(RECAP)

"Kiotsu's part demon?", asked Katanna incrediously.

"You know i'm right here", said Kiotsu.

"Gomen", said Katanna.

"It's okay", said Kiotsu.

"So", said Mazima,"How much has changed in the future? If you don't mind me asking."

"Sure", said Katanna as she told them about the future and smiled to herself as their eyes got wider and wider and wider.

Disclaimer: I own everybody so far! Yay me! But I don't own the InuGang! Okay?

Chapter 3

Katanna was about to tell them about indoor plumbing when Kiotsu suddenly stiffened.

"Are you okay?" asked Katanna.

"Excuse me", said Kiotsu, getting up," I just think i'll take a walk. The full moon should be very lovely tonight."

Mazima's eyes seemed to widen in understanding and she nodded. "Alright. You can go."

Kiotsu nodded and went to head out the door but Katanna got up and said," That's a wonderful idea. I'll come too."

Kiotsu looked at Mazima, pleadingly and she said," Maybe you shouldn't go. There are many demons out at this time."

"Kitosu'll be there", said Katanna," and i've always enjoyed the full moon."

Kitosu looked outside as the sun set and sighed. "I guess it's too late to try and hide it now."

'Huh?' Katanna thought, when suddenly there was a pulse in the air and Kiotsu started to change.

First, his ears grew into points. Then, his fangs and claws lengthened. Two jagged violet stripes lay on each side of his face and on the wrists of his hands. A slight ring of red surrounded his golden orbs, completing the transformation.

Katanna stared at Kiotsu in open-mouthed shock. He kept his eyes adverted from hers and settled for looking at the hut wall.

Katanna finally got over her shock and stepping up to him, said," Kiotsu? What happened?"

"It's the full moon", said Kiotsu.

"I mean, why are you. . . ", Katanna motioned to his new features.

Kiotsu sighed and looked at her. "I'm a quarter demon. Every month, on the full moon, my human blood becomes dormant, letting my demon blood take over but i'm able to control myself, unlike. . . " Kiotsu trailed off, as his face saddened as if he was remembering something. He quickly shook out of it and said," Anyways, when this happens, I become, in a ways, a full demon rather than a human, like I do on the half moon before the full moon."

"So you're saying", said Katanna," On the full moon, you become a full demon?"

There was a pause before she said," Cool! That kinda makes you sound like a werewolf!"

"A werewolf?" Kiotsu questioned.

Katanna blinked before she shook her head, and said," Nevermind. So how long do you stay like this?"

"Until the sun rises", Kiotsu replied.

"So how is a Full Demon different from a Quarter Demon?" asked Katanna.

"Well", said Kiotsu," other than appearences, as a full demon, i'm faster, stronger, and if I wanted too, I could hear a twig snap, in the middle of the forest."

"Wow", said Katanna," That's so cool."

Katanna suddenly let out a yawn and said, sheepishly," I guess i'm still a little tired."

"You've had a lot of things happen to you to today", said Mazima," I think i'll get to sleep, too."

Mazima went to a futon against one of the walls of the hut. Katanna laid down and looked as Kiotsu went and sat by the door.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" asked Katanna.

"No", said Kiotsu, shaking his head," On my demon night, I have a lot more energy then usual, so. . . . I couldn't sleep if I wanted too. I usually just just sit and watch out if any demons decide to attack, but since you're here, i'll be protecting you too."

Katanna nodded and said," Alright."

Katanna burrowed into the covers, feeling strangely safe, with Kiotsu's presence.

"Oyasuminasai, Kiotsu", she said.

"Oyasuminasai", she heard him reply before she finally went to sleep.

--------------------

A 4 year old Katanna peeked out from behind the couch, her eyes wandering as she looked around. Suddenly, from behind her she heard asmall squeak from the cushions on the couchand she immediately leaped out of the way as her 16 year old babysitter pounced behind the couch, landing with an "oomph" as she kissed her new friend. . . . . the carpet.

Katanna giggled, her emerald eyes twinkling, and the skirt of her simple yellow dress, billowing behind her as she leapt on to the couch to gaze at the now disgruntled light brown haired girl.

"Come on Katanna! This is getting old! Now you need to get to bed", she said, her face in a frown, yet her eyes shining in amusement.

Katanna giggled and said," But Serena, i'm not tired and this is just so fun!"

"For you maybe", Serena mumbled, but a small smirk flitted across her face.

Suddenly, without warnig, Serena leaped up and grabbed her, but falling over onto the couch and onto the floor in doing so with Katanna on top of her. She held her tight against her and rolled over as her fingers along the small child's sides.

Katanna writhed on the floor as she burst into fits of laughter.

"Serena!" she gasped out," St-Stop... it... I-I...I give. . . please st-stop!" She burst into another fit of giggles.

Serena stopped her assault on the young girl and got up. On being set free, Katanna leaped up and on to her babysitter's turned back. Due to the sudden extra weight, Serena lost her balanced and crashed to the floor. Serena turned over and Katanna ran her hands over the babysitter's stomach, where she knew was the only place she was ticklish.

Suprised, at her weakness having been revealed, Serena was suddenly overcome with laughter and she tried to pull the young child off from her.

"K-Katanna!", she gasped, a large grin on her face and tears at the corners of her eyes," Stop!"

She rolled over, causing Katanna to fall off and she pinned the young girl's arms against her body as she held her against her chest.

Katanna struggled and said," Nooooo! I refuse to be defeated!"

Serena laughed at how serious she had sounded and said," This is what you get for using my weakness against me!" and she started another assault.

Katanna giggled and gasped as she tried to overcome the light tickling sensation caused by the teen's fingers along her sides.

Finally, when Katanna started pleading and gasping for air, Serena stopped and they both fell on the backs on the living room carpet. They lay there catching their breath and then they looked at eachother and Serena started laughing, thinking of how stupid she must have acted and Katanna started giggling because Serena was laughing.

Finally, as they gasped for air again, there was a knock on the door.

"Huh...", said Serena, between gasps for air," I wonder... who that... could be. It's only 7:45."

Serena got up and went into the hall to answer the door. Katanna heard Serena open the door and got up to stand in the doorway connecting the living room and the hall.

Katanna saw a woman with dark brown hair pulled into a low ponytail with dark blue eyes that matched the uniform she was wearing and the glinting shiny badge on her chest. She heard the woman talking about something and she heard Serena stiffen and a gasp emerge from her throat.

Katanna decided to listen in on the conversation.

"Wh-What did you say?" said Serena

"I'm sorry", said the woman," but it's true."

"But what am I supposed to do?" said Serena," How am I supposed to tell a 4 year old girl her parents are dead?"

Katanna froze as the words went through her mind.

...parents are dead...parents are dead...parents are dead...parents are dead.

Katanna felt her world crash.

"no..."

Serena stiffened and turned around. Katanna stood in the middle of the hall, looking at Serena but not really seeing her.

"No...No! NO!"

"Katanna. . . ",said Serena.

"It's not true!" Katanna shouted as she ran past Serena and the woman and out the door into the rain.

"Katanna!" Serena called after her.

But Katanna couldn't hear her. Couldn't feel the cold rain pounding down on her or how she was getting soaked to the bone. Couldn't hear Serena's faint crys and the pounding of the rain. All the was aware of was that she had been told her parents were dead. . . but she couldn't believe that. She was going to find them.

"Mommy! Daddy!" she cried out into the rain," Where are you?"

She ran and ran until she couldn't walk anymore and she collapsed in the middle of the road. Her emerald eyes filled with tears. Her ebony hair plastered against her face and body. Her lip quivering as she failed to hold back the sobs emerging from her throat. The salty tears mixing with the rain drops as they rolled down her face. Her yellow dress now soaked and sticking to her like a second skin. Her hands and knees scraped from collapsing to the ground. She was a perfectly misrable sight.

"Mommy...Daddy...", she croaked," Where are you? You can't be dead." She said helplessly as more tears rolled down her cheeks. "Good people aren't supposed to die."

She heard a horn blaring and looked up to see 2 large bright lights coming closer to her and Katanna froze, pupils dialating as the16 wheeler(Is that right?)truck came closer and closer as the tires struggled to stop with a screech on the wet road.

(End dream/memory sequence)

Katanna shot up, a scream caught in her throat, eyes wide, covered in a cold sweat. Katanna stayed like that for a while before she finally remembered to breathe and took deep gulping breaths.

"Are you okay?"

Katanna snapped her head to the side to see 2 golden eyes, looking at her, worriedly.

Katanna gulped at how close Kiotsu was and turned her face the other way to hide her blush as she said," I'm okay. Really. It was just. . . "

"What?" said Kiotsu," Did you have a nightmare?"

"I guess you could call it that", said Katanna," but it was more like a. . . . bad memory."

Katanna saddened as she recalled the memory.

"So. . .", said Kiotsu," Do you mind if I ask what it was about?"

"It was about. . . my parents", Katanna replied softly.

"Oh. . .", said Kiotsu.

"Kiotsu. . .", said Katanna," I've just been wondering. . . Is Mazima you're mother?"

Kiotsu smiled sadly and said," No. Unfortunately, I never knew my parents. Mazima told me she found me in a bush as a tiny infant and i've lived with her since."

"Oh", said Katanna," I'm sorry."

"It's okay", said Kiotsu," So. . . how do you plan to get back to your time? I'm sure your family's worried about you."

Katanna sighed sadly and said," No they're not."

"What do you mean?" said Kiotsu," Why wouldn't they be?"

"Because", said Katanna," I don't have a family. My parents are dead and I don't have any other family."

"Then. . . ", said Kiotsu," Who takes care of you?"

Katanna's features hardened as she said," I live at an orpahnage."

At seeing his confused look, she quickly explained what an orphanage was.

"Wouldn't the people there be worried about you?" said Kiotsu.

Katanna snorted and said," Nobody there would care what happens to me. They're just waiting until I turn 18 and can get out of their hair. Especially Takira."

Kiotsu noticed how she spat her name like it was posionous.

"Why do you hate this Takira person so much?" asked Kiotsu.

"You would hate her too if you knew what she was like", said Katanna.

"Why don't you induldge me, then?" said Kiotsu.

"Gladly", said Katanna," She's an evil conniving witch who hates me and likes to make my life miserable."

Recalling the bruises, he asked, softly," Was she the one who gave you the bruises?"

Katanna got up and turned around and said," Can we just drop this?" Then in a pleading voice, with all traces of hate and anger gone, she said softly," Please?"

Kiotsu heard the pain and pleading in her voice and said," I'm sorry. It wasn't my buissness in the first place."

Katanna sighed, turning around, shoulders slumped. "It's alright. I probably would have been the same way."

"You should probably get back to sleep", said Kiotsu, leading her to the futon," You look tired."

"You're probably right", said Katanna, laying down.

Kiotsu laid the blanket back over her and said," Oyasuminasai. . . again."

Katanna smiled and said," Oyasuminasai to you too."

Kiotsu smiled back and said," You should smile more often. It makes you look pretty."

Katanna blushed and turned over so her back was to Kiotsu.

Kiotsu went to sit by the door and watched as Katanna drifted off to sleep and her features softened, making her look. . . peaceful.

Kitosu sighed and thought,' She really does look prettier when she smiles.'then blushed and startedlistening out for any danger in the forest.

A/N: Hey guys! I hoped you like that! I just suddenly got the idea for this and well. . . here you've got it! Next chap, Katanna's going to be faced with her biggest problem. . . . how's she going to get back home? Duh duh duh!
