Disclaimer: we no own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Sam stood there staring blankly at the fire apparition in front of her. Getting annoyed by his presence she let a low growl escape her now hoarse throat. Hiei glared at the defiant onna.
"Hn! Baka ookami. Get over yourself! Why are you upset?"
Sam's eyes continued to stare blankly at the short apparition.
"Why? Why? Why am I so upset? Ask me that again?"
Hiei growls irritated. "Baka she had a plan, went through with it. She isn't gone she's still here. Count your blessings!"
"Count my blessings...my blessings. Why it won't last long. Really how long? She missed the asshole's heart, and ghaa…. What the fuck ever!" Sam screamed turning to her left and taking off leaving a faint trail of blood behind her.
Hiei snarled and took off after Sam, tackling her to the ground. He pinned her arms and legs straddling her and forced her to look up at him.
"She missed by only a centimeter! When he comes back we will get him!" Hiei growled out staring Sam in the eyes.
Sam ignored his words and maneuvered her way from his grasp and took off again. Bleeding worse from Hiei tackling her, he disappeared, and reappearing right in front of her. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shoved her into a tree pinning her there.
"Hn! Onna stop this!" Hiei ordered through his annoyance and fury.
"Baka are you mad?" Hiei asked his gaze softening a little as he pulled her into an embrace, forcing Sam to her knees.
"Sam…I was worried about you. But more importantly Kat was and put up a fight against us because of it. So settle down." Hiei talked calmly mono tone.
Sam glared past Hiei into the forest her eyes filling with tears not returning the embrace. Soon she began to shake and wrapped her arms cautiously around the demon that refused to let go of her. Her body broke out into involuntary shakes as tears slid down her face. She buried her face in Hiei's shoulder sobbing.
"I thought I would never see her again. I was so scared I would never see her again and I was scared of that place but he would always talk about what he would do to...Kat….and…!"
Sam stopped talking getting dizzy from the blood lose. Hiei tightened his grip around the small girl trying to calm her down.
"Sam it will be ok." He spoke his voice holding a soothing tone to it.
"No it's not Hiei! He'll come back and try to take her again and –"
"That's where we'll be ready! Come on we better get those bandaged."
Sam nodded her silent agreement and pulled from Hiei's grasp and tried to stand. But feel back to her knees shaking. Hiei rolled his eyes and picked her up bridal style no matter how much she complained. She didn't have the energy to fight the demon off. He took off towards the temple.
Hiei sighed placing Sam on her bed as he looked around her room he walked to the bathroom and began to search for the bandages. Sam sat up and stared out her window.
"He'll come back. Just like last time and we won't know when." She mumbled to herself as Hiei repapered from the bathroom with the bandages. She growled. Oh how she hated it when a man touched her.
Kat sighed heavily as she lay on her bed glaring up at the ceiling.
"We'll have to be on alert full time till he's dead!"
Kurama was leaning against her wall looking out the window. He nodded his agreement to Kat. They sat there in silence for a bit longer thinking on what had happened and what could and might happen.
"I wonder if she still pissed off."
Kat closed her eyes and shook her head slowly "We will find out later!"
"I thought you where dieing to see her again?"
"I am but she's being taken care of right now, and her being healed in more important!"
Kurama nodded again and kept his gaze out the window. A few more minutes passed again before one of them spoke.
"So when do you think he'll strike again?"
Kat shrugged and closed her eyes. "Probably in a couple of days! He would want that cut to heal, but it will only reopen anyways!"
A smirk trailed Kat's lips. "You better not hope the same place!"
"I only missed by a centimeter! I was pretty close, and the heart will be mine!" Kurama nodded and looked at Kat.
"Come on lets go visit Sam."
Kat nodded and climbed out of bed and headed for the doors letting Kurama lead the way. Kurama opened the door to Sam's room to see Hiei finish bandaging the now asleep ookami. Hiei sighed to himself looking over the girl; he brushed a few bangs from in front of her eyes. He smiled a half smile and stood and stared at the two foxes in the room.
He headed for the window to only be stopped by Kurama and dragged out to another room, leaving Kat behind with the slumbering ookami. Kat watched as the boys left. She sighed as the door closed; she turned her attention back to the sleeping girl. She wiped her eyes as tears came forth. She sat on the bed causing Sam to roll over.
"I had a plan to make sure we were safe…I never would've really left with him….You know me to well. At least he didn't hurt you to bad." Kat whispered to the girl as a tear slid down her cheek, seeing her friend like this killed her, and knowing that she helped cause this suffering made it all the worse.
Mean while Kurama had took Hiei to the living room. He sat down on the couch as Hiei took his usual place at the window. He watched the demon closely; he noted the change in attitude. He smiled mentally. He crossed his arms over his chest as he lay back on the couch.
"Hiei is she going to be ok?"
"Hn. She was scared she would lose Kat. It's just that she couldn't take the thought of it, and the fact that he's still out there and that he can come back scares her."
"That's understandable, let's hope it just doesn't affect her to extreme lengths."
"Hn! It won't, she's stronger then that, even if she is just a week ookami Onna."
Kurama smiled at the demon on the window sill, in his own little twisted way, he showed he cared and that he was worried. He stood to place a comforting hand on his friend, but to only be interrupted by Yusuke's voice ringing out through the room.
"Where is she?" Yusuke bellowed. Kurama sighed and turned his attention to the distraught half demon.
"She's in her room, but she's resting. So leave her be."
"Screw that!" Yusuke boomed as he headed for the room, but to only have a little fire demon block his path.
"Yusuke you will leave her be!" He spoke threateningly.
"Let me pass Hiei. She's my cousin!"
"I don't care detective!"
Yusuke glared at the short demon, but sighed in defeat and turned and walked away mumbling about to stupid menstrual fire demons. Kurama shook his head as Hiei took his seat back at the window and placed his hand on his katana, ready for anything.
Kat sobbed quietly into the sheets on the bed. She clenched the sheets in her fist as she thought about Yukio and what Sam had to endure.
"I'll watch over you like I have been…I won't ever let him have you again…I wouldn't be able to take it if he did."
She whispered into the sheets. She tried to stop crying as she spoke those words. Sam stared at the wall tears in her eyes as she listened to the cries of the girl behind her and she thought about her time with Yukio.
Kat sat up and stared at the body of Sam before her eyes trailed down to her hands, she clenched her fists, leaving little whelp's form her nails. She narrowed her eyes at her hands.
"I know it's my fault that you got caught up in this mess, but it will be over soon I promise."
Sam sighed softly to herself and rolled over to face the upset vixen. She sat up and wrapped her arms around Kat before she knew that Sam was awake.
"Kat it isn't your fault. Never think that again. At least not where I can hear or see it."
Kat looked at Sam in surprise. Sam had been awake the whole time, and she just choose to make herself known. She smiled at the girl and wrapped her arms around the ookami, as tears slid from her eyes.
"If it wasn't for me being here, and around all of you this never would've happened. I just hope he leaves me alone now..."
Kat stopped mid sentence and stared into Sam's dark purple and soft blue eyes. She saw that the spark of life that used to be there was gone; she felt a pang in the pit of her stomach as she decided to tell her something of importance.
"But if he doesn't...my brother will be dead!" Kat beamed smirking. Sam looked at her confused. She blinked a couple of times and released the girl and turned to wear her whole body was facing her.
"Your brother?"
"Yes he's my brother."
"How... he is the one who turned you into a vampire and he is full vampire. Oh this is so confusing
"My father died, and my mother got with his dad, and that's how we are related...short version
"Does that mean he has shadow fox in his blood to?"
Kat shook her head at the confused Ookami; she looked so innocent and cute. Sam placed her hands to her head and shook her head as she racked her brain for all the right answers. Kat shook her head again and placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, causing her to look at her.
"He's my step brother...but I've always hated that term so I just call him brother."
Sam blinked at the vixen and shook her head vigorously.
"Oww…My poor head."
Kat covered her mouth as a small giggle came from her. Sam was doing this on purpose and Kat knew that now. Sam was cheering her up in her on little cute way. Kat tilted her head and stared at the girl in wonder. How she loved this girl, she smiled and decided to play along.
"Yes it's hard to understand that's why I just rather stay away."
"Well lets not tell anybody else they might not trust you if they knew."
"I hear ya loud and clear on that one."
Sam smiled a little to only lose the smile as she thought of something. She stared Kat straight in the eye, her eyes remained emotionless. Kat was a little taken back by the way her eyes looked and the way she had changed her demeanor so quick.
"You have to do one thing though!"
"Yeah and what would that be?"
Sam's face grew extremely serious as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"If he ever does get you, promise to take me with you."
"Why?"
Kat practically screamed as she tried to search the unreadable eyes of her ookami friend. Sam growled lowly to herself and turned her head away and stared at the floor.
"Just promise me this please."
"Okay...Hiei will kill me, but okay."
Sam turned her attention back to Kat and smiled closing her eyes; she threw her arms around her vixen friend as she buried her face in her shoulders. Kat returned the hug, not liking the fact much that her friend was locking her feelings.
Kat decided against her better instincts to do anything, because of the ordeal Sam had just gone threw. She smiled and kissed Sam's head.
"You're welcome. Do you feel well enough to get up?"
"Of course…"
Sam proclaimed as she tried to stand on her feet, but to only land on her butt. She glanced up at Kat embarrassment showing through her forced smile.
"Ok maybe not."
"Would you like some help?"
"No! I mean I can do it by myself."
Sam stood slowly using the wall for support; she left the room and headed for the leaving the room. Kat sighed and shook her head as she followed closely behind her. Sam growled lowly and turned her gaze over her shoulder.
"Stop it! I'm not a vegetable; I can take care of myself!"
Kat stopped in her tracks. Surprised that Sam had said that, but she growled lowly to where only she could hear it and sped up and passed the ookami and walked into the leaving room first. Sam sighed a sigh of relief as she let her full support rely on the wall.
She took a few deep breaths. Once she caught her breath after a few minutes, she stood up tall and acted as if nothing was wrong. She walked into the living room.
Kat watched Sam; knowing she was faking her wellness she didn't bring it up. Sam noticed Kat looking at her, she sighed on her mind and turned her attention away from the vixen and planted herself underneath the window on the floor.
Sam drew her knees to her chest and buried her face in her knees hiding from the group stares.
Kat let a small sigh escape her lips as she turned her attention to the boys and shook her head sadly. Kurama offered Kat the open seat beside him on the couch. She shook her head and remained standing; she kept her eyes on Sam.
Sam felt her stares on her she looked up and glared at her. Kat sighed and leaned against the wall opposite of Sam, she crossed her arms over her chest as she turned her attention to the whole group, and she slowly turned her attention to the floor as Yusuke walked in the room.
He didn't seem to see his cousin positioned on the floor beneath window sill. He flopped down beside Kurama glaring at Kat. Kat just ignored the boy.
"So what are we going to do?"
All the boys shrugged, well minus Hiei who just kept his eyes on Sam, very sneaky like to wear only the two Kitsunes noticed. Sam sighed lowly and turned her gaze to the wall hiding from her eyes from the people in the room.
Still Yusuke didn't notice his cousin in the room as he closed his eyes and lay back against the couch. Kat turned her attention to Sam; she sighed lowly.
"Sam I really think I should tell them, the more I hold back from them the less the will trust me in the end."
"What ever it's your secret."
Yusuke shot up at the sound of Sam's voice he turned towards to the girl and a giant smile came across his face as he lunged at the girl into a death bear hug. Sam growled lowly at Yusuke, who of course didn't take the hint.
Sam sighed after a while when Yusuke refused to let go and snaked her arms around the boy, she looked up at Kat with nothing in her eyes or in her facial features.
Kat looked at her feet ashamed but nodded slowly. She took a deep breath and looked back up at the group of boys.
"Well you see Yukio, he's my brother. Well not my blood brother. He's my half brother." Kat remarked with uncertainty in her voice as she watched the group of boys go wide eye and Yusuke narrowed his eyes.
She shrunk back a little as Yusuke stood. She glared at the teen as he approached her. Sam just rolled her eyes and sighed at the two of them.
"How could you hide that from us? Because of you Sam got taken away!" Yusuke screamed at the vixen, she hung her head low. Knowing what Yusuke said was true. Kat growled and looked up at the boy; she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Well it's something that I thought ya'll didn't need to know, but seeing as she's gotten involved and he's probably coming back, I figured you needed to know."
Kat spook lowly as she pointed to Sam.
"I have a name!"
"Sorry…I mean Sam has gotten involved."
Sam glared narrowing her eyes at the girl as she stood slowly and headed for a different room not caring if they saw her use the wall for support.
Kat sighed watching as she walked out, Yusuke watched and chased after her; the rest of the demon in the leaving room cringed at the sound of bone to bone then skull to wall. Kat shook her head.
"Never mess with a hurt animal, especially an ookami or vixen." Kat whispered to herself. She looked at Kurama to only see him staring at her.
"What?"
"Is there something going on between you two that you aren't telling us?"
"No, not that I know of, but..." Kat sighed and looked down the hall where her beloved friend disappeared. "She has been known to keep things from me."
Kurama nodded his head; he closed his eyes leaning back on the couch as thoughts raced threw his mind.
"Is there anything else we know on your brother?"
"Nope except he's sick and twisted, but I take it you gathered that already."
