can't understand me. So, HA! Kagome gave him a kitty smile when she 'said' the last word. InuYasha smiled back at her and scratched her on the head. "Kagome, how are we going to get you back to normal?"
Kagome meowed without opening her mouth. I'm more worried about Yumi. Kagome crawled onto InuYasha's knee and sat down. Hmm, what do I do if I have an itch? And with that, she bit at her paw furiously. Okay, OW! That hurt! "Mow?" A hollow wind came from behind her and InuYasha stood and picked up his cat, expecting Kagura. But standing there was Yumi with a soul collector wrapped around her. Kagome meowed loudly. Yumi glared at her. "You got yourself turned into a cat?"
InuYasha thought her tone was a little sharp. "Yumi, you're okay?"
Yumi scoffed. "Of course I'm okay. Even though, you left me."
Kagome and InuYasha's ears dropped. Kagome meowed and wiggled free of InuYasha's arms and jumped to the ground. Yumi! You're okay!
Yumi saw the look of Kagome's releif even though she was cat. And while Yumi gave her the hateful look, Kagome's heart cracked slowly. Yumi…
"I didn't think Kagura could do it, really. But she did turn you into a cat. Scary."
Kagome didn't even think about this before she slowly made her way over and sat down in front of Yumi. "Mew."
Kami unwrapped around Yumi and she uncaringly let it snap at Kagome who hissed at it. Yumi?
Kami wrapped around Yumi again and the young girl pets its head. "Kikyou explained it to me, Kagome-san. You and everyone else are with Naraku and his plots aren't you? I'm not sure what the reason is for bringing me here, but I won't fall for it. This is all so confusing. Why did you bring me here? Why are you posing as my mother? Why…" Yumi choked back a few tears and finished her question. "Why are you doing this to me?"
Kagome's ears pressed against her head in painful sorrow. Kikyou is lying to you!
InuYasha got tired of being so quiet and spoke up. "Why would we be plotting with Naraku when we tried to kill him! You were there!"
Yumi shot him a hateful look. "And then I got killed! And then you left me so I could die again da—." Yumi's eyes were watering and she relentlessly let the tears fall. "InuYasha. Was it all just an act?"
Kami snaked down back to the ground and Kagome hissed at it. What did you do!
Yumi pulled at a piece of its fur and it wandered back on her shoulders. Kagome growled at it and it surprisingly growled back. Kagome's pink eyes flashed red and she clawed the Kami, leaving blue blood on her claw. Heh. Take that!
Yumi pushed Kagome neko away with her foot. "Don't."
InuYasha growled. "Just because she's a cat, it doesn't mean you have to treat her like it!"
Yumi turned around to leave. "What am I to you? Because you treat me like it." And like Kikyou, a blinding blue light and she was gone. Kagome meowed hollowly for her to come back but her cries were unanswered and she scampered back to InuYasha's side. InuYasha, we have to go after her!
After staring at the spot where Yumi had stood, InuYasha looked down at Kagome who was meowing with no signs of stopping. "Kagome, we can't go after her. We don't know where she is. I don't know what Kikyou, told her but…she's against us now. And with that thing that was with her, she could've killed you right then and there."
Kagome meowed again. I could take it! My claws sliced through it! I could get used to these.
Yumi's aura and scent had completely disappeared and was no longer traceable. Kagome gave a final meow and admitting defeat, her ears drooped and she pressed her head against InuYasha's ankle. (she's kitten, not that big.)
InuYasha picked her up, careful of her bandaged cat arm and she pressed her head up under his chin. Her ear twitched and she made sure that Yumi was really gone. Her scent was gone as well as her aura.
Yumi came, accused her of being with Naraku, held her responsible for her death, was with Kikyou, and left. (You know that look that cats get when they're really looking at something and their ear twitches but they keep looking at that spot…that's what's going on with Kagome.)
InuYasha tried to pet her to tell her it was okay but she pushed his hand away with her paw and kept focused on that spot. She knew Yumi was gone and wasn't coming back but for some reason, it had put her in a trance. Finally she shook her head and growled. Kikyou…what have you done?
Footsteps behind them snapped Kagome out of the trance and InuYasha turned to see who was there. A tired looking Sango and Miroku came sleepily their way. "What's goin on?"
InuYasha opened his mouth to say something but Kagome put her paw on his shoulder and looked at him to silence him. InuYasha looked back down at her, meeting her pink cat eyes. You don't want me to tell them? Fine. I won't.
Sango held out her hands and Kagome jumped to her.
"Wouldn't mind keeping you like this Kagome." Sango giggled as she pet Kagome's fluffy black fur. She growled back at Sango but made no attempt to leave her. Keep talking Sango…wait till I get my body back. You all will pay! HA! That's what she wanted to say but all that came out was a quiet growl. Miroku came up from behind Sango and jerked Kagome out of her arms.
"BE CAREFUL WITH HER!" Came the warning from Sango and InuYasha. Miroku ignored them and scratched Kagome's head while she did the sweatdrop and growled. "I'm being careful. Jeeze."
Kagome thought even though she was a cat, his hand was still in the wrong place so she climbed up on his shoulder and bared her fangs at him. Miroku sighed. "Is there really something you think you can do?"
Kagome 'heeheehee' like a cat and bit Miroku's ear really hard. "OW!" Kagome jumped down to the ground satisfied with that and left Sango and InuYasha saying "I told you!" and Miroku rubbing his ears, tears at the corner of his eyes yelling "That h-h-h-hurt!" and returned to the hut where she crawled next to Kirara and curled up next to her, replaying everything that happened and before the others even returned, fell asleep.
