HA!!! At last! My greatest work is completed!!! (Well maybe not my greatest...)

ANYWAY!!

I'm not going to appolgise for the late chapter, cause, I AM a late updater...(Sorry). I have quite a few stories on the go at once, and it all depends how much inspiration I get for each of them... but on the bright side, at least I DO update even if it is eventually!

Ok, this chapter is kind of Yoh X Kat, but only with VERY subtle hints (They have a bit of a history together :-) )...


CHAPTER 8 – A friend's advice.

"Where'd you get that?" Yoh asked Kat. The elfish girl smiled at her friend.

"Get what?"

"That cut? It wasn't there yesterday…did you have a shaman fight or something."

"No. I'd have told you if I did."

"So where'd you get it? Cuts like that don't just appear." It was morning, and Kat was jogging through the park with Yoh. Anna had sent him out, and Kat had volunteered to go with him. "I didn't say anything at breakfast because I figured you might not want to tell anyone else. Particularly Anna, I know you don't get on." Kat smiled.

"It's nothing really…just…an accident."

"An accident that landed you with a straight cut down the side of your face?"

"It's a long story, please drop it Yoh." Yoh stopped suddenly frowning at her.

"I know who D.R.F is Kat." Kat stopped and looked round at him. "Amedamaru saw him last night, breaking in, then he saw him attack you. He was about to wake me up, when he stopped." He paused, as if waiting for her to explain. She didn't. "Then, you said you'd be his." Once again, Kat remained silent. Yoh sighed. He put his hands in his pockets, then sat on the park bench. Kat sat beside him.

"Yoh…" She paused. "I know you're worried…but you have to believe me, I can handle this…"

"He could have killed you Kat! He tried to kill Morty…"

"I know what I'm doing; you don't need to worry…"

"Kat…" It was his turn to pause. "I didn't give you up for someone like him." Kat frowned. An awkward silence fell. Kat broke it.

"Yoh…what happened with us, it didn't work, let it go."

"The only reason it didn't work was because of Anna!" Yoh protested. Kat shook her head.

"No Yoh, that wasn't it. We didn't want each other anymore."

"No Kat, you didn't want me anymore." Kat frowned deeper.

"You never said anything!" She said.

"It wouldn't have mattered. If I had said something, you'd have staid with me because you wouldn't want to hurt me, and I would have had to live knowing that it was all one sided, and I couldn't do that." Kat sighed, and leaned her head back on the bench.

"Oh boy." She said.

"Look, Kat, I'm not here to talk about us, it's over, and I know that, now we're friends. But I'm worried about this Faust thing. He's a dangerous guy…"

"But Yoh, he gave up Eliza for me, you know how attached to her he was."

"How do you know he's given her up?"

"I have my ways, remember." Yoh frowned.

"Oh, yeah."

"There is no deceit in anything Faust has said or done to me, I promise you." Yoh looked up at her and smiled suddenly, but Kat could easily see it was a fake.

"Ok. I might not trust him, but I trust you. If you say it's all good, I believe you." He paused again. "But Kat, if something ever happens, if he ever hurts you…you know you can come to me right?" Kat smiled.

"What are friends for?"

"Alright…" Then his real smile returned. "Cheeseburgers are on me!" He got to his feet, Kat followed him.

"Not if I get there and pay first!" She said as she ran off. Yoh laughed and ran after her. He smiled. It was like when they were kids, and chasing each other around his parent's village…
