Ok, not really the best chapter, but the next one will be better, I promise.

Once again, I suck for the delay of the chapter.

Review! Or no Kari goodness!

And when you looked into my eyes
Felt a certain serge of urgency
Fascination cast a spell
And you became more than just a mystery

"What were you thinking?!" Kate exploded twenty minutes later. "You shot Gibbs!"

Ari, who was sitting on the couch while Kate paced in front of him, tried not to smirk at her. She turned to him and punched his arm.

"Why did you shoot him?" She asked standing in front of him.

He shrugged "To keep my cover"

Kate took a deep breath and sat down next to him. "Gibbs will hunt you down Ari. Don't you get that? He won't stop until he kills you" She said. He put an arm on the back of the couch and turned to her more.

"Caitlin, it is alright. Agent Gibbs will not find me" He said, and then leaned into whisper in her ear "I am very good at hiding"

She leaned forward and rested her forehead against his. "If you pull something like that again I will shoot you" She warned.

"You would not shoot me" He said shaking his head and leaning back with a smirk.

"Why not?" She asked.

He shrugged "You love me" He said seriously, and then grinned at her.

She glared "Don't mock" She said. He chuckled, leaning forward and kissing her. She pulled him up by his shirt and pulled him with a smirk, much more evil than his own, to her bedroom.

"I can't" Kate said shaking her head while looking down at the offending object "It's...I'll fall"

Ari chuckled "You will not fall Caitlin. I will be with you the whole time. All you have to do is hold onto me" He said "I assure you, you will be fine"

Kate cautiously took the motorcycle helmet from Ari's outstretched hand, ignoring the look he gave her. It was Saturday morning, the day after Ari had taken them hostage, and he was trying to get her to take a ride on his motorcycle.

"Fine" She huffed "But if I fall..."

"You may kill me and feed me too many vicious animals" He said getting on the motorcycle and putting his helmet on.

"Ok" Kate said more to herself than to him. She slowly got onto the motorcycle behind him, putting her helmet on, and wrapped her arms around his waist "Ok, let's go"

"That was amazing!" Kate exclaimed taking her helmet off and jumping off the bike an hour later. Ari took off his helmet and gave her a smug look.

"I told you that you would enjoy it"

Kate crossed her arms "Don't be so smug" She said.

He got off the bike and stood in front of her "My Caitlin" He said shaking his head with a smile playing across his lips "One day you will learn that I am always right"

She stepped forward, getting in his personal space and smirking up at him.

"That's where you're wrong" She said, her eyes flicking to his lips then back to his eyes.

"Oh, is that right?" Ari said quickly wrapping his free arm around her waist and pulling her into a kiss.

Abby had come over that afternoon to see how Kate was. Kate had quickly sent Ari into the bedroom before answering the door, worried that it would be Gibbs. But either way Ari had to stay in there until Abby left.

"So" Abby said sitting cross-legged on the couch with her boots on the ground next to her "About what happened yesterday…" She said in a low voice. Kate shook her head.

"It's alright" Kate said "It was nothing. I'm fine" She said.

Abby just nodded and decided not to push the subject further.

"I saw a man's jacket on the chair next to the door" Abby said in an excited voice. Kate smiled and looked down. "Are you dating someone?!" Abby asked "Tell me about him!"

Kate laughed at Abby's enthusiasm "Well, if you can call it dating. He's...I've never been with someone like him before" Kate said, knowing that Ari would be listening through the door.

"Wow" Abby said "It sounds like you really like him"

Kate laughed "I do" She paused for a moment "What about you and Agent McGee?"

Abby grinned "Tim's a sweetie. But I want to hear about your man"

Two hours later Abby left with little information on Kate's 'New Man'. Kate opened her bedroom door only to find Ari asleep in the middle of the bed, his head in between the pillows at the top. Kate laughed and crawled over the top of him, leaning down and kissing him until he opened his eyes.

"Hey" She whispered. He sat up slightly and put his arms around her waist.

"I received a call, I will be leaving for a little over a week from tomorrow" He said. She slid down him slightly and rested her head on his chest.

"Ok" She whispered. He placed a hand on her back and kissed the top of her head before lying down with her and falling into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning Ari woke first, like he normally would when he stayed with Kate. He kissed her neck softly before getting up to have a shower. When he returned he sat down on the bed next to Kate and gently shook her shoulder.

"What time is it?" She mumbled into her pillow. Ari smiled.

"It is 4:30 in the morning Caitlin" He said in a low voice.

She rolled onto her back so she was looking up at him with a frown. "Are you leaving now?" She asked.

"I am" He said. She reached one hand up and wrapped it around his neck, pulling him down and pressing her lips to his. She pulled him on top of her and deepened the kiss. "Caitlin" He murmured against her lips "I must go"

She kissed him quickly again and got up, wrapping the sheet around her naked body and walking out into the living room with Ari walking behind her.

He wrapped his arms around her waist from the back and kissed her neck. "I will be back next week" He said. She turned in his arms and kissed him once more.

"I love you" She whispered. He kissed her forehead before leaning down and grabbing his duffle bag.

"Goodbye Caitlin" He said as he walked out the door. She sighed as she closed it behind him and walked back to her room, slipping one of his shirts on and trying to get some sleep.

"Kate" Abby said bouncing into the Bullpen later that afternoon "You gotta tell me more about this mystery man" She said. From across the Bullpen Tony's head shot up.

"What mystery man?" He asked with a grin. Kate stared at the also grinning Goth.

"Abby!"

"What?" She said innocently "Wasn't anyone supposed to know?"

Kate took a deep breath and Tony leaned against her desk "What's his name?" He asked.

"It's none of your concern DiNozzo!" She snapped.

"Alright!" He said "Fine" He looked at Abby, hoping she had the guys name for mocking purposes.

"I don't know!" She said. Kate groaned and rested her head in her hand, her hair falling from her neck. Abby laughed.

"Nice hickey, he give that to you?" She grinned. Kate's eyes widened and her hands covered her neck. Gibbs chose that moment to walk into the Bullpen.

"Gear up!"
