Hope everyone had a happy holiday! The next chapter is up and ready to go! Thanks again for all the reviews!

Previous Chapter: Hatorra lowered her eyes. She was tired and cold. Kat was pregnant. They would never survive this.

"Yomi that is enough! Stop this while you still can!" Mukuro tried once more.

Yomi shook his head.

"I will do what is necessary to achieve what I want," he said coldly.

Hiei tried to find his voice, but he knew it would only fall on deaf ears. A demon stepped forward.

"Congratulations on making it this far…" he began.

Kat growled annoyed.

"Enough of this! Where is Kurama? Why is Yomi doing this to us?" she tried.

Hatorra stood quiet. She had a bad feeling about all of this. The demon stared at Hatorra.

"How much do you value your friendship?" he asked her.

Hatorra's eyes widened.

"What does that have to do with anything?" she asked annoyed.

The demon guard chuckled.

"I want to know how much it would take for you to kill her," he said calmly.

Hatorra froze. Kat closed her eyes. This wasn't good. It was Kurama's turn to take a step forward, his eyes alert and calculating. His mate was pregnant.

"Why are you doing this?" Kat yelled at him.

Hatorra stared at the demon and spoke.

"He wants me to kill you so that Yomi has a reason for war," she said quietly.

The demon guard smirked evilly. He motioned to another guard, who brought out a wriggling sack.

"I've even brought incentive," he said and the women's eyes widened as he pulled out Daisuke from the sack.

Kat cried out and Hatorra held her back. The demon guard put a knife to Daisuke's throat.

"We tried for the little girl, but she's a quick one. We got this one instead. Would you kill her if we threatened to kill him?" he asked and threw the dagger down to the ground at their feet.

Hatorra looked at the dagger and then slowly up at Kat. She knew what was coming.

"Kat—"

"—pick it up Hatorra," she said firmly.

Hatorra shook her head.

"I-I can't…" she choked out feeling the tears forming.

Kat glared at her.

"That is my son, your nephew, are you going to let him die? Pick it up and do it!" she yelled.

Hatorra felt the tears fall from her eyes.

"N-No! I wouldn't just be k-killing you!" she argued.

"It doesn't matter! Daisuke is up there terrified and he is going to need you when this is over. And you will be there for him. I trusted you in our old future, now you trust me in this one. Pick it up," she said quickly.

Hatorra stumbled over to the dagger and picked it up weakly. She was shaking and wasn't sure if it was from the sickening feeling in her gut or the onset of hypothermia. She turned to Kat slowly.

"M-Mom! Mom!" Daisuke screamed.

"He will forgive you," Kat whispered.

Hatorra shook her head.

"How? When I won't be able to forgive myself," she murmured.

"This is taking too long. Kill her or he dies!" the guard shouted.

Hatorra closed her eyes tightly. Kurama couldn't breathe. Mukuro shook her head and turned to Hiei.

"We must prepare the army for war," she whispered.

Hiei didn't move or speak. He watched the screen unblinkingly. Hatorra looked up at the guard and then at Kat. She shook her head.

"I can't do—" but Kat had already run into the dagger she held.

Hatorra stumbled back and held her friend tightly in her arms, her eyes wide. Kat slumped against Hatorra, blood spilling from her mouth. Daisuke screamed in terror and tears fell from his eyes.

"M-Mom!" he cried.

"No!" Kurama shouted covering his face.

"P-Protect m-my s-son," Kat whispered.

Hatorra's eyes stood wide as tears fell from them. She couldn't move. Kat smiled sadly.

"P-Protect our k-kids f-from the war I j-just c-caused…I'm s-sorry," she mumbled.

Then she fell to the ground as her blood pooled around her. Hatorra felt like she was in a daze. She couldn't move. The guard let Daisuke go and he began running to the women at top speed. Kurama turned to Yomi, his eyes gold.

"I'm going to kill you," he said, his voice deeper.

Then screaming was heard. Yomi's ears pricked up and Kurama turned to face the screen quickly.

"This is bad!" Yusuke yelled, as Kat stood up behind Hatorra.

Her eyes were a dark blue. They almost looked black. Her skin color was a navy blue, darker than any blue she had ever turned. Daisuke stopped running to the women and paused.

That's my mother…why am I not running to her? Why is my mind telling me to run away?

Hatorra turned around slowly to see Kat in her demon form. Her eyes widened. She had never seen this full form before. Kat smirked. She looked at the demons in Yomi's army surrounding them.

"You're all fools…did you really think a puny dagger could kill me?" she asked.

Her voice was cold and deep. There was no essence of the Kat they knew for so long. Hatorra dared to look away from her and at Daisuke, who looked at her fearfully.

"How is she still breathing? You didn't follow through on our deal! Kill them all!" the demon guard ordered.

But he got no response. Hatorra gasped and Daisuke didn't have time to scream. Kurama and Hiei's eyes widened and Yusuke cursed. Mukuro stared at the screen, not believing her eye. Yomi frowned.

"What is that overwhelming stench?" he asked crinkling his nose.

"That's blood Yomi…that woman just viciously murdered your men out there…in seconds," Mukuro said in clear shock.

Yomi shook his head.

"I don't believe you," he said in denial.

Hatorra stared at a bloody Kat in horror. Kat licked her lips.

"It's been awhile since I've tasted blood…I've missed it," she cackled.

Daisuke had walked up to Hatorra and grabbed onto her nightgown tightly. Kat looked at him.

"What's wrong little one? You look so scared," she teased.

Hatorra pulled Daisuke carefully behind her. Kat glared up at her friend as Hatorra stood in front of Daisuke.

"What? Think I'm going to hurt him?" she said licking her lips again.

Then she nodded.

"You'd be right!" she yelled and Hatorra just dodged a lethal swipe of Kat's claws.

She dropped down with Daisuke a few feet away and flinched. Her leg throbbed and she had reopened the wound. Daisuke clung to her tightly. Kat tilted her head and looked at the demon guard. She had left him alive. He was currently staring at his fallen men.

"I'll be back for you…first I want to eat him," she said to Hatorra and then took off after the demon guard.

Mukuro turned to Yomi.

"It's over Yomi. Let us out now so we can try to fix the things we still can," she said calmly.

Yomi was in shock. He couldn't believe his one quarter of his army was gone just like that. The door sparked and then opened slightly. Kurama and Hiei were the first ones out followed by Yusuke. Mukuro stood behind staring at Yomi, who stared at the monitor with his blind eyes.

What have I done?

Hatorra watched Kat bite into the demon guard with glee. Daisuke buried his face in her waist. She was about to speak to him when a searing pain hit her head.

"Mommy! Daddy! Grandpa's here!" Kasei screamed through their link.

Hatorra's eyes widened.

"Kas, where are you?" Hatorra linked back quickly.

"I'm in the woods by the temple. He's looking for me. I lost the others when we split up. What do I do?" she asked feebly.

"Stay hidden," Hiei linked in as he arrived by Hatorra.

She turned to him and spoke before he did.

"Go to her," she said quickly.

Hiei wanted to, but stared at his mate.

"And you?" he linked quickly.

"Who cares about me? She needs you and fast. You can get there in minutes. I'll just slow you down with my wound. Now go," she linked back.

Hiei looked at her a moment longer before taking off into the forest and disappearing. Yusuke frowned.

"Where the hell is he going?" he asked.

Hatorra turned to him.

"My father has attacked the temple. He's after Kasei," she answered.

Yusuke's eyes widened.

"Well this just isn't our day is it?" he asked and Hatorra nodded.

"You should go help him," she said to him after a moment of silence.

Yusuke looked conflicted. He wanted to go help, but he felt he was needed here as well.

"Go Yusuke. My sister and I will handle Kat. Make sure the kids are safe. Take Daisuke with you please," Kurama said calmly.

Yusuke looked at him.

He's so scary when he's calm.

Kat had mutilated the guard and turned to them, her fangs dripping wet with blood. Yusuke turned to Hatorra and nodded.

"Be careful," he said and took off with Daisuke in his arms, into the forest.

Kurama turned to Hatorra, who looked back at him.

"If we can't bring her back—" he started, but she cut him off.

"—brother, I have known Kat my whole life. She always comes back. We just have to help her," she said smiling some.

Kurama let a small smile show through.

Kat was right…she's a terrible liar.

I hope you like it! More to come! Please remember to try to give me reviews! I love them! :D
