A/N: For all kitten and puppy lovers
Nap time
A cat was slowly making its way towards her. It was submissive and moving with careful steps. She sighed and flickered a tail.
She was a superior being, no ordinary cat could just approach her. Felines were known as proud beings who followed their own paths, but they could recognize - and respect - those more powerful than them.
Lazily she looked above the cat, as if ignoring it. She spotted her humanoid companions - the kitsune kitten was drawing something, the old and the young miko sorting herbs, the hanyou perched on a nice thick branch of a tree above their heads and napping. Her own kitten - even if she was a human - was practicing throwing knives nearby while her intended was watching her. It was a nice afternoon and her tired group was resting in their home village.
A sudden soft noise drew her attention and she looked back to the cat. It was laying on its belly, tail flat against the ground behind it. A small offering of a fish was presented to her. She regally lifted her head and flickered both her tails as a sign of approval of the offering. Then she stood up slowly and approached the cat to lick its nose in a blessing. Then she snatched the fish and ignored the feline who ran away happily.
Kirara quickly ate her fish and decided to join the inu hanyou for a nap. His branch was basked in warm sunlight and his body would be a nice pillow. She leapt up with ease and landed with all her feet on Inuyasha's belly, waking him rather rudely.
"Oi!" she looked in a pair of golden eyes and purred an apology for disturbing his nap. He might be a dog, but there was no hate between them. As she kneaded his belly and curled up on top of the hanyou Kirara purred even louder. "Keh."
When Sango and Miroku joined Kagome and Kaede under the tree where they were sitting the youkai slayer couldn't hide a tiny smile which appeared on her lips when she saw Kirara napping in her favorite spot - on Inuyasha's chest.
