"Hiei..." she said weakly not really knowing what was going on or where she was. "Where am I?"
"He'll be here tonight as he has been for the last two nights Cat, and you're in the hospital" he said.
She looked at him a little confused. "Why did you call me that? How did I get here?" she asked.
"Because you have seven out of nine lives left..I brought you in, you passed out in Hiei's arms..." he said.
She sighed. "Who's the guy beating you up?" Kurama questioned hoping she'd give him an answer.
"Do I have to tell you?" she asked looking away.
"If you want us to keep you safe, then yes you have to tell me, so I can relay the message to Hiei" Kurama told her.
She sighed and hung her head. "My father" Catarina said not looking up at him.
It took Kurama a minute to process what she told him and he shook his head. "I've talked to your boss at the diner and he said he is letting you go, your father caused a scene and he cannot run the risk of him finding you again...it's time to allow Hiei to care for you" he told her.
"I have to think about it" She told him. "Alright, let Hiei know tonight" he told her.
She nodded. "Have I mentioned how grateful I am to you and Hiei?" she asked looking at him.
"Many times" he said.
"Well I am" she told him.
"Get some rest, you'll need it" he said smiling before leaving.
"I do have a question though" he said turning back around.
"What?" she asked almost afraid to answer him.
"Why haven't you turned him into the police?" he questioned.
This was her nightmare come true, she hated when people asked her this.
She sighed. "I have, I even showed them pictures of my bruises and my x-rays...they don't care, my father can do no wrong in their eyes...he was one of them...he was supposed to protect the community but he didn't. Protect and serve my ass" she snapped.
"I'm sorry you haven't had the best life but on the upnote when Hiei gets angry he will leave to cool off before raising a hand to anyone...unless you're an out of control demon who needs to be taught a lesson" he said.
"I'm not sure who's luckier in this case, me or Hiei, or both" she said under her breath as the nurse came in to take her vitals.
Kurama left and went home.
