A/N: hmm ohh tonight is the new Hp book party! 14.7.05, Btw I won't be concentrating so much on Tony and Gibbs, as I will on Kate, Ari, and Cali. I mean of course the reunion between Kate and…. Nvm…
Disclaimer: NO!
Kate woke up, afraid of what Daylight might bring. She had been curled up on the couch in the fetal position all night crying. Her cheek was bruised, and the blood from the most recent head trauma, had started to flow running down her face for about 3 minutes, before she had thought to try and stop the blood flow. So in retrospect: her night had been painful, disgusting, and she had to pee like none other. Ari hadn't let her go to the bathroom yet.
Ari sauntered in looking pissed, yet in a way kind of –needy.
"I'm having company over. That means you have to disappear, or," he said smiling, and leaning down to where she was sitting on the couch.
Kate leaned forward giving him the look she always gave Tony when he left her hanging.
"Or, what?" She said smirking at him.
"Or reappear, as my wife."
"Yeahhhhhhnnnoo," She said pretending to vomit over the side of the couch, where she almost had that morning.
"That's what I thought, only these people would be more than happy to help me make you disappear…" Ari said laughing.
"And why, per say, do you need me to pose as your wife?"
" I don't, but I have the feeling you will anyway," He said with that evil smile he always had.
Kate sat back on the couch, looking at him, trying to gauge whether he was bluffing or not. 'Dang him, he knows I will,' she sighed giving in. "What does being your wife entail, exactly," She said giving him an appraising look.
"You do everything exactly as I tell you; you do whatever my company tells you, and other than that you just keep your mouth shut, and stay in the kitchen. Oh, and you'll need to find something else to wear," he said.
"And how exactly do you expect me to do that? You were in such a rush to hit me over the head, you didn't let me go get some clothes."
"You're right-"
"I know I am," she said earning herself an evil glare.
"That is why you and me are going shopping, and just to be safe you're wearing a hejab, and some of Yasmine's clothes, they will probably be an inch or two short though," He said smirking at her.
"No way, and besides I-"
"Good, It's settled then," he said tossing her some clothes he had been holding. Kate caught them, looking at him incredulously.
"What?" He said just standing there.
"GET OUT!" She said pointing to the door.
He rolled his eyes and walked out. Kate held up the clothes she was supposed to be putting on, and groaned. 'No offense, Yasmine, but you just weren't into fashion were you?' She thought as she put on the long dress, with gaudy flowers on it. She sighed as she pulled the over sized sweater that clashed horribly. And she wrapped the hejab around her head and pinned it carefully, pulled the veil down, and walked to the door. If Tony ever saw her like this, she would never live it down.
"I'm ready," she called to Ari.
She heard the door unlock, and pushed open the door, glaring at Ari through the veil.
"Ahh Caitlin- wait yes, we must change your name, I'll just call you Yasmine,"
"Wait, what about Cali?" She said stopping at the front door.
"She won't be awake for quite some time I assure you." He said taking her arm. Kate scowled, disgusted at how he treated his own daughter. She got into the red Camaro, slamming the door unnecessarily. Ari looked at her, knowing she did this just to aggravate him.
6 HOURS LATER
Kate stood amazed at her accomplishment, she had managed to clean up the living rooms and the kitchen. Under Ari's orders of course, and also the preferred method of intimidation, pointing a gun at her. Ari however, had transformed the living room, it now had 3 different plasma's and two computers, that hooked up to them. Everything had been swept and thrown away, and put in its proper place. Kate collapsed on the couch, exhausted, after their shopping trip, where, they had argued over everything, They had argued, over how fast he was driving, How slow she was perusing through the stores, what she could buy, where she could shop, and even what colors!
Kate smiled at how she had eventually won over the shopping trip. Telling him if he was so impatient why didn't he make himself useful and carry some more bags. That had shut him up, (he was already carrying about 7) Since she couldn't really divorce him, she was going to just use the definition for divorce instead : to rip his heart out through his wallet.
