I don't own Inuyasha!

OOOO

Naraku let down his disguise of the shop keeper and laughed deeply. Those idiots chose exactly what he thought they would, and soon they will be screaming in pain.

The smell of humans was thick on him, and he noted that he would have to get Kagura to wash his clothes for him. While taking his clothes off, the hanyou thought about how dumb those fools were. Their greatest enemy was in the village, and only one of their members noticed who he was.

Now that he was remembering her, she had told him that he was the guest of honor for some party they were holding. Probably an ambush. Pathetic humans.

"I suppose I should go." He mumbled to himself, unaware of the girl listening on the other side of the door, "Since im the 'guest of honor'."

"Wait!" Kat yelled while slamming the door open then closed. "Don't come! Nevermind! My brain wasn't working!" She rambled, "And... And...holy fuck. You're naked." She screamed and turned around, covering her eyes and jumping about. She was yelling curses again and she felt her cheeks, no, her whole face go red.

"Um... umm... I didn't see anything! Nothing! Yup, I'll uh, just be going now!"

Her whole mind was going out of control and she really didn't notice that in her embarrassment she was throwing her thoughts at him. Naraku was being flooded in his mind by the random things she was thinking, mostly about his anatomy.

Whoa, he had a nice—ahhhhh stop! I was going to say chest, dumbass! Oh... I knew that! God what did you think I was going to say? Umm...

"Hey!" She yelled out, turning around and demanding her eyes not to wonder, "Where do your tentacles stay if they aren't on you now?"

That was random.

"Why are you red?" He asked, not sure if she had transformed or if it was hot, he just didn't know.

"Umm... You're naked."

"Yes."

He raised his eyebrow.

"This isn't normal. You're usually wearing clothes."

"Yes... and?"

"You're naked, dammit!"

"Is this uncomfortable?"

Kat was gaping and stuttering by now.

"N-no d-duh! G-guys usually d-don't r-r-un around n-naked!"

This amused Naraku, "I was just about to leave."

"To the party! Naked?" She was sure she looked like someone had thrown red paint on her by now.

"You're boring me. Tell me now, why are you red?"

"Im shy and embarrassed. Im not used to seeing people naked." She told him, trying to strike a note in his brain to say 'Get dressed!' "Your thing is showing, dammit!"

Naraku just started laughing at that, he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Wait. You're laughing and no one has gotten hurt." This calculated in her mind, "Are you feeling okay?" She moved to feel his forehead but her hand was caught. This reminded her of when she faked slapping him and used her chain.

"Wench, you aren't going to use that chain of yours again!" He yelled, his eyes a boiling red.

"Yup, I know. I was going to check to see if you have a fever." This confused Naraku evermore and he unconsciously tilted his head to the side and demanded, "Why?"

"You laughed because of something that didn't harm anyone." In her mind she said, except my damned virgin eyes. Haha.

Naraku heard this to and joined her laughter. After this, they just stared at each other strangely and Kat found herself blushing again.

They both noticed at the same time that he was still holding her wrist and Kat tried to tug away. Naraku smirked and pulled her towards him, then wrapped his arms around her and bit down on the clothes that she was wearing. Kat gasped and yelled, "What the hell are you doing!"

"You're attracted to me, I heard your thoughts. I'm doing what you won't."

Kat continued to try and pull away from him, then tried to call on her energy. Something was blocking it, she couldn't reach it. Growling in frustration, she did the first thing she could think of and screamed. He spun her around and smothered her scream with a kiss. Just when she was about to damage his woohoo the door busted open.

Both of them jumped and pushed each other away at the same time. Kat spat continuously and Naraku kept wiping his lips.

"What..." Kagome yelled, her eye twitching while she pointed at Kat. Inuyasha looked sick while he covered Naraku from his point of view and gasped out, "How!"

"What happen—"Miroku started before seeing what they saw. He stopped mid step and almost fell down. The monk started chanting, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything..."

Meanwhile Ala was laughing hysterically in the background and Sango was throwing up.

"Nothing-"The two victims of embarrassment started before interrupting each other. "Stop!" They yelled at the group of people who were still in shock. Kat heard Inuyasha mutter, "I think im gonna be sick!"

Kat glared at Naraku and yelled, "This is all you're doing!"

"You're the one who walked in on me about to leave."

"You're the one who travels naked!" She stomped around, "And the one who did what I wouldn't. If that makes any sense."

The two forgot about the crowd watching them and continued bickering as if they were married, circling around as if they were going to battle but wouldn't.

"Um, guys." Kagome said, "Shouldn't we kill Naraku while he is naked and distracted?"

Miroku covered her mouth, "No, I'm enjoying the view." They looked at him disgusted, "Of the girl not..." He didn't finish that sentence, he just shuddered.

Kat sighed and just gave up on explaining, and instead yelled, "Shut up!", and then hit her fist on an object near her.

Everyone zipped their mouths and watched her with wide eyes. "No one will remember or speak of what they saw. Erase it from your mind and forget it... now, we have a party to go to..."

"Come if you want." Kat said quietly to Naraku then dragged everyone out the door on her arms.

OOOO

The walk back to the village was painfully quiet and awkward for Kat, as well as the fact that everyone was staring holes into her back.

"Right-oh, it's time for that party!" Kat said loudly, startling everyone that was in Keade's hut.

"Yup, yup!" Ala cheered on as she pulled a cd player out of her backpack. Popping in a cd and pushing play, she turned the volume up a little and started handing out gifts.

Although the girls knew what they got, they got joy out of seeing Miroku's, Inuyasha's, and Shippo's happy faces as they saw their presents.

A bundle of lollypops for Shippo, a fake fur blanket for Inuyasha, and one girly magazine plus pictures for Miroku, which were confiscated until after the party, preferably when no one was around him.

'Twisted Transistor' sang from the radio and Ala was moving her plastic spoon to the beat.

"Ala, where did you get that?" Sango asked while happily brushing her demon companions fur.

"From my time, I always bring to spoons incase we have a party!" Sango nodded then continued to hum to the music.

"I think we should be looking for jewel shards right now." You can guess who said that.

"No, its night time and almost time for resting," Kagome answered sternly but sweetly, "You should be happy that we're having this party."

"Oh, yes about that." Kat started rubbing the back of her head, "Naraku kind of said he might come. I didn't tell him he had to! I just figured... well..."

Kagome rested her hand on the girls shoulder for comfort and said, "It's okay... just. . . Don't expect us to be nice."

"Oh, no I didn't expect that, in fact I was thinking we could turn him into a roast for what he did!" They both laughed. Inuyasha growled and stared at her viciously before yelling, "Stop acting as if he isn't a monster!" He balled his fists, "You think he is human or something!" He drew in a deep breath, "He can't love! Love is foolish!"

"Oh, right! Sango, Kagome, I need to see your presents." They looked at each other and asked, "Why?"

". . . Because Naraku set a curse on them." Kat said, choking back the urge to puke as she got a mental image of him. "Oh, and my outfit..." She said holding up her battle uniform.

"Um... are you sure that we shouldn't be ready for battle when he comes?" Sango questioned, her revenge set in her mind.

Kat nodded, as well as Ala, who was still beating her spoon on the table. "He doesn't intend harm." Ala said firmly, "I know he doesn't."

"Yes," Kat said, clearing the objects of negative energy, "And if he does... well. Let's just see what happens when it is six against one!"

Inuyasha growled and stormed out of the small hut, Kagome following after him.

"Strange way those two act around each other." Kat said over her shoulder to Miroku, who was still bug-eyed from seeing the cover of magazine and the single photo he saw.

"Yeah..."

"Still shocked?"

"Yeah..."

She sighed and sat down on the floor with Ala, head resting on the low table and mumbled, "Do you think he'll come?"

Ala nodded. Silence...silence...

Right... ugh. Boring...

Nothing better to do, Kat rested her head in her arms and closed her eyes. She thought over the very long day and suddenly remembered something. Inuyasha, his eye.

Rushing outside to see where Inuyasha was she looked around the dark and gloomy landscape. "Umm... okay, where is he now?" She mumbled, still confused as to where he was. She spotted, however, the pair of glowing red eyes coming from the trees and said out loud, "Have you gobbled Kagome and Inuyasha up or are they rolling in the dirt somewhere?"

"The second answer is correct. The wench is attempting to check his eye."

"Oh. Yeah, you really did some damage there." She answered back, scratching the back of her head for effect.

Kat remembered calling Inuyasha, her Inuyasha.

This bit of information startled the girl enough to not notice that the eyes had disappeared and a hand was waving in front of her face. She batted it away and walked inside to find something that would keep her busy.

The girl looked at the single present that was wrapped in black wrapping-paper with white ribbon decorated with gray and black polka dots. It was rather large and looked very lonely on the floor. Kat sighed and shoved it away, then grabbed her outfit and hurried off into a secluded part of the woods.

She tugged off her normal clothes, sure no one was there, and pulled on black and gray leather pants. The matching black skirt was kind of short, but wasn't indignant. Putting on the black leather, short sleeved shirt, Kat pulled the long, rough chain-link gloves and looked at herself.

The leather, it wasn't to form fitting. She liked that she wouldn't look improper and smiled. Too bad for Naraku that his plan for 'pain' hadn't worked out. Those gifts were disinfected from his deadly gasp.

"Do, do, do..." She hummed, being able to hear a song she liked in her head.

Putting on black boots with chains coiled around them, she ran back to the village and into Keade's hut, ignoring the couple that was fighting about some nonsense.

"How boring." She heard someone mumble from inside the room. Kat noted that Ala and Sango had left the hut, along with her cat. "They weren't outside, where are they?"

Kat asked, ignoring Naraku. She looked around and sniffed the air, it smelled like some kind of food was cooking... like Ramen almost. "I guess ramen would be nice..."

Someone, as in Naraku, grasped her shoulder and she said gently, "Oh, did you say something?" He went to choke her but stopped when he saw what she was wearing.

"Yes I wore it," Kat answered his thought, "but no, not because, technically, it was from you."

"No one suggested it." Raising an eyebrow, she could feel herself wanting to puke again from seeing him...well...

"Music." She said, pointing to the radio, "What kind do you like?"

"I don't waste my time like you humans do."

"Grumpy. Fine then... hmm..." Settling on Slipknot she turned it up a little louder and mumbled the words, "8, 7, 6, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..." She found herself tapping her foot to the beat and almost saying the words. Not liking the way Naraku was looking at her; she shook her head and asked if he was okay.

"What kind of music is this?" He tilted his head to the side once again. She swore he was a misunderstood child.

"Its rock music... a louder kind, I guess. Depends what kind of rock music you listen to."

He said, "I see." They continued on like that until Kat got annoyed and handed him the present that had been lingering there and reminding her it needed to be opened.

"Here." She muttered while picking up the gift and handing it to him, waiting for him to take it.

"Well?" She asked, he finally took it slowly. Tilting his head to the side he wondered what to do.

"Use your claws to open it."

He shredded the wrapping to pieces, tearing at it like a mad, well, animal, before stopping when his claws hit something hard. He looked down with his scarlet eyes at the dark colored dragon in his hands. The detailing was great, and it was roaring, resting on a bowl where you could put things.

"I figured you could use it for something... put things in it."

"Useless." He said, readying to throw it away but was held back by a glowing chain he knew all to well.

"Fine, it might be useless, but don't break it!"

She really didn't like wanting him to be here, right now, right there, but she couldn't fight it; Another thing that she was painfully aware of.

"Well... I think I should be getting to bed." Kat said tiredly as she looked up at Naraku from where she was and uncoiled her chain. He set the dragon down on the table and looked at her drowsy eyes. "Its been a long day." Naraku mumbled, stepping closer to her.

Again, for the second time that day, the demon wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him. She yawned and closed her eyes, resting her head on his chest. She really didn't think about who she was resting on, or what it was. She just fell into the darkness of her own world and yawned one last time before whispering, "Night."

Naraku didn't respond, just lightly picked her up and set her on the floor. He walked out of the hut smirking to himself, continued down the path towards the girls who were cooking in the company of the hanyou, miko, and monk then said, "Sleeping." The demon then left as quick as he came.

OOOO
