Important: Sorry about the few who were a little confused while reading this chapter so I made a few changes and I hope that it'll clear some things up if not then I'll be happy to answer any questions that you might have.

(Authoress Note: Okay you are probable saying 'hey I thought this had to do with Kat's life before and after meeting the team.' Well, it is I'm just setting the stage. Okay, in this chapter I'm giving up on doing one person point of view it's hard. And I envy anybody who can. Okay on this chapie. Oh, yeah, did I mention that this is ~talking telepathically~? Also, what is the rat faced teacher's name and what does he teach?)

Chapter 3: A Surprise at School

At school, about three days later, Katsumi was actually at school and showed up early, of course she didn't wear her uniform. She started to nod off, although it was her first class, but the sound of the bell ringing her woke up. Behind her, she heard Yusuke tiptoeing to his seat and trying to make it before the teacher turned around to notice, but his effort failed.

"Mr. Urameshi, thanks for joining us today," he said never turning around. His voice caused Yusuke to jump.

"Yeah, yeah. I had to come," he said sitting. "Someone threaten me. So, get of my back you crazy old rat," he added under his breath. Katsumi couldn't help but laugh.

~Nice, one, cuz. I take it Keiko was the one who threatened you?~ she asked trying not to draw any attention.

~Yeah,~ he replied.

"Everyone get out a piece of paper and get ready to take notes," said the rat face.

She got out a piece of paper and 'started' to take notes, which were more like doodles than notes. She was also starting to zone out (Zoning out is cool. Hehehe sorry.).

"Miss. Sage? (You'll find out later why this is her last name.)" the rat face said. "MISS. SAGE," he repeated. Katsumi continued to look at her doodles. "MISS. SAGE," he angrily next to her.

"WHAT?" she asked back in 'that' tone (you know the one. When you raised your voice at you parents and then they would say 'don't you use that tone of voice with me'. Yeah it's that one.) but never looking up. The class all gasped, normally they just heard Yusuke talk back but that was normal.

Yusuke and Kuwabara sensed her power raising. ~Yo, Kat, calm down,~ Yusuke said to her.

She let out a sigh. "Yes, sir. What do you want?" she said still not looking up slyly.

"Can you answer the problem up on the board?" he questioned knowing that she probably didn't know the answer.

"Sure, I'll be happy too," she said nonchalantly as she casually made her way to the board, looked at it for a second, then started to write down the answer, no more that a minute later she was finished. She quickly glanced at what she wrote then made her way back to her seat. "There are you happy. I answered you stupid question, and by the way, you made a mistake in writing it. But don't worry, I fixed it for you," she replied taking her seat. She not once looked up at him.

She could tell by the way that everyone was whispering that he was dumbfounded, and she watched his feet walk away.

How…how did she know how to do that problem so fast, not to mention the problem at all? That's an advance college level problem. And she even knew that I made a mistake, he thought to himself in disbelief, as he checked her work. No, she has got to have made a mistake, he thought again double checking her work but coming up empty handed.

"Am I right?" she cocked. "and I really don't think that we are on that type of problem yet. Maybe if we were in college but not now," she added with some attitude.

"How did you do this? You must have cheated," the rat said looking at her in utter disbelief.

"I have my ways. Actually, I got really bored one day and I found a math book and started to read it," she replied maniacally. The class started to whisper again, and she was able to hear everything that they said. A smile came to her lips as she closed her eyes, as she slouched down in her seat and placed her feet on the desk in front of her, while placing her head on the back of her chair.

"Nice, one. Talk about being really bored," whispered Yusuke behind her.

"Thanks," she whispered back tilting her head back slightly so that he could hear.

For the rest of the class, the rat didn't call on Katsumi.

"Finally, the only time of day that I look forward too," sighed Kat walking to the tree that she left Kage at, earlier that morning.

She was about to jump up into the tree, when she felt someone squeezed her waist. She let out a small squeak. She turned around to slap who ever did that, but no one was there. Then she was going to turn back around when, two strong but gentile arms snaked their way around her waist, stopping her from turning around and picked her up slightly, so that she was on her tippytoes. (Yes, I know that isn't a real word, but I just like it. So, I said it.)

She was about to struggle, but something about this person made her stop.

"Who are you? And what do you want with me?" she asked getting angry. The person didn't answer but let out a laugh. "Why are you laughing? Am I that funny?" she asked getting even more angry, but she still didn't struggle.

The person playfully squeezed her tighter while questioning back in an evil tone to disguise his own; "You don't remember me, Kitty?"

She perked up after he said Kitty. "Only one person ever called me Kitty, and he's dead," she screamed. She then thought for a moment. "Sai?" she asked, but the person, again, didn't answer.

She cocked her head to the side and up to look at the person's face. When she saw who it was, she let out a loud squeal in excitement and started to cry. He had a smile on his face and loosen his grip a little, to allowed her to turn around in his arms to face him, and wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a light squeeze.

"Sai!? I'm soo happy to see you," she said with a smile rubbing her head in his shirt and letting the tears that she couldn't hold in out. Then she stepped back slightly. "Don't you ever do that again. You nearly scared me half to death," she added shaking her finger at him and trying to sound mad, but failed miserably. She couldn't be mad at him.

He had aquamarine eyes, short dirty blond hair that spiked up slightly out in front, and he was a head taller that she was. His tail and ears were a golden yellow color. He was wearing somewhat baggy jeans and a blue shirt on.

"I wouldn't let you die," he said chuckling. He pulled her back to him.

"I know. So, why are you here? How did you come back? I saw you die," she cried letting him draw her closer. He kissed her on the forehead before answering. She then jumped into his arms like a little kid would when he/she runs to his/hers parents. He caught her with ease and gently stroking her hair as she went back to crying into his shoulder.

"I came, because I haven't seen you since that day, and I wanted to see my little kitty. So, Botan and Koenma helped bring me back, because you seemed depressed."

"I was. How do you think that I would feel after I saw the one I loved die? I didn't think that you were able to come back. So, I wanted to join you, but I met some really good friends, and I guess I got on," she cried.

"Awe, don't cry Kitten," he cooed moving his shoulder forward to make her look at him. When she did he tucked the stray hair behind her ear before wiping her tears off of her checks and then kissed the tip of her nose and forehead, making her chuckle a little. "That's better. That's the way I remember you," he joked.

"Wait, Sai, get up here," she said jumping down and pulling him up into the tree. "You came here with your ears and tail?" She looked around making sure nobody saw him. "You know that can't be seen."

"Calm down, Kitty. I made sure I placed a spell on my ears," he said. The spell that he used was just for ningens.

Kat doesn't have enough power to chant the spell and make it last long enough till school ends. And she didn't want to ask for help either, because if her parents found out that she couldn't handle being in public and not letting her tail move, then she wouldn't be allowed to go to the human world without them.

He sat at where the branch split off, while she sat in between his legs and placed the back of her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. Both of their tails had woven together dangling over the side.

"Oh, okay," she said then realized what he said. "What about your tail?" She looked down at it and noticed he had something on it. "What's that?"

"Well, let me tell you about that. It is a special ring that makes it look like your tail is around your waist, even if you accidentally unwrap it. So, as long as it is on, people will never know," he said. "Only people with spirit awareness and demons can see your tail move," he added.

The ring was sliver and looked like the Reigekiringu (is that right?) that Botan gave Yusuke.

"Then way didn't you just put a spell on your tail too?" she asked.

"Well if I did that then my little kitty would be the only one with a fluffy belt," he chuckled.

"I wish I had one. I almost got caught a couple of times," she sighted.

Sai reached inside of his pocket and pulled out an identical ring.

"Here. Let me put it on your tail," he said showing her the ring.

She was shocked. She couldn't belief what she heard. Did he just say that he would place it on my tail? she asked herself. That was unheard of. It was just immoral to ask to place something or touch someone's/ cat's tail with hands. It was okay if tails touch, but that was it, and if they were married. (Okay, I made up the touching part you'll see why after you read this.) But he was, on the other hand, her fiancé.

They have been engaged since they were born. They both didn't like the idea, but after they met for the first time, they fell in love and was together ever since. She was just caught of guard that he would ask her that until they were married.

"Okay," she said letting him pull their tails up.

He gently placed the silver ring around the tip of her tail. It was a bit wider that her tail, but it suddenly glowed and shrunk to fit snugly, but not too snug to hurt, on her tail. She gracefully let her tail drop. It was heavier that she thought. She tried to wave it back and forth to try and get use to it. Sai sat there chuckling at her and petting Kage who sat on his shoulder, purring. He knew about because any cat demon that wasn't a full blood would receive a cat that would be their protector. And she was surly of age to receive one. He had one too, named Sage who was on Kat's shoulder purring too. (If you didn't figure out he's half.) She knew about Sage because he got him before he died, and she used to love to play with him. Most of the time, they're named after the person that is your soul mate's last name and have the same coloring too. (Yeah, so that means that Kage really looks like Sai and that would make Sage the same coloring as Katsumi. I intended not to have Sai have a protector but that changed. Sorry about the confusion.) Normally, they would the opposite sex of their protectie, but once in a great while one of the protecties would have the same sex protector, and in Kat's case, that's what happened.

"What are you laughing at, huh?" she asked as she swung to face him with her legs placed underneath her swiftly and with ease, while not disturbing Sage. (She's a cat so don't forget that they have good balance.)

"I'm laughing at you. Don't worry, you'll get use to the weight," he said.

"Thank you, by the way," she replied giving him a hug.

They both sat up in the tree eating lunch together. Katsumi told Sai everything that she had did he died.

"Kitty, I have to get going. I have to get registered," he said jumping out of the tree after giving Kat a hug and kiss goodbye, and Kage.

"Wait," she said following him. She left Kage and Sage behind. "Registered? Where?" she asked. "Why are you leaving Kage?"

"You'll see," he replied disappearing. Kat was about to follow, but the bell was going to ring in a couple of seconds, and Keiko called her.

"Hey, Kat. Who were you talking too?"

"Oh, Keiko!" she cheerfully said the best that she could. "I wasn't talking to anybody." I wonder what he was talking about. ~Sage, could you keep an eye out for Kage? Make sure she doesn't go to far,~ she told Sai's kitty looking briefly up to see Sage nod in agreement. ~Thanks.~

"Kat?! Kat?! Hello, earth to Kat," Keiko said waving her hand in front of the zoned out teen.

"Huh, oh, sorry, Keiko. I was just thinking about something. Shall we get going to class?" she asked trying to change the subject fast not wanting to talk about what she was thinking.

"Okay, but I think that we have a few more minutes before lunch ends," Keiko said taking the hint.

"No, I think that we have a few seconds left," she announced holding her finger up behind her.

"Are you su…" Keiko started to say when she was interrupted by the bell.

"Yeap," Kat answered with a smile. "Let's get going," she added walking toward the school.

Keiko was left looking confused.

"How I did you? Oh, forget it," Keiko confusedly said looking around for Kat. "Hey, wait up for me," she yelled running after her friend that was all ready at the school.

Katsumi turned around when she heard Keiko running after her.

"I was wondering when you coming," joked Kat.

"Yeah, yeah."

The girls walked to their class and sat down. They didn't notice the person standing in the front of the room staring at them.

The bell rang for the class to start. The lackeys trickled their way in and sat down.

"Class, we have a new student. So, please welcome him," the teacher said motioning to the newbee (Had to use it.). "Can you please introduce yourself?" she asked.

"My name is…"

When Kat finally looked up, she gasped, not listening to what was said.
