The one who understood. (Katherine Star 2)

Howdy all! This is like a sequel to my other fanfic, Katherine Star, but it's not. It's just another idea I had with the same characters, (Mainly after reading the manga) It would help to have read the last one, but you don't have too have done. This is a completely different story for your enjoyment!

Set just after Faust beat Yoh in the preliminary round.

Summery: Kat Star is an elf, and she's a shaman, one starry night, she meets a dark stranger in the park, a stranger who just beat Yoh in his preliminary round. Faust VIII!

Chapter 3

Kat pulled herself up and muttered "fifty-nine" She and Yoh were doing press-ups in the garden. Morty was half watching them, half reading.

"Hey Kat." Said Yoh as he pushed himself up.

"Yes?" Kat gasped.

"How come you've been out so much this week?" Yoh asked.

"I met someone." She replied.

"You mean, a boyfriend someone?"

"No. Just a someone. Don't worry about it."

"What kind of someone?"

"Just a someone, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

"I trust you." Said Yoh sitting up and stretching. Kat joined him.

"I know. You don't need to worry. It's just, this person is kinda sick, so I'm just spending a little time with him, trying to make him a bit better."

"A sick guy, ok." Said Yoh. "What's wrong with him?"

"Depression mostly…" Said Kat. "He's just got to cheer up a bit and realise he's not alone in the world."

"What's he like?" Morty asked.

"A little odd, and very secretive, but he's not so bad if given the chance."

"So, he's a good guy then?" Yoh asked.

"Depends where you stand. Why are you asking so many questions?"

"It's just, you usually don't like going out, and now we can't keep you in, just wanted to make sure you weren't in trouble or anything." Explained Yoh. Kat smiled.

"Thanks." She said. "But its ok, everything's under control."

"So are you going out again tonight?" Morty asked.

"For a bit." Kat replied.

"But you have a match today!" Said Yoh.

"I know, but I have to pick something up. It's ok, stop worrying!"

"I'm only worried because I care about you." Replied Yoh. Kat smiled again.

"I know. Thanks Yoh."

Faust opened the door. Kat was standing on the other side. "Hi." She greeted.

"I thought you weren't coming back till tomorrow?" Faust asked.

"I know, but I have a match this evening, so I need my pendant." Faust stood aside and let her in.

"Where's the match, may I come?"

"It in the woods, and I'd rather you didn't." Faust looked a little hurt.

"Why not? Aren't we friends?"

"We are, yes, but Yoh will be there, and I don't want him to know I'm seeing you."

"Why not?"

"Because Yoh is very protective of me, he is of all his friends, and as trusting as he is, you just beat him up and tried to kill Morty, remember? I don't think even Yoh can forgive that quick. Give it time, then you can come." Faust frowned and watched her sit on the bed.

"Alright, I'll stay behind this time." Kat smiled.

"Good. Do you have my pendent?" Faust reached into his pocket and drew out the pendant. He handed it to Kat who smiled and put it on. "Thanks."

"How do I know you'll come back this time?" Faust asked.

"Just trust me."

"No."

"Why not, haven't I earned it yet?"

"You have, I trust you Kat, I don't trust anyone else not to stop you."

"How is your having my pendant going to help you find me if something happens?"

"Because your guardian ghost can lead me to you." Kat frowned.

"Faust, I know you were hurt by Eliza's death, but it's time to move on, otherwise it'll kill you."

"That wouldn't be so bad." Said Faust.

"No!" Said Kat sharply. "Death is not a way out of this!"

"Why? Haven't I suffered enough?" Kat's face softened.

"I know how you feel." She said. She paused then looked up at him. "You care about me, don't you?"

"Yes." Replied Faust without hesitation.

"Then please, live, for me." Faust frowned, and thought for a moment, then nodded. Kat smiled and got to her feet, she kissed his cheek, then left.

"Your right." Said Faust. "You are completely right. I do care about you, and I've been so self-centred, thinking only of my own sorrows, I should think of yours too. I love you, and I can give you love, something I think you crave as well. I will live; I'll live for you Katherine, just as I once lived for Eliza."
