Intro:
A summer afternoon in the feudal era. A small girl and her twin brother are playing outside their small home on the outskirts of the village. "You can't catch me, Kori" The small girl runs around a barel and ducks behind it. "You wanna bet! Just wait and see!" Kori turned and faced the tree to count. Meanwhile the little girl sneaked out from behind the barrel and into the house to hide. She crawled under the bed and soon after her father and mother came in. "Why are they doing this to us. We have never done anything to them!"Her mother spoke softly to her father thinking none of the kids were inside. "I know, but I still think we should send the kids away especially the twins. They are still so young" Her father wrapped his arms around her mother. The little girl didn't understand what they were saying but she did get the fact that they wanted to send her and her brother away!
Chapter 5 "Finding a Home for Katrina"
Voices. Where are these voices coming from? Who are they? I woke up still shaken from my dream. I didn't recognize any of those people. But wait I could still here voices. They were coming from the next room. I recognize them. That's Kurama talking to the gang. I got up from the bed and walked to the door. I pressed my ear to it to see what they were talking about. I heard my name. Me? They're talking about me. Why?
A few minutes earlier in the living quarters of the boys' hotel room "Well does anyone have suggestions on where Katrina goes when we return home" Kurama asked the group before him. Koenma answered first, "I cant I live in the spirit world and so does Yukina" Next was Kuwabara's sister. "Our house is full enough with me and Kuwabara." "I could never ask my mother to have to care for another person after all she has been though already." Kurama sighed then looked over at Heie. " How bout you Hiei?" Hiei didnt even let a breath past before answering "Don't even think about it, Kurama" Kurama sighed yet again " I thought that much." Just at that moment Katrina walked over to the door to listen in. "Katrina has no place to go and none of us here has room. So were just going to leave her here?" Kurama stared at the group waiting for some to think of something, anything. When Katrina heard that she backed away from the door. Just like in my dream. Voices and they want get rid of me. I knew it was too good to last. Everything I know is darkness and when I finally have a life they don't want me. I better just leave now. I set to work on how I would leave that night.
Meanwhile Yusuka had come back from a walk and he sat down to join the gang. Everyone was saying how they need a place for Katrina "She can stay with me" Everyone stared at Yusuka "Are you serious" Kurama gave Yusuke a startled look. "Yeah its just me and mom. we even have an extra room, so why not? I just gotta call the old lady and give her a heads up" Kurama couldnt hide the grin if he tried. It was too perfect! "Actually if I clear things with Koenma you wont have to" Yusuke gave Kurama a sideways glance. "What do you mean" Kurama then looked at Koenma half asking, half explaining. "Well Koenma has the authority to have a memory implant put in you moms head. So you can just show up with Katrina and she'll think it's your cousin who's come to live with you" (the whole gang sweat drops) "you can do that!" Yusuke points at the now baby form of Koenma. "I'm impressed" "Why ofcourse I can. Who exactly do you think I am? A second rate magician?" Koenma ginned "If Katrina agrees to it I dont see why it cant be arranged." Yusuke glanced from him to Kurama who then asked, "I say we do it, alright?" "Right!" (Gang says in unison except Hiei)
Hiei had lost interest in the conversation long ago. He walked out onto the balcony and leaned against the wall. Slowly the door leading to Kurama's room opened and Katrina walked out. Hiei moved further to the right so the shadows concealed him. I had a bag of a few supplies on my back. I looked over the railing. It was farther down then I thought. I went back in and got the sheets from the closet and tied them together. I threw it over the railing. It hung not quite a story from the ground. I glanced back at the room then climbed over the railing and began to shimmy down. This is for the best Kat remember. You don't want to be where your not wanted. I got to the bottom and dropped. Ow! That hurt more than I thought it would. I got up and looked around good no one saw me. Now which way to go? I decide to find a place to rest till morning then I could find a way to get off the island. I headed towards the beach figuring no demons would be there to bother me.
Hiei came out of the shadows as soon as Kat was over the railing and on her way down. "Where is that stupid girl going now?" He didn't like this at all. She was up to something and he wanted to know what. He went inside and walked to the front door. "Where are you going so late Hiei" Yusuke was leaning on the back of the couch "None of your business" Yusuka just ignored the rude comment. "Oh come on Hiei tell us, you got a date of something?" Yusuke nudged Kuwabara and the two started to tease. "Yeah right, Hiei with a date I doubt it. What girl would want him!" Kuwabara added between snikers and laughs. "Cram it or ill slice you to pieces you idiot!" Hiei left the room while the others just stared at the door. "Rude isn't he" Yukina commented before the room burt into laughs. "Oh well lets play some cards." Botan held out a deck in her right hand.
Hiei came down stairs and saw Katrina heading towards the beach and he began to follow her. "I'll see what your up to girl."
