Kat looked at Ruby but didn't lower her gun. Ruby looked at her and crossed her arms across her chest. Kat didn't care. Sam may trust her but Kat was ready to just exorcise her. She watched as Ruby started to pace back and forth but kept her gun trained on her. Ruby turned and glared at her.

"You know it isn't nice holding guns on people that help you," she said.

"Yeah, really don't think you help. I actually think that you're a lying whore who should go back to Hell," Kat said.

"You would love that wouldn't you? Then you could have both Winchesters to yourself."

"Okay, you know I am really starting to get sick of people thinking me and Sam are a couple. It's getting on my nerves."

"Oh boohoo."

Kat could feel her anger rising. She had really had enough with having to deal with Ruby. She didn't care what Sam had to say anymore she was done. She aimed her gun and pulled the trigger. She smiled with satisfaction when the bullet lodged itself in Ruby's chest. Ruby looked at her shocked.

"Oops, finger slipped," Kat said.

Dean wiped the sweat from his forehead as he climbed out of the grave with Sam. He climbed to his feet and started to wipe the mud from his hands and jeans. All he managed was smear the mud on his jeans more. He looked up and caught the matches that Sam tossed at him. He watched as Sam tossed salt and lighter fluid in the grave over the bones. Dean waited until Sam grabbed Addie's carrier and stepped back before lighting the matches and tossing them in the grave. He stood there for a moment watching as the body burned. He then turned and started to collect all their stuff.

"Alright, let's get out of here," Dean said swinging the bag over his shoulder.

"Look at that Addie, you survived your first hunt," Sam said looking down at his niece.

"Now let's go make sure Kitten is alright."

"I'm sure she is fine, Dean. I mean what kind of trouble can she get into?"

Kat threw Ruby down the stairs and leaned against the wall. She wiped the blood from her busted lip and watched as Ruby landed hard on the first floor landing. She went down the stairs wondering how the hell she was going to explain her busted lip and the blood on her shirt without telling Sam and Dean she beat the crap out of Ruby. She towered over Ruby and kicked her in the gut a couple of times. She smiled and leaned down and looked in Ruby's face.

"This is so much fun, really," she said kicking her again.

"I wouldn't get so comfort," Ruby said looking up at her blood coming out of the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, really and why is that?"

Kat cursed when Ruby yanked on her leg tripping her. She landed on the wood floor hard. She moaned and closed her eyes. She opened them and saw Ruby's fist connecting with her jaw. She turned her head only to have Ruby punch her on the other side. Kat had had enough. She focused her energy and shoved it at Ruby. She opened her eyes and turned to stare at Ruby. Ruby flew across the room and slammed into the wall. Kat shoved herself up to her knees and looked at Ruby laying in the middle of the ruined wall. She smiled and pushed herself up to her feet.

"Ruby, never mess with a witch. And stay away from Sam," Kat said glaring at her.

"You can't control what Sam does," Ruby moaned pulling away from the wall only to fall to the floor.

"No, I can't but if I exorcise your ass, you won't be able to 'help' him."

Kat took a step closer to Ruby. She fully intended on doing that when she heard the impala drive up to the spa. She turned and walked over to the window and peeked out. She saw Dean climb out of the car. She turned and saw that Ruby was gone. She cursed and opened the door. She walked out and met Dean on the porch. She knew by the look on his face that he saw the blood on her shirt right away. She leaned against the railing.

"What the hell happened?" he demanded taking her face in his hands and turning it towards the light coming from the full moon.

"Ghost got active before you salted and burned the body. I'll be fine. My gun is upstairs though," Kat said.

"I'll get it. You sure you're alright?"

"Nothing a little ice and beer can't cure."

Dean looked at Kat and knew that there was more going on. He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek softly. He pulled her close and held her in his arms for a moment. He knew when she was lying to him and she had lied to him right there. He had a feeling it wasn't the ghost that had beat her up. He pulled away and went into the spa asking himself if it wasn't the ghost then who could have beaten her like that.

Sam climbed out of the passenger side of the impala to climb in the back letting Kat in front. He watched as Kat walked towards the car. He saw the busted lip and looked at her. She leaned against the car beside him and looked at the ground. She then looked up at him and he didn't like the look in her eyes.

"Ruby was here," Kat said.

"What?"

"Yeah, and this is courtesy of her."

"She hit you?" Sam couldn't believe it. He knew that Ruby and Kat hated each other but he had thought that he had been clear to Ruby that she was never to lay on a hand on Kat.

"Yes, Sam she hit me. I know it's hard to fathom but she is a demon, so hitting humans and beating them up is part of her nature. I didn't tell Dean, I told him the ghost did this."

"You lied to him," Sam stated looking at Kat. He didn't like her lying to Dean. He knew that it would cause problems between them because Dean was going to know that Kat was lying. He didn't want anything that could cause them to fight more to happen.

"Yes, I lied. And do not give me that look. You were the one who didn't tell Dean that Ruby was back from the start, so do not judge me for lying, Sam. I don't want Dean knowing and getting angry at you."

"I can handle Dean's anger."

"Really? And how is he going to feel when you tell him that not only is Ruby back but she showed you how to use your powers?"

Kat stepped in front of Sam and crossed her arms across her arms. She looked at Sam and watched as he looked away. She hated that he hadn't told Dean about using his ability. Now by that action alone, he had her lying to Dean as well. She leaned back against the car and looked at the house. She watched as Dean came out carrying her shotgun. She watched as Sam walked past her and climbed in the backseat. She stood there and knew that they would all have to sit down and come clean to one another. She watched Dean as he walked past her to the trunk. She knew that he didn't believe her. She sighed and climbed into the car. She rested her head on the back of the seat and didn't relish the thought of sitting in the car with Dean for the next few hours. She knew it was not going to go over very well.

Dean drove griping the steering wheel tight. He had been driving for hours now without stopping. He knew if he stopped then he would start asking Kat questions and those questions would probably lead to them arguing. He was just so damn tired of them arguing that he really didn't have the energy to confront her on her lies. He turned and looked at her and saw her sitting her back resting against the passenger door as she read Anna Karenina with a book light. He watched as she looked up and met his glaze. He looked away and looked back at the road. He heard Sam snore softly in the backseat and looked in the rear view mirror to check on Adora. She was sleeping soundly despite the noise her uncle was making. He looked back at the road and sighed.

"Everything okay?" Kat asked putting her book aside.

"It's fine," Dean answered switching on the wipers as it started to rain.

"I don't think. Something is up. I can tell by your tone. And the fact that we have been driving eight hours and you haven't mentioned stopping for food yet."

"Kitten, don't."

"Don't what?"

"Don't pretend that everything is alright here and that you didn't lie to me back there. I just... I am so damn tired of fighting with you I don't have the energy to start another round."

Kat watched Dean and knew that she was hurting him. She turned and looked out the window. She didn't know why everything had to be so hard between them now. She hated the lies and everything. She felt tears coming to her eyes. She couldn't lie to him. She knew that Sam wanted her to but she just couldn't. She didn't want there to be any more pain or secrets between her and Dean. She loved him and she just wanted to be with him.

"Pull over," she said.

"What?"

"I said pull over. We need to talk and I want you to look at me when I tell you this."

Dean slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road. He stopped the impala and watched as Kat climbed out of the car quietly shutting her door. He followed her out careful not to slam his door. He walked around the impala and walked over to where she stood a couple of feet away. He stood in front of her and looked into her grey eyes. He saw the tears but didn't make a move to hold her in his arms.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Dean asked her crossing his arms across his chest.

"It wasn't the ghost that did this to me. It was Ruby," Kat said.

"What?"

"Ruby, she is back in a new body and after Sam. I have tried, Dean and tried to keep her away but being pregnant with Addie and dealing with losing you and trying to keep Sam a float... She got close to him."

"Why didn't you tell me until now?"

"Why do you think? I can already see you blaming yourself. This is not your fault, Dean."

"I left him alone and she-."

"Stop it! He wasn't alone, I was there but... we were both hurting and she offered up Lilith on a platter. Sam took it."

"Why didn't you?"

Kat wiped the tears from her face. She looked at Dean and shrugged. She turned and looked at the stars and thought about his question. She didn't really know why she had hated the very sight of Ruby from the beginning or why she didn't trust her. She thought it was because Ruby was a demon but she knew it was more than that. She sighed and looked back at Dean.

"I never trusted her. She was a demon first off and then... I always thought she was using you and Sam. And I found out I was right when you were gone. All she wanted was Sam. I don't know why but whatever the reason is it isn't good and Sam... He is just so desperate to get Lilith and punish her that he went along with Ruby," Kat explained.

"Is he still talking to her?" Dean asked.

"I don't know. She just showed up and I really didn't care anymore what she had to say. I shot her with the shotgun and then she attacked me. Was going to exorcise her when you showed up. I didn't... I never want you to know because I knew you would blame yourself. This isn't your fault, Dean you couldn't have stopped him."

"You don't know that."

"I know because I tried and I was there. He just wanted payback on Lilith at any cost. I can't tell you... It doesn't matter now, you're here and that's all that matters."

Dean let Kat pull him close to her. He kissed her when she kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her deeply. He wanted to know more about what had happened with Sam when he was in Hell. He knew it had to have been bad; real bad. He didn't want to bring it up though. He didn't know how to without feeling the guilt of causing it. He pulled away from the kiss and looked at Kat. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

"I love you," she told him softly.

"I love you too. Thanks for coming clean," Dean told her and kissed her nose.

"I had to. I didn't want it to come between us. Dean, please don't start something with Sam over this. Not tonight."

"Fine not tonight. But in the morning I am whopping his ass."

Kat nodded. She let Dean take her hand and pulled her back to the impala. She climbed in the passenger and felt like a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. She sat back and watched as Dean took off and drove down the road again. She knew she had done the right thing. She knew that there was going to be a fight when Dean confronted Sam but she didn't care. She knew that Sam had to come clean with Dean one day. He couldn't keep hiding who he was from his brother. It wasn't good for either of them.
