AN: Hey guys I am back with chapter 2 of my Neko Girl story. I know my first chapter sucked ass and I do apologize for that. But, I am trying to get better. I still don't have Microsoft Word on my laptop, but I do have it on my home computer as it turns out. I will be able to use this on some chapters, but sadly not all of them since everyone are fighting to use the home computer. And if I want to update quickly, I may only do so from my laptop. Sorry for the in convince of this. But do bear with me for awhile. If you didn't read the AN from my last chapter then I will remind you that this chapter will not be written in first person point of view. Unless I say otherwise. Not much else to say so let me get the disclaimer out of the way then we can get started. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN YU YU HAKUSHO OR ITS CHARATERS; I DO HOWEVER OWN CAT A.K.A NEKO.

Flashback, Change of scenery or time and AN
It wasn't easy for Hiei to let the girl go like that. He wanted to question her more. The whole time he was there he had been listing in on her thoughts and found things that he was not comfortable with her knowing. More importantly he wanted to know how she even knew the relationship between himself and Yukina. So far Yusuke, Kurama, Botan, Shizuru, and that fool Koenma knew about her being his sister. That in itself was too uncomfortable for him, let alone someone whom he has barely met. He growled under his breath when Yukina lead the girl out. Kurama then came to stand beside him.
"I planted a seed that works as a tracking device to the back of the tag of Yukina's coat. We will go after her when she had stayed in a single place for awhile. I personally did not get the impression that she might want to harm us, but we can never be too careful." Kurama thought to Hiei. Hiei in turn nodded his head agreeing with the fox demon. Hiei had informed Kurama of the girl's knowledge of them. It seemed that she knew more about them then just Hiei's secret about Yukina.
"I am sorry that Cat could not stay over until the rain let off. But she seemed to be in a hurry and I did not want to impose. Still I cannot help, but feel bad for I was the one that brought her out here and kept her for so long. Hopefully she will be alright." Yukina said as she took a seat on one of the two couches next to Kuwabara. Kuwabara was about to put his arm around her as a comfort to her, but stopped when Hiei gave him a scary glare and growled. Instead he just crossed his arms in a pout.
"I highly doubt that she really wanted to leave my love. She seemed to be having fun until the shrimp went and opened his mouth. I mean seriously Hiei, lighten up would ya? She was just trying to be nice and be friends with us. You didn't have to scare her off ya know?" Kuwabara said to the fire demon, which in return just glared harder at the tall teen and growled even louder. Kuwabara shrank back a bit into the cushions at the sound and stare, but sent a weak glare of his own to Hiei. This obviously had no effect on Hiei who was the master of evil glares.
"I don't know Kuwabara, that girl seemed a bit off to me if you ask my opinion." Yusuke said as he turned back to his fighting game. He was starting to suffer withdrawals form not playing so long. "Something tells me that she knew more than she was letting on. I don't know why, but I got the impression that she already knew us. The feeling got worse when Hiei and Kurama came in. She looked scared and suddenly she has to go home now? I don't know my man; I think she is hiding something. Strangely enough though, I never got the feeling that she wanted to hurt us."
"I agree with Yusuke," Kurama spoke as he moved away from Hiei to sit on the second couch. "Hiei was reading her thoughts when we came in and found that she does indeed know a thing or two about us. Wither or not this is bad or good news I can't say for certain. But, I know that it could be bad if one of our enemies were to get a hold of the information that she has. I highly doubt that Koemna would want a normal human knowing about us anyway." He spoke matter of fact, Yusuke was actually quite proud of himself. Hey if the smartest person in the group agreed with you, then that has to mean that you have some sort of brain right?
"But Cat seemed genuine to me. Even when she helped me get away from the group of men that were harassing me. I do not think that she means us any harm. I hope not, I would very much like to be friends with her." Yukina put in softly. There was no doubt in her mind that Cat was a bad person. She saw the kindness in her when she offered to help carry the shopping bags to the temple and she saw the determination to protect when she went to Yukina's aid. Those were good traits to the little ice demon. Traits that were rare and far in between, expect for those in their small group. Adding one more shouldn't hurt, right?
"No one is saying that Cat was faking kindness to you Yukina. We just don't feel comfortable with her knowing so much about us when we know so little of her I guess. We are not going to harm her, but Hiei and I will question her about a few things that is all. No harm will come to her, and if she tells the truth, then perhaps we can keep her here for awhile as a member of our group." Kurama was quick to assure to ice demon. Lord knows that Hiei would have a fit if she started to cry at the idea of not seeing Cat again. It seems Yukina had really gotten attached to the girl in such a short amount of time.
"What are you doing here anyway Hiei? I thought you would still be in the Makai training for the next tournament. Mukuro finally letting you off your leash?" Yusuke joked only to fall face first into the floor with a huge lump on his head. Hiei, who was leaning against the wall only a second ago, was lowering his right fist back to his side from behind the fallen detective. "Hn, I thought you knew better then to tease me detective. Mukuro has no leash on me. If anyone were to have a leash it would be you. If you were listing, the fox asked me here."
Yusuke jumped to his feet to tower over the fire demon. "IT WAS A JOKE HIEI! A FUCKING JOKE! GROW A SENSE OF HUMOR IF YOU CAN'T GROW AN INCH!" He was once again on the floor, only now he was holding his stomach from the blow that Hiei had inflicted with his elbow. The fire demon now had a vein popping in his head while everyone else had a sweat drop.
"Yes, I asked Hiei to come by and stay for a while on Koemna's behalf. You see early this afternoon, a portal appeared and seemed to transport something into the Human World. However when checked, the portal did not come from neither the Spirit World nor the Demon World. In fact, it appears as if the portal may have come from an entirely different dimension. By the time Spirit World's intelligence went to the place where the portal had appeared it was gone and whatever crossed over was missing as well. Koenma would like us to investigate into this matter for awhile as Spirit World is short on staff." Kurama explained. Everyone had a different response to that. Kuwabara was actually excited about the case. He hasn't been on one in years since Yusuke was fired as Spirit Detective and he missed the action. Hiei just gave off an annoyed HN and muttered something about damned babies that were too lazy to get off his royal fat ass and do some work. Yusuke was more than displeased about it.
"What the hell does that pacifier sucking toddler expect me to do about it? He fired me four years ago, I am no longer in debut to him and I don't have to answer to him anymore! Tell him to get off his lazy diaper wearing ass and tell him to look into it! Besides Keiko will kill me if she finds out I took a case from Spirit World. I promised her that my days as a Spirit Detective were done."
"That's why he is asking as a favor only Yusuke. We really don't have to do this, but I had thought that we had nothing better to do and we shouldn't be doing any fighting. Just looking into things and reporting what we have found that's all that we would be doing Yusuke. Besides, this would give us a reason for the four of us to hang out again; get to know what we have all been doing with our lives."
Yusuke gave in after hearing that. He had to admit, he was bored too and it would be nice for the four of them to get together again. "Fine, I'll do it. Only because I got nothing better to do. Keiko should understand this as long as there is no fighting."
"Good. Now, according to Koemna, the portal had opened up sometime around one in the afternoon in the city closest to here. The portal had quickly shut itself up after it had brought something over. What that something is, no one knows for certain. But no trouble has come of it so far." Kurama said with a thoughtful look on his face. Yukina then gasped, catching everyone's attention. "What is it Yukina?"
"I met Cat around one o'clock this afternoon when I went to the store. You and Mister Hiei said that she seemed to know more about us than she was letting on. What if the thing that came through the portal was her? Does that mean she is a bad person or was it accidental?" Yukina exclaimed in a panic voice. She had grown attached to her and invited her into her home. If she was indeed an enemy of her friends, then she had just leaded her to them. Oh Yukina couldn't bare the guilt if she had.
"I doubt it was an accident that she came here. She knew about us and lied about it. If she was brought here on her own will, then she very well could be an enemy. If not, then she was brought here by mistake and has no intensions of harming us. If anything the onna could be just as confused about the situation she is in." Hiei confronted his sister. She seemed to take his line of thinking well and relaxed somewhat. Hiei found himself hoping that the girl was not brought here by choice. He didn't want his sister to cry if he had to kill the girl to protect the group. Screw what the rules say, if anyone meant harm to his family, he was not going to let the offender off so easily.
"The only way we are going to get an answer to that would be to ask her ourselves. Hiei and I will follow the tracking seed I put on her and bring her back. If all is well, then we will take her to Koemna and offer our protection. If not, well, we would still have to take her to Spirit World and let Koemna decide her fate." With that said, Kurama and Hiei both took their leave into the rainy night.
With Cat
Cat tried her hardest to get some sleep, she really did. But it seemed impossible with the coldness of the night and the sound of the pouring rain. 'I wish I had my ipod. At least I could block out the sound of the rain then. As for the cold, not much I can do about that. God, I am so going to get sick from this.' Cat thought to herself as she squeezed herself into a tighter ball for warmth. She wasn't soaked yet, but freezing to the bone was still unpleasant. Cat had finally come to the conclusion that she had not lost her mind at all, nor was this a dream. However it had happened, Cat was now living in the world of her favorite anime, and she was scared shitless.
'What am I going to do? I don't have any money or any form of ID that could help me land a job. I am so screwed.' She let out a few coughs and sneezes. A sign that things were about to get worse for her. Poor cold little thing. Her glasses had drops of water from the rain and were blurring her vision. She wanted to wipe them clean, but they would just get wet all over again. Besides she wanted to remain dry as possible.
Of course the closest park around had no bathroom for shelter, so she was stuck curled up under the tree with the most leaves and branches to keep her semi dry. He back was to the trunk of the tree and her head lay on her knees. She was trying to get some sleep again, though she knew it would be useless. And that was how they found her. She didn't even hear them approach her until they were right in front of her.
"Hello again Cat, what are you doing out here? I thought you were going home to your father who was so worried about you?" Cat looked up in shock and fright when she heard Kurama's voice. It held no sarcasm nor did it sound angry, but if you read in between the lines, you could tell that he was not happy at being lied too. Neither was his companion, who stood silently by his side.
"Um, hi Shuichi and Hiei. What brings you two out here on this cold and rainy evening?" Cat asked as she slowly got to her feet. The urge to run far away came over her, but she had nowhere to go. Both the demons were blocking her means of escape, so she was stuck between a rock and a herd place. Or more acutely a tree and two demons. 'How the hell did they find me? I knew they wouldn't believe me about going home and all, but to actually come and find me? What the hell did I do to deserve this?'
"Drop the act onna. We know that you know all about us. How, well that's what we are here to find out." Hiei said as he stepped just a little closer to tower over Cat. Hey, Hiei is 4ft 10in; he has two inches on her. He was going to use his glare and height to his advantage of scaring her into telling him what he knows.
"What are you talking about Hiei, I just met you today and we didn't exactly get a chance to talk." Cat didn't know why she continued to lie. Maybe on some level she thought that even if she told the truth, they still wouldn't believe her. Hell, she herself had a hard time believing to. She moved back away from Hiei and ended up bumping into the tree. 'What are the chances of me getting away from them and running to the nearest home?'
"Your chances of you getting away are nonexistent onna. Now you could either tell the truth on your own or I could just rip it out of your memories, and if that should happen I will be sure to make it as painful as possible." Hiei's voice boomed in her head. She nearly jumped up the tree when she heard him. "Holy crap! Don't do that. Its freaky and an invasion of my privacy." Hiei just gave her a cruel looking smirk in response.
"Cat, let's be honest here. We know that you are not from here and that you somehow know about us. What we need to know is how you got here and why. We don't want to hurt you. Do we Hiei?" The last sentence was meant as a warning to the fire demon, who took a step back from Cat, but did not lessen his glare. Cat tore her eyes away from Hiei's red ones and looked at Kurama's emerald ones. She found that he honestly did not want to hurt her, so she sighed and sat back down on the muddy ground. "Ok, I'll tell you the truth. I honestly have no idea how I got here. I was at work on my lunch break reading a manga about Yu Yu Hakusho and then a bright light came out of nowhere. I blacked out, and then when I came to, I was here. That's all. I swear."
Kurama listened carefully Cat explained what happened. He could tell that she was telling the truth. And Hiei was reading her mind, discreetly, to see if she was telling the truth. When Hiei nodded his head at Kurama, Kurama extended a hand to Cat to help her up. "There that wasn't so hard was it? Let's get you to the temple to warm up; you can stay there for now. But I do have a question."
Cat took his hand and he gently pulled her up. "What's your question?"
"What's a Yu Yu Hakusho?"
AN: That's it for now. Chapter 2 I think came out way better then chapter 1. Mostly due to the fact that it was not written in first person. Um, not much to say so just review if you want. See you next time. Oh by the way, this chapter took up 6 pages on Microsoft word, so I am sorry if it seems small on fanfiction.
