Wings: well... not the best, but it gets it going where I want it headed.
Kat explored the grounds that day, walking miles and miles on end, finding ponds, rivers, waterfalls, and the most beautiful thing on earth. Nature. Kat ran into a Cougar however, and after a battle of more or less wits, Kat befriended him, and named him Quinn. The brothers weren't quite sure if they should let it be a house Cougar, or not, but it proved house trained, and Oto did have a spot for animals...
The week passed, Kat asked if she could invite her bestfriend over, and they agreed, but only after a good few hours of her training exhaustingly. Kat was far more than exhausted, but she missed Kuwabara, and if he wouldn't ask her to hang out, she'd ask him. She wasn't letting go that easily. Kat sent Quinn with a message tied onto his collar. The collar had a bell on it, and whenever Quinn would take a step or move his head, it would jingle. He hated it.
Kuwabara was more than surprised when he was tackled by a friggen Mountain Lion, but fell in love with Quinn after he started purring. Yes, Quinn approved of this man. Kuwabara took the note, and pet the kitty, and fed him steak. Kuwabara walked Quinn to Kurama's house.
"Is it a good idea to go?" Kuwabara asked, petting the kitty.
"I say you should go, but if you see anything that looks like abuse, of neglect, or ANYTHING, I want you to send Quinn to me." Kurama nuzzled the Cat.
He was officially a house Cougar. Of course the instant Quinn saw Hiei, Quinn fell in love. Quinn tackled Hiei, and started licking his face. Hiei was utterly confused by the Cougar. Hiei took more or less a shine to him, and there was a silent oath of trust between the two. Kuwabara followed the Cougar to the Toguro-and Kat residence. Kuwabara rang the doorbell, and Kat opened the door. Kat looked desheveled and run-down, but was still over joyed to see him. Her hair was messy, and she was bruised from her training, but Kuwabara didn't know she'd been training.
He was her first visitor!
Kuwabara said he'd be in in a second, and quickly sent Quinn back to Kurama and Hiei. Quinn ran back with some sort of abandon, if it weren't only for the message, it was to see his beloved, Hiei, once more. Quinn was Species challenged. He believed, and always had, since before Kat came along that he belonged in the human world, and after meeting Hiei, he found out why. Quinn liked scaring the people in town, but was wary of those men with those angry sticks.
Quinn found Kurama sitting at his window, chatting with Hiei who sat in the tree, grumping about how trees were better than beds. Kurama just sighed, and tried to convince him his suicidal tendancies were not stupid enough to actually kill him. Hiei told him he'd go find 'the baka' and ask him how he does it. Quinn however decided that the obstacle of a tree and gravity could not keep him from Hiei, so while this conversation went on, Quinn climbed the tree, carried Hiei like a cub down the tree, and nuzzled and pampered him.
Kurama was hysterical. On the floor laughing. The kitten had really fallen in love with Hiei! Hiei was not so amused. Kurama climbed down the tree, or jumped, it isn't a key factor in this story. Seriously, would the fate of the universes depend on if Kurama climbed or jumped down a tree, 'cause dude, that'd be some funky messed up jam of an exsistance! ANYHOW!
Kurama walked to Hiei after... getting out of his room by way of tree, when he realized the implication of Quinn's presence there. Something had happened to the sweet little girl!
"Let's go!" Kurama growled.
Quinn almost pouted if a Cougar could, but let Hiei get up, and followed, or well led them to the Toguro house hold. Yusuke would catch up, Hiei sent Quinn to get him. Kurama first scoped out, hiding their energies, and found the brothers were out and off the grounds. Kurama and Hiei looked into each window. Finally they found where Kat and Kuwabara were talking.
"Yes, they even let me train with them today!" Kat smiled. "Want to see what I learned?" She asked eagerly.
"Sure." Kuwabara smiled, his eyes still full of concern.
"We have to go outside, though. I'm not allowed to use my energy in the house, well not until I can control it real good." Kat led Kuwabara out of the house, and when they got a good distance awat from the house she showed him her burnt palms. " I got it wrong alot, but it was worth it!"
"Well, show me!" Kuwabara urged.
Kat held her fists together, and concentrated, when she took one hand away there was a ball of energy the size of a baseball. Kat wound up like a pitcher, left leg raised, and she let it go.
"Baseball-cannon!"
There was a hole burned through the shrubbery and tree's, and Ani's shouted her name angrily.
"I'm in trouble..." Kat blushed and sighed. "Oh well." She shrugged.
"What's he gonna do to ya?" Kuwabara asked, worriedly.
"I'll deal with it when I come to it." Kat shrugged. "Couldn't be worse than today was."
Kurama watched the two, and Hiei listened to Kat's thoughts.
"They're training her." Hiei said shockedly. "They made her train for 7 hours straight, and for being just a beginner, that is far too long." Hiei shook his head.
"That's neglecting her needs." Kurama noted, beginning to plana case aganst the Toguro Brothers.
"Kuwabara was her first visitor, and to let him come over, she had to train for even longer." Hiei said.
"That's just harsh."
"Thanks for coming over Kuwa. It's been real lonely here." Kat smiled and hugged him good-bye. "You can stop by anytime, you know?"
"I'll be back, don't worry." Kuwabara kissed her forehead. " I promise."
Kat was flush red when Kuwabara left. She didn't even know what to do with herself. She headed into the house, where Ani stood disappointedly. She bit her lip, and chuckled nervously.
"Kat, you know very well why I'm angry, don't you?" Ani asked.
"Because I wasn't supposed to go back outside, 'cause it got dark." Kat hung her head shamefully.
"And you promised not to show anyone what we taught you." Oto said, walking into the room. "You missed dinner, by the way."
"What do you think is a reasonable punishment?" Ani asked Kat.
"Training?" Kat asked tiredly, knowing that her Uncles would make her train anyway.
"Very well. Tomorrow, and the next day." Oto nodded, and Kat headed to her bedroom.
They sat with Koenma, realizing Kat would have no idea whatsoever if they did go see him. How could she find out?
"They're training her?" Genkai asked. "You have to be kidding me!"
"We're not joking." Kuwabara sighed. "She was training unholy hours. She was showed me something she called a 'Baseball Cannon'."
"Hn." Genkai thought for a moment. "As I suspected."
Kurama nodded in agreement. Yusuke looked at them blankly.
"What did you suspect?" Yusuke asked frustratedly.
"That we need to get her out of there, and we need her to find a new interest, or she'll take a liking to training, much like you did after you stopped being lazy." Genkai told Yusuke.
"What kind of interest?" Koenma, teen form, asked.
"Maybe a hobby, a good TV show, or a boy." Kurama noted.
"Training is a hobby, the brothers would use that against her. They would tear out the cable if she got to addicted. So, where can we find a boy?" Genkai asked. "If she found a boy she really liked, and the brothers approved of him, they'd never be able to tear them apart. They do genuinely want her to be happy, but if they can get something out of it too, then, you fill in the blanks."
"Mitari?"
"He's labled a traitor. Touya?"
"Gay."
"Karasu?" Yusuke ventured.
"No! Not him!" Kurama yelled.
"Just for the record, I'm totally against all of this." Kuwabara mentioned. "I don't think this is the way to go about things..."
"Along the right lines, but not Karasu. Someone we can convince to be on our side, with a reputation like their own." Koenma started the thought.
"Someone they know of, and trust, but not close enough to see their alterior motives..." Kurama continued.
"Someone Kat will like..." Yusuke mentioned.
"Someone who looks the part." Hiei added. "No pansies."
"Someone who can get messages to us without being noticed by the brothers." Genkai noted.
"Someone who can get Kat back in the Ningenkai." Kurama continued.
"Someone romantic, so the brothers will believe they're together." Koenma noted.
"Someone who will be able to feel the same way she feels for them." Yukina said, making an entrance, with Shizuru.
"Someone who won't be afraid to sweep her off her feet." Shizuru smiled. "Man, I wish I were next on the match making list."
"Let it be a person who can do all of these things, and still be responsible, and sneaky enough to do it behind her back." Genkai ignored that comment
"Hiei?" Yukina asked sweetly.
"I'm not romantic." Hiei meant that to sound harsher than it came out, but he couldn't.
"I get your idea. Make it inside the team..." Koenma smiled.
"Kuwa--"
"I can't." Kuwabara sighed. "I can't play with her emotions like that."
"Yusuke?" Kurama asked.
"Youko?" Yusuke asked back.
"Two candidates!" Yukina clapped her hands happily.
"I don't think they'd think I was enough of an enemy, consideing I'm the leader of this team. Youko could pull it off without trouble. Said that he was sick of being pushed around by a punk and a god who's still in diapers, go renegade." Yusuke pointed out.
"Aww, so there is a brain in there somewhere!" Genkai smiled.
"I don't think he'll agree with that." Kurama stated. "He's got a mind of his own, and if he doesn't want to, Enma couldn't make him."
"That does pose a problem."
Kat trained for two days straight, no sleeping, or eating, and when the second day came to an end, she fell asleep on the walk back to the mansion. Oto picked her up swiftly, and tucked her in bed when he got upstairs. Oto smiled sweetly down at her.
"Do you think we went a little too hard on her?" Ani asked.
"Maybe a little, but she's a survivor, she'll be up in two days, completely better." Oto assured. "But we had better go food shopping."
When Kat woke up, she raided the fridge, took a shower, and told the Uncles that she'd be going out for a while. It took a little convincing, but after a few minutes, and the promise of more training, they gave her a 11 o'clock curfew. She went out of their estate, and evidently got lost. She walked for hours on hours, and by 8 o'clock she realized how lost she'd gotten herself, and noted she probably wouldn't be home by curfew. She knew only more training would come out of this, and considered not going home at all, because if they worried enough, maybe they wouldn't let her out of the house.
She started getting worried when she started heading into a bad territory, she could feel the spirits of tormented people who had passed, and many of them told her to turn back. A particular spirit wouldn't let her pass, a young lady maybe 3 years older than herself.
"Please, I need to get through." Kat begged her.
"Go away! If you pass this point, nothing but God's own power can save you." She warned.
"I'll be okay." Kat assured.
"You're not strong enough yet!" She told. "However strong you think you are, you cannot fight against them!"
"Please, I can't go back to where I came from!" Kat begged.
"Your home is the only safe place for you now!" The spirit pleaded. "I can only rest in peace knowing someone else will not suffer the same fate I did."
It was an illusion, the spirits, they were quite real, Koenma had taken a few who had debts to pay to him, and let them help him. Kat had to be scared, scared enough for this to work. Koenma and Genkai planned this, with the help of 4 Rekai teams, and most of the Underworld working on this. It was a big project for them, they'd never done anything like this before.
Kat was getting past the last Spirit that would try to stop her, and getting to the path where the Rekai, dressed like normal, average, scum-dwelling demons who were out to steal, kill, rape, the like.
Kat was frightened, maybe she should have listened to that girl, but it was too late to turn back, there were demons cutting that way off, and she was going to be surrounded if she didn't hurry up. She walked faster, her t-shirt and shorts not enough to keep her warm in the forest at night. She was shivering, and maybe not only from the cold, but maybe the bad feeling she got here. Someone was sending her these vibes, quite purposely, she was positive. Someone wanted her so be scared, and it was working.
Kat straightened her self up, putting a brave front up, she wouldn't give these monsters the reactions they wanted.
"She's doing perfectly." Shizuru smiled. "Soon..."
Kat got deeper, and found several demons were following her, and doing a bad job of hiding it. She sensed stronger ones ahead. She looked at her watch, it lighting up, as she pressed that button, and it showed 11:37. She was screwed. They'd never trust her again if she went back now. She went on, until she realized she was completely surrounded. They were in a circle around her. They were moving in. They were just feet away from her.
"What do you want? I don't have anything." Kat said gently, and scaredly.
"We want you." Came an oddly familiar voice, but she dismissed it, she'd never associate herself with the likes of them.
Kat didn't understand.
Genkai hit herself in the forehead. "I forgot. I never gave her the 'good touch-bad touch' talk. Or the 'talk' talk."
"They won't hurt her, they are truly just kind hearted fellows. Friendly groping is all I said they could do. " Koenma said. "But wait for it..."
"I'm really against this idea..." Kuwabara smiled softly, worriedly.
"W-What? What are you talking about?" Kat asked.
"C'mon, lass, doncha understand? We like little girls." Another said.
That's when it hit Kat, and she began to panic. She sent sever 'Baseball Cannons' out, but it didn't even phase them. Kat's eyes welled up with tears, and someone's hand ran itself through her hair. She tried to move away, but hands grabbed her from every angle.
"Now!" Koenma said into a walkie-talkie.
Kat was full out crying right now, an then she felt approaching presesnces, not the Uncles... And soon several demons were missing, and many lay on the ground, bleeding, dead, and soon there was no one touching her. She looked up shamefully at her rescuer. A beautiful boy... black hair infron of chocolate brown eyes. He was very... handsome... How could she be caught by someone so handsome when she was in such a bad situation? There was a handsome redhaired boy, and a shorter one, who looked like he should've been one of the attackers. She wiped her eyes, but more tears fell. She couldn't stop them.
She should've listened. It was always that that got her in trouble.
"Are you alright?" The chocolate brown eyes asked, staring deeply into her own. His hand carressed her cheek softly, and the other wiped the tears away. He smiled softly at her, reassuring her with his gentle hands.
"I-I.. don't know..." She said almost in a whisper.
"Let's get you home, then." He picked her up bride style, and carried her to the Toguro residence. The others stayed behind, to clean up the mess. She looked into his eyes trustingly, and put her head on his shoulder. This man was different. This man was gentle and kind. This man-- Who was this man!
"I... never got your name..." She said softly, standing on the front porch of the Toguro residence.
"Yusuke Urameshi." He smiled.
"I'm Kat." She smiled back at him. "Thank you for saving me. I-If you hadn't been there..." Kat wiped away a stray tear quickly. "D-Do you want to come in?" She asked, blushing madly.
"I'd like that." Yusuke nodded.
When they entered, Ani and Oto were sitting there angrily, impatiently waiting for her to come in. Yusuke knew he'd have to explain things to them. It wasn't only anger he saw, there was intense worry written over Ani's face, and Oto was clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly.
"Hmm..." Ani sighed.
"I'm sorry I'm late but... I didn't know how to go to the Ningenkai, and I got lost..." Kat fidgeted nervously. Were they very mad at her?
"She was attacked by a group of demons, too strong for normal folk to take care of. They were gonna..." Yusuke rubbed Kat's back softly, slow gentle circles. He mouthed to Ani and Oto 'Rape her.' He stared confidently into Ani's eyes, and it was that trustful eye contact that made Ani believe him.
"I was on my way home... Honest I was..." Kat brushed away another tear. "He saved me, though..."
"Yusuke Urameshi, what are you planning?" Ani 'tsked'.
"I'm not planning anything. My team was decommisioned a little more than two weeks ago." Yusuke looked straight into Ani's eyes. "Recently we've resorted to just doing good in the Makai. God knows it needs all the good it can get."
"Kat, go take a shower, I'd like to speak with your... rescuer..." Ani stated.
"Don't scare him off, okay?" Kat begged, and went upstairs to take a shower.
"What I meant was, what are your intentions for Kat?" Ani asked. "She's taken a shine to you, and I want to know how exactly to keep you around."
Yusuke was surprised. "You couldn't make me leave her." Yusuke sighed, and stared up the stairs dreamily. "I'm not sure what 'intentions' are, but I don't plan on letting her go. I... I don't know why I feel this way about her." Yusuke chuckled for emphasis. "But gosh... I just met her, and I think this will be something lasting."
"I haven't seen her so taken with anybody since Kazuma." Ani told him. "She really loves him, and all he does is hurt her. Even the little stuff he doesn't notice."
"We read her diary." Oto chuckled. "It's a good read, maybe you should take a look." Oto reached into his pocket and tried to hand it to him.
"I believe if she wants to tell me, then I'll listen, but I don't plan on being a stalker by reading through her personal effects." Yusuke smiled, and pushed the book away. Oto smiled. That had been a test.
"He kissed her, on the forehead mind you, and that tore her to pieces. Do you think he realizes what he's doing?" Ani asked Yusuke. "Almost slit her wrists."
"Subconcious, probably. I'll have a word with him." Yusuke growled.
Yusuke got home about 4 hours later. Truth be told, he wasn't so taken with her as he led the brothers to believe. He could see possibly falling in love, but as we all know, love takes time. Yusuke had to admit he had a crush on the girl, but it wasn't anything too serious yet. Kat was sweet, and adorable, but he had yet to see the other plains of Kat, the parts on Kuwabara and herself knew. He had to talk to Kuwabara. This minute, he had to know.
Yusuke ran to the Kuwabara residence, and used his key to get into the house. Yusuke often just let himself in, and they found him on the floor the next morning, so eventually they just gave him a key. Yusuke ran up the stairs into Kuwabara's room, and sat on his bed, waking him up surprisedly.
"I didn't touch the cake!" Kuwabara screamed sitting up.
"Obviously." Yusuke chuckled.
"What are you doing in my room at 5 am!" Kuwabara asked.
"I have to know her. Why is she the way she is?" Yusuke asked.
"Go find out yourself." Kuwabara rolled over, and pulled the covers up.
"She's sleeping by now. I just... have to know." Yusuke didn't know why he had to know, but he wasn't one to question things.
"Then spend time with her!" Kuwabara muttered. "I was against this whole idea anyway."
"I'm not leaving." Yusuke smiled.
Kuwabara gave up, sat up, and sighed. "What do you want to know?"
"What's her favorite soda?" Yusuke asked randomly.
"Sprite." Kuwabara sighed. He could do this in his sleep, so why not, right? Kuwabara closed his eys, still sitting up, knee's to his chest, elbows on his knee's, hands hiding his face.
"Food?"
"Boston Cream Doughnuts."
"Who was her first boyfriend?"
"Never had one."
"First kiss?"
"Me."
"You?"
"When we were five, it didn't mean anything." Kuwabara noted.
Yusuke noticed Kuwabara was sleeping, and would probably mean he'd answer anything.
"Do you care about her?"
"Very much." Kuwabara answered
"Big lug." Yusuke shook his head. "Why do you care about her?"
"Because he's always taken a liking to strays." Shizuru answered from the doorway. "If you want some good answers, follow me."
Yusuke got up, and walked with Shizuru to the livingroom downstairs. Shizuru took out some Photo albums. Shizuru opened the first one, and the spine cracked, it hadn't been open in years.
"The first day of school Kuwabara brought her home to me and my father, telling us he was going to marry her, this was only a few months after my mom died, and Kuwabara hadn't spoken a word since he found out. The first words we heard out of him were 'This is Kat. We're gonna get married.'" Shizuru pointed to a few pictured as she turned the page.
Pictures of Kuwabara and Kat wrestling, hugging, napping under a tree together. After a while Yusuke started noticing the way Kat looked at Kuwabara, adoringly, lovingly, always with a soft pink blush across her cheeks, she really cared, and Kuwabara looked at her the way he looked at Kurama, as friends. Kat started filling out in all the right places, and began to be a beautiful young lady.
"She could always keep her own against him. Even recently, Kuwabara hadn't been holding much back either, and she had him pinned and crying 'uncle'." Shizuru sighed. She pointed to a picture of Kat in a slim pink and blue dress, hair long and curly, make-up done, and jewlery adorning her in all the right places. She turned the page. "Their first school dance. Kuwabara took Kat."
She pointed to a picture of them dancing a slow dance, Kuwabara holding his arms aroung her lower back, her arms around his neck. She was looking at him like she was seeing the face of the most beautiful person in the world. The next picture Kat had her head on his chest, blushing like crazy.
"She really loves him." Yusuke muttered. "Really love. This isn't even the fake teen love some pass off as real love."
"Any affection Kuwabara shows her kills her inside." Shizuru sighed. "She's actually slit her wrist over it."
"She tried to- to..." It finally hit Yusuke what Ani had said earlier, and how it all was coming together.
"Yes, Kuwabara doesn't know. She tried again recently, but I got to her this time, and Genkai kicked her ass so bad." Shizuru chuckled. "Literally kicked some sense into her."
Kuwabara, however, had woken when Yusuke left his room, and was listening in, hiding his presence. When Kuwabara heard this his heart broke in several pieces. He'd caused that? He...
"Why would a girl like that get so stuck on someone when she could have anyone she wanted?" Yusuke asked quietly.
"She knows she can't have him, she accepts that he loves Yukina, and not her, but it still hurts when he shows any sign of caring it only reminds her, and she... well, you understand?" Shizuru asked.
"Yeah.. Yeah I do..." Yusuke's eyes opened wide. "Kuwabara kissed her forehead, would that do it?"
"He did what!" Shizuru asked, horrified. "What was the bastard thinking!"
"So she's in trouble?" Yusuke asked.
"If she isn't dead, I'd say so." Shizuru nodded.
"Let's go." Yusuke and Shizuru rushed out of the house, leaving a dazed Kuwabara behind.
Kat was indestructable. Kuwabara had come to that conclusion a million times, she was nigh-invulnerable. God moted. Nothing hurt her. She couldn't be ... suicidal ... She was a passive person, and she'd let anything try her, and she'd always turn out okay. Always, she had to, or she wouldn't be Kat. Kat... wasn't who he thought she was. She was someone who had kept secrets from him. Someone who had lied about those bandages on her wrists, her ankles, her throat, about how she felt. She...
Yusuke and Shizuru got there just in time, it seemed. Just after the knife met her wrist, tears streamed down her face. Yusuke tore his sleeve off, and immediatly wrapped it around her wrist tightly. Shizuru, after all that time hanging with Yukina and Genkai had picked up a few tricks, like how to heal. She put her hands over her wrist, and concentrated. Kat's wrist would be scarred, but otherwise there would be no sign of what she did.
Yusuke took her in his arms and held her.
"You idiot!" Shizuru growled. "Stupid stunt."
"I understand you love him, and you will never be able to feel that way about me, but if you let me, I can try my best to be half of what he was for you." Yusule said holding her. "This was not a smart thing to do, Kat." Yusuke looked into her eyes. "Do you know how much we'd all miss you? I just met you, I don't plan on losing you so fast."
Shizuru smiled. Now she had to go console 'baby-brother' who had been listening in. This would take about 3 days until she'd be able to convince him to eat, or leave his bed. Kuwabara would be scarred deeply by this. His best friend fell in love with him, but he loved another, and every time he did anything sweet to his best friend, she'd try to die.
"C'mon, let's get you to Genkai's." Yusuke held her hand, and walked out of mansion till he reached a portal. He led her through, holding her hand sweetly, and walked to the Temple where Genkai was currently stationed.
Yusuke let Genkai know they were here, and he took Kat into the room where the only television was stationed, and they cuddled up to a movie on Lifetime. Yusuke ended up crying before it was a half-hour in, and Kat laughed at him. Yusuke glowered at her, and she snuggled into him farther.
"Sentimental much?" She joked.
"She just lost all her hopes and dreams in a car crash, and you're laughing at me?" Yusuke snorted.
"You bet!" Kat smiled, it was a challenge now, would Yusuke back up his statement? "It's all the men's fault though. In these movies the men are the bad guys. Empowerment for women, I suppose."
Yusuke tackled Kat to the ground, but Kat had him pinned within a minute. "Hmm, you're strong for a girl."
"So?" Kat asked. "What's wrong with strong women?"
"You just confuse me." Yusuke blushed at their position after a moment.
She sighed happily. "I was hoping so." She smiled, and layed down comfortably next to him on the floor.
"Hoping to confuse me?" Yusuke asked.
"It's my goal to confuse as many people as I can." Kat giggled, rolling onto her stomach to look at Yusuke in the eyes.
"Oh! Of course..." Yusuke said sarcastically. "How would I know that?"
Kat giggled, and smiled at him. "I forgot about your weak psychic abilities, sorry!"
"I do NOT have weak psychic abilities." Yusuke yelled.
Kat smiled, and nodded. "I can read your thoughts, Yusuke, do not lie to me."
"Hey-Hey! No going inside my head, okay!" Yusuke ordered.
"What've you got to hide from me?" Kat asked nervously. "Don't tell me you're allergic to cats..."
"No, I don't have much to hide, but everyone has their secrets." Yusuke chuckled.
"I'm completely open and honest with you, why can you not be such a way with me?" Kat asked.
"Because, I've done some bad things, and if you know about them it wil only result in my favorite girl getting hurt." Yusuke smoothed it over, using one hand to caress her cheek.
Kat blushed, and that was a complete understatement. "I... I'm your favorite?"
"Ever since I met you yesterday I haven't been able to sleep, or eat or anything, I really like you." Yusuke smiled kindly.
"Well don't kill yourself over me!" Kat laughed
"Well, if I had we'd've been together forever." Yusuke said quietly.
"Can we not talk about it, please?" Kat asked, smiled gone, and a sad look upong her face. "Second time you saved me, and both were very embarrassing moments."
"I think I know why you did it, Kat. Was it Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked, placing some hair behind her ear.
"You wouldn't understand." Kat shook her head.
"I understand how much you really love him, and how much I want to be him." Yusuke pecked her cheek. "Someday I'll get your affections, Kat, someday."
