Welcome to chapter 11!

Catarina: Can I get another shot in? Please?

Maybe. Anyway Happy 4th to those in the states, I'm gonna go blow things up to celebrate our freedom!(runs away with arm full of fireworks)

Catarina: Well while she's off doing that I'll do the work. I or the witch do not, will not, can not own Yu Yu Hakusho. Enjoy!

Catarina had fled to her apartment. She didn't know where else to go. Her world had crashed down around her, again. She felt numb again. He was alive, and he hadn't told her.

"You're alive," she screamed as she slammed her fist into the wall. "and you refused to tell me!"

Youko had followed her scent. He stood in the open door of the apartment. Her fist was buried in the wall, her head was down and a pool of tears was beginning to form around her feet. He stepped into the apartment and closed the door.

"Just leave," she spoke as she heard the door snap shut. Only he would have followed her. "There's nothing left to be said."

"There's plenty left to be said," Youko wasn't sure how he could make her understand, or help heal her pain and hurt. "You are the only thing in the world I truly prize."

"Ha," she hissed. "Me being your mate was nothing more then a joke."

"Was it? Do you truly believe it?"

"And what am I suppose to tell Catalina? Huh?" Catarina said as she turned to face him. "Do you know how hard it is to tell a six year old that their father is dead! Now! Now you are going to tell that same child their father was alive for the fifteen years she has mourned for him! Playing around as some pretty boy human why we mourned for you! Hell I don't even know if Catalina is alive anymore!"

"We will save her," Youko said taking a step closer to her. "We will be a family again, I promise."

"You also promised never to leave me," she replied darkly. "You broke your promise, and there is no we anymore. There is just me."

"I came back didn't I?"

"You also kept the truth from me! Another thing.." she was interrupted by Youko's communicator going off. "You going to answer that?"

"I have more important things to deal with then Koenma right now," he growled. "I will not leave you! You are the greatest treasure.."

"You ever stole?" she purred. "You like to steal a lot of things! You stole my heart, my life, my tears…"

"Your flower?" He received another slap for his comment. "Just telling the truth!"

"Well the truth came a little to late!" she was exhausted. Yelling had taken a lot out of her, mostly cause she had to fight her heart. The heart that wanted to jump into Youko's arms and be happy her love is alive. "I've been through hell, and nothing is going to heal the scars of the past!"

"You can let me at least try!" His communicator went off again.

"Looks like they need you," she sighed walking away from him.

"You need me!"

"I need no one!" she roared as she sat on the couch.

"Let me help you rescue your daughter," he pleaded.

"No!" she gritted her teeth. She her anger had returned. "Don't you dare bring her into this! I won't allow you to toy with her like you did me!"

"I didn't toy with you!" Youko was beyond frustrated. This conversation was going no where fast. Just one big circle. "Look, let me help you find Catalina. Then I'll walk away from you if that is what you want. Just let me help you rescue our child."

"My child," Catarina hissed. "You will never refer to her as yours or ours." Youko sighed, feeling like the argument hadn't died yet. "I will allow you to help me, but Catalina will not know how you truly are, and you will walk away from us."

"Fine," Youko choked out. He wanted Catalina to be safe again, and if he has to agree to walk away at the end he would. He made his agreement with crossed fingers behind his back. No way would he ever walk away from her, she was his! Both of them where his! No one ever takes Youko Kurama's things

"Better answer that," she said as the communicator beeped again. Youko sighed as he opened the communicator.

"Ah Ku.. YOUKO!" came the shock voice of Koenma. "Well that explains why Kurama wasn't answering the communicator."

"Just tell me what you want," Youko hissed at Koenma., making Koenma nervous. Why was it no one wanted to piss off Youko and would almost always bend to his will, except the one person he wanted to! But that was part of her charm, she would never let Youko get his way without a fight. It kept the spark in their relationship going strong as ever. Sure it was frustrating, but after the fight he always had to look forward to the make up, this time would be no diffrent.

"Right…um report to Yusuke's immediately, and bring the assassin with you," stuttered Koenma. Youko looked over at Catarina, she just glared back. "I know she is there, so don't argue."

"What no threats of punishment, of eternal burning in hell," she muttered. Koenma heard her, she intended for him too.

"You told Botan you would face judgment after your daughter was saved," replied Koenma. "If I have my Spirit Detective help rescue your daughter, I fully expect you to turn yourself in after she is safe."

"So the great King Enma Jr does know mercy," she mused. "You have my word, I will turn myself in after Catalina is safe."

"Right," said a cheerful Koenma. "Now get to Yusuke's!"

Youko clicked the communicator shut. He started at her.

"I won't let you face judgment," he told her. He wouldn't lose her to Koenma!

"You have no choice," she repliedas she left the room. He was lost in thought. She return a few minuets later wearing a tight leather outfit, the hugged every curve. He had to do everything possible not to drool.

"Let's go," she muttered, her insides cheered at his stares, but she tried to ignore it.

"You are not wearing that," Youko ordered. No way, every males eyes would wander her body, and she was his!

"The hell I'm not," she said as her anger replaced the cheering. No one told her what to do! "This is my work outfit, and plus I'm not your mate anymore!"

"That rose on you left collar bone begs to differ," he replied. Her hand flew up to the spot of her mating mark. It was covered in leather but he knew it was there. He put his handover his collar bone. "Your mark is still there too."

"They mean nothing anymore," she sighed. "Can we go now!"

"Fine," he sighed. He was getting no where fast. Maybe he would let her have her way, at least for a little while.

Catarina: Possessive isn't he?

LOL! Yep, and you did get another shot in.

Catarina: Course I did! No one speaks of my flower like that!

Oh boy, well till next time, I want to hear your thoughts, so hit the button or this could be my last update!

Catarina: WHAT! You're not serious! (starts walking away) Hey! WITCH! (runs after witch)
