And I am back with chapter 7!

Catarina: Finally! Now tell me do I live or die!

All in good time, you'll just have to read to find out, and by the way I still don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Kurama was shock at the sight before him. Catarina had torn through his Rose Whip, which had quickly repaired itself, and sliced the demon in two. Then the street they where on was covered in Shadow demons. There had to be at leasta hundredof them. The bulk of them attacking Catarina.

Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke where making quick work of the demons. Then Kurama looked over and saw Catarina fall. Youko couldn't take anymore, he had just found his mate! No way would she be taken from him.

Youko transformed, ears and all. The Shadow demons where momentarily stunned by the transformation the just witnessed, then continued to attack. Youko had enough of these pitiful demons.

"Rose Whiplash!" he called out. The Rose Whiplash took care of the remainingShadow demons. The only one that was left fled in terror. Youko didn't care, he was worried about the unmoving Catarina. He went to her side at once.

"Youko," gasped Yusuke. He had only seen Kurama in demon form before at the Dark Tournament. It was still shocking to see it again, especially when no magic item was present to stir the transformation.

"Catarina," Youko said as he knelt down by her. He pulled her in to his lap and put his ear next to her lips. She was still breathing, to his relief. He moved a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Please wake up, love"

Her eyes peaked open. Her pale blue eyes stared into Youko's golden hazel eyes.

"Youko," she breathed. "I…"

She fell back into the blackness. He picked her up cradle style and walked over to the stunned Hiei and Yusuke. He didn't care that her blood was staining his white clothes. He needed to attened to her wounds and quickly. Catarina was slowly slipping from this world, and Youko would do his damnest to save her.

"I must attend to her wounds quickly," said Youko. Hiei stared at Youko, he still didn't understand how he was able to transform.

You must tell me how you did that. came Hiei's voice threw Youko's head.

Later. Was his only reply.

"My house is closest," said Yusuke, coming out of his shock. "Let's go."

The walk to Yusuke's house was quiet. To no one's surprise Atsuko had gone out for the night. They walked through the house andinto Yusuke's room.

"Lay her on the bed," Yusuke said. He cringed at the thought of washing the blood off his sheets, but he wasn't getting on Youko's bad side. Hiei walked in with a bowl of warm water and an arm full of rags. He handed them over to Youko, and then sat next to Yusuke against the wall opposite the bed,as Youko cleaned Catarina's wounds.

"You think she is still alive?" Yusuke whispered to Hiei.

"For his sake I hope she is," he muttered. "Shouldn't you go attend to your own wounds?"

"Yeah, I guess," Yusuke said as he got up and left the room. Hiei knew is was going to be a long night. He decided to take a quick nap, while the others where attending to wounds. Youko had taken her shirt off and was cleaning her stab wound.

"You still look amazing, even after a harsh beaten," he whispered to her. He patched the cleaned stabwound and hope the blood would soon clot. She had lost far too much blood. If she was a full demon he knew he wouldn't doubt for a secondshe would survive."But you are a half breed, and must fightfor your right to live. I haven't seen you this battered and bruised, since our fight. You gave me a run for my life."

"So who is she really?" asked Yusuke leaning on the doorway. He had bandages over the scratch marks across his cheeks, and the swelling had gone down in his jaw.

"My mate," Youko replied. He checked her over once more. Besides the stab wound nothing else was bleeding out, and most of her bruises had turned a deep purple. She murmured in her sleep. Youko covered her up with a blanket and signaled Yusuke to follow him. Hiei stayed where he was to make sure nothing happened to Catarina.

They made it out to the kitchen, and sat at the table. they sat in silence for awhile,when Yusuke finally broke the silence. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Youko looked up at him, he was tired and couldn't hold his demon form any longer. In a flash he was back to his human form. He sighed and look down at his hands covered in Catarina's blood. "Because I wasn't even sure if I was going to tell her."

"Well are you?"

"Not yet," he sighed.

"You know I don't agree," Yusuke sighed. "But I won't say anything. So how do we plan to retrieve her, and I assume your daughter?"

"Well until she awakes we can't do much," Kurama said slamming his fist against the table. "She know where this demon is located, I wouldn't know how to find him without her help. Also Catalina is indeed my daughter."

"We could ask Botan."

"Yes, except she is a wanted criminal, and I refuse to let her get caught or turn herself in."

"Maybe pacifier breath will go easy on her is she turns herself in," Yusuke said to comfort his friend. "You know punish her like he is you and Hiei."

"I wish he would be that easy, but her crimes are great." Yusuke looked to say 'how bad could they be' when Kurama continued. "She slaughtered a whole village."

"Yeah, and Hiei killed people," argued Yusuke.

"She killed small children, animals that where just breathing there. When it comes down to it pure innocence! She committed the most heinous act in the spirit world. I doubt there is anything you could do to get Koenma to change his mind about her."

"Don't lose hope yet," Yusuke said. "The outcome of this may still turn out happy."

"How is that possible," said Kurama as he threw his head into his hands. "I'm not sure she will even survive the night, let alone be able to be reunited with me."

Catarina: I'm going to kill you if I die!

Why? You deserve to die, you are a murder.

Catarina: But... I'm such a lovable character!

Where is your proof? Next time you will find out if Catarina lives or dies. Best part is she doesn't even know! (PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!) Quiet! Review, flame, atleast let me know you are reading! I want to know what people think! Till next time, I'm your Witchy host, and that's my assassin!
