Back with the Sequel to The Assassin and the Theif. You should read that story first, or this one may not make sense. Catarina is off sulking about her death but eh, it happens. Right I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho but I do own Catalina!

Catalina stared at her bandaged hands. Twos days had passed since her mother's death, and she just couldn't make the fan blades fly without cutting up her hands. How did her mother do it? Why did her mother never train her? She sighed, and shifted on the ground where she sat. The woods couldn't be her home for much longer. The red fox beside her looked up at her. He had the prettiest brown eyes ever.

"We are both orphans, Sly," she told the fox as she petted him. His parents had been killed by a bigger animal. "Well I will be once I kill my father."

She had sworn by her blood to kill him for his mother's death. It was his fault, he wasn't there to protect them, yet he could sure show up and hold her as she took her last breath. She laid down and drifted off to sleep wondering where her mother's soul was.

Catarina's soul was defiantly restless. She had been pushed all over the underworld. Apparently no one knew where she was suppose to go. She pushed past some ogres, and marched into Koenma's office. She walked straight up to his desk and placed her hands on the desk as she glared down at him.

"King Enma Jr," she hissed. "I've been tossed all over the place around here! I have freely come to you to have judgment passed. Now can we get to the punishment already?"

"Well," Koenma gulped. "The problem with that is, you weren't suppose to die."

"WHAT!" she roared. "I got shot with a fucking arrow, was poisoned, what more of a death wish did you want?"

"See the poison was suppose to make you weak, and pass out," Koenma hesitated before telling her the next problem. "See Catalina was suppose to be the one to die."

"WHAT!" she steamed. "And you knew this all along!"

"No, not until you got bit by the snake did she register as our next to die," he hesitated again. "And you can't take her place, because a place in heaven was prepared. We took this all into account and there really is only one thing we can do."

"And that is?" asked a now bored Catarina.

"Put you back in your body," replied Koenma.

"Say what?" she gaped. "I thought there was suppose to be punishment!"

"Oh there is," he replied happily. "You have to join my spirit detective on missions. There will be no more killing, if you are in a situation that requires such let someone else of the group kill them. Also for every innocent you save, starting with your daughters life, I will take ten years off you," he grabbed a piece of paper. "Let's see 432 innocent killed times by 5 equals 2160 years sentence of pain and punishment. So when you die you will be tortured for only 2150 years right now."

"Do I question why I am getting off so easily," she said mainly to herself. "NAH! Okay Koenma, send me back."

"Excellent!" Koenma smiled. "Botan will send you back up in a moment. Now just wait right outside."

"Sure whatever," she said as she walked out. What luck! She got to go back and work off her sentence. She had a feeling there was something else he wasn't telling her, but oh well. All she had to do was wait for Botan, then she can see her daughter again.

"You didn't tell her did you," stated Botan, she knew Koenma wouldn't tell Catarina about her living aragments.

"She'll know once you tell her," Koenma smiled. "Besides, you are the one who saw such potential in her, and pleaded for her life to be spared. Have fun Botan."

"I just hope she isn't the type to shoot the messenger," sighed Botan. She walked out to where Catarina was smiling and thinking as she sat on the floor. She saw Botan and went over to her. "All ready?"

"Yep," she giggled. She got on Botan's oar with her, and they took off. "They didn't bury me yet, did they?"

"Nope," Botan replied. "They are still arguing where to bury you. I told Yusuke and Kuwabara to keep an argument going as to where you should be buried or they might find themselves in their own graves early."

"Nice," Catarina giggled. She was worried she would have to claw he way out of a grave. Ick she hated dirk underneath her claws. Soon she would be alive again!

Catarina: I get to be alive again! WEEEEEE!

You got lucky, remember I can always kill you later. Anyway Review, flame, say HI! Till next time!
