A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating this regularly. I'll be posting a few of these as I write them hopefully. I'll be working on a few of the requests at the moment, and the first one is of a Dean/Katherine. Also, a slight format change.

Chapter Summery: " She doesn't love Dean as much as she loves the pain that comes with him."

Combat Baby- Metric

Dean/Katherine

We used to leave the blue lights on and there was a beat.
Ever since you have been gone, it's all caffeine-free.
Faux punk fatigues.
Said it all before.
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep.
Get no harm done, no.
None of them want to fight me.

Katherine told herself that she wouldn't miss him. And she told herself that over and over. But, the truth was, she missed him.

Not in the way that look-a-like, Elena, would. She didn't miss his arms around her, or the whispered words.

To be honest, she missed the sting of his fist against her cheek. And they way they spat out the other's names like they were spitting out something bitter.

( " Blood sucking bitch!")

(( "Cocky bastard!"))

She's even tried picking fights with Damon and even Stefan, but she was usually shoved away for the bigger problems. Like she was some pestering dog.

(( " No point fighting you, Katherine, we all know who will win this one."))

Was she not tough enough?

Combat, baby. Come back, baby.
Fight off the lethargy.
Don't go quietly.
Combat, baby.
Said you would never give up easy.
Combat, baby, come back.

Katherine often wonders when he decided to give up. To move on. Was it when she decided that she didn't want to pick on him anymore? Did she bore him?

He had said once that she was stuck with him as long as she was still around.

( " Keep thinking that, Winchester. You know I'll be on top in the end.")

(( " And who says I'm going to be going down easy?"))

She guessed that fact was a small victory. She smirked at the thought.

A small victory was still a victory.

Get back in town, I wanna paint it black.
Wanna get around.
Easy living crowd so flat.
Said it all before.
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep.
I want to be wrong, but,
no one here wants to fight me like you do.

She could remember when Dean had shown up in Mystic Falls with the intention of kicking some vampire ass. But, Stefan being Stefan, had to play peacekeeper and tell them that they weren't the vampires they should be worried about.

Katherine tried to play herself off as the bad guy, but the vampire brothers shot her down in front of the hunter brothers.

( " Her bark is worse than her bite.")

(( " She looks stuck up. I could take her."))

She cursed out the four of them mentally, but, Katherine being Katherine, set out to prove them wrong.

What she didn't plan on was falling in love.

If you even want to call it that.

She doesn't love Dean as much as she loves the pain that comes with him.

Combat, baby. Come back, baby.
Fight off the lethargy.
Don't go quietly.
Combat, baby.
Said you would never give up easy.
Combat, baby. Come back...

I try to be so nice.
Compromise.
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child.
Every mighty mild seventies child.
Beats me.

Being nice was overplayed in her book, and if she hung around Damon, Stefan, and Elena's little love triangle any longer her reputation would be in jeopardy. She gave Damon the damn cure for the werewolf bite, and that was all she needed to do. She skipped town for a while, to go wreak havoc on another town.

She was quite careless. And that would be her eventual downfall.

Combat, baby. Come back, baby.
Combat, baby. Come back.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby.
Combat, baby. Come back.

Fangs in a man's neck, she drops the body with a loud thud in the quiet alleyway. She had never felt better, blood pumping through her system. She was ready to see what other victims she could terrorize when a voice broke into her power high.

" Hey, bloodsucker!"

( No...)

She turns slowly, still keeping her somewhat cool composure. She sees the cocky smirk, the shotgun.

" You miss me?" He's still got that infuriating smirk on his mouth.

( More then you'll never know.)

" Mm. Not really, actually." Katherine said, " but if you're here to finish the job you came to right place."

" I did say I wouldn't be going down easily."

And so, the two of them started that same deadly dance, that is as much new to them as it familiar.

How I miss your ranting...
Do you miss my all time lows?
