Sorry about the long wait. I was tired and busy. I MADE A SMALL ADDITION NEAR THE END
(Authoress Note: Were you able to guess who the newbee is? Also, were you confused about the protectors'? And one more question, what is the approximately does anybody know the demon/human age ratio? When I say fluffy belt or tail, I don't mean a fluffy tail, I mean a cat tail fluff. Okay, on with the chapie.)
Chapter 4: The newbee
All of the girls, in the class, started to whisper to each other.
"Wow, Kat, he's cute," Keiko leaned over and whispered in her ear. Katsumi smiled at her friend's and the other girls whispering.
She heard some of the chatter. 'He's really cute,' one would say, 'I wonder if he has a girl friend.' 'Are you kidding me? With that look, he's probably has a line of girls,' a friend replied. The one that she liked was when one of the girls whispered, 'He look's just as cute as that Shuichi Minamino kid at that other school.'
Which was true, he was that cute. (Don't worry all you Kurama fan's nobody can be as cute as Kurama. I know, but for the propose of this fic he has to come close to Kurama.)
"Hey, Kat. He's cute. I wonder where he came from," Keiko whispered.
"Yeah, he is," she replied back over to the drooling teen.
"Okay, class, quiet down. Mr. Kage would you mind telling something about yourself?" the teacher asked.
"Well, I'm not from around here. That's all," he said.
"Okay, why don't you take the empty seat next to Miss. Sage. Katsumi can you raise your hand?" the teacher instructed motioning over to the empty seat.
"Thank you," he said walking over to Kat. He gave her a wink before he sat down. "I told you, you'll see, Kitty," he whispered.
~So, that's why you left Sage and this is were you are registering at,~ she snickered.
"Kat, do you know him?" asked Keiko leaning over to talk to her friend then looked over to the new kid. "He has a fur belt too. Is he a demon?"
"Yeah, and yeah," she moaned. "After school, meet me at the park," she said to Keiko.
~Did you hear? I want you to meet my new friends,~ she said over to Sai.
~Sure thing, Kitty,~ he replied.
"Teach, I have to go to the nurse. I really don't feel good," Kat said holding her stomach as she left and not letting the teacher to reply. She noticed that Keiko and Sai were both starting to get up.
~Don't worry, I'm fine. Please, just sit back down. I'll be back soon,~ she said to the two with cheerful and in a reassuring voice.
Kat walked out side to the tree and jumped up to the branch that Sage and Kage were snuggled up together, sleeping. She then pulled out the communicator that Yusuke gave her and began to push some of the buttons. When she pushed the last one, Botan's face appeared in the mirror.
"Botan, here," she said.
"Hey, Botan. It's Kat," Kat replied.
"Hi, Kat. What's wrong?" Botan said worried.
"Nothing's wrong. I was just wondering if you could come here now. I just want to say something to you," she answered.
"Okay, where are you?" Kat started to chuckle. "What?" Botan asked confused.
"Botan, how long have we known each other; that you don't know where I am? Every time I disappear you always mange to find me. Which by the way, I would like to know how," she stated. "Botan?" she noticed that her screen went back to it's mirror form. "Botan, where are you?"
"Right here. So, what is it that you would like to talk to me about?" Botan said hovering next to Kat. She had a worried look.
"Botan, I'm fine. I just wanted to say thank you," Kat said leaning over and giving Botan a hug causing Botan to fall slightly in confusion and shock.
"Whoa, why are you thanking me?"
Katsumi sat back on the branch.
"Because I love you, and you are the best friend that anybody could ever have," she said with a gleam. (No, this isn't a girl/girl fic. She means I love you as in a very good friend. I mean don't you say that to your friends?)
"Thank you, but what did I do?" Botan asked even more confused then before.
"You brought the only one I truly love back," she beamed.
"Why you're welcome. I couldn't, okay, we couldn't stand seeing you depressed like that. So, Koenma made an exception to the rules," Botan explained. "Shouldn't you get back to school?"
"Yes, but I told my teacher that I didn't feel good, and I had to go to the nurse. I have about…" She looked up at the sun and then the shadow of the tree. "I guess, 15 minutes left before this period ends." (She doesn't have a watch. She doesn't like having something so bulky on. Yes, she still has the bracelet, but she placed it on her ankle.) "So, you never answered my question from before."
"You didn't ask me a question," Botan said nervously.
"Oh, don't give me that. You know very well what I asked about knowing where I am," Kat sneered crossing her arms and gave her a semi- look that said 'if you don't tell me then something bad is going to happen' as her tail slightly twitched.
"That question well. I can't tell you," Botan said bluntly.
"Botan, I love you and all, but you can't not tell me anything. You can't keep any secrets that I don't know about," Kat said with a smirk.
She began to close her eyes, till twitching. Botan knew exactly what she was about to do.
"Okay, I'll tell you," she stated waving her hands trying to stop Kat from making her tell.
Kat had stopped and sat patently waiting for Botan to continue. Works every time, she thought to herself with a soft chuckle.
Botan sighed. "You know that I am going to get killed for tell you this. But like you care. So, you know that ring that Sai gave you?"
Kat looked down to her ring on her left hand. It was a small diamond chipped into a teardrop, set in a gold band with small diamond chips. She liked it, but she wished that she had gotten just a simple engagement ring, like a fake diamond or a plain band, but she knew that Sai would never buy something like that. He loved her too much to buy something that 'cheap looking'. Also, with a fake one, he didn't want her to think that since it looks real but is fake that that is how their love is.
"Yeah, how can I forget? I wear it every day," Kat answered sarcastically.
"Well, your mother had snuck a small transmitter that shows her were you are at all times. Cool, huh?" chuckled Botan. Man, Leila is going to kill me, Botan sacredly told herself.
"Oh, okay. I just wanted to know. I'm happy that my mom always knows where I am. That way when I'm in trouble she can help. Wait, that's a bad thing. Now, she knows when I go to school and when I don't. Great, now I have to go to school everyday," whined Kat.
"Don't worry, Kat. You mom doesn't care when you go or how often you go to school. She just wants you to have fun," said Botan.
"Yeah, you're right. Well, thanks for everything Botan, but I have to get back in school before Sai or Keiko gets worried," Kat said hugging Botan goodbye. Then she petted Kage and Sage quickly before jumping out of the tree lightly. Botan flew off thinking of how she was going to explain to Leila why she told her daughter about the ring.
Before she walked back in school, she called Shizuru, Yukina, Hiei, and Kurama to met her at the park after school.
"Katsumi, where have you been?" a voice questioned coming up behind her in the hallway.
"Hi, Keiko. I was just outside talking to Botan," she replied not turning around but opened her locker instead.
"What did you two talk about?"
"I'll tell you after school," Kat said shutting her locker and turning around. "So, Keiko, do you know where Sai is?"
"I think that he's over there," replied Keiko pointing over to a crowed of girls screaming.
There was a crowed of almost thirty some odd girls crowded around something. With closer look, Kat was able to see two tiny ears poking up from the crowd.
~Looks like you made some new friends, Hun,~ she teased to him.
~Yeah, Kitty, do you think that you could help here?~ he questioned.
~What would you like me to do?~
~Any thing. Just help with a fourth of them. I can get the rest,~ he pleaded.
~Fine, but I think that I can take care of all of them,~ she stated. She walked over to the group and on the top of her lung she screamed, "GIRLS, IS THAT SHUICHI, I SEE WALKING ALL ALONE AROUND THAT CORNER?"
She quickly turned one of the boys into Kurama. The girls turned their heads and ran toward 'Shuichi'. As 'Shuichi' turned the corner Kat turned him back to the boy that he was.
"Thanks, Kitten. I really needed that," he said getting up off of the floor dusting off. He walked over to Katsumi and gave her a thank you kiss.
Keiko cleared her throat. Kat looked around and noticed Keiko lightly tapping her foot.
"Oh, Sorry. Keiko this is Sai. Sai this is Keiko," Katsumi said pointing to them as she said their names.
"Hi," Sai said bowing slightly.
"Hi," Keiko said too bowing back. She looked at him and started to laugh.
"What's so funny, Keiko?" asked another voice scaring the laughing girl half to death.
"Hey, Yusuke, Kuwabaka," said Katsumi watching Keiko smack Yusuke on the head for scaring her.
"Hi, Kat, Keiko," Kuwabara said not realizing what she called him, which he did a lot. What was funny is that Sai's shirt and pants were torn, and he looked tired from running from the girls.)
"Oh, Kat, who's this?" Yusuke asked looking over to Sai. "Girls, get away from him he's a demon," told Yusuke pushing the girls behind him.
"Yusuke, calm down. He's not going to hurt us," Kat told him stepping back in front of him. "I know him. This is Sai, my fiancé. Sai, the black hair punk is Yususke and the ugly looking thing is Kazuma, but we all call him Kuwabara or Kuwabaka," she added holding Sai's hand.
The three friends' mouths dropped.
"Y-your fiancé?" stuttered Yusuke.
"Yap, after school I'm going to explain everything to you and everyone else, okay?" she questioned.
"Okay," answered Yusuke. Kuwabara was still dumbfounded to say anything.
"Well, I think that we should be heading to our next class," Keiko said walking away.
"Hey, Sai, what class do you have next?" asked Yusuke.
"I think that I have science," he replied.
"Cool, all four of us do too," asked Kuwabara.
"Nice, then you can show me how to get there," Sai said.
"Sure," Yusuke said.
The five walked together to class. Kat and Sai were holding hands, and their tails were hanging between them entwined. To anybody looking without spirit awareness would see that their belts were locked together. Yusuke and Keiko were walking in front. While Kuwabara was in the back of the group.
The rest of the day was interesting; Sai was trying to stay away from rabid fan girls. Katsumi had to help him hid. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko helped out, too. Katsumi also got some threats, saying that she should stay away from Sai and such. Which surprised her for two reasons, first they just met him, and secondly she told them that he was hers. That just made them even more angry.
Man, they acted just like Kurama's fan girls, Kat thought to herself. She sat on Sai's lap against a tree at the park. Yusuke, Kuwabara and Keiko sat down too. Sage and Kage were sitting on Kat's and Sai's shoulders like before. She sensed someone jumping into the tree.
"Hi, Hiei. I thought that I would be here. What kept ya?" she asked causing Hiei to jump down.
"Hn. I ran into some traffic," he sneered. (Yes, Hiei made a joke.)
"Hey, Hiei," Yusuke said.
"Hiei, where's Kurama?" Kat asked.
"Like I know."
"Don't worry, I'm right here," said a calm voice. A few minutes later Shizuru and Yukina walked up.
"Good, then I can started," said Katsumi getting up. "Okay, I never told you guys about my life before I met you all. I couldn't bring myself to the truth." She closed her eyes taking a deep breath and holding in the liquid that wanted fall from her eyes. "You see before the party, I witnessed something that I never wanted to see. I saw…" She couldn't hold them in any longer, they started to fall against her will.
"It's okay. I'll finish," Sai whispered placing his hand on her shoulders. "What she saw was my death. After that, she was never the same. She locked herself in her room, never talked to anybody, or ate. When I couldn't bear watching her like that. I asked Botan and Koenma if there was away that I could come back to life. They said that there was a way. So, I took it. Now, I'm here," he explained.
"Wow, Kat, I didn't know," said Keiko placing her hand on her other shoulder.
"That's okay. I didn't tell anybody," she said.
"Wait, Kat. You also said that he was your fiancé," Yusuke said.
"Yes, that's true. We are," she said. She continued to explain about when how they were forced to get engage and everything else. She also introduced Sage.
"You know what we have to do now?" asked Keiko cheerfully.
"Do I want to know?" questioned Kat back worried.
"We have to plain your wedding," she said happily.
"We can all help," said Yukina.
"Yeah, Yukina can do the ice sculpture. Kurama could be in charged with the flowers. Keiko, Botan and I could help with the dresses and tuxedos. Yusuke can be in charged with the church and guests. Hiei and Kuwabara can arrange for the entertainment and food," said Shizuru.
"No, I appreciate all of this, but Sai and I just want a small wedding with a few people," Katsumi said kindly taking Sai's hand. "Plus, we haven't planned on when we are going to get married. We aren't even old enough," she chuckled.
The group stayed at talked about the wedding and Kat's past. They were there for a couple of hours before Kurama said that he had to get going home before his mom got worried. Hiei left next, then the girls, but Kat, next was Kuwabara.
"What do you want, Hiei?" Kat asked looking up in the tree. (Okay, so they thought that he left)
"Tomorrow at sunrise meet me here. We're training," he told her before leaving.
"Fine," she sneered back.
"So, Kitty, what was all that about?" asked Sai pulling Kat back onto his lap.
"Hiei's present to me was this sword," she lift up her shirt slightly to show him the sword.
It was wrapped around her waist. It had a silver carefully carved hilt with a gem on each side. Think of the one that 'broom head' had in Kenshin. (Sorry, blanked out on his name. That dude stole the baby and made Kenshin fight him. He had a lot of swords and had blond spiky hair.)
"He also said that he would train me," she added.
"Why? He doesn't seem like the person to do that."
"Well, he could never beat me when I use my powers. So, he gave me this so that I could fight him fairly."
"Nice, Kitty. I'm glad that you made a few friends since I was gone," he said resting his chin on her head.
"What, you don't think that I can make friends?" she questioned.
"No, I know that you can. Just because of the accident and all," he replied.
The two lovebirds sat in the tree watching the sun set. Kage and Sage snuggled together like Kat and Sai were. Their tails woven together like earlier. They sat like that all night, and Kat had fallen asleep.
"Goodnight, my little kitten, sweet dreams," Sai said kissing her forehead before leaning his head back and closing his eyes too.
(Whatcha think? I know it's corny but it's important to the rest. Also, the next chapter is going to be about Kat's past. So, for every forth chapter, or so, is going to be about her past. I got this idea from Orange of Doom. I liked the idea and thought that it was a perfect way to explain about her past.)
