Sorry for the very long wait. I didn't have an idea, well I did I know what I wanted to happen but I didn't know how to get there. I also had a kind of a writer's block and plus I am a procrastinator actually I would be a procrastinator but I never find the time. Hahaha my dad said that once and it fits me. Plus, I was groundeded but hopefully I'm not, because I am typing this. There is an important note at the bottom.

You all probably know what is going to happen in this chapter but oh well, you don't know how it happened and this will give you an explanation on what happened some what more in depth. Well, this is it, nearing the end.

The Past 3: Depression

A month or so later, Sai and Kat were sitting under the cherry tree again. They were just carelessly watching the world around them. It was early after noon, and the two where resting from training.

Kat had the hoodie on again and twirling her ring around her finger. Her mother gave it to Sai to give to her the day after he proposed. She was leaning against Sai's side, resting her head on his shoulder. On her shoulder, was a sleeping little kitten.

"Sai-chan?" she softly asked.

"Yes, Kitten," he replied looking at her.

"What are we going to do today? Are you going to train me some more?" she asked hoping that it wouldn't be the case.

"I don't know. You could work on your sword techniques. From what I saw this morning you need it," he joked.

"No, please, no more training for today," she pleaded giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Okay, okay, we can always watch the brats."

"No, no, that's okay. Your 5 younger brothers and sisters are a pain in the butt. Adding you in the mix makes for 6 brats," Kat told Sai thinking about the last time that they watched the brats.

"Me? A brat? I think that you have it backwards," he replied jokingly.

"Yeah, yeah, so what are we going to do?" she asked changing the subject back to the original one not wanting to fight about the brats.

"How about we go for a walk?" he suggested.

"Sure," she replied jumping up scaring Sage slightly but she never jumped down. "Where do you want to go?"

"Where ever our legs take us," he answered getting up.

"Okay," she childishly said taking his arm.

The two walked slowly hand in hand and tail in tail, to where ever their feet took them. They walked for a few hours. The sky started to turn dark and the air became cold. Which would be normal if it was dark (Yeah, I know Duh,) but it wasn't suppose to get dark for a couple of more hours. The two figured that it was going to rain, so they decided to turn around and walk back. Halfway back, Sai heard something rustling behind him. Shrugging it off as an animal or Sage, and continued walking. He stopped again as he thought that he sensed something. He knew that it couldn't be the wind. It wasn't blowing.

"What's wrong, Sai-chan?" Kat asked seeing him slowdown.

"Oh, nothing Kitten, I thought that I heard something," Sai answered turning around and giving her a fake okay smile.

"I didn't hear anything. I think that you are hearing things," Kat replied.

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny," he sneered at her in a playful way.

"Well, well, well, look at what I found sister. It's Katsumi and Sai, the two lovebirds or should I say the two dead birds. This will be fun," a voice snickered from behind.

"Yes indeed sister it will," any other voice snickered in front.

"Who are you two?" Kat asked frightened.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" the voice behind questioned.

"Actually, yes I would," Kat smirked back. (You've got to have some sarcasm in fights.)

"Fine then. My name is Lela and in front of you is my twin, Lila," Lela stated stepping out from the shadows. (You all know what they look like and they are wearing the same thing as before so I don't feel like typing it all. Sorry.)

"Wh-what do you want?" Kat asked.

"Oh, nothing really, just that you die," Lila smirked with a smile walking over to her sister.

Both of their energy had flicker a huge amount of energy before subsiding into nothing or so little that it was hard to pinpoint it. Sai quickly but gently pushed Kat behind him and unsheathed his sword. Sage was hissing in front of Sai. Her fur was standing up on end.

"You're not going to lay a finger on her," Sai threatened between his teeth.

"My, my, aren't we protective," Lela coolly said. She reached down to her belt and pulled out her sais. "I would just forget about her if I were you, but I am not so that is why you are going to die, and I am not."

Kat closed her eyes wondering if she could trick the two into leaving. When she open her eyes, nothing was happening.

"No, no, my dear Kat, your little powers aren't going to work on us," Lela answered the confused look on Kat's face.

She raised her sais ready for an attack as her lips curled into a devilish smile, that became plastered on them.

"Lela, sister, I take it you're going to take on him, and I'll take on her?" Lila asked pointing to Kat, who was still behind Sai.

Sai turned to look at Kat to make sure that she was still there.

"Sure, sis. You can have Kat unless you want to help me get rid of him first then we both can take her on at once," Lela responded giving Lila a sisterly threatening look.

"Sure, I'll be glad to help," Lila answered unsheathing her own sword.

"Are you ready?" Lela questioned watching Sai turn back around.

"For what? If you mean to beat you two, then yes. Let's go," Sai sarcastically replied raising his sword for an attack. (Hehehe, can't you tell that I don't like sarcasm?)

Lela let out a low growl and went to attack him. Sai pushed Kat off to the side, blocked Lela's attack, and then dodged Lila's sword.

~Kitten, I want you to go somewhere safe. Get out of here,~ Sai's voice told her in her head.

~No, I am not leaving. I can help,~ Kat pleaded back. ~You know that I can take care of myself. You taught me,~ she stated determined then ever to stay.

~No, you are going to find a place to hide,~ Sai angrily told her.

"Stop, I am not going to leave and that it," she persistently told him.

Kat watched as her fiancé protecting her. She was worried yet she was also confused. She couldn't figure out what was happening. She didn't know these two, so why were they coming after her? She wanted to stay and help but she didn't have anything to fight with.

She looked around for something that she could use as a weapon. She spotted a nice, thick stick that she could use.

"That will work nicely," she softly whispered inspecting the sick closer. "Nice." She shifted her attention from the stick to the fight that her fiancé was barely holding on. "Sai-chan, Nooo," she cried running over to the fight.

She knocked Lila's sword out of the way with her make shift one. She flung Lila back against a tree. The force of the blow caused Lila to go through the tree and smack against another one. She then snapped her head towards Lela. Her ears rose to the top of her head into cat ones. Her fangs and claws grew longer and shaper. Her eyes swirled with red before settling into a darker, colder blue.

"Kat, don't," Sai quietly told her taking her arm to stop her.

"No, they are after me not you," she replied brushing him off and advancing towards Lela with her 'sword' ready. "Don't make me use my powers on you," she threatened to Sai.

"My, my, it looks like the two love birds are having a few problems," Lela stated watching the two fight.

"Indeed. Let's go help them," Lila answered emerging from the woods with a cut lip. She was picking out leaves from her hair and dusting off the debris from her clothes.

"Are you okay?" Lela questioned seeing Lila walk up next to her in the corner of her eye.

"Yeah, just a busted lip," she replied whipping the blood off of her chin. "It seems that the little kitten has more spunk than I thought. Look, what is she going to do with that pathetic stick?"

She watched as Kat turn around advancing to her sister with the pathetic stick ready to attack.

"Well, this little kitten and this pathetic stick is going to kill you," Kat threatened.

"Really?" Lela questioned in an 'is that right' tone.

"Yes," Kat plainly replied.

"When if you're going to kill us then how do you plan on fighting us with your stick?" Lela questioned quite amused at Kat's threats.

"Shouldn't you deal with your fiancé first?" Lila asked in a cooing voice.

"Why?" Kat replied confused.

~Go, you know that you want to kill him,~ Lela's voice cooed in Kat's head.

"No, I'm not going to."

~Yes, he doesn't think that you are strong enough to stay,~ Lila told her.

"That's not true," Kat shouted falling to her knees and holding her head.

~Yes it is. And you know that's true,~ Lela answered persuading her.

"Yes," Kat answered raising with her head bowed. "He think that I am weak. I should teach him a lesson."

~Go, go, go and teach him,~ Lila softly told her.

Kat walked over to the side of Sai and picked up his sword. She raised it into an attack position at Sai.

"Kitten, what are you doing?" he asked watching her advance to him.

"I'm teaching you a lesson, that I am strong and not weak," she replied in an angry tone.

"I never said that you were weak. I just didn't want you to get hurt," Sai replied pleading.

Kat gave Sai a small wink. He looked at her even more confused. Sage gave a confused meow. She looked down at the kitten growling back at her meow, before raising her eyes back to Sai.

~Just play along,~ she told him through a secure link.

He gave her the slightest nod before backing away slowly.

"Sure. That's what you want me to believe," she scolded advancing to him.

"That is not true and you know that," he answered taking another step back.

"I know. I was talking about them," she replied spinning on her heels to face the twins.

"What are you talking about? Kill him," Lela asked.

"Oh, no, you're not going to make me kill him," Kat answered raising Sai sword.

"Fine, then. It seems that our powers can't be used on you directly. Oh, well, let's see what you can do," Lela said twirling her sais before pointing them to Kat.

"Bring it on," Kat stated waiting for her move. "I believe that it's your move. Am I right?" she asked.

"Yes, I think that you are right," Lela replied charging.

Kat easily dodged her attack and went for one of her own. She slashed at Lela with the sword and just grazed the shoulder of Lela. Lila not wanting to be left out of the fight decided to join in. She raised her sword watching for the perfect time to strike.

There, she told herself as she watched Kat fumble slightly after Lela tried to trip her. Lila lunged at Kat's unaware attention. As Lila brought her sword up to slice Kat at the side, her lips curled into a satisfying smile.

No one was paying attention to the watchful gaze of Sai. In the corner of his eye he saw Lila charging at the unaware Kat. Wasting no time Sai ran over to Kat and met with his conscience.

Lila's sword pierced through Sai's willing body like it was melted butter. Kat turned around just in time to see the sword strike Sai.

"Sai-chan noooo," she cried catching him as he fell. "Sai-chan no, no, this can't be happening. Sai-chan, why did you do that?" she asked as tears weld up inside.

"Don't cry. Please, kitten. You are safe that's all that matters," he said whipping a tear from her eye. She grabbed his hand and squeezed tight.

"Don't die on me please. Don't. You are all that I have," Kat whispered angrily. "Don't."

Sai gave one last smile before closing his eyes and collapsed. Sage came out of her hiding and curled up on his chest. Kat closed her eyes.

"You," she said snapping her head up to face Lila. "You, you did this to him. Now, you are not going to go anywhere. You are now mine," she said raising.

She gathered all of her energy and charged blindly at the twins. The two snickered and knocked Kat out.

After an hour or so Kat began to wake up. She looked over to her left and Sai lying there with Sage on top, and started to cry. She walked over to his sword and brought the tip up to her chest.

"Kat, don't," a voice called above.

"Why not, Botan? I have nothing to live for any more. Why should I not end it?" she asked not looking up.

"Because… you do have more to live for. You have two loving parents and friends that care for you," Botan replied jumping from her oar and placed a caring hand on Kat's shoulder.

"Yeah, loving parents that are always on a stupid mission or something. Ha, friends? I don't have any friends left," Kat answered.

"Kat, that is not true. Your parents are always there for you. And what do you call me? An enemy?"

"Botan, just bring him back please," Kat pleaded dropping the sword and falling to her knees, crying.

"You know that I can't do that," Botan answered kneeling next to her friend and wrapped her arms around Kat more.

Kat turned slightly to Botan and cried into Botan's shirt. Botan began shhing her quietly.

The days following the incident Kat locked herself in her room not coming out just to go to the bathroom and that was it. Until one day she go a phone call from Botan on getting revenge on some boys that were pranking Botan and other girls. Giving up on Sai's return she helped out.
