Welcome to Chapter 4!

Catarina: What do I get to do to Youko now?

Read and find out! Oh still don't own Yu Yu, or do I? Nope.

Catarina felt funny saying she was home. She hadn't called a place home since Youko died, well sort of died. What did you call his death now? Shit, what was she to call her own death? No one knows how to stay dead anymore. Where was Youko anyway?

"Youko," Catarina called out. "Where are you?"

She cautiously stepped into the apartment. Some habits die hard, Catarina thought. She would always be looking for the slightest problem, no matter what. Being cautious had kept her alive as long as it had. That last battle taught her what happened when you threw caution to the side and rush in head first. Never again. Youko appeared in the doorway. He stared at the two of them.

"Welcome back," he said. He couldn't take his eyes away from them. His mate and child under the same roof as him. Oh wait, didn't Catalina swear to kill him? Catarina saw the worried look that crossed his face as he stared at them. Catalina hid behind her mother, Catty was worried he would remember her promise and make her go through with it.

"Catty," Catarina sighed, she figured what was going on by the silent actions of Youko and Catty. "You do not have to hold your oath. I'm alive so the blood oath is null and void. Also Youko, you have nothing to fear, Catty won't kill you in your sleep. Wait that's a good idea."

"Mother," Catty hissed. "No killing remember."

"Right right," Catarina said, remembering her promise of no killing. "This is going to be harder then I thought. Anyway it's time you too where properly introduced without someone dying."

"Stop joking about your death," Catty complained. She didn't want to relieve that day ever again, and her mom joking about it made it worse.

"Sorry Catty," she replied ruffling her daughter's hair. Youko had kept his place at the other side of the hallway. He longed to join the twos close family interactions, but he was still an outsider. "Right, introductions! Catalina this is Youko Kurama, your father who I thought was dead but was hiding in some human boy's body. And Youko, this is your daughter Catalina Kurama, a spoiled pain in my ass but I love her still."

Youko laughed at Catarina's introduction. She was always the one to say what she was feeling never hiding anything. She didn't care if you wanted to hear it or not she was going to tell you what she thought. It was something he loved deeply about her. Something else bothered him, better ask now while Catarina was in a good mood. One only knew how long that was going to last.

"Can I ask you something?" Youko said, still nervous to speak his question.

"Depends," replied Catarina. He wouldn't dare say anything about their relationship while Catty was there, or she'd kill him. "Be careful not to treed on unstable ground, or I will hurt you."

"Right, it's not about that," Youko replied, catching what she was trying to warn him against. "It's just that, well Catalina looks so human, how is it possible when she is only a quarter human?"

"Oh that," laughed Catarina. "I forgot she was still wearing the talisman I made for her."

"Talisman?" replied Youko. Catarina dragged her suddenly shy daughter in front of her. She pulled a pale blue rose from Catalina's hair, and Catalina started changing. Her hair had sliver streaks in the white, barley noticeable till she moved. Two fox ears stuck up, and a fluffy white tail with a black tip swished behind her. Youko could finally see some of himself in his daughter, it made his heart swell with pride. She had his ears and tail. "That rose."

"The one you gave me after we became mates," Catarina replied, holding the rose. "I still have some of my mother's sorceress powers, and I turned the rose into a concealment talisman, to help Catty fit in more naturally around humans."

"Amazing," Youko replied. He couldn't pry his eyes away from Catalina. She was a perfect blend of him and Catarina.

"Um," said Catalina shifting under Youko's gaze. She still held Sly in her arms, but Youko had yet to notice him. "I'm tired."

"Right," Catarina said coming to her daughter's aid. "Youko can you show us where Catalina will be sleeping, she need some rest."

"This way," Youko said as he lead them down the hallway where the three of the four bedrooms for the apartment where located. He had planned on tell Catarina her room was his but thought against it. He stopped at the three doors at the end of the hallway. "Pick whatever room you want," he sighed. "My room is at the other end of the apartment."

He turned and started walking back down the hallway. Catalina choose the closes door to her, and bid her mother goodnight. Catarina decided against better judgment and followed Youko. He was leaning against the wall in living room, when she found him. He was heading to his bedroom, but turned into the living room when he felt Catarina following him.

"Well?" Youko asked as she entered the room. He wasn't sure why she followed after him, but he was going to get some answers.

"I thought you should know," Catarina started. The words she rehearsed seemed lost. She knew what she wanted to tell him, ever since Botan said she would be staying here. But it was so much harder staring at him. "I haven't forgiving you. Don't expect me to just fall back into your arms."

"I don't," he replied. "Why do you think I didn't ask you to stay in my room."

"Good," she said crossing her arms. She felt slightly vulnerable. Youko had a strange look cross his face, but it quickly left. "What? Do I smell bad or something?"
"Well speaking of your smell," Youko decided to tell her about her going into heat. The smell was driving him nuts. "It seems you have begun to go into heat."

"What," she said dropping her jaw. That was the last thing she was expecting. Shit when was the last time she went into heat? She did the calculations in her head, yep it was true. It had been four months since she had gone into heat. She stared at Youko, remembering before they both died. He had locked them in his room and ravaged her for the whole week she was in heat. "Oh damn."

"My thoughts exactly," Youko said as he tried to keep himself against the wall. The smell was attracting him like a bee to honey. "I suggest you go to bed before I take you here on the floor."

"Excuse me," Catarina's jaw hit the floor. "Even if I didn't leave, I would never let you take me, no matter how much my scent is driving you mad."

Youko needed to learn who was the alpha of this relationship. She always going to be the alpha female. She walked seductively over to Youko, her tail caressed his arm. She had remembered Youko's little tail fetish. Time to make Youko regret ever living.

"Catarina," Youko gasped at the feeling of her tail on his skin. His voice had came out all husky, she had clearly given him a raise.

"Remember Youko," she whispered into his ears. "I follow no ones rules but my own. You don't get to tell me what to do. Night."

She walked away. It took everything in Youko not to chase after her, and rip her clothes off. This was going to be a long week.

Catarina:-rolls on floor laughing- Guess I showed him who's alpha!

Youko:-growls- no fair using your tail!

That's your fault for having a tail fetish.

Youko: I do not have a tail fetish!
