2 months later……….
Inuyasha was doing his usual, waiting for Katona to return.
He waited in a tree near the well. Where was she? Why is she taking so long, he thought? A loud thump broke his silence, it was Katona! I'm sorry I'm late, Katona breathed. I jus- I just got caught up in something, she finally said. She didn't want him to know everything. Really, a guy from her time had asked her out, but she didn't know how Inuyasha would react. Would he be mad, jealous, or just think it's stupid? Oh well Katona decided not to tell him. They were walking towards Kaede's Village. As Katona was still lost in her thoughts Inuyasha crouched down. Katona not knowing was still thinking, until a minute later Inuyasha made a grunting noise to get her attention. Then she understood and climbed on his back. Katona now knew they were going somewhere farther away or Inuyasha wouldn't be carrying her. She was right, they went to Hiteri River. As they arrived there they saw Kouga and his pack. Inuyasha hadn't seen Kouga in 9 years. Then all of the sudden Kouga looked up and saw Inuyasha's beautiful new companion. Kouga also didn't know that Kagome had died, so this was strange to him. Kouga walked over to them and said in a VERY sarcastic voice "who is this fine lady?" Inuyasha just grunted in an angry sound. Then Kouga realized something, and then he said quickly, where is Kagome? Uhhh well you see, Inuyasha stuttered. He wondered how Kouga would react……. What is it mutt, Kouga demanded! Fine, she's dead, Inuyasha finally spat out! I told her to come with me, Kouga said. But no, she wanted to stay with you, and she got hurt……….. Well……….. what's done is done Kouga said drifting off. Well what's your name Kouga asked Katona? Then Inuyasha got in front of her knowing the way Kouga can act….. Well fine then, Kouga replied. "You and Kagome are alike, but you are more shy, I think that's cute," Kouga answered in a clever voice. Then Katona tapped Inuyasha's shoulder, and gave a knowing gesture that she wanted to leave. So Inuyasha knelt down for her to climb on. They left very fast…….. Inuyasha was now yet again in his jealous state…..
Katona was sitting on the porch, the sun was about to set and the sky was so beautiful……… The sky was a mix of blue, with purple streaks, and pink mixed into it all…… She decided to climb in a tree to get a better look. She heard something in the trees behind her; she knew it was Inuyasha spying on her. She didn't really care; she also wanted to see what the moon was that night….. she didn't have much time before the crescent moon came…….. But that is another story. Katona noticed that it was getting cold as she looked at the dark night sky. Then she noticed a fire being started, she could also tell it was Inuyasha lighting it. So Katona slowly climbed down the tree and sat by the fire, about a foot away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha noticed her presence through the corners of his eyes and his ears tilted slightly. Inuyasha also noticed that Katona was shivering so he threw the top part of his fire rat outfit at her. After a while she became very comfortable and she dozed off. Inuyasha just watched her as she slept. He had watched Kagome like this a few nights before Kikyo was brought back. He thought about the differences between them. Now he was thinking about the differences between Kagome and Katona. The only difference was their eyes; Kagome's were a puppy brown with a shine in them that looked so cheerful, but also In her eyes you could see that Kagome got mad easily. Katona's eyes were a deep ocean blue, they had such a sparkle in them, Katona was so shy and quiet, and always seemed to get embarrassed easily. Inuyasha now knew no matter how much someone might look like someone else everyone is different………
