A/N: I had forgot to post this one and it was first in the folder on Deviant Art dammit! So I just went ahead and reordered the chapters that were already posted.
Anyways this is what I had done to close off Kats' involvement in Blood Sport over on Deviant Art.
Pairing: Kat/Scorpio
Rating: PG-13
Two days. It had been two days since Kat's encounter with that strange animal and that white female irken, who's name she didn't care to remember. The injuries she sustained having been patched up as best as she could get with her limited medical supplies. Ever since her fight she had been thinking if she was cut out for this. Yes she was trained and knew how to fight good enough but she had never killed anyone before up until that point. Before the idea alone unnerved her and now she didn't know what to think of it or even of herself for that matter.
Needing to get it off her chest she called out to the droid she let stay with her, "Stardust?"
The droid moved to where it would be hovering to her left. "Yes?"
"Do you think I'm cut out for all of this?"
"... What do you mean exactly?"
Exasperated Kat put the ship on autopilot before turning to look at the droid. "What I mean is, do you think I'm cut out for all of this killing this tournament involves? I never killed anyone before all of this! Hell I fought people and was trained but I never killed anyone before now!"
Stardust remained quiet. This was not something she knew how to handle. Then she registered what Kat told her, "Wait, if you never killed anyone before then why did you enter this tournament in the first place?"
"That's uh... not something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Oh and why not?"
"Well for one," Kat listed off the reasons on her fingers, "you're a droid, a camera bot to be exact, so it isn't really in my best interest to explain that when it's being broadcasted throughout the entire Irken empire and then some. Two, it's a private matter that I don't trust anyone with."
"That makes sense, but why do you ask me? You should really be asking yourself."
Stardust had a point there, she did need to ask herself that instead of a droid who wouldn't even see her again after this whole experience was done and over with. Truth be told though Kat didn't even know the answer herself. One side of her kept saying she was cut out for this but the other side kept telling her to back out and go home. That was better then staying here and likely ending up dead at the hands of some random opponent.
"Just do what you think is best for you, that's all you really can do in situations like this." Stardust told her before hovering back to where she was before.
Kat mumbled under her breath, "... Yeah, sure."
Turning the ship off of autopilot she had only one thought in mind, 'If I do drop out, then what would I be going back to?'
-Planet Raytrack - Five Months Later-
Okay, she took Stardust's advice to do what's best for her and decided to drop out of Blood Sport. It had been five months since then and during those five months a couple of things happened. One, her ship ran out of fuel ending up with her drifting through space and two, a transport ship for the planet known as Raytrack found her after four months of her endless drifting through space. It took a whole month before they finally landed down on Raytrack.
Upon landing down she was taken to the palace to see the King and Queen of the planet. Needless to say she was rather surprised when she saw who the King was...
"Zoreck?!"
A dark green male irken, with grey eyes, short black antennae with two grey ends and one black, wearing a long sleeved blue shirt, black jeans, black and blue shoes and a belt to finish the look turned to look at Kat after her outburst, "Kat?... What are- how'd you get here?"
"Hmm, well let's see," she started listing things off on her fingers, irritation evident in her voice, "I was heading home from a tournament I dropped out of, which is not important to talk about right now, and my ship ran out of fuel. So after I don't know, maybe a month or so, I get found by theses guys," she gestured towards the crew members of the transport ship, "only to wind up here, where I haven't been since training." her arms were crossed at this point, "Now tell me, why exactly are you here? Shouldn't you be back on Irk dealing with criminals or some shit?"
"First off, don't curse and second, you remember Rain right?"
Raising a non existent eyebrow Kat replied, "Whatever and yes, but what does she have to do with you being here?"
Zoreck rubbed the back of his neck, feeling rather awkward, "Well, we're married now. That's why I'm here on Raytrack."
Kat was silent for about two minutes before a sly smirk formed, "So the old mans still got some game huh?"
"I'm not that old Kat." he replied with a frown.
"How good are you to her hmm?"
"... That's none of your business. Now come with me." he started walking off towards a different part of the palace before looking back at her with a smirk to say, "I'm sure Rain would love to see her favorite little trouble maker again."
Kat ran over to him as he continued walking, "Fine, but I need a favor from you two."
"What is this favor?"
"Well..."
-On Earth - Four Months Later-
"Come on Scorpio you can't stay in your room forever!" shouted a pale green male irken with short black antennae with red ends, a red marking on his head, wearing a purple short sleeved shirt, gray pants and black boots. His red eyes rolled in annoyance when he heard his brother gave a muffled groan.
"I can try! Leave me the fuck alone Hulio!"
Hulio sighed in annoyance, "Come on! You've been in there ever since you heard Kat's message and since you and Ash fought about her entering that tournament! Now she's back here on Earth and you won't even go talk to her!"
"Hulio leave him alone."
Hulio turned around to see a light green male irken with short black antennae with red ends, a red marking on his head, wearing a red shirt, black jeans with a black and grey belt and grey boots. Annoyance was clearly evident in his red eyes.
"Ash, he needs to come out of there. He can't stay in there forever." Hulio said while crossing his arms.
Ash rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I know but trying to force him to come out of there isn't going to help, especially since you're yelling at him."
"But if I could just-" Hulio started only to get interrupted.
"No Hulio. Let him come out of there on his own and stop trying to force him."
Hulio threw his arms up in frustration before pointing at the black door leading to Scorpio's room, "He'll never come out of there Ash! He's to fucking proud to even admit that he was wrong and childish, and I know for a damn fact that he misses Kat!"
"Hulio watch your language!" Ash snapped.
"Let me finish!" Ash remained quiet, a little shocked at Hulio's outburst, "Thank you. Now I know he misses her, it's as clear as day, but he denies it and shrugs it off as nothing!"
The sound of the door slamming open caught both of their attention. They turned to see a dark green male irken with black antennae, a black 'S' marking on his head, wearing a black muscle shirt, grey jeans with two black chains and black boots.
"Did either of you even fucking bother to remember that I can still hear every damn word you're saying?!"
"Scorpio, I'm sure Hulio didn't mean to say any of-"
"I don't care! Now get the HELL away from my room and fucking leave me alone!"
The door slammed shut before either of them could say anything else. The two of them just looked at each other before going their onw way, Ash into his room while Hulio went to the science lab they have downstairs in the basement.
Scorpio had plopped down face first on his bed that consisted of grey pillows and black covers. He groaned in annoyance before turning to face his clock on the nightstand by the left side of the bed.
'9:35 p.m. ... Ugh screw it!' he thought before getting up to walk out of his room, then down the stairs and finally out the front door of the house slamming the door on his way out.
'Fuckin' Hulio and Ash got me pissed. I need some fresh air to cool down before I do something I might end up regretting later.'
It was dark out and being that him and his brothers live on the far side of town he didn't really see any need, or reason, to put on his hollo disguise before walking down the sidewalk. It was about thirty minutes later when he stopped to look around to see where he was before finally noticing an all too familiar black and acid green house.
'Might as well get this over with so I don't have to deal with Hulio complaining about me not seeing her...' he thought before walking up to the house and knocking on the door.
-Kat's house - 10:05 p.m.-
KNOCK KNOCK
"Ugh dammit!" Kat slammed the fridge shut in frustration before heading to the front door in her living room. She was currently wearing a purple muscle shirt and black boxers, her red hair was a mess, showing off the scarred and burnt part of her face. "Why can't people leave me alone when it's fucking dark outside?!" her hand grasped the handle, "All I want is to eat my leftover pizza and-" she opened the door, "-fucking laze around in my- Scorpio?!"
It took awhile before Scorpio responded to her, mainly because he was trying not to laugh at the fact that she answered the door the way she did, "Hey Kat. ...Can I um... come in?"
To say that it was awkward after Scorpio asked that would have been an understatement. Both were rather uncomfortable with even being near each other after their break up years ago.
"I think it's better if you just stay out there Scorpio."
"Well how about we talk out here then?"
"Why?"
"You said some things in your message to me that I want to talk to you about. I know it was months ago, but I just thought we could talk about it."
It took a couple of minutes before Kat relented and stepped out onto the porch closing the door behind her. "Okay, I'm out here. What did I say that you want to talk about?"
"Specifically the part where you said 'I just wanted to say that I love you and I always will.' What was that about anyway? My brothers got pissed at me when I told them it was a joke."
"... You thought it was a joke?" Kat asked, a hurt look in her eyes.
Scorpio was rather confused with the hurt look in Kat's eyes, "Well yeah. Was I not supposed to?"
"Not really! What you think I would just tell you that and it would be a fucking joke?! Are you fucking kidding me Scorpio?!"
"Well what did you expect I would think about it? Kat c'mon! With all the shit we went through I thought you were just joking around for shits and giggles."
"Anything else other than it being a fucking joke to you!" tears filled up in her left eye, it was then that Scorpio finally noticed her hair was out of the way of the right side of her face, "There's one thing that you keep forgetting about me and that's that I mean what I say! I don't joke around with anyone and you have the nerve to say that I'm joking when I say I love you?!"
Scorpio yelled back at her, getting annoyed by her rather quickly, "Why would you even love me after what you did?! You're the one that pulled out the knife first!"
"You're the one that hit me!" Kat countered back, "I was defending myself! If you hadn't believed all of those rumors we wouldn't of had that fight in the first place!"
"Rumors? There was physical proof of what you did!"
"Oh sure! There's proof that I'm a whore and a slut who only uses guys for sex! Scorpio I was twelve! Fucking twelve! Yet you believed everyone who said those things about me!"
"Well it fucking makes sense you bitch!"
"Oh so I'm a bitch now. You know when you said you wanted to talk about this, I didn't think you would act like a child over it!"
"I am not acting like a child Kat."
"Uh with how you're talking to me you most certainly are acting like a child. Why can't you just man up and say what you're really thinking instead of being a little cry baby about it for once!"
Scorpio was glaring at her by this point, "Strong words coming from the likes of you. You want to know what I'm think? Well fine then! I'm thinking that I shouldn't of come here to talk to you at all! I only came here so I wouldn't have to hear Hulio complaining about me not even trying to see you at all! To be honest I think it would've been better if I just left your worthless ass alone instead of trying to fix something that obviously can't be fixed no matter how hard we try!"
"Worthless?!"
"Yes worthless! All you've ever caused me, or anyone else, is bullshit drama over the simplest things and hurting people!"
"I have not!"
"Yes you have! You got Toru severely hurt when we were still in the academy, nearly made Tyhe and Violet break up multiple times, not to mention the fact that if you hadn't tipped off to Ria of Konan and Blade Hands working together in that training session he would still of had his left leg!"
"He's the one that defied her orders! We were specifically instructed to not team up with anyone during that training session! So pardon me for telling her like we were supposed to!"
"Your actions got his left leg cut off and his girlfriend nearly got shot in the throat!"
In his frustration Scorpio had slapped Kat across the face. It wouldn't of been bad if he had done it on the half of her face that was severely messed up, he had to go and do it the other half causing the stiches on her cheek to come a little undone. When Kat looked back him, a bruise already starting to form where he slapped her, he knew that he messed up. Now he would've apologized right away if Kat hadn't of punched him in the gut before turning around and opening the door to go back inside her warm house.
Scorpio was a little winded by her hit, but that didn't stop him from calling out to her, "Kat wait! I didn't mean to-" the door slammed shut in Scorpio's face before he could even say anything else to her.
Scorpio stood there, still shocked by what just happened between them with his hands on his stomach, for a couple moments longer before finally speaking quietly, "I'm sorry... Kat." he turned around and walked off in the direction of his house with one thought on his mind. 'I love you too... even though I don't always show it and can't bring myself to tell you.'
