I don't own Inuyasha or Naruto. Sorry for the long wait…

Despite Temari saying Kirara was Gaara's, she found herself giving the feline a bath. What was meant as teasing actually got her worried, what if Kirara tried to scratch Gaara? That didn't leave a nice thought, it would be sad that their first pet were to be killed. To her surprise though Kirara had welcomed the water and didn't even react to Temari washing the sand off with soap. Temari sat back as she watched the cat cleanse herself in her own way in the soapy water. She was perfect for Gaara…

Temari created a makeshift bed out of a spare pillow for kirara, as she laid in her new bed in her new home kirara looked up to Temari. Temari just smiled and knelt down to pet her in the head, "Night…I hope you can tolerate my little brother" and with that she went off to bed. Kirara watched Temari leave, when she was gone, kirara stretched and looked around. This was her new home…with her New Family….this place…was different from her old home…yet it was oddly similar…and the youngest boy…also gave off a demonic vibe…it was comforting. Her eye lids slowly grew heavy and she was asleep. It wasn't long though when she opened her eyes.She heard movement on the roof. She got up off her 'bed' and made her way up stairs. (Where the three's rooms were). The oldest boy's room was closed but she could hear him sleeping inside, so she made her way toward the sisters, her door was open and like the boy, she was sleeping, and someone else's room was open but empty.

Gaara was sitting on the edge of the roof, legs crossed, overlooking Sunagakure. Everyone was in their homes nestled under blankets from the deserts cold night. He heard a scuffling behind him and he looked out. "…why are you out here…?" Kirara just mewed in response and turned to motion her to get off the room…he should be sleeping. Gaara sighed, they already got the premise that she was an intelligent cat, and he knew what she was referring. "I don't sleep" he responded and turned away from the cat. She tilted her head, an odd child wasn't he? She didn't leave; instead she ran up to sit next to Gaara, looked up at him and mewed. He spared another glance for the cat. She crept closer and began rubbing her head against his thigh and began to purr. Gaara was still for a moment until he raised his hand over kirara, he gently lowered till it was about one inch above her head, not sure if he should pet the little feline. Kirara took the initiative and pressed her head into his palm.

Gaara removed his hand from Kirara's head and rested it on his lap. He sighed, "There's a monster inside me". She replied to his 'odd' confession by lying in the small space he had between his legs and falling asleep.

When Kirara opened her eyes she was in her make shirt bed, and a bowl of tuna in front of her. She ate up the tuna that she was given and quickly pounced up the stairs to find her new humans. The boy's room's doors were left open but the girl's door was closed. Didn't matter really Kirara would be able to know if anyone was in her room or not. At this moment though, Temari was not in her room. The boys were gone as well. Kirara went back toward Kankuro's room for he had left his window open. Time for a proper look at her new home.

As she walked down the dirt paths, people would glance at her two tails but thought nothing much of them. She brought herself to what seemed to be a training area; it was quite familiar, the children that were using the area had been around the same age as Sango and Kohaku had been when they began their training. She sat herself down and caught the attention of one of the children. The young girl had squealed and picked up kirara. That squeal had then caught the attention of the other children who quickly swarmed her. She would've snapped for all the grabbing and rough petting but…truthfully she had missed the attention…but now she got her fill. Kirara tried to squirm but these kids were persistent, right when she felt herself about to snap, the children stopped moving and went quiet. Kirara sniffed at the air and quickly looked at the roof of a building. "It's Gaara…" one said. "The Monster" said another. "We should leave." A young male with dirty blonde hair, he had decided to be the leader and start to walk away, the others followed suit, with kirara. She quickly jumped out of the childs arms who gasped at her escape.

She landed between the group of children and the building Gaara was standing on. Gaara stared down on them than leapt away. He knows when he isn't wanted, and children certainly didn't want him around, let alone the adults themselves. The children had returned to the way they acted before and beckoned kirara to come over, when she avoided them. Kirara turned to look at them but did the opposite of what they wanted. She ran away. They would have given chase but…she had leapt onto the building themselves and went toward Gaara's direction.
