A/N: Okay so we came back with another chapter, and yes I know we abuse the sit necklace and the whole rum thing...but really look me in the eye and tell me truthfully that you wouldn't see can't do it can you?

Curse of three

Chapter 3: Self discovery and the wonderful word down.

After a week of Rayne fending off men, Kat fending of Sesshomaru's attempts to kill her, and Skye not doing anything to fend of Miroku, we find Inuyasha sulking about wanting pizza.

"Inuyasha we already told you, when Rayne, Kat, and I go back to our time we will bring you back some." Skye cooed to the hanyou as if he were a child.

"Then you guys will never come back!" Inuyasha pouted.

"Yes we will! You think we like staying in our polluted stupid hick town in the middle of freaking nowhere!" Kat said.

Rayne just shrugged her shoulders as she continued to cook the group fondue.

"What are you cooking anyhow?" Skye asked the black haired teen.

"She is making yummyness." Kat said.

"WELL WHAT IS IT?" Skye said getting frustrated.

"Something doggies shouldn't eat." Kat said, "But why is the!"

"DON'T YOU EVEN!" Skye said to Kat.

"Rum gone." Inuyasha finished.

Skye looked to Inuyasha in her doggy form and began to bark at him.

"She is saying you will pay puppy man." Rayne said stirring the cheesy mixture.

Inuyasha just brushed it off with a "feh," and continued to follow his nose to the wonderful smell of food. When he got close enough, Skye growled and leapt. Just barely missing Inuyasha, but she was able to sink her mouth around his long white hair and yank with all her force.

"Stupid dog!" Inuyasha growled out as Skye pranced around happily, she gave him a doggy smile and curled up underneath a tree.

"Hey!" Kat said as she hit him on his shoulder, "You can't call her stupid...that's our job!"

Then she blinked and looked at her hand... "Does this mean my curse is gone?"

"No, you just didn't touch his skin." Rayne figured.

"You mean I can't transform if I don't touch skin to skin?" Kat asked.

"I guess so, why don't you try it out? Touch his hand or something."

"No way!" Kat retorted.

"Fine I guess we'll find out the hard way. Inuyasha touch her hand! If you do I'll do whatever you want except for one thing."

"Noooo!" Kat started to step away slowly but gave up all of her pretenses as he started to her. "I don't want to be scrawny again!"

Inuyasha's eyes narrowed and he tried twice as hard. When he did reach her, he forgot about his strength and outright slapped her exposed arm. Kat spun around, her face and body quickly changing to match his own.

"Run..." Katyasha said deathly.

"Don't touch him! Or I'll say the word!" Rayne called out to them.

Katyasha and Inuyasha really didn't pay attention to her as she chased him around. Just as soon as she caught up to him Rayne cried out, "SIT!" and boom went the both of them.

The only good thing was that Katyasha was smashing Inuyasha to the ground, having landed half on top of him. Rayne just laughed and went back to cooking.

"So am I gunna get any of that?" Skye asked.

"Hey wait oh yeah, forgot you were a human too."

"You forgot I was human?" Skye asked. "How dare you!" She said and sniffled.

"Well sorry I mean we say but why is the rum gone so much that it just didn't dawn on me." Rayne replied looking back to Skye only to be met with the eyes of a very angry dog.

"See!" She said and gave Skye's doggy form a bit of melted cheese sauce.

"If you had only stopped to ask which way it was..." Kat pointed out.

"We DON'T STOP FOR DIRECTIONS!" Rayne growled out agitatedly.

"Um...guys, this might not be the best time to fight," Skye said as she pointed to the sky.

"Oh yeah?" Rayne questioned slowly. Inuyasha smiled as he beat her to her new favorite saying.

"But why is the Rum Gone?" he questioned with a smile. Skye glared all she was worth as she switched to her more dominant form.

Rayne turned to look at the battered monk slowly trailing behind them.

"- All I was doing was trying to warn you! And how do you repay me! YOU TURN ME INTO A DAMNED DOG!-" Skye barked.

A horde of demons flew in from the sky and by protective instinct Skye ran over to guard the injured Miroku. She sank down on all of her hunches and bared her teeth with a growl to anything that dared come closer then a hundred feet, aside from her friends of course.

"We have to fight?" Kat asked sullenly.

"Duh," Rayne replied and grabbed the short sword she picked up a day or two ago from a local battle field.

Kat nodded and looked towards Inuyasha with a huff, but smiled despite that, "You come in handy a lot here..." she told him as she grabbed some of his hair.

She transformed into a look a like of Inuyasha, or Katyasha as they nick-named this form.

They all began to battle the demons; however, everyone failed to notice a baboon looking figure in the distance chanting a spell. As the spell finished all three girls glowed a soft lilac color.

"WHY AM I GLOWING AGAIN ENOUGH WITH THE CURSES!" Skye protested to the light from within her.

"Oh no, it's inside us!" Rayne said with a pout.

"What's inside you?" Inuyasha questioned as he fought of three demons with his new found sword.

"The jewel." Katyasha said using Inuyasha's claws and not wasting her time with the sword.

After a moment all three girls (Katyasha is still considered a girl...) sank to the ground in what seemed to be pain. Rayne clenched her stomach, Skye clenched her heart, and Katyasha clenched her head.

"Owieeeeee!" all three girls started to yell as skin was pushed up in the spots they clenched. Pain racked through them, but at the same time, they were happy. Happy that this stupid pain in the head/stomach/heart was coming out.

It took just an agonizing moment later and three identical glowing pieces of the jewel appeared straight in front of them. The figured pelt appeared, but at least this time the three girls saw him. Instantly they all knew who he was, and what he was here for.

Simultaneously they yelled, "MINE!" and grabbed a third of the jewel each.

"Hey! I know!" Skye said with a smile. "You really are..."

"DUN DUN DUN!" Rayne said.

"Naraku!" Katyasha finished.

All three girls laughed.

"How did you know my name?" Naraku questioned.

"We know everything." Skye replied.

"We know your past, we know your present, and we know your future Onigumo!" Katyasha said evilly.

"But Inuyasha I thought you were sealed by lady Kikyo." Naraku said.

"Never mention that damn name again." Rayne replied.

"And plus I was!" the real Inuyasha countered. "This wench freed me." Inuyasha said pointing to Rayne, and then blinked. "SORRY!" he finished in hopes of not being sat again.

"There are two of you?" Naraku asked confused.

Katyasha threw her head back and laughed evilly. "Yes your worst nightmare!" she said and laughed.

"Hey what about the beads?" Rayne asked.

"Ooooo the beads!" Skye said and pulled them out of her pocket.

"Hey give those to me, I don't think you'll do it right." Rayne said.

Rayne took the beads from Skye and walked over to Naraku, who seemed to be disoriented. Then, without warning, the small magenta light surrounded both Rayne and baboon man.

"Oh man I was hoping it wouldn't work on him!" Rayne said not noticing she was only an inch away from the said half-demon in white fur.

"A curse perhaps? For you, yet I know how to use it for my own gain," Naraku said smoothly.

He grabbed at Rayne, which worked for oh...two minutes before she out powered him. Actually, anyone could out power him when he was not expecting him or her to head-but him.

"You are nasty! Never touch me again!" Rayne shouted, "However, since I am here." She said and placed the beads on him.

"Ha!" Skye shouted. "DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!"

"WEEEEEEEEEEE!" Skye yelled as Rayne dodged the falling form of Naraku just in time.

"You could have given me a second." Rayne said.

"Well that's what you get for always saying but why is the rum gone...oh -crap-" Skye said transforming back into her doggy self, this time it being her own fault.

"We have her trained." Katyasha said with a smirk.

"Yep," Rayne agreed and looked at the whimpering form of Skye.

"Lets get going," Inuyasha said, forgetting all about the unconscious half demon lying in the ground with a twitching body.

"Alright!" Rayne and Katyasha chorused and picked up their backpacks.

"And on we go!" Kat said in good spirits, after taking one last look at the befallen Naraku.

"-Easy for you to say-" Skye pouted.

"Yes, it is easy for us to say," Rayne agreed, "You have to bark it."

"-I hate you. -" She seethed.

"I know," Rayne, said, "I love you too." She finished as she broke off laughing.

After the group had gotten far enough away, and Katyasha became Kat, they decided they needed to fuse the jewel together.

"So how do we do this?" Skye asked.

"Uhh Kagome had to pray."

"WHO IS KAGOME!" Inuyasha said.

"Okay...okay I will make a sacrifice." Rayne said.

"How so?" Kat asked.

"I will take the jewel to Keade and have her do it, you guys stay here." Rayne said.

"Ahh do we have to stay here?" Skye questioned.

"Just for a day or two." Rayne said. "Well you four have fun!" Rayne said.

"You four?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Yes you four stay put I will go reform the Shikon no Tama, by MYSELF!" Rayne said.

" NO WAY IN HELL!" Inuyasha started after her retreating form. "You are NOT leaving me alone with them!"

"What's so bad about us puppy?" Kat asked in mock concern.

"You are all EVIL!" He replied.

"Thank you, we do try." Skye and Kat took a bow. Miroku watched on as his quote-un-quote girlfriend played around.

"Anyways! You are not coming Inuyasha!" Rayne called back, forgetting that she was trying to sneak away when he was distracted.

"You can't stop me! I'm stronger then you!" Inuyasha protested and ran after Rayne.

The three onlookers could not hear what they were saying, but they saw as Inuyasha's form went boom.

"She sat him." Skye said.

"Point out the obvious much?" Kat asked.

Skye stuck her tongue out at her younger friend and pouted as she walked over to her perverted monk. "Miroku..." she called.

"Yes?" He answered. Yet before either one had a chance to say anymore, Kat butted in.

"Oh no, Go away if you want to play! I don't want to even HEAR you!" she said tersely and glared at them both.

"What ever gave you the idea that what we might say you would find objectionable?" Miroku asked evenly.

For a moment, Kat did not answer, merely choosing to stare at him as if he were a complete idiot. "I have a feeling, let's stick to that. K?"

"You're no fun," Skye pouted again.

"Oh, but I want to know something else. You know, about Rum? But why-" Skye ran quicker then she ever had to stop Kat from finishing her sentence.

"I don't why you insist on following me!" Rayne said to Inuyasha who was following cautiously behind her.

Inuyasha made his famous remark of, "Feh," before he continued to follow behind Rayne. Her eye twitched, and she continued on like nothing was bothering her otherwise. Being the slightly dense half demon that he was, Inuyasha continued to follow the rather annoyed Rayne.

Finally she couldn't take it anymore, "SIT BOY!" she called out and continued to march on.

Inuyasha landed in a crater sized shape, grumbling about a hurt back and abuse. She did not look back though, as she held the pieces of the Shikon no Tama in her hand. Trees passed and later she found that perhaps wondering around Japan was not the smartest thing. Especially since she wasn't very familiar with Japan's structure, she was purely American.

Hours upon hours later Inuyasha finally rejoined her, and she was slightly happier…though she would never admit that fact. Actually, in her mind she was saying things like 'I could have found my way,' and 'I should have killed him when I had the chance.'

"Get on;" Inuyasha grumbled as he bent down, "You're too slow, it'll take forever to get to the hag's place at the rate you're going."

Rayne twitched, held up a finger as if to scold him, and walked right over. With a resounding SMACK, she hit him in the head. Inuyasha fell down again, from shock or force she didn't know.

"You called her a hag. That's just rude. AND you said I was slow? I'll show you slow," Rayne said as she stepped closer to him, her eye twitching all the while. "Bad doggy."

"Feh," Inuyasha coughed out dirt as he stood up.

"Don't 'feh' me. That's my saying!" she thought for a moment, "Wait…I'm 'neh' not 'feh' but still! Don't say that!"

With his famous glare he stalked off in front of her. Rayne ran up behind him, pushed him to the ground, and called out, "Jerk!" before running into the forest. Poor Inuyasha, his conscience tried to sooth him, being pushed into the ground so much.

Shaking his head Inuyasha tried to ignore the voice and continued to follow the short tempered Rayne. What, an, idiot.

Back with Skye, Miroku, and Kat they were all sitting down and eating a few things. Of course, neither girl did a thing and made Miroku their proverbially slave. Seeing as he didn't mind, meaning Skye gave him the puppy dog eyes –literally, he even went to pick them some wild berries. Yes, he had a very nice time with these two girls. Of course, the girls were having a better time then him but that's besides the point.

"Skye, do you know how long it would take for her to get to Keade's?" Kat asked as she took another berry.

Skye just shrugged, "Don't ask me."

For a moment Kat went off into thought, speaking some idea's aloud, "I wonder if she'll ride on Inuyasha…that would take a lot less time…"

"Lady Rayne would do such a thing?" Miroku asked with wide eyes, "She didn't seem the type."

"Huh?" Skye asked then laughed.

Kat's eye merely started to twitch and she bit the inside of her cheek to resist the urge to smack him, at least while Skye was around. However, it seemed Skye had the same thing in mind as her hand met his cheek.

"Do not insult my friend." Skye said glaring at the monk, who was now holding his cheek with hurt eyes if Skye could call them anything they would be puppy-dog eyes.

"Oh stop being such a girl Miroku and I thought men were supposed to be the strong ones…" Kat spat out. "Skye can't even hit that hard, you wanna see hard?" Kat asked walking over to Miroku and hitting him again after wrapping her hand in long sleeved shirt. "That was hard."

Skye laughed and looked as Kat walked off and back to her rock she had positioned herself on since Rayne's leave. She started to randomly pick at her cloths and muttered things about how evil Rayne left her alone with the perverted duo.

"Hey! I heard that!" Skye shouted.

"I know, I meant for you to hear it!"

Miroku, at least, knew well enough to stay out of their way. Both had hit him and he didn't want a repeat. After all the spot where Kat had hit him had already begun to bruise, Skye's stung and was a bright red, and he was not ready to get another one.

"Kat, how long has Rayne been gone now, do you think?" Skye asked her red-headed friend who was still bickering about being left alone with the 'perverts'.

"Long enough…she should get back here."

Skye giggled but stopped suddenly when she heard a twig crack in the surrounding forest. She was surprised when a very battered Inuyasha came limping back.

"Has she come back yet?" He asked.

"Do you think we'd be here if she was?" Kat questioned in return.

"You were going to leave without me?" His eye twitched.

"What do you think puppy?"

Inuyasha frowned at her and made a very rude comment. Kat frowned and mocked him, as if she hadn't learned her lesson by mocking Skye to begin with. Miroku chuckled under his breath as Skye outright laughed at their interaction.

"You both need your voices taken out." Inuyasha grumbled.

Kat looked at him, her eyes growing bored. "And you need some common sense, so we're even."

Inuyasha looked at her with a very identifiable angry face before Rayne magically showed up with a complete jewel. He went over to her, but stopped to smell around her when a very disagreeable scent reached him.

"Why the hell do you smell like Sesshomaru?"

"I made him take me to Keade's." Rayne said and brushed past Inuyasha just before said demon walked out of the tree line.

"What the hell do you want Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked the older demon.

Sesshomaru just looked at him and frowned. He walked past him and found his way to Kat who just looked up at him innocently petting a boa.

"You can't take it!" Kat yelled hugging it to her chest.

"But it's mine." Came Sesshomaru's monotone response.

"Nuh-uh I stole it fair and square." Kat replied.

Sesshomaru held out his left hand and stood in front of the red-haired ningen girl. Skye walked over to Sesshomaru and took his left hand holding it up as if inspecting it.

"Woot!" Skye cried out. "He does still have it."

Sesshomaru quickly pulled his hand out her grasp and began to what looked like clean it. When he was satisfied with his job, he held up his hand and drew on the poison. His claws started to glow green and hiss as the acid seeped to the tips and started outwards.

"You have touched my hand, the punishment is death."

Skye looked at him with wide eyes and backed up, tripping on a rock and started backwards on her hands as he slowly approached her.

"RAYNE!"

Rayne walked over with narrowed eyes and gripped his glowing hand, "Don't touch her," she tossed his hand to his side and slapped him, "Ever!"

Inuyasha was smiling with childish glee in the background as Sesshomaru tentively touched his abused cheek. Kat looked between her friend and the elder dog demon with confusion and shock.

"Someone slapped Mr. Fluffy and is still breathing?" she questioned and blinked a few times. "Wow."

"He's not so fluffy anymore." Skye pointed out in a whisper as she finished getting over to Kat.

"His hair is still," Kat grinned evilly after she said that, "Where are those sheering scissors?"
