And we are back! (Catarina's tail twitches) Now to answer the question of Catarina's life! Read to find out!
Catarina:WHAT! Tell me now!
READ! Plus, I had a bad day at work and no reviews or flames!So I don't need to put up with you right now!
Catarina: You know it's illegal to kill your muses in the state of Ohio!
Um, I don't live in Ohio. (DAMMIT!) Also no own Yu Yu Hakusho, of course you know that by now.
The darkness seemed to be getting lighter. There was a bright light ahead of her. She wanted to head towards it. She had a feeling the light would lead her away from the pain, the hurt, the loss, the emptiness that was her life.
Wait! No the light will lead to death! I'm not gonna die and leave my daughter in danger! NEVER!
"Ne..ver," she whispered. Hiei had heard her and walked over to stared down at Catarina. She wasn't moving, but her breathing was ragged. He had a feeling she was battling for her life, but what could he do about it? What did the humans do to make their love ones come back?
"Catarina," he said to her. he knew it was a crazy idea, but he didn't know what else to do."Come back to him, he needs you."
What was he doing. This was crazy! What could Kurama and Yusuke possible be talking about for so longand leaving me with this problem! If she dies Youko will take his anger out on me, I know it!
"He needs you," she heard. Who the hell is HE! She steamed. Then she remembered. Before the darkness surrounded her she saw him. "Youko?"
"Youko," she murmured. Tears start to flow from her eyes. Hiei had enough he was going to get the others. "Help me."
Hiei turned to face her again. He couldn't leave her, even if for a minuet. He just have to hope the others would return soon. He knew she had heard him, but it wasn't the right thing to say to make her wake up. But what could he say to make her awake?
"You have to wake up," he said. He was sure this would get her. "You have to save you daughter."
She started to thrash around in the bed. Well he certainly angered her, but her eyes where still closed. What the hell was going through this woman's mind. Hiei thought. Kurama, get in here now! Hiei thought into Kurama's mind.
"Catalina! I can't die! I need to save her!" she was fighting her way away from the light. But the darkness just really wasn't that comforting. The light was caressing her soul with it's promise of no pain. "NO! There will be pain! Punishment no matter whichway I go! I choose my destiny! MY PATH!" she screamed at the light.
She had started to scream and mutter something Hiei couldn't understand. Hiei was starting to freak out, he had no idea what to do. Kurama reached the door way and stared at the bed. Her eyes flew opened and Hiei looked down at her.
She struggled to keep her eyesopen. When they came into focus she wasstareing into Hiei's crimson eyes. Part of her had hope she would awake to see Youko's eyes, but those eyes were definitely not his. Regaining her senses she sat up, a little too quickly, as she felt a sharp pain in her gut. The blackness was threatening to return, but she would fight it, Catalina needed her.
"Where am I?" she said glaring at Hiei.
"Safe," Kurama said. He walked over to the bed where she sat up. She stared at him, then realized she was sitting only in her bra and pants.
"Pretty boy," she growled. "I feel you have some explaining to do. Let's start with where the hell is my shirt?"
"I had to take it off to attended to your stab wound," replied Kurama. "You should rest, you have lost a lot of blood."
"The hell I'll rest!" she screamed. "How dare you tell me what to do!"
She threw the covers back and went to stand up. She was still light headed, and ended up being caught by Kurama. She was three inches shorter then Kurama, but she was use to men being taller then her 5'8". She stared up into his green eyes, almost mesmerized by them. She thought they hid some great secret behind them.
Hiei took this moment as a chance to slip from the room. It was getting a little to evolved for his tastes. Plus he wanted to see if Yusuke had some ice cream in his freezer.
Kurama was having a hard time trying to stop Youko from being released again. He could feel every curve of her body pressed against him. Neither where making a move, just pressed against each other staring into each other eyes. Youko was incredibly happy at this development. He didn't care she had to trip and fall into his arms for him to hold her again. He wasn't about to let go of her, never again! Tell her the truth Shuichi! roared Youko.
"Catarina," said Kurama finally finding his voice. "I…"
Catarina seemed to snap from her daze as Kurama spoke. She pushed herself off him, and fell back onto the bed.
"Seems I have no balance right now," she laughed. Get a hold of yourself girl! Also heart stop beating so fast! This is not good! Shit he's staring at me again! "Um, where is my shirt?"
Smooth Catarina, she thought. I'm sure he thinks you are very sane and cool headed now!
Kurama picked her shirt up off the ground and tossed it to her. He had put some distance between them, now leaning against the wall opposite of the bed. She almost found out the truth! He wasn't ready for her reaction yet! Plus, she was injured, it would be like taking advantage of her! She had her shirt on, and was fingering the hole the knife had gone through.
"Catalina is going to kill me," she sighed.
"What?" Kurama said. Surely he didn't hear her right. Why would her daughter kill her over a shirt?
"Because this is one of her band shirt she goes through great length to get delivered here," Catarina sighed again thinking about her daughter. "She was never happy when we moved from America to here. She told me these shirts are her piece of America she refuses to give up."
"Why did you live in America?"
"Because living here brought to many memories back. Good ones and bad ones," she put her head into her hands, afraid tears would fall. Why am I pouring my guts out to pretty boy? "I was afraid too. Afraid I would leave Catalina to join Youko on the other side."
Kurama needed to change the subject, and quick. Youko was stirring, angered by the pain she had to go through. He didn't know what he would do if the angry kitsune broke free.
"Will you let us help you now?" he asked her.
"Do I have a choice anymore?" she replied. Her mood just got darker. "All my choices have been taken away. I hate this feeling of powerlessness!" Dammit stop telling him these things! "So do you have a plan?"
"For right now you rest," said Kurama. "Tomorrow we will find this demon and get your daughter back."
"She's already gone," she replied. "He has taken her far away by now."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Motherly instincts," she replied. "Promise me we will find her."
"I promise," Kurama said as he left the room. She stared at where he left. Why did she feel so reassured when he promised her. Only Youko ever made me feel this way. Could he be related to Youko?
Catarina: HA! I knew you couldn't kill me! (wipes sweat off brow)
Had you worried huh?
Catarina: Hell yeah you did! Knowing you, until this story is over I will contuine to fear for my life.
Well review, flame, call Catarina a murder! You know I'm dying to hear what people are thinking so far!
Catarina: Ya, she thinks no reviews mean people hate her story, and if she thinks that she'll stop writting! Also we are moving to Ohio!
